Chapter 167: A Strong Foundation II

Ten days later, a large group of dwarves rode their goat's mounts into the basin of Lorraine.

"The qiē here looks really cold, a large area of wooden houses, a large area of wasteland. How could this group of hillbillies be so lucky to find Treynilla? One of the dwarves sighed.

He was none other than Elomo, the master smith of Vendôme, and he was followed by more than thirty dwarves, each wearing heavy black armor, the hill guards who had just arrived from the steel fortress in the northern Hengduan hills.

In addition to Elomo, there was a special dwarf, dressed in a delicate black cloth robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his hair and beard neatly tied, and he was a beautiful man by dwarven standards.

He smiled when he heard Elomo's words: "Master, don't talk like that when you see those humans, we're here to do business." ”

"Of course, I'll take notice, Your Highness." Elomo's demeanor was respectful, and he was facing Mosius, the second son of the dwarven king of Steelcastle, and his status was noble, which also showed that the king took the affairs of Terenyra very seriously.

This group of dwarves was very eye-catching, and as soon as they appeared, they were spotted by the soldiers guarding the mouth of the basin: "Stop, report your intentions!" ”

At this time, the sentry was different from the original, in addition to a large number of wooden structures, the key parts of it had been replaced with stones, and the scale was also larger, five meters thick and seven meters high, which was no longer easy to break.

Elomo stepped forward and said, "We're here for Trenilla, yes, the lovely, white, fat guy you caught. ”

About this. Rollin had already commanded, so the sentry quickly opened the door. One of the guards galloped into town to report the situation.

"Please keep along the road, you will be greeted soon." A young man who looked like he was supposed to be the head of the sentry stepped forward. Shows the way for the dwarves.

In fact, there is only one road here, and you can't get lost, so the dwarves follow the road.

Halfway through, the dwarves heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately after, a group of horsemen galloped out of the town. At the head was Rollin.

Looking at the rapidly approaching cavalry, Emoro smiled again: "A soldier is a good soldier. Horses are also good horses, they all look strong, it's a pity that they don't have good equipment, it's a pity. ”

These cavalrymen were dressed in leather armor. Coupled with some iron pieces of breast protection, when you look at the rough craftsmanship, you know that it is something made by those third-rate craftsmen of human beings.

The dwarven prince Mosius also squinted at the visitor, and he saw more, especially on the human warrior at the front.

In his eyes, this warrior didn't look particularly strong, at least not as strong as the human Hercules he had seen before, and even more so with the mountain giants that often appeared in the hills, but he could feel it. In this body, there is a terrifying power.

"Your Highness, be careful. This human being is very dangerous. The captain of his escort confirmed his opinion.

"I saw his sword, it was the opening sword. He is supposed to be the rumored Lord Rollin, who is said to be a disciple of Knight Ben. In your opinion, what kind of course has his power reached? Mosius asked softly.

"Your Highness, if there is a conflict, I am afraid I will not be able to protect your safety." The captain of the guard said softly.

"Hmm~ so strong. I understand. Mosius was a little surprised.

Each of his hill guards is an elite, and the captain of the guard is a master of the Iron Castle. Even if he said so, it seemed true that this Lord of Rollin was the first of the younger generation of Vendôme.

In this way, this young man may become one of Vendôme's leading figures in the future, and he must take it seriously.

After thinking about it, the cavalry team had already rushed to the front, and Rollin stepped forward and smiled heartily: "I am Lord Rollin." Welcome, guests from afar, come, we have prepared a delicious meal and wine for you. ”

"Haha, fine wine? What wine? Is it Vendôme's Ice Leaf Grass? As soon as he heard the wine, Emero's eyes lit up. In fact, he likes to stay in Vendôme because he can drink fine wines from all over the world, especially ice leaf grass, which is his favorite.

"No, it's not. It's one of our specialty, and I promise you'll love it. "This wine is made according to the method instructed by the elf Lufey, and it has just been brewed recently, and the taste is very unique and mellow, and Rollin himself likes it very much.

"Oh, it's still new, then I should try it." Emolo was even happier in his heart.

"You'll be satisfied." Rollin smiled, and then said to Prince Mosius, "So, what shall I call you, guest?" ”

He could tell at a glance that this was the leader of the dwarves.

"My name is Mosseus. Just call me by name. Mosius smiled slightly.

"Yes, please." Rollin knew that the dwarf's identity was not simple, but he didn't ask much.

A group of dwarves followed Luo Lin to the lord's mansion, and the long table in the hall of the mansion was indeed full of wine and meat, and there were many attendants on the side to prepare.

"Enjoy."

"I'd like to see Terenyra first." Emolo could already smell the unique aroma, but he hadn't forgotten what he was doing. The same goes for Mosius.

"Oh, of course." Luo Lin smiled, just in case, the mine worm was placed near the lord's mansion.

