Chapter 705: Dwarven Relic

"Your Excellency, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you only hire Pei Di's group of weak guys and not us? Don't you look down on the craftsmanship of our Huiyan clan?" Hasge heard the news.

Another way the mountain dwarves differ from the swarms and mushroommen is that they are more united, although like the swarms they are scattered around the City of Shadows in several villages.

But nominally they are a clan - Limestone.

Hasge is their common patriarch.

This guy is a typical mountain dwarf with a smelly mouth, impulsive temper, and the kind who admits to death. He can annoy people in minutes and want to kill him.

But if he could get his approval, he would become the most forthright and enthusiastic person again, so there was no need to worry about him stabbing a knife in the back.

His temperament determined that he would not bother to do such a thing, even if he was stabbed with a knife, he would hit him head-on with a hammer.

"Isn't the finale all at the end? It's not that I look down on you, on the contrary, it is precisely because I look up to you that I have to hire you with a big gift. I sent someone from the territory to have a taste." Sean said from The steel golem took a jug of spirits in its hand and opened it directly in front of Hasger.

"This is? The legendary spirit? What a unique fragrance!" Hasge's eyes widened, staring at the wine jar in Sean's hand.

Dwarves drink alcohol.

That's famous.

This is recorded in all the books that mention dwarves.

When visiting the village of the mountain dwarves, Sean also felt this, because the statue of the god of forging they believed in was a hammer in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.

But the problem is that in the dwarven villages of the City of Shadows, spirits are a legendary drink. Many people have never drank a drop of wine in their entire lives, and only listen to the legends of their ancestors.

Sean doesn't know whether mushrooms can make wine.

At least no one in Shadow City has mastered this technology, nor has the resources to try it.

Mushrooms are their mainstay food, and they can’t eat enough to grow them desperately. They must formulate strict family planning, let alone use a large number of mushrooms to make wine.

Wine is definitely the most expensive luxury in areas where food production is scarce.

After learning the news, Sean naturally targeted their preferences.

"Taste it." Sean didn't say much, and directly threw the opened wine bottle to Hasger.

"Be careful." Hasge's eyeballs almost popped out, and he was taller than himself, and he firmly took the wine bottle in his hand, holding it in his hand as if holding a holy object, and put it next to the big nose, deeply He took a breath and said, "This is the legendary aroma of wine. I never thought I could smell it in my lifetime. My father's greatest last wish was to taste the legendary dwarven ale."

"The dwarven ale you mentioned should be in the category of beer. I didn't bring it this time. What you have in your hand is spirits. It's a high-strength spirit that has been repeatedly purified. It's 75 degrees. It can be used as alcohol. It's the first time to drink it. It's recommended to drink it Just take a sip." Sean reminded.

But he was still a little late.

After being sentimental for a while, Hasger raised his neck very boldly, and gulped down a big gulp.

"Hiss!" Lei Tuo next to him gasped.

He is very clear about the concept of seventy-five-degree spirits, and he will definitely drink it once and never forget it.

He was tricked by someone half a year ago, and he took a small sip, and the feeling that his stomach and intestines burned together is still fresh in his memory.

It's the first time he's seen someone like Haggs, who doesn't make any blending, just a mouthful.

"Hiss!" It was Haggs who gasped this time.

The eyeballs of the whole person are like toads, bulging outwards.

He wanted to spit out the unfinished spirits, but he was reluctant. To him, this was like a sacred object.

But the part that goes down the stomach has already started to burn, and it burns wherever it goes.

After only a few seconds, Haggs felt that the stomach in his stomach was no longer his own.

It took four or five seconds before Haggs swallowed all the spirits in his mouth.

"What a man! He is bold!" Sean gave Haggs a thumbs up. No barbarian in Kentana dared to drink the original brew so boldly.

"Refreshing, this is the taste of strong wine...? It is even more magical than the legends." Hasge said with a blushing face while exhaling.

Because the wine was too strong, his tongue was obviously a little numb, and he couldn't speak clearly.

Although Hasger had never drunk a drop of alcohol in his life, he fell in love with the burning smell just from the first sip. No, he fell in love with it from the moment he smelled the fragrance. The muscles all over his body seemed to be They were all cheering, injected with a new kind of vitality, and their brains seemed to be spinning faster than usual.

It seems that the dwarves' alcoholism has been etched into their bodies as a gene.

"Go, go, go, I want to tell the good news to the whole clan. The lord has brought us the legendary drink." Hasge couldn't wait to drag Sean into it, and his tongue seemed to be a little bit used to it. , couldn't help pointing the wine bottle to his mouth again.

