379.Chapter 379: So Say It
That's it, during the day, the dwarves have their own jobs, either patrolling or training, so it's difficult to get in touch with them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOnly in the afternoon, there are guys who have an early shift to come down to rest. Then he was half-forced by William to pull to the side, stuffed wine and peanuts, and then began to set close.
Although it has been said before that in recent years, dwarves have become more wary of humans, but in the final analysis, dwarves are big-mouthed creatures that have no way to keep secrets. In addition, William's wine is very strong, and the peanuts are also very crispy. So soon, the dwarf even told him about peeking at his neighbor's bath when he was eighty years old.
Of course, none of this mattered, and William really wasn't interested in the trajectory of a typical dwarf with rosacea, a big beard, and a round barrel. It didn't matter if he wanted to die, the only thing William was interested in was information he might know about the Dwarven Master's residence.
It's just a pity...... Despite the flattening of the social structure of the dwarves, there are hundreds of thousands of dwarves. Hoping to pull a random dwarf over and ask for information about the dwarven master, William's luck was not good enough to that extent.
That's it, and after a while, William smiled and watched the dwarven soldier stagger away. At the same time, I began to think in my heart. Maybe I should be a little more targeted.
Dwarven "villages" do not allow outsiders to stay too long. Two days later, William and his party had to leave.
Although it is said that after entering the interior of Rieterjod, there will be more opportunities. But the dangers encountered will naturally increase. So William thought about it, and still wanted to try his luck.
So William sent his Cheka agents to help him meet with the commander of the "village".
Although it is said that the society of dwarves is flattened. But William believed that the dwarves with higher positions would have known more information...... It's just that dwarves with higher positions are also harder to buy, just as it is taken for granted...... Although the dwarven master or something, in William's opinion, it is something to be bought.
All in all, the old routine, pour wine first and then ask questions, the dwarf commander seems to have a very strict mouth, but after drinking, the dwarf is like a bird. William soon got the information that there really weren't any dwarven masters here.
Or there are some ordinary dwarven technicians and inventors. But William wasn't sure they would be able to meet their goals.
He wants great scientists who can help him achieve world supremacy, not the waste of building a luxury cruise ship that "is absolutely impossible to sink", empty of national funds.
Therefore, William did not use the information provided by the dwarves to find the dwarven engineers in the end. It's like your own wine being drunk by a dog.
That's it, William and his party hit the road again. After spending a lot of money, he purchased what was said to be the most detailed map of the Ritjod region, and hired two local dwarves as guides.
One of the things I've said before is that Rytjord is very difficult to survive. The surface of Ritjord is cold all year round, and the north of Ritjord is in the middle of the polar region, spending half of the year in the polar night. Hardly suitable for growing any plants, the surface of Rytjod is littered with dark creatures, even the legendary dragon, Rytjod......
All in all, when most people mention Rytjode, the first thing that comes to mind is not the industrious, simple, brain-developed dwarves, but the ice and snow and the forbidden area of life here.
But.
Yes, though.
Actually, there's a little bit of a mistake here.
The world's perception of Ritjord is wrong. At least half of them are wrong.
The surface of Rieteryod is indeed very inhospitable and completely unsuitable for survival. But that doesn't mean that Ritjord's underground is the same.
Below the surface of the earth, in the rock formations several kilometers deep, the dwarves are carving out their kingdom little by little. They hollowed out the rock formations, and then carved out a large number of passages, connecting these hollowed caves with some naturally formed caves, and thus formed the unique city of the dwarves.
The heavy layers of rock keep out the raging wind and snow on the surface of Rytjord, the harsh and extreme climate, and the sheer number of dark creatures that want to eat the dwarves like canned meat...... The vast majority of the dwarves live here in peace and contentment, and live very happily.
It's closer to the ground, where the Children of the Rock can get more ore. And the stout dwarves don't seem to feel that living on the surface will be very aggrieved. These factors add up to hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer. The dwarves have built a vast, highly civilized nation just beneath the surface of Ritjord.
"I was a little surprised. After entering the hinterland of Rytjord, and then logically entering the underworld, William couldn't help but sigh like this.
If he were a humanist, he would have spent some time studying the underground culture of these dwarves. If William had been a mere conqueror, he would have thought about how to take the city and take everything for himself. Or if William were a scientist, he would have been interested in the new technologies and machines that dwarves used in their cities.
However, William was neither. He's a very purposeful guy, so at the moment, there's nothing else that can interest him except the Dwarven Master.
At least it's absolutely safe here. Well, it can't be said to be absolutely safe, but at least it is much safer than William originally imagined. William also breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived here, and even said: "If I had known that this was the case, then it seems that it is not impossible to bring Elise here." I don't know what I've been doing lately......"
......
Meanwhile.
It was when William was in Ritjord, working hard for the ethereal dwarven master, and Frisia, in William's original villa, Elise's face became more and more ugly.
"Is it true?"
I wanted to shout "Ridiculous! It's all fake!" But on second thought, Elise calmed down and just asked.
"Of course. "Opposite Elise, unexpectedly. Sitting was Victoria. Compared to the ugly Elise, Victoria's complexion is okay...... But if someone with enough insight, such as William here, then he would definitely be able to see that Victoria's heart was not as indifferent as she seemed.
"Your Majesty, it's really ...... Excellent. ”
When commenting, Elise considered it again and again, but in the end she didn't say anything harsh.
After all, the emperor was still their titular monarch. It's better not to offend - even if the guy across from her is completely on their side on this point.
"Ah, yes, it is indeed worthy of His Majesty the Emperor. "Even though it's not very nice to look at Elise...... Or rather contemptuous, but on this point, Victoria and Elise are of the same opinion.
I didn't expect it at all, I didn't expect it to use such a tactic to fight back. She originally thought that after getting William, the alliance between Russia and Briton would be on the same front in the rest of the war as a matter of course.
And yet it happened. If...... then most of the things she did before would be useless. The contest between Briton and His Majesty the Emperor will be on the same starting line for Russia. The distance between the two sides will be leveled. Then restart the game.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Victoria.
"So, can this be stopped?"
"The problem is that we don't have a reason to stop it, I mean in the sense of reason. ”
"No, there are as many reasons as there are, and the most important thing is that - that is, what His Majesty Otto thinks. ”
"Your Majesty's attitude is somewhat ambiguous. To be honest, I don't know what he thinks. Perhaps His Majesty is waiting for William's opinion. Such a big matter, both public and private, should let William know and even participate in the discussion. This is how conclusions can be drawn. ”
"Does His Majesty Otto prefer to maintain his relationship with William rather than his relationship with that Majesty?"
"It's a matter of course, and William will never allow that to happen. ”
"The problem is that William is not here now. We don't even know exactly where William is. ”
"It is clear that His Majesty intends to settle this matter in William's absence. He could not have failed to calculate William's influence on His Majesty Otto. ”
"Really...... Oops. ”
That's it, the conversation between the two of them has reached this point, and it is a little impossible to talk about it again. They all sighed in unison, and then Victoria's face became a little ugly.
"If that's the case, then will that majesty directly attack William?!"
"......" Elise's face also turned ugly - she certainly understood that Victoria's "start" was not a minor negotiation, or anything else. Rather, it is coercive, bloody, and unsightly......
"I hope William is okay. Elise thought. Immediately after, the two of them were speechless again......
Yes, the "Your Majesty" they are talking about is Kalman IV. Kalman IV's tactic of wooing Russia was to hope for a marriage with King Otto, who he wanted to marry his daughter to. That's it.
