Chapter 15 third chapter

The dwarf came to us and murmured: "After listening to those words just now, I can probably guess what happened. Are you being hunted down by half-orcs?" "Yes. Sorry. This is our business, so please back off." Karl said while drawing out his long sword.The dwarf shook his head. "No, where is it? By now, we can finally have a good fight, right?" I looked down at the bold dwarf, then smiled at him.The opponent is not an ordinary half-orc, but a giant orc, and there are nine enemies, and we only have five, but this dwarf shows no fear at all.Wait, are there really five of us?I looked at Iluli.Iruri happened to be looking at me at that time too.

"Shu Qi." "What's up?" "This morning, we have become friends, right?" I smiled slightly.Iluli didn't seem to understand the meaning of my smile, so she tilted her head, and then she drew out the armor-piercing sword on her waist and the dagger in her left hand.I say: "Wait a minute. They're chasing us now, so you don't have to stand up." "Didn't you say you would do something for me?" "So I ran to wash my face, didn't I?" "I want to help you too. Is that right?" If it's human, then it should be like this.But what about the elves I don't know.I made a mental note again: "Elves are troublesome" and stood up.The giant beasts stopped suddenly and raised their swords.Kind of scary.Not only can they tolerate the sun, but they are also very big, maybe only a little shorter than me in height, but with wider shoulders than me.What to do now?

"Ah ah--!" what happened?Before I got the answer, Shan Sen just rushed over.He actually charged directly at the nine giant orcmen, what exactly was he thinking?But actually that's not positive.His target is the one on the far right.So what?With a desperate mood, I ran to the left.The giant beasts quickly gathered on both sides.At this time Karl also picked up the longbow and began to shoot arrows. I rushed forward without raising the sword I was carrying.My upper body naturally exposed flaws.The big knife came to my head.Stupid, that's what I want you to do, you're being lied to!

"I don't know a word!" The giant orc's broadsword was bounced away, and due to the reaction force, the giant orc man raised his hands upwards, completely exposing his chest.I turned around again, and the giant sword slashed upwards.Huh? The behemoth jumped back, leaving a space between me.look at this guy!Only then did I discover the weakness of my move caused by spinning in place.This time I lifted my hands up, exposing my chest.At this time, the giant orc man next to him waved the big knife in his hand.Ugh!I am dead! "Reverse!" Ignoring the counter-impact from my arms and waist, I forcefully swung the uppercut giant sword downward.I thought my waist was broken, and finally bounced the big knife to the ground.The giant beast man bent down because of the impact.I do a somersault and I do another chop, splitting the guy's helmet.But I have a feeling that even my waist is splitting.There was something looming in front of him, and the twinkling of Venus.

"Wow, it's really miserable!" I step back for now.But the other guy's big knife didn't give me any time to breathe, and he swung it right away.Does this guy really want to kill me?But speaking of which, I've already killed a behemoth.I took the easiest way I could think of. "Ah ah--!" I lifted my right foot, turned the point of my sword and thrust out.I came up with the name for this trick on the spot.My wit is really incredible. "Stir the wax!" I swirl my sword to strike as I stir the grease when I make a candle.The big knife was blocked, and as soon as I felt that the tip of the rotating sword had touched something, I stepped hard with my right foot and stabbed out.Creak creak, different from when I was ignorant, the feeling of digging into the giant orc's body was transmitted from the sword to my fingertips.I suddenly had goosebumps all over my body.

"Ugh, damn it. Mess up!" I made a giant figure 8 with my arms and started walking backwards.Because the sword spins so fast, it's a great defensive move.The giant orcs didn't dare to approach casually, so I managed to retreat to a distance where I could breathe.But as soon as my arm stopped turning, the big knife came again.Huh?It actually... The big knife fell to the ground feebly, and the giant orc holding the knife had an arrow stuck in his back.It was Carl who shot it. At this time, another little thing ran past my waist. "Your move just now was really cool! Hahaha."