This time I learned to be smart, and I didn't dare to drink too much, so I took a sip and let out a satisfied sigh.

That appearance, no matter how you look at it, looks like an old wine worm who has been drinking for many years. It is completely unimaginable that he had never tasted the taste of wine a minute ago.

"Good news, good news, the lord from outside brought spirits, legendary spirits, and invited everyone to taste them together, and everyone gathered in the square."

"The quantity of spirits is limited, if you go late, it will be gone, go, go."

"What a unique smell. Could this be the smell of the legendary spirits? You can smell it from such a distance. Come on, hurry up and have a look."

Sean far underestimated the temptation of spirits to the mountain dwarves. With a burst of gongs and drums, the underground square of the not-so-large dwarf village was soon crowded with people. More people are on their way.

When talking about spirits, they inevitably use the sacred word.

Looking at the spirits, it's like going on a pilgrimage.

Especially when drinking spirits, it is like drinking holy goods.

Xiao En couldn't help but wonder, what they airlifted this time wasn't ordinary original wine? But some kind of legendary drink?

But if you think about it in your shoes, it's not surprising that the mountain dwarves have this situation.

If they had enough wine before they migrated here, and the wine culture was very popular, after the break here, the old people have been whispering in the ears of the young people, which will inevitably make them yearn for it. After a long time, it will naturally be sanctified by legends. .

Due to the fact that there were too many mountain dwarves who came here after hearing the news, they couldn't even take a sip of the drinks that Xiao En brought.

Fortunately, he has rich experience in dealing with these drinkable races, so he didn't transport undrinkable ale and low-alcohol spirits, and all the steel golems brought over were such high-alcohol brews.

While letting people boil several pots of mushroom soup, they used magic techniques to condense several buckets of water into ice, and blended them on the spot.

Adult male mountain dwarves were allotted a glass of schnapps on the rocks.

The female mountain dwarves and children shared a bowl of strong wine and mushroom soup.

Needless to say, iced spirits, the perfect blend of ice and fire, conquered those male mountain dwarves on the spot, and many of them were even moved to tears, shouting that this life has no regrets, and finally tasted the legendary spirits , Even if he returned to the arms of the God of Forging, he would not be ashamed to face the dwarven ancestors.

Strong wine and mushroom soup is an out-and-out Xiao En’s new dark cuisine. Based on the principle that it’s better than adding water on the spot, I didn’t expect it to be very appetizing to those mountain dwarves, women, children and children. They all drank it full of praise .

Later, when Sean learned more about the history of the mountain dwarves, he realized that this practice is not considered dark cuisine among the dwarves. In the years when the wine was relatively abundant, when those mountain dwarf women cooked meals, they only needed to bring soup. , It is bound to add expensive spirits as condiments.

Sometimes it is not uncommon to directly replace water with low-alcohol wine.

Strong wine and mushroom soup is just a normal dwarven dish.

Seeing how satisfied they were drinking the mushroom soup, even Lei Zhe looked curious, and couldn't help but said, "Can you get me a bowl too."

Without further ado, Sean brought Lei Zhe a big soup bowl full, and asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"

Because he is also very curious, but limited by the energy avatar, he has no way to taste it himself,

"(⊙o⊙)..." After taking a mouthful, Lei Zhe's face wrinkled into a ball, and the appearance similar to Hasig's, wanting to vomit but not daring to vomit reappeared on his body, and it took a few seconds to finish After swallowing it, he quickly turned his head and took a sip of water before replying, "The taste is quite unique, I have never tasted such a unique taste before."

His expression and tone have perfectly answered Sean's question.

This is still a dark cuisine, the appetite of the Heshan dwarves, but it does not suit the appetite of other people.

If the mountain dwarves have enough drinks, it can also be attributed to living habits.

This situation can only be attributed to the structure of their taste buds and intestines, which are different from ordinary people.

"You have to drink it up after catching it, and they are still watching! They are the best blacksmiths here, and all the metal products in the mage tower have to fall on them." Sean's smile was obviously mischievous. ingredients.

Curiosity often comes at a price.

It is pain to pay the price yourself, and it is a pleasure to pay the price for others.

Lei Zhe looked down, and as expected, many mountain dwarves who had already finished their portion of mushroom soup with iced spirits and spirits were looking at him eagerly, unable to tell if they were urging him to drink quickly, or to The bowl of strong wine and mushroom soup in his hand.

