The bonfire was red, crackling, and sparks flying.
That was the first thing I saw when I woke up, with countless double images.
Where is this? Why am I here?
The memories that followed rushed into my mind like a flood, and the sharp pain made me cry out in pain. After a long time, I felt that the double image in front of me was no longer so disgusting.
Snowy mountains, strange bears, Selin...
It's strange that I'm not dead!
My head still hurt, so I subconsciously pressed my hand on my forehead. The bloody pain coming from there made me almost cry.
"Oh...my God..." It took me a long time to recover. At this moment, I realized that I seemed to be staying in a cave. The cold wind was whistling sharply outside the cave, and from time to time, there was the sound of large snowflakes falling to the ground.
I quietly looked around, and my eyes unconsciously stopped on the oily snowshoe rabbit being roasted on the bonfire.
So delicious.
I ran such a long way and ran all day long. At this moment, my hunger instinct finally defeated all the vigilance I should have had. I carefully sat up on my knees and carefully reached for the wooden sticks on the campfire, but Just when I was about to reach it, I suddenly felt a chill in my throat and immediately raised my hands!
"No!" I exclaimed.
Yes, it was a dagger. The tip of the knife was against my throat. The tip was so sharp that I felt a little pain.
"Oh, little miss, do you know what will happen to a thief who attempts to steal and is caught?" The voice coming from behind was very magnetic, with ups and downs, but no emotion could be heard.
The man was pressed tightly behind me, and I had no room to maneuver at all. I could only raise my head as much as possible. However, every time I raised my head upwards, the tip of the dagger would be closer to me. , in the end, I had no way out.
My heart was beating crazily in my chest, "Sorry! I just feel hungry!" I really wanted to use the corner of my eye to see what the person behind looked like, but that person was well hidden, except for his arms. I couldn't even see a hair on his head.
"You are hungry and want to eat my dinner. Then can I roast you and then swallow you?"
"No, you won't!"
"Oh, it's hard to say." As if to confirm his words, the person behind him pressed the dagger tighter to my throat. The dagger was very fast, and I could clearly feel the blade cutting my throat bit by bit. The epidermis slowly sank into the dermis and blood vessels. The burning sting made me scream again and subconsciously twisted my head, but that action only added a burning pain to my neck!
"No!" I immediately stopped moving and never moved again, "You are not a troll!" I tried my best to hold back the fear in my heart and shouted, but my trembling voice betrayed me.
"Um?"
"You're not an ogre either!"
"Then what? Are they the only ones who can eat people?"
"You saved my life and dragged me to a campfire. I can't figure out why a good guy so powerful would want to eat me!"
"Aha! A good person?" The person behind her finally couldn't help laughing. I clearly felt the cold and deadly weapon leaving her skin, steadily, "I have never been a good person, but, I am indeed very good. powerful!"
saved!
I took a deep breath, covered my throat, and turned my head sharply. At that moment, I couldn't help but be stunned. The man in front of me was really short. If I stood up straight, I would be a head taller than him.
However, he is indeed an adult man. He has curly hair, slender eyebrows, and a delicate nose with a hook. His eyes are deep-set and charming, full of teasing. His eyes were pitch black, as bottomless as the night sky. If you ignore his height and the scar under his right eye that reaches the corner of his mouth, he actually fits the word beautiful.
He seemed to be pleased with my look, smiled proudly, and saluted me elegantly.
I came back to my senses immediately and subconsciously glanced at my hand covering my throat. However, there was not a drop of blood flowing from my burning and painful throat. This discovery made me feel that the person in front of me was even more incredible. What kind of terrifying control he had. Power!
"...Were you trying to scare me on purpose just now?!"
"Oh, to be honest, I'm not that boring."
I bit my lip lightly, because I realized that the short man in front of me was not as harmless as he looked. He might be a cold-blooded killer who did whatever he wanted.
When I looked at him, he also looked at me. Then, he squatted next to me and said, "Little miss, you are a noble, right? At least judging from your clothes, you should be." As he said that, he picked with a dagger. He picked up the seasoning and brushed it up and down on the rabbit meat. Suddenly, bright brilliance flew across his fingertips, like a bright flower blooming.
Oh, I'm dazzled.
"Don't lie. In my hometown, if a lie is exposed, your tongue will be cut out." He continued.
