Chapter 2414 (??ω??) You are moving too slowly(1/4)
In this world, there is a race called halflings.
They look similar to humans, but are shorter, basically only half the height of normal humans, so they are called halflings.
And it is precisely because they are petite and look harmless to humans and animals without much deterrence that they are able to survive at least safely in this chaotic and dangerous world, in the midst of troubled times where big countries are strife, wars and entanglements are constant.
Several hundred years.
If you think about it carefully, a group of small and seemingly harmless races are destined to be ignored by both allies and enemies. They are not taken seriously and are still dispensable.
As long as we exist, we can naturally make both ends meet and live well.
Coincidentally, on the way Annie followed Edkin and the four of them toward the eternal wilderness, there happened to be a halfling town, and because of Holgai's insistence, a few people went to the halfling town.
We stayed in the town for a long time, and got to meet Holgai's ex-husband, a halfling dwarf named 'Malamine', a strange uncle who was about the same height as Anne.
That’s right!
The ex-husband of Horgai, a female barbarian warrior who was so tall that she could knock Edkin down with one punch, was such a halfling!
And it is said that Horgai had a direct falling out with his tribe in order to be with the halfling Malamin?
It's a pity that the marriage that was not favored by the parents and the tribe did not last.
Sure enough, the combination of two people, one big and one small, soon became confused due to various reasons, such as Holgai neglecting his family, drinking all day long, beating people, not making a legitimate living, liking robberies, and often going out for ten days and half a month without coming back, etc.
Failed.
Later, Holgay met Edkin who lost his wife and raised Kira together. Then they went to Colin Castle's vault to steal treasures, and were finally imprisoned together. Then they escaped together and prepared to go to Neverwinter City.
The city lord Fuch's revenge and other things happened.
As for all the things that happened to the barbarian aunt Holgai, after Anne learned about it, she only felt that the other party deserved it and deserved it!
Anyway, from Annie's point of view, only Edkin, the uncle who also doesn't learn well and likes to give up on himself, can get along with the other party?
Of course, that kind of thing isn't important.
The important thing is that this time, Holgai passed by the halfling town and made a special trip to visit the Malamin. The process was not very pleasant, especially after he found out that Malamin had found a new love a year ago.
And after the other party is also a female barbarian like her?
It was a big man named 'Gwen', who was even thicker than Holgay and weighed at least several times as much as the Malamin halfling. He didn't look very outstanding, but he was stronger than Holgay in many aspects.
Is Ergai better, for example: taking care of his family, not drinking alcohol, not hitting others, having a legitimate livelihood, never robbing, never going out and not coming back for ten days and a half, etc?
Anyway!
That chubby savage woman seemed to outshine Holgay no matter how she competed.
Moreover, the other party also took the initiative to bring roasted marinated goose to entertain Anne and others who had been waiting outside the house, making his reputation with Anne almost instantly surpass that of Hall, who had been staying with her for several days.
Guys, this made Anne feel even more that someone really deserved to be dumped?
Fortunately, the very unpleasant experience for the barbarian female warrior Holgai only lasted for half a day. After a little repair and chatting with Namaramin, she did not accept the dinner from Namaramin.
After the invitation, she only found a cane that she had left in the house before, and angrily dragged Anne, Edkin, Simon and Doric to set off.
Because the halfling town is not far from the barbarian reindeer tribe territory, and similarly, it is not far from the war site a hundred years ago, that is, the eternal wilderness burial ground in the south of Nesmai, and given that they want to
What she was doing was the 'evil' thing of digging up graves, looking for corpses and questioning them, so she successfully persuaded Edkin and others on the grounds that it was better to act at night and to cover up people's eyes.
However, Annie still felt that the other party definitely didn't want to stay in that halfling town and get hurt by the situation, so he had to leave in a hurry?
Because, when the other party got back on the horse, he said angrily that he must bring down Fuch, so that the reindeer tribe and the Malamin would treat him differently?
But no matter what, after a few hours of journey, Annie, Uncle Edkin, Aunt Holgay, Miss Doric and the rookie warlock Simon finally arrived at the huge 'moon' in the sky and other
When the ring appeared in the night sky, they successfully arrived at their destination—the mass graves located south of Nesmai.
"arrive!"
Holgai, who was leading the way in the dark, suddenly stretched out his hand to signal and stopped.
"This is it."
"call!"
"It's late at night, the environment here is really not very pleasant..."
Looking at the chaotic cemetery with many tombstones and crooked tombstones in front of him under the moonlight at night, looking at this quiet place full of death, even though he is a barbarian with the same thick nerves and body, Holgai still feels that the surroundings
It was a bit cool and I had goosebumps all over my body.
"Hello!"
"Little Annie, are you afraid?"
"Later, we are going to dig graves and ask questions about the dead!"
"If you are afraid, don't follow me in."
Saying that, while Holgai turned over and dismounted, he even considerately tried to persuade Anne, who was sitting boredly on Tibbers' shoulders and dangling her feet.
"Cut~!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)~~
"What's there to be afraid of?"
ヾ(=?ω?=)o
"Everyone has seen more undead, and has long been used to it!"
(???3?)
Unfortunately, Anne didn't buy it. Instead, she turned her head away with disdain, saying that this kind of small scene was not a problem for her at all.
"Just keep going!"
(=′ω`=)
And that is indeed the case.
For Annie, undead skeletons and the like were nothing but smelly, dirty, disgusting, and affecting her mood and appetite.
"Just don't be afraid!"
Seeing that Anne insisted on going, Holgai didn't insist much.
"but……"
"Are you sure you've seen the undead?"
"I've never seen it before!"
But she seemed to not quite believe what Anne said, because she herself had never seen such evil things as the undead, so she couldn't imagine that the "accustomed" kind of thing would come out of a little girl's mouth.
Incredible wording.
"If you don't believe me, throw me down!"
??(?? ̄? ̄)????
Anne didn't want to explain.
After all, once explained, it would have to start with the first time she went to the world of Azeroth, and then she would also have to explain that she was accidentally trapped in the land of fire, and that she met Shannok, the leading party.
With the help of the other party, he stole Big Screw's house, and then was summoned to Quel'Thalas to meet Sylvanas's sister.
And those things were troublesome just thinking about them, and she didn't want to bring them up again!

(● ̄? ̄●)
"Holgai!"
"Hey!"
"You have also seen that there are so many graves here, who should we go to ask?"
However, the eager Edkin didn't care so much. He just turned over and dismounted, quickly picked up the tools, and urged Holgai to ask.
"do not ask me!"
"I wasn't born yet at that time, how would I know?"
"But many of my relatives..."
"Well, are they my grandfather's relatives?"
"Many of them were killed in that war. Just look at the tombstones. The ones that are more dilapidated and older should be the ones."
"correct!"
"Should the tombstone be engraved with a name and approximate time of death?"
Seeing that Anne insisted on following him, Holgay didn't say much. He just answered Edkin's questions, arranged his things and tied the horse's reins before walking forward and answering casually.
.
"Name and approximate time of death?"
"A worn tombstone?"
