Chapter 11: Orlando's Request
It's still at Old Bill's tavern, it's still that table.
It's just that there are only three dwarves on the table today, Tyklin, Lance, and Ike, and even so, it doesn't affect Teklin's interest in drinking in the slightest.
Still asking Old Bill for three glasses of golden ale, the heroic dwarf took the lead in raising his glass and shouted, "My friend, come, a toast to our acquaintance!"
Lance and Ike raised their glasses.
The thumping of wine glasses was followed by the sound of gurgling swallows.
"Ahh Belch...... It's so comfortable. ”
Tecklin belched a long wine, leaned back in his chair, took the pipe pinned to his waist, stuffed some tobacco into the pipe and lit it, and took a long puff of it.
"Ike, my brother, if you have any doubts, just ask, we dwarves have no secrets about our brothers, haha...... Come on, do another one to moisten your throat!"
Tyklin exhaled a puff of smoke with great enjoyment, and raised his glass with a stinging gesture.
"Teklin, your skin?"
After the previous competition, Ike has also seen the reason for his failure.
When he first saw Teklin, he felt that Teklin's skin was glowing with a strange metallic luster, but at the time, Ike didn't care, but after today's sword, although Ike didn't know the specific reason, it was already certain that Teklin's skin did have another mystery.
"Let me answer his question, Teklin. ”
Just as Teklin was about to open his mouth to answer, a handsome and slender fairy young man walked up to Teklin, looked at the dwarf with a wet beard with ale, and sat down without being greeted.
"Old Bill, bring me a glass of cider. ”
This is the elven youth who just commented on the analysis of Teklin and Ik's competition.
Tecklin was stunned for a moment, and then jumped for joy when he saw the person coming.
"Haha... Orlando Legolas, my dear friend, you're back, I'm so glad you're back, really, let me take a good look,"
With a completely irrepressible smile on his face, Teklin said excitedly after giving the handsome fairy youth a big bear hug.
"Orlando is back? Tell me about this experience? Well talk about your wine, even if I asked for it. ”
Old Bill enthusiastically brought the Orlando fruit wine and said familiarly.
It seems that old Bill and this handsome fairy youth are also very familiar, and there is no polite feeling of greeting guests at all.
"How many questions are you going to let me answer at once? ”
Orlando made an elegant and helpless gesture to the crowd after taking a sip of fruit wine, with a sunny smile on his handsome face, and then looked at Teklin and asked, "Why don't you introduce me to these two new friends first?"
Tecklin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said apologetically, "Hahaha...... My negligence, my negligence, this is Ike, this is Lance, are all friends that Blank brought back from outside. ”
Teclin introduced several people to each other, and after touching each other with a glass of wine, they knew each other.
Orlando told Lance and Ike some of Teklin's "so-called" secrets directly.
Metallic skins are no secret on the Kstana continent, but in order to obtain them, you have to endure a lot of pain.
Many dwarves are often burned by high temperatures when forging equipment, in order to avoid delaying the forging or affecting the effect of forging due to this burn, some dwarves who are particularly determined will invite the great wizard to integrate some special metal materials into the skin after paying a certain price.
What Teklin has is the Mithril Skin.
This precious Mithril skin is not only helpful for the dwarves in forging, but also in terms of strength.
The most direct effect is equivalent to wearing a metal armor with good defense, and it is not afraid of fire magic.
However, mages are not so easy to find, especially noble and arrogant archmages.
Finding an archmage who is willing to help the dwarves is even more difficult than gathering Mithril materials.
Luckily, Orlando Legolas was fortunate enough to know such an archmage, and they had a good relationship, so Tekrin was fortunate enough to have the help of the archmage to complete the Metal Mithril Skin Sacrifice.
"What about the Blank Guys?"
After Orlando had finished talking about these things, he asked about the fat man who loved to drink and was very treacherous.
"Ah...... Here it ......."
Teklin's position was facing the tavern door, and just as Orlando was asking, he saw a round fat man push open the tavern door and walk in.
"Orlando, it's definitely not a good thing for you kid to come back, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, what I hate the most is that you always like to talk about business while drinking, but every time I am pulled into the water by you in a daze, it's really hateful. ”
Blanc seems to dislike the elven youth very much, but in fact, they have a very deep relationship with each other.
"Old Bill, big glass of ale, you know. ”
Blank found an empty seat and sat down and beckoned to Old Bill.
"Haha...... Let's drink first today, don't talk about anything else, we won't get drunk and go home!"
Tekelin laughed and rounded.
Ever since Blank got into Orlando a few years ago because he was drunk and confused, since then, as long as Orlando is around, he Blank is determined not to get down to business.
Lance had been paying attention to him since this elf youth came in, and this handsome goblin had an aura that he was very familiar with, but when he wanted to feel it carefully, he didn't feel it.
Before Lance could continue to think about it, Orlando had already taken the initiative to raise a glass and drink with everyone......
The five of them drank in the tavern until the sun went down, and then they helped each other out of the tavern, and old Bill was a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked the tavern waiter to follow him, and sent them all the way to Teklin's residence.
Time flies by under the catalysis of alcohol, and in the blink of an eye it is already the next day.
The sun was still shining in the valley, and the warm sun was particularly comfortable on his body, and the lame Barford and a slightly wealthy middle-aged woman found Lance and Ike, thanked them and said goodbye.
According to Bafort, he was going to go with the middle-aged woman to the city where the woman's elderly parents were.
After receiving the blessings of Lance and the others, Bafort and the middle-aged woman slowly left the valley in a carriage, and the golden sun shone on the carriage, stretching the shadow of the carriage for a long time......
"More than ten days ago, he was just a poor lame beggar, but now he is lucky to find his happiness here, and I sincerely wish him well. ”
Lance felt a sense of accomplishment welling up in his heart.
Because of his good deeds, he saved a beggar who might have died in a dirty alley, which made Lance, who has a heroism complex, very proud.
"Bafort was hiding a lot from the woman. ”
Merchant Blank kindly reminded Lance and Ike, but in the eyes of Lance and Ike, everyone has their own secrets, and it doesn't matter.
At Tyklin's residence, Orlando had been talking since he woke up in the morning until Tyclin woke up from his sleep.
"My friends, I'm coming back in the hope of getting some help from you. ”
Orlando said with a smile as his gaze swept over everyone's faces.
As newcomers, Lance and Ike, who felt that they had no right to speak, looked at each other, not knowing how to react, and only looked at Blank, who they were more familiar with.
Hearing Orlando's words, Blank had an "expected" expression on his face, but he didn't say anything.
Orlando doesn't like peace like other goblins at all, he's always adventurous, and it seems that the part of human blood that runs in his blood is responsible for his unusual personality.
"Haha...... Orlando, just say it, all of you here are trustworthy brothers, as long as you need it, we will help you, you are the one who saved my Teklin's life. ”
Teklin stood up and said to Orlando with a big grin.
His words completely dissolved the silence in the room, but it would have been more appropriate if he had added the words "within his means" to his words.
"I'll tell you a little bit about my adventures during this time, and I'll probably have a few more friends coming over later. ”
Orlando didn't say what kind of help he needed first, but instead recounted some of his experiences during this time.
