A stream, a snake and a long-awaited find!
- It must be! There lived a tube of crystals! I shouldn't have come all this way!
"Master, the meat is almost ready!"
"Sir, your lordship, let's leave the search for later, we have not eaten for 2 whole days!"
- Okay, okay, don't whine, let's go, let's see what is still ahead, and then we'll come back, take a break!
The girl tried to get up, but could not ... her arms and legs dangled, she was carried by a black warrior.
She wasn't even scared.
She didn't care. In a moment she was sitting opposite the fat man, next to a large pot, from where a pleasant aroma of delicious food emanated.
The face, body and clothes were clean, the wounds healed, and there was no hunger. The fat man smiled broadly:
- Completely skinny, drink here a decoction of medicinal herbs and vegetables.
The girl looked longingly and greedily at the steaming meat on a large plate.
- Do not be afraid, we will give you meat, and a pipe and a whistle!
- We will feed, we will drink, we will give clothes, we will cure! Let's protect!
- In the meantime, drink the broth to quickly recuperate and be able to eat meat !!!
The girl smiled, for some reason she was not afraid of this fat man! The scouts settled down next to the plate and ate delicious meat.
Black giants in black armor stood guard. The girl, suddenly, looked up at the fat man, he waved his chubby hand in her direction.
- Don't worry, I read everything in your memory. Now they will bring your older brother, he fainted like you, inhaled mine gases.
- Do not be afraid nothing will happen to him!
- I promised you protection? He promised!
- I know, now where do you live, what do you need!
- Helping good people is good for the path of enlightenment, for my path of Tao!
- So do not worry, eat calmly!
The girl just nodded her head. She believed the fat man. Without even understanding his words !!!
A moment later, a very powerful barrier, imperceptible to the eyes of an outsider, descended over the village of dwarfs.
Another place.
1000 adventurers and city guards, could not go outside the city, an invisible wall did not let them out. In front of the lord of the city, at the dining room, a card of the "black guild, shield and sword" appeared from nowhere.
"The last warning"! The lord, was an apparatus worker, was a nobleman for a long time and knew what such a warning meant.
The next would be his head hanging from a spire in his own city. It was enough for him to give the order to immediately withdraw the march to the city village.
The gnome merchant was ordered to undress, pour over resin, dump it in the fluff and lead him all over the city. And then prohibit visiting all the cities of the empire.
The guild of adventurers was fined 10 thousand gold. All those who took part in the unsuccessful campaign, the participants were flogged with a whip, 20 strokes each.
This was the end of the story with the failed conquest of the village!
Never started! In the imperial palace, the emperor and his entourage were wiping off cold sweat! They narrowly escaped destruction! It is good that the imperial family has signed a contract with the black shield and sword guild.
They warned them about the coming catastrophe.
One word from the fat man, scouts and information went to the top of the empire. Tragedy avoided!
The head of the guild, removed from office, the head of the city guard, demoted to a soldier.
The city guards were exiled to the village by peasants for 5 years. The troops from the forest of the elves were recalled, and no contact was made with other human empires and kingdoms.
They were lucky that the main base of the black guild of the shield and the sword was located in their empire "Dawn".
Therefore, they were allowed to live and not evaporate.
The girl, in gratitude, gave the fat man a beautiful crystal, which she found in a mountain underground river when she accidentally fell there.
- Wow! We have been working here for 2 days and have not found anything!
- Girl, you, hero, thank you!
- I made you happy!
- Ahahahahaha!
The fat man laughed out loud. It was, of course, Dara. He beckoned a bone snake with his finger, it crawled up to him, and then opened her mouth.
Dara, put in it, a wonderful crystal, silvery - lilac. Dawn Crystal!
