Mysteries

When he was on his way, the dwarf didn't pay much attention to him, so Neia could only lie on the horse's back and think wildly.

The first thing that comes to mind, of course, is the purpose of the dwarf.The dwarf's identity is complicated - a follower of the Dark God, a follower of the Great Prince Gulan, no matter which one, it seems that there is a knife hanging above his head that may fall at any time.Although I have nothing to do with the God of Light, and I don't believe in any gods, but believers are always crazy. Who knows if they will have any rituals of using living people to sacrifice?

As for Gu Lan, it was easier to guess. The dwarf had already used a trick of "striking from east to west" when he forcibly broke into the gate of Ogulin City. Although the move was old, the effect was good.If so many teenagers walked separately, it would be enough to cause headaches for Queen Gu Lan and that younger brother.

Comparing the two, Neia hoped that it was the latter. It might be useful to reveal the identity of Prince Langzan at the critical moment.However, judging by the eccentric attitude of the dwarf, the former seems more likely.

Thinking back carefully, the change in the dwarf's attitude was the same as before and after the coma.

So, what happened while in a coma?

The last scene I saw before I fell into a coma was the dwarf being beaten into the air and the men in black besieging me... Is it related to the flickering black gold lip ring?

Neia rubbed lightly against the horse's belly, but there was nothing there.The elusive black gold lip ring seemed to hide in the space bag again.With a heart move, he took out the lip ring from the interspatial bag, and buckled it between the horse's belly and his palm.

If it is lost, what will happen?

The things obtained from the palace of the dark god are always disturbing.It's fine if nothing happened, so I put it away, and it doesn't take up space anyway, but now it's a hot potato, so weird.

The dwarf riding in front suddenly turned around.

Neia's heart trembled slightly, her palm trembled, and her lip ring slid down her ring finger.The moment he let go, his heart seemed to be chiseled, and he was inexplicably empty and uncomfortable.But he was trapped on the horse's back, and he couldn't scratch it, let alone catch it.

The dwarf slowed down his horse and came to his side, looking him up and down with mung bean-sized eyes.Although his eyes could not be called obscene, they were extremely naked, as if he had stripped a person naked, looking inside and out.

Neia pursed her lips and closed her eyes stubbornly.

A strange laugh escaped the dwarf's throat, and he led the way again.

In the evening, Neia's mood gradually calmed down.It's not your own thing, it's fate to come, and it's doomed to go.

When the sun is completely below the horizon, a small town appears in front of the line of sight.The dwarf planned to stay overnight, so he put Neia off the horse, but did not loosen the ties. Instead, he covered the man from head to toe with a large black cloak, only two legs could walk.He said indifferently: "Be safe, don't bring others into trouble." The seventh-level knights were placed in the entire Dream Continent. It was a small wave that couldn't stir up a storm, but in such a small town, it was enough to run amok.

But when I entered the restaurant of the only hotel in the town, I realized that this unscrupulous conclusion was drawn too early.

Neither Neia nor the dwarf expected that there would be a group of mercenaries including magicians and knights sitting in such a small hotel.They looked dusty, tired, and relaxed, as if they had just completed a big deal.They occupied three tables, just at the entrance, and the two knights closest to the door were as tall and strong as two small hills.

Neia had been tied up for too long, her blood was blocked, and half of her body was numb. She followed the dwarf and stumbled forward. When she entered the door, she tripped over the threshold and rubbed her arm against the hill-like knight.The cloak was half lifted, revealing the ropes on his body.

The knight who was bumped looked up at him in surprise. Before he could speak, the dwarf pulled him to his side with a gloomy face, and they walked towards another corner of the restaurant together.

At the other table in the restaurant was an ordinary old couple in this town who knew the hotel owner well and were chatting with him while eating.This is a small family-style hotel with only one boss and one lady boss. It is meal time now. The lady boss is in the kitchen and the boss is in the dining room. No one outside arranges rooms.If not, the dwarf would not have brought Neia to the restaurant.

