Chapter 705: Dwarven Relic
"Your Excellency, we have been waiting for you for a long time, why did Your Excellency only hire Pei Di's group of weak guys and not hire us?
Another difference between the Mountain Dwarves and the Underground Gnomes and Mushrooms is that they are more united, although they are scattered around the Shadow City in several villages, just like the Underground Gnomes.
But nominally they are a clan - limestone.
Hasger was their common patriarch.
This guy is a typical mountain dwarf with a bad mouth, impulsive temperament, and the kind that can provoke people every minute and want to kill him.
But if he can get his approval, he will become the most bold and enthusiastic person, and he doesn't have to worry about him stabbing him in the back.
His temperament decided that he didn't care to do this, even if he stabbed a knife, he would hit it head-on with a hammer.
"Isn't the finale all at the end? It's not that I look down on you, on the contrary, it's because I look up to you that I want to hire you as a gift, and I asked you to send it from the territory, try it. Sean took a jar of liquor from the Iron Golem and opened it in front of Hasger.
"This is a legendary spirit, such a unique aroma!" Hasger's eyes widened, staring at the jar in Sean's hand.
Dwarves are alcoholics.
That's famous.
This is what is written in all the books that mention dwarves.
Sean also felt this when he visited the mountain dwarf village, because they believed in the idol of the god of forging, which was a hammer in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.
But the problem is that in the dwarven villages of the Shadow City, spirits are a legendary drink, and many people have never drunk a drop of wine in their lives, only listening to the legends of their ancestors.
No way, mushrooms can't make wine.
Knowing the news, Sean naturally targeted their preferences.
"Taste it. Sean didn't say much, and threw the bottle with the lid open to Hasger.
"Be careful. Hasger's eyes were about to pop out, and he jumped taller than himself, and steadily took the wine bottle in his hand, holding it in his hand as if he was holding a holy object, leaning next to his big nose, and took a deep breath and said, "This is the legendary aroma of wine, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could smell it, my father's greatest wish before his death was to taste a sip of the legendary dwarf ale." ”
"The dwarf ale you said should be beer, I didn't bring it this time, what you have in your hand is a spirit, a highly refined spirit, seventy-five degrees, the kind that can be used as alcohol, the first time you drink it, it is recommended to take a sip. Sean reminded.
But he said it a little late.
After being sentimental for a moment, Hasg tilted his neck very heroically and poured a big gulp.
"Shhhh
He knows very well what the concept of 75 degrees spirits is, and he will never forget it once he drinks it.
Half a year ago, he was pitted, and after taking a sip, his stomach and intestines burned together, and he still remembers it vividly.
It's the first time he's seen someone like Haggs, who doesn't do anything and does it in one bite.
"Shhh
The eyes of the whole person, like a toad, bulge outward.
He wants to spit out the liquor that hasn't been eaten yet, but he is reluctant to do so, for him, this is a holy thing.
But the part that goes down the stomach has already begun to burn, burning wherever it goes.
After only a few seconds, Haggs felt that the stomach in his stomach was no longer his own.
It took four or five seconds for Haggs to swallow all the liquor in his mouth.
"Heroic!" Shaun gave a thumbs up to Haggs, and the Kentana barbarians didn't dare to drink the original brew so boldly.
"Refreshing, that's spirits...... The taste is even more magical than the legend says. Hasg exhaled, his face flushed.
Because the wine was too strong, his tongue was obviously a little numb, and he couldn't pronounce words clearly.
Although Hasg had never drunk a drop of wine in his life, he liked the burning taste after just the first sip, no, from the moment he smelled the fragrance, he already liked it, and the muscles around his body seemed to be cheering and injecting a new vitality, and his brain seemed to be spinning faster than usual.
It seems that dwarves have a penchant for alcohol, which has been inscribed in their bodies as a gene.
"Go, go, go, I'm going to tell the whole clan the good news, and the lord has brought us the legendary drink. Hasg couldn't wait to drag Sean inside, his tongue seemed to get used to it a little, and he couldn't help but put the bottle to his mouth again.
This time, I learned to be smart, and I didn't dare to take a big sip again, so I took a sip and sighed with satisfaction.
He looked like an old wine worm who had been drinking for many years, and he couldn't imagine that he had never tasted wine a minute before.
