156 Artic - Chapter 156 - The Dwarf Lien (1/2)

----

Estam was speaking to a dwarf who was very short even by dwarf standards and had an extremely long beard. The dwarf was a friend of his who was from a time when he wasn't noble yet.

His daughter's words brought to mind a memory of Estam had experienced in the past.

During this memory, the bearded dwarf in front of him had a close friend. this close friend of him used the same words as his daughter used in the horse carriage.

Estam remembered that his daughter used these same words. So this was why Estam remembered this dwarf.

What he knew more was that the dwarf opposite him was a mystic. At least he was a 2nd Star-Level mystic.

All mystics were known in all empires and cities as very important and respectable people.

If Estam could get help of the dwarf in front of him, maybe he'd save his daughter from getting into the hands of a pervert.

The dwarf frowned when he first saw Estam. Because he didn't know exactly who he was. But with seeing his face, he set up a table outside the shop where he was found and started talking after bringing some alcohol drinks.

”Estam, my friend, what brought you here.

Estam smiled slightly, looking at his old dwarf friend's face. It was bothering him. this man is dwarf person who normally he doesn't care, now he came to him for just for asking help.

It was a little dishonorable to him. But there was nothing else you he could do.

”Lein the Dwarf, I'm here to ask for your help.”

When the dwarf named Lein heard Estam's words, he frowned slightly and spoke after taking a sip of his drink.

”What kind of help do you want?”

Estam knew that he get an answer like that. He spent a long time with the guy in the wilderness when they were young boys.

Lien  could understand what he meant by his words and his face. That's why he knew from estam's way of asking the question that it was a big deal.

But Estam talked about everything in general because he didn't have a choice. He talked about what he's been through and what he needs.

All through the conversation,  dwarf named Lein didn't respond in any way. He just confirmed with his head every once in a while and kept drinking.

After an average of 20 minutes, Estam finished telling what happened. He began to look into Lein's eyes hopefully.

Lein thought for a while and started talking after taking a deep breath.

”I can help you. But I have a request from you.

Lein's words were quite confusing to Estam. But he was happier. If he could somehow take Lein's help, he wouldn't have to give his daughter Lema to the jerk named Hamad.

He opened his ears carefully and focused on the words that would come out of Lein's mouth.

Lein spoke after nodding his head with approval.
