Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

Morasu and his companions lived in a small felt tent. Because they had to store some materials and tools, there were only four people living in it. In addition to Morasu, there were Dylan, Xie Wei's bodyguard, Ensen the dwarf, and McGee the dwarf.

Mr. McKee was a hairy and somewhat sloppy dwarf with a strange temper. No dwarf in Naya Castle was willing to live with him, so he dragged his bedding to the newly built workshop in the castle without saying a word. He worked in the workshop during the day and rested in a corner of the workshop at night.

If Xie Wei had not gone to the workshop to check prop parts and accidentally discovered the bedding piled up in the corner, he would most likely have spent many winter nights in the workshop like this.

If he was lucky, he would just get seriously ill, but if he was unlucky, he might freeze to death in the workshop on a cold night.

The physical fitness of dwarves is stronger than that of ordinary humans, but it is not enough to withstand the winter night in the Tajiyama Snow Plain.

The winter in the Far North Territory is so cold, but McGee never used the firewood in the workshop to keep warm. Instead, he lived in the workshop for almost a month relying on the remaining warmth from the embers of the charcoal fire. After being discovered, he refused to accept the room that Xie Wei had prepared for him.

The reason is that other dwarves all live in one room with several people. If he lives in a single room alone, the others will feel psychologically unbalanced and might follow suit and move into the workshop, also wanting a single room.

After listening to this, Xie Wei felt that it was not necessary, but on the other hand, he felt that what McGee said made sense, and that they really should not be treated specially, so he did not persuade them any further, but he added improving the accommodation conditions for the dwarves to the schedule.

The dwarves' work is very hard. Thrall said that he did not treat them better at the beginning in order to make them behave themselves.

But if they behave well later, their accommodation and food can be improved.

Xie Wei does not interfere with Sal's decisions, nor does he make random suggestions, because Sal always has his reasons for doing something. Xie Wei tends to write down his ideas and then discuss them with Sal.

Before joining the Winter Patrol, McGee lived alone in the workshop. However, after being discovered by Shevi, although he was unwilling to live anywhere else, he accepted the thick bedding that Shevi had people give him, as well as a small stove for heating. This way he could barely get through the winter nights safely, but the comfort was definitely not as good as that of the dwarves living in the dormitory.

Before Rogin led another team of dwarves to the Laidona Mountains to dig a tunnel, he mentioned McGee to Shevi. Rogin obviously didn't like McGee, but he told Shevi that McGee was just a bad-tempered, vicious-mouthed and suspicious person, but he had never done anything bad. Although he was a little old, he had excellent skills in making weapons and various parts. If he had any opinions on the making of magic props, he could try to discuss with him, and he would definitely gain something.

Reaching out and trying the extra switches on the magic props one by one, Xie Wei agreed very much with Luo Jin's words. Although Mr. McKee could not design magic props, he just made the parts according to the drawings. He could know what the magic props on the drawings would be used for after they were completed without seeing the successful assembly. He also gave him a lot of suggestions and ideas.

The new magic prop that McGee made today was designed by Xie Wei on behalf of Rockin. It is an alien version of the mechanical exoskeleton that he intended to give to his brother, Mr. Ensen. Originally, Rockin told Xie Wei to make it when he was free, but this mechanical exoskeleton can be used not only for Mr. Ensen, but also for the partner of Lord Modo, Thrall's adopted brother.

Xie Wei had heard from Sal before that Lord Modo's partner was injured in a red moon and lost sensation and movement below the chest. Therefore, Lord Modo rarely left his tribe. Even if he had to leave the tribe to do something, he would return to his partner within a day.

On the way of winter patrol, they would pass by the tribe where Lord Modo lived. Just as Luo Jin mentioned a magic prop similar to a mechanical exoskeleton, Xie Wei first tried to make one for the legs only. If successful, he would try to make an exoskeleton for the whole body.

This newly made exoskeleton can help Mr. Ensen, who is unable to stand due to his disabled legs, to stand up and walk again. The exoskeleton mode can also be changed according to different buttons to meet the different needs of the user, such as simple movements such as walking, standing, squatting, and standing up.

Luo Jin awkwardly asked Xie Wei to pass it on to him, so after Xie Wei finished it, he gave it directly to Ensen. Ensen was very surprised and touched, and he tried it while crying, expressing incoherently how surprised and happy he was.

Although he was a little clumsy at first, he was already satisfied to be able to stand up.

The height of a dwarf is generally around one meter, so an exoskeleton is relatively easy to make. Although Mr. Enson's legs cannot move, his hands are fine and can provide some assistance.

But Lord Modo's partner cannot move at all below the chest, and it is said that his arms and hands cannot move flexibly.

This is a bit difficult, but it is not completely impossible.

Morasu lay on the table listening to Xie Wei and Mr. McKee chatting, but he could no longer understand what they were saying.

