Chapter 753: The Truth
After yelling hysterically, Evelyn was deeply embarrassed by her gaffe.
She lowered her head, took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm down the excitement as soon as possible.
"My grievances with the dwarf prospecting team have to start from half a month ago."
"At that time, this group of dwarves was exploring for ore veins in the middle of the Nida Mountains, and a survey point they selected happened to be near my lair."
"The dwarves are banging and digging holes all day long, and the noise makes me irritated."
"What makes me even more unbearable is that a tunnel dug by the dwarves happened to pass through the underground river!"
"If they continue to dig according to the progress of the project, the river water will pour into my lair along the mine pit and flood my homeland!"
"In order to keep my home, I had to go to the dwarves and tell them frankly that they were wasting their efforts."
"No one knows the situation near my home better than me. That generation didn't have any mineral veins at all, and the dwarves dug indiscriminately. Not only would they not be able to make a fortune, but they would also cause my lair to be destroyed by floods."
"I warned the dwarves with good intentions, stop the meaningless exploration work as soon as possible, they can save some effort, and I can live a stable life again."
"Unfortunately I was wrong."
"The mistake is that you shouldn't be too frank, you shouldn't try to convince the stubborn dwarves to admit their mistakes, and you shouldn't deal with them as a shapeshifting spider."
"This group of narrow-minded dwarves not only refused my kind persuasion, but also laughed at me as an 'ugly monster', slandered me with bad intentions, and even tried to kill me!"
"I almost died in the dwarf camp that day, and I managed to escape."
"Since the abominable dwarf treats me in such a rough way, then don't blame me for playing tricks!"
"I went back to my lair, healed my wounds, turned into a young girl, and went to the dwarf camp again. I forged the identity of a female college student for myself, and used lies to win the trust of the dwarves. I don't need to tell you what happened afterwards. We all know."
"If you ask me, what do you think of this matter?"
"First of all, I have to admit that I am really not a good person. I did trick the dwarves to go to Spider Valley to die."
"However, I will never admit that I am guilty!"
"I have the right to seek justice from the dwarves for the insult and damage I have suffered, even by any means!"
Evelyn's chest heaved violently, tears rolled in her eyes, and she couldn't speak any more excitedly.
Joan sighed secretly.
Based on what he knew about the dwarves, Evelyn's justification was probably true.
Stubborn, arrogant, rude, impatient and irritable.
Most dwarves will indeed give people such a stereotype.
However, on closer inspection, this is not a unique shortcoming of the dwarves.
If it was a human expedition that dealt with Evelyn back then, the result would probably be the same.
After hearing Evelyn's confession, Audrey's face softened, and Holden and Hyrule made no secret of their sympathy for her.
If this is the truth, then Evelyn shouldn't bear all the responsibility for the grievances between Evelyn and the dwarves.
"I have no other questions, how about you?"
Audrey looked back at Joan, Hyrule and Holden.
"Is there anything else you want to say to Evelyn?"
"I have a question!"
Hailar quickly raised his hand.
"Evelyn, you just admitted that you are a shapeshifting spider. In other words, you are at least close relatives with those mutant spiders in Spider Valley, and phase spiders, right?"
"Since you are all spiders, it stands to reason that you should have a good relationship. Why did you lure the dwarves into the spider's lair, intentionally lead the two sides to fight each other, and then offered to help us eliminate the remaining spiders in the lair, even the spider eggs? Isn't that true?" Is it contradictory?"
Hailar's question happened to be a question that Joan couldn't figure out, and she looked forward to Evelyn's answer.
"The guys in Spider Valley and I do have similarities in physiological structure. If we think that we are biologically close relatives, I can't refute it."
"However, are creatures of the same race sure to be able to love each other?"
Evelyn shook her head and sneered, and then asked an unusually sharp rhetorical question.
"In my eyes, you humans and the lizardmen belong to the same kind of creatures, why can't you get along with each other?"
Haila was suddenly embarrassed and speechless.
The troglodytes and humans belong to the same humanoid category, even more similar than shapeshifting spiders and phase spiders. The two sides still can't live in harmony. It's strange that Evelyn is hostile to phase spiders.
Even within human society, there are innumerable conflicts between different nations and countries. The conflicts that break out within human beings are frequent and violent, even surpassing the wars between human beings against alien races.
"I hate dwarves, and I hate those guys in Spider Valley. I don't feel guilty at all for instigating them to fight each other."
Evelyn sighed, a look of regret in her eyes.
"It's a pity that I was too complacent and exposed my true intentions in front of the dwarves, but there was a dwarf Scholz who escaped from the spider's lair alive, forcing me to avoid the dwarf prospecting team, lest these dwarves would come to find me hatred."
"Especially after meeting you, I have added another layer of worry. I am afraid that you will meet Scholz and expose my true colors."
"So in the past few days, you always intentionally or unintentionally lured us away from the dwarven prospecting team, just because you didn't want to meet Scholz and the others?" Hailar asked.
Evelyn nodded guiltily.
Reluctantly, people are not as good as God, and everyone finally met the dwarf prospecting team unexpectedly in the Qingbing mining area, which caused her lies to be exposed in public and had to flee the dwarf camp.
"I have nothing more to say."
Hailar turned to look at Holden and cast an encouraging look.
"Little rascal, you have the deepest friendship with Evelyn. You must have a lot of things you want to say to her. It's too disrespectful to pretend to be dumb until now!"
Holden shook his head with bitterness on his face.
It is precisely because the feelings are the deepest, the hurt is also deeper, and it is impossible to take it calmly.
"What I want to know, you have asked Evelyn just now, and now I have nothing to say, I just want to ask you not to embarrass Evelyn."
"Lies and deceit really hurt people, but Evelyn has no malicious intentions after all, not to mention that she has helped us a lot these days when we are traveling together."
"I hope that everyone can forgive her mistakes, give her a chance to start a new life, and still be friends in the future."
Holden's pleading moved Evelyn so much that she couldn't help crying.
Joan and Hailar exchanged glances, and they both agreed with Holden's proposal from the bottom of their hearts.
