Chapter 127: Falling in Love and Killing Each Other (Nine Watches)
Since the dwarves live in the Ambres Mountains to the west, Brian and Donne's first stop is the Brussels Iron Ore Mine.
After checking the mine and encouraging Rogers, Donn was ready to continue on his way.
"Wait! Wait, big brother! ”
Brian's face turned pale: "Can we walk for the rest of the journey?" ”
Tang Enyi frowned: "But there is still a long way to go, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to walk." ”
In order to save time, Don flew all the way to the iron mine with Brian just now, and after landing on the ground, Brian's legs trembled, and the road couldn't go straight.
Even mountain dwarves like Brian are so afraid of flying, let alone those underground dwarves, as for those dwarven griffin knights in fantasy novels? Hehe......
"At least, at least take a break today!"
Brian gasped for air as he led the way: "Wait for me to recover, tomorrow will be better......"
So Don had no choice but to follow him, and just like that, the two of them walked for a while, flew some distance, and after three days, they finally saw the first dwarven village.
It is worth mentioning that not far from the Brussels iron ore mine, Tang En actually discovered that the other side of the mine was a white clay mine with a large area and very considerable reserves, which made Tang En instantly have the idea of firing porcelain.
Especially flush toilets......
He couldn't stand the evil squatting toilet!
"This is the slag village."
Looking at the dwarven village hidden on the hillside from afar, Brian's mood finally brightened: "Slag Village is the closest village to the human world, and they occasionally make some deals with some adventurers who go deep into the Ambrice Mountains. Maybe we can try to recruit some dwarves here first. ”
Don's expression was very strange. It's obviously a normal solicitation job. But Brian felt weird when he said that.
The two of them did not hesitate any longer and went straight to the village.
"What man!?"
As soon as they approached the village, the two of them were spotted by guards.
"Hey! Don't stress bro! I'm Brian! ”
Brian hurriedly shouted, "He's my friend!" ”
Brian ...... Brian!? ”
The guards' eyes suddenly widened: "Isn't this Brian who disappeared a few years ago!" Did you go to the human world!? ”
Brian, of course, would not say that he was imprisoned by the bandits, but smiled proudly and said, "Of course! This friend of mine is a lord of the human race, and now I am the chief blacksmith of his realm! ”
After recognizing Brian, the guards immediately opened the gate and let them in, as for Donne's lordship...... They don't care.
However, due to Donn's human identity. So the guards decided to send them to the elders.
"We thought you were killed in the forest, and Elder Durum was sad for a while."
"That old thing is going to be sad?"
Brian looked disdainful: "He's sad about the barrels of good bars I stole from him?" ”
The dwarven guard nodded, "That's right, Elder Durum wept bitterly at your funeral, probably because he felt that he would never have a chance to get back the wine you stolen." ”
"Think beautifully...... Wait a minute!? ”
Brian noticed Donne's strange eyes and suddenly came back to his senses: "What did you just say?" Funeral? My funeral!? ”
"Yes, the elder thought you were killed by a demonic beast, so he held a funeral for you in the village."
"That old bastard! He must have been cursing me on purpose! ”
Immediately Brian was furious, but then he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around him was a little strange, so he asked, "Hey, brother." Why does the atmosphere in the village seem so tense? What happened? ”
The dwarven guard said casually: "It's not a big deal, the demonic beasts in the forest have been a little restless recently. Especially a while ago, I didn't know what was crazy and rushed over to attack the village, so I raised some vigilance in the past few days. ”
Seeing that he didn't look nervous, Brian didn't take it seriously.
Tang En was a little embarrassed, he probably guessed the reason for the abnormality of those magical beasts, I am afraid it is related to Ellington's collective awakening talent a few days ago, in order to help them awaken their talents, Tang En gathered all the elements and magic power in the vicinity to Ellington, and the magical beasts that are very sensitive to elements and magic are easily stimulated, so they ......
Of course, he wouldn't say such a thing.
"Well, Elder Durum's house is still there, go over by yourself, I'll go back."
The dwarven architecture is very different from that of humans, and most of the dwarven buildings that adhere to the rough and primitive style are built with rocks and trees, and they rarely use dirt to fill in the gaps, so they look very similar to primitive people.
However, in this rugged and primitive style, the decorative function is a variety of delicate iron objects that glow cold, and almost every house has an anvil at the door.
Swords are rarely seen here, most of them are war hammers, and heavy war hammers can not only be used as weapons, but also very conveniently used as forging hammers, so when a dwarf is just an adult, the first test he receives is to build a war hammer at hand.
