After the two dwarves woke up, they first communicated with Bert for a while, and then walked to Ling Yun and the others to express their gratitude to them.
Then in the process of casual communication, Ling Yun raised the question he was most interested in.
"By the way, how did you get caught by those kobolds, and how did you end up here?"
At this, the three dwarves were all ashamed, and finally Bert blushed and said, "We were back in the village when this group of kobolds sneaked up on ......"
Ling Yun wanted to dig deeper, but the three dwarves were reluctant to tell the details of how they were caught by the kobolds, and simply said that they had been attacked by this group of kobolds, and especially emphasized that they had been sneak attacked...... Thinking about it, they also felt that it was not a glorious thing to be attacked by a group of kobolds.
"Then you should be returning to the village now, right?" Ling Yun asked, shaking his head.
"yes!" Bert nodded, led his pony, and said with emotion, "It's a pity that I didn't find any ore when I came out this time......
"Ore? Did you come out looking for ore? Ling Yun asked.
"Yes, the main purpose of our coming out is still hunting, and by the way, we are looking outside to see if there are any ore veins...... You don't know, there is an urgent shortage of a large amount of ore in our village, and if it weren't for the fact that there is still a small vein to support it, I am afraid that we would have migrated to find a place with ore veins to survive. ”
"That's right!" Ling Yun nodded thoughtfully. He really wanted to abduct these dwarves, including all the dwarves in their village, to the other side of the city, but there was no valid reason, now that he knew that the dwarves lacked ore, it would be easy to do, and when he returned, he let the group of gnolls and goblins explore the ore veins around day and night, and could not find the ore veins without food...... It's a bunch of cannon fodder anyway.
In order to know the specific location of the village where the dwarves lived, Ling Yun said to the three dwarves in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "My friend, for your safety, we have decided to escort you back to the village, and with your current condition, if something happens, it will not be good!" ”
Hearing that Ling Yun cared so much about them, the three dwarves were about to fall into their tears, and as soon as they grabbed Ling Yun's hand, they said excitedly, "Friend! ”
Being held by three male dwarves like this, and with an excited look, Ling Yun still felt a little weird......
"Then let's go!" With that, the dwarf pulled his pony by the hand, and then discerned the direction and walked towards the southeast.
Tang Yurou asked with some concern, "Isn't this dangerous?" What if he leads us into a trap. ”
Ling Yun didn't have any worries and said, "Dwarves are an upright and bold race, they are not as brutal and aggressive as orcs, nor as warlike as centaurs, nor do humans have so many intrigues and calculations, although they have a little bit of racial discrimination, they still have quite high intelligence, they will never take revenge, we can follow them with confidence, and you haven't noticed that the path they are taking now is basically the same as the path we are taking......"
"Yes...... When you arrive in the dwarven village, don't anger the dwarves, and if the dwarves want to see your weapons, it's best not to refuse, the dwarves have an innate fanatical love for weapons, and if possible, even if you take the initiative to show them to the other party, maybe there will be other additional gains......"
"Also, collect all the ordinary ores on hand first, and then I will use these ores as gifts to encourage all the dwarves, maybe they will help us strengthen our equipment......"
Led by three dwarves, the group made their way through the grass, around the swamps, slaying the beasts that passed by, and over the low hills, until they came to the surrounding mountains.
Ling Yun looked at the complicated terrain around him, and was a little glad that he had saved the dwarves, if it weren't for the dwarves who knew the nearby roads, I am afraid that it would take them at least a third of the time to complete the part of the road they had just walked.
Seeing one mountain after another in the distance, the dwarf's footsteps became slower, and gradually, there were more and more signs of biological activity around him, and the number of wild beasts became more and more, basically every hundred meters he would encounter one or two wild beast attacks.
But there were not many of these beasts, so they were quickly dealt with by everyone.
After turning over a few mountain ranges, Ling Yun and the others saw a small mountain, although this one was not very high, but it was particularly conspicuous in the surrounding mountains, because its shape was extremely peculiar, from a distance, the hill was like a huge iron hammer, and it could be seen at a glance from a distance of more than ten miles.
