My feelings are extremely complicated.

The dwarf assassin's feelings at this moment were beyond words.

Just now, his current Master asked that strange question: if the legendary hero is so good at dark magic, wouldn't light magic be even stronger?

What was he supposed to say? Should he just tell them the truth: our hero was actually completely clueless about the field of light magic?

Let's forget about it. Saying it out loud feels like it would damage the image of a hero.

Just when he thought the topic was over and everything was fine, he saw Bai Yi turn around and ask that terrible question.

"Dwarf friend, why do you seem to have gotten shorter?"

"Don't say things that are detrimental to unity. Why are you so concerned about my height?"

Making fun of someone is one thing, but why do it in public? Isn't that going a bit too far?

He muttered to himself, but the dwarf assassin also knew that his old acquaintance probably didn't do it on purpose.

Indeed, it wasn't intentional.

Bai Yi knew about this dwarf scout captain through El's memories, but compared to that time, this dwarf had become even shorter.

"Well, you should understand, right? I'm really curious."

Looking into those gleaming eyes, the dwarf assassin sighed.

"Sigh... Hero, how should I put it, this is quite an awkward situation."

You should remember that, right? That thing that's famous all over the world, the dwarf joke.

"Indeed, it's hard to forget this thing, especially when I see you dwarves, dwarf jokes just pop into my head."

Bai Yi was deeply impressed by the story of El's journey to defeat the Demon King, where he encountered a Demon King whose collection included a book of dwarf jokes.

"The dwarves were very pleased with the orcs, because every time the dwarves came to the orc village, they would gently sweep the dust off the dwarves."

However, the orcs didn't agree with this explanation; they claimed that their tails simply bumped into something when they turned around.

"Scholars who study dwarves still don't understand why dwarven armor has skirts. Is there something else that can attack their lower body?"

All sorts of strange and wonderful dwarf jokes, with almost no two being the same, are an indispensable source of fun on El's journey to defeat the Demon King.

"You know it, buddy, it's that damn dwarf joke that has to be written in the Book of Hatred."

The dwarf assassin told him that the widespread dissemination of dwarf jokes had led to severe stereotypes about dwarves among the vast majority of people who had never seen them.

Those dwarves who are still alive are alright; when people see them, they immediately think they are very tall, which is a good thing.

But those dwarves who became spirits suffered.

Just like the resentment of vampires towards red-eyed bats, it propelled William, the vampire viscount, to an epic status.

The stereotype of dwarfs has led to a decrease in the height of dwarf heroes.

In response, Bai Yi could only say that the dwarf joke was indeed too authoritative.

"As expected of a dwarf joke, it is indeed an indispensable treasure of dwarf culture."

"My old friend, that's going too far..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."

At this moment, the dwarven assassin's spirit messenger also came to his senses. He looked at Bai Yi and excitedly stepped forward to shake hands.

"Hello, hello! You must be the legendary hero. I admire you greatly."

One of the essential lessons for any Heroic Spirit user is to cultivate good relationships with certain special Heroic Spirits.

By forming a good connection, perhaps this heroic spirit will return to Valhalla in the future, and you or your descendants will have the opportunity to summon him.
