Chapter 130 Chapter Six

"You said it was a grave?" "Yeah. It looks like a grave to me anyway. It's a strange thing." Turner tilted his head and said doubtfully.yes.This is really weird! "This place is very, very far from the human village... Who could have made the tomb? Even adventurers are unlikely to come here. " "That's why I said it's strange! I didn't expect to see a grave in the endless valley. If it's a bone, I can understand it, but how can there be a grave?" I, Turner, and several security members, our scouting team, have already ran to the front of the group to scout. We observed the entrance of the endless valley from a long distance, and found a building that can be seen at a glance. location of the grave.But is this really a tomb?It was so far away that it was impossible to tell what it was.And because it's morning, the fog that hangs around makes it harder to focus.

At this time, another guard member said: "Ah, Turner. Look over there." Turner and I looked away.Immediately, in the thick fog in the valley, there was a human-like thing walking towards this side.Although it was a long distance away, since it was the season when all the trees withered, the shape of this thing could be seen.That being said, it may be due to the dense fog, so it is difficult to distinguish whether it is a human or an orc. Turner said with a tense tone: "How could it be human? What kind of human will there be in the endless valley?" However, after a while, it gave him the opportunity to make an even weirder sound.

"Huh? He wants to worship that tomb? It seems that he is really human!" The human-looking black dot was walking towards the grave with sure steps.His pace is not very fast, it seems that he is walking slowly... "what?" "What's wrong with you, Xiuqi?" "The way this man walks, I always feel very familiar." Turner glanced at me with a confused expression, then looked at the man again, and said, "I also feel very familiar! After he took a step forward with his left foot, he would then step out with his right foot." .He didn't stride twice with his left foot, so you can see that his stride is indeed familiar."

"The next time I'm going to make a joke, I'll start by saying 'From now on, I'm going to tell a joke.' But now I'm not kidding you." "Really? But, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly strange about the way he walks..." "Uh uh uh!" In the next moment, I was standing up suddenly from behind the pile of rocks where we were hiding.The guards were frightened and tried to stop me, but I had already rushed out.Immediately, the milky white mist completely enveloped me. The distance to the tomb shortened in an instant, and the appearance of the person standing in front of the tomb also increased in an instant.And that person's eyes also became bigger in an instant.With an expression of disbelief on his face, he said, "May I ask if you..."

I stopped where I was, with the grave between me and him, and looked at him in amazement.He also looked at me in surprise, and continued: "Excuse me, are you the only person in the world who can call me father?" "Then may I ask your Excellency if you gave birth to a handsome and handsome boy like me, who saved the whole continent... Ah! Why did you hit me?" "Saving the mainland? I think you are saving your father. Just doing this is already a great thing, so don't be sad, son!" "Dad, what you mean is that you should be rescued, right? But, you don't feel any urgent sense of crisis now, don't you know that? I have tried my best to save Dad Bitter, but now I feel like an idiot."

"Oh, I'm even more proud of you! Because, very few people would admit it like that." "Admit what?" "A fool admits he is a fool." "dad!" Just as my father and I had such a touching and bizarre reunion scene, Turner and the rest of the Guardsmen came through the fog and approached us.At this time, my father and I were holding each other's hands, dancing a rare and precious dance that is rare in the world.Seeing our appearance, Turner managed to hold back his smile, and said with difficulty: "You, you, hello, Mr. Niederfa." My father and I, who were conceiving complicated dance steps in front of the grave, separated at this time.

"Oh. You're here too, Turner?" Dad said with a really tasteless attitude.Even if he was dressed in the same clothes as when he left home, like a rag, and his thin face, maybe because he hadn't washed his face, looked sloppy, but it shouldn't be like that . Turner nodded and said, "Yes, yes. We are here to ask Amtat for the stranded captives." "Ah, is it? But why did you bring this guy?" "Huh? Ah, well. To be precise, we came after Xiuqi. Because it was Xiuqi who went outside the territory to raise gems for Amtat, and then brought us here. "

Dad looked at me with a dumbfounding expression on his face.Then all of a sudden, he grabbed my cheeks with both hands and yanked forward.He shook my face from side to side, and then said, "Why did you tell Turner to lie?" "Dad. The idea of ​​'I don't know if those words are true' is so small in your heart that it is not as big as eyeballs!" "It seems to be true!" Dad is indeed very clever.Whose son am I after all?Dad shook his head vigorously and said, "It turns out that the unbelievable guest that Amtat said was you. It's unbelievable."

"what?" Dad sighed, "That's why he picked me. Really. It's unbelievable." "Then please make us feel unbelievable too, Dad." The other guards also lined up around us, waiting for my dad to speak.Dad nodded vigorously and said, "Well, that's how it happened. Amtat sent me to welcome everyone. On the way here, I still wondered why I was chosen? But now I know!" "Is it because of my...?" "It seems so. Because, I can't think of any other reason." God!So, that is to say, Amtat already knew that we were going here, and also knew what kind of people our group was like?This is how the same thing?Is it related to magic?

