3. Old Friends - Chapter 16
Dick walked into the Black Iron Bar, the place in front of him was much wider than he remembered, the area was at least 5 times larger, at a glance, there were at least hundreds of people sitting in the hall, and the number of Black Iron Dwarves was not much, more were strangers in strange costumes.

Minotaurs and trolls sit together drinking, humans and elves flirt in the corner, drunk gnomes stand on the table and do a comical dance, causing the goblins and orcs next to them to laugh, and Dick even sees dragonmen, of course, in human form, the same as Darth now.
The noise, the scolding, the clinking of glasses, the fist-to-flesh fights, the dim changing lights, all of them gave Dick a sense of unreality, as if he were in one of those mysterious nightclubs rather than a bars of the wizarding world.
But the warmth of Liadline's palms reminded him that it was all real.
Dick shook his head and walked into the crowd with Liadline and Verinde, Darth and Demytil, who had other paladins as escorts, could only move around the periphery, and they quickly blended into the crowd and went for fun.
Originally, this outfit was a bit eye-catching, but when he actually walked in the hustle and bustle of the Black Iron Bar, Dick found that his outfit was very ordinary, there were too many people in strange costumes here, and Liadline caused a burst of exclamations, in addition to the luxurious long dress, more of a praise for the beauty of the elves.
Of course, in any bar, there is no shortage of conflicts, such as the black iron dwarf in front of Dick, who was holding a wine glass and drank drowsily, judging by the pendant of his dirty military uniform, this guy was still a black iron dwarf officer.
"Hey, disgusting human, leave your female companion behind, and get out!"
The surrounding voices suddenly quieted down, Dick turned his head to look, the eyes of these guys around him, there was a light of good show, the paladin tilted his head, stared at the black iron drunkard, and asked playfully,
"Are you sure?"
"Hahaha, boy, who doesn't know Captain Rocknott here, leave your female companion behind, and get out, do you still want to stay here and watch the uncle give you a live show?"
"Hahahaha!"
"Look at that guy's cowardly!"
"Phew, humans are a bunch of cowards!"
"I'm betting on my military salary this month, and the sergeant can beat him so much that his mother doesn't even know him!"
Under the coaxing of the people, the drunkard's hand was not honest, and he reached out and touched Liadline's leg, and then the people heard Dick's indifferent voice,
"Put your dirty hands... Take it away!"
"Bang!"
The dwarf was only half the height of a normal human, and so was the black iron dwarf who claimed to be the captain, and Dick's foot kicked out, just in his face, and this scene made Verinde can't help but bare her teeth, and it hurts to look at it.
The moment his feet touched the dwarf's face, the drunkard felt as if he had been hit by a cannonball head-on, his round body rubbed in the air, and even brought out the sound of whirring wind, and when he smashed three barrels and smashed them against the wall of the bar, a shallow humanoid depression appeared in the wall.
The physical fitness of the dwarves is really against the sky, so they are not dead.
Dick scolded, then turned his head to look at the crowd around him, and most of the bar was silent, even the joyous beat of the "Minotaur Chiefs" who were playing feverishly stopped for a few seconds.
Although Dick thinks that his lord rank is not worth mentioning, and most of the people who come into contact with him now are stronger than him, but to be honest, the warriors of the lord rank, no matter which force they put in, can be called a commander, after all, the strength of this thing, the higher you go, the rarer it becomes, and the high-level lords are basically the top combat power of the major kingdoms in the war.
Not any country can be like Cadore, just like Cadore, and it is two epic heroes who stand up.
Although the water in the black iron bar is very deep, most of the visitors are just ordinary people, this scene is really shocking, and some noble ladies even let out a delicate and contrived cry because of this.
No one dared to meet Dick's eyes, and all the guys he saw lowered their heads silently, as if nothing had happened just now.
Until a short figure stood in front of Dick, it was a dwarf, an eccentric dwarf, with a red cowboy hat and a pale red robe, and he stretched out his hand with only four fingers, facing Dick, and said in a childlike voice peculiar to a dwarf,
"Destroy my barrel, I have to clean up this wall, 20 gold coins compensation, or get out!
Dick's eyes narrowed, but the next moment he was smiling again, reached out and took a money bag from his backpack, put it in the palm of the dwarf's hand, and said loudly,
"Here are 150 gold coins, the extra one, give every friend here a glass of wine, is it enough?"
The dwarf put the money bag in the palm of his hand and turned it upside down, and also showed a big smile,
"Of course, generous guests, you are welcome at the Black Iron Bar, Namara, leave that damn drunkard alone, add a glass to everyone, and let us thank the generous knight!"
The act made the silence of the Black Iron Bar cheerful again, and the strangely dressed fellows praised Dick's generosity, even though they didn't even know Dick's name, and as for poor Captain Rocknot, who remembered him?
Dick shrugged his shoulders and sat in the corner of the bar with his two female companions, the dwarf was supposed to be the owner of the Black Iron Bar, the dwarf warlock Prager, who was a weak chicken in the game, but Dick had just had an exchange with him. It took a lot of effort for the paladin to suppress the riot of the Holy Light, which proves that this guy is not an ordinary bar owner.
"Two glasses of Highland agave, a glass of juice for this young lady, thank you. ”
Dick threw out three gold coins, and the dwarf boss glanced at him, and quickly put three glasses of wine on the bar.
