Beating the chest and punching the chest may seem simple, but in fact it is the most sacred etiquette among dwarf warriors - the fist-beating ceremony!
Only dwarves who respect each other's character, recognize their strength, and are confident in themselves will perform a fist-pumping ceremony on their companions.
Ying Tian is the prince of the human empire, but he understands the important etiquette of the dwarves, which surprised the red-bearded dwarf Xin Lijia.
However, when Xin Lijia punched Ying Tianyi's chest with the same punch, feeling an unusually soft but strong defensive force, and looking at the white trench coat on Ying Tianyi's body in surprise, Xin Lijia was truly shocked.
arrive.
The familiar spiritual fluctuations showed that this dress was an out-and-out artifact. The style of the dress, especially the enchantment method, almost made Xin Lijia burst into tears.
If he remembered correctly, more than a hundred years ago, when he led a group of dwarves to the Grand Forest to meet with his allies, the elves, he saw the same spiritual fluctuations in an elf guardian.
An artifact robe that has slightly changed in appearance but remains the same in essence.
This artifact robe is an artifact inherited by the elves. When it was first made, a master dwarf blacksmith even participated. Similarly, several other artifacts inherited by the elves are also recorded in the history of the dwarves.
Because, no matter what changes the continent undergoes, the elegant elves and the bold dwarves will always be the strongest allies!
Nowadays, due to changes in the situation, the dwarves followed the guidance of their ancestors and chose to live in seclusion, while the elves completely disappeared in a fire.
After losing those "annoying" allies who had mysophobia, indifferent personalities, and didn't like to drink heavily, the dwarfs once fell into sadness. They could only silently pray for their allies, hoping that some of them could escape and rekindle the elves in the future.
brilliant.
Today, in the human kingdom, the dwarf swordsman Xin Lijia not only met a magical human who knew the dwarves' "beating fist ceremony", but also in that human, after more than a hundred years apart, he met his ally Elf again.
The clan’s heritage artifact robe.
Xin Lijia was so shocked by this discovery that he almost couldn't help shouting, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.
He would not suspect that Ying Tianyi had stolen the elven clan's inherited artifact. The reason was simple. The artifact had a spirit, and people who were not recognized by the artifact spirit would not be able to use the artifact anyway.
That is to say, Ying Tianyi, the prince of the human kingdom, is actually related to the elves. He is even qualified to wear this robe, which is almost equivalent to confirming his identity - the new guardian of the elves.
!
Xin Lijia's eyes changed significantly when he looked at Ying Tianyi, like a strong man who had been in prison for a thousand years. After being released from prison, he saw a pretty little beauty. How could she be so "hungry"!
Others around him also noticed the change in Xin Lijia's eyes and felt a chill. Many people made malicious guesses: Did the old dwarf fall in love with the pretty boy Ying Tianyi...
Only Ying Tianyi knew in his heart that the emotion in Xin Lijia's eyes was not "hunger", but shock, longing, joy, and excitement. It was obvious that he could see his "hungry" through the clothes on Ying Tianyi's body.
identity".
"You... you come with me, I have something to ask you!" In excitement, Xin Lijia could no longer care about anything else, grabbed Ying Tianyi's arm and dragged him into the blacksmith shop.
This scene made people who didn't know the truth shudder, thinking that this old dwarf with a red beard wanted to drag Ying Tianyi in. The loyal imperial soldiers almost couldn't help but draw their swords.
.
Fortunately, Ying Tianyi waved his hand in time to stop the soldiers' riot, and then followed Xin Lijia into the blacksmith shop...
In the backyard of the blacksmith shop, black briquettes and various iron ingots are piled up in a mess, which shows that the living habits of the dwarves are indeed very bad.
But Ying Tianyi had no time to care about this. He first had to deal with the questions from Xin Lijia, an excited old dwarf.
Xin Lijia was seen holding on to Ying Tianyi's hand, with tears in his eyes, and asked excitedly: "You...are you really..."
Because he was so excited, Xin Lijia's lips trembled and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a while.
Fortunately, Ying Tian understood him, smiled slightly, and said nothing. He just took off the sunglasses on his face, revealing his eyes.
There was a faint trace of silver sand flowing in the black pupils, while the whites of the eyes outside were a strange golden color, glowing with a mysterious luster.
