Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Arrogant Elf
After returning to the cemetery, Han Shuo didn't stay long before heading to the village where the dwarves lived. When it was almost dark, Han Shuo finally arrived at the village where the dwarves lived.
Bennett, these dwarves still seemed very enthusiastic, as soon as Han Shuo came over, some dwarves took out a few delicacies for Han Shuo to taste, and the fruit wine brewed by the secret method filled the wine glass in front of Han Shuo early.
"You haven't been here Han for a few days, how are you doing lately?" Bennett looked at Han Shuo and said.
"Thank you for your concern, I've been doing well lately, and this time I'm here to bring you the food I promised you. As Han Shuo spoke, he took out bags of grain from the spatial ring, both some wheat and a lot of milk bread, including some pickled pieces of meat.
"Oh, my amazing friend, our whole village will be grateful for your favor. Bennett saw that as Han Shuo's spatial ring couldn't stop shining, so much food suddenly appeared on the ground, which made Bennet, who had already felt that things weren't going well recently, immediately excited, and immediately exhaled softly.
Some dwarven women and children not far away, who also put down their work, suddenly gathered here with cheers, and hugged each other in tears to celebrate.
Seeing these grains make these dwarves so excited, Han Shuo knew in his heart that their life must not be too good, and it should be a torment for them every winter. But this time, because of Han Shuo's appearance, the dwarves didn't have to continue to worry about their livelihoods.
Chief Calvin, a young man with some other dwarves, was coming from the forge. Seeing the excited cheers here, he was a little surprised, and it wasn't until he got close and saw the grain piled up on the ground that he thanked Han Shuo very ceremoniously.
"Elder, these foods are just the first batch, and my spatial ring can only store so much at a time. I think as long as I run a few more times, I should be able to bring all the food you need, don't worry, elder, I will send the next batch of food as soon as possible, I don't think you will have to worry about food this winter. After Han Shuo humbly returned the salute, he explained with a smile at Calvin.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the village, and then the dwarves standing guard outside the village came over with a few elves. These elves wore elaborately patterned clothes, skulls woven from flowers and branches, and held bows and arrows or magic wands in their hands, all of them handsome and beautiful.
"Dear dwarven friends, we have brought beautiful gems for the weapons you forged. We will use those weapons to help you drive away all the greedy ogres around you, are you willing to sell those weapons to us?" The first young elf said politely, he was carrying a green bow and arrow, and from the bow and arrow came a faint magic fluctuation, it seemed that it was still a magic weapon, which made Han Shuo very curious.
"I'm sorry Bennett, I think I've made it clear enough. We will never give you these weapons that we have built, and no matter how much you pay for something, we are not interested. Calvin shook his head and simply rejected the young elf Bennett.
As soon as this sentence came out, Bennett looked very annoyed, and said anxiously: "Why, I know that there are only more than a hundred dwarves in your village, but there are more than a hundred weapons you have built recently, and you can't use them yourself. The weapon mixed with black iron ore is forged in the hands of you dwarves, and if we elves bless the magic, it can form a more powerful magic weapon, why don't you use it and don't want to exchange it for us, so that the price we pay is not enough?"
"Because these weapons were forged by us for our best friend Han, and some fruit wine was brought to Han. So I'm sorry Bennett, but I don't think we can trade these weapons to you just for the gems. Calvin firmly apologized to Bennett, then turned to Bennett and shouted, "Bennett, you take them, take the weapons we built, and let Han take them all today." ”
"Got the village chief. Bennet replied very heartily, and then led a few young dwarves to the forge happily, about the gem temptation of these elves, the dwarves did not pay attention to it at all.
"Excuse me, is he the one you call Han? Humans are the most despicable and evil race in the Dark Forest, you are actually unwilling to cooperate with the messenger of nature, but are willing to choose to trust a human being, Elder Calvin, you can't do this!" Bennett immediately complained with infinite grievances as soon as he saw Calvin pointing at Han Shuo and asked Bennett to hand over all the weapons they had built to Han Shuo.
