Chapter 90: The Dwarves
Marlon looked at the dwarf in front of him, listened to him scolding, and had some guesses in his heart.
"Paladin-sama!"
William, who led the group, saluted Marlon and made the dwarf stop for a while.
Marlon nodded and asked, "What's going on?" ”
William replied: "When we found them spying on the camp while we were patrolling, we wanted to catch and interrogate them, and I thought they would surrender directly!" ”
"Hmmm"! Malone continued to ask: "Didn't you say that there was a small team?" How can there be only one, and the others? ”
William explained: "The rest is in the back, guarded by the other knights, this one seems to be the leader, who has been clamoring to see you, so I brought him back first!" ”
Marlon turned his gaze back on the dwarf and asked, "Mr. Dwarf, I don't know why you want to see me?" ”
"Hum ......"! The dwarf tilted his head and said angrily, "You humans don't talk about trust, and you promise a good time......
"Mr. Dwarf......", Malone interrupted him: "I believe you can also see that we are not the same group of people as you said, and it is inappropriate to continue to say that we are not trustworthy, how about we talk frankly?" ”
Then he commanded the two knights: "Let our guests go, and trust the warriors of the dwarven race who will not abandon their companions!" ”
"Humph......"
The two knights let go as they were told, and the dwarf snorted softly to express his displeasure, and moved his somewhat stiff hands.
The two knights were afraid that he would run away or fight back on the road, and the strength of their hands was not light!
After the dwarf moved his hands and feet, he put his right fist on his left chest, bowed slightly, and saluted: "Dwarf warrior, Goldbeard salutes you!" ”
Ma Long returned a knightly salute and said, "Human nobles, Ma Long welcomes the dwarf warriors to come as guests!" ”
The two sides saluted, and Ma Long beckoned to Goldbeard: "Let's go, see how you have traveled a lot, go to the camp to rest first." ”
As he spoke, the knight who was walking behind also appeared in Ma Long's field of vision with a squad of dwarves.
Immediately, he understood why these dwarves, who claimed to be brave, surrendered so easily.
Except for Goldbeard, who has the strength level of a human knight, the others feel similar to ordinary soldiers, and against these knights under Ma Long, the duel will be crushed in an instant......
Marlon invited the dwarves into the camp and prepared food such as roast meat for them.
It can be seen that they don't seem to be doing well lately, and they are devouring it......
When they had eaten and burped, the soldiers removed their food and brought in drinks.
Smelling the aroma of wine, Goldbeard picked up the cup and poured it into it as if he was thirsty for water!
The other dwarves did the same!
Marlon smiled and said, "This is the self-brewed liquor in my territory, and you can't drink it anywhere else!" ”
"Huh", exhaled the smell ......of wine, and the golden beard praised loudly: "Good wine...... It's so strong...... That's a lot of energy......"
Ma Long squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Can you tell me about your intentions?" ”
Goldbeard put away the intoxicated expression on his face and waved his hand, and the other dwarves stopped their movements and looked serious.
He said to Ma Long: "Before getting down to business, can you ask where the people who used to live here have gone?" ”
"Dead!" Marlon told the truth directly.
The dwarves suddenly moved! Get upset!
Goldbeard nodded, got up and saluted: "So disturbed", as if to leave!
"Why don't you talk about your deals, those wizards are gone, maybe we can work together!" It was Illya who spoke, and Marlon used concentricity to notify her to come over and cooperate with herself!
Goldbeard turned his head and looked at Ma Long, although he had not been in contact for a long time, he also knew that this was the one in charge.
Malone said that he could talk, and Goldbeard sat down......
"We have a pact with those wizards, they provide the dwarves with habitable land, enough food and drink, and we build weapons and equipment for them......"
Ma Long was overjoyed, although there were still many doubts, but he knew in his heart that the opportunity had come, could this be the gift that Angola said......
These conditions can be fully agreed to, and if there are more dwarves in the territory, who like to deal with metal, not only will the development speed be much faster, but the height that can be reached will be completely different!
Picking up a glass and drinking, in fact, to hide his excitement, Malone spoke: "As far as I know, wizards are being hunted down by the entire human society, and they don't seem to have land. ”
"Really?" Goldbeard was unconvinced.
"Really!" Ma Long nodded and said: "I don't believe you can go to the human society to have a look, just ask someone to know, I can't lie to you about such a thing!" ”
The dwarf nodded in approval, he picked up the cup, and said again: "I don't know the specific situation, and this time I came also arranged by my king!" ”
"By the way, the iron ore in the Grand Canyon was dug by you, it is said that your strength should not be weak, how can you ......?"
The golden-bearded man was surprised: "You actually know that we dug the mine there?" ”
Ma Long complimented: "Except for dwarves, who in the mainland has this ability!" ”
The golden beard stroked his dazzling beard with some smugness and said, "It was indeed we who dug it, and we ...... it."
A dwarf tugged at his arm to stop him from talking!
Goldbeard waved his hand and drove the dwarf away from him, "What can't be said, everything has happened, why are you still hugging it!" ”
Hearing him say this, the dwarves were all silent, and there was an inexplicable sadness, and they all drank heavily to relieve their mood!
Goldbeard took a sip of the cup again, and said drunkly: "We have dug up the iron ore of the Grand Canyon and built the most majestic castle ...... on the mainland, an all-metal castle!" ”
He was so proud that no other race could build a full-metal castle except the dwarves!
"But a bunch of madmen ruined it all...... and they kept digging down the ...... and digging down ......," he said, with tears in his voice!
"The magma gushed out, drowning everything, losing the Black Iron Castle, and we were chased by the barbarians......"
Marlon and Yili glanced at each other, and they both felt ridiculous, this is really not a death if you don't die, and you will die a big death as soon as you do it......
The two of them left the tent, and the dwarves were already drunk!
"What do you think"!
"Because it's true!"
"This is our chance!"
"I think so, do you think this can be done?"
"Eight or nine are inseparable from ten......"
"Let's go, find someone else to have a meeting with", Malone walked to an empty tent first, "Put the ruins first, and don't run, let's solve this matter first......"
……
The dwarves are drunk for most of the day, and this is a high degree of wine brewed under the advice of Marlon.
It's the dwarves who are drinking alcohol, and when they wake up, it's late in the evening, and it's time to eat.
Needless to say, after another big meal and drink, he got drunk again, and Malone took the opportunity to learn about the situation of a large number of dwarves!
