Bab 323: Underground City - Part 1
King William knew that Heero meant what he said. And after meeting a real dragon yesterday, he trusted Heero even more than before.
He gestured to his knights with his left hand not to speak and said to Heero, "Good! What about Alexa? Can I take her with me?"
Heero did not answer immediately. He looked at Alexa and in a fraction of a second, his pupils turned purple. The people around him hardly noticed.
"If you trust her, then it's okay, she can come with us to meet our little friends."
Heero said with a big smile on his face. King William took that as a joke and smiled in return.
The three Guardian Knights who had not followed King William into the first dungeon wanted to say something.
But Guardian Knight Adrian stopped them with a wave of his hand and a shake of his head. He told them to follow the King's will and not to follow them.
At this point, he was pretty sure that Heero was someone he could trust.
If he really wants to hurt William, yesterday was his best chance!
It was a dragon, and the dragon was Heero's friend. He, William and Alexa could have been killed there in an instant, but they were safe and sound. He believed there was no reason for Heero to harm King William.
The other three Guardian Knights did not understand why Adrian agreed to this. They said nothing and retreated.
"Then let's go," Heero led King William and Alexa to their destination. They did not go to the Academy, but to the Xing Auction House.
When they arrived in front of the auction house, Heero met his daughter. Miao Miao was walking with her usual group.
She, Myung-Hee, and Lan Lan. Each of them was holding a skewer covered in red sauce.
"Daddy!" Miao Miao shouted as soon as she spotted her father. She ran towards him waving her skewer.
"Wow~ Wow~," Heero caught his daughter and took the skewer out of her hand. He did this to prevent the sauce from falling on her yellow shirt.
"Where are you going?" He asked her as he returned the skewer.
"I'm going to play with Lumi. Where are you going, Daddy?" She took a bite of the skewer after asking back.
Lumi was the name of her Luminous Hyacinth. It seemed that the three of them were going to play on the roof of the noodle shop.
"I'm going to visit Uncle Shorty, do you want to go too?" Heero asked.
When Heero said these words, Miao Miao's eyes brightened. When Uncle Shorty was mentioned, her eyes lit up. Myung-Hee and Lan Lan also had the same reaction.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The three little girls replied at the same time.
"Where is Sister Moira?" Heero asked Miao Miao. Moira usually played with them, but he had not seen her today.
"Sister Moira is training with Brother Dong-Woo. She's working very hard!" Myung-Hee was the one who answered.
Heero nodded in understanding. Moira was determined to become strong. She said she did not want to lose her new family, so she wanted to become strong to protect her sisters.
Miao Miao looked at King William and Alexa before she whispered in Heero's ear, "Can I get more skewers for Uncle Shorty?"
"Of course you can," Heero nodded and gave her daughter his diamond card to buy more skewers.
"Seeing you with your daughter makes me envy you," King William said as he looked at the three little girls running away from them.
"You can start planning it when you get back," Heero grinned at the couple.
The skewer stall was not far from the auction house. It was not long before the three little girls ran back with two plastic bags in each hand.
Each bag contained at least thirty skewers.
"Let's go!" Miao Miao said as she handed the diamond map back to her father.
Heero took the diamond map and followed the three little girls into the auction house. King William and Alexa followed close behind.
King William was confused at first. He thought the last secret ally was at the second gate in the backyard of the academy.
He entered the auction house. It was dark and empty. At his second step, the lights came on automatically, illuminating the hallway.
With the fifth step, they stopped in the empty hallway.
Heero put his hand on the wall, which confused King William. But soon his confusion was solved when the wall slid down, revealing a new path to the underground.
King William and Alexa unconsciously stepped forward to see the path. It was a staircase that led them to the underground.
The three little girls ran excitedly into the underground while Heero followed them.
King William and Alexa exchanged a quick glance before they entered the subway together.
They lost sight of Heero and his daughters, but they were not anxious to catch up. It was only a one-way path, there was no way they could get lost.
The path was lit by a hexagonal crystal. They could see a crystal every ten feet. The couple scanned the path, the stairs were covered with slabs of black stone and the wall had a similar design.
As they continued to descend, they soon heard the voices of the three little girls. They were chatting happily, calling out "Uncle Shorty" several times.
Curious, King William and Alexa increased their speed. As they got closer, they could also hear a boy's voice? Yes, it was a cute boy's voice, King William was sure.
When they reached their destination, the couple was surprised by the scene in front of them.
They saw Heero's daughters surrounded by boys. But the boys were a head taller than the girls.
There were five of them and they got the plastic bag from Heero's daughters.
Perhaps the five boys noticed the couple's presence, so the five boys raised their heads and met King William's eyes.
King William and Alexa were shocked at what they saw. They thought the five were boys, but they were not.
Three of them had thick beards, one had a long beard, and the last had a thick mustache. They also had pale white skin like a vampire in the movie.
A name flashed through King William and Alexa's minds.
'Dwarf!
To the couple's surprise, the five dwarves immediately handed the plastic bags to Heero's daughters.
Then five of them took out their weapons.
Three swords and two spears, they pointed their weapons at them and shouted in their cute voices, "Who are you?"
"Wow~ Wow~ Wow~! Calm down, guys! Calm down and put down your weapons," Heero appeared between the couple and the dwarves.
"You brought them here? You promised us not to bring any random strangers!" A dwarf with a spear shouted at Heero.
From the expression on the dwarves' faces, King William could tell that these dwarves were angry about their presence.
"I know! I know! But they are not some random stranger. They are your new customers," Heero turned around and winked at the couple.
His lips moved and he spoke without a voice, "Greet them~ politely~.
'Don't forget to praise them!'
Fortunately, King William and Alexa were quick to catch on. They got the message.
The couple stepped forward and bowed politely to the dwarves, "Hello, I am William and this is my wife, Alexa.
"Hello~ I am Alexa~," Alexa waved her hand cheerfully at the dwarves.
Only then did the dwarves lower their weapons.
"Hello!" The dwarf with the spear nodded and tried to deepen his voice as he returned the greeting.
However, with her cute voice, it did not make the right impression on the couple.
Alexa was amused by the dwarf and kept her laughter inside.
"You have a nice voice~," Alexa praised the dwarves. She did not forget Heero's words to praise the dwarves.
She chose 'nice' over 'cute', even though the voice was really cute to her. Despite their cute voices, they looked old. If she praised their voice as cute, she was afraid they would be offended.
Judging by their appearance, these dwarves were old, and calling them cute might be a mistake.
The dwarves smiled and Alexa knew she had made the right choice.
Miao Miao approached the dwarf with the spear and held his hand, "Uncle Shorty, he is a good person.
"Yes, he bought these for you too," Myung-Hee showed the plastic bag in her hand to the dwarf with the spear.
