(Chapter 64) The Ancient Oath (Ask for Follow-up!) )
Looking at the four dwarf orcs in the auditorium who were gradually walking towards him, their short bodies and thick limbs, and their rugged faces with some of the characteristics of beasts, everything was the same as it was once familiar.
Right now, Gu Fan only felt that his mood was extremely complicated, it was obviously a race that had been declared extinct thousands of years ago, but now it appeared in this kind of wild and withered land.
What's even more touching is that humans and dwarves, once the closest allies, are also one of the most brilliant civilizations in the galaxy, and now one side has an uncertain future and the other side is on the verge of extinction.
For a moment, the dwarf named Gortrek was the first to break the silence of the scene, and looked up at the vague shadow in the throne and asked.
"So you're the boss here?"
Although he was still a little jealous of the heavily armed guards in the hall, even so, there was not the slightest weakness in Gao Trek's tone.
The appearance of the other party made Gu Fan only feel very interesting, should he really be a dwarf orc, it was almost impossible to count on the threat of force to really scare them.
Their fortitude and their stubbornness are carved into their bones, like a giant hammer forged from steel, that cannot be easily broken.
After a quick review of the pronunciation characteristics of the dwarf language, Gu Fan said his first sentence to the dwarves in front of him.
"Welcome, son of the King of the Mountain."
Since the language of the dwarves is derived from the ancient rune language, the conventional mental translation method cannot accurately understand and express the meaning, which means that the translation system carried by the snow wind is not effective.
In order to be able to better communicate with these past allies, Gu Fan deliberately spent a whole day preliminarily mastering this ancient language through limited information, and by the way, he adjusted Xuefeng's vocal system overnight, so that communication with the dwarf orcs was possible.
Hearing this, Gotrek finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore.
"Who the hell are you? Why do we know the names of our ancestors? ”
Faced with the dwarven miner's question, Gu Fan just continued unhurriedly.
"I know more than that, I know that you are followers of the God of Artisans, the Eu-Messiah, and the successors of the Runemaster and the Forge Blacksmith."
"I also know the tragedy that happened to your race, the destruction of the homeland, the displacement of the survivors, and the end up here......"
"And you, Mr. Gautrek, I know everything about you, too."
Even the other party called out the names of several other dwarven miners in passing, and as he spoke, he could feel that the fiery eyes from the throne that seemed to be able to see everything were burning his soul.
"Don't be nervous, we should be friends technically."
As his words fell, the side door of the auditorium was slowly opening, and out of it came a cat-eared girl dressed in a black and white maid costume with a blue bow tied around her tail.
It was Lilim, who was pushing the food truck with wine and charcoal-grilled ant beef, and came to the dwarf orcs with a stiff smile on her face, looking tired.
Although the dwarves are very stubborn, they are very simple in some ways, and according to past experience, in order to be able to win the favor of these mountain heirs, good wine and food are naturally indispensable.
And this task was naturally given to Lilim, after fighting day and night in the kitchen, Lilim, who was so tired that she lost her hair, finally completed the goal, I have to say that this is really hard for her.
Gao Cuike and his party were obviously shocked by Gu Fan's words, which made him even more convinced that the person in front of him was the legendary evil god who played with the thread of fate.
Without waiting for the other party to react, he just listened to Gu Fan and went straight to the point and threw out his reason for inviting the other party.
"I hope to cooperate with all of you Descendants of the Mountains, and if you agree, I will ensure the eternal prosperity of the Dwarf Orc Clan in the future."
Hearing this, the leading Gotrek just snorted with disdain, such an arrogant attitude naturally made Makado feel angry, and just as he wanted to say something, Gu Fan on the side stopped him in time.
"They are important guests, and I allow their rudeness."
In the next second, I only heard Gao Trek ask with some suspicion.
"And at what cost?"
"Contribute to my nascent empire, that's all."
Who would have thought that after hearing such conditions, Gotrek would laugh out loud.
"Haha, I see, do you want the Iron Castle to submit to your empire?"
"Nope! We will not be subservient to anyone! ”
Gu Fan was not too surprised by such an answer, and could only say that the dwarf orc in front of him was more stubborn than he imagined.
However, this is quite in line with the characteristics of their family, once they decide on something, then even if they are broken, they will not easily change their minds.
"Even if you will be destroyed because of your stubbornness, and the blood of the King of the Mountains will be completely severed?"
"I don't understand why Gortrek would want to deny the only possibility of a prosperous race."
Apparently Gotrek was not easily moved by these words, but only heard him raise his voice again.
"You don't need to worry about the Iron Castle! Nothing needs to change here! We don't need the help of an evil god! ”
After that, Gotrek also glared viciously at Lilim, who was waiting by the dining car, and his fierce eyes couldn't help but make the other party furious.
Finally, this attitude made the red-robed old man Macardo unable to bear it anymore.
"Presumptuous! Do you know what great being you are talking to? ”
For a while, the situation at the scene seemed to be out of control, but Gu Fan didn't care about this at the moment, and his mind was echoing Gao Cuike's words just now for a long time.
An evil god......
This kind of evaluation made Gu Fan feel completely depressed, he didn't understand, did he look evil? Shouldn't that be......
Seeing that the negotiations were at risk of breaking down, Gu Fan had no choice but to make up his mind, and only listened to him say again unhurriedly.
"If I have a way to prove that all this is a pact I made with the King of the Mountains himself, to help his heir in times of need."
"Will you still refuse?"
The moment he heard this, he looked at the strange existence on the throne.
Gotrek was clearly shocked again.
