City of Sin: One two four real friendship

"Very good, Richard. This barrel of wine is one of the best wines I have tasted in 130 years. Although humans know that dwarves like spirits, only the wine you bring is the best. Bamore pointed to the remaining three barrels and asked: "Is there any difference between these three barrels of wine?"

Richard raised his hand and said, "Why not try it all?"

"Okay!" Bamore immediately asked the guards to open the three barrels of wine, and the elders used three rounds to drink the barrel of wine. These three barrels of wine are indeed worse than the original one, and one barrel is lighter than the other.

What did Bamore think of? Looking at Richard's eyes became brighter. He touched his thick beard and said, "Are these things you are going to trade with us?"

Richard said with a smile: "These four barrels of wine are Top Grade, High Grade, medium and ordinary. They are descendants of the great anvil. What do you think of the most ordinary wine?"

Bamore and several elders looked at each other, and one of the elders said rudely: "In fact, it is already very good. In the past, the best wine that humans have sold us is this taste."

Richard smiled more charmingly: "It is this ordinary wine, in such a barrel, the price I give is five barrels of gold coins."

"What !?" Of the eight elders, five or six elders jumped from their seats. In the past, such a barrel of wine was sold to the Dwarf Kingdom at a price of fifty gold coins. The price of Richard is completely the same as the sale.

Bamore is also extremely accident/surprise, but silent. If ordinary wines are at this price, then the prices of the other three grades need not be asked. After the elders marveled for a while, Bamore solemnly asked: "So how much wine did you bring?"

Richard smiled lightly and said: "In my logistics team, there are 20,000 barrels of ordinary grade wine."

The number "20,000 barrels!", even Bamore is moving. This batch of wine can make all the dwarves of Furnace Stronghold drink for a week.

But Richard continues to say: "There are five thousand barrels of High Grade and medium wine together. But there are only ten barrels of Top Grade spirits, which is a bonus."

The Bamore chest undulated a few times, shocked by the amount of wine, and said loudly: "Very good, Richard! Besides the wine, what else do you bring?"

This time Richard is even more simple: "grain. Barley, wheat, oats and corn, a total of 3,000 tons. This is just the first batch."

This time, Bamore jumped directly from the throne, and his voice resounded like thunder in the King ’s Hall: "Is it food?"

"Food." Richard is calm.

"Why is food?" Bamore's eyes are as bright as electricity!

"Why can't it be food?" With the beard Richard, the smile is particularly charming.

Bamore strode down the stairs, stood in front of Richard, and suddenly stretched out his arms! Richard bent down and hugged with Bamore.

The embrace of the king is a sign. At this moment, Richard is truly accepted by Furnace Kingdom dwarves.

The Furnace Stronghold is large in size, and it can hold four or five hundred thousand dwarves in it, but now it is the entire dwarf population of Furnace Kingdom. The dwarf population is sparse, mainly restricted by food. Pale Highlands has a severe cold climate and only some valleys can produce food. Since the dwarves have been driven from the plains to the barren highlands by humans, food has become the biggest problem. It wasn't until the dwarves dug deep underground that they discovered a large area of ​​natural underground caves, and then found an edible mushroom that grew on the heat of the melt, only partially solved the food problem. But even if all available caves are filled with mushrooms, they can only feed so many dwarves.

The hug of a real Saint Realm is so heavy that it makes Richard almost breathless. Finally, Bamore released his arms and said, "Richard, my friend, what do you want from the furnace dwarf?"

Regarding this issue, Richard has also been prepared, saying: "I need metal, ore, weapons and equipment produced by dwarves, muskets, and of course gunpowder."

The light flashed and laughed heartily in the eyes of Bamore said, "Richard, your appetite is really big. But this is what you deserve. With the friendship of the furnace dwarves, you will not be disappointed!"

The noble representatives are all happy, and the promise of Bamore is that almost every word is worth a box of gold coins.

At the beginning of the second North-South Line War, these nobles were also puzzled by Richard allowing logistics to bring so much wine and food as a transaction. Liquor is a traditional trade product between humans and dwarves, and a weapon used to exploit dwarves. The dwarves could hardly resist the wine made by humans. But food is different. It is bulky, difficult to transport and store, and of limited value. Many people can't figure out what this thing can be exchanged for. But the scene in front of them made the noble representatives understand the meaning of food. What it exchanges is the true friendship of the dwarves.

