I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

Chapter 198: Halfling's New Invention

"Hurry up! Walk faster!"

"Halfling! Mr. Irving must have a purpose for walking so slowly!

Why are you in such a hurry as a prisoner? "

"But, but I want to..."

Ivan and Percy walked on the stone steps leading to the bottom of the mine, pinching each other's arms, trying to remind each other not to look back.

A little different from the previous situation, the half-ling Annie is now considered very dangerous by the two men.

Without her——the killing power of the absolute domain is too great...

Moreover, the little halfling, who had a rather complicated mind, deliberately fell behind inadvertently in order to make the angle more attractive.

This almost got a human who turned back to check into trouble, and the other one wasn't much better.

"Don't even think about it! We need to hurry on!"

"less talking, more working!"

"Hey, it's really boring..."

The halfling Annie spat in disdain, lifted up the hem of her skirt, and prepared to pass through the two people and walk back to the front of the team.

Just as Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that he had escaped danger, Percy suddenly pointed at his neck with a strange expression.

There is a black ribbon on it, and judging from the shape, it should be something for girls.

"Percy... Although I don't discriminate against men who dress like women, you don't have to show me your preferences..."

Feeling a little speechless, Alvin couldn't help but complain.

Lord Alvin... this is...

Unable to make any sound, Percy could only blink and purse his lips, giving Ivan frantic looks.

Unfortunately, this human seemed a little dull and didn't respond for a long time.

It was not until the halfling in Ivan's sight put a black ribbon of the same style around Ivan's neck without anyone noticing that the human realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Hehe! Smart Annie can always find some good solutions!"

The little halfling now finally succeeded in her plot, and she neither lifted her skirt nor unbuttoned it.

She looked at the two tall humans proudly and pointed at the new things around their necks.

“A new invention of the Halflings—the Fair Collar!

Do you feel speechless?

Feeling weak all over? And a little dizzy?"

The paladin in maid costume glanced at the distance to the bottom of the mine, then pulled out a short rapier suitable for a half-man from under her skirt.

"After being collared, your abilities and senses will be restricted to that of an underage halfling. That's fair, right?

I also added a silencing magic...

By the way, if you two hadn't pretended to be gentlemen and didn't look at me, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily!"

Annoyed Percy stared at Annie fiercely. This paladin from Yodala didn't look like a paladin at all.

Sir Ivan is still in a daze and probably hasn't recovered from this reversal.

“Thank me for being so kind today!

I decided to lead you to the bottom of the pit via the stairs instead of kicking you directly in.

So don't stare at me so fiercely, soldier - or I can't promise that I won't change my mind...

As for you, Irving Nolihuys, the famous pervert,

It seems that the bard's song is not accurate. You really don't seem like a lustful pervert..."

As he spoke, the little guy stretched out his arm and used his fingers to tease Ivan's chin.

"Well--"

The tingling and numb feeling made Ivan unable to hold back a cry. Annie vigilantly withdrew her fingers and held her small sword.

But then, seeing that this human did not make any other sounds, Annie relaxed her guard and looked carefully at the black ribbon around Ivan's neck.

“Is the effect of the attached spell a little unstable?

Looks like we need to ask Larriel to reinforce it...

What are you looking at?

Don’t think I’ll let you go just because you’re handsome!

I won't buy into that, huh!"

……

Xiling held her spear and lowered the brim of her hat.

She did not stand with Lian in front of the group of captives, but hid herself in the bushes on the side of the road as Alvin said.

Before leaving, Alvin whispered a few words to himself.

One sentence is that the halfling female knight is very dishonest;

Another sentence is that the remaining halflings are very timid, and Xiling hiding will be the most effective deterrent to them.

Sure enough, Xiling once again experienced the magic of Alvin.

After he disappeared, the group of halflings became terrified, looking in his direction from time to time, not daring to move.

Xiling simply leaned against the trunk of a birch tree to save her energy.

Compared to Xiling's quietness, the short Lian seems very noisy.

She finally found the halfling who treated her as one of her own kind.

The little half-elf was pointing his transformation staff at the halfling's nose, telling him to stand up straight, and was very pleased with the fact that he was shorter than him.

"Don't, don't be complacent, half-elf...

Yani will come back to save us..."

This halfling was very young, and his face, like Lian's, looked childish, a characteristic of a minor.

"Ani?

The bad halfling who dressed in a maid outfit to seduce my brother-in-law... and seduced that human pervert?

I tell you, although Alvin is indeed a pervert,

But he won't be fooled so easily!"

"Ivan? Such a familiar name..."

"Could it be..."

"Oh my god! It can't be that pervert Jazz Ivan!"

"Oh no! Annie is in danger this time!"

Very satisfied with the reactions of these halflings, Lian enthusiastically participated in their discussion.

"Right, right!

Let me tell you, my brother-in-law blah blah blah..."

"Wow!"

"He was mumbling in the Haze Forest before..."

"Wow!"

"And it is said that women touched by him will chirp..."

"very scary!"

A group of creatures lost themselves in the gossip and didn't even notice that the validity period of [Entanglement Spell] had expired.

……

After following Annie for at least an hour, the three finally arrived at the bottom of the Nield Mine.

This place looks more like a small town.

Rows of two-story buildings in human style are densely packed together, with occasional humans or halflings running around on the paths between the buildings.

Many tall people had the same ribbons as Ivan and Percy around their necks, in black, red, yellow, and all kinds of other colors.

But most humans do not have this kind of "fairness collar", but they can talk and laugh harmoniously with the halflings.

“It seems that the actual situation is not what Shuman guessed.

If these humans were not collectively suffering from Stockholm syndrome,

That means the halflings haven’t kidnapped humans and other races here…”

"you do not say……"

Annie greeted several acquaintances very happily, including halflings, humans, and some hybrid species with less obvious features.

"We have never kidnapped anyone. It's those bad guys from Huiyao City who are taking advantage of this situation!"

"That gang of bad guys?"

"Hmm! Those old perverted councillors and the little perverted city lord..."

Suddenly realizing something, Annie turned around abruptly and pointed the rapier in her hand at Ivan's neck.

"You, you, you, why can you speak?

Aren't you silenced by the Collar of Fairness?"

Ivan shrugged, looked down at the little maid in white silk, and stretched out his right hand.

"I can't just talk..."

A ball of white light appeared in the palm of his right hand.