"...My father is Joffrey Rubio of Gavin Heights Manor, and I am Messiah Rubio." After a moment of hesitation, I reluctantly answered honestly, "I'm sorry, you are... …a dwarf?”
"How is that possible?" He roared slightly angrily. After thinking for a moment, he showed me his strong biceps. "I am an alpine dwarf. I am taller and stronger than those inferior dwarfs." many!"
I smiled maliciously in my heart, "Sorry, I didn't mean to question you. I've just never seen a dwarf or a dwarf. They don't look the same..."
"I promise, if you question me again, you will immediately question your own life and death."
"Uh...sorry."
There was silence for a while, and I glanced secretly at the person next to me. His shoulders were still exposed, shining brightly in the flames. Somehow, I felt that what I saw was a plump rabbit leg, and I couldn't help but swallow it. Take a sip of saliva.
He noticed my little movement, his beautiful eyes glanced at his shoulder, and then he smiled again, "You must be very hungry." The dwarf cut off the rabbit leg smoothly, and the dagger with the rabbit leg was skewered on it. He turned his hand several times, and then stopped in front of my face. At that moment, he was like a polite gentleman holding a rose, "You make me happy, you deserve this."
"Thank you." After hesitating, I took the hot dagger. At that moment, I suddenly remembered something and almost jumped up from the ground anxiously, "Oh my god! I, I seem to have killed Selin." Forgot! You, you didn’t forget to save him, right?!”
*
The trainee knight lay quietly in the innermost part of the cave, unconscious. Without the cover of his helmet, everyone could clearly see that he was a handsome young man. The bright red scratches on his face did not affect him at all. face. He has platinum blond hair and a strong nose. Unlike the dwarf, who is slightly feminine, the lines on his face are much harder, so even though his body is slender, he looks like a tough guy.
At this moment, his shoulder pads had been untied, and thick bandages were wrapped around his shoulders randomly, stained mottled by the seeping blood.
Oh, he didn't just have the wound on his shoulder, he also had several circles of bandages wrapped around his chest and ribs. The bandages were a little collapsed, and it was obvious that several of his ribs were broken. The pain made him unable to sleep peacefully in a coma, and his thick and long eyelashes could not help but tremble.
The smell of blood is a bit strong.
"Is he okay?" I couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't he wake up yet?"
The dwarf sat lazily by the fire, "If you want to wake him up, I have several ways."
"How to do?"
"Like, break the bridge of his nose."
The corner of my mouth twitched slightly, "Then, let him have a good rest." After thinking about it, I turned around and bowed respectfully to the dwarf, "Anyway, I must thank you, sir. Please be sure to come to my father's manor as a guest and let us entertain you. By the way, may I ask your name?"
The dwarf raised the corners of his mouth and showed a charming smile, "Dean, Dean. Flying Scythe." As he said that, he threw the rabbit meat on the dagger into his mouth, and looked at me with great satisfaction as I was surprised again. Opening his mouth, "Have you heard of me?"
"...Di...Dean. Flying Scythe!" I almost exclaimed, "Of course I have heard of this notorious one." It was obvious that Dean's expression changed, and I immediately changed my mind, "Oh no, famous name!"
It is said that he once slaughtered an Amani troll camp just because one of the trolls inside cursed him, and the others laughed loudly.
It is said that he once filled the back kitchen of Alterac with rotten vines. King Perenos was hungry for a day and overturned the table in anger.
It is said that he once sneaked into a black market auction house and swallowed the black lotus they were preparing to auction under the desperate eyes of all the profiteers.
It is said that he once entered a flaming cemetery and dismembered a legendary lava dog guarding the place!
It is said that he once stole the heart of Princess Tess Greymane and made King Zeon furious.
It is said that after he was kicked out of Gilneas, he spent three days and three nights drunk in a tavern.
His story was full of legends and incredible things, and what was even stranger was that there were different opinions about his appearance, which made her never think that Dean Flying Scythe could be a dwarf! Isn't he supposed to be a tall and handsome human being? !
Thinking of that, I glanced at Dean secretly and began to question whether what I was seeing was real.
"Hey! What kind of look is that? Little Miss?" Dean's face visibly darkened. He dusted off the dust on his wristband and stood up. "You think I'm a fake?" I don't know if it's a psychological effect. , He is obviously very short, but he gives people a feeling of oppression like a mountain.
I couldn't help but take a step back, "No!"
"Your eyes don't lie at all."
