The air on Livlan's right side was stagnant, and there was a faint sound of heavy objects breaking through the air. However, Livlan did not react at all, as if these changes did not exist around her.
When her tip was raised by an invisible attack, a short sword flew out from the dense forest behind her and stabbed Livlan's side.
The invisible offensive in the air did not slow down. After the dagger flew past and flew towards the rock wall, Livlan slowly opened her eyes after noticing it. The elf's long ears touched a power that could not be seen with the naked eye. She just felt something
Livlan didn't even have time to react when something was in her ear. The huge force had already affected the side of Livlan's face, and the terrifying force had already sunken Livlan's face deeply before it even touched her.
Bang.
The dagger that had previously flown past Livlan exploded in the air with a soft sound before changing direction before inserting into the rock wall. It flew diagonally to the right side of Livlan, colliding with the unknown attack and blocking the blow.
The rear dagger plunged straight into the pile of fallen leaves. Livlan was also able to respond, not knowing the danger around her.
When a new round of cracks appeared on the rock wall, Arthur stepped on a thick branch in the dense forest behind Livlan and jumped out. He rolled to the position where the dagger had fallen before, picked up the Sika sword and rushed to it.
Next to Livlan, Livlan finally realized something was wrong around her. The cracks on the smooth rock wall were getting deeper and deeper, and she was getting closer and closer to Livlan. She was taking a defensive posture and planned to test this step by step.
When the crack was approaching, Arthur grabbed Livlan by the collar and pulled her down to the ground. The air flow slowed down where Livlan was standing just now, and at the same time, there was a loud noise in the air. It was obvious that the invisible blow failed. Anyone
Even if you take this blow, it won't be easy.
"Arthur? What's going on? Are you okay?" Livlan hugged her head and rolled away from the area affected by the remaining force. When she stood up again, Arthur had already inserted the Sika sword into the rock wall. She quickly asked, only
Only by knowing the information that Arthur knew, could she provide him with corresponding help.
"I woke up after you left, and I no longer felt that heavy body. In addition, the collar button on my clothes kept vibrating, and it resonated even more strongly when I got here! There is someone here that we can't see.
He's nearby! I've got him under control. I don't know if this person is friend or foe. Go find George!" Arthur held the Sika sword firmly. On the surface, it looked like he was inserting the dagger into the rock surface. In fact, Arthur
Arthur knew that his sword was restricting the movement of something at the moment. His constantly vibrating collar button reminded him of the invisible person's position, which gave Arthur a way to restrict 'it' movement.
Livlan quickly got into the dense forest. She was going to find George on the flat slope where she had rested before.
When Livlan completely disappeared into the elephant trunk forest, Arthur pulled out the Sika sword in his hand from the rock wall, which only had a tactile feel.
It looked like Arthur was stepping on its soft belly. Under the seemingly deserted rock wall, Arthur was stepping on something out of thin air. All the muscles in his body were tense, for fear that something under his feet might accidentally hit him.
slip.
"Okay, there is no one else, tell me, who are you? Why do you restrict my movements, but keep talking to me with your collar button?"
Arthur waited quietly for an answer. When he suddenly appeared here, in addition to telling Livlan about the collar button that kept vibrating, he also heard a voice constantly calling him from the collar button. Although it was
Calling, but the sound coming from the collar was like the scene Arthur had heard many times in his body when talking to the elements.
I can only understand what it means, but I can't express what exactly it said, so I can only repeat it in an imitative way.
The invisible 'it' seemed particularly excited after Arthur finished talking about the collar button. The creature under Arthur's feet struggled back and forth, and after a piercing scream, it lifted Arthur's legs and knocked Arthur to the ground.
The moment Arthur fell to the ground, his right index finger pointed in an unknown direction, electricity gathered at his fingertips, and his left hand held the hilt of the Sika sword.
A sharp voice came from in front of Arthur: "Where are you a wizard? Why is the little master's collar button on you?"
'It' knows Hobik, and it is most likely the person Parrish asked me to find... Arthur began to analyze the identity of the invisible man.
"Are you someone sent by Parrish? Impossible. The young master should have come by himself. What do you know?" In front of Arthur's eyes, an elderly dwarf figure with wrinkles on his face was vaguely outlined.
He is less than 1.2 meters tall, with a round body, and a hair style like a cockscomb, which does not match the beard that grows messily to his abdomen. He holds a small hammer in his hand that is as long as Arthur's arm. He just used this hammer to attack
Livlan and Arthur.