The dwarf originally wanted to order dinner to enjoy in the guest room, but when he heard the mercenary group mention Gu Lan, he immediately changed his mind, gave Neia a warning look, and sat down in the corner.

When Neia sat down, she noticed that the knight who had been bumped gave her a glance intentionally or unintentionally, and felt a twitch in her heart, giving rise to a self-made sentimental expectation—maybe the knight noticed her plight and planned to lend a helping hand.

But the knight only looked at it once, and quickly turned his attention back to the topic of his companions.

The companion talked about what happened after Prince Gulan escaped from Ogulin.Several ministers jointly went to the palace to protest the persecution of the eldest prince by the queen and the younger brother to the seriously ill old king, but before they could finish speaking, they were arrested and thrown into prison by the queen who heard the news.From then on, there was no news of the old king in the palace. There was a rumor that the old king had been killed by the queen and his younger brother.This pair of dogs and men completely tore off their hypocritical masks, poured a bucket of dirty water on the eldest prince in a self-deceiving manner, and offered a reward for his capture with great fanfare.Now Gu Lan is filled with negative and tense emotions. On the one hand, she hopes that the eldest prince can escape, and on the other hand, she hopes that this matter will end soon and the country will return to the right track.

A magician suddenly said: "Is there no one paying attention to the second prince?"

"He entered St. Padres School of Magic and will become a magician in the future." A sentence was carried over.

Neia felt a little uncomfortable.He didn't stay in St. Padres for a long time, and he didn't know many people, and Soso was one of them.In my impression, he is well-behaved and obedient, with a little extravagant innocence for a prince. He is a very likable child, but due to some reasons, it is difficult to achieve success in magic. Now something like this happened in the family, called One can't help worrying about the future for him.

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, he laughed at himself again.No matter how difficult Suo Suo encountered, the cousin who cared for him would always stand by his side to shield him from the wind and rain. How could it be his turn to worry about it.

While he was distracted, the topic of the mercenary group had already moved on to the means by which the eldest prince escaped.Countless people who fit the characteristics of the eldest prince were selected in various places in Gulan, making the arresters exhausted. Although the queen offered a huge reward, the person who got the money has not yet appeared.

Neia looked at the dwarf. This trick was obviously from the person in front of him. The dwarf lowered his head and drank the ale.

The innkeeper served the supper.

The dwarf looked at the motionless Neia, only to realize that with his hands bound, he obviously couldn't pick up a knife and fork.He said to himself: "Aren't you hungry? Well, then I'll help you take it back to your room and eat when you're hungry." After speaking, regardless of Neia's expression, he finished eating on his own, picked up the Neia's share went to the room.

Before Neia left, she couldn't help but glance at the knight again.

The knight looked at him too, and smiled at him.

Neia returned to her room still thinking about his smile.For a person who has fallen into a pit, seeing any opportunity to climb up, he will be unable to help himself, even if it is a thread that will break if he pulls it.Of course, he remained calm.He and the other party have never met before, and it is not realistic for them to take action against a seventh-order knight.The mercenary group is not the Holy Knights, if the person sitting there is Kleiss or Gabrad, then he will call for help without hesitation.

The dwarf untied the rope, but tied his legs to the bed leg: "Eat."

Neia lowered her head to eat.

In the middle of the night, Neia heard movement at the door, opened her eyes, and the dwarf who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed disappeared.He stood up on tiptoe, moved to the door, pricked up his ears to hear something, and the door opened.The dwarf walked in, and when he saw him, a cold, cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Neia took half a step back, looked up and saw the knight who was hit.

He stood at the door with guilt in his eyes, nodded quickly, then turned and left.

"Don't look at it." The dwarf said flatly, "I said before, what you do is only hurting others."

Even if she didn't see what happened outside, Neia knew that her faint hope for the mercenary group had also been extinguished.