After a while, a group of people walking behind us also arrived. Dad sighed greatly when he saw our number.As soon as Jemini saw my dad, she ran over and even fell to the ground in the middle of the run.However, despite the pain in her knees, Jemini ran up bouncing while holding one leg. "Oh, my God! Who is this! Aren't you Jamie? Why are you here too?" Dad wiped his hands on his trousers and tried to shake Jamie's hand, but Jamie hugged Dad with tears in her eyes. "Wow, that's great. I'm so glad to see you're safe and sound!" Dad showed some embarrassment and patted Jemini on the shoulder.

"Hehe, yes. Thank you. Has Xiu Qi often caused trouble during this period?" Then after a while, as soon as Jemini let go of Dad, Deacon Hamel immediately ran to Dad. "Mr. Niederfar! It's Mr. Niederfer! That's great. You're alive!" "Yes. Although I was caught as a prisoner..." Dad was held and shaken by Deacon Hamel, and he finally managed to speak.After Deacon Hamel let go of his father, he said with uneasy eyes: "By the way, how is the lord? Is he safe and sound? Could it be that the tomb belongs to the lord..." Deacon Hamel glanced at the grave with uneasy eyes.However, Dad smiled and shook his head, and said: "No. Lord Lord, he is very safe. And Commander Earl Shulizhe is also safe and sound. Well, the life of being caught and locked up by goblins is not very happy, But they didn't torture our bodies." "Ah, how wonderful! How wonderful! Ah... so, what is this tomb? And what are you doing here, Mr. Niederfar?" "This tomb is..." Dad glanced back at the grave.And now that I have a closer look, although this is a small and inconspicuous tomb, there is nothing wrong with it being a tomb.Dad said quietly: "This is the tomb of the dead young dragon soul envoy of the white dragon in Casepple." As soon as Dad finished speaking, he immediately looked at me with surprised eyes.Because, I already made a voice that was almost out of breath, looked at the grave and said: "Dieter...Lüxie, Dietrich Haschtel!" "Huh? How do you know that boy's name?" Dad said with a surprised expression.After I looked down at the grave with a surprised expression, I turned my head away.There, Tae-ban stands impassive.It became increasingly difficult for me to guess Taiban's thoughts.I turned around and said, "Father, if you want to listen to the whole story at once, it will definitely be very hard. But, you said this is... that Dietrich's grave?" "yes." "Then... was that when Amtat and Kasaiplei died in the fight?" Dad shook his head. "No. The boy was captured with us at the time. But he was always very sad, and that's what his sadness became in the end." "Ah. Is it because the dragon died...? So he must have died because he couldn't bear the blow." Dad now looks at me with eyes full of astonishment. "Ah, I'm sorry. You and my son are so much alike that I..." "It's not wrong that I'm Xiu Qi, please stop talking." "What's that thing I put on top of my closet?" "Your suicide note is really well written." "Really? This is really surprising. Although I don't know how you guessed it, but you guessed it right. I heard that if one of the dragon and the dragon soul envoy dies, the other who is still alive One side will be hit hard." A warm look suddenly flashed in Dad's eyes.That's right.This is the same for humans.My father was worried that my father's death would bring me a shock, so he left a suicide note, and this matter can be understood by reading the suicide note. "But how did you know, Dad?" "The Commander told us. He said that if it was a dragon, it would go crazy, and if it was a human, it would die unbearably. So Dietrich couldn't bear the blow for a long time, and died. I and several other people worked together He's buried here." "Ah. I see." Ah, the Commander... is the elder brother of Kamu Shruiz, who is Nex's adoptive father, Earl Rone Shruiz.Oops!I realize now that it never occurred to me how to pass the news of Nex Shuliche's death to his father.How should this be done?Should I just leave it to Carl? At this time, Deacon Hamel, who had been clenching his palms and letting go of them uncomfortably while I was talking to my father, and at the same time suppressed himself, finally said loudly: "But, Mr. Niederfa, may