Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 29: Dragon Lion Cliff One

The sun rises from the horizon and shines on the face from the bottom up, which is a strange experience. Siegel stood on the platform at the entrance of Mora's Peak cave, from where he came to the Dwarf Kingdom two months ago and became the hero of the summit. Now, he is leaving here again, and together with Master Leia, the dwarf Erint, and the barbarian Dio from the Western Highlands, set off to Dragon Lion Cliff to complete his long-awaited adventure.

Siegel was dressed in a thick fur robe, under which he was equipped with the new armor given to him by the dwarves—a delicate black breastplate. The breastplate is smooth and flat, and the two front and rear armor plates are made of pure steel and tied together with savage leather belts. The edge of the breastplate is plated with a layer of copper, and the chest is embellished with the emblem of the hero of the summit and Erinte's personal signature.

In order to continue to keep Siegel's agile pace, he didn't wear armor below the waist, just wearing thick thermal cotton pants. The non-slip leather boots and fur gloves were new, and the gold belt was tied around the waist. When Siegel stood on the snowy mountain platform and faced the sea of ​​​​clouds with his head held high, he looked imposing and handsome. But his hair is now brown, soft and shiny—a technique he learned from Elsa Beauty.

Apart from the dagger that Sir Bill had left him hidden in the boot, Siegel's weapon was brand new. As a warrior to fill the role of Jazz, he needs to be able to handle a variety of combat situations. So he carried a longbow, a broadsword, a machete, a warhammer, a throwing axe, a shield, and more than twenty arrows. Whether it's on the back, hanging on the waist or tied to the legs, after counting the armor, the equipment weighs more than 60 pounds. If it is not for a strong body that has been exercised, it is difficult to carry. You must know that this weight is enough to crush ordinary people, and it is difficult to walk for a long time, let alone fight at any time.

Leah is still the equipment of the elf ranger, but she wears a new coat and supplements the arrows. Under everyone's persuasion, Dio finally agreed to put on a pony jacket over his naked upper body, but it made him appear more powerful - and sexy. The barbarian was carrying the "Wild Blessing Giant Stick" from his tribe, eight flying axes pinned to his belt, and he was fond of the new curved-blade sword given to him by the dwarves.

After wearing his heirloom full-body armor, Erinte looked even wider, like a moving iron lump. The armor is full of dents, all of which are damage from previous battles. The history of the dwarves' ability to remember every dent has been told to Siegel more than once.

In addition to these few people, behind them there are a full entourage of four people. Dwarf Erint organized every aspect of the adventure, including planning and buying equipment, and, of course, hiring an entourage—including a coachman, camp guards, messengers, and a servant who could cook. These four followers are all from the Gem Clan and have been working for Erint, they can be trusted.

The eight men set off at dawn, descending from the slow path of Mora's summit. The messenger was at the front of the line, his white coat embroidered with the golden crest of the noble nobles at the heart of the Gem clan. So everyone else they met - as long as they knew what the badge meant - got out of the way and let them go first.

They went down a lot faster, and they bought a carriage, two mules and a horse halfway up the mountain. The coachman came in handy, he drove forward, allowing the adventurers to rest. The messenger ran forward and back on horseback, not only for reconnaissance, but also for arranging the inn.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, they turned to the north and followed the edge of the mountain. The tall peaks stood on their west side, so every afternoon they were shrouded in darkness, and sometimes they even had to hold torches to advance.

The tall mountains block the sunlight, which is also a difficult environment for the plants living around. Many places are bare and no grass grows, and some low-lying places are even covered with moss that can only be found in caves. There is no farmland and few people live here, but some mining farms are opened here. Miners collect large stones, make building materials, and make a living from them. Their lives are monotonous and boring, and they can barely make ends meet after a hard day. So these people are always working hard with their heads down, ignoring the passing Siegel and his party.

Before entering this wilderness, the servants and the coachman had already filled the carriage with food that was easy to store. They would first eat some perishable vegetables and carefully calculate the water they drank. Dio the barbarian, Erint the dwarf, and Siegel are all big-bellied men, and they must control their diets and eat only the smallest amount.

"You can't be careless when you're on an adventure," said the dwarf Erint.

After walking for another two days, I left the mining area. It is too far from the main road, and transportation is difficult, so it is difficult to maintain a livelihood in mining. The road that used to be able to race horses has become a trail. This area is sometimes haunted by hunters, as well as herb gatherers, who have made a path in the bare ground. Beasts began to appear, most commonly the mountain fox, who liked to ambush their prey and could eat anything when they were hungry. These foxes are very cunning, so they know how to measure the danger and dare not attack the convoy. Elf Leia didn't bother to care about them either.