It was the dwarf.He put the tomahawk on his shoulder, lowered his body and rushed forward.Even if he didn't lower his body, he was already short enough, and he really became very short in this way.The two giant orcs stabbed at the same time with their big knives.But the dwarf swung the big ax on his shoulder with unbelievable speed, hitting two big knives at once. Surprisingly, the two big knives were broken.Just then something jumped onto the dwarf's back. "what!" That's Iluli.Iluli ran behind the dwarf, and the moment the dwarf hit the sword, she stepped on the dwarf's back and jumped forward.Then she stabbed the unsuspecting orc at the same time with the swords she held in both hands.Wow, that's a beautiful joint operation.But only Iruri's side has the idea of ​​joint operations.

"Where are you stepping on!" Iluli acted as if she didn't hear, and immediately rushed to the giant orcs next to her.The giant orc stabbed wildly with a big knife, while Iluli turned around and stretched her right foot backwards.Then the armor-piercing sword in her right hand knocked down the broadsword, and turned around.As soon as the behemoth felt Iluli leaning her back against his back with graceful dancing movements, he let out a scream that was almost suffocated. "squeak!" Iluli stabbed her right armpit with the dagger in her left hand, and stabbed the giant orc behind her.Then her body turned in the opposite direction, and after drawing out the dagger in her left hand, she stabbed the giant orc man's back from the left shoulder.Then the giant orc collapsed powerlessly forward.

In this way, I solved two, Carl solved one, and Iluli solved three, so there should be one or two left.Where the hell did those guys go?At some point, Shan Sen had knocked down three guys and was wiping his long sword.The dwarf looked around and murmured: "What's going on? Are you monsters? I haven't even killed one of them." Iluli took out her handkerchief expressionlessly and began to wipe the sword.Just like the Balrog, this action seemed to mean that what he did just now had no effect on her emotions.Couldn't...wouldn't she be excited by the battle?It seemed that she was doing the daily routine of eating and washing her face, without any emotion.Humph.

Maybe she has fought too many times and has become numb.Speaking of which, if I'm already a hundred and twenty years old, even if I only have one call a year, that's more than a hundred times.Compared to her, I was leaning against a tree and suffering from low back pain, which really didn't look cool at all. But so what?I'm just a candlesmith who got OPG by accident. Shan Sen looked at me who was rubbing my waist with a really pitiful expression. "Although you kid can do things that other people can't do, it doesn't mean you won't be in pain. No matter how strong you are, you should still use basic techniques."

