Chapter 65: The Town
In the blink of an eye, another period of time has passed. The four of Venn had already reached the last section of the road by this time, which was a zigzag mountain road, which could be followed until it reached the halfway point of the mountain. This section of the road is already extremely safe, and there is no need to be as cautious as in a swamp, and although you can't completely let your guard down, there is not much to be aware of.
From afar, the end of the road is in sight, and at the end is a dwarven town protected by a stone wall. Vane and the others quickened into the town, which was as lively as Minethil Harbour. Most of the people who were busy going back and forth were dwarves and gnomes, and few humans were mixed in.
This is normal, most of the goods here are shipped from the port of Minethil to the dwarves or gnomes, or the specialties of the dwarves and gnomes are shipped to the port of Minethil for shipment to the entire continent. Only a very small number of them are transported here by land from the human Arathi, or after purchasing items here, they are directly transported back to the human forces of Arathi by land.
Although there is also a human kingdom of Azeroth to the south of the dwarves and gnomes, it is clear that that kingdom would take too long and cost too much if it were to be transported by land. Therefore, the kingdom of Azeroth was able to communicate with other human kingdoms and racial powers by sea. The human kingdom of Kurtilas is in the position of a considerable maritime force.
After arriving in this town, Walker consciously led the way and led the three young High Elves to the inn.
"The innkeepers here are my uncle and aunt, just like my family, except that my father was obsessed with archaeology, so my mother was the only one who ran the inn. That's why my mother asked me to help out in the store. As he spoke, Walker led the three of Vane into the inn. And shouted, "Hey, uncle." Long time no see. ”
"Oh, Walker boy, it's been a long time. You haven't come to see your uncle since you attended the ceremony. I took such good care of you when you were a child. As soon as Walker shouted, Walker's uncle jumped up from the counter and came to Walker and complained to Walker in three or two steps.
"I can't blame it, my father went to archaeology, and my mother, Sharna, was the only one in my family's shop, so I had to stay and help." Walker explained, confronted by his uncle's complaints.
"Yes, I know that your father is an archaeology fan, when he was a child, he often went to the mountains to dig and dig happily, and was often scolded by the elders, so that I also accompanied him to be laughed at by the children of other clans." Hearing Walker's words, his uncle clasped his hands in front of his chest and shook his head and sighed: "I just didn't expect that you are already an adult, and he is still like this." Ay~. ”
"Okay, don't talk about that, I brought a friend to stay at the hotel. Do you still have good rooms? If not, we'll have to look elsewhere. Walker interrupted his uncle's exclamation and told him about the hotel.
"What do you say, you kid has itchy skin, don't you? Since you have brought your friends, your uncle and I will also vacate the best room for you to live in, even if we drive people away. How many rooms do you want? Walker's uncle jumped at Walker's words and slapped Walker on the head.
"Oh, it hurts." Walker clutched his head and looked unhappy, and when he was about to say something, he saw his uncle's waiting eyes and reluctantly swallowed the words into his stomach. Turning his head, he asked Vane Sandao, "How many rooms do we need?" ”
Faced with Walker's question, Wayne didn't even have to think about it, and said directly: "Two rooms are enough, but if you can't do one, we can only stay for one day, and we will leave for Ironforge Castle tomorrow." ”
When Walker and Vane were talking, Walker's uncle had already fixed his eyes, and after Vane finished speaking, Walker's uncle opened his mouth and asked Walker, "This is your friend?" Walker boys, if I'm not mistaken, they're still young High Elves, right? You kid won't sneak the three of them out, will you? ”
"How is that possible?" Walker jerked in place, "I brought them here with Sharna's consent." If it weren't for that, Sharna wouldn't have let me go. ”
"Well, that's true." His uncle didn't care about Walker's excitement at all, he just thought about Walker's words for a while, and then felt that this was indeed the case, so he turned his head and ignored Walker, and instead said to the three of Vane: "Okay, I'll take you to the room." There are just a few vacant superior rooms available for you to stay. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back. Walker saw that his uncle ignored his reaction, so when his uncle led the way, he turned to the three of Vane as he followed, "Let's go, the best room here is great." After all, it's relatively close to Ironforge, so it's easier to buy all kinds of things. In a moment, put your things down, and I'll show you around town. There's a lot of stuff here that you won't see in Minethil Harbor. ”
"Yes, there are a lot of dwarven and dwarf specialties here that you can't buy anywhere else. I suggest you check out the toy store not far from the inn, it should have something you're interested in. As soon as Walker finished speaking, his uncle spoke in front of him.
"Is there a toy store here? How come I don't remember? As soon as Walker heard his uncle's words, he immediately asked suspiciously.
"It's not been open for a long time, less than five years." Walker's uncle replied.
"No, no, no. I'm asking, can toy stores make money here? This is not Minethil Harbor, there are all races, there are only dwarves and gnomes here, who would come here to buy toys? Walker asked, frowning.
"Hahahaha, Walker Kid. You'd be wrong. You must know that there are many dwarves in this town who live here all year round, how can there be no children. Didn't you often come here to play when you were a kid when you were on vacation? Walker's uncle explained to Walker with a smile.
"Oh. I see. That's right, I used to come to this town to play when I was younger. So people do buy these toys. Walker nodded knowingly when he heard the explanation.
"No, Walker, I think you're mistaken." Wayne then spoke, "It shouldn't be the children who buy these toys, but the adult dwarves and gnomes who have children at home." ”
"Huh? Why? When Walker heard Vane's words, he was stunned, he didn't understand what Vane meant.
"Quite simply, little ones don't have the money to buy those toys. And out of love for children who come from afar or are away for a long time, the elders should pay for some interesting toys to give to those little ones. So the toys should be bought by adult dwarves and gnomes who come with small children in the house. ”
"Is that so? Uncle. When Walker heard this, he didn't know if Vane was right, so he asked his uncle.
"Oh, little one, you're such a good material for business." Walker's uncle complimented Vane and replied, "That's right, Walker, it's a toy store, but the people who buy toys in it are adult dwarves and gnomes. ”
"That's weird, isn't it?" Although he got the answer, Walker still felt a little incomprehensible.
By this time, they had reached the upper floor of the inn, and Walker's uncle opened the two opposite doors and said to them, "All right, this is it." ”