"Young man, you look very young, is it your first time at the Black Iron Bar?"
Dick took a sip of the sweet and spicy wine and said casually, "It's not the first time..."
"Alright, Prager, this is my friend, don't get to the bottom of him, this is a big guy you can't afford to mess with. ”
A deep voice interrupted Dick's words, the paladin did not look back, he heard who the voice belonged to, and the next moment, the black-robed man beside Dick obediently got up and left, and Baron Aberlock, who was holding a cane, sat on the chair beside Dick.
An innocent smile bloomed on the face of the dwarf warlock Prager when he saw Baron Aberlock, and then he took out a large basket of fruit from the bar and placed it in front of the werewolf girl, who was a little uncomfortable with this noisy environment.
"For the sake of the baron, enjoy the happy time, young man. ”
After saying that, the dwarf boss went to go about his business, and Dick turned his face, looked at the Baron Aberlock, and laughed,
"Can't you see, brother Canressad, you're still a baron?"
Baron Eberlock, also known as the Warlock Kanressad, shrugged, "My dad is also a duke, so I was born a baron, what, do you have any opinions?"
"No. ”
Dick picked up his glass and shook it in front of his eyes, his eyes narrowed behind the crystal clear liquid, "But won't you tell me about this place?"
The warlock who had crossed paths was silent for a few minutes, and then lowered his voice,
"Mr. Dick, you shouldn't have come here, you don't belong to this place, this is one of the five strongholds of the Dark World, you must know that as long as your identity is revealed, at least a third of the people here will try to kill you and take your head to the Assassins League to receive a reward. ”
As he spoke, Kanressad looked at the crowd and accentuated his tone, "Even those paladins and those two dragonmen you brought with you can't protect you from leaving!"
"It's my thing!"
Dick bared his teeth, "Now it's up to you to answer my question, stronghold of the Dark World?" ”
"Of course you haven't heard of it, in fact, even many guys mixed in the dark world haven't heard of this statement, Faywood's Shadow Castle, the Black Iron Bar in Blackstone Mountain, the Assassin's Manor in the Hills Brad Hills, the deepest part of the sewers in Dalaran, the last place I don't even know, in short, these five places are the safe zones and shelters divided by the lords of the dark world, and any dark walker here can be sheltered. ”
As he drank, Kanressad said to Dick,
"Because it's a safe zone, the hidden water here is very deep, you were too reckless just now, many people have noticed you, but I'm still a bit of a deterrent here, so leave with me in a while, Prager has no ill will towards you, but it doesn't mean that Black Iron and Black Stone are not interested in you. ”
"No hurry! make a deal, Kanressad. ”
Dick put down his glass and said to the Warlock, "Find a quiet place where we can talk, and trust me, you won't want to miss this deal." ”
Kanressad glanced at Dick, then reached out and snapped his fingers,
"Prager, lend me your secret room!"
"A demonic heart, otherwise don't talk about it!"
The dwarf reached out and took out a key, smug it in front of him, Dick reached out and took the key, and Liadline cooperated and took out two boxes from the storage ring, and the paladin supported his chin with his arm and looked at Prag,
"I'll give you two high-end goods, which are considered gifts from friends. ”
The dwarf hesitated for a moment, reached out and touched the two boxes into the bar, and then pursed his lips, "Hehe, the kindness of the Earl of the North, this is really flattering, Wilfred's idiot is also taken care of by you, so let's return the gift with a message." ”
A hint of cunning flashed in the dwarf's turquoise eyes, and he lowered his voice,
"Lord Earl, a lot of people know you're looking for those madmen, I mean Twilight, but they're looking for you too, so be careful. ”
Three minutes later, in the deepest chamber of the Black Iron Bar, Dick and Liadline sat on a couch made of black bear skin, and Verinde stood behind Dick with the basket of fruit. Kanressad sat on the other side, and behind him stood two warlocks he had never seen.
The warm fireplace lit up the dimly lit chamber, and the thud of the firewood made the environment less quiet, and Dick took a wooden box more than a man high from his rucksack and placed it on the table.
Karesader raised his hand, and as he was about to uncover the wooden box, Dick's hand pressed against the surface of the box.
"Kanressad, think clearly, once you open this box, you have no way back. ”
The paladin's voice was soft, but the unmistakable meaning in it was extremely obvious, "You know best which big people stand behind me, if you don't want to be the enemy of most of the world, think carefully before making a decision." ”
Baron Eberlock glanced at Dick, lowered his head, pondered for a few minutes, and crossed his hands on his upturned legs,
"If someone else says that, I'll just take it as a joke, but you, the Green Dragon Legion monitors the whole world, and if they want to arrest me, it's really useless for me to hide anywhere, so let's talk about it first, what do you want me to do, or rather, what do you want from me?"
The paladin's tongue licked his chapped lips, he took off his mask and leaned forward,
"Twilight's hammer, the black dragon, and the Copperbeard Princess. ”
"It can't be!"
Kanressad shook his head, picked up his cane and stood up directly, he took his hat from the warlock next to him and buckled it on his head,
"It's crazy! No sane person can mess with Black Iron, Black Stone, and Black Dragon at the same time! Dick! I seriously doubt you're crazy!"
"Don't be so excited, friend, why don't you look at the reward first, I think this cute little thing is worth it for you to fight against the world!"
