The dwarf was imprisoned in a suspended iron cage, enduring hunger in his belly. The iron cage was hung on the top of the city gate for people to laugh at and despise.
Without food, the dwarf can still endure the hunger of a knife, but without water, the dwarf may not be able to survive for a few days. The magician who is responsible for guarding the cage also fully understands this truth and often pours water on it.
To the dwarf.
After being drenched in water, the ugly dwarf not only did not complain, but became extremely excited. Water is the nutrient that sustains her life. She first picked up the water that had not yet dripped with her hands, and then lowered her head and used her chapped lips to dab it little by little.
After drinking, when the water in her hand was finished, she began to lift the clothes above her head, twisting them hard, and swallowed all the water droplets squeezed out. Even the water on the cage railings was not let go by her.
.
Even just any drop of water can continue her dying life. Of course she will not let her life die. Even if it is just the last struggle before death, she is still tenaciously persisting.
The reason why the dwarf is in this situation is all because of her own fault.
Because of his ugly and strange appearance, the dwarf was once responsible for playing the role of the evil female lord Moriel in a theater troupe to show Hardwood's glory and power. Unexpectedly, during a performance, he bumped into Moriel herself, and the angry Moriel
The entire troupe was destroyed, leaving only the dwarf alive, not because Moriel was merciful, but because she wanted the dwarf to face a more tragic ending.
Several weeks have passed since that incident. The dwarf in the cage is still alive, but looks very weak. She has only been able to hold on with one breath. She can almost feel that her body is gradually decaying.
, her breath became weaker and weaker. No matter what, she could not endure the cold night, and her death was approaching her step by step.
Facing the impending death, the dwarf was unwilling to accept it, but he could not change it. It was already a very lucky thing that she could live for so long without being killed by Moriel on the spot. How could she expect more? But recently, more and more people have been watching her near the city gate. Some people even threw food at her, kneeling on the ground and muttering to themselves, as if they were praying, despite the guards' obstruction.
He was quickly driven away by the guards. The occasional food was also the reason why the dwarf was able to persist to this point.
The dwarf is not an ignorant person. She knew that when she was locked in the iron cage, some amazing changes must have taken place in the underground world, and the source of the changes was most likely related to the real Moriel. She only became obsessed with it because of this.
People who took advantage of the situation and didn't know why thought she was punished by Hardwood for playing Moriel.
The crowd gathered under the cage again, and the dwarf saw the banshee who always threw food at her. This time, she held an egg the size of a human head in her hand. It seemed to be the product of some kind of monitor lizard.
Prepare to throw it at yourself.
The guards also saw the gathering crowd, and were about to move forward to drive them away, but the crowd suddenly became a little restless. The chaotic flow of people scattered the guards in line, and it was overcrowded for a while.
It wasn't until a cry of pain was heard that the guards realized that something was wrong. They were separated by the crowd and were now being attacked by enemies from the dark. However, by the time they found out, it was already a little late. Now this group of guards
They couldn't even put up any resistance and were quickly wiped out.
The sharp arrow shot through the iron chain of the hanging cage, and as the hanging cage fell, the huge impact made the dwarf's eyes flash with stars. She shook her head vigorously, and soon woke up. The short dwarf's body made her vulnerable to the impact.
She has good resistance, and it was Medusa who was hiding in the crowd and holding a long bow who shot down the cage to release her.
"Lord Moriel heard the news about you and she wants to see you." Medusa spit out her long forked tongue and stared at the dwarf in front of her with cold pupils.
Listening to Medusa's unquestionable words, the dwarf was slightly stunned, and her lips trembled a little. She had a vague premonition in her heart that some amazing changes must have occurred in the entire underground world, and the master who caused all these changes,
It was Moriel who was preparing to summon her.
The accident that happened at the hanging cage also attracted the attention of the guards in the city. Soon, a group of magicians came over with their alien subordinates. This situation frightened the dwarf. She was not one of those people at all.
If the opponent of the magician falls into the hands of the magician, he is afraid that he will return to the cold cage, or even worse, die directly in the melee.
Medusa seemed to have been prepared. She raised her hand, and the flow of air nearby seemed to become stagnant. The dwarf could vaguely see that there seemed to be something invisible, traveling through the space, and pounced directly on the monsters.
Magician.
With the emergence of unusual movements in the space, the team of magicians instantly became a mess. They were originally cooperating with each other, but now they started to fight each other. The magician who was betrayed by his companions will never understand until his death.
Why did the companions who were fighting side by side just now attack them in turn?
Only a few knowledgeable sorcerers understand what happened. It is said that the number one public enemy in the entire underground world, Lord Moriel, has the ability to steal the enemy's mind silently. This matter in the underground world
It is no longer a secret, but there are still many magicians who do not believe this. How can they have the power to make them do such crazy things? Until the situation appears in front of them, the magicians cannot help but not believe it.<
/p>
This discovery also made the magicians feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They had no idea when their companions would become enemies. They were also full of suspicion among themselves. It was impossible for them to relax and join forces to fight against the enemy, so they had to disperse and retreat. The dwarf also breathed a sigh of relief. Without those pursuers, at least she was still alive now. However, the dwarf had not relaxed for long, and his heart was hanging again. He rescued her and planned to summon her, but it became more and more difficult.
The terrible Moriel doesn’t know what kind of fate is waiting for her.
When being taken away, the succubus handed the giant lizard egg to the dwarf, and said the words seeking Moriel's protection. The dwarf broke open the egg shell, swallowing the slightly fishy egg white, and thinking about the succubus' words.
In the content, when did people actually pray to Moriel? But it is precisely because of this that the dwarf can persist until now by relying on the food he got by chance.
