Chapter 428: The King of the Dwarves
After parting ways with the culinary masters, Domorgan still followed Ji Ran and them out of the tavern.
"How's that, master dwarven cooks, what impression do you make?" Domorgan seemed a little more relaxed when he left the tavern, at least emboldened to speak.
"Hmm...... How to put it, first of all they are dwarves, standard dwarves. Secondly, they are indeed masters, real masters...... That's it. Ji Ran knocked his head and made a strange answer.
But Domorgan understood.
"That's right, the master of the dwarves, naturally you have to have the character of a dwarf! And they are also genuine as masters, both in terms of technique and mentality...... But I think Ji Ran, you really don't lose to them, although your personality is a little different. Domorgan smiled and patted Ji Ran's ass. No way, the distribution rights of those liquor are too important to him.
"Haha, it's useless for you to make a fool of yourself, the contract has to be negotiated with Annick, and the transaction is also a matter for the two of you, I don't mix." Ji Ran naturally knew what Domorgan was thinking, so he gave him a preventive shot early.
So Domorgan lowered his head in disappointment: "Oh my God, that Enlek is really an authentic human businessman...... If I'm not careful, he'll suck my blood dry! Really, why don't deceitful people come to do such a thing as negotiations......"
His whispered muttering was clearly heard by Ji Ran, and the latter couldn't help but think about whether to tell SΓΉ An Lek to embarrass him a little......
"By the way, who are the dwarves who are the judges? How do I feel...... Their status is quite high, and even you are a little afraid of them. β
Suddenly. Les, who was on the side, spoke.
Domorgan heard the question. He looked up and smiled wryly.
"I knew you were going to ask...... But now it should be fine. In fact. The one who talks to you the most is none other than the King of the Dwarves. β
This news is indeed quite shocking, but no one on Ji Ran's side expressed too much surprise...... At least most people don't.
Rice is because he has a long guess, and Baker is because he has no heart and lungs. Erin had always been moody, and the impact was not enough to make her expression. And Alice didn't understand what the king of the dwarves represented......
Lydia understood what the king of the dwarves was, so she looked startled, but only for a moment. On the contrary, it was Ryan, whose eyes widened suddenly: "He is the legendary king of the dwarves?" has a strength beyond the gold tier. The king of the dwarves who can fight a group of gold-level demonic beasts with one person, and deter the Ere Kingdom from making a move against the dwarves, and those orcs do not dare to attack the dwarves? β
Ji Ran also learned some things about the King of Dwarves from history class. When the King of Dwarves succeeded to the throne, he showed his strong side, and at that time he repelled the attack of a group of gold-level demonic beasts...... Those gold-level demonic beasts came to Iron Fort to ask for it because they dug up a special gem in Ironforge Fort, and naturally they won't succeed - and then they started fighting. Then, the king of the dwarves beat them to the brim, leaving behind some parts before fleeing in disgrace.
Although such a brave dwarf is not rare in the world, in this era, he is really a top powerhouse. Even the Ere Empire, which has a strong desire to expand, hit a nail in the coffin in front of the dwarven king, and finally had to honestly go back to abide by business norms and trade with the dwarves. The orcs of the plateau had wanted to come to Ironforge to loot - they would rob as soon as they ran out of food. But here at Ironforge. However, he was ruthlessly intercepted and encircled by the king, and finally had to leave a large number of corpses and then fled back with wolves.
For dwarves. This king of dwarves is nothing short of legendary. Every dwarf respects him and sees him as the will of all dwarves...... To put it simply, in Ironforge, if you offend the dwarven king, he can turn you into a piece of meat - smashed by the hammers of all the dwarves around you.
I didn't expect that dwarf king to be so approachable! Although Les had some guesses, he was not sure, just because this dwarf king looked too kind, and he didn't look like a dwarf anymore!
"That's right, the King of the Dwarves. And around him were the elders of the Dwarven Council - including my grandfather. When Domorgan said this, he hung his head a little again, "So I didn't even dare to eat more...... Not to mention the food cooked by Ji Ran, I usually can't even enjoy the food cooked by the cooking masters! β
This is also understandable, although Domorgan has an elder grandfather, the dwarves are not interested in using the glory of their elders to do evil...... Your grandpa is your grandpa, you are you. Maybe I'll make it easy for you for your grandpa's sake, but don't expect me to let you get away with it for your grandpa's sake!