"When did I learn how to use a sword?" "Actually, using a sword is not much different from using a fist. Because you are too aware of the sword, thinking of cutting with the edge of the sword, or stabbing with the tip of the sword, you will make strange movements. You When you use your fists, do you turn around twice while hitting? Do you turn your fists around?" "Oh, so what?" "When using a weapon, the weapon is just an extension of the arm. This can also be seen in the spear technique, which is similar to the sword technique. Use common sense to fight!" When I heard Shan Sen's words, I immediately felt very depressed.Am I really so ignorant?But at this moment, I remembered the last trick Iluli used just now. "But Iluli just stabbed from the armpit to the back. Who's fist was punched from the armpit to the back?" "That's something that people who are familiar with the sword itself can do after being proficient in the basics of using a sword. Only after reaching that level can they be able to slash twice, or make moves while rolling like you." Humph.Is that right?Anyway, now my waist seems to be doing better.I quietly moved my back away from the tree and stood up.I looked towards Iluli, and Iluli was rummaging through the backpack, while the dwarf kept mumbling. "What is this! It's ridiculous! I want to fight hard the most, but I didn't kill even one!" Karl smiled and walked over to the dwarf. "Because the situation was urgent just now, I didn't introduce myself to you. My name is Carl." "Isaihand Eindev." "Ah, Mr. Eindev. Thank you for your help." "How can you help! Not even one is killed." Carl smiled awkwardly, to save him from his embarrassment, so we all walked over laughing and introduced ourselves.Iluli, who was rummaging through her backpack just now, still turned a blind eye to us as before. After she found something, she walked away in another direction.Ai Saihande was furious. "Hey! Don't you want to deal with dwarves?" Yi Luli raised her head and looked at Ai Saihande. "what?" "Why didn't you tell me your name, and didn't come to say hello?" "Those people know my name, I thought they would help me say..." The corners of Esaihand's eyes went up. "Why don't you just come and talk to me? Don't you bother talking to me?" "I'm a little busy. My name is Iluli Sherenier." Then Iluli turned around and walked towards the fallen behemoth.Esaihand walked towards Iluli angrily, and we also wanted to know what was going on, so we ran to her to have a look.Iluli took what looked like a small medicine bottle to the giant orcs' mouths and fed them. Once they swallowed it, they let out a long breath.The rescued ones were the guys who were stabbed in the back by Iluli just now, and Iluli also poured some medicine on their backs.Today's surprise is that the wounds on their backs are gone. Isaihand was taken aback and said: "You, what are you doing? Why are you saving them?" "Don't you want to cross the river?" Esaihand opened his mouth wide in surprise.This is true.Because it is a bridge of twelve, four more people are needed to cross the river.So, is Iluli planning to heal the four and ask them to cross the river with us?It was surprisingly calm.Eluli said to me: "Throw their weapons under the cliff. Shan Sen, please help me." I collected the big knife and threw it at the bottom of the cliff.There was a loud noise from below, and then the falling sword was swept away by the rapids and disappeared completely.I walked back and saw that Iluli had cured five giant beastmen.Huh?Why five?The behemoths had already lost their weapons. Shan Sen was standing in front with a long sword, and Esaihand kept saying, "I didn't even kill one of them. Do you want to try it now?" People feel very uncomfortable. Iluli said: "I don't know what happened between you and those humans. But all I want is to cross the river. I just healed you, so you can go over, but if you refuse, it will be troublesome. " How could she speak in such a solemn tone?Almost in the same tone as it was spoken to us.That's not a bad thing, but she's been so cool and calm in her attacks before, and she's speaking just as calmly now, and I do feel that she's a little different from a human being.Does she have no feelings?Or is her expression different from ours? "Then I propose now. Please help us fill up the number of people. If you agree, then I will give your partners who stay here the medicine to treat them." The giant orcs opened their eyes wide. "Squeak! Yes, is it true?" "yes." "Zhizhi, for example, if you go to the opposite side, won't you kill us? Zhizhi!" Yi Luli said without any change in expression: "Anyway, it will do you good if you do what I say. If you won't help us round up the numbers, then I don't need you. I'll hand you over to that dwarf. But if you Cross the river with us, and I will give the rest of your companions healing medicine. You should think about it calmly, and you will know what to do." I think even if they say that, they will not think calmly. "Squeak! But in the past, how can we come back? Squeak! If we can't come back, what's