Chapter 757
Joan ran until the corpse of the frost lizard he trampled to death before stopping.
Hastily cast the "shrinking technique" on the corpse, then dug out the palm-sized frost lizard corpse from the ice hole, stuffed it into the backpack quickly, and ran back.
Holden watched Joan running back and forth the whole time. Seeing that he dared to go back at such a fatal moment, and his mind was full of specimen collection, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.
Others are at best doing research with their heart, but Qiao An is risking his life!
What a lunatic!
At this moment, the teleportation light appeared beside Joan again, and the dwarf uncle Klein Furnace, a solid and reliable figure like a rock, arrived as promised.
"Folks, come with me!"
Klein grabbed the wrists of the young mage and the poet respectively, and opened the "any door", and the figures of the three disappeared in the radiant magic power.
When the large group of frost lizards arrived, the teleportation light had already dimmed, and there wasn't even a hair left for them.
...
Outside the mine pit, Audrey, Hyrule, and Scholz were waiting anxiously.
Hailar couldn't help but wanted to run back to the mine pit to meet Joan and Holden who had been late, but was held back by Audrey.
Audrey's mood is not as relaxed as that of Hailar, but she can at least maintain rationality, knowing that staying outside the mine pit and waiting is the best choice they can make at present.
The anxious waiting seemed to last for a century.
The exit of the mine finally rose to transmit light, and the figure they were eager to see emerged from it.
"Little girl, uncle, I mean what I say, and this will bring your friends back!"
Klein Furnace, laughing and walking out of any door.
Audrey and Hailar hurried up to look at Joan and Holden, and they were relieved when they saw that they were both safe and sound.
Scholz also came over, and came to Joan and the others with a little embarrassment, thanking him for saving his life.
Facing the grateful Scholz, Audrey keenly sensed that this is the best time to resolve the grievances, and of course she would not miss it.
"Mr. Scholz, to be frank, before we met you and Mr. Klein in the mine, we had met Evelyn once and learned the whole story from her."
"Evelyn visited the dwarven camp with her true colors before she deceived you with the image of a girl. I implore you and your colleagues to consider her interests while doing exploration work, and don't let the underground river wash away her lair. , is this true?"
Audrey's questioning was neither humble nor overbearing, and she spontaneously revealed an aura that was neither angry nor arrogant.
Scholz blushed and was speechless for a moment.
Perhaps he is the most typical dwarf in Evelyn's mouth: stubborn, impatient, arrogant, and desperate for face.
These shortcomings are true, but dwarves also have admirable virtues.
Such as loyalty, firmness, tenacity, word of mouth, and of course gratitude.
No matter how much Scholz cares about face, he cannot ignore the facts in front of his savior, let alone a paladin who is good at identifying lies.
Facing Audrey's awe-inspiring gaze, he could only nod in shame, admitting that what Evelyn said was true.
"Now that the facts are clear, I don't think either of you will deny that each of you is partly to blame for this conflict of personal regrets."
"It is indeed as you say, my dear lady."
Scholz replied shyly.
"Evelyn has made a promise to us that she will never take the initiative to trouble the dwarves in the future."
"Mr. Scholz, logically speaking, I have no right to ask you to make a reciprocal promise. However, Evelyn and the dwarf are our friends. I don't want to see the two of you forming an enmity because of a momentary misunderstanding."
"Mr. Scholz, just now you said that you are very grateful for our life-saving grace. With all due respect, in fact, we don't need your thanks, but Evelyn needs your understanding more than anyone else at this moment."
"May the glory of my lord Pelor dispel the haze in your eyes, and turn the resentment in your heart into forgiveness."
Audrey's earnest words seemed to have some kind of touching sacred power, and even a stubborn dwarf like Scholz couldn't help but be moved by it.
"As you wish, respectable lady, as long as that Spider Woman doesn't appear in front of me again, I promise I won't take the initiative to trouble her."
Although reluctant, Scholz finally accepted Audrey's mediation and gave up the idea of seeking revenge on Evelyn.
Audrey felt relieved, and turned her head to take a deep look at Holden.
Holden scratched his head in embarrassment, not daring to meet his sister's eyes.
Of course he knew that Audrey worked hard to win the dwarf's understanding for Evelyn, mainly for his younger brother, so that he would not worry about Evelyn's safety.
Holden has become accustomed to taking care of his sister.
Ever since he was a child, every time he got into trouble, he would always ask Audrey to help him clean up the mess afterwards, and he was so worried about him as a younger brother.
Joan noticed the eye contact between the Zion siblings and envied the deep relationship between the siblings, but also had a deeper understanding of Audrey.
If you only look at her usual attitude towards her younger brother, she is indeed suspected of being overbearing.
But when Holden got into trouble, the only one he could really rely on was his elder sister, Audrey.
"Okay, children, don't mention the past grievances again, now we should have a good drink or two, and celebrate the escape from death!"
Uncle Klein's hearty laughter enlivened the atmosphere, and he immediately called Joan and the others to return to the camp and hosted a banquet for the young friends.
Joan and the others didn't eat and drink for nothing, they took out the cave fishing crab plasma collected earlier and shared it with their dwarf friends.
The dwarven wine mixed with cave crab plasma has a hotter and more exciting taste, which is the best catalyst for deepening friendship.
There is no contradiction, and a glass of crab blood wine cannot be solved.
If so, make another drink!
Because of the conflict between Scholz and Evelyn, there were some cracks in the relationship between Joan and the dwarf prospecting team. After toasting and drinking crab blood wine, even this crack disappeared. The atmosphere became unprecedentedly warm.
Joan didn't like this kind of strong wine with a strong bloody smell, but seeing that the crab blood wine helped him and his companions regain the trust of the dwarves, it was also considered a meritorious minister, so he joined in the fun and drank two more glasses.
Unexpectedly, these two cups of "meritorious ministers" were really rude to him.
The ferocious strength of alcohol rushed straight to his forehead, almost knocking him down on the spot!
Klein originally wanted to discuss with Joan while drinking, how to deal with the group of nasty frost lizards in the mine.
But look at the posture of the mage brother...
Why do you keep drilling under the table?
It's over! Must be too drunk to find the north!
Brother, you really can't drink enough!
