Chapter 439: The Grey Dwarf's Asking Price
The tall tower of the Dungeon World is the most famous Stratosphere Tower in the Dungeon World, and it houses the most important high priest of the God of Darkness and Shadow, His Majesty Adabicia. And now, the tower has a few guys who don't like the dark elves. But this time, these guys were not blasted out as usual, but were treated as guests by them, which made many dark elves extremely annoyed, and their hands kept rubbing the hilt of the knife.
After a while, four dwarves came in from outside the hall. The dwarves looked like coal, wore dark armor, had a great axe pinned to their waists, and a massive warhammer on their backs. The four of them all looked like they were powerful, don't look at their height is less than two-thirds of the height of the dark elves, but looking at the thick arms with tangled muscles, you can know that the combat power of these guys is terrifying. Even if they fight alone, the dark elves, who are excellent killers underground, may not be able to take advantage of anything.
As the four dwarves entered, the civil and military officials of the dark elves made a noise, and many people cast cold glances, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
But at this moment, a cough came from the back of the hall, and everyone was shocked and retreated.
"Hehe, Your Majesty Adabicia, your men are getting more and more sophisticated. ”
Seeing the deflated appearance of the dark elves, the leading dwarf couldn't help but laugh. And the three guys behind him even made a provocative gesture, which made the dark elf crowd, which had calmed down a little, immediately agitate again.
"Alright. ”
As the calm words came out, an invisible pressure filled the hall. The entire hall fell silent, and even the few gray dwarves who were still making provocative poses couldn't help but put away their fingers.
"Hehe, this is just a joke we played with them, Crown Adabicia, please don't be angry. ”
Seeing the gloomy face of the High Priestess of the Dark Elves, the leading gray dwarf couldn't help but laugh dryly. Even he was suppressed by the high priest's sudden burst of momentum.
"Von Dinomayr, I invited you here to discuss the distribution of power in the underworld. I don't want to play with you, I hope you can grasp your own scale, and if you really have that energy, I advise you to immediately send troops to attack Helmark City, there is a guy there who has a very good appetite for you. ”
Seeing that the leader of the gray dwarves was still a little unconvinced, Adabisiah's voice came coldly. He was also a little annoyed by the untaming of these people.
"Go back!"
Seeing that one of his subordinates was a little angry after hearing the words of the high priest, and wanted to step forward to argue, the leader of the gray dwarves immediately whispered, and the rear suddenly extinguished the momentum and obediently retreated.
After saluting Adabicia again, the Grey Dwarf said, "Your Majesty, I have been invited by you to bring our people here, and please give us enough in return. After all, this man eats horses and feeds, and consumes a lot of resources. ”
"What do you want?"
Hearing such an unceremonious asking price from the leader of the gray dwarves, Adabisiah also replied coldly.
Hearing the high priest's rhetorical question, von Dinomaya rubbed his bearded chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Helmark's place is so remote that there wasn't much even when Hela Sam was still there. Even if we take it down and let us live in it, there will be no oil and water to fish, so we will have to pay more than this dungeon. ”
Hearing the other lion's mouth, the Dark Elf High Priest didn't have any annoyed look on his face, he just asked coldly, "What else do you want besides Helmark?"
But without waiting for the grey dwarven leader to answer, he continued: "The dungeon has a lot to offer you, and even more important rewards in the overworld, such as a castle in the dwarven hills. ”
Hearing what the dark elves said, the dwarves suddenly became agitated.
Although the Grey Dwarves went down to the underground world because they wanted more treasures, how could their life in the underground be compared to the overworld, so they always wanted to return to the surface. Unfortunately, the dwarves were very hostile to this rebellious race, and in order to return to the surface, the gray dwarves launched countless attacks on the dwarves of the dwarven hills, but the dwarves, who had the advantage of numbers and resources, beat the gray dwarves to the head each time. So when the dark elves said this, the gray dwarf's already silent heart turned hot.
"Your Majesty Adabisiah, are you saying you're trying to help us get a chance to return to the ground?"
At this time, the tone of Von Dinomayr's words also became respectful. If they can get help from the dungeon creatures, maybe the gray dwarves will have a chance to return to the surface. Even if there is only one in a thousand hopes, the gray dwarves will not give up.
Seeing that the gray dwarf's momentum finally softened under his words, the high priest's tone softened a lot. He said to the attendant next to him, "Go, move a few seats for the adults, and let the adults sit down and talk." ”
At this time, the high-ranking officials of the dark elves on both sides realized that the high priest had expected the gray dwarves to be domineering, so they did not prepare anything for them to sit on from the beginning.
"I see, I thought it was because the high priest was in a bad mood and asked us to punish him, it turned out that he wanted to give the gray dwarf a dismount. ”
A dark elf officer in armor said secretly in his heart. On normal days, even if there is an important ceremony, there are enough seats, but today it is strange that there are no chairs in the hall except for the throne where the high priest sits. They are standing now, their legs and feet are a little sore.
Soon several Dark Elf warriors entered the main hall with tall chairs.
Seeing those chairs that were a little too tall for him, Von Dino Mayer couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said in his heart: "This dark elf is really shady, in order to kill our momentum and compete for the initiative, he actually keeps stumbling on himself. But thinking of the fatal temptation of returning to the surface, he had to grit his teeth and suffer this secret loss.
Once seated, Von Dinomaya said to the High Priestess of the Dark Elves, "Your Majesty, you have summoned us, I think something big has happened. So I hope you can be open and honest about what we really need to do, and try to negotiate the price as well as possible, so that it will be easier for me to negotiate with my people when I go back. ”
Hearing the gray dwarf's words, Adabisiah nodded and said, "No problem. This time I invited you here to plan for great things, and it is a major event that can affect both the underground and surface worlds, and it is also the only chance for our two races to get ahead. ”
"Oh, there is such a good thing?"
Hearing the dark elf's words, Von Dinomayr's eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth burst into laughter. By the light of the fire, many people could even see his yellow-stained teeth.
"Yes, this mission was given to us by our god of darkness and shadow. And if we succeed, we will be able to master an artifact capable of directly destroying the enemy's spirit. ”
When Ada said this, many dark elves couldn't help but move.
"If you tell the other party the truth, has the situation become so out of control?"
Many people think in their hearts.
The Grey Dwarf race inherited the dwarf's irascible character, but thousands of years of underground life also made their hearts more insidious, so when they heard the word artifact, the Grey Dwarf's eyes suddenly lit up, and they made eye contact with each other for a while, and then looked at the leader together.
Von Dinomayr rubbed his hands together, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know if this artifact is worth the price we have to pay? Since you said it was an artifact, it would be absolutely impossible for those guys in the dungeon to let us get it easily." So the price we pay must be very high, and I wonder what reward package you have?"
