"It's a pleasure to meet you, Elder Borok. When Solomon greeted the elder of the Black Iron Clan, Borok Black Iron, in standard Kaosan dwarven language, the latter had to express a hint of surprise at Solomon's language ability.

"I can't believe that the Terrans can speak such a beautiful native language. If it weren't for the fact that I'm sure you've never heard your name from other dwarven clans, I'd almost suspect that you're one of the few scholar-mages who maintain friendly relations with us dwarves. The Black Iron Clan Elder said.

After attending the royal council at Perth Palace, and accepting the knighthood, Solomon refused to linger for a moment, and rushed to Cecilia, for Elder Borock had already arrived.

"Mastering many languages is the foundation of every aspiring scholar and the path of a mage that I aspire to, and this little achievement is not worthy of praise from the great people of the Casting God. "Solomon's humble word.

The casting god in his mouth is Moradin, the common ancestor of the three dwarf clans of Keos, who died in the war with the High Elves, but because of the condensation of the hopes of all the dwarves, the soul did not disappear immediately, and maintained most of the sanity for a period of time, during this time, due to the worship of this ancestor by the dwarves, Moradin was freed from the half-virtual and half-real ancestral spirit state in a self-more way, and became a true god, and also obtained the soul caster, the god of casting, The patron saint of the dwarves has multiple titles.

Solomon's actions left a good first impression on the elder of the Black Iron Clan, and the other party took the initiative to communicate with him in the language of the dwarves, which seemed to respect the dwarves and satisfied Borok's vanity.

People are also very modest and speak decently, don't think that dwarves don't pay attention to these, there are some differences between the dwarves of Keos and the dwarves of the Black Rock plane, simply put, the dwarves of Keos are not only more brave and knowledgeable, but they also know what decency is, for example, their beards are very well groomed, and individual elders or dwarves who especially care for their beards will even exchange with the Terrans to buy special textiles to protect their beards (dwarves are good at casting, but they are very bad at weaving and the like).

Some of the dwarven beards on the Black Rock Plane are wrinkled like hemp, some like they have been rubbed indiscriminately by naughty children, and some look like they look stylish, but there will be something unknown on them, dry and condensed like a brush.

Therefore, although it is really difficult to distinguish the dwarves in appearance, at this moment Solomon felt that it would be easier to distinguish between Borok and the dwarves of the Black Rock Plane together.

"Alright, Elder Borok, I'll get to the point. Cecilia next to her didn't have the energy to listen to Solomon's cheeky slapping.

The dwarven language is a bit remote, but it's not that it's hard to master, it's that the mages are reluctant to take the initiative to master it.

Because obviously, dwarven language will not be directly helpful for learning magic, and its role can only be used to communicate with dwarves or understand dwarves.

"Young man, Cecilia has given us some black rocks, I wonder if you have found a very rich storage of these things?" Borok touched his head in embarrassment and asked Solomon directly.

The topic got to the point, and Solomon also got up sternly, nodded slightly, and said: "I do have information about this kind of resource storage, so I asked Cecilia ** Master to help see if I can find someone to jointly study and dig out the use." ”

"Then can you tell me that this black rock is found in Keos?" the dwarven elder frowned, and then he also realized that his words were a little wrong, and quickly added: "Don't get me wrong, we dwarves treat our friends kindly, and we will not try to steal our friends' property. Cecilia has been in contact with our Black Iron Clan for many years, and we just want to know where you have found this resource that has thin magic power in it and can be used as power fuel. Roughly, you just have to tell me if I'm from Keos, and if I'm from Keos, if I'm from Keos, if I'm from underground?"

Borok looked at Solomon a little nervously, expecting his answer.

"Elder Borock, I can answer all of your questions, but I also have questions for you, so why don't we answer each other's questions. Solomon laughed.

"Good. After a little hesitation, Borok agreed.

Solomon said with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, I can answer one of your questions first, these black rocks are not found in Keos. ”

"Not from underground?" Bojok said before he felt a little out of shape, saying that one person asked a question, and the other party said that it was not in Keos, and he asked like this, looking a little unconvinced.

