When he was in the Bauhinia Empire, Stern often heard about the dwarves, he heard the elders say that hundreds of years ago, a dwarven army crossed the arctic ice to the north of the continent of Kadia and established a dwarf village, the name of the village is Pompeii, and then for some unknown reason the dwarves of Pompeii disappeared, no one knows where they went, some people say that they went to the unknown continent on the other side of the arctic ice field, and they migrated from there hundreds of years ago. The planet where the Kadia continent is located is very large, the Kadia continent is like South America on the earth, and it is far away from other states, due to the limitations of navigation technology, the Cadias did not know that there were other continents besides Cadia, until the arrival of the dwarves hundreds of years ago gradually changed the concept of the Cadias people, but later I don't know why the dwarves of the Kadia continent disappeared, and this question can soon be answered here in Stern.

On the fourth day of Stern's trip to the lake to collect fish, several short and stout figures appeared at the northern entrance of the valley, yes, they were dwarves, and Stern noticed them just as they appeared, which surprised him very much, how could there be dwarves on this deserted island, which was completely unexpected. Stern walked towards the dwarf with an axe on his vigilant face, and Ash also had a bright eye and a bloodthirsty and vicious expression on his face, and ran quickly towards the dwarf. When the dwarves saw such a large timberwolf running towards them, they let out a series of screams, and without saying a word, they turned around and ran, and several dwarves with rudimentary iron tools broke behind them. "Ash, stop, don't hurt them!" Stern hurriedly said loudly to Ash, who obediently stopped at Stern's drink, and now waited for Stern to catch up. Stern quickly ran in the direction where the dwarves were, although the dwarves were also running, but they were quickly caught up by Stern, watching this person and a wolf constantly approaching, the dwarves in front of him were like a great enemy, several middle-aged dwarves pulled the dwarf children, women and old people behind, and said to them loudly, "Run, we will stop them, run!"

Hearing the familiar Cadia language, Stern's heart was full of doubts, "How do you know Cadia?" Stern asked. The dwarves in front of them looked at Stern and Ash, and replied tremblingly, "Our elders have settled in Cadia and become residents of Cadia, and have learned the Cadia language. Seeing that the dwarves spoke a common language with him, Stern was surprised in his heart and said to the dwarves in a calm tone: "Don't be afraid, I am a member of the Bauhinia Empire, and I will not hurt you if I am shipwrecked on this small island." With that, he put away his axe and made Ash retreat a few meters. "You're really not going to hurt us?" asked one of the leading dwarves, suspiciously. "Yes, if I were going to hurt you, I would have let Ash rush up and bite you, will you still stand here properly?" Stern counted, there were about 60 dwarves in front of him, old and young, wearing tattered animal skins, shivering from the cold, watching the dwarves begin to let their guard down, he continued: "If you believe me, come with me, I have a warm place to live there, and a lot of food, where you can rest." "Really? That's great, we haven't had a good rest in days. One of the dwarves said happily. In this way, Ash and Stern led the way, followed by a large group of dwarfs, and marched towards the cave. The dwarves supported each other and slowly followed Stern, their hanging hearts finally relaxed.

After about an hour, Stern led the dwarves to the mouth of the cave, pulled open the wooden fence and got in, "Wow, it's so warm inside, there's such a nice place here." Several of the dwarves cried out in surprise. Stern settled them in the cave and told them that they could rest on the floor here, this cave, which used to be unusually empty and quiet to him, was now crowded with dwarves, and became lively, and the dwarves were very satisfied with the warm environment, and they spread animal skins on the ground, sat on the ground and rested, some took out some dried papayas and ate them, and saw that the companions on the side had nothing to eat and broke off a small piece and distributed it to them, it seemed that their food reserves were also running out, and after a while, the dwarven team began to quiet down under the command of a dwarven leader with a golden beard, and they all lay down on the hides and began to sleep。

Stern didn't bother them, so many people must need a lot of food at night, and a lot of firewood at that time, so he walked out of the cave with Ash alone and went to the nearby woods to cut some branches. 'Click, click...' The jungle echoed with the sound of Stern's incessant chopping of wood, which had been chopping for most of the afternoon, and had been bundled with vines in six bundles. Stern fastened four of the bundles to Ash's back, and the other two on his shoulders, and walked step by step towards the cave. Back then, Stern moved all of his belongings into a canvas-wrapped space to keep the dwarves from damaging his things. Stern had piled up three piles of firewood in the cave, and had brought two iron basins from the ship, one he had been using for cooking, and the other for washing food, and now he had set them on the fire, filled with cut pieces of fish

He lit the two fires with flint and called some of the dwarves and told them to add firewood to them. In addition to the fish, Stern took a pigmon's leg and roasted it on another fire. In the past, when only one fire was lit, most of the smoke from the fire would float out from the cracks in the roof of the cave, but now that there are three fires, some of the smoke is left in the cave and cannot be dissipated, but fortunately, the cave is still quite large, and the smoke that floats out does not affect the normal life of people. The dwarven leader with the long golden beard saw Stern roasting the legs of the Pygmons with his own hands, and stepped forward to take his place.

Spare time, Stern began to sharpen the branches with his dagger, and with his swift movements, pair after pair of chopsticks did so, handing all the finished chopsticks to the Goldenbeard Dwarf, and letting him distribute them to each dwarf. The food on the three fires gave off an intoxicating aroma, and many of the dwarves looked intoxicated, and learned from the dwarves that almost all of them who were not old enough had never eaten fish, and that the smell of fish was the first time they had smelled it, and they couldn't wait to taste the fish with their chopsticks.
