Chapter 394: Whereabouts (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
More and more young dwarves are forgetting their clan names, (the last word of the dwarven name is the clan name, and the wild dwarves have no clan name) and they are more likely to recognize the Hammer Guild, which is completely contrary to the purpose for which the guild was created in the first place.
There is nothing they can do about this, and in fact, how much do they know about the history of the Copperbeard Clan? After thousands of years of wandering, most of the glorious history has been lost, and they can only get a glimpse of the glory of their ancestors from the remaining classics.
That's why Greg said that the Copperbeard Clan is dying out, and it is estimated that in a few hundred years, no one will take the former Copperbeard Clan seriously.
Hearing this, Solam could only shrug helplessly, it seemed that his grandfather's efforts were in vain.
"By the way, how did you remember to ask that?" At this time, Greg suddenly reacted, how could Soram ask about these things? And how did he know he was from the Copperbeard Clan?
"Uh...... This ......" Solam was suddenly a little speechless, he didn't think about it that much just now, just thinking about their copy of Thor's hammer. Now that Greg suddenly asked about this, it was really hard for Soram to answer.
Do you tell them that the real Mjolnir is in your own hands? It's not impossible, but I'm afraid that this group of dwarves will suddenly be greedy and come to kill people and seize treasures, what can he do? It's not that he's afraid, with the "crown of kings", Solam is not afraid of anyone, and if he can't beat it, he can just summon the cloud giant.
But Solam didn't want to make trouble for himself, and he wasn't afraid of it, but Soram didn't want to fight for some reason, so he simply made up a nonsense and said: "I'm just curious, I once saw the relevant records in a travelogue, so I asked more, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
As soon as Greg heard this, most of his doubts were immediately dispelled, their Copperbeard Clan was once a very powerful clan, and it was not surprising that it was recorded in some travelogues.
Greg was dispelled, but there was someone whose doubts were not dispelled, that is, Tolkien, he was different from Greg, although Greg was an elder, but he did not manage the business, but was obsessed with blacksmithing, otherwise it would be impossible to touch the threshold of the master.
But he Tolkien is different, he is so-so in his talent for blacksmithing, but he can manage business, dealing with those treacherous and cunning human profiteers every day, seeing too much deceit, Solam's secretive performance, in his eyes is simply full of loopholes.
For example, if he called out that Greg was from the Copperbeard Clan, there was a big problem! How did Soram know about this? The fact that these people are from the Copperbeard Clan is that even the ordinary dwarves of the guild don't know much, after all, the guild has never taken the initiative to publicize it.
They are on human territory, and humans can tolerate them forming guilds, doing business, and even grabbing territory, but it is impossible not to let the Copperbeard Clan recover again. After all, re-raising the banner of the clan is not the same as the guild, then it is a rebellion.
In any case, the clan is also a sign of government, and unless the king and the council of justice are dead, it is impossible to allow a kingdom within a city to appear in Port Carlin, even in name, this is a matter of principle, and there is no room for concession.
Therefore, the word Copperbeard Clan is only said by these old guys in private, and it should be remembered. People who know about this also think that this kind of thing is nothing, as long as the Hammer Guild is not prepared to restore the clan system.
If it is said that it was found out by Solam, it is nothing, after all, this matter is not very secret. But when Soram first asked this question, his expression and tone showed that he knew about the Copperbeard Clan beforehand, but he didn't know that they were from the Copperbeard Clan.
So how did he come up with the idea that Greg was from the Copperbeard Clan? Thinking back to his original question, he asked Greg if he had ever seen Mjolnir.
It's easy to guess that he guessed the Copperbeard Clan from Thor's Hammer! It's not strange to know about the Copperbeard Clan, but it's strange to know about Thor's Hammer and know that Thor's Hammer is related to the Copperbeard Clan.
Because Thor's hammer was taken away by the warriors who saved the clan from the moment it was born, and after thousands of years, Thor's hammer completely disappeared.
Now, if it weren't for those remnants of the classics, it would be impossible for the remnants of their Copperbeard Clan to know, let alone outsiders.
Where did he Soram know? As for the so-called travelogue that Soram said, Tolkien did not believe it a hundred times, so how could such a secret message appear in a random travelogue?
So Tolkien is sure that Soram is talking nonsense, he definitely knows the whereabouts of Thor's hammer, at least he has seen Thor's hammer, otherwise he can't know that Thor's hammer is related to the Copperbeard clan!
