The Frost and Snow Fang Mountains are a mountain range that towers into the sky. The entire mountain range stretches from the west to the east, and the south, and even across the entire continent, dividing the entire North Irene continent into three parts: east, west, and north.

To the north of the mountain range are vast expanses of snowy tundra, to the west a small piece of fertile soil that has become the core territory of Mona's kingdom, and to the east is rich elven forests, thriving Medit Inland Seas, and barren orc wilderness. The Frost and Snow Fang Mountain Range is like a knife, slicing the entire Hoklandul to pieces with its huge body.

The Frost Tooth Mountains are the longest mountain range in the world and the most extensive in the world. While dividing the various civilizations of the Northern Continent, the Frost Fang Mountains are also home to many civilizations - the dwarven kingdom of Retra, the many city-states and tribes of the frost giants, and even many dragons have made their home in the mountains.

In the southern part of the Frost and Snow Fang Mountains, near the corner of Elven Bay, there is a port that belongs to the Dwarven kingdom of Retra: Iron Snow City.

Iron Snow City is the most important foreign trade window of the Ritra Dwarven Kingdom, and merchants from the south come here every year with a large amount of wine and food to sell, and at the same time buy large quantities of dwarven weapons and equipment from here, and then ship them to the south for sale.

Dwarven weapons have always been in high demand in the southern countries. Especially with the rise of the tide of magic power, the number of monsters and monsters is increasing, adventurers are becoming more and more active, and the sales of dwarven weapons are also rising. However, before the dwarves could enjoy the benefits of several increases in trading volume, the war between the demons and the elves escalated, and the demons took the means of breaking the war against the elven navy and directly blocked the trade routes at sea.

In an instant, Iron Snow City felt a chill from iron and blood! Iron Snow City's trade quota plummeted instantly, and except for a few merchant ships from the Demon Clan, Iron Snow City lost almost all orders! Because except for the merchant ships of the demons, the merchant ships of other forces cannot pass through the Elven Bay.

As the largest foreign trade window of the Ritra Dwarven Kingdom, Iron Snow City needs to import a large amount of food and wine from the south every year, and the severance of maritime trade has not only caused a serious impact on Iron Snow City, but also has an extremely bad impact on the entire Retra Dwarven Kingdom!

For this reason, the Ritra Dwarven Kingdom submitted several protests to the Mona Kingdom.

After a long negotiation, the delegation of the Ritra Dwarven Kingdom finally reluctantly reached an agreement with the Mona Kingdom - the Demon Navy only blocked the sea near the Fairy Forest, and the fleet of Iron Snow City could take the route on the west coast, through the ports of the Mona Kingdom, to the southern countries.

With the signing of the military trade treaty, the maritime trade routes of Iron Snow City were finally restored again. Although the trade situation was still worse than before the war, at least the food shortage was solved, and the price of alcohol began to slowly return to normal.

While food and alcohol prices have started to return to normal, Gulles Barrel, the owner of the Barrel Tavern, has no intention of restoring the prices of his own drinks.

The Barrel Tavern is a long-established tavern in Iron Syracth, which the tavern owner Gouls Barrel inherited from his father and has been running since then.

Opening a tavern in Iron Snow City is a good deal, because the dwarves are very fond of drinking, and often drink barrel after barrel, so the tavern business has always been good, but the tavern is not very profitable. Some time ago, the sea trade routes were cut off, and while there was a backlog of weapons in the city, the price of alcohol in the city skyrocketed! In the way the dwarves drank, the alcohol in the city was out of stock within half a year, and then all the high-priced beer was transported by land.

The price of land transport is certainly much higher than that of sea transport, not to mention the rugged mountain roads and underground passages, so the price of alcohol will naturally rise. In desperation, the barrel could only increase the price of its own liquor, which had not changed for a hundred years.

But after the price of alcohol has risen, it is impossible to reduce the price of the barrel again!

It is impossible to reduce the price, it is impossible to reduce the price in this life! I'm going to keep this price for a hundred years from now!

The idea of a barrel was a great idea, but the guests clearly didn't buy it. As the price of alcohol in the city began to return to normal, the business of the barrel tavern plummeted, and the tavern, which used to be full every day, now has only two or three customers a day. This situation makes the barrel feel a little depressed. However, the barrel believes that those guests who have left "temporarily" will still come back sooner or later, because the barrel has already agreed with all the tavern owners in Iron Snow City, and all the taverns in Iron Snow City will maintain this price in the future!

The barrel sat behind the bar, looking at the deserted shop, but with a happy smile on his face. In this world, no one is going to have trouble with money. Although business in the tavern is very cold now, the barrel believes that it will not be long before it will be full again.

Just as the barrel was imagining the future, there was a crisp bell at the door of the tavern, and two cloaked guests walked in.

