Angelica tilted her head for a moment and then asked.

"Do you mean there are humans who can speak dwarves?"

"The pronunciation of the ancient version is not much different from the modern dwarf language. They are a very conservative ethnic group with a long life. Their language has not changed much in the past 2,500 years. If you can speak the old version of the language, you can express your meaning in the modern version of the language. At the same time, you are likely to understand it. "

"That ... you said that Alexander Iskandar can also be said to be a god? Who is he?" Angelica never heard of the person's name.

"Alexander Iskandar, he was the founder of the old empire of mankind, known as the conqueror. He established friendship and alliance with the dwarves, and through this alliance, he unified almost all human beings in a short time. And greatly expanded the territory of mankind. His territory includes the entire Marnus Empire, Burtania, Tirya and Istania, probably most of the Great Empire of Gaitan. "

"So big an empire?" Angelica exclaimed. "But I have never heard of him."

"This is because a lot of information about the old empire is missing, and the era of disappearance is too long. In addition to some scholars who like to study history, most people don't care about the old empire." Eisenheim-Schneiderton After a pause, it seemed to say reluctantly. "And after he completed all these feats, he even planned to proclaim himself as a **** in his later years and was preparing to hold the most massive sacrifice for this matter. I am not sure whether this sacrifice was actually held, but many people think it is Disrespect for the gods, especially the priests of the Temple of Marnus, so they secretly blocked some news. "

"Self-proclaimed as a god? How did he die?"

"There are many speculations, most of the priests of the gods think it is because of his disrespect for God, so God punished him and his empire, and the old empire disappeared. As for historians, it is because he After completing all this, he became an alcoholic and arrogant tyrant, so his generals conspired to poison him. I personally think that from the books that recorded his death, it is likely that excessive indulgence and alcohol Poisoning. "

"You said the old empire was destroyed because of him?"

"Yes, at least because of his death. After his death, the old empire still existed for many years, but internal power struggles and other reasons, eventually it disappeared. This is a mystery. It is in Alexander-Is Kandar had existed for at least a few hundred years after his death, and then disappeared in a puff. Before Gaitan established the great empire Gaitan, humans have not appeared in any empire for almost a thousand years. Then with Marnus-Emman Gard established the Marnus Empire. The human society has become the current situation. "

"How do you know all this?" Angelica didn't intend to talk about these guesses, but changed a question.

"I am a scholar and a magician. Like many scholars, I studied in a temple when I was young. In addition, a magician now needs to learn theology and if he does not fall into conflict with witch hunters. Practical knowledge of liturgy. Most temples still do n’t like us. Many times, we need to prove that we are people who fear the gods. "

Angelika still remembers her own people's superstition on magic, and the superstition and hatred brought by magic that many of her followers carried when she was in Brandenburg.

She can see some truth from his words. "Are you a god-fearing person, Eisenheim-Schneider? Or is your soul in danger?"

"I am more religious than you think, Angelica Mogorova. I have been an enemy of evil forces all my life, no matter what the witch hunter thinks."

"You don't need to persuade me, Schneider. I see you fighting the Ratmen."

He came closer and sat opposite her. She must be able to smell the wine he exhaled. "I know, you are thinking about a trip. Go hunting for dragons, are you?"

"No. I'm trying to find a way to go to Kaslov and bring my father's warning to my people. Shazan must know this imminent invasion."

"So, don't you go with the dwarves? And Bai En will go, right?"

"Bai En vowed to accompany Gray Logan and record his death. I will not ask him to break the oath."

Angelica didn't quite understand what was going on in Eisenheim-Schneider's face. In the dim light, it was difficult to tell whether he was surprised, happy, panicked, or a little surprised by all these things. "I thought the two of you were inseparable," he said finally.

"We are bed partners, that's all," Angelica said so, but she knew it was not true, but it was very close to the reality, so she didn't think she was a liar. When these words made Eisenheim-Schneider flinch. Is he jealous or something?

"What's wrong with this?" She asked.

"It's just that, compared with the males of the Marnus Empire, the women of Kaslov seem to be more outspoken in ... emotional issues."

"We are honest."

"There is no doubt. I was just surprised, nothing more. In the Marnus Empire, the lady did not talk about this kind of thing."

Angelica looked at him, then spoke seriously. "However, they do. I spent a lot of time in the Brandenburg court and saw too much of this kind of thing. At least our Kaslev woman is not a hypocrite!"

To her surprise, Eisenheim-Schneider smiled. "Yes. This is true. You have a point about this."

"There is no need to talk to me in a condescending tone."

"I wouldn't do that." His tone changed. "How do you plan to go to Kaslov? Walk?"

"Go on horseback, if we can find a horse in this place."

"How many of you? Do you hire bodyguards?"

"I have Oleg and Standa, I have my own sword ~ ​​lightnovelpub.net ~ Do I need anything else?"

"The road from here to Kaslov is long and difficult and full of danger." He paused for a while, as if thinking of something. "Maybe you can use another sword on the road, in fact not just a sword, but a magician."

"Are you willing to provide services?" Angelica suddenly felt uneasy. She was not sure if she wanted Eisenheim-Schneider to ride with her, even though he was a powerful magician.

"Yes."

"I will think about it."

"You need me," he said confidently. "There are orcs in those mountains, they have a shaman. Only magic can defeat magic."

"I said I would consider it," she said at last, then got up and left. Eisenheim-Schneider bowed to her good night. When she walked to the door, she felt he was still staring at her. He opened his mouth to talk.

"I love you," he said suddenly.

"You are drunk." She said, swaying out of the door. As she did this, she heard him say, "Yes, but that makes no difference."

As she walked through the corridor, she realized that she had made a decision. She will go along with the road leading to the dwarf city of Kengol along with Brian and Grerogan to the turn of the Dnieper River; if they survive the journey, she will go north with Oleg and Standa to Ka Slav.

She felt that the burden on her shoulders had come off. She looked forward to meeting Bai En and sleeping with him in a bed. They have often separated recently, and she feels he should be responsible for it. She will try to make up for something.
