Chapter 444: The Legations

These days, the dwarves are not inadequately prepared.

The streets of Ironforge are decorated with many various decorations, such as flags on the rooms, streamers on the roadside, and the like. Large tables were also set up in the open spaces, apparently for banquets...... Obviously, it is unlikely that the members of the envoys will come here for a banquet, but this does not prevent the dwarves from entertaining themselves.

It's as if the dwarves don't have a banquet because they have something to celebrate, but because they want to have a banquet and find a reason. Once there is such a big thing, most dwarves will take the opportunity.

Dwarves love gold, but inside Ironforge, it may not be easy for you to get a gold coin from a dwarf, but if you want to feed a dwarf, it's too simple. Find a place where a banquet is being held in public, sit down and say a few words of celebration, then you can easily eat to your heart's content.

Not all dwarves are wealthy, but they will bring out all the ingredients they can take out at home, and everyone will be happy...... No one has too many accounts, even if they go back after the banquet and can only nibble on dry bread. For them, nothing can replace the joy of the banquet.

Regarding this character and habits of dwarves, Ji Ran and the others were naturally very puzzled. But that's a good thing after all, isn't it?

In these days, Ji Ran has participated in those banquets a lot...... Most of the time, he was forcibly pulled over by unknown dwarves. The other party didn't ask for anything else, just asked him to tell him something about human beings, and what happened to him, and then he could eat and drink casually...... Ji Ran couldn't laugh or cry at this kind of tough invitation. But as long as there is nothing particularly urgent. He'll sit down. Eat a meal or two, drink a glass of wine, and watch the dwarves singing and dancing - as if this kind of happiness is contagious to all around.

If you can protect yourself and the people you care about in the future, and you can not be affected by any outside world, can you come to Ironforge to live for a long time?

These dwarves are so cute. Although there are some eccentric and irascible guys, but overall. Most of the dwarves are still kind. And they are not stingy with showing this kindness...... This is what makes Ji Ran feel that they are the most cute.

Today came the news that the envoys were about to arrive at Ironforge, and immediately kept Ironforger busy. A large group of dwarves stood neatly dressed inside the gates of Ironforge Castle, waiting for the arrival of the envoys - they were the most prominent figures among the dwarves, and they were in charge of part of the reception today, so they could not disgrace the dwarves - in fact, they were dressed like the other dwarves in normal times.

By the way, I forgot to mention that dwarves don't seem to be very used to dressing themselves...... Even dwarven females are often scruffy. It is not uncommon to wear dusty clothes on your body, or to have a few holes in your coat burned by molten iron. Only at celebrations that are worth celebrating. They will change into gorgeous clothes and dance hand in hand.

Although the aesthetics are somewhat different, Ji Ran believes that the dwarves' dance is full of enthusiasm and fully reflects the character of their race...... There's another kind of rugged beauty that pervades it.

In addition to these well-dressed dwarves, there were also a large number of dwarves surrounding the gate, ready to see what the envoys of the Kingdom of Liber were like...... Dwarves love to be boisterous, especially this kind of big bustle.

Out of the dwarves, many adventurers from humans and other races have also come here. After all, it was a big event - the envoys of the Liber Kingdom had not sent many missions to the Dwarven Kingdom in history. No one wants to miss this scene, which is more or less the subject of boasting to others in the tavern later.

Adventurers are like that, they also like to talk in the tavern, and use things that they have experienced that others have not experienced to attract the attention of others. Although Ji Ran and the others didn't have this idea, it didn't affect them from coming over to watch the fun.

At noon, the legations finally arrived. In front of them were two rows of dwarven patrols in heavy armor with sledgehammers in their hands, and in the middle, a group of envoys.

The Kingdom of Liber is the most developed country in alchemy, and this delegation also shows this characteristic. In front are two small alchemy cars, and in the middle is a rather large open-top alchemy cart that is about the size of a heavy truck in his previous world from Ji Ran's point of view - the two people standing on it should be the crown prince and the crown princess.

These two men were probably in their thirties, and they were dressed in formal costumes - the clothes of human beings in this world already had the rudiments of suits, but they also looked like men and women. There were a few other people in the car, and I am afraid they were the ministers who accompanied them.

Ji Ran also keenly discovered that there was a woman in the car who seemed to be out of place with other people. The woman looked to be in her thirties, but she had a different smile from the others, her face was cold, and her eyes were slightly half-closed. But judging from the momentum she exuded, this should be a gold-level master...... is undoubtedly one of the people who guarded the crown prince and the crown princess.

