"I will remember your kindness, tips and encouragement in my heart. I will not let you down and will not disappoint you!"

After just holding hands, I swung my wrist every year, as if I threw away a torn rag, but I couldn't shake the goosebumps all over my arms:

"No, no, no, the matter here has nothing to do with me. I am neither a dwarf nor live here. When the world is in chaos in the future, I will just go to the Feathers Forest to watch the fun, and I will never worry."

The respectful dwarf prince Rudolph squeezed out a little dry laughing and pulled the collar uncomfortably.

The person who came to teach himself to implement his beliefs and find new vitality for the dwarves before seemed to be the elf in front of him who looked disgusted and wished he could immediately get rid of his burden?

The clothes that civilians often wear are not that soft, especially the cuffs, necklines and elbows. In order to extend their service life under years of wear, a layer is often thickened. These thickened parts are even rougher for Rudolph, such as wearing shackles, which makes your wrists and neck hurt.

Originally, Fern prepared high-quality clothes and accessories for the noble Prince His Highness, but Rudolph insisted on sharing the joys and sorrows with everyone. Even the stretcher that Fern ordered people to work hard to make was given to a miner whose leg was smashed. Now he is wearing only a cloth dress and two legs, intending to walk with everyone to a new place of residence.

According to the information every year, the big cities in the western part of the Dwarf Kingdom have been flooded with the news of war. At the moment, only some remote towns and towns on the east side are still stable. These small towns with relatively insufficient resources are not satisfied with the exploitation of the big cities, and most of the supporters of Prince Rudolph come from these places.

Although he lost his noble status and had lost his years of operation in the royal capital, he also had more freedom and no longer had to please the nobles for balance.

only......

"The backbone of the Dwarf Kingdom is always our knights, warriors and craftsmen."

The day before yesterday, when visiting Rudolph every year, Dursineya was worried and said to the emperor after hearing his encouragement to the prince every year.

Naturally, it is impossible for the backbone of these players to be all players, but players are all scattered among these three professions and have considerable influence on the situation. It is probably not that easy for Rudolph to fight against the Dwarf King.

Nian Nian also admitted: "Indeed, from the perspective of fun and substitution, there is a world of difference between expanding territory and reclaiming wasteland."

Durcinia pursed her lips. Every year means that for players, confrontational activities like war are always more attractive.

This is the truth. She is actually very interested in the upcoming large-scale confrontation. She spent a lot of time and money to raise Xiaoxue. Isn’t it just to become a master that all players envy?

"There are always some who are not interested in war, lazy, or who develop some compassion in the middle of the war, and you don't have to be so pessimistic." Every year comforted.

"Apart from optimism and confidence, we don't have any better way to deal with it now," Rudolf also advised.

Durcinia raised her eyes, looked at Rudolph, and her pursed lips bent: "From personal charm, I still like you more."

"This is my honor." Although he was lying down and resting, Rudolph still gave a gentlemanly greeting.

"Although it's only a short period of time, it's my honor to be your Highness's escort."

Durcinia knelt on one knee, put her right fist in her heart, and said seriously.

Rudolph's smile stiffened for a moment. He had already helped Dulsineya up every year and teased:

"I think you are quite envious of the Knights on the Human Race's side?"

"Yes————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"cy!" Durcinia stared at Niannian with her eyes lit up.

"Sorry, my princess is there."

Every Nian reached out and Durcinia glared at Qi Youfeng fiercely, and was ignored by the man inexplicably.

"The relationship between the two is so good." Rudolph looked interesting and smiled.

Niannian and Durcinia both thought Rudolph had praised him correctly, and they also felt that this person was indeed very good at speaking and must not be so easy to be defeated.

......

After seeing off the dwarf prince and Cherbourg survivors escorted by Durcinia, Niannian and Qi Youfeng also embarked on the road to trek to Usher.

When you trek through mountains and rivers, the dwarf kingdom located deep underground is naturally not as many mountains and rivers, but there are even more turbulent waves.

“There are no hotels and restaurants here that open.”

The two walked from the east to the west of the city. Apart from the conscription, they could no longer find a passionate and open door. Even the wells in the city were loaded with sheds. As long as someone approached, the guards in charge would stand in front of them with an axe. They would not let them go without saying a reason to drink water.

This is the fifth town they have passed by. Every year, the two of them wanted to take a break, eat something and have a good night's sleep.

"I'm almost hungry, who is willing to entertain guests?"

Qi Youfeng found a stairs to sit down and ate dry food that he had not moved for a long time.

He took off his mask every year and took out a handful of stone fluorescent flowers. Qi Youfeng hid in a reflexive manner. Seeing that he was eating with his head down every year and enjoying it, he felt that the broken dry food was hard to eat.

"Where did you two come from? Why are you eating in public?" Several beggar-like dwarves quickly surrounded him and accused him sternly.

"Because we are hungry, because we have food to eat." Every year, I didn't even raise my eyelids, so it was no wonder.

