Chapter Seventy-Two: Iron Flow City
Ironstream City sits at the foot of the Cameron Mountains, which are covered in snow and ice all year round. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThis is the largest transit city of the dwarven kingdom, like a black pearl set in the snow-capped northern frontier of the Kampa continent. The rolling Cameron Mountains are half-encircled by a dragon, and at the only opening, the dwarves have set up a majestic barrier called the Iron Gate, sealing it firmly.
Exotic merchants and adventurers who come to Kampa through the Gate of the Star Field can only travel to the rest of the Kampa Star Field through this level.
Lan Yiwen stood on the streets of Ironstream, carefully recalling the information that Queen BeyoncΓ© had told him about Redstone, and he knew that if he wanted to find Redstone, he would first have to go to Fort Glory. It's just how to get there, Lan Yiwen stayed on the street for a long time and finally decided to find a tavern to inquire about the news first, after all, the dwarves themselves are keen on hot strong alcoholic beverages.
If you want to say that the most dense in Tieliu City is naturally the equipment shops and large and small taverns. For the stocky dwarves, the best pastime after a busy day is to drink a large glass of fine liquor in the tavern, allowing every pore of the body to escape the strong smell of spirits.
Lan Yiwen casually walked into a tavern called "Chen Xiang". Pushing open the heavy pine door, there was a loud noise of people, although it was still daytime, but the tavern was already overcrowded, many stout dwarves grabbed wine glasses like small wine barrels and poured alcoholic beverages, all of them had a layer of red on their faces, and they looked a little silly.
Seeing the appearance of these drinkers, Lan Yiwen was a little at a loss for a while. He originally wanted to find a guy similar to Xiao Er to inquire about the news, but unfortunately he didn't see a guy similar to a white handkerchief after looking around. However, there was an uncle who also looked like a human race, and when he saw Lan Yiwen's looking around, he became curious and beckoned him to sit down.
The uncle had three layers inside, and the outer three layers wrapped himself tightly, revealing only an old face that looked like a Westerner, and his brown skin was covered with fine wrinkles that looked as if he had been weathered, and he casually tucked the white linen scarf, revealing his stubble chin, and greeted Lan Yiwen warmly. "Hey, young man, why don't you sit down and have a drink while you've been standing there, the dwarves' liquor is as famous as their weapons. It's cold enough in this place, and you can't warm up without a drink. β
Lan Yiwen happened to not know where to start, and seeing that the uncle was also very enthusiastic, he pushed the boat and sat down as he said.
"It's damn cold, you can call me Lan Yiwen. Lan Yiwen followed his words and said hello.
"Aunt Parry, give this little guy a glass of snakeberry wine. Seeing Lan Yiwen sit down, the uncle burst into a burst of hearty laughter, he twisted his body to the bar and beckoned to the female dwarf behind the bar.
"Young man, you can call me Joseph, I don't think you look like a merchant or an adventurer. You look like you're from the Siamese Empire. β
"Siamese Empire?" Lan Yiwen was stunned, this was a person who regarded himself as the Azure Star Domain.
"Hehe, it's not hard to guess this? You can't hide your appearance. Seeing Lan Yiwen's appearance, Joseph thought that he was surprised that he had said it.
"Not because of that. Lan Yiwen mistook this identity by mistake. "Just curious how you know I'm not here to do business or be an adventurer. β
"Seeing that you look so thin, you should be the young master from everyone. You must know that Fort of Glory is the largest weapon customization city in the Kampa Star Domain, and many people like you go to Fort Glory to buy a tailor-made magic weapon. Joseph looked surprised.
"Weapons? Of course not, I'm looking for someone. β
"Oh, then, you can follow my caravan, but our caravan is going through the Cameron Mountains, so you have old York's permission to go. He is our guide. As he spoke, the Terran uncle pointed with his thumb to a dwarf behind him who was drinking.
Listening to Joseph's words, Lan Yiwen was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that there would be progress so quickly. He followed his thumb to look at the dwarf, in Lan Yiwen's eyes, the dwarf all looked the same, with a thick beard, a big red nose, a short figure, and a tight armor. And, of course, the ever-coveted blackjack. If you really want to be different, it's probably their neatly groomed beard. It was evident that the old Yorke was a veteran warrior, and the huge plate axe was placed in an easy place to grasp, and although he was in the city, he still maintained a high level of vigilance.
Lan Yiwen picked up his wine glass and sat down beside Old York, but was interrupted before he could speak.
"Little one, you want to follow us to Fort Glory?"
"Ugh. Lan Yiwen prepared a stomach and held it back.