I ask you What are you doing here?" "Huh? Huh? Ah, yes. Hahaha. I received the order from Amtat to welcome you all. I will lead you to the interior of this place." "Going to see Amtat?" My question made Dad laugh out loud.Really.No matter how I look at it, I can't see that he is the one who has been caught as the dragon's captive in the past few months!Even his complexion hasn't changed, and most importantly, I feel that my father is quite relaxed mentally.The way he talked to me with a smile on his face was exactly that. "Son. Even civet cats hide the location of their caves. Do you think dragons will open their caves casually? The place I'm taking you to is where the goblins imprisoned us, not Amtat's lair." "Ah, yes. Then let's go up quickly." The reassuring attitude I felt from Dad had the effect of calming each of us.So our mood is like meeting a happy guide in a dangerous situation, no, it should be said that he is a reliable guide, and we are willing to just follow my dad.hum.Although he was the one who lived with me in the same house for seventeen years, I still found that I saw my father as a kind of legendary guide 'pioneer'.This is really strange.At this time, Jemini suddenly whispered in my ear, which made me jump. "That, Xiuqi?" "Er! Oops, I'm startled. Why?" "Your father, seems a little strange?" Jemini gestured with her chin to Dad, who was talking to someone else.hum.Others who are not his son also feel it, so it can be said that it is really strange, right?With a sense of anticipation, I glanced at Jemini and said, "What's so strange?" "I always thought he looked confident...well. Even though your dad was always like that. Well, but why didn't he tell us to be careful, or say things like 'I'll lead the way, don't you worry'?He acts like it's a safe place.However, this can be said to be the home of Amtat. " I first looked at Jamie with eyes full of surprise, and Jamie tried to kick me, and almost turned up the skirt completely, which made her jump.She said: "What kind of eyes do you have! Ah, ah, oh my god!" Fortunately, Jemini quickly covered the skirt, so the embarrassing incident of exposure did not happen. After I smiled at Jemini a few times, I looked at the back of my father who was walking in front.Suddenly, I felt dizzy. Gissien? Although there are always people in front of me, letting me see his back, but now I can see Ghisien's appearance from Dad's back.Could it be, Dad?impossible.Dad, well, of course he was a big deal to me, but frankly, I've lived with him for seventeen years, and he's not the kind of guy I see greatness in.What's going on here? never mind.Maybe it's just because it's been a while.After shaking my head, I grabbed the bridle of the Thunder Rider and pulled it over. My father saw the Thunder Rider and was very surprised and said, "Oh, this horse is really tall!" I smiled and rode on the Thunderer, and stretched out my hand below. "Please sit behind me." "Could it be... this horse is yours?" "Yes. Someone gave me this horse." Dad shook his head, laughed, and said, "This is unbelievable. I don't know what the hell is going on. Who the hell gave you a horse like that? Looks like I want to hear from you." There should be many stories. Ok.You can tell me slowly later. " Dad sat on the Thunder Rider with a wobbly movement.Then, he immediately said cheerfully: "Okay, let's go up." Dad's vigorous words were like a natural command, guiding the footsteps of the group.Jemini and Taban got into the carriage again, while Deacon Hamel and the guards rode on horses.As soon as the wheels of the wagon turned, the horses and mules began to move.Baba is now Amtat's surrogate and our protector.However, just saying this can explain Dad's weird sense of self-confidence, no, should it be a sense of security?How strange! In the endless valley, there are also things like roads.I think this might be the way goblins or orcs are using it.No matter what, Dad walked up that road with familiar steps.The morning fog has slowly dissipated, so you can clearly see the high valleys extending past on both sides. The Endless Valley looks like someone made a big determination to cut off the gray mountain range, but failed halfway.The gray mountains that stretched across the