On the Seven Towers

Elena also dismounted and walked to Luo Ling's side and said: "The Dwarf Kingdom is a very hierarchical place. Different classes tie their beards into different numbers of braids to show their identity. The king has eleven strands of beard, and the great nobles and priests They have nine strands, middle nobles have seven strands, lower nobles have five strands, senior craftsmen, stewards and junior officers have three strands, civilians have one strand. Serfs are not allowed to wear beards if they are far apart in class and cannot intermarry, and even if they are too different, they cannot wear beards. It’s such a lifeless place to talk.”

"No wonder there are rumors that you elves don't like dwarves."

"We don't hate any particular dwarf, we just don't like the way the dwarf kingdom looks. Of course, the human country is not much better. Only you, you give me a different feeling."

"It's different. But it's not enough. There is still a long way to go." Luo Ling said, "These dwarves opposite have no beards and hate the dwarf kingdom. It seems that there are many stories in them. Your story about Farrell has already been Impressed them."

After Farrell finished telling his story, several dwarves came over to pat him on the shoulder, and two dwarves even gave him a strong hug.

Then Farrell brought the leading dwarf to Luo Ling and said: "Sinclair, this is Your Excellency Luo Ling. She is the leader of us. She is a powerful mage and a good mage! He and Another mage named Xiao Chen rescued me from being framed by humans. Well, I mean, although they are also human beings, they are different from the people you know. Those bastards only know how to exploit us dwarves, but Master Luo Ling. Really respects me. Yes, she treats me as an equal!"

"Sinclair is the hunting captain of the valley dwarves. His tribe used to be slaves of the Black Dragon Empire. The most terrifying thing is that these slaves were secretly sold to humans by the dwarf nobles! Those bastards actually exchanged civilians and serfs for food and Weapons. But when the Black Dragon Empire fell, they escaped. They didn't want to return to the kingdom that betrayed them, so they lived in the mountains. Sinclair was still a child at that time, but he remembered those things. The dwarf nobles smuggled them out of the kingdom and gave them to human officials, so he was very nervous when he saw the dwarves with humans. "

"This should have happened two hundred years ago during the Dwarf Kingdom's Throne War, right?" Luo Ling asked.

Sinclair looked surprised, but no matter how bad-tempered the dwarf was, he still needed to be careful in front of the mage. He nodded and saluted Luo Ling: "Yes. Your Excellency Luo Ling, I am two hundred and twenty years old now. It was indeed that time."

"I'm afraid the person who betrayed you was not an ordinary noble, but one of the two princes at that time, or they were all doing this kind of business at that time." Luo Ling guessed.

Sinclair's thick eyebrows knitted together, and he muttered loudly: "It doesn't matter who it is anymore. We don't want to know anything about that kingdom, we just want to stay as far away from that damn place as possible."

"Indeed. It makes no sense to say this now. Then tell me why you want to stop us."

Sinclair said: "Your Excellency Luo Ling, we didn't know there would be a mage in your team, otherwise I would explain it clearly as I am now. For many, many years, no mage has ever come here. Usually there are only a few merchants. team, and some adventurers who entered the mountain. We would have done business with them and accommodated them for the night, but these days... we have had some troubles ourselves, so it is no longer convenient for us to accommodate outsiders. "

"Sinclair, maybe Mr. Luo Ling can help you solve that problem? In our team, in addition to mages, there are alchemists, elf priests and high-level warriors. To be honest, it is difficult for you to find such a comprehensive and comprehensive team. A strong team.”

"Yes. So when I heard Farrell tell me about your power, I wanted to ask for your help." The dwarf spoke without hesitation.

"Please tell me." Luo Ling answered bluntly.

"There is an ancient ruins behind the village where we live. When we moved here, we didn't know it was there. A few years later, the slope of the mountain collapsed due to rain, and the gate of the ruins was revealed. . But that’s okay. Although we can’t open the door to the ruins, it doesn’t affect our lives.

However, in the past few years, strange things have often come out of the ruins through the cracks in the doors. Such things have no bodies and cannot be seen clearly during the day. They are faint light groups at night. They can attach themselves to people or animals and make them Crazy. Once these people or animals are possessed by that ghost, they will go crazy, slashing and biting people everywhere. We can only lock up people and kill animals.

The dwarves in our village are all craftsmen and warriors, and no one understands these strange things. I hope to use your power to figure out what they are and then destroy them. As long as you can solve this problem, we will give you enough compensation. "

"How many people have been affected by these strange things?" Luo Ling asked.

"Over the years, more than a dozen people have been driven crazy. To be honest, if you can't solve this problem, we are afraid we will have to move out of here soon. This phenomenon has become more and more frequent in the past few months. , two went crazy last month.”

"Mr. Sinclair, we can help you solve this problem. The reward we need is also very simple." Luo Ling pointed to Adan behind her who was listening to them carefully. "This young man is the inheritor of this relic. "You just need to let us enter the ruins and take away the contents. I even think that opening the ruins and entering inside is the ultimate solution to your problem."

————————————————————————

With the dwarf's permission, Luo Ling and her group followed the hunting team into the mountain road. There were towering cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, and the road was winding. After walking for about half an hour, their eyes suddenly opened up and they came to a large valley.

The mountain pass where Luo Ling and the others were located was slightly higher, and they could clearly see the scene in the valley. A waterfall fell from the cliff, formed a pool, and then extended a small river to flow through the entire valley. There were clusters of stone houses along the small river. Situated on both sides of the bank, outside the house are farmland, orchards and corrals surrounded by fences. There are many dwarves working in the village, and there are also children playing. Even the well-informed Luo Ling and the discerning Elena have to admit that this is a paradise full of idyllic scenery.

However, the sudden shouting broke the beautiful scenery, and a young dwarf was seen, waving a hammer and rushing out of the house, directly towards several children who were playing not far away.

"Sinclair, look! Another evil spirit has rushed out. Ah! Why is it your son?" a dwarf shouted.

Sinclair roared, "Babick!"

Fiery red fighting energy burst out from his whole body, and he flew towards the village like flying.