This is the state in which the eyes are fused with the elven heritage artifact "Eternal Pointer" and the "Eagle Eye" skill is turned on.
And this state is unique to every elven guardian in the past!
Seeing Ying Tianyi's eyes, the old dwarf Xin Lijia was stunned again, then his mouth flattened, and he cried "Wow" like a child...
Xin Lijia's loud cry made Ying Tian's eardrums ring, and even the people outside the blacksmith shop were startled.
No one can understand Xin Lijia's feelings at this time, not even Ying Tianyi.
This is an old dwarf who attaches great importance to friendship. After learning that his friend was killed and seeing his friend's descendants again after several years apart, the strong emotions that burst out in his heart can also be said to be a kind of venting.
I originally thought I would never see those "annoying" tall elves again, but I didn't expect to see the new guardian of the elves today. Even if the other person was a human, Xin Lijia couldn't contain his excitement.
The dwarves outside the blacksmith shop thought that Xin Lijia had been "bullied" by Ying Tianyi, so they rushed into the backyard eagerly to check.
Natalia, Cyrus and others, fearing that Ying Tianyi would suffer a loss, quickly rushed in with their soldiers.
Finally, when we came to the backyard and saw the scene in front of us, everyone was dumbfounded...
I saw Xin Lijia, an old dwarf with a red beard who could not hug Ying Tianyi because of his height, holding Ying Tianyi's thigh and crying loudly.
And Ying Tianyi, who had just put on his sunglasses again, was stroking Xin Lijia's head and comforting him softly like he would comfort a child.
This scene is really weird...
Seeing a large group of people pouring into the backyard, Ying Tian turned his head, no longer caring about the old dwarf holding his thigh and crying, and directly ordered: "Harusen misunderstood the dwarves, allies of the empire, and started provoking a fight in front of the dwarf blacksmith shop.
He caused trouble and violated the imperial and military regulations. In memory of him, he is eager to avenge the Lord and has extenuating circumstances. He will be exempted from heavy punishment and will be sentenced to confinement for one month, which will be implemented immediately!"
"Deputy Captain Cyrus, you will be responsible for taking Haruson into custody, and later write a report and submit it to His Highness Shilia. Deputy Captain Natalia, you will lead my personal guards outside the blacksmith shop.
To maintain order, I want to stay and discuss some matters with the dwarf allies!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm not talking nonsense. The murderer is really a dwarf!" After hearing Ying Tianyi's sentence, Harusen was the first to refuse to accept it and jumped out to express his displeasure.
Unfortunately, as soon as Cyrus waved his hand, two soldiers came over to restrain Haruson and dragged him out without saying a word.
With Harussen's strength, it was easy to get rid of the control of ordinary soldiers, but he did not dare to do so. The military laws of the empire were very strict and no one was allowed to provoke him. Once Harussen knowingly committed a crime, he would not be in solitary confinement.
It's so simple, but he will be sent to a military court for trial.
Cyrus led a large group of soldiers to escort Haruson away, while Natalia and others also stood guard outside the blacksmith shop. Soon, only a group of dwarves and Ying Tianyi, the only human, were left in the backyard.
Although the dwarves were grumpy, they were not stupid. They could see that the old dwarf Xin Lijia was not crying because he was bullied by Ying Tianyi, but was moved to tears by some stimulation.
Xin Lijia seemed to have a very high status among the dwarves, and the dwarves did not dare to disturb him and just stood by silently.
This damn red-bearded old dwarf had really well-developed tear ducts. He cried for nearly half an hour before he stopped, making Ying Tianyi's magic-grade pants wet.
After finally holding back his tears, Xin Lijia choked, took a deep breath, sucked back the runny nose, and swallowed it with a gulp, which made Ying Tian's stomach twitch.
"Everyone... everyone come here!" Xin Lijia let go of Ying Tianyi's thigh, called for the dwarves to gather around him, wiped his tears and said: "This... this His Highness Ying Tianyi, not just Delos
The prince of the empire is also the current guardian of the elves, our dwarf allies, so please say hello to him!"
Hearing Xin Lijia's words, the dwarves were all shocked and carefully looked at Ying Tianyi, who was tall, thin and pale compared to them. However, Xin Lijia was very authoritative among the dwarves. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the dwarves
He obeyed his words and saluted Ying Tianyi in a friendly manner, and Ying Tianyi returned the salute politely.