western woodlands were almost broken when they reached the endless valley, and then they were not broken with great difficulty, and they were joined again on the other side of the valley.Not only that, but the endless valley was sunk deeply below the ground.So the stretching cliffs on the left and right are very high. "Oh! What's the matter?" When I was looking at the cliff, my father's shout suddenly came from behind, which made me startled.Before I could turn my head, my father's rude hand had already grabbed my head. "I mean ears! You boy, how did your ears become like this?" Dad, your eyes are too sharp!You actually sat behind your son and found out about it. I wanted to shake off my father's hand, and replied with difficulty: "It was chopped off while fighting with a half-orc." "What? Orcs?" "Yeah. It's on the adventure of raising gems... Please don't shake it! I'm almost dizzy!" "Oops. Ah, I see. It's unbelievable..." Although my father said so, he still held my head and looked at it for a long time.So I had to tilt my head to the side and look at the view of the endless valley from that position. "While I'm not at home, what did you do?" "To put it simply, in order to raise the gems for Amtat, I wandered around and fought with orcs during my travels." "Is that so? Oh . . . what luck! Only the ear was cut off." "If you shake it a little longer, it could happen." "It might happen?" "It happened that your son fell into the valley." "Ah, well, I see." Dad just let go of my head.But he kept moaning and sighing for a while.Really.I feel like I should change the subject.I looked around and said with admiration: "Wow. It's really high here." "Ah... yeah! It's like a place where a dragon really should live, doesn't it?" "Hmm. Really. But, Dad, you must be having a bad time, right?" After a while, Dad's answer came from behind me. "Having a bad day... Well. I don't know what other people think, but I don't think it's okay to have a bad life. More importantly, because the excitement is more intense, so I don't care about it Had a bad time." "Really? Hmm. Why are you excited?" "Because we're under the dragon's protection, of course. It's a rare experience, isn't it?" I first closed my mouth and thought over what my father said.With a gallant movement the Thunderkeeper walked up the road between the valleys.Although there are traces of rivers flowing down the valley beside the road, the river may have dried up due to winter.I looked at the rocks in the river bed, and some dry maple leaves between the rocks, and then said again, "...Dad. I've been feeling something since just now." "What's the matter? What do you want to say?" "You made Amtat seem to be very familiar. No, it's not so much familiar...that, this. It should be said that your hatred for Amtat has indeed disappeared, right?" "yes?" "yes." "It's a matter of course. You may not know it, but your father was someone who stayed by Long's side." Ouch, Dad.Your son has also spoken to the Dragon King, blocked Kigored's front foot, and even shot a javelin at Klad Meso.I smiled inwardly, and then I said to Dad, "You've been with the dragon...so what?" "It makes me feel that my vengeance is a very empty thing." "what?" Dad was silent again.When I was so anxious that I couldn't help but want to speak again, my father finally said: "Xiu Qi, if I fall off the cliff and die, will you hate the cliff?" "what?" "Hey, if I die in the river because of the flood, don't you want revenge on the flood or the river?" "Uh, probably not." "Yes. I also realized this truth. When I was in Hetante Village, that is to say, when I was far away from Amtat, I hated Amtat and wished I could really beat him to death Ah, Xiu Qi. However, I am increasingly unable to connect your mother's death with Amtat." "Do you think Amtat is like a cliff or a flood?" "It seems to be. Amtat is difficult to apply to the kind of revenge of human beings. Amtat...well. He doesn't seem to have any relationship with me, a human being who loves and hates. It should sound rather strange to you, but I think so. " Suddenly, I wanted to turn my head to see Dad's expression.However, I didn't turn my head, just looked at the road in front of me, lost in thought.Dad's feeling is because of? A