Act 56 The King of the Underground (7)
Odum spent a lot of effort to catch the little girl hanging in the air, even though the short, fat old dwarf had a stern face and a pair of thick eyebrows that were almost wrinkled. Tuan'er - kept mumbling verbally that the other party was too bold to do this, completely regardless of the danger, and how much trouble and trouble it caused to him, an old man.
But at the end, the old dwarf still said something from under his beard: "Little guy, you're not hurt anywhere, are you?"
"ah!"
Coming down from mid-air, little Roman patted his small chest first, let out a big sigh of relief, and said happily:
"It's really thrilling——!"
It's just that the thrilling look may not be visible on her face. Instead, her little face is flushed and she has an expression of excitement.
Oldham glanced at her and thought, you know this is extremely dangerous. However, his next words were choked to death, and the business lady said enthusiastically: "It's so interesting!"
The old dwarf's expression became serious as soon as he heard this, and he educated him seriously: "Little girl, it's not good for you to think like this. It's too dangerous! If I hadn't come over, wouldn't you have been injured?"
"Old man, you're here." Roman replied matter-of-factly.
Oldham scratched his head, thinking that this statement might not be right. So he said calmly: "That's just in case. What's more, isn't it just in case? Besides, little girl, what you did has caused a lot of trouble to an old man like me. Not to mention that it has delayed my old man. Drinking time——"
"My aunt said that drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health!" the business lady interjected at every opportunity.
The old dwarf suddenly felt that his head was getting bigger. Why was this little guy thinking in such a different way from ordinary people? He began to doubt whether it was a wise decision to save this little girl from above - maybe at the time He should just pretend he didn't see anything and drink his own wine.
No, maybe I shouldn't have raised my head at all.
So Odum became a little annoyed, and he quickly waved his hand: "This is not the issue we are discussing now. Besides, what kind of dwarf can we call a dwarf if he doesn't drink? Your aunt, little guy..." The old dwarf thought for a moment and felt that he was saying something behind his back. It's not fair enough to speak ill of someone, not to mention the other person is a woman.
So he changed his words and said: "In short, it's one thing and another. Look, a normal person wouldn't grab the sheets and swing around in the alley behind the hotel if he had nothing to do, right?" The old dwarf Chun Chun taught,
However, subconsciously, he always felt that there was something wrong with what he said.
But he thought about it carefully and couldn't find what the problem was. He had to shake his head and throw away this strange thought. He just subconsciously thought that the good time of drinking in the afternoon seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
Because the little girl chirped again.
But Odum didn't realize that he had been transferred to the other party's way of thinking, so the business lady would use her rich experience to defeat the old dwarf.
Roman thought for a while and nodded: "That's right," but she wrinkled her pretty eyebrows: "But Roman was forced to have no choice but to go to the mine too!"
The old dwarf was stunned.
"What are you doing in the mine?" he said. "Women are not allowed in the mine."
"Because the person Roman likes is in the mine. There was an earthquake in the mine. Roman was very anxious." The business girl looked at the dwarf and suddenly blinked: "By the way! Old man, can you take Roman to the mine?"
"You don't know the road?" Oldham's little eyes widened.
"It seems so." She seemed to have never realized that this was a serious problem.
It was obvious that this young lady once again made the mistake of acting first and then considering the plan. Before she was ready to do this, she had already completely forgotten all the embarrassing things she had done when she was a child.
There is a saying that a person cannot make the same mistake twice in his life, but our business lady is obviously capable of making various tricks on two identical mistakes.
But this time Oldham laughed - of course it was better to say that the old dwarf was laughing. He laughed so hard that he fell over, laughing and murmuring: "How funny, how funny! This is the first time I have heard of such a reckless plan of action, even for the most reckless mountain dwarf. So, little girl! Even a clumsy orc needs to plan carefully before going on a hunt!"
Roman agreed: "Because the orcs have a proverb called 'Uim Auss Nemont!'" She stuttered out the sentence: "This sentence means that a shrewd hunter is not necessarily smart!"
"That's just the cunning of wild beasts." The old dwarf immediately shook his head: "No, who taught you this sentence."
"It's my aunt."
