Bai En froze. He dared not blink his eyes, let alone breathe. He had no doubt that the people hiding in the shadows were serious, and he did not want to see his body covered with arrows of crossbows.

"Are you a dwarf?" Warwick asked, and Bane thought it was more curious than intuitive.

"Yes, we are. The question is: what are you"

A dwarf with broad shoulders appeared in front of them. He was wearing leather armor, and huge metal shoulders protected his upper body. A winged helmet and face shield covered his face. He carried a crossbow on his shoulder. A heavy warhammer hung on his belt.

He took off his helmet and looked at them. Bai En saw his face covered with wrinkles and his eyes shone with excitement. His beard was long and black, covered with silver wire. There was an unnatural thinness on his face, something that Bai En had never seen on a dwarf before.

He walked around the four of them and looked at them carelessly, which was an insult. Bane can see that the tempers of Guerrerogan and Snowy can hardly be controlled, and if they do not act quickly, there will be brutal violence.

"The two of you look like oath-takers," the new dwarf said, pinching his chin. "One of you looks like the Mahal family. On the other hand, this human must die."

Before Bai En realized that the dwarf was referring to him, the new dwarf had untied his crossbow and aimed it at his chest. Bai En found himself staring at a gleaming crossbow arrow.

Like slow motion, he saw the stranger's finger start pulling the trigger. He knew he could not let himself flash to the side in time, but his muscles were tight, waiting for his chance to try, and he expected that the armor on him might protect him to a certain extent.

"Wait a minute." Grerogan said softly, but there was a command tone in his voice, so that the new dwarf was stunned. "If you hurt that human, you will definitely die."

Another dwarf made a harsh laugh. "These words are brave for someone who has no position to support them. Tell me why I let him go"

"Because he is a dwarf friend, an oathkeeper, a recorder, a recaller, if you kill him, your name will always remain in shame, as a fool and coward is recorded in the book of resentment on."

"Why do you talk about this great book"

"I am Guerrerogen, son of Sol Ryan, if you are against me in this matter, I will put you to death."

Grey Logan's voice has a certain affirmation with cold conviction, which makes people feel incredible. Guerrerogan added something in the dwarf language in this sentence, making the new dwarf's face flushed and his eyes widened.

"You speak an ancient language," he said.

Bai En heard a shocking whisper in the hall, and suddenly realized that there were many other dwarves watching them.

It is incredible that such a large force could pass through the tunnel so quietly. He ventured to look around, and found dozens of thin, tired dwarves coming out of the darkness. All of them pointed at the four people with arms and seemed to be ready to use them. He can see that their suits are exactly the same, like something that has been patched and reused many times.

Then, there was a brief and fierce debate between Grerogan and the new dwarves. Bai En looked at Warwick. "What are they talking about"

"These dwarves think we are spies of evil gods. They want to kill us. Grey Logan told them that we are from outside and we can help them. Some of them didn't believe it, saying it was a hoax. Their leader said He cannot take the risk of killing us, because this is his father, the king ’s own business, and only the king can make a decision. "

For Bai En, this is obviously a fierce debate, and this seems to be a simple summary of this debate. Both sides are getting louder. The people around were cursing harshly. Both Guerrerogan and the dwarf leader spit on the ground in front of each other's feet.

He knew his life was at stake, and he could neither say nor do anything to influence this decision, which was a strange feeling. He remembered the scene on the airship during the storm. Now all he can do is remind himself that they have passed that difficulty, and they may be able to overcome it.

Warwick continued muttering to himself: "We speak ancient language. This is the only fact that prevents them from killing us out of control. They do not want to believe that any follower of evil gods can learn it. Of course No dwarf can teach them. "

Bai En responded: "It's very reassuring to know the news."

The debate is over. The dwarf leader turned around and spoke to Bane in a heavy accent.

"I don't know if the story of this spaceship and other miracles is true. I only know that this matter is too serious for me to decide. Your destiny is in the hands of the king, and he will judge you."

"I still think this is a trick, Hagrim." Another dwarf said that he was an old and poor guy with deep eyes and gray beard. "We know that the outside world is ruled by evil gods. There are no other dwarf strongholds. We should kill these intruders, not lead them into our territory."

"Torvald, you have said that, but my decision has been effective until the king overthrows it personally. If the world is not ravaged by the power of evil gods, this is indeed a major news. Maybe we are not the last dwarf . "

"Yeah, Hagrim, maybe we are just fools fooled by the dark forces. But as you said, you are our captain and you are responsible. If these outsiders prove to be fake, we will soon There will be enough time to kill them.

"The king will know." Hagrim said. "Come on! Let's go. We have wasted enough time. If 'terror' comes, I don't want to be trapped in these halls. Tied them up and took their weapons."

A group of dwarves broke free from the crowd and walked towards them. As they did so, Guerrerogan took a threatening step forward.

"You can only take this axe away from my cold hands." He said softly, with a threatening tone in his voice, the dwarves were shocked.

"This can be arranged, stranger." Hagrim said equally calmly. Grerogan raised his axe, and the rune on the blade flashed in the dim light. The recent dwarves gasped.

"He holds that powerful weapon!" Torvald gasped, his voice full of fear and surprise. "This is the prophecy. Those are the greatest runes. 'Fear' is back, and the axe of our ancestors is back ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The last days are coming."

A shocked expression flashed across Hagrim's face again, and he walked towards Grerogan, his eyes fixed on the edge of the axe. When he meditated on these runes, his eyes showed a surprised look.

"Where did you get this weapon?" The dwarf captain asked, and then added something in the back of the dwarf language.

"I found it in a cave in a wilderness eroded by evil forces many years ago." Guerrerogen seemed to be considering whether to say a few more words, and later changed his mind.

"If you are really a dwarf, then you will be favored by the ancestral gods." Hagrim said. "Because that is a powerful weapon."

Grerogen grinned evilly, and gestured a gesture on his forehead meaningfully. "Even if the gods favored me, they showed no great signs," he said coldly.

"Anyway, this weapon does not fall into the hands of anyone by accident. You can keep the weapon for the time being and wait for the king to make another statement."

Hagrim stared at Grey Rogan for a long time, then a smile flickered across the corner of his mouth. "Like Torvald said, Grey Logan, son of Sol Ryan. Maybe your arrival is foreshadowing. The king and his priests must know."

He turned to his troops. "Come on. We still have a long way to go. We don't want to be discovered when‘ terror ’envelopes the underground hall.”

He looked back at them. "Come with us," he said. The four people of Bai En seated behind him and went into the darkness together.
