Daniel took the wood spirit from the boat, the tree with the bucket, and the lute, and found a sunny corner on the side of the road, and was about to dig a pit, when he hesitated again, raised his head and asked, "It won't be a problem to plant it here, right? What if someone cuts it down and burns it for firewood?"

"Don't worry, after planting, I'll add a defensive circle, ordinary people can neither see nor enter, only his plant can come out of it, isn't that no problem?" Lukka said.

After solving the safety hazard, a group of people were busy for a long time and finally transplanted this potted plant to the ground. Lukka finally set up the circle, patted the dirt on his body, and led everyone towards the shipping management office on the dock.

There was an advance check from the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce, and Lukka didn't have any trouble registering the boat, but when he handed the completed form to the dwarf sitting behind the desk, the other party stared at him for a long time, and suddenly pulled out a hammer from under the table, startling him.

"What are you doing here?" Lukka took a step back, clenching the Amethyst staff.

The shipmaster said with disdain on his face: "This is also worth making a fuss? You guys like hemp rods are just too bold!"

After speaking, he carried the hammer in one hand, dipped the hammer head in the ink, and covered the form handed by Luca with a "bell".

"Actually using a hammer as a seal?" Phil cried out in surprise, "Won't your arms get tired?"

The shipmaster glared at him, didn't say anything, just threw the form back impatiently.

Lukka didn't bother to fight him, took the form and turned to leave.

The Meze Islands are made up of dozens of small islands, which the dwarves have given their names according to their own habits, and it is Alpha Island where Lukka is now located, and where the main city of the dwarves is located, Anvil Rock.

The island is small in size, less than two kilometers from the pier to the mayor's town office, and is connected by a flat road, and the magnificent roof of the town office can be seen from the sea on a clear day.

As he walked, Luca observed the pedestrians around him, the inhabitants of the island were almost all dwarves, and they were between one meter two and one meter three tall, slightly taller than goblins and gnomes. Although the height difference is not too large, the dwarves are much thicker, and even women are muscular.

The male dwarves in the streets all wore large beards that hung down to their waists, and most of them were braided in various braids and decorated with shiny gold and silver. Female dwarves are much more austere, except that they do not have beards, and are not much different from male dwarves in appearance. In contrast, the female dwarf that Lukka met on Moonspring Island was quite good-looking.

Both men and women, the dwarves wore a hammer on their belts and a long apron around their fronts, not of the usual fabric used in kitchens, but of leather, which seems to be their traditional attire.

Although Lukka didn't see any other races along the way, the dwarves didn't seem to be too surprised by these outsiders, and didn't shout at the onlookers in surprise, just glanced at them indifferently, and then frowned and avoided them. It seems that Nora is not bad at all, they do not like outsiders very much.

The signs on both sides of the road were neatly written, telling Luca exactly where they were going, and everyone soon came to the front of the town office.

Before Luca could say his name, the guard at the gate came up to him and said loudly: "Buy goods and go to the exchange, turn left until the end, outsiders are not allowed to wander in front of the town office!"

"We're here to find the mayor, not to buy anything. Luca said.

"Looking for the mayor?" the guard asked, looking up at him, frowning, "What are you?"

Hearing such unkind words, even the best cultivated person can't help but get angry. But then, Lukka heard him continue: "It's not an elf, it's taller than an elf, it's a lot fatter, and it's even less like a dwarf, is it an orc with albinism? But without fangs......"

He muttered to himself for a long time, looked at Lukka suspiciously, and asked again, "What the hell are you?"

Lukka finally understood, and the sentence he asked was not angry at himself, but literally.

"I'm human, haven't you seen a human before?" he put back the staff he had pulled halfway from his belt.

The guard shook his head, and then suddenly realized, "You are the humans mentioned by the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's right, that's us. Luca said.

"That's fine, you guys go straight in. The guard said as he opened the door behind him.

"Just go in, don't you have to reciprocate?" Lukka was a little surprised by such a loose defense.

The guard waved his hand: "No, the people of the Undercurrent Chamber of Commerce, who dares to stop it?"

Lukka suddenly felt a little proud, shut up and whispered in his ear, "Your son's business is very good here." ”

Of course, the town hall was not completely unfortified, and the guards led them through the door, found a dwarf with a beard and three braids, talked a few words, and then turned back to Luca and said, "This is the mayor's assistant, he will take you to the mayor." ”

The assistant was dressed as a civilian, but he also had a small hammer hanging from his waist, and if it weren't for the spotless shirt and a lot of ink on his fingers, he would not look much different from the guards outside.

He walked over and bowed slightly to Luca: "Hello, my name is Kuta Winter Mine, and I am the fourth assistant to the mayor, please come with me." ”

Lukka nodded, following him.

"Civilians are just different, they are polite when they hear it, unlike those dwarves outside. Daniel said.

"Oh, if the guards and the dock keepers are not polite, please don't care. Kuta said as he walked, "We dwarves don't care too much about things like politeness, and I'm here to help the mayor with foreign affairs, and I'm going to learn on a temporary basis." ”

"And what kind of business do you dwarves do?" Thea asked curiously, she couldn't help but reach for the golden ornament on Kuta's beard for the third time, and Lukka stopped her for the third time.

"Well," Kuta said, unoblivious to the danger of the ornament on his beard, "our main job is to smelt ore and forge weapons. You see our leather apron and hammer, even if I am not a good blacksmith, I must carry these two things with me. ”

"Isn't that a brilliant blacksmith, isn't it just an ordinary blacksmith?" asked Luca.

"Of course, our first profession is blacksmithing!" replied Kuta.