"Sister? Sister!" A child came in between the beggar's legs and knelt in front of Nian Nian. "I'm hungry, too, I have no food to eat."

"Oh." Niannian slowly licked his fingertips and raised his hand, "There is food to eat at the recruitment office."

"You, why are you so vicious? Aren't people like us just like cannon fodder?"

The beggars said angrily, and they reached out to grab every year's hood.

brush--

A sensational sword light held the offensive action of these people. Qi Youfeng turned his back, and the back of the knife turned into a blade, and a thin blood line appeared on the beggars' wrists.

Hula—

"These people ran fast," commented every year.

"Bullying the weak and afraid of the strong," Qi Youfeng took back his knife, "It's better than what I encountered in the previous town, and I'm afraid of life for the sake of stuttering."

"That's because the beggars in the town are real beggars. These beggars... they are not very hungry yet."

Along the way, they summed up three levels of hunger:

Hungry, so shameless that you are too hungry, so hungry that you are desperate.

"Looking at the guards here, the situation seems not particularly bad yet." Qi Youfeng swallowed the brown rice with difficulty and started to think of Jingshui.

"Snatch it?" Niannian asked with her head tilted.

"You want to ask you, do you want to play?"

Qi Youfeng still stuffed himself with dry food, no matter whether the thing tastes good or not, it would be enough to fill the numerical gap.

"The order in this town is maintained well, and it's troublesome to play."

Every year I looked at the expressions of pedestrians on the street, a little sad and helpless, but I was not panicked yet, and I didn’t even take all creatures as the enemy’s vigilance.

In the next town, up to the next town, that is the expression they see the most.

Everyone is the jungle, huddling in the streets and alleys to search for anything that can fill your stomach, while the real strong man has already forced all the food and resources to sit in the big house and enjoy it comfortably.

"I thought the Dwarf King would take some measures to maintain domestic stability." Qi Youfeng said.

The Ruby Grand Duke's stability maintenance measures were managed to make things silently. It would be fine if the Dwarf King did not have the vision of the Grand Duke, but why didn't he even have some urgent wisdom and iron-blooded skills?

"Maybe some special reason is that he lets him deal with it for the time being. Maybe he is just waiting for these people to be hungry and work hard for him? Or do he remove the elderly, weak, sick and disabled who cannot survive like raising a Gu?"

In fact, in every Nian's view, this has more and more verified her conjecture and is more and more satisfied with her active cooperation.

If you have time, why not go to Adam to ask for some bonus?

"If you let go of this, players don't have to worry, for the time being." Qi Youfeng said.

Compared with civilian NPCs, players' martial power is indeed enough to ensure that they have enough food and clothing, but there are also differences between players. In a period when internal conflicts have not yet been completely transformed into external conflicts, who knows whether they will come up with a game version of the Jungle Law.

Speaking of which, when will the Dwarf King officially declare war?

"Everyone comes from a modern civilized society and will not lose morality and principles just because of the things in the game." Niannian replied with confidence.

"This," Qi Youfeng saw her expectations, "it's not necessarily."

"Well, not necessarily, anything can happen."

He ate all his food stored every year, put on a mask, got up and wrapped himself tightly with his cloak. Qi Youfeng also collected the dry food, shook the residue to the ground, and looked at her as if inquiring.

"I have nothing to eat, let's go to the next town to grab some."

"good."

......

Overall, I am still very sensible and well-behaved throughout the journey every year.

In those towns that have fallen into chaos, she will quickly integrate into it and pick out the big household with the most stockpiling of grain to come to her door.

If it is NPC, it will be intimidating. If it is a player, it will be at the resurrection point and discuss it carefully. After eating and drinking with Qi Youfeng, it will leave. By the way, it will help the angry insults and give those towns a chance to redistribute resources.

The strong prey on the weak. The strong swing the sword at the weak, and the weak swing the sword at the weaker. They think they are stronger every year, and of course they don’t bother to compete with the beggars.

Fortunately, they specialize in traveling in small towns. With the talent of the thief every year and the experience of Qi Youfeng as a bandit, they occasionally have some bumps, but they are also a pleasure to have.

In those towns where order is still there, every year I will become the best citizens who abide by the law and will neither add fuel to the fire nor secretly raise trouble, come quietly and leave quietly.

At this time, everyone is generally more concerned about their own affairs. Every year, these two tall aliens did not attract too much attention. They just approached the border line smoothly and were able to leave the dwarf kingdom soon.

"I have been to this place, and many mercenary groups are active here, and most of them are players in general."

At the end of the long team entering the city, Nian leaned against Qi Youfeng and whispered.

"It feels like a big city," Qi Youfeng looked up, looked at the long-lost blue sky and white clouds, and sighed, "I finally came out."

"This is the closest dwarf city to Usher, and it is also the only big city in the dwarf kingdom built on the ground. There are many semi-underground towns on the border." Nian Nian introduced.

"The closest to the city of Usher, that is, the closest to the human race and the elves?"
