Deep in the second mine, the Grey Dwarves built a bunker-like structure at the end of the tunnel.

In order to defend against the Dark Moon Elves in the mines, the Grey Dwarves have taken great pains.

What the Grey Dwarves didn't expect was that the Dark Moon Elves couldn't even break through the tunnel full of traps, so the bunker built by the Grey Dwarves underground has been unknown for decades.

Grey Dwarf Dasher is in charge of guarding the mines......

In normal times, he needs to maintain the traps and traps in the mines, and occasionally trade some daily necessities such as pickaxes and twine with the Darkmoon Elves and Half-Blood Elves, and the dwarves only need to take out the dried mushrooms and moss cakes they have cultivated.

Thinking of this, Dasher thought it funny.

The elves who usually only eat fruits and fish have a funny expression when they eat dried mushrooms, and they also make a clicking sound.

Dasher heard the elven rattle outside the mine, and thought that business would come to the door, and as he used to, he could exchange it for things like pickaxes and twine.

Unexpectedly, when he walked out, he found a group of Dark Moon Elves surrounding a human kid, and this human kid actually took out a jug of rum, and what made him even more angry was that the kid poured the whole pot of rum directly on the ground.

The grey dwarf Dasher was eager to pounce on him, lay down on the ground, opened his mouth, and let the human boy pour all the rum on his face.

After talking to the human boy about digging for gem ore, Dasher hung the wooden wine glass around his waist, shook off his stout short legs and ran straight back to the bunker, reporting the rum exchange for spinel ore to the elder.

……

The ceiling of the bunker hall is inlaid with a row of moonstones, and the whole hall is shrouded in a pale white fluorescence, and there is a row of long stone chairs on the wall of the room, and in the middle of the hall are two rows of long stone tables, on which are stacked with many dried mushrooms and moss cakes, and around the table are some teacups.

The dwarves sat on long stone benches, quietly listening to the rum described by Dasher.

Dasher said with emotion, and took out the wooden wine glass that Roy had given him and placed it on the table.

Some dwarves couldn't hold back the wine worms in their stomachs, so they hurriedly leaned over, and sure enough, there was still a faint aroma of ale on the glass.

I heard that the human kid gave Dasher a free glass of ale......

A group of dwarves cast envious glances at Darscher.

"Darscher, are you saying they're willing to give up the northern mines and let us dig up spinel ore without limits?"

Elder Ampton, who was sitting on the throne, pondered for a moment before asking slowly.

"Yes, Elder."

Dasher stood in the middle of the hall and replied loudly.

"Spinel for rum?" Elder Ampton squinted and ran his hand over his beard.

"Yes, Elder. I think they still have some sincerity this time! Dasher replied again.

There were more than two dozen gray dwarves sitting in the hall, and everyone was talking about it.

One of the gray dwarves named Neil stood up and shouted at the top of his voice, "Those Dark Moon Elves are a bunch of sinister villains who like to stab in the shadows, and I think they are trying to lure us out and then take the opportunity to take the bunker we have worked so hard to build." ”

The other gray dwarves nodded, thinking that Neil's words made sense.

Even Elder Ampton nodded frequently and said, "Uh...... It's possible. ”

At this time, another gray dwarf stood up and said, "Elder Ampton, why don't we just take some of the spinels in the treasure house and trade with them at the entrance of the mine, even if they have any schemes, we can turn around and escape back into the mine." ”

A group of gray dwarves immediately chimed in, "That's a good idea, I think it's worth the risk for that barrel of rum!" ”

The gray dwarves didn't want to go out on an adventure, and they didn't want to give up the rum at their fingertips, so they started the idea of the dwarven treasury.

Elder Ampton looked at the gray dwarves in the hall with expectant expressions, although he was a little reluctant to accumulate the spinels that he had managed to accumulate, but he could only agree, so he listened to him:

"Take some spinel from the treasury for rum...... This one does! But who wants to make this deal with Darscher? ”

Elder Ampton looked around at the gray dwarves.

The dwarves in the hall avoided Elder Ampton's gaze.

Elder Ampton was a little angry, and he set his eyes on the two gray dwarves at the door of the hall.

"Marando, Magdy, you two are in charge of helping Dasher deliver twenty barrels of spinel to the mouth of the mine!"

The two gray dwarves sitting at the door of the hall stood up at the same time and immediately asked loudly, "Elder, why are you our brothers?" ”

Elder Ampton snorted coldly and said, "In the past, when mining, only you two brothers contributed the least, unless you didn't drink a sip of the rum after it was brought back, and I could assign this task to the other dwarves." ”

Marandor and the Magdie brothers were a little dumbfounded, and immediately changed their tone and agreed:

"How is that possible! Let's go ...... Let's go. ”

……

Everyone knows that dragons like to collect gold, silver and jewels in dragons' dens, but the dwarves have no resistance to these glittering gems.