Going forward again, the uphill road begins again—or along the dry mountain valley, or the valley bottom washed by mudslides, slowly advancing, and everyone comes down to assist the cart. Elf Leia has a light body and can quickly climb to a high place, observe the surrounding situation, and guard the carriage as a sentinel.

They found a flat place to camp and rest at night. The cook prepared food for them, the messenger and the guard set up tents, and the coachman took care of the livestock. Three strong warriors chopped firewood. The wood here is tough and hard, and it takes a long time for the trees to grow a little, so they are extra strong, and fortunately, they are also very hot. Half of the night sky was a dark shadow, the majestic Mora Mountains, blocking the moon behind; only the other side of the night sky was full of stars. The wind whistled in the valley, but it couldn't suppress the barbarian's snoring. Siegel was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep, so he got up and moved,

There are two other people awake, the guard and the dwarf Erint. They were in charge of keeping watch until the end of the elf meditation in the middle of the night.

"Would you like something to drink, young man!" The dwarf sat by the fire and greeted, "Drink some hot tea to drive away the cold!"

"I'll be there in a minute." Siegel waved at him, then took off the leather armor, put on the breastplate again, and took his weapons. It was the habit Sir Bill had made him develop. When in the wild, as long as you get up, you must be fully armed to deal with emergencies.

The tea has a bitter taste and is very difficult to swallow. It's not really tea at all, just using specialized herbs to remove dirt from the water to get water that is safe to drink in the wild.

"Elint, haven't you left Mora's Peak for a long time? Are you homesick?" Siegel held a teacup in both hands, sat by the bonfire, and asked the dwarf, "I noticed that you were on your way here. Look back often, and sometimes you stare at the top of the mountain for a long time, and you may not realize it.”

"Yes, boy, you're right, I haven't left the cave for a long time, you know? When the cold wind blows outside, I suddenly feel young again, which is almost forgotten for 3 years. Feeling, but this is not homesickness, just some emotion!"

Erinte patted Siegel on the shoulder, then smiled, "Son, don't let us old guys affect your mood, I just stayed in the cave for too long and didn't come out to exercise, even for a long time. I haven't even picked up a hammer to make a weapon. This breastplate on your body, I failed twice to assemble it, which was unimaginable before. Do you know what I was called before? Erinte - hammer Press! Turns out now I'm hammering every day, not in the forge, but stamping seals on endless papers and letters. You're still young, Siegel, and you still have plenty to do Time to enjoy, to be adventurous, to fight, to find excitement, the best time of a lifetime!”

"Alint, I was happy when I was at sea, and I thought it would go on forever, but when the old captain was gone, I knew the joy was over. Now I'm on an adventure with you, and I'm very Happy, but it doesn't seem like it can last forever."

"Don't be so sentimental, you're not that old yet! When you get married and give birth to a whole bunch of cubs, they'll be running around to get you into trouble until you get an arrow in the knee, UU read www. uukanshu.com can no longer venture outside, only in the living room by the fireplace, you are qualified to be sentimental!"

"I can't imagine life like that!"

"Yeah boy, you can only see everything through time, there is no other shortcut. Before that, you can think of something else, like treasure, a lot of treasure. Siegel, how do you feel about my life, I How's your wealth?"

"It's like a king!" Siegel thought for a while, then said, "Sometimes I listen to the king's poems sung by bards in the tavern, and their lives are just like yours."

"After this adventure is completed, you can also live such a life. I'm not joking at all. Dragon Lion Cliff is the luck of the four of us." The dwarf narrowed his eyes, and his beard kept shaking with laughter.

"How were these treasures discovered? I've never heard the story."

"15 years ago, I became the third spokesperson of the family and acquired the Longshiya property at the same time. I didn't care at all at that time, and I never thought about taking care of this territory, so I forgot about it. Then. Until four years ago, when Dio heard about it, he urged us to go see it together. The elf found the stairs to the cave. Sir Bill fought the gatekeeper golem to get me into the cave. I probably After understanding the situation inside, I looked for the long-lived dwarf Mengka to calculate the way to safely enter and exit the gate—you already know this. Later, we jointly paid for a watchtower on the road leading to the mountain to ensure our wealth. It won't be disturbed. The Mora family guards it, and you'll see the watchtower in another day."