the use of medicine?" "Haven't I already cured five of you? One of them stays. I will leave the medicine to this one first, and I will go there. So that it can heal the other partners." Wow... really defeated by her.Her mind is really bright.Esaihand was overly surprised and stood there with his mouth open from the very beginning.The giant beasts calculated their numbers and nodded. "That's it, chee, all right. There's no other way. chee chee!" Eluli also nodded.Then she said to the Behemoth: "We're friends now!" Uh!Almost passed out.Although only I know the deep meaning of this sentence, the others, the dwarves and even the giant orcs all have expressions of shock.The behemoth looked at Iruri with a speechless expression of disbelief, and then shouted roughly: "Zhizhi! What are you saying! Zhizhi! We have no strength now, so we have no choice but to do what you said, Zhizhi! We will definitely take revenge!" Ellie tilted her head and looked at me.Please...don't look at me like that, okay? "It's different from you, Xiuqi." "……Yes." The four half-orcs, the three of us, and Iluli and Ethelhand all walked to the edge of the cliff.When the twelve people stood side by side, Iluli began to whisper: "As agreed, we gathered twelve people. Please let us cross the river." Both Shan Sen and I stepped forward a little bit, trying to see the whole scene clearly, but we almost fell down.As soon as Iluli finished speaking, the raft that was floating in the air began to slowly move towards us.After a while, the raft quietly reached the edge of the cliff where we were, and I looked at it with scared eyes. Ai Saihande was the first to run up without caring.The raft did not move.After Carl also went up, I carefully stretched out one foot to step on it, and then slowly stepped on the other foot.Won't this thing fall down?But the raft floated in the air without even shaking.In order not to look down as much as possible, I kept staring at the sky.Shan Sen also had a frightened expression and wanted to lead our horses up.The horses wanted to resist for a while, but stopped suddenly, Shan Sen managed to coax the horses to go up. Iluli waited until the four behemoths got on the raft, then handed the medicine bottle to the behemoth who stayed on the other side. "It won't be too much trouble, just feed them and drink in moderation. If the wound is serious, rub a little on the wound, but I have treated the worst ones, so just feed them and drink. .” The giant orc didn't answer, snatched the medicine bottle away, and ran to his fallen companion.Iluli looked at the grids' backpacks for a while, and then boarded the raft. Because Iluli also came up, and as soon as twelve were filled, the raft began to move slowly.I was a little uneasy, so I held on to the railing and looked at the sky.When the raft started to move, even the horses seemed to get excited. "Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!" Although Shan Sen wanted to appease the horses, it seemed that it was not easy. "Hey, hey! Be good, just be quiet for a while!" The raft did not even shake, though the horses stamped on it.But the other passengers were still terribly afraid. Anyway, they just had a feeling that they would definitely overturn.At this moment Iluli walked towards the horses. Yi Luli put her cheek on the face of the horse in the middle, and stroked the faces of the other two horses with her hands, which was equivalent to hugging three horses at once.Then she whispered: "Calm down. Calm down. It's nothing." Amazingly, the horses all became calm.Carl watched the scene with a surprised expression, while Shan Sen looked at her with excessive admiration.Although I was also surprised, but because I was still in fear, I had no intention of saying any words of praise.After watching this scene, I looked down. God, I was scared to death! The cliffs are distant and indistinct.Looking directly down at the rapids flowing between the cliffs, my eyes began to spin.The water waves rolled up and surged up, and then fell indifferently, slapping the cliff.I lifted my eyes up with a scared expression, looking east and west.That's when I saw Iluli. Iluli's black hair fluttered.Is it the wind?Iluli closed her eyes, as if feeling the wind with her cheeks. The wind is blowing. rustle... Leaves began to drift from the trees on the cliffs on either side. Floating up are red maple leaves and yellowed ginkgo leaves.The fallen leaves flew up, like a flock of frightened birds flying at the same time.Then the fallen leaves took advantage of the wind blowing towards the valley, and fell in dancing postures.Wherever you can see in all directions, there are fallen leaves spinning and fluttering. We are like flying in the rain of fallen leaves. Float, fly, spin, fall, and have no fear of falling.When dancing with the wind, what does it matter if you fall or not?I seem to be able to hear the laughter of fallen leaves.Sha la la la la.Sha la la la la. After a while, the last leaf in the sky continued to circle.Only this one piece remained.A moment ago, the leaves were dancing