"Then you haven't been to the Black Temple to inquire about the news?"

"The Black Temple? The people of the Black Temple have always been elusive, and we don't know their strongholds, so ......"

The more Muhammad spoke, the more guilty he became, he could find a bunch of reasons for looking at Cloud Shadow, but the biggest reason was that they were afraid, afraid of the inhumane scum of the Black Temple!

"Well, I see, we can only think long now."

Yun Ying is a more transparent person, she naturally saw the subtext of the dwarf patriarch at a glance, but she can't have any accusations, no one deserves everything for the other, no matter how close their relationship is - in fact, even Yun Ying himself doesn't plan to go to the Black Temple to go toe-to-toe, maybe after finding Yin Feng, she can ask him what he thinks.

"That's all it takes, Miss Yunying, let's take a look at my latest work."

Muhammad sighed and put Old York's pre-emptive aside, he had more important things to do at the moment - it was about the dwarves and crescents living in the tunnels.

"Look, this is a longsword forged from iron ore that has been tempered ten times, it is very suitable for people with flexible bodies, this is chain mail made of cuprite, we have added a simple inscription to it to resist some physical damage, and this - this is an amethyst ball, in which the magician infuses it with magic power to throw it will produce a strong explosive effect, I think Miss Cloud Shadow should have two ...... You're a gifted magician, you've been an archmage since you were young, and it's no wonder that someone as difficult as Old York would look at you differently, and now you're the confidant of Principal Mario, the owner of Bolunc Manor...... I'm not wrong, right? ”

Principal Mario?! The owner of Bouronck Manor?! A hint of surprise flashed in Cloud Shadow's eyes and finally strung together the whole mystery, no wonder there will be a portrait of Principal Mario on the display wall of the ancestors of Bolunc Manor, no wonder that Bolunck Manor will develop into a situation in just a hundred years, all because of the support of the alchemy master Mario, Cloud Shadow suddenly remembered that Garin had said a long time ago that Principal Mario and the Flaming family had a great relationship.

"Cloud Shadow...... Miss Cloud Shadow? ”

Cloud Shadow's sudden contemplation made the dwarven patriarch a little apprehensive, and he was worried that Cloud Shadow was blaming him for talking too much. After all, many people will be unhappy because they are seen clearly.

"Ah, just call me Cloud Shadow, I'm sorry, I'm just marveling at how powerful you are Patriarch Muhammad, I didn't know that the dwarves also have a knack for magic or something."

Cloud Shadow looked around at the things on the shelf, casually making an excuse for his distraction just now.

"Hey, we dwarves are obsessed with smelting every day, and we don't have time to learn those things at all, I just know some secret methods, just like the chain mail I just introduced to Yunying - I will use inscriptions to make it have some strange effects, these are all the secret methods of our dwarf race."

Because of the relationship between Bolunk Manor and Old York, Muhammad seems to trust Cloud Shadow. Who would have thought that the dwarven patriarch, who had never been waiting to see humans, would tell the latter about the secret method at this time, and he would also kindly simplify "Miss Cloud Shadow" to "Cloud Shadow".

"Patriarch Muhammad, can I ask you some questions from the past?"

Feeling Muhammad's trust, Cloud Shadow thought that the time was ripe for her words.

"You say."

"Actually, I came out of Boulenc Manor in a hurry this time. After I learned the secret of the portrait, I headed straight north with two retinues without daring to alarm anyone, so I didn't know what the agreement between Headmaster Mario and the dwarves was before. ”

Yun Ying made up the story without changing her face, and Ji Lie and Fei Ke, who didn't know anything outside the door, wouldn't refute her anyway.

"Oh, I see, Yunying, you didn't tell others that you were very cautious. The sudden and unilateral severance of contact with us at Boulunc Manor more than thirty years ago is already very strange, and maybe there is some surprise in it, in fact, if I hadn't heard you mention the portrait of Principal Mario, I wouldn't have believed that you were sent by Bolunck Manor - because Principal Mario and I had already agreed that the person who came in his place must mention his portrait, or else he would be killed! ”

God, Muhammad's implicit murderous explanation made Cloud Shadow's heart beat wildly. Is this a crooked beating? Although the strong middle-aged dwarf in front of him frankly admits that he doesn't know much magic, he knows the gap between the two just by not being able to see through his strength.

"Uh, can you tell me about your agreement with Principal Mario now?"

"Huh. Of course, it's pretty simple - Headmaster Mario just wants to trade his food and clothes for me for weapons and other metalwork, and you don't know that the things we dwarves forge for him can fill ten of my workshops. ”

Weapons? Yun Ying's eyes widened, as a time-traveler with 21st century knowledge, she naturally knew the importance of cold weapons to the feudal era, and as a time-traveler who had adapted to life in the Kira continent, she knew even more about the dependence of the strong in this era on high-end cold weapons. But the problem is, an alchemist. What does he want so many things that can kill people? Thinking like this, Yunying naturally also has a heart for the Boulunck Manor that takes the road of independent development.

"Well, then come as agreed, Patriarch Muhammad, make a list - I'll have someone bring you what you need."

Yun Ying's heart twisted and turned, the expression on her face did not change at all, and she even thought that she should be greedy for a few good weapons of the dwarf clan to fill her pockets.

"Really? That's great, you don't know that we dwarves can't get clothes in seclusion......"

The dwarven patriarch's tone was low, as the head of the clan, he really couldn't bear to let his people live in such poverty.

"I see, but didn't you even think of sneaking out to buy some clothes for yourself?"

"Alas, at the beginning, Principal Mario helped us dig tunnels just to avoid the sweep of the soldiers of the Ania Empire, so we would sneak out and disguise ourselves as humans to change some things, but since the Black Temple, we dwarves have been staying underground all year round, and after a long time, we will occasionally run around the wasteland overhead, but a few days ago, someone actually burned a large number of scavenging rats we raised with magic, and the people nearby did not see the appearance of those people clearly due to the distance and the fierce fire...... I don't even think it's safe to come to the wasteland. ”

Roasted scavenger ...... Cloud Shadow won't admit that she did it.

"By the way, I haven't asked Headmaster Mario where he is, why hasn't he been in contact with us dwarves again?"

Speaking of which, Headmaster Mario is definitely a great benefactor of the dwarves, and Muhammad mentions him with obvious gratitude.
