She looked at Audem with an interesting gaze - what now?
But the old dwarf didn't have ti to respond to Miss rchant's question. When he heard the other party was about to fire, he imdiately stood up from the bushes, nervously raised his hands, and shouted, "Captain Madel! It's , don't shoot!"
The rider holding up the handgun was startled for a mont but quickly relaxed. "Audem, it's you, you old guy. You sneaked in again. But it's just as well - Lord Ogins is looking for you," he glanced at Romantic and asked with so suspicion, "Who is that?"
"...A relative of mine." The old dwarf, thick-skinned as he was, couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed at this mont. He hadn't expected to run into these guys: "Why is Ogins looking for ?"
"Relative?" The cavalryn imdiately showed an 'we get it' expression on their faces and started laughing, "Didn't expect you, old guy, to have an illegitimate daughter outside," but the lead knight quickly interrupted them, replying, "There's been a big trouble at the mining area, and Lord Kulan also went in. Of course, Lord Ogins needs your help—"
The riders clearly did not show much respect when ntioning the clerk.
Audem snorted from his nose. The Golden Dwarves and the High Mountain Dwarves are the best miners in this world (of course, besides the residents of the Underground World). Having grown up among the Golden Dwarves and having deep roots with the High Mountain Dwarves, he quickly gained a thorough understanding of the Shafren Mine.
His original intention was to better implent his plan, but unexpectedly, his fa quickly spread to that foppish clerk – which, instead, helped him a lot and secured him a pretty good position in the mining area.
The convenience brought by this position goes without saying, and it's apparent that Audem still enjoyed this convenience.
"What's the situation at the mining area?"
"It seems soone dug through the lower layers again, and monsters ca out, injuring people. But thank Martha, it wasn't my turn on duty in the mining area today," the cavalry captain said, clearly relieved and without military awareness. "As you saw later, there was an earthquake again. It's a total ss inside."
Soone digging through the lower layers again made the old dwarf's heart skip a beat, but the information about the monsters made him frown: "Earthquake?" he asked, "Then what's the situation of the passages going underground? Are the ergency passages A4, A12, and B3 still intact? How's the operation of the elevators there?"
Audem was as familiar with the Shafren Mine as he was with the back of his hand. He quickly identified several passages leading to the fifth layer that would likely be the least damaged during an earthquake.
"That, I'm not sure." Madel shook his head, "I dare not go in now. You can ask yourself. But old guy, you're not really going in, right? You should think carefully – there are monsters down there. You don't need to risk your life for Ogins, do you?"
"Hmph, what do you know." The old dwarf answered irritably.
"Of course I don't know, but I wish you'd just kick the bucket already, old man," he glanced at Romantic behind him, "But don't worry, I'll take good care of your illegitimate daughter when the ti cos."
"Get lost!" Audem shouted furiously.
The cavalryn laughed and walked away.
The old dwarf grumbled and turned around, but his face quickly changed because he saw Miss rchant looking at him with an indescribable, curious, and slightly amused expression.
"It's no big deal, Grandpa," Little Roman nodded seriously, "Roman understands, Roman won't make fun of you!"
Audem was instantly petrified, feeling that his lifelong reputation was ruined.
...
Brand and disha slowly descended back to the sand in the center of the Duel Arena. As they lowered their height, the young man whispered to the Silver Elf Girl flying alongside him:
"Next should be a field battle. In a field battle, one side chooses the field and rules, so be sure to listen to the rules carefully. Violating the rules will get you disqualified."
disha listened carefully, then nodded quietly and asked softly, "Lord, what should disha do?"
"Don't worry too much. The rules won't be complicated, and most of them are mandatory. I'm just reminding you."
The Silver Elf Girl looked up at her summoner, a hint of curiosity flashing in her pale silver eyes, "Lord, you are the most learned person disha has ever t." She praised quietly, in the unique asured manner of an elf.
Brand was taken aback.
"The Black Tower Wizard's knowledge cos from the Silver Alliance Bujia," he explained in a deliberately understated manner.
disha gave him a slight smile and nodded. She had originally thought that the young lord wouldn't explain, but Brand's attitude gave her a surprising delight and clarified her doubts.
If Brand's knowledge ca from those craftsman wizards who claid to have all the world's literature, then everything he knew wouldn't seem so mysterious.
The Silver Elves are Silver Descendants, but so are the craftsman wizards.
The two landed back on the ground, and all eyes were on them. But Brand saw Kulan running towards him. The old man took a few steps and was stopped by an invisible wall of air. He stood outside the wall and shouted:
"Kid!"
Brand slightly raised a brow and looked in that direction.
