Chapter 44: A Different Dwarf Race (2)

Thank you for the monthly pass of Fanhua Shenyu and beautiful new window book friends :-d!

Baroque once inquired in detail about the physical characteristics of the dwarves on Celine's continent, and compared with the dwarf in front of him, if you want to find the biggest difference, it is undoubtedly the dwarf's beard!

The old dwarf in front of him had a silver-gray beard, and almost all of it was braided into a beard, which was fastened with a silver metal buckle and hung down densely to his chest, which was very beautiful. It is said that the dwarves on the continent also have a tradition of weaving whiskers, but most of them only leave a few ornaments, and not all of them are braided into whiskers.

This old dwarf has deep eye sockets, gray eyes, and the most special of all, a big red nose, and is covered with silver-white precision chain mail that makes even the Baroque eyes red, and the chain chain is amazingly fine! If I am not mistaken, this chain mail is probably made of Mithril............ For a moment, Baroque had the urge to snatch!

Fortunately, it was just an idea, not an action. And Baroque can also feel that this old dwarf is definitely not easy to mess with, and even has doubts about whether he will be his opponent.

"The Frostwolf Clan, the patriarch of the Blue Wolf Tribe, is also a shaman...... Baroque salutes you, good dwarf!" said to the elder, whose baroque etiquette was impeccable, and bowed slightly to his chest.

"You're still a shaman? Are you twenty years old? There aren't many orcs as young as you. The old dwarf was obviously very surprised by the Baroque status, and could not help but shout. Baroque smiled in his heart, but he relaxed a lot............ It seems that no matter how mysterious it is, dwarves are dwarves, and they can't change their frizz. Rough character.

"As you can see, good dwarf, I am a shaman. Baroque unleashed the shaman's power at the right time, forming a ring of ice blades around his body. He discovered a little after the dwarf heard that Baroque was an orc shaman. Apparently a lot friendlier............ This was a little confusing, but it didn't stop him from identifying himself immediately!

"Baroque, huh...... Lord Shaman. You can call me Saadin!" said the old dwarf Saadin, and then, apparently apparently recognizing that it was rude for him to do so, he added the honorific title: "Since you no longer understand the Sochi text, I will have to dictate our request." First. Return the large wild boar we raised. Second, exit this mountain forest within a radius of fifty miles, and do not approach our caves without permission. Thirdly, you are to give us a hundred head of cattle or the equivalent of food as compensation. That's it, if you say yes. Then the two races can get along with each other without interfering with each other, and we don't mind being neighbors with you. ”

Baroque immediately retorted, "It's hard to ......!" Stopping the angry old dwarf, he went on to explain: "First of all, if you are familiar with the habits of the great boars, you should know that once they are tamed, it is difficult to betray, and unfortunately my people have tamed all thirty large boars, which means that you dwarves can no longer have them. Of course, if you just want to eat their meat, that's no problem. But at this point, I think we can exchange the same weight of livestock meat. ”

"Hmph, the first one will do as you say!" The old dwarf obviously knew that the big boar would not come back as a mount, so he simply agreed to the orc's proposal. This immediately made Baroque aware of it............ The dwarves are desperately short of food!

"Number two, good dwarf, my tribal settlement is on a hill thirty miles from here, if it is as you ask. Then we would have to abandon our homes and migrate. Do you think you would say yes if it were you?"...

Old Saadin was silent. Their race is notoriously stubborn about their own home, put yourself in their shoes. If someone asks them to abandon their homes, they will not be able to do so, and they will even start a war immediately.

"Then this one says that you are not allowed to go near our cavern for twenty miles, that's the bottom line. ”

"Yes, I will restrain my people and never approach this place without the permission of the dwarves. Baroque agreed. The Kundu Maya Mountains are so vast and huge that the foothills of this mountain range alone are thousands of miles away, and even if you want to go deep into the forest to hunt, you can't go to the dwarves to grab territory and avoid it.

"Oh, I can answer you at once for this last one, and as a sign of respect for the dwarves, I will give you two hundred sheep as compensation. Baroque gave the old dwarf some favor, but the fox's tail eventually revealed: "Of course, as a gesture of kindness, I would like you to grant me a small request." ”

"What's the matter?" the old dwarf looked at Baroque warily, and his joy at getting a lot of food was immediately suppressed.

"If I may, I take the liberty of begging you to tell me the secrets of the Sochi script, and of course I would be grateful if you could teach me this script. Not only will you receive the friendship of my tribe, but we will give you five hundred sheep at once. And as my personal gratitude, I can give you a barrel of ale. "The dwarves are famous for their love of ale in the continent, and the Baroque wants to get in touch with the dwarves, so he has to take out one of the few kegs of ale he has left to pay a bribe.

