But the other side has already sold off countless members of their race that Arya was unable to save.
"Gentlemen, it seems you need help?" (Orcish language) Arya asked the merchant in a way that the merchant couldn't understand.
Upon hearing Arya's words, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in the dwarves' lifeless eyes.
Then they began to communicate in a language that Arya couldn't understand;
"Hmm...? Did I hear that right? Was it the language of those barbarians?"
"I don't understand it, but it does sound like it."
"I feel that the pronunciation doesn't sound like something a demon would use."
Arya's soft brows furrowed slightly.
What are you babbling about?
It wasn't that I had any complaints or was complaining about the dwarves; I was simply confused because I couldn't understand their language.
Arya didn't know many demon languages, so she had little time to negotiate, but she could tell that the dwarves weren't speaking a demon language.
Just as a dwarf could tell from her pronunciation habits that she spoke Orcish.
She could also tell from the other person's pronunciation that it wasn't a demon language.
that……
"Need help, everyone?" Arya asked the same question in human language.
At this moment, all the dwarves felt a tremor in their hearts, but they deliberately controlled themselves and did not show any surprise.
They continued to communicate in the dwarven language;
"Elf language?"
“Absolutely right, I understood, she asked us if we needed help.”
"The accent is a bit strange, slightly different from Elvish, but if I'm not mistaken, it is indeed Elvish." 6
An Yi and Irene were able to converse the first time they met because the languages spoken by elves and humans are similar.
There has been speculation that human language and magic originated from elves.
Even a tiny spill of soup from an elf's bowl, falling into the human realm, would be a feast capable of changing civilization.
The elves also have an even more ancient language called "Ancient Elvish," which is completely different from the modern Elvish language.
Naturally, the dwarves wouldn't speak the ancient Elven language.
"Are you... an elf?" one of the dwarves asked hesitantly in Elvish.
He hadn't spoken in a long time, so his tongue was a little tied.
However, Arya still understood, even though the other person's accent was a bit strange.
"I am not an elf, are you demons?" Arya continued to ask in human language.
“Where…are we…like demons?” A dwarf’s old face turned red with embarrassment.
Dwarves are a temperamental race, and after being enslaved for hundreds of years, they were even asked by Arya if they were demons...
warn!warn!
Red and warm!
"Who are you calling a demon, you little brat?" (Dwarven language)
"Forget it, don't bother with a little thing! Short-lived creatures have never seen us before!" (Dwarven language)
Arya thought they were excited and thrilled because they believed someone had come to rescue them.
To her, it sounded like they were saying, "Great! Someone's come to save us!" "We're finally safe!"
"How old are you?" It took a dwarf a while to remember to ask.
Arya: "?"
What do you mean?
How old?
She knew her age, but she didn't know why she was asking her age at this time.
...Oh, right!
Perhaps they thought she looked too young and unreliable?
"I'm thirty," Arya lied without batting an eye, looking quite confident.
Saying thirty is more reasonable, right?!
"Just as I thought, a small thing." (Dwarven language)
"Not as good as me yet {″啎奇,※露{]liu∷驷—￥二雨；HAN: Hammerhead big. (Dwarf language)"
"No wonder they don't recognize us." (Dwarf's words)
Arya didn't understand and thought they were saying, "You're thirty already?" "You still look very young." "Anyway, as long as you're not a child."
So he crossed his arms and nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right."
"She didn't understand a word we were saying, did she?" (Dwarven language)
"Indeed." (Dwarven language)
“Will you…save…us?” one of the dwarves asked again.
"If you're not demons, then what are you?" Arya didn't answer their question directly.
"We are...%￥*￥＃".
"what?"
"@＃￥%＆*%
"?"
He was saying the pronunciation of "dwarves" in Elvish, but Arya had never heard of the term before and couldn't understand it at all.
Incidentally, the "dwarves" that humans have investigated so far use the same pronunciation of "dwarves" as the demon race.
There is no concept of "dwarf" in human language.
Dwarfs are completely out of reach of humans.
"Um... I don't understand. I'll go back and ask. I'll come back later!" Arya said, then turned and ran away.
"???"
The dwarves were also bewildered.
Weren't they here to rescue them? Why did they turn around and run away?
Afterwards, Arya found the several high-level Nightmare succubi who had come with her from Earl's City and explained the situation.
To ensure that the succubi who followed her could assist her, Nightmare also sent some very powerful members.
After listening to Arya's description of the other person, they quickly confirmed the other person's identity.
After all, the only non-demon intelligent creature that fits that set of characteristics is the [dwarf].
After that, the report was submitted to Nightmare.
……
After listening to the whole story, An Yi finally had a clue.
Dwarves have shorter lifespans than elves, but the oldest can still live to be nearly a thousand years old.
In other words, the "old dwarf" that Arya met was at least a dwarf who had experienced the era of resisting the demons.
The key is……
These dwarves were not corrupted at all.
They are at most the first or second generation after their territory was covered by the demons. They are disabled and unable to forge, and are very likely former dwarf warriors who survived the battle despite being disabled.
As the main force resisting the demons in ancient times, the dwarves' attributes are directly comparable to those of the demons' advanced combat power.
A dwarf warrior with high attack, high toughness, and high endurance, equipped with high-quality gear that dwarves excel at crafting.
On the battlefield against the demons, they are an invincible and terrifying force, no less so than the exceptionally talented elves or orcs.
Moreover, due to the dwarves' expertise in forging, the dwarves who still remain on the surface deep within the demon realm are actually the most numerous.
In the later stages of the previous life, rescuing these dwarves was equivalent to upgrading the equipment of all the heroes.
Even if you don't use them to enhance the [Exclusive Weapon] given by the system, the [Orange Gear] crafted by master-level dwarven artisans is already a divine weapon for defeating the demon race.
After all, they themselves used these equipment to fight against the demons.
An Yi remembered that the dwarves had gone to great lengths to create a life-saving piece of equipment for Lycorina, but he didn't know what it was.
It's said that under extreme circumstances, it can withstand a single blow from the Demon King, but I don't know if that's true or not.
In short, since the dwarves have not been corrupted by demons, they will inevitably become an ally of humanity.
"Were they finally rescued?" Annie asked again.
"After Nightmare's assessment, it was determined that Lord Thunder Sword was probably no match for the slave traders there, so in the end, he bought them back at a low price."
"Please rest assured, My Lord, it only cost a few dozen gold coins," Becky said.
An Yi: "..."
Even buying a dog from a slave trader wouldn't cost that much, would it?!
A dwarf with a missing hand is worse than a dog.
"They have been settled and are ready to be taken to the Viscount's Domain, where the heroes will help them," Becky said.
“Okay.” An Yi nodded.
Chapter 84 Tonight, let's kill the piercer (4k)
If the task is to be handed over to the heroes, it means that Aria's side has already been taken over by the heroes as well.
An Yi doesn't need to worry about too many details. Both Nightmare and Aria are more reliable than she imagined.