Richard can feel the gaze of joy, envy and admiration of the nobles behind them. This is not how far-sighted Richard is. Any patient and meticulous person, after investigating hundreds of dwarf slaves from Pale Highlands, will understand the survival status of dwarves in this land. In Human Country, there are a large number of dwarf slaves, and Bloodstained Lands has a large number of dwarf slaves captured from Pale Highlands.

It is not difficult to get information, but there are few people who want to do so.

Next, Bamore held a grand dinner to welcome Richard and his followers. Specific trade details, such as the price and quantity of traded goods, naturally have Olar with the noble representatives who are proficient in this way to discuss with the dwarf elders separately.

That night, Richard and Quicksand lived in the palace of Bamore. Nothing happened overnight. In the early morning of the next day, Liusha proposed to Bamore to visit the Holy Temple of the dwarf Shaman ancestors, in order to admire and understand the glory of the dwarf ancestors. Of course, this request was approved by Bamore. There are more than ten heroes in the history of Furnace Kingdom, each with its own deeds. Bamore is deeply proud of his ancestors, and is willing to let the ancestors' prestige spread among friends of different races.

The dwarf's Holy Temple is buried deep in the mountain's belly, a magnificent building complex, the main hall is 50 meters high, and in the center is a huge furnace, pouring hot molten iron from the furnace mouth. The molten iron is poured into the casting pool in the middle of the hall, and how much molten iron is continuously poured, but the molten metal in the casting pool is always no more and no less. Around the furnace, there are more than ten dwarf statues in various shapes. Even Richard can feel the faint aura floating on the surface of the statue, indicating that the dwarf ancestors represented by these statues have all reached the level of heroic spirits. If any statue is moved back, you can make Sacrificial Offering once.

Beside the furnace, there is a high platform. The dwarf statue on the high platform was much taller than other statues. The dwarf held up the hammer and was striking an unshaped weapon on the anvil. This statue is lifelike. When Richard's eyes fell on it, he suddenly felt that the statue was alive. both eyes turned and his eyes fell on him! Richard immediately buzzed in consciousness, as if hit by an iron hammer, and immediately shook.

Quicksand immediately blessed Richard with a Soul Protect, while Bamore grabbed a few steps and blocked it in front of Richard. Weng Sheng said: "The great anvil is not a dwarf's enemy but a friend! He not only brought good wine, but also brought a lot of food, so that the dwarves in the whole Furnace Stronghold could eat food for a long time! "

The statue of Doro Anvil that created Furnace Stronghold is on the high platform. As if you got Bamore, Richard felt that the soul pressure slowly disappeared. But what was erected here is just a statue with a trace of soul, the real temple is still deeper underground.

"It's alright, Richard!" Bamore took the hand of Richard apologetically and shook it vigorously. Then he pointed to the statue of Doro Anvil and said: "My friend, you see, the forging hammer in the hands of the great Doro Anvil and the anvil in front of him are all Divine Artifact he used in the past, and he has incredible power. Whenever we get Furnace Kingdom Rare materials, when you want to create a legendary item, you must use them to succeed. For hundreds of years, at least ten legendary items have been born on that anvil! "

Richard ’s eyes fell on the hammer and the anvil, and this time he carefully observed that he could see the obscure power fluctuations on the two Divine Artifacts. Richard moved his heart and asked: "Your Majesty, these two pieces of Divine Artifact should require very strong power and superb forging skills to use. Are there any masters in the kingdom that can fully exert their power?"

Bamore proudly replied: "Of course! There are more than one. In addition to me, the elder Broken Rock who is in charge of forging can also fully exert their power."

Richard was very happy and said, "This is really great! I have a rare Shadow Diamond in my hand and I want to embed it on something, but I cannot find a master who can process it. I think you or It is the elders of Broken Rock who should be able to embed it. "

Bamore looked serious and said, "Shadow Diamond? This thing is not easy to handle. But since it is your request, then Broken Rock and I can try our best."

Metals and inlays have always been masters of forging, especially the areas where dwarf forging masters excel. In the next half of the month, except for a few forbidden places that failed to enter, Richard went through the entire Furnace Stronghold. During this time, Bamore and Broken Rock were almost sleepless, using the Divine Artifact left by the anvil several times, and finally succeeded in mounting the two Shadow Diamonds from Richard and quicksand on a silver metal box. This box is only the size of a brick, with black as the bottom and silver trim, and the workmanship is exquisite. It is made of Top Grade's forged Black Flash Iron, incorporating a large amount of Mithril, and even made Mithril base frame and components at any cost. In this way, this box is extremely strong, but also has an excellent magical affinity. Two Shadow Diamond are inlaid on the bottom of the box, the inlay is perfect, and it is almost integrated with the whole box.