wildly, but now it is performing alone.This fallen leaf is small, but its color is bright red, and it dances under the blue sky.Float, fly, spin, fall, and have no fear of falling. "Aren't you coming down?" Shan Sen patted me on the shoulder, and I finally got off the raft.Ah, I really want to make a song.Not long ago, my fear completely disappeared, and suddenly I wanted to sit again. I helped Shan Sen lead the horse down.Opposite us, those giant beasts who had taken the medicine had already stood up and were staring at us ferociously.I thought they would yell, but unexpectedly, they were very quiet.Ah, is it because there are four giant orc hostages here?In this way, there is one more point of difference between them and other orcs.They seem to care about their companions.What did you say about the fighter behemoth before, hum. The Behemoth who had crossed with us got off the raft and ran a little away from us.Iluli watched the scene quietly, while Esaihand raised the battle ax in front of his face again, and began to touch the edge of the axe. Will the behemoths who have lost their weapons and obeyed our request really come to attack us?I think it's worth observing quietly, but Iluli spoke up. "Then please wait here until other travelers show up, and then go back to join your companions. If you plan to do this, then you should abide by the agreement and not fight?" "Leave it alone! Elf! Squeak!" It is not easy for them to go back and join their partners.Although this bridge of twelve people has a good intention, it is very inconvenient.The intention of the builders seems to be to prevent the various races from fighting despite the inconvenience.At this time, I suddenly had an interesting idea. "Hey! Do you want to meet up with your companions over there? We don't want to leave you guys behind when we set off, ready to attack us at any time." The behemoths looked at me anxiously.I smiled and said: "Do you want me to help you go back?" "You, what do you mean? Squeak!" I didn't answer, and shouted to the opposite cliff: "Hey! Concentrate and continue!" The giant orc couldn't understand what I was saying, and made a suspicious expression.I grabbed the giant orc next to me and lifted it up.The behemoth I lifted above my head began to scream. "You, you, squeak! What are you doing?" "Don't worry. The first one is the hardest. Hey, over there! Pull yourself together! Don't back down!" Then I threw the Behemoth out.But I am not holding the mentality of throwing it away casually, and it has nothing to do with me if it falls.I carefully aimed so that the giant beast man on the opposite side could catch it correctly, and then threw it out.Because the distance is about sixty cubits, I let it throw with its legs forward as close to the horizontal as possible, so that even if the guy on the other side doesn't catch it, its neck will not be broken. Although I threw it lightly like this, the body of the giant beast man is not a small thing.The giant orc who flew over made strange noises, struggled to move around, and then landed exactly where I expected him to land, which is where the other five giant orcs were. As a result, all six guys rolled into a ball.I checked them for damage, but nothing seemed to be wrong. I smiled and looked at the remaining three behemoths.They turned blue with fear and started running around.They should be reassured. "Hey, didn't you see the situation just now? The first one is the most difficult. Later, more and more people will pick you up, and it will be safer." As soon as I said this, the giant beasts began to argue about who should be the last to be thrown over.
Anyway, I managed to throw the last one over too.The last one didn't feel any uneasiness anymore, and it almost flew over happily.Although he asked me to make it head forward so that it could see clearly, but because it was too dangerous, I still made it feet forward and threw it over.In this way, even if the guy on the other side doesn't catch it, it's just a bang on the ground. As I tossed these monsters, people around me watched in tension.They muttered in their mouths: "Uh... that's fine!" "Uh... well lost!" and so on.Iluli also watched with folded hands, and she would breathe a sigh of relief if the Behemoth reached the other side safely.The same goes for the Beastmen. After I threw these guys out, there was a lot of noise until they received their companions.They even smile with joy now.The one that looked like their leader (as I judged it because it was the last to be thrown over) went to the edge of the cliff and said: "No matter what, I still have to say thank you! Squeak!" "I'm happy to be able to help." "I won't chase monsters like you in the future! Squeak! We are warrior behemoths! We won't expect, squeak, to continue to be forgiven by the enemy!" "Really? Then I thank you too. But what about the orc's request to you?" "Those weak guys, chee! If you ask for anything, please! chee! Just refuse!" I shrugged.If it was between people, it would make the other person very upset, but if it was between orcs, how would I know