Chapter Seventy-One: The Helpless Great Forger
Barton hurriedly said: "It's just that it just happened, a little effort, don't take it to heart." ”
The old dwarf smiled, "If I'm wrong, you want to trade with us with the contents of the carriage, right?"
"Yes, we brought with us a lot of spirits, as well as food to make them. ”
"Spirits, I can't remember the last time I drank spirits. "And what do you want from us?" the old dwarf said, "then?"
Barton didn't expect the other party to get straight to the point, but it was in line with his heart, and he replied, "We'd like to get some weapons." ”
Hearing him say this, the old dwarf frowned: "This is a bit difficult, mining has become more and more difficult recently, and we are almost unable to supply even the tools we use." ”
Barton didn't believe the other party's statement, and at the same time scolded the old fox in his heart, the transaction has not started yet, and this is about to bargain.
Dwarves may lack everything here, but they will not lack metal.
From the moment he entered the gate, the Iron Rock Fort was filled with metal artifacts, and even under his own buttocks, there was an all-metal table and chair.
Sensing the change in Barton's feelings, the old dwarf smiled bitterly and said, "I think you may have misunderstood. You risked a lot of danger to enter the Iron Rock Fort, you definitely don't want to just get some ordinary weapons, right?"
Before Barton could speak, Bailey preemptively said, "yes, we want to get some high-quality weapons. ”
"High-quality weapons, we actually have some in stock here, but can you accept short weapons for dwarves?" asked the old dwarf.
"This ......," Bailey scratched his head and said honestly, "Actually, we want to get some two-handed swords suitable for human use. ”
"That's it, we dwarves don't fool our friends, especially those who have helped us, so we can only forge the two-handed sword you asked for. The old dwarf sighed. "But you don't know, the situation in the underground world has been a bit chaotic lately, and several mines have been attacked, especially a Mithril vein, which has been taken by an army sent by the dark elves. Without Mithril, there would be no high-quality weapons, and we wouldn't be able to. ”
"Mithril, you mean that precious channeling metal, Mithril?" Bailey hurriedly asked.
The old dwarf replied, "Yes, this metal is indispensable for high-quality weapons. ”
Bailey was puzzled: "Then why don't you counterattack back?"
The old dwarf shook his head helplessly: "Of course we want to counterattack back. But in the battle to protect the Mithril veins, we sacrificed seventy-eight lives, and we were all the best lads, but there were so many enemies that it seemed like we could never finish killing, and we finally had to give up completely. ”
"How can this be......" Barton was dumbfounded. He thought that this time the action was quite smooth, but he didn't expect that something went wrong at the last moment.
However, Leo thought of another possibility, whether the dark elves snatched the mines in order to make weapons in large quantities. What about logistics for a long-term offensive?
Jenny next to her blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Can't you refurnace the existing high-quality weapons?"
As soon as the words fell, Bud immediately scolded: "Jenny, don't talk nonsense!"
"It doesn't matter. The old dwarf waved his hand. "Little human girl, you may not know that for us dwarves, every weapon is a gift from the Lord of Forging. It is not possible to remelt. ”
"Sorry, I really don't know. Jenny stuck out her tongue cutely and took a step back to hide behind her sister.
At this time. Leo, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, "The enemy is not just the dark elves, right?"
A cold color flashed in the old dwarf's eyes: "That's right, goblins, bearmen, spiritsuckers, lizardmen, gnolls, and even some earth dragons have all joined the camp of the dark elves. If the lads read it right, there seem to be some humans. ”
Leo couldn't help but groan, "Darkmoon Church......"
At the mention of this, the old dwarf suddenly became excited: "It's the Dark Moon Church! This damn church that suddenly appeared completely upset the balance of the underground world!"
"What do you know about this church, can you sue me?"
Along the way, the uneasiness in Leo's heart became stronger and stronger. It seems that the Darkmoon Church is expanding at an incredible rate, and it may not be long before it becomes a complete behemoth. With this, the number of believers will increase, and the other gods will be subdued, and the goddess of the dark moon will also change and strengthen.
The Great Forge replied, "I don't know much. We have captured a few captives, all of whom are only the lowest believers and do not know the inside story, but their beliefs are very strong, and most of them resist desperately. ”
"Why don't you look for allies like they do?" Erdman's usual expressionless face, "As far as I know, there are also its crypt dwarven city-states, black iron dwarves, numerous gnomes, and some kind metal dragons?"
The old dwarf opened his mouth, but said nothing. But everyone could see that he was talking and stopping.
Muraton gasped for a few breaths, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Although I grew up in the human world, I will always have the blood of the mountain dwarves flowing in my body! Brother underground, respected great forger, if you need my help, please don't be polite!"
Barton hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, "Yes, although we are here for trade and our strength is very limited, we are still very happy to help you. ”
After being a mercenary for so many years, this strong man has long developed a pair of vicious eyes and a delicate mind.
Dwarves are notoriously loyal, and as long as they are genuinely friends, they never have to worry about being betrayed, instead, they will share everything they have with their friends. If the other party really asks the Daisy Squad to do something, then the reward will definitely be extremely rich.
Although the old dwarf said that there was a shortage of weapons now, Barton believed that in the dwarves' arsenal, there would definitely be some priceless weapons that could be ignored by their style and regulations, and that they could crush a powerful legendary weapon just because of their quality!
As long as you get those weapons, even if they are short weapons, you still don't have to worry about not having a market. Of course, in the end, the decision to help the dwarves is still in his own hands, and if it is too difficult, Barton will not risk his own life.
However, the old dwarf did not respond immediately, but smiled and said, "Friends on the ground, you have made the trek to Ironrock Castle, it is better to go to the inn to rest first, and then we will talk about the details of the transaction." (To be continued......)