As a result, more than ninety percent of the dwarves are Warhammer bringers.
Only some non-mainstream dwarves can wield two-handed swords or battle axes.
"This old thing must have gone crazy when he saw me......"
Brian muttered as they rang, and Don silently took a few steps back.
"Come on, come on, you little guys don't know how to respect the elderly, can't you let me take a break, and there are-"
An elderly dwarf opened the door with a chatter, and the moment he saw Brian, he froze, and the words stopped abruptly.
Brian grinned, "Hey, Elder Durum. ”
"You, you...... Brian ......"
Tears welled up in Elder Durum's eyes.
Immediately after that, Brian smashed it with a punch, and at the same time scolded, "You old bastard! I'm not dead yet! ”
Unexpectedly, Durum, who looked old and frail, instantly avoided Brian's fist, and the cane in his hand whistled and smashed at Brian: "You damn bastard!" If you don't die, spit out my barrels of wine! ”
There was a crisp sound of a "bell". Brian's warhammer blocked the crutches. "If you want compensation, you have to beat me first. And what the hell is my funeral!? ”
Hearing the crisp sound, Tang En realized that the crutch in Durum's hand was actually made of fine iron, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"That's the old man, I don't want to see your soul fly out of the sky, guide your soul to the way home, and let you return to the arms of the goddess, you should be grateful to me!"
"Do you want me to give you a funeral and make your soul grateful to me!?"
"Don't worry about you, I will definitely live longer than you!"
"Phew! You old immortal eat me with a hammer! ”
"Little bastard watch the cane!"
Whether it's lip service or hands. Durum did not lose the slightest moment, and fought with Brian, the clanging sound attracting the attention of many dwarves, but they looked at it and went back to their homes without paying attention.
The corners of Don's eyes twitched fiercely, could it be that this was already the daily life of the fighting nation?
The two dwarves, one old and one young, fought for more than half an hour, from one end of the village to the other, and finally back, glaring at each other breathlessly, neither of them willing to bow their heads first and admit their mistakes.
"The ......"
Don glanced at the sky, if he let them fight again. It was estimated that a lot of time would be wasted again, and he stepped forward. He gave Elder Durum a mage salute, then took out a bottle of Crescent Moon Wine and handed it over: "Elder, I apologize to you for Brian's rudeness, and this bottle of Crescent Moon Wine from the Elves will be used as compensation for him stealing your beer." ”
Elder Durum took the wine and subconsciously repeated, "Crescent wine? ”
"Crescent wine!?"
"Wine!?"
Several of the surrounding houses suddenly pushed open their gates, and several dwarves rushed out in an instant, staring at Elder Durum with fierce eyes.
Elder Durum was shocked: "What do you want to do!?" I can tell you, this bottle is Brian's compensation! Don't you want to hit it! ”
Perhaps worried that the dwarves would really rush up and snatch the wine away, Elder Durum rushed back to his house without saying a word, and only after hiding the wine did he come out with peace of mind.
"Well, hello, human, I already feel your kindness, tell me what you mean."
Elder Durum said solemnly, "Do you want us to help forge armor?" Or weapons? For the sake of that bottle, I'll think about it seriously. ”
Tang En didn't say it directly, but smiled: "I heard that the people of the earth like to drink beer, and I thought you wouldn't like the gift I brought out." ”
"We don't like to drink crescent wine."
Elder Durum smiled slyly: "But you humans like it, I remember a human adventurer said that this wine is very popular among humans, and it is worth 10,000 gold coins, with these gold coins, how many good wines can I brew......"
I'll go! Who says dwarves are loyal and honest? Stand up, I promise not to kill him!
After a few more casual conversations with Elder Durum, Don felt that the atmosphere was almost the same, and he said, "Actually, the reason why I'm here is not to let you help forge armor or weapons......
"Well, I can see that if you just need armor and weapons, this little bastard Brian can solve it."
Brian was furious: "Who are you scolding, old and immortal!" ”
"It's you little bastard who scolds!"
After Durum finished scolding, he smiled at Don again: "I'm sorry, human lord, this little bastard must have caused a lot of trouble to you, I hope you can be more tolerant, as a different race, it is not easy to live in human society." ”
Don smiled, "Of course, I can feel your love for him. ”
"Fart!"
"Nonsense!"
Brian and Durum roared in unison, then glared at each other, crossed their arms and snorted coldly away from each other.
That's why I told you......
Don is speechless, the tsundere bearded dwarf or something is not cute at all! (To be continued.) )
