Chapter 6: The Dwarves of House

House, this is a typical dwarf city, this is a city established by the snow dwarves of the far north in the interior of the Dolo Mountains, this city has a history of thousands of years, House was once a symbol of the glory of the snow dwarves, but with the rise of the Ice Alliance, House was incorporated into the Ice Alliance more than three hundred years ago, and after that, House is no longer just a city inhabited by dwarves, more and more humans and other races will appear in House.

Yayadak had never been to Haus, and when he stepped into the Haus in the Dolo Mountains, he was struck by the majestic city built inside the snow-capped mountains. If you want to talk about the Ice Alliance, the chief big city must be the capital Oren, that is the commercial center of the Ice Alliance, and it is also the largest town in the entire Ice Alliance.

Now House, with the snow dwarves as the main living group, humans second, and then there will be some spirits living here, House is a town dominated by Mithril gathering, this town shows a strong atmosphere of busyness, the people in the town are busy, the most peaceful place in House is probably only the countless taverns scattered throughout the town, the tavern is the favorite place of the dwarves, especially in the snowy and snowy far north. Bright torches are scattered throughout the House, the kindling of these torches is ignited with an unquenchable fire, a unique magic that the dwarves are proud of, a flame that cannot hurt others, but only brings eternal light, and only the caster himself can extinguish the unquenchable fire.

Yayadak followed Silveraxe St. Louis's procession through the streets of House, where some of the inhabitants looked out from the huge stone houses on either side of the street, most of which were built directly on the rocks, which was the favorite way of building for the dwarves.

Passing through several wide stone streets, a huge stone house appeared in front of Yayadak's eyes, the huge stone door of the stone house was open, and on each side of the huge stone gate stood a group of warriors with tomahawks in their hands, and in the middle of the huge stone gate stood a dwarf in a turtleneck and fur vest, this dwarf had a thick red beard, the color of the beard was the same as the color of his hair, and the dwarf's beard was very neat and neat. On the other hand, St. Louis, the silver axe, who also has red hair and a red beard, has a slightly messy beard that he is proud of.

"Lord Silveraxe, why are you only back now?"

As the team reached the stone gate, the dwarf standing in the middle of the stone gate with his back hand said to St. Louis in a slightly reproachful tone, and Yayadak guessed that this dwarf must be a high-ranking figure in the Silver Axe family, perhaps St. Louis's brother.

Silveraxe St. Louis laughed at the dwarf.

"I said Alfred, my old fellow, don't be so nervous all the time!" St. Louis turned and turned Yayada over to him.

"Come! I'll introduce you to a friend from Docdos. โ€

"Hello, I'm Yaydac. Yayadak smiled and politely extended his right hand.

The dwarf also stretched out his right hand, his right hand clenched into a fist, and then looked at Yayadak with an unhappy expression.

"My name is Silver Axe Alfred, the head of the Silver Axe family, we dwarves don't have the habit of you humans shaking hands, our etiquette is to touch fists, you come to House, you should be familiar with the rules of our dwarves. โ€

Yayadak smiled awkwardly, he quickly apologized, and clenched his right fist to touch Alfred, who nodded in satisfaction.

"Lord Silver Axe, Lord Snow Hammer has sent an attendant to come and say that when you return, you will immediately go to the Patriarch's Hall to find him, and the other family patriarchs are currently there. Alfred said to St. Louis, and after speaking, he ignored St. Louis, turned and walked into the stone house, complaining about all kinds of grievances against St. Louis as he walked.

"Haha! don't be surprised, that's what Alfred looks like!" St. Louis laughed when he saw Yaydac's blank look.

"You and your companions should have a good rest, and when you are well, you will return to Doctoros, and feel the lively atmosphere of our house these days." โ€

Ayadak nodded in acknowledgement, and St. Louis patted him and let one of the dwarves take him away. When Ayadak left, St. Louis stood there with his hands behind his back and frowned. After handing over some of the things she was carrying to the other dwarves, Nicki came to St. Louis's side, she didn't speak, she really stood by St. Louis's side in silence.