After greeting each other, Xin Lijia finally wiped away the tears on his face and asked Ying Tianyi anxiously: "Are they...are they okay?"
This question was a bit confusing, but Ying Tianyi understood clearly that the "they" in Xin Lijia's mouth referred to the elves.
Moreover, Ying Tianyi also saw a kind of trust in the eyes of the red-bearded old dwarf, an unconditional trust from the heart. The old dwarf had completely regarded him as one of his own.
"Hey!" Ying Tianyi sighed softly and explained: "I accepted the inheritance of the previous guardian Egelina not long ago. I learned from Egelina's memory that most of the elves died in
In that fire, they were later eroded by some weird dark atmosphere and turned into undead creatures. They have been purified by me. Only a few tribesmen opened the teleportation array in time and left the Arad continent. They should be in the south of Arad.
On the island!”
"Egelina, she...is she also dead? That nasty big-assed elf, so strong, couldn't escape?" The inheritance of the elves generally means that the previous person died.
It will be activated only when it is activated. After hearing what Ying Tianyi said, Xin Lijia immediately understood that the previous guardian Egelina was no longer alive, and tears fell in his eyes again.
Xin Lijia didn't know anything about that mysterious dark aura. He sighed in his heart that the elves turned into undead after death, and was relieved that Ying Tianyi had purified them.
As for the island in the south of the mainland, Xin Lijia also knew about it. There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and he sighed: "On Rhodes Island in the south, there are not only elves, but also our dwarf tribes. During the ancient divine war, the continent was broken.
It’s just that the elves, us dwarves, and many humans are also left on that island. I wonder how they are doing?”
"Currently, I only know of two elves left in the continent of Arad. One is my sister Sothea, who opened a tavern in Hedunmar. The other is Celia who was reincarnated into a human form. She has
The memory of the ancient elves, but the memory has not yet fully awakened." Ying Tianyi took out a bottle of wine from the item space, handed it to Xin Lijia, and said, "This is the wine brewed by sister Sosia herself, try it.
Bar!"
Xin Lijia opened the cork of the bottle, took a big sip, and sighed with emotion: "The taste of the elves is always so light, but it is unforgettable. Regarding Sosia, my cousin Xinda
You have told me in a letter a long time ago. But I didn’t expect that you are actually Sothea’s younger brother. Could it be that you are also reincarnated as an elf?”
"That's not true. I am a real human being, but my origin is a bit special. It is not what you see on the surface. Please forgive me for not being able to reveal it for the time being." Ying Tianyi replied casually, and then raised his eyebrows, somewhat unexpectedly.
Asked: "Sinda? Could it be the blacksmith Sinda from Hedunmar? Is he your cousin?"
"Yes, Sindar is indeed my cousin! When our dwarves chose to live in seclusion, he voluntarily stayed as an intelligence agent and helped the development of mankind. He is a good old man with a somewhat weird personality. But his craftsmanship is indeed good, even for me
All
I feel inferior to him. His teacher, Master Kalua, is the legendary blacksmith master of our dwarves!" Speaking of Zinda's teacher, not only Xinlijia, but also every dwarf present had a look of reverence on their face.
It can be seen that the master blacksmith is by no means taking things for granted.
Regarding the blacksmith Sindar, I believe every DNF player knows him. He is the short white-haired old man who stands in the old city of Hutton Mar and is the neighbor of the ghost swordsman mentor G.S.D.
Ying Tianyi had not paid much attention to him before, thinking that he was also a human being, just shorter, more muscular, and with thicker hair and beard. However, he did not expect that this old blacksmith was actually a dwarf.
What surprises Ying Tianyi even more is that Xinda’s teacher Kaluya is a mysterious figure who has never appeared in the dnf game and does not even have any public information, but his name is definitely known to many people. Because Kaluya
Ya created a lot of artifact-level equipment that has been passed down. In the "Kalua's Teachings" series alone, there are more than a dozen artifact weapons.
When Ying Tianyi was still on Earth, he had seen many people saying that Kalua was the father of the dark elf Kakun, and that he was friends with Bakar, the Explosive Dragon King.
Ying Tianyi sneered at this!
