Chapter 105: Meeting the King
…… Malone smelled the smell of food as soon as he got up.
The dwarves' food is mostly grilled, and the aroma is fragrant, which makes him think of barbecue.
You can try ...... in the territory in the future.
After the meal, Goldbeard took Malone to the river, where there was a communal bathhouse where he could clean up his personal hygiene.
Along the way, few people greeted Goldbeard, but many people expressed curiosity about Ma Long.
After taking a shower, Ma Long took out clean clothes from his backpack and changed them, and the whole person suddenly felt refreshed, as if he had been reborn!
It also looks a lot brighter, and then hanging the Yitian Sword on his waist, a heroic young man with a resolute face appeared in front of everyone!
Coupled with the life of the superior in the past few years, there is an inexplicable temperament that can make people feel broken and trusted......
Led by Goldbeard, Marlon came to the so-called royal palace and met the current king of the dwarves: Mussahn!
At the same time, he is also a powerful dwarven warrior, and the dwarven warrior is called a human knight.
Sometimes it represents strength, sometimes it indicates personal identity, sometimes it describes the ...... of bravery, all words with many meanings!
"Hello, King Musahn, the human Blackstone Lord-Paladin-Marlon salutes you!"
Marlon was the first to salute the king and pay respect, no matter how downtrodden the dwarves are now, the other party is always the lord of a country, and he is here to ask for help!
"Hello, human warrior, I have heard Goldbeard speak of your bravery, welcome to the Dwarves." Moussane smiled, looked at Malone, and greeted him warmly.
"You may be seated!"
After a moment of politeness, Malone sat down in a chair that was obviously newly made.
The conversation is officially on topic!
"Please explain the purpose of the visit," Moussane said, in fact, how could he not know the purpose of Marlon's arrival.
Now if you ask it, it's just a formality, and you have a certain initiative!
Ma Long nodded, and slowly expressed the idea of cooperation and alliance between the two sides.
The two of them discuss the alliance between the Blackstone Leader and the Dwarves!
The two sides have established a cooperative relationship, and the Blackstone Collar can provide various supplies to the dwarves......
If the dwarves are willing to migrate, Blackstone Collar can also provide land......
The two sides cooperate against the barbarians, and the dwarves provide metal forging equipment...... And so on, are some preliminary cooperation intentions.
Both parties were interested in working together, and knowing that the situation was urgent and there was nothing to talk about, some charters were quickly settled.
In this age of no democracy, the two forces formed an alliance with the consent of the chiefs.
However, the multi-faceted details are extremely cumbersome and need to be handled by their respective subordinates.
Ma Long came alone, so naturally he couldn't sign a formal agreement, and only reached a verbal agreement with Moussane!
Whether it's the Blackstone Collar or the Dwarves, the top priority now is to deal with the Barbarian Crisis!
Marlon originally planned to place the dwarves in the territory like recovering the goblins, but unfortunately the disappearance of the curse made him lose an important bargaining chip!
If the barbarians entered the Black Stone Territory through the Grand Canyon, it would definitely be a disaster for the tens of thousands of people in Marlon's territory!
The dwarves are even more unbearable, they are being pressed by the barbarians step by step, they are almost unable to support it, and the materials are extremely poor!
Originally, they planned to use the power of wizards to migrate out of the northern frontier.
But now that the wizard has been destroyed, Marlon is willing to provide supplies, but he needs to pass through the Grand Canyon!
The mountain road that Ma Long and the others came over can also allow the team to pass, and the bulk of materials will definitely not be able to be transported......
At the end of the discussion, Moussane opened his mouth and invited Ma Long: "In order to welcome your arrival, and to celebrate our agreement, there will be a party in a while, please be sure to attend!" ”
Marlon knew that the dwarves' evenings would only be invited if they were treated as friends.
And it is also their custom to invite real friends to their own evenings.
He did not refuse, and gladly responded: "It is my honor to be invited by the king...... ”
At night, a bonfire burns brightly at the top of the mountain, lighting up the night sky, and several newly hunted yellow sheep are roasting.
The two shirtless dwarves were wrestling with each other, and in the light of the fire, they could be seen gritting their teeth and flushing faces, apparently using all their strength.
It's a pity that no one can help anyone, and the cheers and coaxes of the onlookers from time to time make the whole party very lively!
In the best position in the crowd, Marlon and several high-ranking members of the dwarf clan sat together.
The dwarven general bronzeled a leg of mutton, and while looking at the two people wrestling in the field, he turned his head to Marlon and said, "What do you think of the dwarven warriors?" ”
Ma Long was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the expectant look on his copper beard face, he said in his heart: You are obviously complimenting me, can I say it is not good?
Then he boasted: "Very good, the strength is good!" ”
"Haha," Copperbeard seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile, "Then which of them do you think will win?" ”
"Huh?" Ma Long looked at the field, there was not much difference in the strength of the two, and the situation in the field was changing rapidly, so it was really impossible to see the winner or loser.
Then he shook his head and said: "I haven't studied wrestling, I can't tell who won, but I should be able to tell the winner immediately!" ”
As soon as Ma Long's words fell, "...... touch", one person in the field was thrown to the ground, and the surrounding crowd let out a burst of cheers and laughter in due time!
The noise was too loud for a while, and the copper beard stopped talking, but gave Ma Long a thumbs up.
Looking at the gesture of the copper beard, Ma Long raised his eyebrows, how can a dwarf also have this hand, did he learn from the golden beard?
Waiting for the crowd to pause, Copperbeard said to Ma Long again: "Listen to Goldbeard, you are also a warrior among humans, how about it, do you want to go up and try it?" ”
Ma Long shook his head and shirked: "Forget it, I really haven't learned wrestling, and it's a shame to go up." ”
At this time, Mu Sahn next to him interjected: "If you don't wrestle, just follow your human methods, just right, Copper Whiskers can be your opponent!" ”
Without waiting for Ma Long to object, he said to Copper Whiskers: "Don't go and get your weapon yet!" ”
As soon as he stretched his hands back, he took out a pair of hammers weighing dozens of pounds.
Malone was surprised, he didn't realize that there was such a pair of hammers there.
Looking at the brass beard, and then at King Musarn, Malone knew in his heart that this was to test the strength of his new ally.
The result will not change the agreement of the alliance, but it will also change the weight in the hearts of the allies!
It just so happens that I also want to see how strong these dwarves are, and if I don't do it myself, it's always difficult to estimate and be accurate!
Look at the other party's well-prepared appearance, and don't allow yourself to shirk!
Then he got up and said, "Then come!" ”
Ma Long straightened his clothes, adjusted the angle of the sword leaning on his waist, and came to the field with the copper beard.
It just so happened that the last group of talents had just come down, and no one came up for a while, and now it was empty.
The crowd saw a tall and a short two people playing with hammers and swords, and they were all surprised in their hearts, but they reacted in a blink of an eye!
They all shouted: "It's the general......"
"And that human guest ......"
"They're going to use weapons......"