The young man with black curly hair looked up at the lord who was sitting not far away. After observing for a while, he found that the lord didn't understand either. Oh, no, he was not listening at all. Instead, he was staring at His Highness Shiavi. The look in his eyes was exactly the same as the one he had seen when the wolf was hunting.

Morasu moved his small stool and quietly made a place for himself. He now understood why Am had told him not to get too close to His Highness Shiavi in ​​front of the lord.

The lord's possessiveness towards His Highness Shiavi is terrifyingly strong, and it's obvious that he's trying his best to control it, but whether he can control it or not is another matter.

In addition to assembling the mechanical exoskeleton in the afternoon, Xie Wei also drew several temperature-control magic circles and had them delivered to the guards living on the watchtower platform, plus a large box of first-level fire magic crystals. This box of magic crystals was enough for them to use until they left the camp.

Frost said that the Parasau people who lived on the watchtower platform did not sleep at night, and although they did not make any noise, they kept doing a strange dance.

Based on Flos's description of his dancing, Xie Wei guessed that the Parasau warriors living on the platform were too cold to sleep, so they got up and moved their bodies to make themselves less cold, and they were not dancing.

The Paraso people's crystal mine production is actually very abundant, but most of the magic crystals need to be kept for exchanging supplies, so the Paraso people are reluctant to use magic crystals on weekdays.

Xie Wei felt that the guards should not be allowed to get a good rest or get sick or catch a cold during the few days they stayed here, so the magic crystals should be used when necessary.

So after he sent someone to deliver the things over, he added to the schedule the arrangement of temperature-control magic circles in the watchtowers in various places, as well as the redistribution of the magic crystals mined every year.

Xie Wei stayed in Morasu's yurt until the sun went down. In the afternoon, Thrall went out for a few hours. When he came to pick Xie Wei back to their yurt before dinner, Mr. Iriel and his friends had not returned yet. Xie Wei was a little worried, so after dinner, he took Thrall to pick blue mushrooms.

He said he was picking mushrooms, but in fact he was waiting for Irel and the others.

The temperature was low at night, so Sal put a piece of clothing on Xie Wei and put on gloves, a scarf and a hat for him. He was very inflexible. When Sal held him by the knees to reach the blue mushrooms on the rock pillar, Xie Wei was actually a little worried that he would overwhelm Sal, because he now looked like a thick ball of fur.

But his worries were obviously unnecessary. Sal held him as if he were holding a quilt. Not only was he very stable, he could also hold him with one hand and use the other hand to help Shevi get the mushrooms.

Irel and Raymond rode their horses back to the camp. At the stone pillar closest to the camp entrance, they saw Xie Wei, who was sitting on a stone and warming himself by a fire while holding two blue mushrooms. There was also the Lord of the Snowfield, who was roasting potatoes and had a few blue mushrooms piled in a basket beside him.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the Lord of the Snowfield did not even raise his head. Instead, the man who was sitting there like a white hair ball stood up suddenly, holding the mushroom and slowly walked a few steps in their direction.

The black-haired magician looked at the ball moving towards him and without hesitation led his horse to meet it.

"You're not sleeping at night, roasting potatoes here. Don't the people of Paraso have anything to eat?"

Yrel dismounted and reached out to touch Shevi's forehead through his hat. It seemed that he was talking to Shevi, but in fact he was talking to Thrall.

Xie Wei discovered that the black-haired magician didn't like Sal very much, but one was his partner and the other was his current teacher, so he could only coax one and then the other.

He first offered a small blue mushroom, slightly bigger than a palm, which he had picked after searching for a long time, and then took out a soft towel from his pocket to wipe the black-haired magician's face.

Mr. Iriel and Mr. Raymond had no idea what they encountered in the ruins. Compared to usual, the two men looked very embarrassed, with their clothes and faces a little dirty.

Raymond followed Iriel and watched Xie Wei give Iriel mushrooms and tissues. He was a little unhappy when he saw that Iriel still had one in his hand but didn't seem to intend to give it to him.

"Xie Wei, why don't you give me mushrooms and tissues."

Xie Wei: ...

Uh, he forgot.

There were still some tissues left, but he only had this small blue mushroom left.

Seeing Shevi looking at the mushroom in his hand in confusion, Irel seemed to be struggling over whether to give it to Raymond, so he stretched out his hand and waved lightly, took one from the potato that Sal had baked and gave it to Raymond, saying.

"For you, baked potatoes are better than mushrooms. Mushrooms are inedible."

Raymond, who got the potato, immediately forgot what had just happened. He took the potato, took a big bite, and then said to Iriel.

"Yrel, you are so kind to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Iriel casually handed over a treasure that he had found with great effort in the ruins today to Xie Wei.

!!!!!!!eccentric!!!!!!

Raymond looked at his clothes that were burned into tatters by the mechanisms in the ruins, then looked at the potatoes in his hand, and felt that the potatoes were not so fragrant anymore.
