Chapter Fifty-Nine: Underground

Morning, Hammer Street.

The name of this street seems incompatible with Nolan, the capital of magic, but it is not without reason that the street is called so.

When Joshua stepped into the street, there were far fewer human spellcasters than anywhere else in Nolan.

There were noticeably more dwarves carrying hammers and axes, and the sound of striking iron was constantly ringing from the surrounding shops.

The heat from the furnaces used by the dwarves caused the entire street to rise in temperature.

"Aren't you sleepy when you wake up so early?"

Ciri, who was following Qiao Xiu, yawned, she stayed up late again last night, and after finishing part of the original painting, she also got the first manuscript of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" very beautifully.

"This is the norm for a creature like a programmer."

Qiao Xiu used to stay up late for three days on the earth, but after coming to this world, Qiao Xiu has the physique of a Chaos Demon, and it is no problem if he doesn't sleep for a week.

"Procedure... What the? Never mind... The old dwarf from last night came. ”

Ciri had given up trying to make sense of Josiu's strange words, and pointed to the frost axe coming from the dwarf crowd in the distance.

The height of the human being is really conspicuous standing in the dwarf pile, and the frost axe can see Qiao Xiu and Ciri at a glance.

"You're so much harder than those lazy stinky boys!"

After the frost axe walked all the way in front of Qiao Xiu, he stretched out his hand to Qiao Xiu very enthusiastically, and Qiao Xiu also held the hand of the frost axe unceremoniously.

Dwarven hands are twice as large as human hands, and the surface of the calluses resemble a layer of armor.

The moment Qiao Xiu held the frost axe, Qiao Xiu could feel that many eyes were looking at him on the street, and most of them were humans.

The Frost Axe is the famous Great Elder of the Frost Axe Clan on this street, this clan is the most powerful among the dwarves in Nolan, and the status of the Frost Axe among the dwarves is naturally self-evident.

And Qiao Xiu's fresh face can let this dwarf elder go out to greet him in person, should Qiao Xiu be flattered in theory?

"Mr. Frostaxe, aren't all the dwarves in your blacksmith shop striking iron?"

Qiao Xiu looked at the blacksmith shop where Frostaxe walked out, it was one of the largest blacksmith shops on this street, and the sound of striking iron sounded in this blacksmith shop, not to mention that there were more than a dozen dwarves working inside.

"It's only in the morning that I can take a look, and I don't have the strength to do it in the afternoon, let's go, let's talk below!"

Frostaxe seems to firmly believe in the truth that 'one's own children must not boast'.

Qiao Xiu didn't say much, and under his guidance, Qiao Xiu and Ciri walked into the blacksmith shop.

The moment he stepped into the blacksmith's shop, the temperature jumped from spring to hot summer at once, and Nolan's current season has just entered early winter.

Ciri pulled the clothes on her body a little uncomfortably, the temperature here is not what Ciri can bear, and the magic robe on her body has the function of keeping warm.

Qiao Xiu unleashed a spell called 'Frost Technique' under the 'Flowing Water and Healing God' system that Ciri's sister Herlan believed in, which lowered the temperature in a small area, which finally made Ciri feel a little better.

After doing this, Qiao Xiu glanced around the blacksmith shop, and found that next to each iron furnace was a lizard with a fiery red body about a meter long, and the flames from their mouths became the furnace fire used by the dwarves for forging.

This should belong to a kind of Warcraft, there are many magical animals in this world, if Qiao Xiu has time in the future, maybe he can shoot "Animal World" or something, or simply call it "Where are the Fantastic Beasts".

Now I still focus on the business in front of me.

Frost Axe took Qiao Xiu to the depths of the blacksmith shop, and after coming here, the temperature around him dropped a lot, and when he saw the stairs on the floor leading to the ground, Qiao Xiu understood what Frost Axe's sentence 'go down there and talk' meant.

"Don't be left behind."

Frostaxe walked down the stairs, and Qiao Xiu and Ciri also walked down the somewhat slippery stairs, and after about three minutes, the underground city hidden beneath Nolan and ruled by the dwarves was revealed to Qiao Xiu.

"Welcome to Blackstone Castle!"

Frostaxe proudly said the name of the city to Qiao Xiu.

The whole city is integrated into the rocks underground, and the layers of rock above are inlaid with a large number of glowing hedrons, like stars at night.

The Frost Axe led Qiao Xiu directly to a shop not far from the entrance, which was completely different from the dwarven blacksmith shop on the ground.

All sorts of protozoars were stored in glass-made display cases, giving Qiao Xiu the immediate sense of walking into a jewelry store.

"Choose a raw ore of raw crystal, I will take care of the polishing, and I will ask you one thing before I negotiate the price."

Frostaxe pondered this thing all night yesterday, and that's what the oval gem set in the center of the card in Hearthstone means with four colors: white, blue, purple, and orange.

"What kind of official version of that one you are talking about, are the cards used in it from the beginning that everyone has?"

"Of course not, each account will start with a basic deck, but more powerful rare cards on top of this need to be collected by purchasing card packs, and it takes luck to open rare cards, such as the weapon 'Blood Roar' that Mr. Frostaxe used before, which is one of the epic cards." Qiao Xiu said.

It was at this time that Frostaxe finally discovered the true gameplay of this game, which was card drawing.

No wonder those difficult cards don't have a level on them, they were originally given from the beginning! Frostaxe admits that there is indeed a part of it that is very useful, but he definitely wants this card of Bloodroar!

"Make a price! Just exchange those primordial crystals on this. ”

The urgency of the frost axe could not allow him to wait any longer, and he never believed in such an illusory thing as luck.

To make matters worse, the Frost Axe is notoriously bad luck among the dwarves, and every time he mines he doesn't dig anything good, he consciously stands far away when the dwarves dig new mines.

“……”

Qiao Xiu glanced at the various primordial crystals placed in the glass cabinet, and the prices marked on the primordial crystals were all around thousands of gold coins.

Thousands of gold coins in exchange for a bunch of data? Maybe it's not worth it at all in Qiao Xiu's eyes, but it's worth it in the eyes of Frost Axe.

This is the same as in the eyes of the frost axe, these protozoars that can only be sold to humans have such a purpose, and they have no meaning to him at all.

And that's one of the scariest things about e-commerce, where countless people are willing to pay for a bunch of data that can be typed out with a few codes, and they still enjoy it.
