Chapter 59: The Dwarven's Treasure

The dwarf huffed and didn't want to say anything more. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info And Hiko looked at him like this without any hurry. He even had the notebook in his hand writing and drawing, and he didn't take the dwarf in front of him to heart at all.

Naturally, the dwarf's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and the anxiety in his eyes became more and more serious. Yan can afford to drag it, but he can't afford it. For the dwarves, the ore is the basis for the forge, and if they can't beat the iron felt, life is meaningless to them. What's more, ore is still the basic material of the entire industrial chain of Crucible, if even this basic material cannot be guaranteed. Then the Crucible City may not be able to guarantee even a basic deal in the next year. And that kind of loss is absolutely unbearable for the Kulin family.

So, after grinding for a while, the dwarves still chose to compromise.

"Okay, okay. Little guy among the Nords, you win. ”

"No, no, no, Mr. Cullin. We're not enemies, so there's no need to say we can't win. We're just getting to know each other, just like I told you about our situation, and now it's just you going to tell us about you. ”

Regarding the dwarf's softness, Hiko immediately explained with a smile. And his explanation, for Kulin, is simply a kind of mockery of getting cheap and selling well.

This made him immediately snort coldly, but he still maintained restraint and said to Hiko.

"We can't possibly give you that much supplies, and in fact we don't bring that much at all. That's all we have. ”

With that, the dwarf Kulin immediately hooked his finger behind him, and then immediately two dwarven guards carried a box in front of Hiko. In front of Yan and the Nords, Kulin directly opened the box, revealing the golden coins inside in front of everyone.

"There are two thousand kindlers here. I think you know the purchasing power of Kindler, and there should be no problem for us to buy all your ore for this thousand Kindler. ”

Having taken out the incomparably precious Kindler, Cullin held his head proud, thinking that the deal would be won by him nine times out of ten. But he waited a long time, and he didn't wait for the reaction he wanted. This unexpected situation made him look up immediately. And this look suddenly made his whole person feel bad.

I saw that whether it was Yan who was in charge, or the Nord warrior on the side, or even the old shaman Lu, they all looked very interested. Not to mention the surprise and disbelief he expected to happen, and even the extra glances, these guys didn't bother to glance at those kindlers.

This is not right, very wrong. Just by looking at it, Kulin saw the problem. So he immediately said to Hiko.

"Don't tell us you don't know what Kindler is worth. I can tell you, this crate of Kindler is enough to buy your ore. Don't overdo it for me. ”

"Perhaps, but, Mr. Coolin. If that's all you can offer, then I can only tell you with regret. We can't do business. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Hiko directly made a look of no interest in continuing the conversation. And looking at his appearance, Kulin immediately became anxious.

"What the hell do you mean, little ghost. Make it clear to me. Even if you reject my offer, you have to give me a reasonable reason. ”

"Why?" Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Hiko thought for a moment before turning to the dwarf. "It's simple. If you had given me such an offer in the territory of an empire or a kingdom, I would have gladly accepted it. But here, on this Arest Icefield, this offer of yours is simply worthless. ”

"Didn't anyone tell you that in the Icefield of Arest. Are gold coins not as practical as a sack of grain?Or do you really think that you can go to all corners of the world with Kindler? If so, then I can only tell you, Mr. Cooling, that you are still a little too young. ”

The indifferent words sounded particularly harsh to the dwarves' ears. Although there was not a single dirty word in Hiko's words, he felt extremely ashamed of the dwarf. This made his whole face turn red in an instant, and he himself stood up excitedly, giving people a feeling that he couldn't help but want to explode.

And in the face of this situation, Hiko has not reacted yet. The old shaman had already stood in front of Hiko with his crutches, and used his tall body to block Hiko extremely tightly.

He didn't speak, but his movements already showed his attitude. Under the old shaman's statement, the angry dwarf Kulin stubbornly suppressed the anger in his heart, twitching the muscles on his face and asked Hiko.

"Don't you have any workarounds?"