simple answer came to my mind. This is because Amtat does not have a Dragon Soul Envoy.It is impossible for Amtat without Dragon Soul Envoy to communicate with humans.If the so-called communication is not simply a conversational meaning, but a metaphysical thing that includes the transmission of emotions, then... the example that Dad said will help explain it.Of course we can't convey emotion to things like cliffs or floods.It is impossible for us to communicate with cliffs or floods. However... not right.This is very strange. Hendrick and the Dragon King, as well as us and Klade Meso, are all fully communicating with each other without the Dragon Soul Envoy. Uh?wrong. I see.For all those dragons have long associated with humans.Therefore, these dragons have many faces of human beings projected on them.However, so far, Amtat has not properly communicated with humans. So... "Gahlelelele!" GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrI almost fell off my horse because of the sudden sound.The sound came from somewhere in the valley, but the echo was so loud that it was impossible to tell where it came from.Behind me came the brief screams of the guardsmen, and at that moment, came Taiban's forceful shout: "Everyone calm down! Hold still." "Gallelele!" There was a strange shout, as if answering Taiban's shout. This time, I can hear the approximate location.It's pretty close!There was no answer to this second shout, and a third shout followed. "Gahlelelele!" The valley was filled with the cry.Turner and a few guards ran forward to me and formed a file.Under Turner's quick command, they all raised their cutting spears to the side, forming a posture ready to charge into the enemy's formation.Lelelele!Lelelele!Turner lowered the cutting spear to the side of the saddle, looked ahead, and said with a frown: "This terrain is really terrible, hateful. But, is this voice a kind of slogan?" "It seems to be. It sounds like it is sending a signal." It was not Turner who answered my speculation, but a voice flying from behind me.Snapped! "Wow! You're amazing. How did you know that?" Without looking back, I asked quickly, "Dad. Now you're making a mistake that all fathers in the world make. It's that you want to understand your child in terms of your past era. You think your son doesn't even Don’t you understand the password?” "If you say that, you are making a mistake that all sons in this world often make. You think you are born smart, and it is impossible for a father to understand his son with outdated thinking. Hahaha. That's right. This is the slogan of the goblins .Wait quietly, don't act rashly." I didn't refute my father's words, but started to observe the cliffs on both sides.Lelelele!Lelelele!Amidst a deafening commotion, the goblins finally appeared. The cliffs on both sides are gray and black, and the rocks are stacked on top of each other.And on this cliff like a gray curtain, gray bodies of goblins have appeared everywhere.Lelelele!Lelelele!Not just one or two.In an instant, more than a hundred goblins emerged from the steep terrain on both sides of the cliff.It's abominable!The places they occupy are too good. The places where the goblins appear are all in the gaps of the high cliffs or on the rocks that look like sails. We who are at the bottom of the valley cannot crawl up the cliffs, let alone attack.Lelelele!Lelelele! Turner tightly closed his lips, and lowered his cutting spear at the same time.He is not a Pegasus, how could he charge over there?He said with a stiff expression: "There is no other way. Send the message to the back. Everyone is on standby. Don't act rashly." "Gahlelelele!" As the shouts echoed throughout the valley, we all showed stiff expressions and stood still.Lelelele!I felt a shudder.Although I wanted to see Jemini's situation, I couldn't turn my head away. Suddenly, the shouting stopped. Is there a signal from somewhere? !My eyes looked around, and when I cast my eyes on the cliff to the left, I saw a spear standing upright as if to pierce the sky.It turned out to be a goblin standing on the top of the left cliff with a spear upright.The terrain there was too high, and it was barely discernible as a goblin.Is that guy a conductor?The goblins yelled so