Don't call me evil god

Chapter 486: Trouble Everywhere You Go

"How abnormal is that?"

The young dwarf recalled for a moment, a trace of fear appeared on his face:
"When other family members were talking to him, Cousin Bron...he was very calm, so calm that he didn't even seem like a dwarf."

"We usually, well, we know we have a bad temper, but there's nothing wrong with that. We're all rough, and we'll fight if we don't agree, but our relationship won't get worse after the fight."

"Bron is different."

"No matter how hard people try to talk to him, get him to drink, or even punch him, his mood doesn't change much. He won't be happy or angry."

"If you ask him what he was doing in the Spirit Wing Wetland."

"He would tell us very seriously...he had received guidance from his ancestors and this was his mission!"

"Ask him what the letter says."

"He refused to say anything, but just emphasized again and again that this matter was very important and he couldn't give up or stop, he had to do it."

Pete's heart moved.

Altered mental status and abnormal behavior patterns.

These strange phenomena sound a bit like the negative effects produced by being infused with the power of an evil god!

However, Bron Freeman's anomaly is not like that of the Bloodfang Gang in Greenport.

The thugs of the Blood Fang Gang were falling into madness. The more power they were infused with from the evil god, the more ambitious, irritable, and difficult to think they became, and their bodies began to deform.

Bron Freeman, on the surface, doesn't sound that "dangerous".

But by this description, he seems to be becoming more and more paranoid.

Dwarves are inherently stubborn, and Bron Freeman takes this trait to the extreme.

To put it in a positive way, this means being clear about your goals, being firm and unwavering, and not being affected by external things or other people's opinions.

To put it in the worst way, it's called being stubborn.

Pete asked, "Is Bron Freeman the only one in the Freeman family who has experienced this?"

“Have other people shown similar symptoms?”

"What about the other dwarf clans, or the dwarves on the upper floors of the stone fortress?"

The young dwarf shook his head blankly: "I don't know, maybe not?"

Miranda interrupted: "Then let's change the question."

"Are there any other dwarves who claim that they have received guidance from their ancestors and are heading to the Spirit Wing Wetlands?"

She also sensitively realized that there was something wrong with this phenomenon.

This time the other party gave a positive answer: "Yes! There are guys like this every once in a while, um... but they are not members of the glorious nine dwarf families."

"These people are shouting about the guidance and mission of their ancestors, basically just to attract attention, trying to use this method to return to the family inherited from their ancestors."

“In reality, they were given no guidance at all.”

"The blood power of us dwarves will not deceive us. If he can really get the protection of his ancestors, then he will definitely be able to stimulate the power in his blood and obtain the corresponding blessings and magic."

“Whether those guys came back after running to the Spirit Wing Wetland or not, their bloodlines have not changed. They have not stimulated the power of their ancestors at all, and they will not run to the Spirit Wing Wetland again and again like crazy!”

"This is totally different from how Braum behaves!"

……

Pete could not interfere in the Freeman family's affairs. Given the arrogance and stubbornness of these dwarves, expecting them to ask outsiders for help in solving the problem would be more painful than killing them.

Somehow.

Pete always felt that Bron Freeman's abnormal behavior might be related to those mysterious black-robed men from Stone Castle.

Although on the surface there seems to be no connection between the two.

But Pete always felt that beneath the surface of the Wine Festival's revelry, there were undercurrents surging deep in the stone fortress.

It was as if an invisible giant hand was patiently placing chess pieces one after another in the stone fortress.

Before the final layout is completed, it is almost impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture. Pete has a hunch.

As they track down clues related to the man in black, it will sooner or later be linked to the disappearance of Bron Freeman.

Before leaving the Freeman family's equipment shop, Pete relayed the contents of the incomplete family card:

"May our ancestors bless the eternal Iron-blooded Warriors and the glorious family of excavators—"

"Which family and when did this description correspond to the clan card issued?"

The dwarf clerk frowned upon hearing this and looked at Pete warily:

"What are you asking about the clan cards for?"

"In view of...your analysis, I can tell you that among the nine great families, only the three families with the surnames of Manhao, Tieger, and Rum can use the name 'Excavator'."

"In addition to forging, they are good at excavating mountain walls, finding mineral veins deep underground, and discovering and identifying ores."

"More than 90% of Stone Castle's mineral needs are supplied by these three great clans."

"But when exactly it was distributed is a secret of the dwarves!"

Pete clicked his tongue.

He knew that things wouldn't be that easy.

At least there has been some progress in the clues.

The scope of the black-robed dwarves who possess clan cards has been narrowed down from nine clans to three.

"How about a fair trade?" Gale next to him suddenly suggested.

"You are now anxious to find Bron Freeman and want to know what happened to him, right?"

"We want to know something about the Wild Pick, Tieger, and the Rum family."

"If we can help you find Bron, and even find out what happened."

"In return, tell us what we want to know."

"What I can tell you as a bargaining chip is that we have a lot of people and are very good at finding people!"

The young dwarf frowned, his expression clearly wavering in indecision.

"Go back and discuss this with your family members."

Dwarves don't like to ask outsiders for help.

But that doesn't mean they refuse any deal.

On the contrary, if it is a fair deal, they have no reason to refuse it.

After all, dwarves are stubborn but not stupid.

……

On the way to meet Reina, Brandon, who had hardly said a word in the store before, suddenly complained with a hint of emotion.

"What a hell."

"Although I always thought that I would become a powerful legendary adventurer in the future, experiencing all kinds of epic adventures and having countless experiences that could be sung by bards."

"But I didn't expect that life could be so exciting. Accidents happen wherever you go!"

"As long as those people in black robes are there, there seems to be no peace!"

"My instinct tells me that Stone Castle might also be in big trouble!"

"This may very well be the last calm before the explosion!"

Pete and the others nodded in agreement.