"Oh! Welcome to my tavern! Would you like something to drink? The barrel greeted warmly.

One of the guests removed the hood from his head, revealing the appearance of a human teenager.

The human boy who took off his head looked around, and a hint of suspicion appeared on his face: "This is the barrel tavern?" I've heard that the Barrel Tavern is the hottest tavern in Iron Syracth. ”

"Oh~ yes, you're right." The wine barrel nodded confidently, "I'm the most popular tavern in the all-iron Syracuse!" ”

The boy glanced at the tavern that didn't even have a single guest: "The most popular?" ”

"Oh~ a lot has happened lately. But this is only for a while, and it will soon be lively again. The barrel boasted confidently.

"Hmm...... All right. The human boy walked to the front of the bar and glanced at the menu on the wall behind the bar, "Get me a charcoal-grilled black fish, and then a McBar." ”

"Okay! ~" The barrel took a deep breath, pulled his voice, and yelled loudly into the kitchen behind him, "Old woman, have a charcoal-grilled black fish!" ”

"Got it!" A neutral voice came from the kitchen.

After giving orders to the kitchen, the barrel turned, picked up a wine glass, and poured a glass of ale, "Bang! ~" The ground was placed in front of the human boy.

"Your ale!"

"Thank you." The human boy took a sip of the ale on the table, frowning slightly.

"All the ale wine in our shop is the most mellow, and it is never mixed with water! If you go to other taverns, you will find that the profiteers often mix water with their wines, and the good ale wine tastes no taste at all. The barrel confidently boasted of its own ale.

"Hmm. The flavor is really strong. The human teenager licked the foam off his lips.

"Hey! Woman, are you going to have something? The barrel looked at the woman standing behind the boy. Although the woman was shrouded in a black robe, it was not difficult for the barrel to tell that it should be a woman hidden under the black robe.

"She doesn't need it." The human boy interjected, "By the way, boss, I'll ask you a question. ”

The barrel glanced deeply at the woman hidden under the black robe: "Just ask if you have anything." There's nothing I don't know about in this Iron Snow City. ”

Human Boy: "I want to go to the Throne of Fire, but I don't know the way, can you recommend a guide for me?" ”

"To the Flame Throne?" The wine barrel looked at the young man in front of him, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face, "What are you doing on the Flame Throne?" It's not a human-like place. ”

Human Boy: "I want to go to the Flame Throne and find the Dwarven King and ask him to help me craft a weapon." ”

Hearing the words of the human boy, the wine barrel was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter: "Hahahahaha! OMG! You're going to laugh at me! Do you think you're the Elf King? You want the Dwarven King to help you build weapons!? ”

"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?" The human boy smiled, "I'm still quite confident in my own strength, maybe I can get the dwarf king to agree." ”

"Hahahaha! Human, for the sake of making me happy today, this glass of wine is what I have invited you. ”

The human boy shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the barrel in laughter.

"Oh, my goddess." After laughing for a long time, the barrel finally put away his smile, "What's going on lately." Not long ago, a woman also said that she wanted to find the dwarf king to build a weapon. When did the weapons crafted by the Dwarven King become so worthless in the eyes of you humans? ”

"Oh? Anyone else besides me who wants to find the Dwarven King to craft a weapon? The human boy blinked, "May I ask, what kind of woman is that woman who wants to find the Dwarf King to make a weapon?" ”

"A woman with hair about as dark as yours." The dwarf compared his neck, "Her hair is about this long, skinny, and it feels like a gust of wind can blow her there." ”

Human Boy: "Where is that woman now?" ”

"Oh? Isn't it because you're looking for that woman that you're going to the Flame Throne? The barrel felt as if he knew something.

"Nope. I'm just curious. The human boy tilted his head and a smile appeared on his face, "The Dwarf King is not an ordinary person, and it is impossible to build weapons for ordinary people. A woman who would go to the Dwarven King to craft weapons...... I'm curious about who she really is. ”

"Oh? Are you saying that your identity is not ordinary? The barrel fox looked at the human boy in front of him suspiciously, "So this 'unusual' guest, I don't know what your identity is?" ”

"Me?" The human boy tilted his head and thought, "I am a brave man who has run away from home. The world is so big, I want to go out and see it! ”

"The brave? Ha! Well, Lord Brave, your charcoal-grilled black fish is here. He placed a large plate of grilled fish in front of the human boy.

"Has the woman who wanted to find the Dwarven King to craft a weapon already on her way to the Flame Throne?"

"Hey! ~Not really. The woman also lives in our tavern, and is probably out looking for a guide right now. By the end of the night, I'm sure you'll be able to see her. ”

"Oh? That's good news. Looks like I don't need to go looking for a guide. ”