In this bunker, spinels have been piled up little by little in recent decades.

The spinels were polished, packed into stone troughs by the dwarves, and piled up in a stone chamber.

Dasher walked to the stone door of the vault with the keychain, and with two random stabs, the lock was opened, and the gray dwarves who followed behind pushed the stone door open, and the mountains of spinels inside glowed bright red.

The whole room was filled with the smell of magic.

Dasher crouched at the door of the treasury, put the spinel in his sack, and said to the dwarven brothers behind him:

"Fortunately, I was clever enough to change the trading location to a mine crossing, otherwise I would have taken a greater risk......"

The dwarven brothers in the back also crouched at the door of the treasure house, putting pieces of spinel in their pockets.

The gray dwarf named Marandor said to Dasher:

"I know that you Dasher usually don't like us brothers, because we are not pure gray dwarves, and you never regard us as real brothers, and any hard work is our brother's business. But this time it's different...... The three of us are now in the same trench, so we must work together to deal with those Darkmoon Elves. ”

Dasher turned his head, glared at Marando, and said angrily: "What do you say, I, Dascher, am not that kind of person, and I have never looked down on you brothers......"

The dwarf named Marando didn't continue, he changed the subject: "Magdi, I don't understand, what kind of moths are you saying that the elves are doing, obviously occupy the main veins of spinel, but they don't want to mine these ores, and in the end we have to be responsible for mining, and then exchange them with fine wine." ”

Magdie is a strong gray dwarf, but sometimes his head is tendoned, and the whole person looks a little silly.

At this time, he replied without hesitation:

"Laziness! This is definitely caused by laziness, you look at so many Darkmoon Elves in the mines, if it weren't for their laziness, how could this good thing of ore for wine fall on our heads. ”

"Digging spinel in the main veins is simply ...... It's as easy as digging potatoes in the vegetable garden, and the mere thought of those rums makes my saliva wet my beard......"

Dasher couldn't help but say, "Marando, Brother Magdie, let's hurry up and put the spinel in our pockets, and after we have it, we have to carry it to the mine." ”

The three grey dwarves carried their bags full of spinels into the tunnels, and they didn't have flatbeds, so they had to carry the spinels out one bag after another, and walked back and forth four times.

The three gray dwarves returned to the exit of the tunnel, and this time Dasher hung a lantern at the entrance of the cave.

"Do you think those Dark Moon Elves will suddenly jump out and rob us?"

The gray dwarf Ma Landuo squatted at the mouth of the mine, looked at the black hole in front of him, and couldn't help but ask.

Dasher shook his head and said, "I don't know, if they dare to do anything to us...... Let's turn around and run! ”

……

Roy didn't have to guess to know that the Grey Dwarves didn't have the guts to send spinel to the mouth of the mine.

So he had to take the Darkmoon Elves to carry a barrel of rum to the mouth of the mine, and in addition to the entire barrel of rum, this time Roy also brought a barrel of ale, a few salted fish, and a few breadfruits.

In fact, he also planned to go to the steppe in front to hunt the one-horned bison, but unfortunately his proposal was sternly rejected by the head of Kepler.

This time, Roy also brought a few wheelbarrows into the mine, so that the Darkmoon Elves could easily transport the gem ore to the mine's mouth......

When a group of Darkmoon Elves appeared at the crossing of the Gray Dwarf Mine, the brothers Marandor and Magdie saw a group of Darkmoon Elves appear in front of them, and they shouted in fright:

"Oh my god! The Dark Moon Elves are coming, hurry up and run! ”

The two gray dwarves turned and ran into the mine, and Dasher was speechless.

Roy saw the two gray dwarves turn around and run away in fright, and hurriedly shouted, "What are you running, do you want your rum." ”

"There's wine, wait...... Stop it. ”

Marando hurriedly stopped, and grabbed his good brother Magdie with his hand......

The two gray dwarves looked at Dasher with a bewildered expression, and asked humbly, "Didn't they come to rob us?" ”

Dasher pointed to the linen bag in the mine and said, "Help me get these, we're going to trade with them......"

The two grey dwarves followed Dasher, carrying the sacks full of spinel to the outside of the tunnel.

Roy walked up to Darscher and untied a linen bag, and found that the pocket was not filled with spinel ore, but further polished spinel, red and bright as fire spinel with a jelly-like color, large and small, some small pieces were only the size of a pigeon's egg, and some large pieces could be the size of an adult's fist.

The bright red color is a bit dazzling......
