Chapter 45: Hammer Street
"Anna is quieter, and you're more spicy......" Damian carefully observed Loren's face.
"I'm talking about looks, not character, don't try to perfunctory me. Loren unceremoniously pushed him back.
"Okay, well, you're prettier, you're the most beautiful one in both the Habs and Lorraine, aren't you?" Damian finally succumbed to Loren's "obscenity", who made the Knights of the Female Eagle Knights fist big.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it, though I know you're lying. Loren seemed pleased with the answer.
Kritina next to her sneered and stood up, "Okay, I'm going to work, don't delay your little two flirting, it's good to be young, no one wants an old pearl like me." ”
Hearing the description of Kristina's little couple, Loren's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Sister Kristina, you are so beautiful." As he spoke, he glanced at Kristina's full chest, "If only I had half of you." ”
Kritina saluted Loren and said with a smile, "Princess Loren is just nice to say, if only all the nobles were like you." ”
Damian suddenly had a sense of déjà vu that the original partner and the junior were in harmony, and he quickly shook his head to dispel such a long and proud thought from his mind.
After Kritina left, Damian and Loren sat in relative silence, staring wide-eyed.
"Aren't you leaving?" said Damian with a frown.
"What do you mean by being in such a hurry to drive me away, is it to see that the hostess at the front desk is good, and you want to exercise your noble rights, right?" Loren's vicious eyes were like a little wild cat.
Damien was very annoyed, "Don't be full of such thoughts, what kind of education are you Alva royalty!"
"But do the nobility really have that right?" Damian knew that the nobility in some parts of medieval Europe had the right to the first night, and wondered if the world was the same.
"Dream on you, you can try, be careful of being caught by the law enforcement team, Lord Viscount Maple Forest. Loren had a look of "finally seeing your true face".
"Is there anything else, just go back and rest if it's okay. Damian didn't want to deal with the unruly princess anymore, so he waved at Loren and ordered him to be evicted.
"What are you doing in the afternoon?" asked Loren.
"I'm going to a dwarven settlement, what's wrong?"
"Then I'll go with you. ”
I don't know why today, Loren wants to follow him alive or dead, Damian has no choice but to go to the dwarven settlement with her, today Damian made an appointment with Elder Sean of the Cold Iron Clan to talk about the business of spar trade.
.........
The dwarven settlement of Lorraine is at the junction of the Upper and Lower Towns, in a place called Hammer Street. It is said to be a street, but in fact the area is very large, and the dwarves have traditionally dug many passages and built buildings in the ground, and often horse-drawn carriages are walking on the road, and suddenly the road surface collapses, and it sinks into a dwarven house. Over time, humans rarely came to Hammer Street again, and it became a world of dwarves.
Damian stepped out of the carriage, the air was filled with the smell of soot, and in the distance a huge chimney was spitting black smoke billowing into the sky, and the whole neighborhood looked like Victorian London.
If human beings are still in the Middle Ages, dwarves have entered the industrial age, this is Damien's evaluation of dwarven civilization, but because of the existence of magic, technology has failed to show its due power, after all, a forbidden level of magic, its destructive power is no less than a tomahawk-class missile.
Loren was in such a place for the first time, and she covered her mouth and nose and glanced at Damian with dissatisfaction.
Dami Anxin thinks that you have to come with me, and now you are blaming me, it's really inexplicable.
The blacksmith shop of the Cold Iron Dwarves is on the side of the road, and a large flag hangs at the door, on which a large blue hammer is painted.
The symbol of each dwarf clan is basically a hammer, as for the difference, last time Damian listened to Sean's explanation for a long time and didn't figure it out, only figured out that he saw a blue hammer flag, which means that he went to the territory of the cold iron dwarves.
Damian walked into the shop, and there was a wave of heat and the cacophony of metal crashing, and several dwarves were striking iron in front of the stove shirtless.
A red-bearded dwarf saw Damian and greeted him loudly, "Barrel, you're here, the elders have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Hello Love, I've been strong again after a few days. Although he was used to the dwarves calling him barrels, there was still some embarrassment every time he heard Damian, especially when Loren was snickering beside him.
Redbeard Rov let out the usual hearty laugh of a dwarf, "Get in, and when I'm done with this sword, I'll come and drink with you!"
Love is the dwarf who clashed with Anna in the tavern that day, and he and Damian don't know each other, and now he is the dwarf with whom he has the best relationship in the entire Cold Iron Clan except for Elder Sean, and he is boasting about the name of Damian Barrel everywhere, as if he has become a member of the Cold Iron Clan. Damian admires the dwarves' spirit of "if you can't beat you, you'll let you join us".
Inside the blacksmith is a tavern, but it is very shabby, and there is nothing but tables, chairs, stools, and wine barrels, proving once again that this race really has no artistic and aesthetic ability, and it is no wonder that the dwarves like to come to Blackstone to drink.
Elder Sean sat in the corner and waved vigorously at Damian, the table in front of him was already full of various wines, "Come over my friend, today we must decide the winner and see who is the real first barrel of cold iron!"
Loren finally couldn't hold back when he heard this nickname, and squatted down and laughed regardless of his image, and Damian looked at her helplessly from the side.
Or maybe it's because of the name Barrel, every time Damian comes to see the dwarves, he is pulled to fight for wine, and everyone seems to be interested in competing with him for this glorious title, anyway, with the perverted physique of the dwarves, drink and sleep more, and the next day he will be resurrected with full blood. Evans, known as the Great Hand, was much luckier, and no one dared to challenge him, after all, the last man to do so was still wearing a bandage and a hammer with one hand.
So Damian now thinks of Hammer Street, his head is big, every time he comes here, it seems to go back to the life of drinking with customers when the property was sold in his previous life, once drunk and hugged Sean there for a long time and said, "Find a brother, I will buy a house for you to leave the best apartment type, and the provident fund business loan is yours" and something like that, so that the next day Evans asked him seriously, "What is the difference between the area in the suite and the floor area?" made Damian almost think that his big knight was a peer who had crossed over.
