Chapter 18: The Contest of Defending Glory

Reiner heard that someone seemed to be arguing, so he hurriedly came over to check, and found that it was Young Master Xiuyin and the dwarf Moffett who had an argument, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Moffett is responsible for the maintenance of the pit machinery, which is equivalent to the role of a consultant, and he is not a resident of Fort Lyxing, so Xiuin's identity as a young master is of no use in front of Moffett, and in the entire mine, only he can fiddle with this mechanical equipment, and his temper naturally rises over time.

Moreover, when Xiu Yin came a few times before, he was just in time for Moffett to go to Bone City to buy some mechanical parts, so he didn't know Moffett, and Reiner didn't tell Xiu that there was another dwarf in the mine.

Although Xiuyin's sweet words reduced Moffett's anger a lot, it was not enough to make him forgive Xiuyin.

"Hmph, let me forgive this rude fellow, and just do it the way we dwarves do!" Moffitt said as he rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, exposing the thick muscles of his entire right arm.

Xiu Yin was puzzled when he saw Moffett's actions, "The way of the dwarves?"

Reiner's face changed immediately after hearing Moffett's words, he had been with Moffett for a long time, since the last dwarf in charge of mechanical maintenance was gone, and the next person to be hired here was Moffett, who had been working here for two months.

Reiner also heard from Moffett about the customs and anecdotes of the dwarves.

So seeing Moffitt roll up his sleeves, Reiner knew what he was going to do, so he was surprised, "Moffitt, you don't really want to try to wrestle with Young Master Xiuyin, do you?"

Scare?!

Xiuin's face was also surprised with a capital letter after listening to Reiner's words, "Wrist wrestling?"

The simplest, roughest, and most peaceful way for the dwarves to settle their disputes is to wrestle their wrists!

Xiu Yin looked at his somewhat slender arms, especially his right hand, which had just recovered from a broken bone a while ago, and then his eyes drifted to the lump of muscle in Moffitt's arm, and Xiu Yin couldn't help but shudder.

"Oh my God, I don't think it's a good idea to wrestle with one of my dwarven warriors!" retorted immediately.

Moffett's face immediately turned ugly when he heard Xiuin's refusal, and he raised his voice and shouted, "What? Are you going to refuse the dwarf competition? You are humiliating a Moffitt who has the glory of a dwarf!"

"Ah, how can that be, I didn't mean to humiliate you......"

"It's not humiliation, it's definitely a humiliation for Moffett to be rejected for the first time he challenged you humans to compete with the dwarves!"

Moffitt's voice was raised, and at the same time, many workers in the mine area gathered around.

"Hey, it's Master Xiuin and Moffitt the Dwarf. ”

"Well, there's a lot of excitement right now......"

Xiu Yin found that many people had come to watch, knowing that if he didn't handle this matter well today, his image of waste wood would be further magnified, but on the contrary, if he could settle this Moffett, his prestige in Lyxingburg would also increase, which would also add some bargaining chips to the battle for the succession title.

Xiu Yin stared at the dwarf named Moffitt, and his mind was quickly thinking of a countermeasure.

I have read about the habits of the dwarves, in addition to being natural craftsmen, dwarves have a bold personality, almost all male dwarves are heavy drinkers, and once they recognize something, they will stubbornly do it to the end, so Xiuin must reverse Moffett's obsession with dwarf competitions.

Dwarves also have a trait that they believe in strength, and they will immediately show their respect for any power that is greater than their own.

Xiu Yin felt that he could take advantage of this, since he already had his own company, of course, he had to recruit all kinds of talent, and in the original world, the eternal theme in the workplace was the competition for talent.

Moffett's status is still equivalent to the role of a temporary worker, and Xiu wants to make him a regular employee of his own company, and also let him have a sense of identity with the company.

It's good that Xiu Yin has the idea of recruiting Moffitt in his heart, but the most critical problem is how to solicit, especially seeing Moffett's thick arms, it is definitely not possible to use strength.

With magic?Xiu Yin quickly rejected the idea, he was only a half-person, and the small fireballs he rubbed out were not enough for the onlookers to laugh at.

"I'm going to duel with you, young master, now!" Moffett shouted again, and as he said he was about to reach out and take off the hammer from his waist.

"Wow, do great dwarven warriors use weapons in duels?" exclaimed Sein, he was sure that Moffett would only need a hammer to make his head bloom, though he didn't believe that Moffett the Dwarf would dare to hurt someone with a weapon in front of such a man.

By the way, weapons?

It was only then that Xiu Yin remembered the crossbow in his backpack.

"Hehe, it's done!"

Xiu Yin was happy in his heart, and at the same time, he immediately smiled at Moffitt on his face, "Great dwarven warrior, I am intoxicated by your powerful muscles, I don't think I can defeat your thick arms......"

As soon as Xiuyin's words softened, Moffett's expression immediately became proud, and it felt quite good for Moffett to be praised and admit defeat by a young master of the baron's family in front of so many people.

However, Xiu Yin's words were not finished, and the next thing was Xiu Yin's killer feature, "But I heard that the dwarven warriors are not only good at making weapons, but also very skilled in the use of weapons, so why don't we try to use weapons?"

Moffett was proud at this time, and a young master proposed to test weapons with him, Moffett didn't take Xiu Yin seriously at all, and asked casually, "What kind of weapon is it for?"

"Crossbow!"

Xiu Yin took the crossbow out of his backpack, his heart had already bloomed with the joy of victory, Moffett would not refuse his competition, and with the crossbow, Xiu Yin was confident that the victory would be his own.

Sure enough, Moffitt jumped up as soon as he heard Xiuyin's words, as a dwarf, would he still be afraid to compete with a young master to test what he was good at?

"Wow, you dare to compare the mechanical crossbow with Moffett, I'll let you see the strength of Moffitt's warriors!"

Moffett ran back to a wooden hut and quickly galloped back with a crossbow in his hand, almost as tall as half a man in his hand, but he didn't have much trouble picking it up, and exclaimed with excitement on his face, "Let's get started, better than what?

Click!

Xiuin snapped a bolt into the groove in the crossbow's body, and pulled the string.

"How to compare, you say!" With the crossbow in his hand, Xiu Yin deliberately glanced at the back of the crossbow, and saw the green cross sight appear in the center of his field of vision, and Xiu Yin felt very comfortable at this moment.

"Hmph, then the great dwarven warriors will come and choose their targets!"

Under the gaze of the onlookers of the pit workers, Moffett's seemingly clumsy body ran to a clearing in the mine area very lightly, pointed to a place and said, "There is a target there, ten arrows per person, and the person who hits the bull's-eye the most wins!"

Huin and the onlookers looked in the direction of Moffett's finger, and sure enough, there was an arrow target set up about a hundred paces from them.

"It seems that Moffitt usually practices when he is bored. Xiu Yin sighed softly in his heart, no wonder Moffitt agreed to himself very happily, it turned out that he also had such a hand.

Xiu Yin came to Moffitt's side with a calm expression and smiled, "Then the great dwarven warriors, let's start now!"