loudly that the valley would collapse, but now they all shut their mouths and stood tall. The goblin standing at the top of the cliff on the left pointed his spear at us. "Hey, hey! Did you bring the gem?" Goblin voices buzzed through the Endless Vale.Turner opened his mouth wide, while I shook my head and said, "Oh? This guy is quite good at talking! Dad?" "Huh? Ah, yes. Maybe Amtat has cast spells. I heard that Amtat knows all kinds of special spells." "Oh, is it? Um...Turner?" Turner nodded, then turned his head back.Deacon Hamel watched lividly from behind at the mass of goblins above the cliff.Turner kept his mouth shut and gestured to Deacon Hamel several times, but Turner gave up.He said: "Master Deacon Hamel?" "Huh? Uh, huh. I see. . . . You do it." "Huh? Yes, I see." Turner handed the cutting spear to the guard standing next to him, and jumped off his horse. Under the watchful eyes of all of us and the crowd of goblins on the cliff, Turner drew his long sword and walked in front of us.Although he drew out his sword, if the above launched an attack, he would surely die.I quietly turned my head to look at Tai Ban.Taiban sat silently in the carriage, and beside him, Jemini leaned against Taiban's ear with a pale face, whispering something.Ok.Jamie might be explaining the situation to Taiban! At this moment, Turner, who stood in front of us, shouted: "Yes! We have brought the gem requested by Amtat. So, let the captive be released!" "Hey, hey, hey! Huh!" The goblin commander yelled strangely and waved the spear he held in his hand.This may be some kind of signal. Suddenly, a few goblins jumped down from the cliffs on both sides. The goblins descended to the bottom of the ravine with swift movements, and then slowly walked towards us with their spears raised. Turner suddenly raised his long sword upwards.what does this mean?Of course, it was impossible for me to know, so I could only stand still, but the other guards reacted quickly.The guards all took a few steps to the left and formed a row behind Turner.Immediately, the goblins who were approaching us stopped. Turner shouted to the above: "What does this mean!" The goblin commander on the cliff shouted in a very angry tone: "Hey, hey! Idiot! Huh, give them the gems!" "Don't engage in such ridiculous tricks. Hand over the captives first, and we can't hand over the gems if we don't see the captives!" "You bastard! Gruff! Kill you all, gag! Then we can get gems too!" "Do you think it's possible? Let me tell you first, if you attack us, Amtat will not even be able to appreciate gems. Then, will Amtat let you go?" Turner really He said such a lie brazenly.Well, although those gems are all on my side, if the goblins start to attack, it will be difficult for me to escape from here, even if I am riding the Thunderkeeper.However, the goblin commander hesitated for a moment, looked down at us, and said, "Hey, hey! You mean, you didn't bring any gems?" "We brought it. But if you kill us, the gem will disappear!" "how so!" Turner was speechless at first.This is the shortcoming of sudden fabricated lies.no solution anymore.I jumped off the horse quickly. "Huh, Xiuqi?" "Papa. You stay on it. Hold on to this. But never move the rein. Something terrible will happen." Pa panicked and grabbed the reins I handed him.After I asked my father not to move, I walked forward.Although Turner turned to look at me, I just smiled at him and walked in front of the guards. In front of my eyes, although it looked like a desolate valley, I could hardly see it. Because all the goblins crowded on the left and right cliffs watched me pass by with fierce expressions, so how could I still look at the surrounding scenery!I stood where the goblins could clearly see me, and yelled, "Hey! See this?" I pointed to a rock in front of me and shouted.The goblins didn't answer, but I shrugged and slowly pulled back my right hand.Then immediately slam that rock. "Gah! Gah! Gah!" Lelelele!Lelelele!The cries of the goblins burst out everywhere in the valley, and immediately there was an echo that sounded like a landslide.Wow, almost deaf.The rock was of course crumbled into pieces, but I tried to look as calm as I could, and patted the dust off my hands.Uh uh.Actually my