You and me under the world tree

He was no longer irritable, and his anger was directly suppressed by the calming magic.

"Calm down now?"

Chapter 37: The Binder with Open Eyes

Lakin is definitely not a good teammate!

Although the NPCs in "Nine Realms" generally have good combat power, weak players can even focus on heroes such as Siegfried and Dietrich when they are raiding dungeons.

Even in the last version, there were many weak chickens who passed the missions and dungeons with the thighs of NPC bosses like Siegmund.

But since there is such a high upper limit, then of course there is a lower limit - Lakin is on this list.

As a dwarf blacksmith, all the spells he knows in the setting serve the purpose of 'casting', and his job is not fighting.

Therefore, among a group of NPCs, his combat effectiveness can only be at the middle and lower levels, and he is stronger than ordinary soldiers who have no face.

However, combat power is not the key point. The important thing is that Lai Jin is quite impulsive now, just like now:

The moment he saw Fafnir, he lost his sanity and rushed towards him desperately.

It can be called the "Nine Realms" version of the train king. If Hodder is a pure kitchen knife fighter, these puppets can only be solved by Siegfried's sword of wrath.

At that time, I don't know what I will get a after a wave of AOE, and things will only become more troublesome after that, and there will be absolutely no improvement.

All in all, if this guy Lakin was not an NPC but a player, he would have been kicked out of the team long ago and would not stay here at all.

However, he is not a player, but a character in this worldview, and for this reason, Hodder can understand him to a certain extent.

Rather, if Lakin can still keep calm at this time, and even allow them to directly attack Fafnir, he will have to doubt his mentality.

"He's my big brother..."

Of course the dwarf at this moment would not know the thoughts in Hodder's heart, he just kept repeating these words.

"I won't admit it wrong, he is my eldest brother."

"I know that there will be no other dwarf warriors here except Fafnir."

"So……"

"But what can you do? Or, what do you want to do?"

Just when Lakin's emotions, which were finally forcibly controlled by magic, were about to lose control again, Hodder's words instantly extinguished all his temper like cold water, and finally only confusion remained in his mind.

Yeah, what can he do?

If you think about it carefully, this is really a question that hits the soul directly, and even this question is still testing his self-esteem.

But Lai Jin's own dignity has long been polished during his wandering life, so in the end, he is no longer angry, but dejected.

"Yes, I didn't think about anything." He covered his head in annoyance

Now there is no need for Hodder to force him to calm down with calming magic, he can force himself to control himself.

"To be honest, I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but I can't stay here."

For a long time, Lai Jin gave the player the impression of being extremely cautious and mean, and this kind of person is rarely emotional.

Even in the plots of other players, the old dwarf at this point in time should have found a place to hide as described in the poem, and the player and Siegfried as the protagonist will face Fafnir together.

But it was different now. In front of Hodder, the dwarf's eyes were red, and the longing for his family, mixed with fear and anxiety almost overflowed from his eyes.

And the last sentence of those thousands of words accumulated in the bottom of my heart is:

"He's my big brother..."

"I know, so we should be more cautious."

The so-called caution refers to Lakin's own behavior. To be honest, his combat power is not high. If he randomly leaves the team like before, it will easily cause various accidents.

In other words, in order to ensure safety, he should stay closer to the two main combat forces, Hodder and Siegfried.

"Let's go, I have something I want to ask him." After adjusting his mood a little, the dwarf walked forward quickly.

The three of them walked forward quickly like this, and they didn't know if they were wary of something. Their footsteps sounded almost the same, and the sound echoing in the underground city was almost only one chorus.

This is a simple trick, because if something else is approaching, the messy footsteps that disrupt this rhythm will quickly give away the other party's position.

But there is nothing like that here. After Hodder used the magic of runes to destroy the puppet guards guarding here, there was no line of defense anymore.

In the words of the player, there are no wild monsters here, and the rest is just Fafnir as the boss.

This journey is not long, because the three of them are consciously speeding up their pace, the palace that once belonged to King Hreidmar is in front of them, and the bound redemption warrior in front of the palace is also getting closer !

However, the closer he got, the more uncomfortable Lai Jin's mood became.

This journey is definitely a torment for him, even if there is nothing here, but his heart and spirit are like being roasted on the stove.

But fortunately, the journey was not too long after all. After a period of silence, the original sound of slightly messy but orderly steps disappeared.

At this moment, they finally arrived at their destination: in front of the dwarven palace.

Here, four thick chains bound the dwarf in the center in front of the door, but at the same time, it also blocked their way forward.

Although theoretically speaking, the gaps in these chains can be bridged, but Hodder and his party obviously have no idea of ​​doing such a thing.

He and Siegfried didn't move forward after taking two steps, but just watched the old dwarf who was returning home slowly move forward.

After all, his speed slowed down, and with every step he took, he could feel himself trembling.

That's right...

The texture of the armor has not changed from a hundred years ago. This is what his eldest brother has been wearing, and there is also the big sword placed beside it.

That was the work he was proud of, and it was his pinnacle work at that time: Balmonk.

