Romantic agreed wholeheartedly: "Because there's a Beastman proverb, called 'Uim Auss Nemont!' She stamred as she recited the phrase: "It ans, a clever hunter isn't necessarily wise!"
"That's just the cunning of a beast." The old dwarf imdiately shook his head, "No, who taught you this phrase?"
"It was Aunt Lord."
"No, no!" Audem felt like he was getting tangled up: "What I an is, these two things don't match up! We're talking about how a person shouldn't be too reckless, which has nothing to do with whether Beastn are smart or not—" But then he stroked his beard and suddenly frowned: "Wait, what did you just say? The mine had an earthquake?"
"Yes."
"How co I didn't know?"
Romantic looked at him with big eyes.
The old dwarf soon realized he had asked a silly question. However, if the earthquake happened an hour ago, he realized he was likely still napping then.
In fact, Audem should have been in the mine at that ti, but last ti he had missed going into the mine because of drinking—a situation that was not the first ti—yet the old dwarf had once helped the clerk of the mining area solve a small personal problem, earning the trust of that young noble. As for whether he needed to go to the mining area, the other party didn't care.
Having one more or less person in the mining area made no significant difference.
Therefore, Audem simply didn't bother to go. Spending his leisure ti having drinks at the 'Forest Trout' was his idea of a dwarf's pursuit.
However, the words of this girl sparked Audem's interest. The old dwarf always knew there was a secret buried under that silver mine. After learning about this secret from sowhere, he ca all the way here waiting for an opportunity.
But to his great disappointnt, ever since the workers of Shafren Mine broke through the underground passage leading to the Big Beehive over ten years ago, causing that accident, the mine tunnel had not extended downward anymore. Everyone who knew the secret buried beneath the Glahar Mountain layers could only keep it hidden.
Although the old dwarf had indirected Ogins more than once about reopening the work on the fifth level, it was postponed due to safety concerns. The young clerk wasn't worried about the workers' safety, he simply didn't want to bring trouble upon himself.
Over the years, after spending a few years in Shafelund, Audem had gradually beco disheartened.
But at this mont, his heart stirred once more.
The old dwarf mumbled to himself as he glanced at the girl: "Alright, alright, I'll take you to the mine, but let's get sothing clear first—"
"I understand!" Little Roman answered crisply without any hesitation.
"But I haven't finished talking!"
"Yes! But no matter what you say, I will respond this way! So it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later!"
"At least you're honest..." The old dwarf sighed, "But you're quite likable."
Seeing Roman, Audem couldn't help but rember the energetic little girls from his holand. He grew up in the Golden Dwarfs' settlent—although the holand was far less novel and ever-changing compared to the human world, and without the advanced brewing techniques—compared to him, he thought his dwarf girls were much more vibrant than human girls.
This girl brightened his eyes, though she was incredibly troubleso, but also quite charming.
Of course, as likable as she was, the old dwarf instinctively recognized that if he let this rchant girl do as she pleased, she would probably get him into a lot of trouble.
So, as they walked, he said: "In any case, setting so rules is very important, young girl, do you understand?"
Little Roman nodded respectfully but imdiately had a new question: "Isn't it said that won can't enter the mine?"
"Don't interrupt, young girl!" Audem frowned. He certainly couldn't take Roman in openly, and even he himself couldn't enter the mining area at that ti, but it didn't matter, since he had prepared for this plan for a long ti, the advance arrangents could now co in handy.
He had dug a hidden tunnel on the outskirts of the mining area, which led into the mining area, and he was the overseer of the mining area, so even if he was encountered inside, no one would suspect anything.
As for this girl, it was just a matter of disguising her a little.
"Yes," the rchant girl followed while chasing after him: "But elder, are all mountain dwarfs reckless? Are you a mountain dwarf?"
"Of course, I'm not a mountain dwarf, those reckless guys have nothing to do with , I am..." The short and stout dwarf suddenly stopped and coughed heavily:
"Don't interrupt!"
"Oh!"
...
The underground fight had co to an end. By the ti the last rock beast turned into shards, Brand found so miners' bodies in the tunnel. Through that man's identification—these were the remains of his forr companions.
The miner whom Brand had rescued had resolved to follow them after witnessing the young man's displayed strength. Even when Brand suggested he temporarily hide in the relatively safer third level of the mine to wait for rescue, the latter shook his head after consideration and refused.
He felt that following these two people was clearly much safer.