He led the way, and soon reached the backyard of the lord's mansion, where there was a cage made of giant wood, and in the cage lay a giant bear-sized bug.

At this time, the insect did not want to escape, it lay lazily next to a pile of iron tools in the cage, swallowing a few mouthfuls from time to time, looking very comfortable.

The moment they saw the bug, the dwarves froze, whether it was Elomo, or Prince Mosius, or the hill guard, their eyes widened wide, and their faces were surprised, and after surprise, they were intoxicated.

"Oh~~~ Such a huge Trenilla, so beautiful, it's a treasure from the gods!" Emoro stepped forward and stared closely at the worm in the cage, and after looking at it for a while, he became angry again: "Oh my God. It's cruelty for you to feed it on this crude iron tool, and it should lie in a pile of Adamantite and Mithril ore. Oh my gosh, baby. ”

Mosius was the first to come to his senses, he looked at the reaction of his clansmen, and smiled bitterly in his heart, in this way, this business could not be discussed. This human is definitely going to open his mouth.

He said to Rollin, "This Trenilla is a rarity. Human, what price are you going to sell? ”

About that. Luo Lin had already thought about it, he squinted and smiled: "I don't need much, just two points." ”

"Tell me about it." Mosius only wanted this human to have a smaller appetite.

"First, I want the dwarves to open a blacksmith shop with me. Teach a group of apprentices. Second, I want to open some independent trade between us, and I want to buy a batch of good quality armor. ”

Mosius was taken aback, a little surprised, in fact, the price was not big at all, and the dwarves could take it out lightly, but the problem was that the content of this request was really a bit sensitive.

There was silence for a long time before the dwarven prince hesitated to speak, "Lord Rollin." As you may not know, we have an agreement with the lord of Vendôme to be in this area. I can only work with him......"

Independent trade, I really don't know what this human lord wants to do?

Rollin seemed to guess his thoughts, and smiled lightly: "Mosius, you think too much." Vendôme is so prosperous, and so powerful, and I have only such a small barren territory. But hundreds of soldiers, even if they are well armed. What can you do if you are strong in force? I'm just trying to get a foothold and self-preservation. ”

This makes sense, Mosius looked all the way, and the scene he saw was indeed as Rollin said, this territory was too small, and no matter how much he tossed, he couldn't make big waves.

Thinking of this, his heart was relieved, and he looked at Terenira in the cage again, this insect is precious because it can easily digest many rare ores that are difficult to melt, and it is very important for dwarves to refine those world-famous divine weapons.

It can be said that most of the dwarves' reputation for forging is due to this bug, and being able to get this bug is also a great achievement for Mosius personally, and it is an important political qualification. So, the moment he saw this huge mineral worm, he was bound to win.

After carefully considering the gains and losses, Mosius finally came up with a compromise plan: "Because of the agreement with the Lord of Vendôme, the dwarves cannot fully meet your conditions, but it is not impossible. ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Rollin was interested, he didn't care about the names, he cared about the actual benefits.

"It has been of great help to us that you have given us this minerworm, and as a thank you for your selfless help, we will present you with a thousand sets of custom-made fine armor. But we cannot agree to independent trading rights. ”

One thousand sets of armor is enough to meet the requirements, very good, as for the right to trade, when the orcs invade, the order will collapse, and it will not be too late to fight for it, so Luo Lin is not entangled, and nodded in response: "Yes, but the quality of the battle armor must be strictly guaranteed, and it must also include the armor of the war horse." ”

"You can rest assured of quality, this is the capital of my dwarf clan. War Horse Armor...... You can also. Mosius nodded, it seems that this lord wants to build cavalry, but a few hundred cavalry, it will not be a big deal.

"And what about the blacksmith's shop?" Rollin Road.

"I will send a master blacksmith to help in my personal name, but remember, he is only helping, he is not representing a dwarf, he can only come because of our personal friendship. This blacksmith has nothing to do with us dwarves. "Mosius is stern sù authentic.

Rollin laughed: "No problem. Then when you send the armor and the Master Blacksmith, this Terenyra will be yours. ”

"Yes." Mosius nodded.

"Then for the sake of our friendship, we should celebrate, please." Rollin laughed.

So the dwarves returned to the lord's hall and began to enjoy the good food and wine. During the banquet, the master smith Elomo was full of praise for the wine brewed by the elven secret method, and he kept drinking non-stop, but fortunately he still had a temperance, and the amount of alcohol was good, although he was a little drunk, but his mind was still quite clear.

The other dwarves were also a little drunk, and even Mosius drank a few more glasses, and he praised, "This wine is very good." ”

"It's rare that you like it, I'll get you ten barrels later. Haha, don't be too little, I don't have much in stock, these ten barrels are already half of all stocks. ”

With that, the dwarves were satisfied. For a time, the guests and hosts were happy.

When the table was over, Emero suddenly spoke, "Lord, I heard that you found Trenilla in a mine, can you take us to see which one?" (To be continued)
