Chapter 850: Gnomes
"Hey, you're here?"
In the middle of the night, Ji Ran suddenly heard a voice behind him, and suddenly looked back, only to see a small dwarf man appear in a dark corner.
Because the light was too dim, Ji Ran almost recognized him as a child at first sight.
Obviously, this dwarf was an adult, with brown spear curls, a body of about a meter, two thick and short legs, almost half of his height, and a face that occupied about a third of his body.
The appearance of the dwarf is very ugly, a bit like the Quasimodo described in Notre Dame Cathedral, but fortunately, Ji Ran is not an elf who judges people by his appearance, so when he saw this dwarf, he did not show too exaggerated expressions, and he did not run away immediately.
"Do you speak Elvish?" Ji Ran looked at the dwarf in surprise and asked, this is the first human she has met in the human world who can speak elven language.
"It's just a little bit, but the communication should be fine." The dwarf said.
"Who are you? Why did you come to me? Ji Ran looked at the dwarf and asked.
"I'm here to save you, there's going to be a war here, everyone will die, including these serfs, you should get out of here immediately." The dwarf suddenly said with a solemn face.
"What? Will everyone here die? Why? Why is there a war? Did someone rebel? Ji Ran asked nervously.
"I don't have time to explain too much, anyway, I'm here to take you away." The dwarf didn't answer Ji Ran's question, but urged her to get out of here quickly.
"Wait, I still have my companions trapped here, take them with me." Ji Ran discussed with the dwarf.
"No, there's no time, we only have ten minutes, let's go quickly." The gnomes rejected Ji Ran's request.
"If I don't take my friends with me, then I won't leave, I won't leave my friends alone." Seeing that the dwarf refused, Ji Ran immediately gave up the idea of escaping, having lost Lotis before, and now she didn't want to lose Miria, Senfeng and Rocky anymore.
"If you keep staying, you'll be killed, don't you want to live?" The dwarf said anxiously.
"If I could die with my companions, I'd rather die here, and if I only cared about my own lives and lost my companions, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life." Ji Ran said to the dwarf.
The dwarf patted his forehead with a headache, "Okay, then you wait here, I'll go save your companion." ”
"Hey, do you know who my companion is? I haven't told you their names yet, do you know what they look like? Before Ji Ran finished speaking, the dwarf had already disappeared into the night.
Ji Ran exhaled with a collapsed face, he didn't even know who his friend was, how could he save it?
However, what Ji Ran never expected was that a few minutes later, he actually brought back Senfeng, Milia and Rocky unharmed, which was really amazing.
"Aiyi? Are you okay? After Sen Feng saw Aiyi, he looked very excited.
"It's alright, Mori Wind, Milia, Rocky, what about you?" Ji Ran also asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just a little skin trauma." Sen Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, these days, he has been abused by the overseer a lot, but fortunately, when he escaped just now, he personally solved the overseer who abused him.
"I'm fine, it's just that the food is too bad." Milia said with a pout.
Rocky shook his head, although he looked a little thinner, but he was still in good spirits.
"Alright, your friends have arrived, let's go, you follow me." After the little dwarf finished speaking, he led a few people through several dark alleys and came to a dead end.
There are walls several meters high all around, and at such a high height, even Sen Feng and Ji Ran may not be able to jump on it, and the group is in embarrassment.
"I said, dude, are you misremembering? How did you bring us here? Sen Feng asked, looking at the dwarf.
The dwarf did not answer, he crouched down, took out two sharp daggers from his cowhide boots, and then with two "pooo" sounds, accompanied by a dazzling burst of fire, he actually plunged the daggers into the wall, and then alternated his hands and climbed up.
The dagger was in his hand like an ice axe used by a mountaineer to climb a snowy mountain, and he was as agile as he climbed it in a short time.
The dwarf threw down a piece of rope and pulled Ji Ran and the others up.
When Sen Feng climbed up, he couldn't help but be impressed by the ugly and short dwarf in front of him, this guy was simply amazing.
However, after climbing the high wall, the crowd was again blindfolded.
It turns out that behind the high wall is a cliff, and the rope is only one section, which is not long enough, so how to go down?
Just when everyone was worried, I saw that the dwarf man made a few strange buckles of the rope, and then pulled it tightly and threw it down.
The dwarf man held a piece of rope in his hand and handed it to Ji Ran's hand, "You go down first, remember, only hold this rope, the one next to it, don't move, otherwise you will be thrown to death." ”
Ji Ran was still a little nervous, but there was no way back now, because the escape just now seemed to have alarmed the night watchmen in the manor, and there was already a fire flickering not far away, and they were rushing here.
Ji Ran followed the dwarf's instructions, grabbed the main rope with both hands, and climbed down carefully.
Then Milia, Rocky, and Mori Wind all climbed down.
At this time, the fire not far away was getting brighter and brighter, and the night watchman was about to arrive, and even the night watchman who was walking in front had already seen the dwarfs, and the sharp arrow feathers were shooting one by one.
The dwarf grabbed the rope and then slid straight down, he fell very fast, it took less than three seconds to descend to a cliff of more than ten meters.
"Let's go, go over there." The dwarf said, pointing to the inverted bulge next to the cliff.
Ji Ran immediately moved cautiously towards the place pointed by the dwarf, it turned out that not far away, there was a spit out boulder, and there was a hole under the boulder, which could accommodate several people to temporarily avoid danger, this was obviously a place that the dwarf had explored in advance.
"We're gone, what about the rope?" Sen Feng is worried about the rope, after all, they can climb down the rope, then the other party will definitely be able to climb down as well, and this rope has become the biggest threat.
However, as soon as Sen Feng's words fell, he saw the dwarf man grab another rope and pull it hard, and the tight rope that was originally tied up fell directly from a high place and returned to the dwarf's hand, which made Sen Feng stunned for a while.
