Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 51 Where the Dwarves Are

"...Puff?"

The dwarf's eyes rolled back, and a strange purple light emerged from under his skin again.

But for some reason, these strange lights retreated away after touching the silver dagger!

At the same time, a mixture of various poisonous drugs began to spread through the dwarf's body!

"Who...sneak attack?"

The dwarf Puru turned his head stiffly, only to see that the "fragile" girl he had been hunting was once again covered by the bright red cloak, and his appearance could no longer be seen.

She was standing in a place... where even with this kind of alien energy, she couldn't be harmed!

In his hand, he even drew a longbow——

"call out--"

A feathered arrow pierced the dwarf's torso.

"call out--"

Another feather arrow hit the dwarf's eyeball and passed through his skull!

Finally, the purple light on the dwarf disappeared, and he fell to the ground twitching, his eyes still glowing a strange white.

Lake continued to shoot one after another until all the arrows hidden in the cave were stuck in the dwarf's body, and then she stopped.

"Dwarves shouldn't be... so powerful, right?"

Lake walked forward cautiously, cut off the dwarf's head with a picked-up sword, and then carefully pulled out the silver dagger that was stuck in the dwarf's heart.

He wiped the slime off on a blade of hay and returned the dagger to its sheath.

Lake breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the cave.

"Why hasn't Poro come yet? How annoying! If I see him, I'll definitely rub his dog... wolf head!
I have to pretend to be pitiful in order to lure this dwarf out!
"Dwarfs that eat children? How disgusting!"

Since that midnight, Lake often felt that something was secretly observing her in the forest.

Lake had already guessed that it was the ugly dwarf!
But this despicable peeper had extraordinary agility, knowledge of the forest and extraordinary caution.

Lake herself does not have the same sense of smell as dogs.

Therefore, we can only use some countermeasures to solve this problem.

During the few days of being spied on, Lake did not even show the ability to hunt animals, and her daily meals were limited to picking vegetarian food.

The more important point is... Lake can actually use the cloak actively to completely conceal her aura—

This is also the reason why Lake hid at a fork in the road in the cave and was not discovered by the dwarfs.

"What a hassle! Now, I can finally eat in peace. Maybe later... I can go catch another pheasant?"

Lake walked out of the cave while thinking.

But when he saw the scene outside the cave, his expression changed!
Her hand once again clenched the silver dagger beneath her cloak, because...

she sees—

Earlier, where he had lit the fire, a man in light iron armor was sitting there. The pot made from his helmet was placed aside, and a leg of lamb was roasting on the burning fire.

The man in light armor also turned around in surprise and looked over!
"Uncle, you are..."

Lake was about to ask, but the man opened his mouth and said:

"Ah, Lake?"

"how do you know--"

Lake was halfway through her words when she realized, "Puro?!"

"Guessed it right!"

The man in light iron armor's face instantly distorted, the armor slipped off, and Poro walked out.

The next second, the girl flew forward and knocked the Poro to the ground!
"You big bad wolf! You clearly said you would find me sooner rather than later—how many days has it been already!?"

As Lake spoke, she kneaded and pulled the fur on Poro's face.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Lake, I just encountered some problems." Poro also raised his paw and patted Lake's head gently, then continued, "A few days ago, I didn't see any smoke from cooking on the other side of the forest, but I saw it today..."

"Humph, since you didn't do it on purpose this time, I'll forgive you!"

Lake said angrily, then naturally opened her arms and held Poro in her arms.
"So, what is it? Tell me about it."

The girl said, and smiled mysteriously again, "After you finish, I will tell you what I encountered!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it."

Poro also laughed and said, "That day, I was drinking water by the stream, and a feather arrow..."

……

The previous evening, the red sun set in the west.

In the camp of the Kingdom of Boren, a shadow walked into the camp holding a hunted wild sheep.

The prince had not returned yet, and several elite soldiers who were already in the camp saw the newcomers and greeted them.

The elite soldier disguised as Poro nodded slightly.

He didn't say much. After all, disguise is not possession, and memory will not be inherited. It makes sense to say less and make fewer mistakes!
The reason why Poro came here was that he wanted to hear more secrets.

But at this moment, the secret came to the door -

Two Boren elite soldiers with solemn expressions looked at Poro, then looked at each other with complicated expressions, as if they had made up their minds, and walked up to Poro:

"Sergeant, we... have something to discuss with you."

Poro was stunned. It seemed that... the guy he was disguising himself as was just an ordinary soldier among the elite soldiers of Poren?
But since there was a secret, Poro nodded calmly:
"Go ahead."

"We may have... found where those dwarves are hiding."

"dwarf?"

Poro's heart was moved, but he remained calm on the surface and asked calmly, "Where is it?"

Seeing the calm demeanor of the "Sergeant Major", the elite soldiers also calmed down a lot. One of them took out a notebook from his pocket.

"We encountered a dwarf in the wild. This time, we were lucky enough to track him down and recorded his location in a notebook. However, there's a maze at the end, and we can't get in..."

Another soldier added in a low voice:

"Soldier Captain, we are both... a little hesitant about whether or not to tell His Highness this information."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because... as you know, we suffered heavy losses in our last conflict with those evil dwarves. If His Highness knew about this, he wouldn't care too much and would definitely attack immediately!"

An elite soldier said.

"Yes, Your Highness has gone crazy now. This forest is very strange. I am afraid too..."

The voice of another elite soldier also became a little smaller.

"Well, you have some truth in what you said."

Poro's expression became serious. He took the notebook and said slowly, "I am loyal to His Royal Highness, but I am equally loyal to the Kingdom of Boren. Leave this information to me."

Poro's eyes revealed an aura of self-sacrifice, and he said solemnly:

"I will go alone to investigate the situation."

"But... Sir Soldier, that maze..."

"I will take care of it. Your Highness is not calm enough right now. Whether it's Your Highness or you, if you rashly attack, you will definitely get hurt!
Someone is needed to explore the chaotic darkness first!"

As he spoke, Poro put the notebook in his arms and walked towards the forest outside the camp:

"Your Highness, there is no need to inform him at this time. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Captain!"

Looking at Poro's back, the two elite soldiers were moved.
"As expected of you, Sergeant Major."

"Indeed... extraordinary."