"No, no!" Oldham felt that he had been involved: "I mean, these two things are completely incompatible! We are saying that a person cannot be too reckless, and it has nothing to do with whether orcs are smart or not - —" But he touched his beard and suddenly frowned: "Wait, what did you just say, there was an earthquake in the mine?"
"Yes."
"I do not know how?"
Roman looked at him with big eyes.
The old dwarf immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question, but if the earthquake had happened an hour ago, he realized that he seemed to be taking a lunch break at that time.
In fact, Oldham should have been in the mine at this moment, but last time he drank and missed the time to enter the mine - in fact, this is not the first time - but the old dwarf once helped the secretary of the mining area solve the problem. A little personal trouble won the young noble's trust. As for whether he was going to work in the mining area - the other party didn't care.
There is no big problem if there is one more person and one less person in the mining area.
Therefore, Odum was simply too lazy to go. It was his pursuit as a dwarf to come to the Trout in the Forest to have a drink in his spare time.
However, what the little girl said aroused Odum's interest. The old dwarf had always known a secret buried under the silver mine. After he learned the secret from somewhere, he came all the way here to wait for the opportunity.
However, what disappointed him was that since the workers of the Schafflund Mine dug through the passage leading to the large beehive under the mine more than ten years ago, causing the accident, the mine passage has no longer extended downwards. Knowing well the secrets buried under the rock formations of Mount Grahar, he could only stay there quietly.
Although the old dwarf asked Okins on more than one occasion whether the mining work on the fifth floor could be restarted, it was shelved due to safety concerns. The young clerk was not worried about the safety of the workers, but simply did not want to do anything for himself. Just causing trouble.
However, as time went by, a few years after arriving in Schavlund, Oldham had become increasingly disillusioned.
But at this time, something faintly moved in his heart.
The old dwarf muttered in his heart and glanced at the little girl: "Okay, okay, I will take you to the mine, but I have agreed beforehand -"
"I understand!" Little Roman replied in a very straightforward tone, without any sloppiness.
"But I'm not done yet!"
"Yeah! But anyway, old man, I will answer whatever you say! So it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later!"
"You can be honest..." The old dwarf sighed: "But it's quite likable."
Seeing Roman, Oldham couldn't help but think of the energetic little girls in his hometown. When he was young, he grew up in the tribe of golden dwarves - although compared to his hometown, it was far less novel and varied than humans, and They don't have such superb wine-making skills - but in his opinion, their dwarf girl is much more energetic than the human girl.
On the contrary, this little girl made his eyes light up. Although he had a terrible headache, she was very satisfied with his appetite.
Of course, it's all about appetite, but the old dwarf has instinctively realized that if the business lady lets her temper run wild, she is likely to cause a lot of trouble for him.
So he said as he walked: "In short, the three chapters of the agreement are very important. Little girl, do you understand?"
Little Roman nodded respectfully, but immediately had a new question: "But doesn't it mean that women can't enter the mines?"
"Don't interrupt, little girl!" Oldham frowned. Of course he couldn't bring Roman in openly. In fact, even he couldn't enter the mining area at this time, but it didn't matter. He had been preparing for this plan for a long time. , some prior arrangements can now be put to use.
He dug a secret tunnel outside the mining area, which can lead to the mining area. Since he is the supervisor of the mining area, he will not suspect anything if he is encountered by others inside.
As for this little girl, there is a little trouble, but it is just about putting on makeup.
"Yes," the merchant lady followed up and asked, "But, old man, are mountain dwarves all reckless? Are you also a mountain dwarf, old man?"
"Of course I am not a mountain dwarf. Those reckless guys have nothing to do with me. I am..." The short and fat dwarf suddenly stopped and coughed heavily:
"Don't interrupt!"
"oh!"
…
The underground battle has come to an end. When the last rock beast turned into fragments, Brando found the bodies of some miners protruding from the mine tunnel. After the man identified them - these were the remains of his former companions. .
Since the miner who was rescued by Brando saw the strength displayed by the young people, he was determined to follow them all the way. Even though Brando persuaded him to temporarily hide in the relatively safer third floor of the mine tunnel to wait for rescue, but After thinking about it, the latter shook his head and refused.
He felt that it was obviously much safer to follow these two people.