"Han is different from other humans, we trust him, we help each other, so I'm so sorry Bennett, I don't think we can exchange these weapons for you. Calvin was unfazed by Bennett's complaints, and stubbornly spoke.
The last time he left the dwarven village, Han Shuo hadn't thought of exchanging food for the dwarves' weapons, but these dwarves were willing to collect Han Shuo's food because of this. Unexpectedly, not long after, some elves were eyeing this batch of weapons mixed with black iron ore and forged by the dwarves, but to Han Shuo's surprise, these dwarves seemed to have repeatedly rejected Bennett's exchange pleas, and had kept the weapons firmly for him.
"Elder, in fact, you can make your own decisions about these weapons, and I don't want to covet these weapons for you by giving you these foods. Han Shuo thought for a moment and explained to Calvin sincerely.
Nodding, Calvin smiled and said, "Han, you don't need to explain, we know your kindness, but we can't accept your things for no reason." Our dwarves' ancestral teachings tell us that anything needs to be exchanged for our own efforts, and if we accept your things directly, it will be against our ancestors, and it will also bring a bad atmosphere to the village, so I think you should understand what I mean. ”
While Han Shuo was talking to Calvin, Bennett had already brought more than a dozen weapons with some dwarves. There are swords, spears, heavy hammers, double-edged axes, and various weapons, all of which are brand new and bright, and the heavy-hammer double-edged axes give people a thick and heavy feeling, and the blades of some swords and spears are cold and sharp.
Bennett and his party, after seeing these weapons appear, their eyes lit up with excitement. However, in the midst of their inexplicable excitement, Han Shuo sighed helplessly, and opened his mouth to say, "Since the elder said so, then I can only reluctantly accept it." ”
As soon as the words fell, under the greedy gaze of several elves in Bennett, these more than a dozen weapons mixed with black iron ore and forged by dwarven masters fell into Han Shuo's spatial ring one by one.
"This human friend, I don't know if you can exchange these weapons forged by the dwarves for us, and recently we are preparing a big battle to combat the arrogance of the forest trolls. If we have these weapons, if the elders of our elves are blessed with magic, they can directly become powerful magic weapons, so that the strength of some of our masters can be greatly improved, and we are willing to exchange them with gems with you, what do you think?" Bennett saw Han Shuo take back the weapons one by one, his eyes flashed with loss, and then he thought for a while, and suddenly felt that it seemed easier to exchange with Han Shuo, and immediately said to Han Shuo excitedly.
"Humans are a despicable and evil race, how can you noble elves be willing to trade with a despicable and evil race like ours?" Han Shuowei looked at Bennett with a strange smile, blocking him with what he had just said.
"In order to make the price for the more greedy and shameless forest trolls, our noble elves are willing to make some concessions, allowing you, a human, to trade items with us. To Han Shuo's surprise, Bennett didn't seem to hear the strong sarcasm in Han Shuo's words at all, but instead showed his magnanimity there very self-righteously.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in making any deal with you noble elves!" Han Shuo felt a little ridiculous, and finally realized the arrogance of the elves, and couldn't help but shake his head and refuse to say.
As soon as these words fell, Han Shuo suddenly heard the sound of various tree branches breaking in the distance, as if there were many people approaching here, and before Bennett could speak, Han Shuo frowned and asked, "Did you have another group of elves coming over this time?"
"No, it's just a few of us, what's going on?" asked Bennett, surprised.
With a movement in his heart, the three Yuan Demons suddenly burst out and disappeared outside the village in three directions. It was only a moment when Han Shuo used his vision with the Yuan Demon to see a dense crowd of five or six hundred forest trolls, and they were rushing towards this side.
The leader of the forest troll that Han Shuo had encountered before was now flattering to another forest troll who was even more sturdy, seeing that this forest troll's identity was even more noble, which made Han Shuo understand that this time he was afraid that there would be big trouble.