It seemed that he would not continue fighting. Arthur stood up from the ground and picked off the elephant trunk leaves stuck to his body. "First of all, I was indeed sent by Parrish, but I don't know what Parrish has."
Purpose, secondly, I want to know your relationship with Hobik, so that I can decide what to tell you."
After circling Arthur twice in suspicion, the old dwarf stood in front of Arthur, holding his beard and looking up at Arthur, "You do have Parrish's disgusting smell on you. He didn't tell you before he asked you to come."
What to do? This is in line with his character, so I won’t tell you anything else. I am a servant of the great Houston family and a great dwarf blacksmith. I specialize in making witches of their own for allied wizards.
I was lucky enough to be named White by Horst Houston himself. Houston, just call me White. But you'd better forget my name after you leave this mountain. Our Houston family was very troublesome in the old days.
There are many humans and elves, and the Houston family is no better than before. I guess Parrish has cast some kind of witchcraft on the little master to be able to keep the little master with him for a long time. Otherwise, the little master will die early with his mouth that can talk about anything.
Near Castle Rye..."
Arthur held the rough palm stretched out by White. This was the first time he had seen a dwarf other than Hobik. When he heard White's muttered words in the second half, he suddenly remembered the first time he met Hobik five years ago.
At that time, Captain Dodge said that Hobik had forgotten his name, which must be the witchcraft exerted by Parrish, and then reminded Hobik that it was also to obtain the item kept by the Hobik family.
In this way, Captain Dodge and Parrish also had a lot of entanglements, but there is no way to verify this.
After solving part of his doubts, Arthur returned his attention to White. When White was still going to continue chattering, Arthur blocked his mouth first. "I am Arthur, and what I want to do next is
I hope Mr. White won't be too sad about what I'm telling you..."
"What do you mean? Sad, how could it be! We dwarves are a model of optimism!"
...
"You...you mean...the little master died in Nozil City?...No...this is not true..."
Arthur handed a soft leaf to White who was crying until he burst into tears. The old dwarf's tears were like a burst dam. From the moment Arthur told White about Hobic's obituary, he had already sat on the ground crying.
It had been more than half an hour, during which George and Livlan had come, but under Arthur's explanation, they decided to leave the time to them for the time being.
"...I...should have gone with...little master back then...that bastard Parrish...why did you let my little master go to such a dangerous place! I must take him
The head is hung on the wall of honor of the Houston family for display! I swear to the Dwarf King!" White's beard was tangled with tears, and he had to free his hands to deal with his beard.
Arthur also felt very uncomfortable. From the intermittent communication with White just now, Arthur finally understood the reason why Hobic left the Houston family site and was with Parrish. Thirteen years ago, when Arthur was just born
Soon after, the Houston family, affected by the expansion of Brighton City, concentrated their descendants near Eslanka Mountain, where the most spectacular palace of the Houston family originally existed.
But because a group of men in black robes took advantage of the fact that the head of the family at the time, Horst Houston, Hobik's father, attacked the Houston Palace when he was out, and then took advantage of the conflict between dwarves and humans to indirectly kill Horst Houston.
The dwarves of the southern continent, who were already on their last legs, suffered a fatal blow and had to flee to the territory of the orcs. The last remaining dwarves, Hobik and his servant White, were quietly living in seclusion in a hidden place in the Houston Palace on Eslanka Mountain. Parrish was
He met Hobik five years ago and informed him that the man in white and black robes who had been taking care of Hobik's growth was still searching for their whereabouts.
White, who did not have much fighting power, had to entrust Hobik to Parrish. No one expected that Parrish would actually send Hobik to the disputed city of Nozil due to lack of manpower.
"Parrish... once said... the purpose of the men in black robes is unknown, but... they seem to have been targeting people from the four major wizard families at that time... I know that the world today is extremely hostile to wizards.
This didn't make Master Hobic become a wizard like his father... But I know... Hobic must have inherited the great bloodline of the Houston family, and is a natural wizard who has not yet awakened! It's just...
Oh...my little master..." White threw his snot on the ground and fell into endless sadness.
However, Arthur accurately captured what White mentioned. The men in black robes were attacking people from the four major families, inheriting the bloodline, awakening as natural wizards, and the Hobbits who also suffered the disaster of annihilation...
Thinking of the witch hunter testing his own elements, Arthur eagerly wanted to know the story about their Hebrew family and what happened to the wood element that was slightly awakened in his body.
