Kapitel 154: Win over Durin

Sophie's dwarves lacked high-level combatants, and Durin seemed like a good candidate.

After months of torture, Durin had lost faith in the Silverbeard Clan. Nori, being the chieftain's son, made it clear that the chieftain was complicit in his suffering.

The city's commoners believed their beloved Lord Durin was dead.

"I am a noble. Can you trust me?" Durin asked.

"Words alone aren't enough. We need a contract," Alex replied.

Durin fell silent. Signing a contract meant he couldn't betray Alex, which was the safest option, but he also didn't fully trust her.

"I need... to see outside," Durin said.

Alex used her scythe to break the iron door and cut the chains binding Durin.

Durin struggled to stand, stumbling towards the exit. Alex watched silently. In Durin's current state, she could kill him instantly if he tried anything.
