Dante and Ash got their hands on the machine and the jug of water, re-applied their invisibility magic, and took advantage of the chaos to run out of Balmodan Fortress. Their timing was just right, and Bane's tribal army turned the entire interior of the fortress upside down. The dwarves were all killed without mercy.

Running out of the fortress, Dante and Ash hurried back to the De Rohn Tavern in Thorntooth City on the Black Wind. Grandet couldn't wait there.

When I got back to the tavern, it was still cloudy. DeRoon was dozing off on the boss's counter, sleepy-eyed when he saw Dante walking in with Ash in a hurry, as if he understood what was going on with them, and didn't ask too much, but went back to sleep.

Dante dragged Ash straight to Grande's room, knocking on the door, pushing it open and entering. Grandet was overjoyed to see the two of them come back unharmed, rubbed his palms together and asked, "How is it?" Got the stuff, right? ”

"Hmm!" Dante nodded, and pulled the machine out of the extradimensional cage. He didn't understand the complexities, so he had to watch Grandet excitedly fiddle with the machine. Ash sat on the sidelines and watched the two of them figure it out.

"Excellent! Very good! Grandet examined it very skillfully, his eyes only shining, as if he could not hide his excitement, and whispered to Dante with a smile, "Dude, you have done me a great favor this time!" That's great! ”

Dante sat back in his chair and asked, "What?" Is this really that good? I don't understand the machine, I don't know what it's worth. ”

Grandet took out a cigar cigarette, lit it and took a puff, spit out a string of eye circles, his expression seemed to relax, and he said: "This machine is the core engine of the excavator newly developed by the dwarf." It's smaller and more powerful, while also saving a little bit of energy. It can be said that it is the excavator engine with the strongest price ratio. ”

"Oh? Motor? Dante looked at the iron lump in front of him, and it looked like it was about the size of a coat suitcase. He didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he said to Grande, "When are you going to bring this thing back?" You don't have such a valuable thing with you, don't hang around outside for too long, it's not safe. ”

Grande nodded and said, "Xiaoli will bring someone to pick me up today." Don't worry. ”

Dante thought for a moment and said, "Grande, don't you have your own company's bank branch in Jingzhi City?" If you have your own staff in Jingya City, why is it so complicated? ”

Grandet smiled, pointed a cigar at Dante, and said, "Dante, you're not old enough." Even though I have a group of employees working here, their positions and responsibilities are not in these areas. What I do with you is an absolute trade secret, and the fewer people who know, the better. ”

"Hmm." Dante nodded in understanding.

Grandet seemed to be completely relaxed, and he moved a chair and sat down, and said while smoking: "Xiaoli should come by boat later, and now I am finally saved." With this prototype, I was able to improve the excavation equipment in the Fairy Vein in no time. Hehe......"

He then asked Dante and Ash, "You two, do you have your own business?" By the way, I finally have the seeds you need for the crops. ”

Dante was a little surprised when he heard Grandet's words, and asked, "Have you found the seed at last?" ”

Grandet nodded and said, "Not much, just some potato seeds." Previously, the griffon kingdom had bought the agricultural inputs too thoroughly, and these seeds were all new. Do you want to? ”

Dante thought to himself, of course, that there would never be too many of these seeds, and said, "I believe you won't give these seeds for nothing, right?" ”

Grandet smiled and said, "You know me well. Go back, I'll talk to Gad directly. How is it? ”

Dante said, "Good. Gad will take care of everything. Thank you too much. ”

"Well said!" Grandet took a puff on his cigar, closed his eyes, and said, "My business has been going well since I worked with you. In the future, I'll have to rely on you to hug my thighs. ”

Then, he thought of something again, and hurriedly said, "There is good news." In the fairy vein, there is not only iron ore, but also in the deep below, there should be Mithril ore! We can make a fortune! ”

When Dante heard the word "Mithril", he felt that it was a good thing, and it sounded so good, that it was certainly better than iron ore, and he said, "All right." On the other side of the vein, you can concentrate on your work. He remembered the check, took it out, handed it to Grandet, and said, "Now sign it." ”

Grandet took it, signed his name boldly, returned it to Dante, and said, "You can go to my company's bank now to exchange gold coins." ”

Dante took the check, looked at it, confirmed that it was okay, put it away, and said, "How's the situation on Charlotte's side?" Will they actually dig the veins to our side? ”

Grande waved his hand and said disapprerovingly, "Don't be afraid." I'm staring at them. Something strange seems to have happened lately, though. ”

"Strange situation?" When Dante heard him, he asked with some curiosity, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Grande thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that the northern slope of the Fairy Mountains belongs to the Kingdom of Gilneis. There should be enough jǐng reserve troops to guard such a large-scale exploitation, but I sent someone to investigate, and found that the kingdom did not send any guards to defend there. It's weird. ”

"......" Dante heard his words, remembering that the Holy Light Kingdom had sent troops directly through Gear Town to the Kingdom of Gilneth before, and it seemed that there was something urgent. What's the urgency?

Unable to think of a reason now, Dante simply didn't bother to think about it, so he said, "Let's investigate this matter later." ”

……

At dawn, Xiaoli took a few bodyguards to Jingya City on a steamer. Grande happily returned to the Dongyang Continent with the machinery and equipment.

Next, Dante and Ash stay at the Delohn Hotel, hoping to wait for Chen to see if he will return. Chen Xiaoyao agreed with them that he would return to Jingya City within three days, but more than ten days had passed, and Chen Xiaoyao still did not show up. I don't know if he's really gone or if something happened.

Dante felt a little worried, but there was nothing he could do, so he decided to wait another day, and Chen Xiaoyao would not come back, so he and Ash would go home.

Boredom, Dante and Delorne talk about the panda people and their rice wine.

"Wait, you mean Panda Man's rice wine?" When De Ron heard Dante's description, he was surprised and said, "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"What? What's going on? Dante was so surprised to see the orc boss and asked curiously, "What's the special situation?" ”

"I've been in the tavern for so long, so I've certainly learned a little bit about alcohol," DeRohn said. The Panda Man is a master of winemaking. I'd love to see it. ”

Dante smiled helplessly and said, "But I don't know if my panda friend will come back." Really. I'm going to wait for him another day, and if he doesn't come back, I'll have to leave a message from you. ”

……

Hard work pays off. Wait another day, on the afternoon of April 6, Chen Xiaoyao actually came back. I saw the panda man walking quickly into the tavern, and at a glance I saw Dante and Ash sitting in front of the counter of DeRoan.

"Huh? You're still waiting for me? Chen Xiaoyao saw the two of them and said happily, "I thought you had gone back." I'm so sorry. ”

"It's fine. We've got it done. Dante smiled and said, "Well, I was going to sail back tomorrow." Looks like we're still a little bit of a fate. ”

"Hahaha!" Chen Xiaoyao laughed, sat down at the counter, and said to De Lorne, "Boss, bring me a beer, is there any ice?" ”

Dron brought him a cold beer and asked, "Mr. Pandaman, I have heard from Mr. Dante." Do you want to make rice wine? ”

Chen Xiaoyao nodded and said to Dante, "Brother, I have not only visited the hermit in the past few days, but also collected some materials for brewing Musou rice wine. With the addition of the materials I had collected earlier, the Musou rice wine was ready to go in no time. There is only one material left and no material has been found. Why don't you just go shopping with me. ”