At last he came to the bound dwarf warrior, and looked at the helmet that concealed his face, and through the crack in the helmet he looked at his closed eyes.

At last……

"Favrenell..." he began

In fact, only he himself knows that his voice has changed slightly compared to more than a hundred years ago.

Of course, there are vicissitudes of wandering, but more reasons are the changes brought about by the artificial "shell" he sticks to his body.

When such a voice passed, the bound warrior opened his eyes.

"Well……"

The dwarf warrior made his own voice, which looked like weeping or roaring.

Chapter 38: Collision

Of course, the dwarf Fafnir did not die just now, the moment his name was just called out, he woke up.

A pair of eyes were exposed under the ferocious and terrifying battle helmet. They were piercing and radiant, and they were definitely the eyes of a well-hardened warrior.

Then, the dwarf warrior raised his head slightly, and his eyes moved to the front, which was the direction from which the voice came.

To tell the truth, according to the dwarf himself, he has altered his face and even glued on a beard, not to mention his voice.

If only relying on his eyes, Lai Jin looked like a mixed-race ordinary dwarf, who would have thought that he was actually a pure-blooded 'underground race'?

So, facing such a Lai Jin who can be regarded as another person, what will happen to Fafnir who has just awakened?

"Lakin..."

Finally, Fafnir spoke, and he accurately called out his brother's name as soon as he opened his mouth.

Maybe it was because of the blood connection, or maybe it was because of Fafnir's blurred vision, but no matter what, he seemed to recognize Lakin.

At the moment when this name came to his ears, Lai Jin only felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Which means his big brother is still awake...

He thinks so, and even at this moment, he has forgotten about the evil dragon that once slaughtered the entire kingdom, and even forgot that he killed his own father.

The feeling of longing overflowed from his heart, and he hadn't seen each other for nearly a hundred years, but Fafnir was still his big brother!

"Wait a minute, I'll untie it for you..."

He said so, and in fact he was about to do so, but at this moment, his instincts surged with fear.

"Ok?"

Before he could reach out to the chains that bound his eldest brother, he realized that he couldn't even take a step.

Then, at this moment, he understood that this is a biological instinct.

Why can't he take a step? It's like the upper predator in the food chain coercing the lower. As long as he realizes that he has been discovered, he can't move.

However, even though they are all dwarves, even if Fafnir is on the battlefield, he should never be able to directly arouse the instinctive fear that Lakin has as a 'life'.

However, there is only one exception, and that is the frightening black helmet!

"Well……"

There was a whimpering sound from the depths of the armor, but it was not a sound that a dwarf or even any intelligent race could make.

'Kara'

Finally, there was a sound as if something was being strained and about to shatter.

And here, there is only one thing that can make this sound: the chain that bound Fafnir!

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!"

Like a wild beast, he roared, and at this moment, his eyes under the ferocious armor also began to change.

Those were no longer his own eyes, and his whole body showed a kind of upside-down pale gold, which were clearly the eyes of the evil dragon.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Roaring and roaring, various runes emerged from the chains that bound the dwarf warriors at this moment.

These chains are obviously specially made, and with just a glance, Huo De can see the spells formed by these permutations and combinations: soothing, hypnotizing, strengthening.

To put it bluntly, this chain was specially prepared to deal with him, the cursed one. Although he didn't know who locked him here, the chain did play a role of confinement.

However, this reinforced chain of bondage does not seem to be of any use in the face of the cursed dragon famous in modern poetry.

Hodder could already clearly sense the cracks on the long chain, if it continues...

"Favrenell..."

"Back!!" Just as Lai Jin kept calling his name, the sage finally made a move.

He grabbed the dwarf directly, and started to back away in an extremely rough gesture.

"No no no!"

"No nothing! Quiet me! Take a closer look!"

'banging'

In the end, the four chains were completely broken, and high-temperature flames erupted directly from his body.

This group of flames that seemed to symbolize anger blazed up, and it burned along the direction of the four chains, burning the bound chains clean, leaving only the battle armor he was wearing.

He stood there, like a life born from flames and lava!

And on his head, a scarlet blood strip has emerged.

"Don't look at his helmet!" At the moment when the soldiers were waiting solemnly, Lai Jin suddenly shouted loudly, as if he finally woke up from the shock.

"That helm is engraved with spiritual runes that amplify fears that turn a warrior into a coward."

However, even if he said that, it was useless, because Fafnir was a dwarf after all. As a human warrior, if he wanted to fight a dwarf, it was of course necessary to watch his helmet or something!

"So……"

"Relax, 'fear' is nothing to him." Hodder said

Then, he looked at Siegfried beside him. At this moment, the young warrior had already pulled out the holy sword he was carrying.

"Will you be overwhelmed by fear?"

When the young warrior was waiting solemnly, Huo De suddenly asked such a question.

Siegfried shook his head at this.

This is not self-esteem, nor is it arrogance. This is the essence of the offspring of the "Volsunger clan" that he has noticed after traveling for more than a year!
