Chapter 395: The Bottom Line of Dwarves (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
"But that weapon belongs to the owner, how are you going to get it back?" Soram then asked.
"Huh? How so? Didn't Thor's Warhammer not appear for thousands of years? How can there be a Lord? As soon as Soram's words came out, the group of dwarves were stunned, in the past few thousands, Thor's hammer has not appeared on the continent very much, how can there be a master?
In the speculation of this group of dwarves, this legendary warhammer should be lost, otherwise how could there be no news for so many years? That's a legendary warhammer, as long as someone has it, it will definitely be used, and there will never be no news at all, after all, who would hide such an important warhammer for thousands of years?
Not to mention, there really is, hasn't the shaman of Solam's line been passed down for I don't know how many years, and has never been used? Nonsense, before Soram woke up, it was a mascot with more symbolic meaning than practical significance, who would run around with such an important and useless war hammer? What should I do if I lose it?
"Am I lying to you? That warhammer does have a master, and that master is the descendant of the warriors who saved the Copperbeard Clan in your legend, and that warhammer has always been passed down in their lineage, which I have seen with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, I can swear by the magic web! ”
Solam didn't tell a lie, he did see it with his own eyes, after all, it was passed into his hands, so even if he swore with the magic net, it was nothing, anyway, he didn't lie.
The credibility of a spellcaster's oath with the magic net is still very high, and no mage dares to break the oath to the magic net, and the trouble it brings is definitely not small. The light will reduce the casting level, and the worst will make the magic net directly close to him, completely losing the ability to cast spells with the magic net.
Several dwarven elders looked at each other, a little overwhelmed, and Solam had said it all, as if he was not lying. They had always thought that the warrior had died in that unknown place, after all, after saving the Copperbeard Clan, they had never heard from that warrior again.
Now they suddenly heard that the warrior still has descendants, and has also passed on the warhammer, which makes them not know what to do.
"Do you know him, then?" Tolkien felt that since Soram was so swearing, it must be someone who knew the warrior's descendants, and might be able to start with Solam.
After all, if the hammer of Thor is ownerless, then it is nothing for them to take it back, but if there is a master, and it is also the descendant of warriors who have great kindness to their ancestors, they can't use it, although they have lived in Port Carlin for so many years, but the dwarf temperament in their bones has not been completely lost.
So they can't do this kind of revenge, of course, it doesn't mean that they don't want to get back the war hammer, no, do they plan to do something through Solam, but what they don't know is that the war hammer is in Solam's hands, and they were completely misled by Soram's truth.
"Cooked! Cooked can't be cooked. ", it's himself, how can he not be familiar?
Hearing this, Tolkien and the others were happy for a while, and there was a channel of communication. Everything is negotiable, isn't it?
"Then can you communicate with him, we want to buy back that war hammer, whatever he wants, as long as we have it, we can exchange it!" At this time, the Great Elder Abak stood up and spoke, in the end, it was the Great Elder, who spoke very loudly, and directly said what he wanted and gave him.
"Impossible! If I really promised you, I would have to be beaten to death when I went back, but his elders didn't die, and you want me to say that I sold their inheritance, isn't that looking for death? I'm not that stupid. ”
Soram really dares to say this, his teacher's black hand is definitely the first to jump out to clean up the portal, it is estimated that even his two uncles and his grandfather will teach him a lesson this bastard who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, the Avalon orcs are very respectful of the ancestors, and any disrespect for the ancestors will be punished.
"This ...... This...... Is everything negotiable, isn't it? Tolkien saw that Soram had refused so simply, so he could only bite the bullet and speak, they really didn't want to lose this opportunity.
"Discuss? Otherwise, where is your ancestral grave? I'm going to dig them all out, and I'm going to throw their bones all over the place, and let the vultures devour their bones as much as they want, and then I'll help you say okay?" ”
"What?!! Of course not, Lord Solam! While we appreciate your help, you can't insult us so much! Ancestors are not to be blasphemed! ”
Although in the Faren Continent, people's souls will return to the Kingdom of God after death, this does not mean that they will look down on the remains, otherwise there will not be so many funeral customs in the Faren Continent, and all the desecration of the bodies of the deceased is a big sin.
And the dwarves happen to be a race that reveres their ancestors very much, and Solam's words can be regarded as an insult, so those dwarves all look at Soram angrily.
"Negotiable?"
"Absolutely no !!"