The dwarf was brought to a unique mount, the manticore, which was notorious in the entire underground world. The manticore looked very untouchable, and the dwarf couldn't help but swallow his saliva, along with the manticore he was holding in his hand.
The giant lizard egg was also a little unsteady and almost fell to the ground, as if it had been paralyzed by the manticore. It was not until Medusa urged her that she climbed onto the manticore's back and was led by the manticore.
Go away quickly.
"I don't know why Lord Moriel summoned such an inconspicuous dwarf. Her foresight is beyond our ability to guess."
Watching the scene of the dwarf leaving, Medusa couldn't help but shake her head. In just a few weeks, the entire underground world has undergone drastic changes because of Moriel. Every underground lord has
Being dragged into the flames of war by her, Medusa, as a subordinate, could only lament her strategizing in the battle, and the result was that she was invincible.
After retracting her gaze, Medusa returned her gaze to the enemy. She would follow Lord Moriel's order and lead the Chapter Demon King to completely conquer this town under Hardwood's rule. There would be no sorcerer.
Able to resist terrifying monsters from other dimensions.
Under the leadership of the manticore, the dwarf felt bumpy along the way, her belly was rumbling, and she couldn't help but vomit out the egg liquid she had just swallowed, but she finally endured it. During this period of being imprisoned in the hanging cage
Here, she was tortured by hunger. How could she spit out the food she had finally eaten? It was simply unbearable for the dwarf. No matter how painful her abdomen was, she was unwilling to spit out the food she had eaten. p>
I don't know how much time passed, but when the dwarf felt that he could no longer hold on, the manticore finally stopped.
As a powerful alien species in the underground world, the manticore not only has the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion, but also has a pair of bat wings on both sides of its body to assist in movement. The existence of the bat wings allows the manticore to fly short distances.
They cannot fly freely in the air like real flying creatures, but they also have stronger maneuverability and can stop manticores with almost no obstacles.
The only one in the entire underground world that can surpass the Manticore in terms of movement speed is a true giant dragon. Apart from that, most of the ordinary alien creatures cannot match it in terms of speed.
The dwarf riding behind the manticore was also lucky enough to experience the speed of the manticore. This was not a good experience, especially when he had just eaten food in his belly. Such a unique experience, I don't think a dwarf would take it lightly.
Forget it, and the joy of riding a manticore always remains in the heart of the dwarf.
In the entire underground world, only those high-ranking magicians are qualified to ride such powerful monsters as manticores. For ordinary people, let alone riding them, it is good if they do not become the food of manticores. The dwarf never dreamed that he would be able to ride a manticore, and that he would be able to ride such a powerful monster. Although his body was a little uncomfortable, the feeling of joy that existed in his heart was nothing.
It cannot be erased.
Looking at the manticore in front of him, the dwarf couldn't help but think that the master behind the manticore was the number one public enemy of the entire underground world, the evil lord Moriel. The dwarf had offended that lord before, and he didn't know what was waiting for her.
What a terrible punishment.
"Moriel..." Silently reciting the name that made the entire underground world tremble with fear, the dwarf, led by the Tauren King's guards, soon saw the fierce woman with mohawked red hair.
The dwarf's eyes were still on the Minotaurs around him. They were not the old Minotaurs in the troupe who were in their twilight years and had no strength to wield weapons, but the leader among the Minotaurs, the Minotaurs in shining armor. In a group of
Surrounded by the Bull-headed King, even the giant dragon cannot escape easily. It is inevitable that the Bull-headed King will peel off a layer of skin.
It wasn't until a sharp gaze like a knife fell on him that the dwarf came back to his senses and saw the evil lord who was famous in the underground world.
"I didn't expect you to be alive. You are really lucky." Moriel said slowly. When she learned that the dwarf was still alive, even she was a little surprised. She had to lament the tenacity of life. Before the day of death, even one
A dwarf, he is not willing to give up his hard-earned life easily.
"Lord Moriel, I..."
The dwarf was about to say something, but Moriel immediately interrupted her: "Don't call me an adult, call me 'hero'. Hero Moriel, I like this title."
Moriel seemed to have an obsession with the hero mentioned in the words. Even the dwarf felt this and immediately changed his words: "As you wish, hero Moriel."
Moriel nodded with satisfaction: "You may think that I am boasting, but this is just a fact. There are only two people in the world who can be called heroes, and one of them is me."
The dwarf seemed to hear something in Moriel's words, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there another person?"
"Who knows..." The red-haired woman snorted coldly, as if the words of a dwarf reminded her of some unpleasant memories in her heart, and even the look in her eyes became unkind.
Once upon a time, hero was a word that Moriel was very familiar with, but now, it has become such an unreachable existence. In this time without heroes, only she and one other person understand what it means to be a hero. It is a pity that the person who is qualified to be called a hero with her and who knows everything about the past ended up taking a different path from her.
Moriel is not worried about the person who left. According to that person's strength and means, what should be worried about is the creature in this time. Maybe it won't be long before Moriel can hear about that person from all over the world.
Deeds.
However, when she thinks of the person who has gone far away, there will still be some ripples in Moriel's heart, as if a very important component is missing. Even though the battle in the underground world is going extremely smoothly, it won't be long before she
She could take over the entire underground kingdom, but she always felt that something was missing.
Shaking her head, Moriel turned her attention to the dwarf. She saw that the dwarf was in an extremely embarrassed state. The clothes all over his body were extremely dirty, with dried egg liquid and water stains on them. His body was even thinner and showing exhaustion, as if he was in decline.
Looking like she was about to die, she felt that she had received the punishment she deserved, and the original resentment in her heart had almost dissipated.
"You came just in time. I have prepared a gift for Hardwood, and you can also participate in it." Looking at the dwarf, Moriel said lightly.