Where is another gold-level master, Ji Ran doesn't know. After all, not only does he have a magic weapon that can hide his aura, but it is not surprising that Liber, as a great alchemy country, has a magic guide with similar functions.

After that, there was a long procession, and it was all accompanied by all kinds of people. Of course, the guards of the Kingdom of Liberge were indispensable in this procession, each riding alchemy horses with metallic appearances, surrounding several cars.

Ji Ran had never seen this kind of alchemy horse in Grantell, and the pedestrians on the road used more ordinary carriages and horses. I'm afraid that these alchemy horses are not something that ordinary people can have-and the strength of this thing must be much stronger than that of ordinary horses.

This kind of special escort team is not only found in the Kingdom of Libel, but also in various other countries. The dwarven knight is a huge monster goat that rides a specialty of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, and the powerful breed of it can even reach the strength of level five or above when it reaches adulthood. The elite mounts cultivated by each force are different, and this kind of alchemy horse can be regarded as a quite distinctive one.

Except for the crown prince and his party. Behind the queue. There were also various other miscellaneous members of the legations. Among them are scholars. There are merchants, there are powerful adventurers...... Of course, these people were not stuffed indiscriminately, and the envoys could not be so undisciplined - in fact, these people would play a variety of roles on the way out, and apart from some of the nobles who were stuffed and gilded, there was basically no waste for the others.

The entourage also smiled and waved at the dwarves around them, and the dwarves didn't care who was waving. There was a huge cheer...... Anyway, it's a guest, it's a guest, you have to give a warm welcome!

The envoys entered the gate of the Iron Furnace Castle lively, and the king of the dwarves also solemnly received the crown prince and his party. The crown prince and his entourage expressed greetings and good wishes from King Liberal, and the King of the Dwarves welcomed the guests from the kingdom of Liber with a big laugh......

All in all, it's all diplomatic rhetoric. However, both sides are obviously very accustomed to this kind of scene, so the atmosphere is still quite warm.

And the dwarves around don't care so much. They just looked curiously at the people from the Kingdom of Liber - they had all seen humans, but most of them had never seen so many humans appear at the same time. And it's not the humans in their strange costumes who catch their attention the most. It's those peculiar alchemy props!

Alchemy carts, big and small, and those alchemy horses...... These things. They've never seen it before. Although the dwarves are also unique in alchemy, this kind of delicate gadget is still somewhat difficult for the dwarves' alchemists......

Naturally, it is impossible for the humans who had come to Ironforge to bring such wonderful things with them - these things are very valuable, and few people can bring them to a place like Ironforge in their entirety except for such envoys - you know, another synonym for finesse is vulnerability.

Of course, these alchemy carts and alchemy horses all have extremely strong defensive magic arrays and other devices on them, but this fragility is not the shell, but the inside. After walking such a long way, these delicate alchemy items are likely to have various glitches......

Those adventurers don't have the skills to fix these things at any time - and of course, they don't have the money to buy them.

Moreover, dwarves have a natural affinity for ores and metals. The shells of these alchemy items are made of metal, which naturally attracts the attention of these dwarves. In fact, it's not just dwarves, even Ji Ran is observing these things curiously...... What's the difference between this and the large-scale traffic magic weapon I learned in the game?

They were watching on their side, and the envoys of the Liber Kingdom were not observing the dwarves around them. As envoys, their task was certainly not just to support the crown prince - although some of them did have such a task - they had other more important tasks, such as observing the living conditions of the dwarves, their racial characteristics, their general strength, and so on.

This does not mean that the Kingdom of Liber intends to go to war with the Kingdom of the Dwarves - it is just a habit of interacting between countries. They at least need to know whether the dwarven kingdom has the ability to bring enough benefits to the Liber kingdom in this transaction.

At this time, the conversation between the crown prince and the dwarf king also came to an end, and the next stage was that the dwarf king invited the crown prince and them to his palace...... As for the rest of the entourage, except for some people with relatively high status who must follow, others can act casually.

When you come to Ironforge, all the dwarves are masters and will entertain guests for their king. Leaving these entourages in the hands of the inhabitants of Ironforge is the best way to exemplify the dwarven hospitable customs.

The crown prince and the crown princess apparently had no objection to this decision - they must have known some knowledge of the dwarven customs. So when the crown prince and the princess followed the dwarf king to the dwarf palace, the rest of the entourage was suddenly overwhelmed by the dwarves who used it. Of course, they didn't mean to kill them - they wanted to invite them back to the banquet.

In the midst of this chaotic situation, Ji Ran suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Hey! Ji Ran! It's Ji Ran, right? And Rice! Alice! Erin! It's me, it's me! (To be continued......)