So he fixed, "You can ask me." ”

Solomon nodded graciously, not minding the gaffe of the dwarven elder just now, "My question is whether these black rocks will help you dwarven machinery. ”

Borok replied, "Yes, it helps, which is why I have come from the Far West at Cecilia's invitation." In order to fly over the territory of the orcs, I had to rent a tamestid wyvern from the lizardfolk of the Swamp to get there so quickly. ”

As soon as he finished answering Solomon's question, he eagerly asked his second question, "Where do these black rocks come from?"

Borok's second question should have been asked like this, but Solomon slyly seized his previous words and directly regarded his previous words as a problem.

"From my territory, a territory on an alien plane, which I call the Black Rock Plane. Solomon continued to answer in the dwarven language.

"Your territory? Are you a noble mage with a territory among the Terrans?How is it not the same as Cecilia suing me, oh, I'm sorry, I don't think this should be our problem, but the information you just revealed I need to figure out further, because when Cecilia sued me, she only said that it was a civilian mage from the Terrans. I've got to figure that out, because if it's a product of your territory, it's different, and it's a matter of, ahem, maybe how likely we are to work together. The dwarf explained embarrassedly, but he must not allow Solomon to take advantage of him again and ask each other questions and answers.

"Hehe, Elder Borok, of course these questions you just had cannot be used as questions for us to answer each other. I'm happy to answer these questions, because when I asked Cecilia for help, I was already a Kingdom Mage, but it wasn't a prominent status, and now I'm a baron. Solomon replied.

When it comes to the Dwarven Elders, Solomon certainly wasn't completely honest.

In fact, he didn't have a real fiefdom, and the Black Rock Plane was not the real territory of Asturias so far, but a place where it was explored.

It's the equivalent of drawing a circle with a map and saying that this place is mine, but even if you can actually conquer it, there is still a process.

And Solomon got it as a pioneer, even if because it was the first batch, the royal family gave quite "favorable conditions", allowing the first successful pioneers to become governors there for life, and always have the right to open, but in the end it is not hereditary.

However, Solomon did not blush in the face of the dwarven elders, not to mention that he had been named a baron and the development of the alien plane, and also claimed that the Black Rock plane, which had not been completely destroyed, was his own territory.

Elder Borok rubbed his hands together in excitement, and then suddenly said, "Since this is the case, Master Solomon, it is better for everyone to be more direct, and stop testing each other by answering questions, I can tell my current attitude and some intentions, I hope you can do the same." ”

Solomon nodded, "Of course I hope so. ”

The next two of them spoke much more frankly, and the elder of the Black Iron Clan frankly told Solomon that the black rock had been identified by him and initially believed that it could be used as fuel to drive machinery, but for the time being, it could only be placed in a container similar to a boiler to wield it, otherwise there would be a certain chance that Solomon's fireball would explode like some black rock.

Solomon had expected this, because he was a time-traveler, and in the world he came from, mechanical civilization was far more advanced than this world, and although he was not engaged in the work of an engineer at the beginning, he was still aware of this aspect.

The mechanical civilization in this world is currently mostly in the hands of dwarves and goblins, in addition to the fact that a small number of ** masters in the human race will also dabble in alchemy reasons, and have some contact and cooperation with the excellent craftsmen of the dwarf race, which is also the reason why Cecilia has some friendship with the Black Iron Clan.

The reason why the Black Iron Clan is interested in Black Rock is very simple, although the dwarves are brave, but in terms of pure force, they are inferior to the orcs from high to low, and they are far inferior to the human race in terms of magic, and most of their research on magic is used for enchantment.

But when it comes to machinery, the dwarves have a great advantage, they are one of the earliest races to proceed from the beginning of casting to the generation and research of mechanical concepts, and because of other disadvantages, they once pinned their hopes on it a lot under the direction of Moradin.

Therefore, in terms of machinery, if the dwarves can spread their talents, although it is impossible to regain their former territory and compete with the Terrans and Orcs for hegemony again, it will definitely help them get out of their current predicament.

But the question is, of course, the question is not to ask which excavator is strong, but to ask where is the source of power for the exhibition of mechanical civilization?

Solomon traveled through the world before the first industrial revolution, and the steam was motorized with coal.

Of course, there is such a thing as coal, and it is not clear to Solomon how much it is reserved, but it is clear that the dwarves are not easy to obtain.

Why? Because they have long since been driven to the far west.
