Thorne, as the prince among the dwarves, is actually quite outstanding in height and appearance.Generally speaking, the height of a dwarf ranges from 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters, and 1.2 meters is the norm.Relatively speaking, Thorne, who is about 1.5 meters tall, already stands out from the crowd.

Of course, compared with Joe, who is 1.6 meters tall, he is still a bit short, after all, the breed is different.

It stands to reason that the house of the tall Thorn, who is rare among the dwarves, should also be the largest and tallest among the dwarves, but this is not the case.The house located in the east is just the shortest and most dilapidated among all the houses. Even the mud on the outside has not been brushed well, and there are pieces here and there. One look at it shows that the owner has not worked hard at all and is playing tricks.

A dwarf prince's house made to look like a goblin is also drunk...

But what kind of house people like to build is their own freedom, even if he puts a snail shell on the ground, it is not up to Joe's business.So Joe stood obediently at the gate like a real guest, and knocked politely three times.

knock knock knock.

no respond.

Joe knocked three more times, but there was still no sound from inside.So Joe knocked thirty more times, three hundred times, and the succession of knocking and knocking caused many dwarves to come out and stare.Jo actually wanted to knock three thousand times more, but she always felt that those dwarves seemed to want to beat her up. When she was hesitating, Thorne walked over from a distance carrying a wooden stick and wearing a red scarf around his neck.

Jo was overjoyed to see him, and rushed forward to greet him, and tried to express her excitement by grabbing his paw and shouting "Comrade, you are back", knowing that the dwarves watching her saw the door knocked down Some people have gone back to the house to get a knife after painting.However, Thorne seemed to have a strange attitude. He raised his eyebrows and stared at Jo, intentionally avoided her from the side, and walked in a big circle to his room.

Joe, who usually has little eyesight, didn't notice his alienation-or if she did, she would pretend not to know-and quickly blocked Thorne's way at the door.

"Thorn!" she cried, "as we agreed, I have brought you something!"

Thorn raised his eyebrows slightly, his face was stained with dust, and there were a few bloodstains drawn by branches or other things, but none of this damaged his majesty.Different from the aloofness and powerful coercion of the elf king, this dwarf prince who is a little shorter than Joe has a strange vicissitudes of life-even though he looks very young.His expression is usually serious and unsmiling. Even though he was blocked by Joe twice at the moment, he didn't show any unswerving expression. He just stood there indifferently and said:

"I don't remember any intersection with humans, let alone any agreement."

"Thorn, she said she owed you money, and she's here to pay you back!" a gray-bearded dwarf shouted from a distance.

Thorne raised his eyes when he heard the words, Joe saw that the other dwarves were still there and wanted to call for something, so he hurriedly said: "Ah yes yes, I am indeed here to pay back the money, there is a flower deer, please come and pay me back Here you are!" She said, reaching into her bosom, took out the gold coin and spread it in the palm of her hand, showing it to Thorn.

Thorne glanced condescendingly into the palm of her hand, and his eyes froze immediately.He reached out to grab the gold coin back, but Joe withdrew his hand faster than him, and pressed the gold coin to his chest. At the same time, he stretched out his other hand and said, "Before you take this thing, I hope we can get it." The reward that was promised before."

"I don't remember ever discussing any payment with you," Thorne said. "You mean the deer sent you? Where's the deer?"

"The deer has something to do, so I asked me to come and help me." Qiao said, "In short, it's fine when the gold coins are delivered. Isn't it the same for everyone?"

"That's different," cried a dwarf. "A deer is a deer, and you are you!"

"That's right. I've seen the deer that I made an agreement with Thorne. It's a good deer. Maybe you killed it to get the deer's things!"

"Thorn, this guy is not a good person! Just now she deliberately went to my door to ask for directions, and then peeped at my wife through the crack of the door! Don't believe her!"

The dwarves not far away began to shout, and a pile of inexplicable dirty water was poured on Joe's head. The most frightening thing was that Thorne also began to look at Joe suspiciously.These dwarves are even more suspicious than the Elf King!Joe really had no choice but to tell the truth: "I won't hide it from you, in fact, I am the deer from before."

As soon as the words came out, the dwarves screamed like crazy, and everyone said that the human was lying, and the lie was exposed, so they started talking nonsense.The buzzing shouts made Thorne start to feel upset too. He roared loudly, frightened the dwarves and asked Joe, "You said the deer sent you, but what evidence do you have?"

This guy just ignored the latter sentence.But Joe couldn't come up with any good evidence, so he had to turn his wand around and cast a polymorph on his leg, turning his left leg into a hoof and showing it to Thorne.As a result, Thorne yanked off the burden on the wooden stick and pointed one end at Joe, shouting, "Stand back! This guy is a half-orc!"

All the dwarves took a step back, and some even ran towards their houses, looking for weapons.Joe also found that her actions had the opposite effect. This time she didn't dare to use Transfiguration indiscriminately, but instead chanted the Animagus spell she had practiced before.This spell was difficult to use. Joe tried several times, and finally succeeded in transforming into a big-horned deer. Although the density of spots was slightly different from the deer transformed by drinking the medicine before, the overall appearance was still the same.

After she turned into a deer, the serious expression on Thorne's face finally loosened. He stared in shock at the deer in wizard robes, watching it mumbling words.Soon, the deer's four hooves became thicker, the body leaned back, the antlers softened and turned into supple brown curly hair, and the gray fur turned into human skin. The girl with green eyes appeared in front of Thorne again.