hand hurts.In order not to let people notice that my face was wrinkled tightly in pain, I wrinkled my face even more, and said darkly. "If you attack us, all those gems will be broken like this..." "Xiu Qi, do you need your hands?" "Ah, Xiu Qi! Hand, hand!" "...it's going to break like this! I'm not kidding. You've all seen rocks broken into pieces..." "This guy! Can you let go of the reins? Damn it, let me ask you, is your hand alright?" "Master Deacon! Deacon Hamel! Where are the bandages, bandages and medicine? Ah?" "...so, like this broken rock, my hand is fine, please don't, the gem will be broken, but my hand is not broken! Ugh! My head is almost split !" In this way, I doubt whether it can still make the goblins feel terrible.Turner may feel pitiful because of the painful appearance of me holding my head, or he may be afraid that the goblins will not understand what I am shouting at all, so he replaced me and shouted: "That's right, If you attack us, all the gems will be destroyed! Will Amtat let you go? There is no way! So, obediently release the captives first! Then we will hand over the gems!" The goblins who had descended to the bottom of the valley began to look up the cliff with panicked movements.Not only that, but all the goblins standing on the cliff were only looking at the goblin above the cliff.The goblin commander seemed really furious. Holding the spear with both hands, he began to jump on the spot while shouting loudly: "Zhieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" The excitement that the goblin commanded immediately infected the other goblins.The other goblins all grimaced and swung their spears furiously.These guys were yelling at us with agitated movements, waving their spears as if they were going to throw them, and even snarling at each other. "Crack, crack, crack, crack!" "Gahlelele! Gahlelele!" In such a scene, if a guy throws a spear too excitedly now, it will definitely trigger all the goblins to attack immediately.Therefore, every strange cry of those goblins makes me feel creepy.I looked back and Jemini was now about to crawl into Taban's robes, causing Taban a panic.Taiban finally pushed Jemini away, and carefully got out of the carriage."It's so noisy around here!" he said. Saying so, Taiban stretched out his stick and walked forward cautiously.I quickly approached Taiban and took his arm. "Thanks." Taiban squinted his blind eyes.I couldn't help but smile, so I laughed.hum.He probably couldn't see my smile.Taiban stopped, let go of my arm, and grabbed the hem of his robe. With slow movements, Taiban pulled the front corner of the robe to the back of his waist and tied it into his belt.Then he rolled the cuffs of his loose robe up to his shoulders.Immediately, the tattoos engraved on both arms were clearly revealed.Taiban shook his arm a few times, and shouted in a loud voice: "Hey, friends with bad complexions." it is good!Now you are going to be very busy.Hahaha.I smiled at the goblins.Don't you know, the person walking in front of you now is Archmage Hendrick.This is something you have never thought about, right? The goblin commander was jumping around on the spot, as if he was about to throw off his arm in a panic, at this moment he suddenly turned his head to stare at Taiban.泰班则是把头转来转去，继续说道：“稍微安静一点吧！如果我讲话时，你们还这么吵，你们会听不到我说的话，不是吗？” 泰班的沉着语气既非命令，也非劝阻，只是淡淡地陈述事实。如果是在人们聚集喧闹的地方，例如那种已经展开激烈讨论的会议议场，或者市场上，或者杰米妮嚎啕大哭的地方，这种语句一定会在说完之后就被静静地掩盖过去。 然而，地精们却变得安静了。 我们一行人惊慌地环视四方的峭壁。令人惊讶地，站在峭壁上的地精们像是停止呼吸似的站着。所以，灰色峭壁上的一大堆地精们，看起来简直就像是无数多的雕像。比起那些地精们，我反而更能感受到猛烈吹袭的溪谷强风是活着的东西。我把刺到眼睛的头发拨上去，又再看了一眼泰班。 Taiban nodded. “谢谢了。你们只要这样安静一下子，我就可以好好说话了。而你们也可以好好听我说。” 泰班面无表情地如此说道。What is going on? “各位，你们不太需要俘虏，不是吗？而且我们来这里就是决心要给宝石的。没有必要互相涨红着脸孔生气。是首先交出来，还是等一下交出来，并不是什么重要的事，不是吗？重要的是，所有事情结束时，你们一定会有宝石，而我们会接到俘虏。那么，你们就可以高高兴兴地把宝石交给阿姆塔特，我们就可以高高兴兴地带家人回故乡了。” “不是这样吗？”我以为泰班会在那番话后面接上这句。然而，泰班并没有这样说。他现在稍微低头，说道：“你们数量比我们还要多很多，而且比我们还要强而有力。也就是说，我们不可能会违背约定的。你们不会随便放过我们的，是吧？ 然而，你们如果违背约定，我们也拿你们没有办法。因为你们实在是太强了。 " "Ah!" 那个地精指挥喊出一声像是鄙夷的大叫声。然而，其他地精们完全都没有动。地精指挥把头往左右摇晃之后，对泰班大喊：“嗄勒勒，吱嗄！嗯，我们比较强，这是事实！吱吱，吱！” “是啊，所以说，你们先放了俘虏们会比较好。我们不能违背约定，所以会遵守约定。可是，你们能够违背约定，但你们还是会遵守约定，请你们做给我们看吧。” “我们！嗄勒，嗄勒嗄勒！会遵守约定。” “这不仅是你们的光荣，而且也有助于提升阿姆塔特的名誉。拜托你们了！” 地精指挥没有回答，而是又再举起长矛，上下晃动了一下。随即，在溪谷底部的那些地精们用快速的动作，又再往左右走上去。