Because he had carefully read the main plot of the game, he clearly remembered that in the plot about the Lord Seghart of the City of Light, Celia personally said that Kakun's father was named "Karas", and he rode the Moga that year.
The Tourbillon has been to the heaven, and it is true that he has a good relationship with Bakar, the Explosive Dragon King.
Kalua and Karas, two completely unrelated names, can actually be mentioned together, and Kalua is still described as a dark elf. Human wisdom is really powerful!
Now Ying Tianyi personally came to the real continent of Arad and learned from the dwarves that the legendary blacksmith Kalua was actually a dwarf, not a dark elf. Only by making dwarves with superb skills can so many artifact-level artifacts be passed down.
equipment!
After chatting for a while, remembering the glorious history of dwarves and elves, Ying Tianyi’s identity has been recognized by all the dwarves present. At the same time, he understands the etiquette of dwarves and is also understood by others, because he has the inherited memory of the elves and knows a lot about it.
Dwarf things.
After talking for a while, Ying Tianyi finally remembered the reason why the dwarves came to the empire, and asked: "I heard that you have encountered some troubles in the secluded place where the dwarves live. Do you need my help?"
Don't think that Ying Tianyi is really a warm-hearted young man who can help the old lady cross the road regardless of his own safety. In fact, he offered to help for his own benefit.
First of all, helping the dwarf will inevitably involve fighting. He can get a lot of benefits from it, and at worst, he can absorb a lot of soul essence.
Secondly, all dwarves are blacksmiths, and all of them have enviable craftsmanship. As the guardian of the elves, to help the dwarves, are the dwarves embarrassed not to give him some gifts? When the time comes, just give him two artifacts, and he will
Make a lot of money!
"Hey!" Speaking of the dwarves' troubles, Xin Lijia sighed again and said helplessly: "We dwarves are similar to the dark elves. We are both races that are used to living underground. Now we live in seclusion in the Arnofar Forest.
Under the surrounding mines, we can use the ores there to build equipment, and we can also use the fertile underground land to cultivate our own crops. Life used to be pretty good."
"But a while ago, the cave demons living on the south side of the mine, for some unknown reason, began to dig holes towards us, as if they were migrating to the northwest. As a result, those big mindless spiders passed by our dwarf tribe.
, they unreasonably destroyed our fields and hurt many of us."
"We dwarves, like elves, have far less reproductive capacity than humans, so our population is naturally not that large. Faced with the overwhelming crypt demons, no matter how strong we are, we cannot resist them, so we have no choice but to run to the human kingdom for help. I heard
The Delos Empire has a strong military. If we can send a legion to support us, I believe we can easily resist the invasion of the crypt demons. We are willing to pay for this with the equipment we built ourselves, and we will not let the empire suffer. You are the prince of the empire, so you should be able to help
Come to us?"
Xin Lijia already regards Ying Tianyi as one of his own, and he is not polite when asking for help. Dwarves are usually so generous.
When he heard the name "Crypt Demon", Ying Tianyi certainly knew what kind of monster it was. Isn't it a giant spider? The undead spiders he encountered at the "Endless Altar" were the so-called Crypto Demons during their lifetime.
However, when he heard that it was the spider group on the southeast side of the Arnofar Forest, Ying Tianyi's face turned a little pale because he remembered a very bad memory.
When he was training in the Arnofar Forest, because he was too weak, he could only move forward cautiously and hunt down some lone monsters. When he encountered an army of monsters, he could only stay away from them, so his upgrade speed was very slow. It took him two full years to complete the training.
Upgraded to more than ten levels. Of course, there are also reasons why Natalia, Cyrus and others are around and it is not convenient to be exposed.
One time, he accidentally got lost and took Natalia and others wandering around in the forest. In order to avoid being chased by monsters, he accidentally ran to the southeastern outskirts of Yanofa Forest and encountered a terrifying army of spiders.
Those big spiders were at least 30 levels each. They were not something that Ying Tianyi could fight against at that time. There was also a terrifying spider lord who was even stronger. Although Ying Tianyi was curious, that spider lord should obviously be in the game.
How come the monster near the Dark City comes here, but you don't dare to provoke it?
Finally, and most exaggeratedly, Ying Tianyi actually saw a legendary super-level being in the spider army, leaving him with a terrible nightmare... (To be continued.)