"I really am the deer," said Joe.

The weapons in the hands of the dwarves fell all over the ground, and many of them hit their feet directly, causing a howl of wailing.Thorne looked shocked. He looked Joe up and down. Although he couldn't believe it, after some psychological struggle, he still accepted the fact and showed a rare smile on his face.

"It's really you," he said, "I can't believe it, you've fulfilled our agreement."

"Of course, I spent a lot of effort." Seeing his change of attitude, Joe also breathed a sigh of relief.She fumbled the gold coin out of her dress again and showed it to Thorne.Thorn asked for her opinion with his eyes, expressing that he wanted to pick up the gold coin to have a look, but Joe hesitated for a moment and didn't stop, letting the dwarf prince hold the gold coin high up towards the sun, carefully inspecting the dwarf's head on it, and finally The smile on his face widened, and he said to the dwarves: "Put away your weapons, this is our hero! She brought us back the precious memories of the dwarves—the golden coin of the flame!"

"Oh oh oh!" The dwarves cheered one after another, all the previous suspicions and doubts were swept away, and what they showed at this moment was genuine joy and excitement.Jo was also infected by this joy, but she did not forget the purpose of her coming, and after the cheers of the dwarves ended, she asked: "I found the gold coin, can you return the pocket to me now? "

"Pocket?" Thorne was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and picked up the bag that he threw on the ground when he was on alert just now, and handed it over.Joe looked at the torn sack with black bread and a bowl and a cup in it, and said dejectedly, "Not this one!"

"Then whose pocket do you want?" Thorne asked.He thought for a while, and shouted to the dwarves behind, "Take out your pockets and let Miss Lu choose one!"

"I'm not talking about their pockets either!" Joe's forehead burst into blue veins, "Have you forgotten? When you caught me, you got a pocket on me with a bow tied on it, with a red The pocket with the bow! The one you couldn't open!"

"..." There was a hint of hesitation in Thorne's expression.He reached out his hand and gestured towards his room: "This matter is a long story. If Miss Lu doesn't mind, we can go into the room and discuss it in detail."

"My name is not Deer. My name is Joe Field."

"My name is Thorne."

"……I know."

After ducking his head into Thorne's hut, the dwarf prince found a stool to entertain Jo, and told her what had happened during the month or so she had been at home.Jo was not interested in most of them, and she didn't listen carefully. The only thing that really caught her ear was Thorne who went to the Lonely Mountain to investigate a few days ago, but fell down on the mountain, and the pocket disappeared after getting up. up.

"It was indeed an accident." Thorne looked a little embarrassed, "In fact, I haven't fallen for several years, even when I was fighting a half-orc." But he quickly declared that he could Tomorrow, I will go up the mountain with Joe to look for it.Thorne said that he didn't expect Joe to come back with gold coins, and he thought she would run away immediately when she was free.Dwarves have always promised their friends, and they will never betray their friends.He'd help Joe get the pocket back anyway!

"But why don't we go to-day?" asked Jo, who was always afraid that something might happen to Pocket in the mountains.

"That place is very high, and it's a little off." Thorne replied, "If we go now, we may have to sleep on the mountain. There are wolves there, which is more dangerous. And if we do that, we will miss tonight's banquet .”

"banquet?"

"Of course. When friends from far away come to visit, why don't the dwarves hold a feast for her?"

The sun sets quickly, and the silver moon rises in the west.With the sky dotted with stars, the dwarves lit a bonfire and roasted large pieces of meat on the fire.These meats contain many kinds, but only venison is not included.There are many tables set up in front of the house, all in a row, with large plates of cheese, sausages, grilled fish and baked potatoes and so on.Although the dishes are monotonous, the quantity is very sufficient.Jo was surrounded and sat at the table. Many dwarves surrounded her and played music with flutes, harps and even teapots. Although the music was not as ethereal and beautiful as the elves' playing, it was also very joyous and pleasant. There were even some male and female dwarves surrounding her. The bonfire danced.

Jo had attended many banquets before, but whether it was in England or Middle-earth, this was the first time someone held a banquet just for her, which made her very happy.The bad mood of being bullied and doubted by the dwarfs disappeared, and he happily sang with them and danced with a dwarf boy.The dwarf guy was only as tall as her neck, so he simply danced the women's step by himself and asked Joe to dance the man's step. Did he pretend to be charming and wink at the other dwarves, causing several dwarves to come over and kick his ass.

When everyone was having fun, they heard the sound of ding ding dong dong coming from Joe's wizard robe, and they couldn't help but look this way curiously.Joe himself was a little surprised, and reached out to touch it, only to find that the sound came from the wand.For some reason, the wand kept moving around in her clothes, and hit the sapphire ring hanging around her neck, making a strange sound.Jo tried to fiddle with it a few times, but found that the wand was still moving. Finally, she put the ring on the wand and put it on the table, and the movement of the wand finally stopped.

It would have been better if it had been like this earlier, it would affect her dancing.

The dwarves are simple and honest, and no one will touch her things, so Jo put the wand and ring on the table, and continued to dance and have fun with everyone.But what she didn't know was that on the opposite side of Changhu Lake, which was separated by a river, a tall figure suddenly raised his head.

The moment the wand was caught by the ring, the telepathy between him and the wand suddenly stopped!The Elf King could clearly feel that an evil force blocked his detection.

And that power is echoing with the lonely mountain!