When the dwarves reached the foot of the hill, they were blocked by a small river, and there was a large open space on the bank of the river, and a large number of fruit trees were planted, and the earth and stones were piled up to form a wall, and there were hundreds of small stone houses in the wall, and many dwarves with different images could be seen working.
Some dwarves were chopping wood, some dwarves were swinging their hammers, hammering iron after hammers, and some dwarves were staring at the other dwarves with big eyes and blowing their beards......
Because Ling Yun and the others were too conspicuous, and their height was much taller than the three dwarves of Burth, Goss and Yat, they were discovered by the dwarves at once.
Immediately, a dwarf raised the hammer in his hand, and then shouted a few times, and came to the other end of the river, separated by a distance of more than five meters, holding weapons and confronting Ling Yun and the others.
Ling Yun didn't care about this, but began to observe this dwarf village, the scale of this village is not large, for the time being, judging from the houses, the number of dwarves is definitely not more than five hundred, they live in houses built of stone. There is plenty of hay on the roof for cover, and there is a small fruit grove around it, but there are no other crops.
Everywhere in this village are rudimentary forging tables and furnaces, which are used by dwarves to practice for novice dwarven craftsmen.
The three dwarves, Bert, Goss, and Yat, explained that Ling Yun was their savior and rescued them, because they were injured, and for their safety, Ling Yun and the others escorted them back.
After hearing their explanations, the dwarves relaxed a little, but the look of vigilance in their eyes did not diminish for long.
After a while, a movable iron bridge was moved by several dwarves, Ling Yun and the others stepped on the iron bridge, and under the leadership of several dwarves, they walked into the village, and many dwarves took away the corpses of the beasts that Bert brought back and went to process them.
After entering the village, Ling Yun and the others did not wander around at will, but stayed in front of some forging tables and began to carefully observe the magic patterns on them, but the magic patterns on them were too complicated, and no one had studied them systematically, so they were confused.
After a while, a particularly strong dwarf came up, his muscles were swollen, his upper body was wearing fine armor, he had a pitch-black short hammer tied around his waist, his face was full of red beard, and he could barely see his facial features, but his strength was very strong, he had reached the level of the peak of the third order, and it would not take long to advance to the fourth order, with such a high strength, Ling Yun estimated that he was the village chief of this dwarf village.
Dwarves are also divided into many kinds, there are dwarves who are good at fighting, and there are dwarves who are good at forging equipment, since the era of the big goblins, the dwarves have gone into decline, and they have been suppressed by the goblins, resulting in them being forced to go away and live in various parts of the continent, forming one dwarf village after another, and it is precisely because of this that the equipment created by the dwarves in different places also has its own characteristics.
However, the scattered dwarves are even more difficult to survive, the dwarves do not like farming, only like forging equipment, in the past, they are all by making equipment, and then exchanging food with other races, after dispersion, they also lose the ability to trade this way, so the number of dwarves on the entire continent is very small, at least in other races that are often millions of races, dwarves are rare.
After the dwarf village chief appeared, he asked the dwarf who led the way, and then communicated with Bert and the other three dwarf knights, and then turned his eyes to Ling Yun and the others, and after carefully looking at them, he walked towards Ling Yun and the others with a smile on his face.
In the process of traveling along the way, Ling Yun also informed the dwarves that he was a human race, so as not to cause panic among the dwarves when they arrived at the dwarven village.
The dwarven chief stretched out his right hand and spoke, "I am the head of this village, my name is Orr, thank you for saving our people, you are our dwarven friends.
The dwarves are not an easy race to get along with, they have a very fiery personality and a temper as stubborn as a stone, they are warlike and unwilling to admit defeat. The dwarves have a characteristic that once they approve of something, it is very difficult to change. If a dwarf thinks you are a bad person, then even if it is a hundred years and a thousand years, he will still treat you as a bad person, and no matter how much remedy is taken, it will be difficult to repair the relationship. On the other hand, once the dwarves regard you as a friend, as long as you don't do too much to be sorry for them, these honest dwarves will always treat you as a friend.
And the lifespan of dwarves is long compared to the lifespan of other races, as long as there are no accidents, their lifespan is usually nearly twice as high as that of people of the same strength of other races, and dwarves are more hard-working than all races, they can withstand hard labor, trekking, hunger and physical pain, they like to drink and forge all kinds of equipment.