我在他们上去的时候，观察是不是有什么路，但是地精们的动作实在是太快了，而且伪装得很好，所以我看不出他们是从什么路上去峭壁的。 虽然如此，但有一件事令我一直搞不懂。其他人虽然不知道，但我很清楚知道，泰班就是亨德列克，也就是魔法第九级的高手，是魔法修炼了三百年以上的大法师。可是泰班却没有歼灭地精，也没有用可怕的魔法来威胁，而是悄然地一面捧他们，一面协商。 这……我真是搞不懂。 因为想得太多，我皱起眉头望了一下泰班的背。然而，就算亨德列克眼睛看得到，也应该不会发现到我在他背后凝望的目光吧。我不要再做傻事了。 地精们一爬上峭壁，地精指挥就一面举着长矛，一面喊：“嗄勒，嗄勒，嗄勒嗄，嗄！” 警备队员们进入完全紧张状态，凝视周围。What will happen? 起初，什么事也没发生。可是突然间，从后面传来了爸爸的声音。 “修奇，注意看右边那颗三角形的大岩石。” 在右边峭壁，有一颗岩石朝向溪谷，巨大地突了出来。正如爸爸所说的，这是一颗越往上就变得越尖的三角形岩石，这颗巨大岩石的高度大约有七八十肘之高。可是，这岩石怎么了！ 从岩石后面开始有人走出来。 "My lord!" 哈梅尔执事立刻像是一只山羊般，在溪谷的乱石上奔跑。透纳赶紧喊道：“执事大人，请快点停下来！随便乱动可能会让地精们激动起来！” 在溪谷奔跑的山羊现在变成刺猬了。Uh uh.哈梅尔执事完全一副刺猬的姿态，整个人蜷缩在岩石上。其实也不能怪他不顾颜面，因为，原本在峭壁上，像石块般僵住的地精们，纷纷开始发出凶恶的声音了。 从岩石后面走出来的人们全都像爸爸一样衣衫褴褛，而且满身污垢，胡须和头发都乱七八糟的。在他们之中，有几个人的头发和胡须留得很长，可以看出其中一个人是领主大人。 领主大人表情高兴地走了过来。一直趴在岩石上的哈梅尔执事只把头稍微抬起，对领主大人说：“啊，领主大人！” “哈梅尔，是哈梅尔吗？谢天谢地，真高兴看到你！可是，你在干什么啊？” "My lord!" 哈梅尔执事像是很受屈辱似的大喊了一声。领主大人一面笑着，一面走近哈梅尔执事，伸出他的手。领主大人扶起哈梅尔执事之后，立刻拥抱他。哈梅尔执事说道：“啊，哈哈哈。因为我太高兴了才会这样。我太高兴了。真的谢天谢地。” 领主大人的白发散乱。所以，服装端整的哈梅尔执事和肮肮脏脏的领主大人真的看起来像是流浪的国王和等待他的忠臣的模样。跟在他后面的其他俘虏们也都笑着走来。 “哎呀！这是谁啊！你不是透纳吗？” “赛罗！你还活着，赛罗！” “是啊，小子。我不会让你妹妹还没嫁就当寡妇的……” "go to hell!" 俘虏们和我们一行人的重逢虽是各式各样都有，但其中能代表所有重逢的，应该算是赛罗和透纳的重逢了。和他们乱七八糟的外表不同的是，俘虏们看起来都很心情轻松。令人意外的是，俘虏们甚至还有心情去讶异我和杰米妮。 “咦？这是谁啊！你是蜡烛匠尼德法先生的儿子……” “是的。我是修奇·尼德法。” “你怎么会来这里啊？咦？这又是谁啊，你不是守林者之女吗？” “杰米妮？你是杰米妮，奇怪，你怎么会来这里啊？” “我来监视修奇的。” “你怕修奇被地精美女勾引？” “这个嘛？这也是有可能的吧？” 在杰米妮这样狡猾地粉碎我的人格的这段时间，我环视了周围。 过了一会儿，我才看到在稍远的地方，有一群人聚集着，中央站着一个高大的男子。 这群人是从首都来的士兵们，还有罗内·修利哲伯爵。他们用温馨的眼神，看着我们村人的重逢场面，并且感受着自己被孤立的位置。而站在他们中间的罗内·修利哲伯爵则是一直看着站在峭壁上的那一大堆地精们。 当俘虏和村里的人还在热闹地高兴着他们的重逢时，我从他们之中走出来，朝罗内伯爵走去。 从首都来的士兵们眼神讶异地看我，但是并没有阻挡我的路。 我闪过他们，朝罗内伯爵走过去。罗内伯爵看到一个头发蓬乱的小鬼走近，轻轻地露出微笑，说道：“你有什么事找我吗，少年？” 我先是观察了一下伯爵的脸孔。我仔细一想，原来这是我第一次这么近看他。我本想看看他和涅克斯相似的地方，但还是作罢，然后低声对他说：“我有话要跟您一个人说。” 罗内伯爵歪着头，疑惑地把耳朵靠过来。周围的士兵们现在都用充满好奇的眼神，不停看着我和罗内伯爵。 我靠近罗内伯爵的耳边，说道：“我从现在开始所说的话，或许听来像是在开玩笑，可是请您安静听我说完。我从首都带话要转告您。” 罗内伯爵的脸突然僵住了。然而，他并没有勃然大怒地叫我不要胡说八道。 “我怕您要我拿出证据，所以跟您说，我知道有关涅克斯·修利哲和您，还有卡穆·修利哲和亚曼达·修利哲夫人的事。我希望您不要惊讶。伯爵您被滞留为俘虏的这段期间，您的儿子涅克斯·修利哲引发了叛乱事件。” “咳嗯！” 罗内伯爵突然咳嗽了一声。他是想要掩饰住惊讶的表情吗？他对周围的士兵们做了一个手势。 “你们都退到一边去。我跟这个少年有重要的话要谈。” 士兵们一言不发，用整齐的动作退到一边去。我瞄了一眼我们一行人，他们还在享受着重逢的喜悦。Great.罗内伯爵虽然外表肮脏，但头发还是有整理，他把头发往后拨，泰然自若地说：“涅克斯呢？” 他很疼爱涅克斯吗？涅克斯说过，伯爵因为对弟弟存有愧疚，所以非常照顾涅克斯。而现在他第一个问的，就是有关涅克斯的事。 我稍微低头，告诉他一个我不愿告诉他的消息。 “他死了。” 罗内·修利哲伯爵的脸突然变得苍白。 “涅克斯·修利哲并不是因为叛乱罪被处刑而死的。说来话长，可是没有时间讲了。简单地说，他为了要叛乱，想和他叔叔的龙缔结龙魂使契约，结果意外被杀害了。” “是……吗？” “现在我要说有关您的事。您不可以回去首都。但是，您能够活命的路只有在首都。您懂我说的话吗？我的意思是，您不可以用您的面貌和您的名字回首都。” 伯爵点了点头。 “不管用什么手段和方法，请您偷偷地进入首都。即使您有好友，也最好不要请他们帮忙。虽然您可能不相信，但在首都可以帮您的只有一个人。请您去找卡尔·贺坦特先生吧。” “卡尔·贺坦特？” “您一定不知道这个名字。可是，您一定要去见他。卡尔·贺坦特先生会告诉您详细的事情经过，并且会帮助您的。请您到大暴风神殿要求高阶祭司协助。那么高阶祭司会帮您引见卡尔·贺坦特先生。或许您听来会觉得无情，但您最好连贺坦特村也不要去。因为这会让事情变得复杂。” 伯爵又再点了点头。我很快地把手伸到上衣里，放到他的手上。 把装有宝石和金币的袋子，从我手上移到他手上，这应该没有人会看出来吧。伯爵用眼睛传送出感谢的意思。 “请您听好。'妮莉亚害怕的是打雷，半兽人害怕的是怪物蜡烛匠。'如果有人问暗号，您这样回答就行了。” 伯爵想笑出来，可是我的表情很严肃。所以他用认真的表情答道：“妮莉亚害怕的是蜡烛匠，怪物害怕的是打雷半兽人？” “……您弄颠倒了。妮莉亚害怕的是打雷，半兽人害怕的是怪物蜡烛匠。” “……暗号怎么不挑简单一点的啊。嗯。我记得了。” “太好了。那么，我要说的话都说完了。” "Thank you." “不客气。很抱歉我没有告诉您好的消息。那么再见……” 我向伯爵低头示意。此时，伯爵很快地说：“可是，你为何要帮我呢？” 我低着头对他说话。因为我不想看到伯爵的眼睛。我说道：“因为我认为修利哲家族的悲剧如今是该结束的时候了。” 我直接挺身，一面看着伯爵的额头，一面说道。当然啦，我还大声说了让周围其他人也听得到的话：“我一直很好奇帮助我们领地的是位什么样的人。谢谢您跟我说这么多。我长大成人之后，也希望当一个像伯爵大人这样优秀的武人。不过，我应该是门儿都没有吧？” 伯爵不自然地笑了出来。可是，他的脸孔很快就僵硬住了。他费力地把笑容挂在僵硬的脸上，说道：“世上有些事是努力也没用的啊。人们不想要的悲剧，总是在它来到枕边时才会发现到它。但是，你应该是不需要我的忠告了。对你而言，你有两条腿可以走出你的道路，对你来说，你有两只手臂可以拿着御敌的剑，还有送仕女的花。战士最需要的东西，你都已经有了。所以，你不用担心。” 我笑着转过身子。 贺坦特领地的居民们还是不在意周围的地精们，一直沉浸于重逢的喜悦。我看了一眼峭壁上的那个地精指挥，但它一动也不动，只是握着长矛站在那里。我突然觉得克顿山的巨人看着路坦尼欧大王时，应该和现在这一幕很像吧。据说，克顿山的巨人是一个曾被乌塔克和查奈尔骗过的愚蠢家伙。然而，当巨人站在克顿山顶低头看路坦尼欧大王，大王看到这巨人时难道一点儿也不发抖吗？在他望着因为被骗而狂怒的巨人时，他不会发抖吗？ 算了，别胡思乱想了。 哈梅尔执事吵闹了一阵子，这时候他才放开领主大人。他拿出手帕，擦拭眼角的眼泪，并且对我做手势。我对他点头之后，看着峭壁上方，说道：“喂！宝石在我这边。我会留在这里，所以，让其他人先离开溪谷！” “嗄勒，嗄！什么意思啊？” “我确定其他人全都安全出去之后，会交出宝石。知道了没？” 不仅是在我附近的罗内伯爵，连领主大人也吓了一大跳。可是，最惊讶的还是爸爸。 “啊，这，这小子！宝石在哪里？！我会留下来交给他们，所以……” “爸爸，您比我还会骑马吗？” "what?" “我比您还会骑马。万一发生事情，我可以很容易脱身。您知道我的意思了吧？” “这小子。但还是不能这样啊，你把宝石交给我……” “请不要这样。我们再拖下去，地精们就要生气了。您就相信儿子一次吧。这是在来这里的路上，我和执事大人、透纳及其他所有人讨论过后，所下的决定。” “没有人比我还要了解我儿子！” “有一个人吧？” "Who is that?" "it's me." “……真是的。” 爸爸好像无话可说了。但他还是不停嘟嚷着。被放出来的俘虏们全都停止喧哗之后，用不安的眼神看我，领主大人则是焦急地问执事大人。 “是真的吗，哈梅尔？有决定要修奇留下吗？” "yes." 哈梅尔执事用泰然的表情点头，随即，领主大人便困惑地歪着头。此时，泰班朝着周围所有方向，说道：“我也会留在这里。所以请不要担心。这里是需要巫师的地方，不是吗？” 随即，周围的人的脸色都比较放心了一些。而且他们之中有几个人甚至还点了点头。可能这些人是认为我是留下来做泰班的助手。makes sense.这样说其实也没错。透纳为了很快镇定住一行人的骚动，喊着：“好！被放出来的人请上马车。大家尽快离开这里吧。修奇会做人质，请不要担心。” 周围的人们好像还是觉得很不安，所以没能很快速地上马车。 我苦笑着，环视他们每个人。当我的眼睛停留在杰米妮身上时，我以为我心脏就快停住了。 因为，杰米妮正在笑着！