Sure enough, just as the human profiteers are greedy for gold, so is the dwarves' craze for ale. The old dwarf's beard was shaking, and he made a dry swallow and spit, his expression was very complicated, and finally he replied with difficulty: "I need to discuss with my people and give you an answer tomorrow." ”

"Of course, good dwarf, then I'll take my leave. Baroque cautiously took his leave, and rode up Lac to leave the rocky hill. The old dwarf behind him suddenly said: "There is one more thing you have to remember, don't use the word dwarf when you call us next time, you have to call us gray dwarf...... The word dwarf has been tarnished by the blasphemers of the earth. ”

Baroque was ignorant and did not know what the difference was, but the old dwarf had already shut his mouth and apparently did not want to answer, so he had to leave.

Returning to the tribe and informing the long-awaited tribesmen of the contact process, Baroque finally said the old dwarf's strange request in confusion.

"Wait...... Wait, gray dwarf, you say gray dwarf?" Tinga shaman suddenly cried out, he patted his head, "I really want to hear it somewhere, wait, gray dwarf...... I'd love to have heard of it......!"

"Gray dwarf......" Susan and Celine also looked extremely surprised, and they glanced at each other, both seeing the incredulity in each other's eyes.

"You know the Grey Dwarf race?" Baroque asked, staring at the two women, displeased. He thinks that Susan and Celine are deliberately hiding something, which makes him uncomfortable............ Probably strong men are like this!

"Don't get me wrong, Baroque. Finding that Baroque was a little unhappy, Celine knew that her man had misunderstood, and explained: "This is a legend that has been passed down for a long time, even dating back to when the orcs were still powerful. Because thousands of years have passed, and the dwarves have deliberately concealed it, so that now except for some scholars, ordinary people do not know this secret. It was only when we saw the ancient records in the Great Library that we remembered the name Grey Dwarf. It's been too long, and I've forgotten it for a while. ”

"By the way, I remembered!" Tinga also suddenly exclaimed at this time, "I am in the Shaman's Presbyterian Church...... Well, the [Scroll Hiding Place] of theirs had stumbled upon a piece of vellum paper with secrets about the grey dwarves. ”...

"Tinga Shaman, tell me ...... details. Baroque still had some caution, and was angry with Celine and Susan, and deliberately let Tinga tell it. This made the two women laugh, and then they suddenly remembered...... After all, Baroque is still a young man who has just turned nineteen, and it is his maturity and steadiness that conceal this. But young people's temperament will be more or less revealed, such as the occasional irrationality in feelings. However, instead of getting angry, the two of them were happy, because it showed that Baroque cared about them!

"It is said that thousands of years ago...... Just before the time when humans attacked the orcs in a big way and overthrew their rule. There was an upheaval within the dwarven race, which led to the division of the race. It is said that the dwarven king at that time declared that some dwarves had rebelled, and not only sent an elite army of dwarves to suppress it, but even received assistance from human armies. Those so-called rebellious dwarves were simply unable to resist the human legions, which were already getting stronger and stronger at that time. I could only ask for help from the orc forces at that time. Speaking of which, Tinga added: "When we orcs ruled the continent, the other races had to submit to us. The dwarves are no exception, and there are even some dwarves who still have a crush on orcs, and those dwarves who rebel are the same group of people who have a crush on orcs. ”

He continued: "The orcs mediated disputes for the dwarves, but the ancestors of the time did not perceive that the crisis was lurking, and simply thought that the dwarves had disagreements in the forging skills, and the big tribe ruled by the dwarf king at that time was responsible for the forging of orcs weapons, and they could not be too favoritistic, so it was good to separate them. Since then, the dwarves have become two races, and the dwarves who tend to form a new tribe of our orcs will call themselves [gray dwarves], and they will naturally be under the protection of the orcs. It wasn't long before humans suddenly turned against us orcs and contacted almost every other race on the continent. They have hidden mysterious powers for a long time...... That is, the Phantom Crystal Armored Warrior, which made the orc ancestors at that time rub their hands together, suffered heavy losses, and finally lost the right to rule the continent. The gray dwarves who lost their protection disappeared, and no matter how the dwarf king searched on the continent, he didn't find any clues about them, and they seemed to disappear out of thin air, becoming an unsolved case for the ages. Unexpectedly, they were hidden in the caves of the Kundu Maya Mountains, and the spirits of the ancestors were above, and we had to report this matter to the Shaman Presbyterian Council, which was a big event. ”

Even though winter had not yet passed, and the road was dangerous, Tinga and Amosamon were a little overwhelmed, and stood up to leave immediately, reporting this earth-shattering discovery to the Shamanic Council of Elders.

Baroque lowered his head, and no one noticed his expression -- there was a deep murderous intent in his eyes!