"What a headache, the thought of going to see that guy makes his grandmother feel a headache!" St. Louis grumbled, pinching his forehead.

Nicki gently patted St. Louis on the shoulder.

"I've heard that Lord Blacktower is very unhappy with what you've done, and he thinks you're overindulgent. โ€

"Indulge yourself, that Barbossa idiot knows what a fart! We dwarves should keep honing ourselves in battle! If we stay in the room all day long, we will become waste!" St. Louis even stomped his foot angrily.

"Is it possible that all of our Hows's snowy dwarves are fucking learning what bullshit politics like Snow Hammers?

Because the Silver Axe family came to have guests, the dwarves of the Silver Axe were busy, going in and out of the gate, and each dwarf would nod and say "Hello Silver Axe" when they saw Silver Axe St. Louis, at first St. Louis nodded in response one by one, and later, when the impatient St. Louis saw someone saying hello to him, he quickly waved his hand and asked the other party to leave quickly.

Nicki couldn't help but laugh when she saw the impatient Silver Axe St. Louis.

"Lord Silveraxe, as the patriarch of the Silver Axe family, you actually have a good relationship with Lord Snowhammer. โ€

"What bullshit! I'd rather never drink snow wine than learn the disgusting way of a snow hammer!" St. Louis seemed to think of something.

"Well, I'd rather be a year...... For a month, I'd rather not drink snow wine for a month than learn the style of a snow hammer!"

"Okay, Lord Silver Axe, let's not mention that style for now, I think you better hurry up and go to the Patriarch's Hall, don't let Lord Snow Hammer and them wait in a hurry, wait for the meeting, hurry back and drink some good wine." Nicki couldn't help but laugh.

The wine was clearly a temptation, and St. Louiston's eyes lit up at the mention of it, and St. Louis handed over some of his belongings to one of his dwarves and tried to go to the Chief's Hall, but he stopped without taking two steps, and he turned around and winked at Nicki.

"Nicky, you come with me, in case something can't be dealt with, you can also help me talk, the key is to wait until the meeting is over...... Hey, hey, help me take care of the snow hammer and get some snow wine!"

Nicki smiled and shook her head slightly in deep helplessness, so she promised to go to the patriarch's hall with Silveraxe St. Louis, because Nicki knew that if she didn't agree, then the silveraxe master would definitely make a big noise, and this old kid was the most headache, so Nicki didn't want him to make a fuss.

The Patriarch's Hall is in the center of House, this is a huge stone castle, but also the absolute core of House, the Patriarch's Hall is very magnificent, the unique architectural art of the dwarves is undoubtedly revealed in the Patriarch's Hall of House, the stone castle is carved out like a great work of art, delicate and majestic, a huge magical flame is erected in the center of the Patriarch's Hall, and the bright and unquenchable fire shines on every inch of land around the Patriarch's Hall.

Silver Axe St. Louis and Nicky walked along the stone avenue to the Patriarch's Hall, there were many, many people gathered outside the Patriarch's Hall, most of them came here to handle various businesses, and some came here for help because of some problems, the Patriarch's Hall has a lot of town office staff, they are responsible for dealing with all kinds of problems that arise in House, these problems can be large or small, in human terms, the Patriarch's Hall is the political center of House, that is, the government office.

St. Louis skillfully bypassed the crowded crowd in the courtyard in front of the main entrance of the patriarch's hall, on their side, there was a dwarf arguing fiercely with the office staff of the patriarch's hall, but these are not strange to people who have lived in the hall for a long time, dwarves usually don't have much patience to reason in detail, so the government office area of House is probably the most messy government office area in the entire Yarrow continent, who let House be incorporated into a country governed by humans, so the successive rulers of House have tried their best to be consistent with the management of this countryใ€‚

After breaking through the four dwarves who had fought over mining problems, St. Louis and St. Louis finally came to the gate of the patriarch's hall, and the two heavily armed dwarves standing in front of the door saw St. Louis, immediately saluted, and opened the door, St. Louis nodded and walked into the patriarch's hall with Nicky.

