Townsend had a good memory, and he remembered that it was the second time that Sarin had said he couldn't.

Sarin seemed to have something unspeakable, and was reluctant to take the initiative to explain, but said, "When you get to Eridron, you'll know why I can't go with Thorin Oakshield." ”

Naturally, Tang Sen didn't ask.

The rest of the road was quite smooth, and by the time the sun rose overhead, the two of them were already at the foot of the Blue Mountains.

The dwarf dwarf of Turin was in a natural cavern, and Shalin led Townsend through a tunnel where torches had been lit, and a large hall appeared in front of him.

It can be clearly seen that there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere in the hall, and there are stone load-bearing columns descending from the dome and going deep into the ground of the black hole, and around the load-bearing columns, there are stairs and houses.

Ropes and minecarts could be seen up and down, cast-iron furnaces were divided everywhere, and quite a few dwarves were busy.

"Oh-"

Townsend let out a light sigh, the first time he saw the dwarf-style building complex, it was indeed a little shocking.

The temporary residence of the Durin clan was more extensive and elaborate than he had imagined, and he thought that these dwarves had just found a cave to live in... But it seems normal to think about it, after all, it has been more than a hundred years since these dwarves were driven out of the Lonely Mountain by Smaug and came to the Blue Mountains.

With the dwarves' dedication to mining and building cities, only now this scale is already very shabby.

I am afraid that this is still the dwarves who have worked tirelessly to make money, and built up little by little.

In this way, it can also be understood why Sarin said before that many dwarves think that it doesn't matter if they take root in the Blue Mountains, after all, although the life span of dwarves is very long, more than a hundred years is enough to change many people's concept of hometown.

"If you see a palace in a lonely mountain, you know what a shock is." Sarin said proudly beside him, "Eredron is not even one percent of the Lonely Mountain!" ”

"Have you seen the palace of the Lonely Mountain?" Townsend glanced at him.

"Of course not, I wasn't born when the Lonely Mountain fell." Sha Lin said: "But in my dreams, I have been to Lonely Mountain countless times. ”

He wistfully said: "The magnificent pillars as far as the eye can see, all the houses are made of the strongest fine iron, the dome is a shining jewel, like a starry sky, and gold... There is no gold in sight, even if it takes a lifetime. ”

"And a dragon sleeping in a pile of gold!" A voice suddenly interjected from the side, interrupting Sharin's dream.

Townsend looked over, and it was a dwarf, of course.

Like Sharin, the other had fiery red hair and a beard, but wore no armor, just a brown coarse cloth coat with a vegetable basket behind it and various meats inside.

"I respect Thorin, but his obsession with the treasures of the Lonely Mountain has tormented him insanely, and his adventure party will not succeed at all, and it will only bury the last bloodline of the royal family of Durin." The dwarf's voice was rougher than Salin's.

"Sharda." Shalin called out the dwarf's name, and did not mind the other man's words in the slightest, and rejoiced, and said, "Look what I am wearing!" ”

"Something that doesn't really stand as armor." Sharda said angrily, the darkness of the cave made him not notice the unique light contained in Mithril for a moment, and only shouted, "Sharin, why did you bring a human to Eridron?" ”

"Oh, this is Towndress! A traveler. Shalin hurriedly introduced: "He hired me before, but now, I have sworn allegiance to him. ”

"Oath?!" Sharda's beard stood on end, and he strode forward, pulling Shalin away, and stared back at Townsend with his eyes on fire.

"What did you do! Mankind! How dare you deceive the dwarves of the Durin clan! ”

Tang Sen frowned slightly, not interested in explaining to the irascible dwarf, just looking at Shalin.

Shalin hurriedly pulled Shalda away, took out the Mithril coin from his pocket, and stuffed it into his hand: "Look, what is this!" ”

Sharda was still angry and wanted to attack, but soon he felt that the weight of the coin in his hand was not right, and he looked closer and suddenly jumped up, and let the food in the basket behind him spill on the ground.

"This is Mithril?"

Shalin laughed and slapped the armor on his body with a crackle: "That's right! That's the commission that travelers give me! ”

"And, besides, this armor!"

"It's all said that it's not armor at all." "And, how can you swear to a human, you're- wait!" ”

His eyes widened and he froze in place.

"Mithril too?"

Seeing that Sharda finally found out, Sharin was content to enjoy the other party's shocked expression, and laughed: "Townsend is a different kind of traveler, he is from the same place as the wizard!" ”

"I will follow him, act as his escort and guide, and this time when I come back, in addition to saying goodbye, I also want to find some companions to set off with."

"Townsend has promised that he will treat everyone the same as mine!"

Sharda was stunned and asked, "Can we have Mithril Armor too?" ”

"Of course not!" Shalin rolled his eyes: "I'm talking about the Mithril coin, a coin that employs a dwarf for thirty-three days!" ”

Sharda's simple brain struggled to digest the information that Sharin said, he looked at the armor on Sharin's body, and at the same time looked at Tang Sen, who had been speechless, for a long time, and finally nodded: "I understand!" ”

"Just by swearing allegiance to you, you'll be able to earn Mithril Armor, right?" He shouted at Townwend.

"......" The corners of Townsen's mouth twitched, the dwarf's brain circuit was indeed simple and crude, he could only explain:

"I would be happy to provide my followers with the necessary equipment, including armor and weapons, but my standards are not low, and not everyone will be able to get my approval."

"Of course dwarves can!" Sharda roared, "We can smash a group of Orcs with a single hammer!" Even if it's a troll, we'll dare to smash its toes! ”

“...... This sentence feels a bit familiar. Tang Sen looked at Shalin and said helplessly, "I don't doubt the bravery of the dwarves, but I think we need some time to get along." ”

"Is the dwarven hospitality such as keeping me standing at the door? Or am I not a guest to the dwarves? ”

Under Town's reminder, Sharda finally realized this, he patted his head, and said, "Then please ask this traveler to come with me, my house is not far away." ”

"You'll have the chance to try the dwarves' special barbecue! My craftsmanship and that of Shalin are well-known in Turin! ”

He had a rare sense of humor: "Of course, the barbecue I make is full of praise, and the things my sister makes, even Oak smelled it and ran away!" ”

"Then I'll have to look forward to it." Tang Sen was polite, and suddenly reacted, he seemed to have heard some terrible information just now.

"Your... Younger sister? He stared sharply at Sharin.

"That's right, don't you notice that our hair and beard are in the same vein?" Sharda proudly patted Sharin's shoulder.

Townsend opened his mouth wide.

You tell me, this dwarf with a full beard, thick shoulders and a round waist, and can kill a wolf with a hammer, is actually a woman?

Shalin bowed his head slightly in the face of Tang Sen's shock.

Hell, Tang Sen actually saw a trace of shyness in the dwarf's rough features!