Looking at Lan Yiwen's stunned appearance, the old dwarf burst into laughter: "Old York is the best warrior, and he doesn't have his ears back." But a little guy like you can't stand the test of the Cameron Mountains, so let's see if there are any ordinary merchants. β
Hearing the old dwarf's words, Lan Yiwen's face couldn't help but change a few times, and he turned his head to shout to Aunt Parry behind the bar like Joseph did just now: "Aunt Parry, bring me two glasses of the strongest wine, let me and Old York have a good drink." β
Hearing Lan Yiwen's words, the noise in the tavern turned out to be quiet.
"Oh my God, this Terran boy wants to challenge Old York, and he uses the strongest wine!"
"Where's the little one, hey, Joseph, is this the young man you brought in? β
Joseph shrugged his shoulders when he heard the ridicule of other people and said that he didn't know, in fact, he asked Lan Yiwen to find Old York, and he also had some difficulty and retreated, Lan Yiwen is a rich boy who has seen a lot of things, and many of them are empty and enthusiastic, and when he heard that Fort Glory has many divine weapons, he ran over regardless of it, although this Kampa Star Field is the territory of the dwarves, but it is not completely safe, and the dwarves, as a famous fighting race, are they sharpened in the greenhouse? If nothing else, let's just say that the sulfide swamp outside the Iron Gate Checkpoint is enough for a person to drink a pot.
But instead of going out and dying, it's better to get drunk at Old York, and maybe when he wakes up, he'll know that the world is hard.
"Oh, you're such a daring boy. Old York looked at Lan Yiwen curiously, "You dare to fight with Old York, but let's see if you really have two brushes, or if you are simply stupid, if you can drink a glass of "Hellmelt" and still be sober, I will let you follow us." β
Hearing Old York's promise, Lan Yiwen was also relieved, he finally had a chance, but he was just going to invite him to drink a glass of wine, how could it become a spell of wine, didn't they all say that dwarves like to drink spirits. And what the hell is that "hell molten fire", can't it really be underground magma, Lan Yiwen couldn't help but think of the earth fire lava under the Water Tribe Palace, that thing can't be easily entered.
When the "Hell Molten Fire" was brought up by Aunt Parry, Lan Yiwen felt that he was too worried, this "Hell Molten Fire" was really just wine, but he didn't know how this wine was made, this wine looked fiery red and kept tumbling and really had a magma feeling.
"Come on, lad, try the famous 'Hellmelt' and see if you are qualified to conquer the Cameron Mountains. As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and looked at Lan Yiwen.
Whew, let's die, Lan Yiwen could smell the strong smell of alcohol from afar, he picked up this mini keg and touched the glass with Old York's playful smile, and then drank it all.
When the fiery red liquor entered his throat, Lan Yiwen's first reaction was that he was still reckless. He only felt as if he had really swallowed the lava from hell, burning his throat, and it felt like he had swallowed a steel knife alive, scraping his throat fiercely, and for a moment Lan Yiwen wondered if he was about to vomit blood.
When the "Hellmelt" fell into his stomach, he felt a hot breath rushing to his head, as if a volcano had erupted in his stomach.
Uh, Lan Yiwen only felt a blur in front of him, and the big dwarf sitting opposite him was a little ghosted, and a wave of dizziness hit his brain like a tidal wave, and just when he was trying to keep himself from falling, the star cluster in his chest actually reacted again. The green planet flashed with green light slightly, and circles of emerald green starlight escaped, and the strong breath of life went straight to his brain as if he had a goal, which made Lan Yiwen's mind clear.
Seeing Lan Yiwen wipe out the "Hell Molten Fire", the people in the tavern were stunned, and then a strange smile appeared on their faces. This "Hell Molten Fire" is made from a fruit called Hell Berry in the extremely hot land of the Great Rift, and when you drink it in your stomach, it is like lava piercing your intestines, and even an ogre like Lan Yiwen can't stand it. Even old York had to take small sips and drink it slowly.
Looking at Lan Yiwen's flushed face that was instantly swollen, the diners who watched the joke all had expressions that were really like this. Joseph couldn't bear to look at it, he was afraid that he would be drunk for seven days and seven nights like Lan Yiwen, and he was really a reckless boy, so that he could experience the "danger" of the outside world as soon as possible.
"What a funny boy. Old York slowly drank the "infernal lava" from his glass, feeling the pleasure of the fiery lava passing through his throat.
Looking at Lan Yiwen, who lowered his head on the other side, Old York slammed the cup on the table, "Okay, Joseph, settle this kid, it's time for us to go on our way." Old York grabbed the huge axe that was propped aside and was about to leave, but a clear voice came to his ears.
"Wait. The voice was exceptionally clear
Old York was a little surprised, he looked for the sound and looked over, and met Lan Yiwen's eyes that were as deep and dark as night.