"Good news, good news, the lord from outside has brought spirits, legendary spirits, and invites everyone to taste them together, and everyone gathers in the square. ”
"Spirits are limited in quantity, and if you go late, you're gone, so go, go. ”
"What a unique taste, is this the taste of the legendary spirits? You can smell it from so far away, let's go, hurry up and take a look." ”
Sean far underestimated the temptation of spirits to the mountain dwarves, and with a burst of gongs and drums, the underground square of the dwarven village, which was not large, was soon crowded with people, and the mountain dwarves who heard the news were no less than two or three hundred, and there were many more people on the way.
When they talk about spirits, they inevitably use sacred words.
Looking at the spirits, it's like a pilgrimage.
Especially when drinking spirits, it is like drinking holy goods.
Sean couldn't help but wonder if what they had flown in this time wasn't just an ordinary original brew, but some kind of legendary drink?
However, if you put yourself in their shoes, it is not surprising that this situation occurs among mountain dwarves.
If they had plenty of wine before they migrated here, and the wine culture was very popular, after they arrived here, the old people had been chanting in the ears of young people, which would inevitably make them yearn for it, and after a long time, it would naturally be sacred by the legend.
Because there were too many mountain dwarves who came to hear the news, Sean couldn't even share a sip of the wine that each person brought.
Fortunately, he was experienced in dealing with these drinking races, and he didn't transport unpleasant ales and low-alcohol spirits, and the Iron Golem carried all this kind of high-quality original brew.
While making people boil several pots of mushroom soup, they used magic to condense several buckets of water into ice and blend them on the spot.
Adult male mountain dwarves were given a glass of spirits with ice.
The female mountain dwarves and children were given a bowl of spirits and mushroom soup.
Needless to say, the taste of ice and fire perfectly blended conquered those male mountain dwarves on the spot, and many people even burst into tears with excitement, shouting that they have no regrets in this life, and finally can taste the legendary spirits, even if they return to the arms of the god of forging, they are not ashamed to face the dwarf ancestors.
The spirits and mushroom soup is an out-and-out dark dish created by Sean, in line with the principle that it is better than mixing water on the spot, but I didn't expect to be very satisfied with the appetite of those mountain dwarf women, children and children, and drank them one by one.
Later, when Sean learned more about the history of the mountain dwarves, he learned that this practice was not a dark dish among the dwarves at all, and in the years when the wine was relatively abundant, when those mountain dwarf women cooked meals, as long as they brought soup, they would inevitably add a lot of spirits as condiments.
Sometimes it's not uncommon to use low-alcohol alcohol instead of water.
Spirits mushroom soup is just a normal dwarven dish.
Seeing their satisfied faces when they drank the mushroom soup, even Lei Zhe looked curious, and couldn't help but say, "Can you bring me a bowl too." ”
Sean didn't say a word, brought Lei Zhe a big soup bowl, and said expectantly, "How does it taste?"
Because he is also very curious, but he is limited by the energy clone, and he can't taste it himself.
"(⊙o⊙)..."As soon as he took the mouth, Lei Zhe's face wrinkled directly, and the appearance of wanting to vomit but not daring to vomit reappeared on his body, and it took a few seconds to swallow it, and he quickly turned his head and drank a sip of water, before he replied, "The taste is quite unique, I have never tasted such a unique taste." ”
His expression and tone had perfectly answered Sean's question.
This is still a dark dish, and it meets the appetite of the mountain dwarves, but it does not meet the appetite of others.
If the mountain dwarves have enough drink, it can be attributed to their habits.
This situation can only be attributed to their taste buds and gastrointestinal structure, which are different from ordinary people.
"They're the best blacksmiths here, and all the metalwork of the Mage's Tower has to fall on them. Sean's smile was clearly mischievous.
Curiosity often comes at a cost.
It is painful to pay the price yourself, and it is a pleasure to pay the price to others.
Lei Zhe looked down, and sure enough, many mountain dwarves who had already drunk their share of the mushroom soup with ice and spirits were looking at him eagerly, unable to tell whether they were urging themselves to drink it quickly, or for the bowl of spirits and mushroom soup in his hand.
Lei Zhe knew that if he poured out this bowl of liquor and mushroom soup in front of these mountain dwarves, even if he was not killed, his reputation among this group of people would fall to a low point, and it would be difficult to regain their favor in the future, which would naturally affect the future work scheduling.
I have the intention to send out the liquor and mushroom soup, but I don't know if their life customs will see it as a rude act, after all, I have just taken a sip of the bowl.
Stretching out the head with a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, so let's have a good time.
Lei Zhe's heart was horizontal, his eyes were closed, his head was raised, and he looked like a warrior never to return.