"Still, Thor's hammer is their inheritance, I went and said that they wanted to sell it, what is the difference between what I just said, it's not an insult to the ancestors. Oh, when you come to you, you can't negotiate with you, why should you come to them and you can negotiate it? I can tell you, they are much more tempered than you, and if they say that, it will be absolutely unstoppable. ”
Well, this Soram dares to guarantee that although the Avalon orcs are not as crazy as the black orcs, they are also short-tempered, as long as Soram dares to speak, the best ending waiting for Soram is to be broken by the black hand. Besides, how could Soram agree to such a thing? Although he is not a traditional orc, he can't deceive his master and destroy his ancestors no matter how he moves, right?
"Uh......" all the dwarves have nothing to say, even Tolkien, who is the most talkative, can't say anything, how to say it? Is it really up to Solam to desecrate the bones of his ancestors? If he dared to say it, he didn't care if Soram did it or not, he would be smashed into meat sauce by the angry dwarves.
Although ordinary dwarves don't have much feeling for the Copperbeard Clan, the respect for ancestors has been deeply rooted in the blood of every dwarf, and no one will joke about their ancestors, and it is not okay to talk about them.
"Is there really no way?"
"No, unless you're going to kill and take the treasure."
"That'...... is impossible...... We can't do that. ”
Actually, Tolkien really had this idea, but as soon as this idea came out, it was overturned by Tolkien, indeed, these copperbearded dwarves are depraved, they have forgotten the glory of their ancestors, and have to get involved with those treacherous human merchants.
Over the years, they have violated the code of conduct of many dwarves by doing things, so much so that many dwarves with a long tradition simply ignore these dwarves of the Hammer Guild, thinking that they are a bunch of depraved fellows.
Judging from the moral code of the dwarves, the Hammer Guild is indeed not a good person, murder, robbery, fraud, bullying and domination, etc., all kinds of bad things that can be said, the Hammer Guild has done.
But there was only one thing, Tolkien really couldn't do it. That is to take revenge on the benefactors of the ancestors. It is true that they are not good people, but they are forced to do so in order to make the dwarves under their protection better off, to have a foothold in a wicked place like Port Carlin.
But if they really take revenge on the benefactor of their ancestors, it is the greatest blasphemy against their ancestors, then they are denying themselves, denying their only remaining pride, and even denying their last reliance as dwarves! No dwarf would think that a dwarf who desecrated his ancestors was still of his kind.
This is the final bottom line of all the Dwarves of the Iron Hammer Guild, once this bottom line is broken, all the Dwarf Elders don't know what will become of their people, maybe they will become as disgusted as the gray dwarves, and in the end they won't even be able to enter the Moradin Kingdom.
"Yes, we won't do that, we're always dwarves, dwarves of the Copperbeard Clan! We can't desecrate the honor of the Copperbeard Clan! "Great Elder Albert is also very frustrated, he is the Great Elder, he thinks more, he has to think about the whole race.
Why do they want Greg to become a master so much, on the one hand, they really hope to increase the strength of the Hammer Guild through Greg becoming a master, but on the other hand, he hopes to gather people's hearts through Greg, so that all the copperbeard dwarves will really forget their past.
They are still members of the proud Copperbeard Clan! Is there anything more powerful than a dwarven master? Not dwarves, one can never understand their love for forging, that is the love engraved in the blood, engraved in the soul, no matter who it is, it cannot be changed.
Now there is a better choice, as long as he gets back the hammer of Thor, then Greg can become a master as soon as possible, and at the same time, the hammer of Thor, a legendary war hammer of great significance to the Copperbeard Clan, also has an incomparable appeal to the descendants of all the Copperbeard Clan.
The Great Elder had no intention of reviving the Copperbeard Clan, at least not yet, but he didn't want to see the Copperbeard Clan completely wiped out at the hands of their generation, so he had to unite people's hearts and let the Copperbeard Clan's name continue to pass on.
But now it seems that this goal is no play, in order to ensure that the glory of the Copperbeard Clan is not completely annihilated, he must watch the glory of the Copperbeard Clan slowly extinguish, I have to say, this result is too ironic, no matter what, it is death.
But Abek still chose not to break through the bottom line without hesitation, otherwise that would really make the glory of the Copperbeard Clan dust.
After hearing Abek's categorical words, Solam finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that these dwarves still have a bit of a bottom line, no wonder others say that dwarves are stubborn, it is rare to be able to maintain the last bit of pride in a big dye vat like Port Carlin, so the next thing is easy to talk about.
Seeing that this group of dwarves were all like dead fathers, Solam smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, although I can't give you Thor's hammer, it's still okay for you to take a look, anyway, Elder Greg just wants to figure it out, doesn't he?" ”
Then one by one the dwarves came to life again, and looked at Soram with bright eyes.