The Patriarch's Hall was not much better inside than outside, and it was still a busy and crowded crowd that occupied every corner of the Patriarch's Hall, and St. Louis and Nicki squeezed through several crowds before they finally arrived at the Patriarch's Hall. The conference hall is not a big room, because every time there are people attending a meeting here, there are always a few people, in the middle of the conference hall is a large round table, which occupies almost half of the space of the conference hall, there is a circle of chairs around the round table, in the round table there is a huge map of the snowy region of the Far North, there are many chess pieces on the map, the map is located here in the Brent Snow Field, there are many markings and some route maps, and one of the greatest dwarves in the history of House, Snowhammer Spano, is pointing to the map, telling the other two dwarves, and when St. Louis and Nicki push the door inSpanor stopped explaining, and he looked up at the two St. Louis, while the other two dwarves turned their heads to look at the two St. Louis.

"Hey, St. Louis, you're finally here!"

Spanno was very happy when he saw St. Louis, and he walked up to St. Louis and extended his right fist.

St. Louis returned the salute with a fist, and he walked out of a chair at the round table, and sat down alone, regardless of the others.

"Don't do it all the time! I'll take the Silver Axe family to hunt, will I still die in the Brent Snowfield?"

St. Louis voiced his displeasure. In fact, Silver Axe St. Louis also knew that the other three patriarchs of House were very disapproving of his overly enthusiastic adventurous spirit, and they were afraid that St. Louis, who had an impulsive personality, would cause unnecessary trouble.

"My old man, things are going wrong in the Brent Snow Fields right now. Spanno smiled, and he walked over to the map, squinting his eyes, and looking at it carefully, as if he could get some answer from it.

The others were silent, because they knew Spanno, and at this time Spanno was definitely thinking about something important, so it was better not to disturb him at this time.

The patriarch of the Blacktower family, Darktower Barbossa, has always been very displeased with what Silveraxe St. Louis has done, and he always thinks that a guy like St. Louis does not know how to govern House with the patriarchs of the other three families, and Barbossa always suggests to Snowhammer Spanno that he should put pressure on the Silveraxe family to force the Silveraxe family to remove St. Louis as the patriarch, and then appoint another member of the Silveraxe family who is truly worthy of the patriarch position as the new patriarch. Then these proposals were rejected by Spanno without hesitation, because Spanno knew the loyalty of the Silver Axe family, and if such a situation happened, it would inevitably cause a dispute within House, which would really affect the development of House.

Hetha Barbossa stared disapprovingly at Silver Axe St. Louis who was leaning back in his chair, while Starshield Hulk, the patriarch of the Starshield family, sat quietly in his chair and looked at the pensive Snowhammer Spanor without saying a word. Starshield Hulk is a taciturn snowy dwarf and a brave and fearless guard, Spanor often says that among so many comrades, Starshield Hulk will always be the most trusted partner, and for Snowhammer Spanor, Starshield Hulk has always unreservedly supported the great ruler of House.

"The Icefield Ogres are getting wilder, they have begun to appear in groups in the small villages of Brent Snowfield, and the Icewolves have also begun to rush over the snowfields in groups, which is too unusual. โ€

Spanno's left hand behind his back, his right hand repeatedly brushing his beard, he was deeply disturbed, the current Brent Snow Field seems to be so dangerous, recently he just got the news, on the Brent Snow Field, many villages have been washed in blood, which makes the House on the border of the Brent Snow Field also feel deeply threatened, so Spanno must find out the cause of the matter.

"There must be some unknown danger hidden on the Brent snowfield. โ€

Nicki spoke her mind, and the idea was endorsed by the other dwarves.

"It's really too sudden, these things have never happened on the Brent snow field before, as long as you don't go deep into the snow field, just walk along the avenue, it won't be too dangerous, because the ice ogre and the ice wolf are not stupid to hunt on the avenue patrolled by the Lacdos warriors, but recently there have been many attacks on the avenue, and the previously stable village has also been killed. What is the so-called alien danger that is causing all this? Haven't our scouts heard back yet?"

Barbossa had always been an insightful dwarf, and the danger lurked was uneasy for everyone, with the possible exception of St. Louis, of course, for the word uneasy meant nothing to him.