"I, I admire you very much!"
"You're lying again." He whispered softly, holding the dagger in his hand, and wiped the dagger on the linen clothes.
As he got closer, the pressure became stronger and stronger.
I stared at him and forgot to breathe.
Is he really going to kill him if he disagrees? !
No, no, no, come up with something quickly? !
"I heard that Dean Flying Scythe loves the hard ale from Thunder Brewery. However, he was expelled from Ironforge and could not enter the tavern. However, there are several barrels in the basement of my house!" I shouted in one breath, " But this is also hearsay, and I’m wondering, is this true?”
For a moment, I felt like my eyes were dazzled. The next second, the dwarf had appeared in front of me. God knows where he got a big stone and kicked it all the way to me. At this moment, he was standing on the big stone. On the stone, she was as tall as her, and her eyes were fixed on hers. I just felt like I was being stared at by a dragon.
"What you said is true? Right?"
Those eyes that were like shooting out sharp swords made me tilt my head back subconsciously, "Yes."
"Hard ale, from Lei Distillery?" His face came closer, and his soft, cold curls touched the tip of my nose.
"Yes! It's all yours!" I took a step back again, and this time I was unlucky enough to step on a stone and sit down on the ground, "Ah!"
"Aha! Little Miss!" Dean's face suddenly became soft and vivid. He stretched out his hand and helped me up from the ground in a gentlemanly manner. "To be honest, if you treat me to a drink, you will find that I am A very good friend."
Are all the legends true? "……It's my pleasure……"
"You'd better stay away from him, miss." At that moment, a low, trembling voice sounded from behind me. Turning around, I found that Knight Selin was actually awake. He tremblingly propped himself up, and his strong jaw was trembling from the pain. However, his green eyes were still shining. At this moment, he was glaring at Dee angrily. Well, all the muscles in his body were tense, "He is very dangerous, and also very cunning."
There was a moment of dead silence in the air, and I had no idea whether Dean would be provoked by these words and change his face again. I stared at Dean's arm. As soon as he made a move, I would run to the corner. But, what should poor Selin do?
I'm a little confused too.
Fortunately, after that moment, Dean smiled coldly.
Snapped
Sparks spiraled up and exploded in mid-air.
"Speaking of cunning, I have to praise you once, little knight," Dean spoke first, "Someone who calls himself a noble knight secretly put a tracking potion in my drink. He is really not dangerous at all. Not sneaky at all.”
"I just want to catch you for stealing the kingdom's treasure!"
"Oh, treasure!" Dean laughed, and the dagger turned out to be a sword flower at his fingertips again. "This dagger is useless in the warehouse, so it might as well shine in my hands."
"This does not become a reason for you to steal! As a person, a man, you should have fundamental rules of action! Abide by the basic moral bottom line!"
"Don't speak so grandly, little knight." Dean slowly walked over and squatted next to Selin, staring into his eyes with sharp eyes for a moment, "Just tell me about you noble knights. Just talk about your boss, does he have a basic code of conduct? Does he abide by the basic moral bottom line? Huh? "
"He is a brave knight!"
"Ah, why did the brave knight send you to track me? You, a fledgling rookie, are chasing me, a long-established killer thief. Ah ha, idiot, do you really think you are so talented that you can fight against me? You still Don’t understand the reason? If I hadn’t admired your perseverance, you would have died ten times in the snowy mountains.”
Selin was stunned.
I interjected curiously, "So, Mr. Selling, why would your boss send you to do this kind of... uh, this kind of almost impossible task?"
"This..." He bit his lip hesitantly.
Dean sneered and echoed loudly, "Yes, tell us why?! Why did you receive this life-threatening mission?!"
Selin frowned, and from his eyes, everyone could tell what he must have thought of. He looked at Dean angrily, and then at Messiah in embarrassment, his face becoming extremely wonderful.
"Okay! Then let me guess," Dean stood up, his magnetic voice was like deafening thunder in Selin's ears, "Did you happen to bump into you when you were going to report a certain time? The boss was at the desk with a strange woman..."
"Stop talking!" Selin yelled with a red face, "Holy Light! Don't say such things in front of girls!" As he said, his face suddenly changed, he huddled in pain, and started shaking violently.
It was obvious that his yelling had torn the wound on his body. Immediately, bright red blood spurted out from the wound on his shoulder, instantly staining the bandage red.
"Oh my God! Selin!"