what they think?I waved at them and turned around. Eluli said to me: "It seems that you are simply ignoring the meaning of this bridge. I hope they can cooperate with other races to cross the bridge. In this way, they should learn the meaning of cooperation and reconciliation. Come over, but I think if they can learn these things, it's still a good thing." "Is that right?" Iruri doesn't seem to be blaming me.She just said these words very simply. "But actually, Xiu Qi, you are the one who has the deepest understanding of the meaning of this bridge. The behemoths who fought against us just now will thank you now, even if the builder of this bridge finds that the bridge has become useless, You shouldn't be angry either." "If so, that would be great." "You seem to be friends with those behemoths now." This elf lady seems to be a bit persistent to the unbearable part.Maybe I look like someone who wants to be friends with all races, but I don't understand that stuff at all.I'm just the future candlemaker of Hetante's territory, the knight Niedfa of the noble lady Jemini... Please!How did I finally admit it to myself?I am doomed!Ai Saihande also walked towards me with a very worried expression. "Did you never think that you might miss once?" I smiled and nodded. "Yes. They arrived safely because I missed all four times!" "Hahaha! Thanks to you, I saw something rare today. Thank you. I hope you can be blessed by Caris Newman during your journey." Carliss Newman... It took me a while to remember that Karl had mentioned to me the dwarf's god.But what should be the answer at this time?I glanced at Carl, who finally helped to answer appropriately. "May you grasp the essence of the spark between the anvil and the hammer." Esaihand looked at Carl with a surprised expression, then he laughed and picked up his luggage.He carried a large backpack, put a leather holster on Axe Feng, and put it on his belt.I think he's getting in the way when he walks like this, but he doesn't seem to think much of it himself.Then Iruri started looking at us.Is it her turn to say goodbye to us?But at that time, I found that Shan Sen was showing the expression of "I muster up great courage now". Although Shan Sen was a little hesitant, he still said uprightly (I don't know how he did it, it's just a bit unbelievable): "Where is Miss Iluli going next?" "What is the need?" Hmm, what a weird answer.Although it sounded like "Why do you need to know where I'm going", it seemed that she was very upset from the meaning of the sentence, but in fact she was only asking out of pure curiosity. "Can you come with us?" "Didn't I just say this morning... that there are no horses?" Shan Sen seems to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, he said: "I'll just ride the same Shuki as the horse!" I looked at Shan Sen with a puzzled expression on the spot.What is he saying?What is he going to do with me?Karl also looked at Shan Sen with a smile, while Ai Saihande started to laugh out loud.Shan Sen didn't understand the situation for a while, and then changed his mind and said: "No, I mean, I ride the same horse as Xiu Qi..." "Hahaha!" I laughed so hard I could roll on the floor. Ellie shook her head. "No. Your purpose is to find your king. You should be in a hurry, but I am not in such a hurry. I don't want to cause you trouble." Poor Shan Sen said the wrong thing again this time, so from the moment Iluli said goodbye to Carl until she quietly disappeared into the woods, Shan Sen didn't say a word, just stood there blankly with a blushing face.Unknowingly, Esaihand and I patted each other's shoulders, laughing loudly.Esaihand laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. "Say, say, what did you say to ride you with the horse... Hahahaha!" "Do I have to let the horse run? Hahahahaha!" After Ai Saihande separated from us, he still stopped and smiled after walking a few steps, and stopped and smiled after walking a few steps.Because we were riding horses, we were ahead at once, and Isaihand's hearty laughter came from behind from time to time. Every time at this time, Shan Sen would make an expression that he wished to die. I started talking to Carl.Shan Sen has not yet recovered to the state where he can listen to me. "Carl! What do you think about the Bridge of the Twelve?" "Although the intention is good, I don't really like trying to reconcile the various races through such an inconvenient way." "In order for the various races that are not easy to get along with each other to try to cooperate, it must be necessary to create a situation of last resort? It is very easy for someone with this ability to build an ordinary bridge. But the bridge is built like this on purpose..." "That's right, Brother Niederfa. This road is one that cannot be passed without mutual cooperation. This is a good intention. However, on this bridge, the so-called cooperation has degenerated into nothing more than a means. I think true cooperation should be shown without reason." It took me three times to understand what Carl said. "It's so romanticized." "yes?"
