The dull footsteps echoed in the forest, and a dwarf was dragging his heavy body and running wildly towards the depths of the dense forest.
Heavy breathing sounds continued to come from the mouth of this dwarf. His face wrinkled. It was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength to run, but his speed was completely unsatisfactory. The dwarf's natural disadvantage in speed was on him at this moment.
was fully demonstrated.
The constant panting made his throat unbearably dry, his lips were already dry and cracked, and a large amount of water was lost in his body, and he could no longer hold on for long.
A special kind of death energy remained in this dwarf, and it did not diminish as he ran. His clothes were full of signs of damage. It seems that before this, he had been treated in a way that he did not want to remember. On the contrary,
His actions disturbed a large number of creatures in the forest.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the outline of a town appeared vaguely in front of him. This discovery made the dwarf feel happy. Regardless of the fatigue of his body, he used all his strength again and suddenly increased his running speed, hoping to be able to run faster.
Arrive at the town ahead.
However, the distance to reach the town ahead was far longer than the dwarf imagined. He didn't understand why he had seen the outline of the town so long ago, but when he actually ran to reach the town he saw, he ended up
It’s such a long journey.
Due to lack of physical strength, the dwarf took several breaks during this journey, but then started running again. However, he never dared to stop, as if he was being chased by something frightening. He had very important information.
Must be communicated to other creatures.
Finally, the dwarf arrived in front of this town, but the scene in front of him greatly disappointed him.
The city gate has long been opened. There are no defenders around, and no living creatures can be seen coming and going. What is left here is just an empty city.
This discovery immediately made the dwarf curse angrily. He knew that his original efforts were in vain. The creatures in the city had already evacuated in advance in order to take refuge, not caring that the necromancer was about to occupy their homeland.
While feeling resentful in his heart, the dwarf seemed to have no choice but to collect his emotions and run into the depths of the forest again, hoping to find other creatures as soon as possible.
This time, the dwarf was not so lucky. He ran all the way until his physical strength was exhausted and he could not find another town.
Waves of dizziness began to appear in his mind. At some point, his steps that should have been heavy landed lightly on the ground. His expression was in a trance for a while, and the next moment his body tilted and fell to the ground.
.
In a blur of consciousness, he seemed to see a green figure appearing in front of him and reaching out to him.
The next moment, the dwarf's vision went dark and he fell into a deep coma, losing all awareness of everything around him.
After an unknown amount of time, the consciousness returned to the dwarf's body again.
There was a soft touch under his body, and the dwarf saw that he was lying on a large piece of pure white cotton blanket. This warm and soft touch was far beyond the hard board he usually lay on when sleeping.
.
Looking around, the dwarf noticed that he was in a tent that was set up, surrounded by thin cloths, herbs and other things. The surface of the tent showed a light gray-white color, which was not as bright as the cotton blanket below.
eyes, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"Are you awake?" With a soft tone, a green figure lifted the mat curtain hanging at the entrance of the camp and walked in.
What appears in the eyes of the dwarf is a female elf with pure blood. She has a tall body, is dressed in emerald-green clothing, has pointed ears, and is holding a bowl-shaped vessel in her hand.
Even after what happened in the previous village, it was still difficult for the dwarf to have any negative thoughts about the elf in front of him.
"Who are you? Did you save me? Also, where is this place?"
A series of questions came from the mouth of this dwarf. It seemed that in order to cover up his uneasiness, he frowned and wanted to understand everything that had happened before.
"I'm not that capable to bring you here."
With a chuckle, the elf stepped forward and handed the vessel in his hand to the dwarf.
"Your body is still very weak. The spell can extend your life, but it cannot take away your fatigue. Drink it, it will make your body feel better."
There was a burst of ethereal words in his ears, and the dwarf felt a little hesitant, but he finally felt the kindness of the elf, so he took a big gulp of the crystal liquid in the bowl without thinking.
As the crystal liquid entered his belly, various wonderful changes began to occur in his body. The dwarf felt his spirit shaken, his physical fatigue swept away, and his whole body was filled with strength.
After drinking all the liquid in the bowl, the dwarf smacked his lips, still savoring the sweet feeling remaining between his lips and teeth, wondering what kind of thing he drank.
Seeing the doubts in the dwarf's heart, the elf explained: "What you just drank is a drop of diluted elven spring, which can help you quickly replenish your missing physical strength."
The elf's words immediately made the dwarf understand how precious he had drank. Even a drop of the elven spring was not something the dwarf could bear at this time.
The dwarves have never heard of using something as precious as the Fairy Spring as a consumable to replenish physical strength. Who can have such an honor?
"Thank you..."
Difficult words were spoken from the mouth of the dwarf, accompanied by involuntary pauses.
Looking at the elf in front of him, the dwarf had very complicated feelings. On the one hand, he was grateful for her help to him, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to forgive those elves because of what happened before.
After all, hatred prevailed in his heart and diluted the gratitude in the dwarf's heart. He did not show any good looks to the elves who cared about him, but asked in a deep voice:
"You haven't answered my previous questions, where is this place? And who are you?"
"Relax, no matter what you have encountered before, at least you are absolutely safe now. You don't have to worry about being invaded by the Necromancer. No one dares to cause trouble here."
The elf said softly in a soothing tone, and at the same time took the vessel containing the elf spring from the dwarf's hand.
"This is a quiet city. It is only a short distance away from the holy land in the forest and the Elf King City. Pilgrims gather in the city, accompanied by the migrating creatures. It has not been so lively here for a long time. What a wonderful scene.