Knock knock and drink the liquor mushroom soup in one gulp.
"Okay, refreshing. ”
"That's how wine should be drunk. ”
"Temper to us. ”
"We've been friends ever since. ”
The mountain dwarves who saw this move praised one after another, and looked at Lei Zhe's gaze, which was obviously much softer.
The mountain dwarf, who is usually as dull as a pile of stones, has a glass of spirits on the rocks, and his temperament immediately changes greatly, and he talks a lot with enthusiasm.
"Would you like another bowl?" Sean next to him couldn't help but laugh.
Lei Zhe's face changed slightly, and he shook his head again and again: "Thank you, no need, this kind of good thing, one bowl is enough, there are still so many brothers of the Gray Rock Clan who haven't been able to taste the taste of spirits, let's leave it to them, and when there are more spirits shipped in the future, it's not too late to taste them." ”
Lei Zhe, who was in a hurry, came up with perfect excuses.
"Yes. Seeing that the mountain dwarf had developed a certain affection for Lei Zhe, Sean did not continue to embarrass him.
After making sure that most of the mountain dwarves present could get a sip of the spirits to taste, Sean turned back to Hasger and said: "To those graystone brothers who have not been able to taste the taste of spirits, I can only say sorry for the time being, the plague is rampant on the ground, the undead are raging, our caravan can't come at all, these spirits are all airlifted, I don't know when there will be a chance, so that the graystone brothers can drink freely." ”
"If you can't go on the ground, then go underground, isn't that digging purple worm already used by the lord?" Hasg Patriarch said with red eyes and a mouth full of wine, "Directly open an underground passage from the Shadow City to the lord's territory, our limestone clan will do our best to help strengthen and repair, and when the time comes, we will not ask for the lord's drink in vain, our limestone clan are the best miners and blacksmiths, and over the years, we have accumulated a lot of wealth, and we will spend money to buy it when the time comes." ”
"It's really a way to do it. Sean's heart blossomed, this was exactly what he wanted, and a few barrels of original brew could easily handle the most stubborn rock in the Shadow City, but his face still showed a little embarrassment, "It's just Lord Alma's side, I don't know if I will agree." ”
"I'll talk about it. Hasg patted his chest and said, "Lord Alma is the most benevolent and kind, and knows how hard we have suffered all these years, and if there is a better choice, it will definitely not let us continue to suffer." ”
"Then there is Patriarch Lao in this matter. "It would be nice if Hasg was willing to lead the way and test Alma's attitude.
At that time, you can respond according to the other person's reaction.
One kilogram of 75 degrees of original brewing belly, Hasg has already been drunk, the most bold and talkative time.
Next, Sean proposed to hire the Limestone Clan, which was naturally logical, and he nodded without hesitation, agreeing to help Sean build the Mage Tower first, and then persuade the legendary patrol Naga Alma to open the tunnel to the Eternal Night Army.
The power of the mushrooms, underground gnomes, and mountain dwarves were all united by Sean in different ways, and when the earth-digging purple worm was added to the infrastructure artifact, it exploded with unprecedented energy.
Mushroom people provide logistical food support.
The underground gnomes cooperate with the digging purple insects to build the main body of the mage tower.
The Mountain Dwarves are engaged in the smelting they do best, crafting the steel brackets and metalwork inside the Mage Tower.
After all, the Mage Tower is hundreds of meters underground, and the pressure from the soil layer is far above the ground, and the hardness of the magic masonry itself is far from enough.
Magical steel concrete masonry is king.
Shaun did not rebuild the Lich Mage Tower, but relocated it and built a new Mage Tower.
In doing so, it is not to look down on Angelo's Lich Mage Tower, on the contrary, it is precisely because of the importance attached to it.
There are many techniques in it, which are variants from Angelo's hometown, which are unique and have great reference value, especially the automatic defense system commanded by Taling and his command.
Unauthorized alterations without having it thoroughly eaten will only destroy its integrity.
Sean's newly built mage tower is located directly above the old nest of the Digging Purple Worm.
It is not by chance that the burrowing purple worm chose to nest there.
It is the location with the highest concentration of energy mines in the Shadow City, and there are also a lot of metal minerals around.
There is no ready-made energy reaction chamber available here in the Mage Tower, and a supporting energy reactor must be established to absorb energy by itself, and the richer the magic energy in the general environment, the better.
The shape of the Mage's Tower is neither cylindrical nor square, but polygonal, and has as many as twenty-four faces.