"Of course, Mr. Cullin. As if he hadn't seen what Kurin had just done, Hiko still said to him with a smile on his face. "You know, it's not just us Nords and you dwarves who are trading here. There are also caravans of humans, elves, and some merchants of other races. You can trade your Kindler for supplies and then come back and trade with us. I think they'll be happy to help you with that!"

Although it is said that the dwarf is given a suggestion, but really, this suggestion is no different from not saying it. You know, in this trading place, almost all merchants are cunning. They always keep an eye on everything the Nords have here, so it is naturally impossible for them to ignore what is in the hands of the dwarves.

A thousand kindlers do have a lot of purchasing power in a place where materials can be easily circulated, but here, in this place where barter can only be made, its purchasing power is directly pressed to the limit. It is quite possible to say that if Coolin went out to trade with those merchants, they would even be able to overwhelm the price of these kindlers by seventy or even fifty percent. That would be a fatal thing for the dwarves who have always been greedy. So even if you kill him, he doesn't want to do such a thing.

"Isn't there any other way?"

The dwarf, who had already witnessed Hiko's trouble, continued to ask him. He hoped to get a solution from Hiko, not from the businessmen outside. So he immediately put forward his opinion. "You can trade with me and then use my Kindler and the merchants to buy what you want. Trust me, little one, with all this money, you can buy anything you want. ”

"You're kidding me, Mr. Coolin. Shaking his head, Hiko refused without thinking. "Money isn't as versatile as you think. Moreover, the rules of bartering are set by us, and you can't expect us Nords to break our word and get fat. ”

At this point, the dwarf could only dispel all the ideas in his heart. But he was still unwilling, unwilling to be rejected like this. So he thought about it again and again, and then gritted his teeth fiercely and said to Hiko.

"I still have one thing, if I give it to you, can you trade with me?"

"It depends on what you take out?"

As soon as he saw the dwarves' expressions, Hiko knew that they must still have something good on their hands. This made him immediately squint his eyes and said to the dwarf with a smile.

Hearing this, the dwarf immediately widened his eyes, and then sat down abruptly, waving his hand again at the guard behind him.

This time, the guard brought over a box. After the dwarf Kulin took the box, he immediately held the box in his arms, and at the same time touched the shell of the box, revealing a reluctant look.

"This is an order placed by a nobleman of the Empire in the Crucible. Originally, we were going to send these things over with the procurement team. Unexpectedly, I heard news from the imperial side just halfway through. The nobleman who placed the order was beheaded by General Valagar at the front because he lost the battle and fled from the battle. Without a buyer, we would not have been able to give such a thing to anyone. So I've always kept it with me. I just didn't expect ......"

The dwarf said a lot of things, no doubt to tell Hiko, how valuable this thing was in his hand. And what could be so valuable, Hiko couldn't think of it at all. This made him curious enough about what the dwarves had in their hands, and he did not hesitate to show this curiosity.

"Let me see. If it has the value you described, then I think we can continue to trade. Mr. Coolin. ”

Hearing Hiko's reply, the dwarf Kulin's face showed a little struggle. But in the end, he still put the box in front of Hiko, and at the same time opened the lid.

Suddenly, a light that flickered like a star instantly dazzled Hiko's eyes. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, and it wasn't until a moment later, as he adjusted to the light, that he could see what was in the box in front of him.

It was a neatly stacked box of metal ingots. There was the brightest silver light all over the body, like stars twinkling on it. Just by looking at them, one can feel that they are precious and magical. And when Yan stretched out his hand and picked up one of the metal ingots and weighed it, he was surprised to find that this heavy, brick-like metal ingot was actually light. It's like holding a feather in your hand.

Such characteristics immediately led Hiko to guess the origin of these metals. One of the three most valuable metals of the dwarves, Mithril. Legend has it that this Mithril can only be found in a large silver mine. It's hard and it's as light as a feather. is the best armor and weapon material. However, due to the extremely limited production of this metal, it is almost only barely seen in the true high society. It is no longer possible to describe this metal by comparing its price to gold, and its value has even reached the point where it cannot be measured by money.

Seriously, even Hiko himself didn't think of it. The dwarf would actually take out such a treasure in front of himself. This made him immediately ask the dwarf.

"Mr. Coolin, are you sure you want to trade with us with this?"