Spano shook his head helplessly, "No, no news at all. โ€

In recent days, Spanor has sent many scouts to the Brent Snow Field, but these scouts have never returned, although this also makes Spanno more convinced that the crisis is lurking in the Brent Snow Field, but for this mysterious enemy, Snow Hammer Spanor does not dare to respond easily.

"Our scouts can only trust them. โ€

Starshield Hulk's words were short and powerful, which was the result of the helplessness of the moment, and even Silver Axe St. Louis agreed, as a battle-hardened berserker, St. Louis also knew that any move made without knowing the other party's condition could lead to bad consequences.

Afterwards, Snowhammer Spanor decided that the other three patriarchs should train their warriors well, because an unknown war could break out at any time on the Brent Snowfield, and the dwarves of House should be ready for war at all times.

Blacktower Barbossa, Starshield Hulk, and Silveraxe St. Louis also knew that the danger was on their side, so they didn't say anything, on the contrary, these dwarves were gearing up, after all, this warlike race is not afraid of any danger, especially the battle-loving and adventurous Silver Axe St. Louis.

After the meeting, Silver Axe St. Louis and Mary Nicki hurried back to the Silver Axe Stone House, where a grand banquet awaited them, the dwarves were always warm to the guests, this night would definitely make Yayadak and Ikaf unforgettable, delicious food, delicious dwarven brews, and a joyful atmosphere infected everyone present, even Druka, who had just suffered a lot from the amputation, unconsciously smiled.

"Hey, boy! That's how it should be!"

A dwarf named Mรผller shouted passionately at Druka. Muller was a trusted retinue of Silveraxe St. Louis, a young dwarf, only about fifty years old, with a short, delicate black beard, which showed that he was a very clever man. Muller squeezed through the crowd and came to Druka's side.

"Hey, you've seen my father, too! He lost both legs in a battle sixty years ago, and now he's the greatest blacksmith in all of House! Who doesn't know my father Rummeni in House! You're lucky, you've only lost one leg, and there's so much more you can do in the future!"

Muller was full of enthusiasm, and many people in House loved Muller, especially the House children, who felt that Muller was the funniest dwarf in the whole world.

"I see, thank you, Mueller. โ€

Druka was full of gratitude to Muller, because after the amputation, Muller always tried to encourage Druka, although Druka could not accept this reality at first, but he has always been steady, and in less than a day, his mood stabilized, such a great perseverance made the dwarves of the Silver Axe family admire, Druka deserves the title of Docdos Warrior.

The feast lasted until late at night, and it seemed that on this night any danger that existed on the Brent snowfield seemed to be absent, and the people forgot about the danger and misfortune for a while, and drank heartily and did not get drunk in such a joyous atmosphere.

Yayadak, Ekaf, and Druka had been recuperating in the Silveraxe family for less than a week, and one afternoon, Yayadak found Silveraxe St. Louis, who expressed his desire to return to Dockdos, because he was afraid that the Ducks did not know about the danger, and he wanted to go back to report the danger lurking on the Brent Snow Field and what had happened to him in the snowfield.

St. Louis expressed his understanding of the decision of the three Yayadac, and he immediately arranged for a group of elite warriors led by Masano, the head of the Silver Axe family's guard, to escort the three Yayadak to Dokdos. When they parted, the three Yayadak once again thanked Silveraxe St. Louis for his rescue and hospitality, and in the past few days, Druka and Muller also formed a deep friendship, and after greeting each other, Yayadac, Ikaaf, and Druka embarked on the road home to Docdos under the escort of the dwarven warriors of the Silver Axe family.

Silver Axe St. Louis looked at the group of Yayadaq who were gradually moving away, and at this time he suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, this word that had no meaning for him, for this fearless berserker, for the first time, hit St. Louis in the depths of his heart, because he felt that such a stable and carefree day was probably coming to an end, and there was a biting cold wind in the Brent Snow Field, mixed with the smell of danger, perhaps, a cruel war was in such an atmosphere, waiting to break out at any time.