Basically, that's what dwarven thinking is. And those who gave him convenience were not because they were afraid of his grandfather, but because they had a good relationship with his grandfather.
Of course, Tama was not an obnoxious child himself, which made his liquor trade smooth sailing.
β¦β¦ Isn't it a bit too inappropriate for a bearded guy to call a child?
All in all, the people who were invited by those culinary masters to be referees today are some big names.
"If it was just now, I would not dare to say it, because our king is afraid of scaring you, the fairness of the competition will be reduced, and the joyful atmosphere of the banquet will be reduced...... This is also the reason why Wang has rarely appeared in public lately. Domorgan went on to explain, and the crowd expressed understanding.
Being in a high position may not be all glory, and sometimes there are a lot of troubles. What Domorgan said was one of them.
All in all, this exchange with the culinary masters benefited Ji Ran a lot, and he also got the commitment of the culinary masters. As long as he is free in the future, he can come over at any time to exchange cooking skills - these culinary masters have been trying to break through the current bottleneck for a long time, and now that they see the light of day, how can they give up?
Their own research is one thing, and Ji Ran's communication is also very useful. And Ji Ran is also quite interested in this aspect - the sauces made by the dwarven cooking masters make him find them very interesting, if he has to think about it, it makes him think of the old godmother of the original world......
And where he didn't know, there was a group of people watching them.
"They came out of the taverns of those culinary masters? I didn't expect to be pulled into this relationship by them...... Does it have something to do with that Mog? Didn't see Mog? Instead, I saw the Domorgan who sold wine? Well, their friends are fairly extensive...... However, we will not let them go. β
Scott looked out the window of the Ironforge Lodge...... To be honest, it's not really beautiful, it's just rocks, and it's a rock that doesn't move - if it's the sky, you can at least see the white clouds fluttering, right?
So, Scott just thinks in a posture. And he felt that he looked a lot like his grandfather...... Maybe it helps him think with the same mind as his grandfather...... Grandpa was a remarkably smart man.
"Dunis, you idiot, this is Ironforge, not the Ere Empire! How many of the adventurers who can reach Ironforge are weak? In the Ere Empire, others will always give you a little bit of knowing your identity, but here, who cares about you? If it weren't for this talent of yours......" Scott turned his head and stared at Dunis with a stern look in his eyes.
"The responsibility of the family will be handed over to your shoulders in the future, and you can't always waste your time on these unnecessary things! I can help you get revenge this time, but I don't want to see you do this a second time! Otherwise, I'm sure Grandpa will approve of my punishment of you!" Scott stared at Dunis, causing Dunis to bow his head involuntarily.
Scott snorted and turned to leave the room. And after Scott left, Nadunis was relieved.
"Whew, my cousin is still so stern. Really, I obviously have the power to help me avenge it, but I have to ink it for a long time...... What do you say that the heavy responsibility of the family is on my shoulders, since this is the case, please me now! If I become the head of the house in the future, no matter how much you please, it will be useless! β
As if venting, Dunis talked to himself in the corner for a long time. Then he looked up and looked out the window at the pedestrians on the street.
"Those guys...... I won't let them go...... And those chicks, hum, dare to say that kind of thing to me, and dare to do it to me? When I get them back, I must let them know that I am powerful, young master! β
A lewd smile appeared on Dunis's face again......
Ironforge is a big city, and it's not just about the city of Ironforge.
The Ironforge Fort was built on a hill - well, it was built on the opening of the mountain, and almost the entire city was built within the mountain. Outside, it has been transformed into countless sculptures, fully expressing the rugged artistic outlook of the dwarves...... To be honest, from a distance, it's quite spectacular.
After Ji Ran and the others had enough of walking around the city, they ran outside again and enjoyed the outside scenery of the Iron Fort from many different angles. Huge stones carved into a variety of shapes, and most of them were tall dwarves with war hammers - yes, tall dwarves, the smallest of which were at least a few tens of meters tall......
It is said that the sculptures were dug up little by little by dwarves with hammers and chisels, without even using any magic...... Okay, it's still a little bit of magic, but these statues are indeed carved by the dwarves themselves.
From this, you can see how tough and tenacious those dwarves really are.
In addition to the sculptures outside, there are other spectacular views of Ironforge Castle. But Ji Ran and the others' attention now is not on those scenery, but on another characteristic building of the dwarves.
That's right, it's a mine. (To be continued......)
