"Is this crazy to make a dwarf the president of the blacksmiths' guild?

"That's right, there are so many blacksmiths in Blackhammer Castle, is there no one who can be the president?"

"Let a dwarf point fingers at my head, I'd rather not do this job!"

The mine was renovated, the dam was completed, and after several months of steady development, everything was slowly getting back on track. And just as people were cheering for this almost perfect life, there was explosive news from the blacksmith guild that the dwarven rune blacksmith Wadrin Copperhammer, who had just arrived at Blackhammer Castle for less than half a year, had been appointed by Alves as the president of the Blacksmith Guild of Blackhammer Castle. It's really unacceptable to some people.

After more than half a year of development, the trade union system of Black Hammer Fort has matured, and each industry has its own trade union, such as stonemasons have their own stonemason union, miners have their own miners' union, textile workers have cotton spinning unions, blacksmiths have blacksmiths unions, and so on. These unions are represented in their own way, and all of them are united and have a general union, which deals with the economic affairs of the towns and towns.

The Blacksmiths' Guild is one of these unions. For more than half a year, Blackhammer has had a continuous influx of foreign populations, including the Lady of Kisley, the Norscans, and the dwarves of Dulong City. As a result, Blackhammer Fort gradually became a multi-ethnic town. The dwarves have gradually become the leaders of the blacksmith industry due to their excellent blacksmithing skills, and basically all the senior blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop are dwarves, and their apprentices are the Lady of Kithrie who lives in Blackhammer Castle. And, forever, an apprentice. Few human apprentices have ever surpassed their dwarven masters in their craft of blacksmithing.

So, gradually, the blacksmith industry was monopolized by the dwarves. In fact, it was normal for a dwarven blacksmith to be elected president of the guild. It's just that there is still a difference between an ordinary blacksmith and the president of the blacksmith guild, and the dwarven blacksmith, no matter how senior he is, is a blacksmith after all, and he cannot participate in the administrative decision-making work of Blackhammer Castle. The union president is different, he will directly participate in the administration of Black Hammer Castle, influence the promulgation and implementation of some policies, and let the dwarves enjoy such a high voice in the territory of the human race, which is the first time in the entire northern realm. It is also the reason why many people oppose it.

It's just that in the face of opposition, Alves seems to have been prepared. Generally speaking, as the head of Black Hammer Castle, he rarely comes forward on such occasions, but if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that it will cause disputes and contradictions between dwarves and humans, so Alves, the mastermind behind the scenes, has to come forward to reconcile.

"You oppose, you denounce, you rebuke...... Well, give me a reason? give me a reason why you are against Wadrin as a blacksmith guild!"

Alves stood on the stepping stone and shouted aloud to the crowd.

"He's a dwarf!"

"Yes, he's a dwarf! he shouldn't hold such an important position!"

The rioters shouted.

"Is that your reason?" said Alveston, "may I ask this compatriot who is here, what is it that gives you such a strong sense of superiority that humans must hold important positions and no other race can hold positions of one kind or another?

The civilians who took the lead did not speak. Just looking at Alves quietly, the little dwarf's words left him speechless. Indeed, Wadrin is top-notch in his blacksmithing skills, and no one in Blackhammer has yet surpassed him. As a rune blacksmith, it is already a bit condescending to be willing to come to a small place like Blackhammer Castle to forge weapons. Alves' words left his opponents speechless.

"If not, just listen to me. ”

Alves cleared his throat and continued—

"Blackhammer is a free and equal place, it embraces everything, and it accepts everything, whether you're a farmer, a fisherman, an artisan, a cook, an entertainer...... Here you are all free people. Everything you want to have must be earned by your own efforts. Look at the rich peasants who worked on the Wisenel farms, who were at first destitute, refugees from Erlengrad, who had escaped the massacre, penniless and dilapidated, and who had lent them the tools of production to the lord of Rhodes. However, after more than half a year of hard work, they have become the first group of people to get rich, and the wasteland has become fertile land, and thatched houses have become brick houses. Relying on ability to eat is the consistent proposition of Lord Rhodes. Isn't that why you're here?"

There was silence, only Alves' high-pitched voice echoed in the small square outside the blacksmith's hall.

"If you want to oppose others and become a leader in this field, first of all, you have to have your own skills. If you have the ability, a beggar can also become a president, become a knight, or even become a nobleman. It is up to you to make it happen. At first, you objected, fearing that the Norscans would become the Lord's troops, but it was this force that kept you at bay from the Beastmen. Now, Waldlin wants to be the president of the blacksmiths' guild for the same thing. Unless someone can surpass him in the professional field, who is in a position to oppose him as president? In fact, Wadrin himself may not have wanted to hold this position yet, and it was the blacksmiths who elected him to be president. And, I'm supportive of that. ”

Alves certainly supports ...... In fact, the Dwarf Wadrin also had his tacit approval to become president of the Blacksmiths' Guild. Dwarves are not like humans, and of course they are so interested in power struggles, but they are not as obsessed with power as humans.

Having Wadrin as the president of the blacksmiths' guild is actually beneficial to the development of the industry, he is a blacksmith, and a stubborn blacksmith, to say nothing. If there were other humans who wanted to make a profit in some place with him, Wadlin's character would definitely not accept it. It is impossible for him to cheat in the product and smash his reputation and signboard, and he will not allow anyone to make small moves in this industry, and dishonest people are scum in the eyes of dwarves. Therefore, there is basically no need to worry about the use of power for personal gain here in Wadlin.

In addition, the appointment of Wadrin as president was also acquiesced by Rod, which was consistent with Rod's thinking. The capable prevail, and having the dwarves as the president of the blacksmith guild is tantamount to sending a signal to all the people of Blackhammer that as long as you have the ability, you have a chance to climb up. Even a dwarf can be the president of the guild, even a dwarf can be the head of the castle, what else is impossible?
