Of all the races, the relationship between dwarves and elves has been the subject of enthusiastic research by scholars across the continent. These two races look down on each other very much, because of the difference in concepts, the elves think that the dwarves are dirty cave wine iron worms, and the dwarves feel that the elves are blown down by the wind everywhere, so when the two races are in one place, it is easy to become a public PK situation. But such trade and alliances between the two races are often the strongest, and in the tens of thousands of years of history since the mythical species ceded the protagonist role, dwarves and elves have never fought each other, and except for a few periods, the trade and alliance between the two races has never been broken. This situation has puzzled many scholars, including elves and dwarves. It has also become the top of the list of racial relations topics in the entire Ella continent.

Drew knew that there would often be caravans passing through elven villages before winter, and that dwarven and human caravans would make a good deal with the villagers in the village square. In fact, the goblins have the most complete items, but everyone knows that the greed of the goblin race has alarmed the sleeping great father Fett. Therefore, the dwarven caravan and the human caravan, which have a large number of items needed by the elves, have become the first choice of the elves. This year, Drew's goal is to trade some gems and metals from the dwarven caravan to practice enchanting and jewelry processing.

Elves claim to be children of nature, and their protection of the natural environment has become almost a sick habit, and it is the kind that is deeply rooted in the blood. Although the elves who love beautiful things have a soft spot for all kinds of gemstones, they are really secretive about the profession of miners. Moreover, it is indeed a big problem to find and develop satisfactory ores in a forest without destroying the forest, so most of the metals and gems of the elves generally come from trade with foreign races.

Sweating profusely, Drew moved the four barrels of beer hidden in the cave to the vicinity of his home and buried them, after all, the 30-kilogram barrel was still too big for a child. Drew remembers that his father had said that the dwarves were not very fond of fruit wine, and that if it weren't for the fact that there were so few other types of wine compared to elven wine, the dwarves would not buy elven fruit wine as a substitute. After hiding the beer, Drew began to wait for the arrival of the dwarven caravan.

The arrival of the dwarven caravan was about half a month later, after the goblin caravan. This dwarven caravan is led by an old acquaintance from the Elven Village, Hank Ironblock. When he was young, Hank once traveled north and south of the continent with a human-dominated adventure group, and learned a lot from his human companions in the wind and rain. Among the swaggering dwarven race, Hank is also one of the few shrewd merchants who will not be drained by goblins.

"Hey, I hope these boys will grow up quickly, so that I will feel much better. How many times have I said that whether it is for the development of the dwarves as a whole or for the good of the dwarven kingdom as a whole, we must learn cunning and greed from humans and goblins. Young people should be allowed to go out and suffer a little more, and a bunch of old people with rusty brains just don't listen. ”

Hank muttered, looking at the boys from the few tribes that had followed him. By the time he reached middle age, few of his brothers and sisters who had been adventuring together were still alive, and the loss of his old friends who had been high above him made the process of caravan trade more and more difficult. Moreover, dwarves are naturally very arrogant and easy to be sold and help count the money, so Hank took the risk of turning against the elders for the future of the dwarven kingdom and brought a few outstanding young people from the kingdom, hoping that they could at least learn some means of self-preservation in the process of trade.

"The food and fruits exchanged this time should be about the same, and there are many elf villages going forward, so you should be able to exchange for enough food, but you can't trade with humans before returning home, but I don't know if there is enough wine. Forget it, don't think about it, when will the wine be enough? El the Lord of the Earth and Hel Hughton, the God of Forging, are above, and wine is the loveliest thing the gods have given us. ”

The Dwarves, Demons, and Dragons are the most well-known alcoholic races in the entire Fit. Dwarves are often tempted by wine to work in human cities; The Demon Clan once slaughtered a human country just because of not enough wine, and also gave up the plan to attack a secondary plane because of wine; In addition to the greedy and amorous personality of the dragon family, the most famous is also the personality of alcohol. Wine is the most delicious drink for all three races.

Hank is deeply aware of his race's ability to consume alcohol. Even now, it is clear that all the members of the caravan, including Hank, have a wine bag instead of a water bag hanging from their waists! If striking iron is the first instinct in the blood of the dwarves, drinking has become the first hobby of the dwarves, regardless of men, women and children.

"The fruit wine of the elves is too light, and the fruity taste is really worthy of being made from this group of vases. It's still the barbarians' glacial spirits and the orcs' blood-drinking milk wine, and the human side's several palace wines are also good. It's a pity that those friends are all dead, and I haven't drunk these good wines for a long time. ”

Silently mourning the next few lost friends, Hank feels that sometimes life is too long and quite lonely.

"Daddy Hank, it's time to Maple Village. Do you have a break today or do some trading with those pointy ears first? ”

The young man, Cook Black Iron, interrupted Hank's memories and looked at the energetic young men, who shook his head and rewarded the young man with a chestnut.

"How many times? Don't call them pointy ears here. This is the most basic courtesy as a businessman, although I am also very disgusted with these soft guys. ”

"Trade first, and try to buy all the food, fruits, and wine in the elven kingdom before entering the human country. After all, this group of elves is much more simple than humans. Pull all the trucks outside the village first, fence them off, and set up camp. Free up a wagon, decorate gems, farm tools, arrowheads, etc., and go to the village square. I'll go talk to the village chief first. And also! Don't get me in trouble! Hairy boys! Do you understand?! ”

After kicking a few slow little guys to make their movements quicker, Hank ran to greet the chief of Maple Village. After a few years of business, it is natural to recognize some people, and the elves also welcome the arrival of the caravan. But the kind of impossibility that makes two races and harmonious is impossible Hank didn't think about it at all, as long as nothing happened, thank God.

In the trade between elves and dwarves, the dwarves and elves generally buy and sell goods at a clear price in order to avoid conflicts. For example, a standard unit of elemental ruby is priced at 1,000 kilograms of rice or 1 gold coin. (The currency of the entire world of Fit is universal, including all trade in the continent of Ella, the Divine Realm, the Elemental Realm, the Underworld, the Abyss, and other subordinate planes is under the jurisdiction of Mani, the god of commerce.) 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, so there are copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, platinum coins, and amethyst coins. An ordinary family is good at the end of a month, and it is good to use 10 silver coins. ）

As children of nature, the elves have never been short of food. On the entire continent, except for a few human empires, the elves are one of the few races that can be traded for grain. Grain, fruits, and perennial hunting furs and magic crystals are all capital that the elves can trade with foreign races. Moreover, the artworks of the elves with extraordinary artistic cells are often the most high-end luxury goods in the entire world.

But the artwork that the elves are proud of will not work in front of the dwarves. In addition to the difference in aesthetic concepts, the difference in beliefs and living habits has created a situation where dwarves basically do not buy elven art. Therefore, the trading capital of the elves and the dwarven caravans is grain, fruits, furs, magic crystals, and wine. The metal, arrowheads, gems, farming tools, and craft tools in the hands of the dwarves are all very popular commodities among the elves.
