In the garden in front of the door of the Castle Lord's Mansion room.

The dwarves were sitting at the table, eating their prepared meals.

At the middle table, in the center sat Aslan and Simalan, Aslan raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Simalan, "Come! This glass of wine represents the arrival of the dwarven friends welcome to the flying city." ”

Sima Lan also raised the wine glass in his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, good lord, for being able to accommodate us to rest here, and provide us with such a sumptuous meal, the god of the earth will bless you." ”

"!"

Aslan doesn't know much about drinking, but he can still taste the taste of this wine is very average, the taste is very light, it is lighter than the beer of the earth, it feels not much better than horse urine, and now that there is food, after a while to see if he can produce some beer and liquor.

Aslan smiled: "Brother Simalan, don't always call me the lord lord, if you don't mind, I'll just call you by your name, and you can just call me Aslan." ”

Simalan smiled, "Okay, Brother Aslan, you are the best human I have ever met, and I am so lucky to have met you." ”

Aslan said: "Where is it, meeting is fate. With the knife and fork in his hand, he picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth.

Sima Lan swallowed another glass of wine, he shook his head and said: "Brother Aslan, you human things are good everywhere, but this wine is too weak and not strong enough, next time I invite you to drink the wine made by our dwarves, the taste is guaranteed that you will not forget it once you drink it." ”

Aslan said, "Then I'll wait." ”

Aslan noticed that after Simalan spoke of dwarves, his expression darkened significantly.

He put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Simalan and said, "Brother Simalan, I can see that there must be some story about you, and then look at the injuries you have suffered." If you believe me, you can talk to me, maybe I can help you. It's not good to hold some things in your heart. ”

Simalan drank another glass of wine, his eyes looked at the mountains to the west, and said, "Brother Aslan is like this to us dwarves, I have nothing to hide. As I said before, we came from the other side of the mountains, and to be more accurate, we actually escaped. ”

"Escaped?"

"On the other side of the mountains there is a kingdom of dwarves called Ironforge. There are a lot of dwarves living there, because it is surrounded by mountains, so to speak, isolated, and we do what we love every day, mining all kinds of ores, crafting all kinds of weapons, tasting our own wine, that is our carefree life. Simalan's eyes were full of memories, as if he had returned to his hometown.

Aslan knew that the dwarves were born blacksmiths, and their hands seemed to be born to create weapons, and the weapons they created could be said to be the top in the continent.

Simalan's expression became heavy, and there was a kind of anger in his tone, "And we dwarves are actually the copper tribe, one of the four major tribes of the dwarven kingdom. We live on the outskirts of Ironforge, the center of which is controlled by the Golden Tribe, and the Yin Clan live in the cities of Ironforge, where they are in charge of the most elite armies of Ironforge, and there is also an Iron Tribe, which has the largest population. ”

"However, just half a year ago, the Silver Clan, who was in charge of the army, launched a rebellion, and they tried to break the status quo of the four tribes, and in this way, the civil war broke out in Ironforge Castle around power. ”

"What happened after that? your Copper Clan was defeated?" Aslan guessed.

"Yes, we, who have devoted all our thoughts and energy to the art of forging, are unable to resist the attack of the Silver Clan, and we have been forced to leave the Ironforge Fortress. ”

At this time, the anger in Simalan's eyes was even stronger: "However, they are desperately chasing after us, and they want our copper tribe to hand over the highest level of forging techniques that have been forged through hundreds of years of research. However, the forging technique was gone decades ago, and they didn't believe it. A terrible massacre of our people. ”

"After that, you fled to the mountains, and ran here?"

"We were separated from the large army in the flight, and only a few of us were left, because of the pursuers behind, we did not dare to turn back, we could only keep running. ”

"Didn't you say before that there was also a tribe of gold and iron, and they didn't stop the atrocities of the silver tribe?"

"Stopped, but I don't know why, the warriors of the Silver Clan are full of combat power, as if they are not afraid of life and death, when we escaped from the Iron Furnace Castle, the Iron Tribes are still fighting against them, as for what is happening now, I don't know, as for the Jin Tribe, it is even more just a joke, the entire prohibition is not more than 10,000 people, they have always been the royal family of the Iron Furnace Castle, this operation, the actions of the Silver Clan, they definitely maintain a tacit attitude, otherwise the Silver Clan would not dare to be so arrogant. ”

Aslan figured it out, it turned out to be a dwarf civil war. However, it was indeed unexpected, that there was a dwarven empire across a mountain range.

"Do you know how far your dwarven kingdom is from here, and where it is?" Aslan asked.

Simalan shook his head and said, "We have lived near the Iron Fort for generations, and we don't know the exact location, and we are purely chaotic in the mountains, and we are being chased by the soldiers of the Silver Tribe, and we are not clear about the direction at all. ”

Aslan sighed, it seemed that it would take some time to figure out this "neighbor".

As for the dwarven kingdom sending troops to crusade against Aslan, Aslan has never been afraid, the relationship between the races in this world is not so harmonious, if the dwarf kingdom sends too many troops over, it will only alarm the White Fortune Empire, and even cause diplomatic disputes, not to mention that they are still in civil strife, who knows when they will be able to quell the rebellion, maybe by the time they put down the rebellion, they will have long forgotten the Ximalan group.

"What are you going to do there? "Aslan, the conversation has shifted to the present.

"Later?" Simalan looked around at the people who were laughing and eating, and he didn't know where he was going next.

Aslan actually didn't plan to let them leave when he fed them the life potion, otherwise he wouldn't have lost a lot.

"I don't see any good places for you to go in the short term, or you should stay in my Flying City now, and I will provide you with food and shelter. Aslan suggested.

Simalan waved his hand and said, "Then how can we bother you again, if you heal our wounded and provide us with food?" ”

Aslan smiled, "But you tell me, do you have any plans for the future now?" ”

"I ......"

"Since you haven't planned for the future, it's better to stay in my Flying City, although my Flying City has just started, it's no problem to raise a few more people, and you can also help dig and mine, forge weapons, even if it's a reward." Aslan patted Simalan on the shoulder.
