Chapter 170: Enter the Dwarven Nation Deva Gon
After instructing Ligrud, who had evolved into a burly man, to arrange the details of the affairs, Rimuru became the shopkeeper, and after thinking for a while, he went to Yahara to ask about the transaction and purchase of the next world.
Goblins and toothed wolves work with great momentum, but the fact that supplies are expensive is a fact that is difficult to hide.
"Mr. Yahara, Ligerud said that there is a dwarven kingdom in the north, and we need to go there to find skilled craftsmen, do you know how to shop there?"
Dwarven kingdom Devagang?
Yahara instantly remembered the name, wondering if the gold coins he earned during the witch's journey could be used here.
"I roughly understand, but do you have currency? Is it something that is used for trading? Pretending not to know about the monster's situation, Yahara asked casually.
Rimuru's gelatinous body shook a few times, and then she pulled out a coarse cloth with seven silver coins and twenty-seven copper coins scattered inside.
"It doesn't seem like enough."
Lingyuzi stepped forward and picked up a silver coin and wiped the stain from it, which was engraved with an old man wearing a robe and holding a scepter, with a holy and solemn appearance.
Then he turned his head to look into Yahara's eyes, and frowned slightly, indicating that the currency was not connected.
"Time is pressing, why don't we go to the dwarven kingdom to investigate the situation first, maybe we can find a few craftsmen to come back." Looking at the almost naked goblins and the dilapidated houses, Yahara asked, spreading his hands.
The dwarves are a subhuman race that seems to be inherently linked to forging and has a unique advantage.
There is also a Rilun Knife and Resentful Treasure Money in his Yumi space, and it would be great if the characteristics of these two could be fused.
"No problem, I'll go to Ligerud and ask for directions later." Rimuru was in high spirits, wiggling her gelatinous body, agreeing with Yahara's proposal.
Should it be said that it is too simple, or is someone willing to come up with an idea, saving yourself the trouble of thinking about brain cells?
For some reason, the rest of the child looked at Rimuru with some pity.
There is a great river in the Great Forest of Jura called the Amedo River. After Rimuru and his party arrived here, they were ready to judge the terrain and enter the mountains, where they had the dwarven kingdom they were heading.
It is worth mentioning that not only is there an empire in the east, but there are also several countries around the Chura Forest.
The direct reason why they can coexist in peace is that they are separated by the large Cone mountain range.
As a result, the trade routes commonly used by merchants were divided into three routes.
One runs through the Great Forest of Jura, and it is recognized as the safest route among the three routes, and the distance and cost are very cheap, except for those who are unlucky enough to encounter high-level monsters.
The other is a treacherous mountain path through the Great Mountains, which is difficult and dangerous, like climbing a ladder.
Finally, there is the sea route, which has become the most unpopular route because of the cost of the foundation, and the huge monsters inhabiting the sea.
Generally speaking, the trade route that runs through the Chula Forest is the shortest and safest, but it is rarely used for unknown reasons. Almost everyone chooses to go through the treacherous mountain trails that cross the Great Mountains.
The Dwarven kingdom is located in the upper reaches of the Emmet River, in the foothills of the Konette Mountains.
The city is very beautiful, and the natural caves of the mountains are directly used to create a landscaping, which perfectly presents the combination of man and nature.
"Gobta, how do I get there?" Rimuru fell into the fluffy fur of Araya, the new leader of the Tooth Wolf Clan, and lazily asked a short, skinny goblin next to her.
According to Yahara's proposal, in order to improve the efficiency of both sides, it is best to go to the Dwarven Kingdom of Deva Gang with the least number of people.
So the group came out with only a few toothed wolves and gobits as vehicles and GPS, and the rest went back to chop wood.
"Lord Rimuru, just follow the Amira River and keep going north."
As the only goblin in the village who had ever been to Deva Gon, Gobuta was nervous and elated, and couldn't calm down at all.
On a whim, Yahara also tried to sit on the back of the toothed wolf with Rimuru, enjoying a different kind of otherworldly experience, blowing the wind and thinking about the situation in Devagang.
A strong country that has not suffered defeat in a thousand years.
The current king, Ghedra Devagon, is said to be a great hero who governed the country fairly and justly, and his name as a virtuous king has spread far and wide.
In the near future, he will be the senior brother of Rimuru in swordsmanship.
"Miss Zero, do you need to rest?" Rimuru 'rolled over' and looked up at Zero, who was flying on a broomstick sideways, surprised.
It turns out that there is really a witch lady riding a broomstick, and the posture is more elegant than I imagined!
"No, it's just that if you're in a hurry, you won't get tired so easily." Zero Yuzi smiled sweetly, compared to Miss Mirarosie's teaching, this little thing is simply... Pediatrics.
I was reminded of the real-world mantra that Yahara had taught.
......
In the case of the concentration of personnel, it took two days for Yahara and his party to arrive at Dewagang.
According to the gobta, if measured by the goblin's walking speed, it would take two months at least.
A huge door was carved out of the steep mountain wall, and there was a small entrance and exit passage below, and there were dense people like mosquitoes and ants.
The country is a free trade city and a hub for trade among ethnic groups. That's why they're absolutely neutral.
Listening to the exclamations from time to time in the crowd, Yahara also remembered more news about Deva Gang.
Except for the fanged wolves who sneaked into the shadows and waited for the summons, several people, including Rimuru, lined up at the door.
However, in order to avoid the provocative plot in the original book, Zero Yuzi kindly cast a magic called "invisibility".
Although nominally called stealth, it is actually magic that weakens the aura of creatures and reduces the sense of presence, which is perfect for crowded situations.
After successfully entering Deva Ridge, Yahara was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The metal boiler emitting gray-black smoke, the large and small metal gears rotate and pull the behemoth like a dance, eroding and showy neon lights......
Live out a steampunk-style mechanical city!
"It's so lively here." Rimuru's focus was different from that of Yahara, and it was the first time it had seen a bustling crowd after spending so much time alone in the darkness of the cavern.
Humans and monsters coexist peacefully, and the streets are harmonious and orderly.
Someday, I'll make Goblin Village such a country too!
Rimuru secretly made up her mind, her fists clenched, and she was full of motivation.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just that the talker-only Slime was frightened.
"Let's go, go find a skilled craftsman!"