Thinking of this, Tolkien could no longer suppress his excitement, Thor's hammer! That was the pride of their Copperbeard Clan, and this thing was not a legend, but a real thing. It was a testament to the glory and defeat of their ancestors, and Tolkien would have no regrets in his life if he could see this legendary hammer.
Because this war hammer is so special, it has witnessed the last afterglow of the glory of the Copperbeard Clan, even if the Copperbeard Clan at that time had decayed like that, and the master blacksmith. It also marked the fall of the Copperbeard Clan, and since then, the Copperbeard Clan has never had a Dwarven Master, and finally even lost their home.
This warhammer has surpassed its original value, and it is the best interpretation of the history of the Copperbeard Clan!
"Lord Solam, have you seen Thor's Hammer?" Tolkien looked at Soram with excitement, trying to keep his tone calm, but the slight trilling betrayed him.
Solam was still chatting with Greg, and he had also studied blacksmithing for a while, and he learned it well, so he and Greg still had a lot in common in this regard. But Tolkien suddenly interjected such a sentence, which surprised Soram.
"What? I didn't ......" There was inevitably a little panic in his tone, there was no way, Soram was not prepared at all, and it was inevitable to be startled by Tolkien's sudden words.
Hearing Solam's tone, Tolkien suddenly changed from five to eight, if he hadn't lied, what was the alarm? So Tolkien quickly interrupted Solam.
"You don't have to deny it, I'm a lot older, I don't have anything else, I'm still very confident in my eyesight, and you're not very good at lying." Tolkien didn't give Solam any chance to quibble, because he wanted his guess to be true.
At the same time, Tolkien's words attracted all the dwarven elders, and they all looked at Soram with wide eyes, Thor's hammer may be just a legendary weapon for others, but for the remnants of their Copperbeard Clan, it represents too much.
And Greg was even more excited and hugged Solam's thighs directly. (His height can only hug his thighs)
"Lord Solam, is Tolkien telling the truth? Have you really seen Mjolnir? Where is it? ”
To his fellow dwarves, Thor's hammer may be a sacred artifact, but for Greg more than that, if he can see the real Mjolnir, then he has a chance to go to the last step and become a true dwarven master.
Greg's this, made Solam a little embarrassed, being held like this by a bad old man is not a good experience, this guy doesn't know how many days since he took a shower, the smell on his body is really not good, more importantly. Don't look at this old man's age, his strength is really not small, and he almost broke Solam's leg this time.
"Wait,, you let go first, hiss...... Damn, if you don't let it go, you're welcome! ”
"Don't let go! Tell me where Thor's hammer is, or I won't let it go, even if you kill me! "And Greg simply cheated on Thor's hammer, Thor's hammer is too important.
"Greg! Let go, you're so ugly! ”
Originally, the other elders were about to interject to ask about the whereabouts of Thoram's hammer, but when they saw Greg's appearance, the group felt that this guy was really ugly, what was this, the child was fooling? Anyway, he is also a dignified Hammer Guild Elder, and if it gets out, the entire guild will be embarrassed.
"Nope! As long as he says where Thor's hammer is! I'm just letting go! But now Greg, whose mind is full of Thor's hammer, can't listen to it at all, not only is he not obedient, but on the contrary, he is holding it tighter and tighter.
Solam had no choice but to say, "Okay, I said it can't be done?" You let go first! ”
As soon as he heard this, Greg immediately raised his head and looked at Soram and said, "Really? ”
"Really, let go!" Soram now says that he doesn't know about Thor's hammer, and it is estimated that the dwarves will not believe it either. So it's better to just say a little more, in addition. If this old boy continues to hold himself like this, if these dwarves are a little evil, it will be a little difficult for him to run.
"Okay, okay, I'll let go." After saying that, he let go of Soram and retreated, but his eyes were still fixed on Soram, for fear that he would run away by accident. "Okay, I'll let it go too, you say!"
"Okay, before I say that, you have to tell me what you are going to do when you know the whereabouts of Mjolnir?" Solam is also a little unsure, it is better to ask first how these dwarves will react after learning the whereabouts of Thor's hammer.
"Of course it's back, what else can I do?" Greg spoke immediately, and in his mind, it was originally from their Copperbeard Clan, and there was nothing wrong with them taking it back.
The other dwarves nodded when they heard this, this thing was more than a legendary weapon to them, and if they could get it back, it would be better to keep it in their own hands. [.]
