Chapter Seventy-Four: The Jumping Gnome
Leo's head turned twice, and finally understood what the other party meant, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You are the master engineer?"
"Yes, or else?" asked Russ rhetorically.
Rado also interjected: "He is a master engineer, but I'm also fast, as long as I study for a while, I can become a master engineer!"
Leo smiled bitterly: "I take the liberty of asking, how many engineering masters are here?"
"One, how many do you want?" Russ seemed to be particularly fond of rhetorical questions. However, he didn't want Leo to answer, but said to Lado: "Go, bring these humans to my parlor, and the bicycle, and when I'm done with my work, I need to study the structure." β
"Just let us in?" Several members of the Daisy team looked at each other, and it seemed that the rumors about the dwarfs could not help but be exaggerated, but still very conservative.
After a while, the Daisy Team followed Rado through an entrance to the front of the "Bolt Core" and into the interior.
As imagined, the entire "Bolt Core" is a huge metal city, full of small rooms up and down, and countless gnomes are busy in it.
However, gnomes are much more enthusiastic than dwarves, and almost every dwarf who passes by will say a few words to them, and the most common one is what Rado has just said: "Oh my God, you are so tall!"
............
A few minutes later, in an all-metal room, Daisy Squad sat in low metal chairs and waited patiently.
Along the way, they finally learned from Rado that the "Bolt Core" had indeed moved here from the same place it had been, and that they would have continued to move if it hadn't been for the fact that the angle of the cave wall had not been calculated properly when they turned, and that the guide was currently stuck. As for where exactly it was going to move, Rado didn't know.
And the master engineer just now, Russ, is indeed the so-called "leader" of the gnomes, but it won't be long before he changes. The specific replacement process often depends on whether a new invention appears.
Seeing that Rado was planning to disassemble the bike, Leo hurriedly asked, "Why did you move the 'bolt core'?"
"I can't stay where I used to be. Rado replied absentmindedly, trying to turn the pedals with his hands.
"Why can't you stay any longer?" asked Leo.
Rado replied, "People say that the dark elves are coming, and we can't beat the dark elves, so we ran away." β
"But where are you going?" Leo continued.
"I don't know, some people want to run to the ground, some people want to run into the lava, anyway, run first. β
At this time, the door to the parlor opened. Russ shouted sharply, "RadΓ³, take your stinky hands off that thing!
"But you're not here just now. Rado said aggrievedly.
"I'm not there and you won't touch it!" Russ walked over a few steps, pushed Lado aside, crouched down and studied the bike, "Well, this transmission structure is ingenious, very ingenious!"
Seeing this scene, Barton leaned over to Leo, lowered his voice and said, "They are very interested in your invention, and it's all up to you." β
Leo smiled and nodded. He said, "Master Engineer, I want to exchange this bike for something with you." β
As he spoke, he handed over a list.
Rado glanced at the list. Clapped his hands and said, "Swap! Okay! Say, what are you doing here with us?"
Leo knows that the other party's thinking is very jumpy, but if you take him for a fool. Then you are the real fool.
After sorting out his words a little, he decided to tell the truth, "Originally, we really only wanted to trade with you, but when we passed through Ironrock Fort. The dwarves ask us to convey to you our desire for an alliance. β
"Those stoneheads are aligning themselves with us?" Russ rolled his eyes and said, "What goods did you all bring with you?"
"It's so tiring to communicate with the gnomes, and I can't guess what they're going to do next. Leo sighed secretly and motioned to Barton to introduce the goods.
Barton hurriedly opened a package that he had been carrying, and said, "We brought dried fruit, and some other things, all of which are not available in the Underworld. β
Russ picked up a slice of dried fruit, sniffed it, then threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Well, it's not bad, what do you want from us?"
"Some high-energy stoves. β
"No problem, deal!"
"......" Barton suddenly didn't know what to say, and the other party's refreshment was completely beyond his expectations.
"Now can we talk about the alliance?" asked Leo tentatively.
"Let's talk. Russ nodded without hesitation.
Leo said in the most sincere tone, "The dwarves want to join you in attacking the dark elves. β
Russ raised a thinning eyebrow, "But why are we going to attack the dark elves?"
Barton interjected puzzled, "Didn't you leave the place because of the dark elves?"
"yes, but why are we going to attack the dark elves?" Russ didn't seem to grasp the two men's meaning at all.
There was no way, Leo had no choice but to follow the temptation: "If you defeat the dark elves, you don't have to move around." β
Rado, who was on the side, suddenly raised his hands and shouted, "Russ, he has a point! I don't want to move again!"
"Shut up, you idiot! you can't beat a dark elf in ten!" Russ patted Lado on the head and looked at Leo with sharp eyes: "Just us and those stone heads, but we can't beat the dark elves, I don't want to die!"
"Of course, there are other allies. Leo patiently explained, "In the dwarves' plans, the Black Iron Dwarves of Blackstream City will also be joined, as well as a giant dragon!"
"Dragon?" Russ's eyes lit up, "Octavis, Dominina Berefort?"
"What?" Leo hadn't heard of the name.
Russ said of course, "The brass dragon closest to here, isn't she?"
"It should ...... Right. Leo felt sweat running down his head. He also thought that the dragon that the dwarves were looking for was a copper dragon or a golden dragon, but he didn't expect it to be the most difficult brass dragon.
Russ clasped her arms: "If she joins, we'll be fine, but she doesn't seem to like to fight much." β
"We'll try to say her. Leo could only reply.
"Then let's do it. Russ patted the bike, "For the sake of this thing, if you convince her, we'll join!"
"Yay! Punch the dark elves!" Rado exclaimed excitedly, glared at Russ, and hurriedly shut his mouth. (To be continued......)