Lei Zhe knew that if he poured out this bowl of strong wine and mushroom soup in front of these mountain dwarves, even if he was not killed, his reputation among these people would fall to the bottom, and he wanted to win back their love in the future Favorability will be very difficult, which will naturally affect future work scheduling.

Deliberately sending out strong wine and mushroom soup, but not sure about their living customs, whether it will be regarded as a rude act, after all, I have just taken a sip from the bowl.

Stretching out the head and slashing the head is also a slash, so let's just have a good time.

Lei Zhe's heart froze, he closed his eyes, and raised his head, with the appearance of a warrior gone forever.

Boom, drank the strong wine and mushroom soup in one gulp.

"Okay, refreshing."

"That's how wine should be drunk."

"To our temper."

"We've been friends ever since."

Seeing this move, the mountain dwarves praised Lei Zhe one after another, and the eyes they looked at Lei Zhe were obviously much softer.

The mountain dwarf, who was usually as dull as a pile of rocks, had a great change in temperament immediately after drinking a glass of iced spirits, and became more enthusiastic and talkative.

"Would you like another bowl?" Sean next to him couldn't help teasing.

Lei Zhe's face changed slightly, and he shook his head again and again: "Thank you, no need, one bowl of this kind of good stuff is enough, and there are so many brothers from the Huiyan tribe who haven't tasted the taste of spirits yet, let them Let's wait until there are more spirits shipped over in the future, and it won't be too late to taste them."

The impatient Lei Zhe came up with perfect excuses.

"That's right." Seeing that the mountain dwarf had developed a certain affection for Lei Zhe, Xiao En didn't continue to make things difficult for him.

After confirming that most of the mountain dwarves present could get a sip of the spirits, Sean turned his head and said to Hasge: "For those Huiyan brothers who failed to taste the spirits, I can only say a few words for the time being." Sorry, the plague is rampant on the ground now, and the undead are raging. Our caravan can't get through at all. These spirits are all brought in by air. I don't know when there will be a chance for the Huiyan brothers to release the amount. drink."

"If you can't walk on the ground, then go underground. Isn't that ground-digging purple worm already used by the lord?" Patriarch Hasg's eyes were red, and his mouth was full of alcohol. The underground passage leading directly to the lord's territory, our Huiyan clan will do our best to assist in strengthening and repairing it. At that time, we will not ask for the wine of the lord in vain. Our Huiyan clan are all the best miners and blacksmiths. Over the years, we have accumulated There is a lot of wealth, and we will spend money to buy it."

"This is indeed a way." Sean was delighted, this is exactly what he wanted, a few barrels of original wine easily got rid of the most stubborn rock in the City of Shadows, but his face still showed a few Difficult to say, "It's just Lord Alma, I don't know if he will agree."

"I'll talk about it." Hasge patted his chest and said, "Master Alma is the most benevolent and kind, knowing how hard we have been through these years, if there is a better choice, he will definitely not let us continue suffer."

"Then there will be Patriarch Lao on this matter." Hasge is willing to take the lead for himself and test Alma's attitude, that would be great.

At that time, you can make countermeasures according to the other party's reaction.

After drinking one kilogram of 75-degree original wine, Hasge is already three-point drunk, and he is the most forthright and talkative time.

Next, Xiao En proposed to hire the Gray Rock Clan, which naturally became a matter of course. He nodded without hesitation, and agreed to help Xiao En build the mage tower first, and then persuade the legendary patrol Naga Alma to open up the tunnel leading to the Eternal Night Army. matter.

The power of the fungus, the underground gnome, and the mountain dwarf were all combined by Xiao En in different ways. When the infrastructure artifact of the earth-digging purple worm was added, unprecedented energy broke out.

Fungimen provide logistical food support.

The subterranean gnome cooperates with the digging purple worm to build the main body of the mage tower.

The mountain dwarves are engaged in smelting they are best at, making steel brackets and metal products inside the mage tower.

After all, the mage tower is hundreds of meters deep underground, and the pressure from the soil layer is far above the ground. The hardness of the magic bricks alone is far from enough.

Magic steel concrete masonry is king.

Sean did not renovate on the basis of the Lich Mage Tower, but re-selected the site, started a new stove, and built a brand new Mage Tower.

This is not to look down on Angelo's Lich Mage Tower, on the contrary, it is precisely because of its importance.

There are many techniques in it, which are variants from Angelo's hometown. They are unique and have great reference value, especially the automatic defense system commanded by Taring and him.

Before it is fully understood, it will only destroy its integrity if it is rebuilt without authorization.

Sean's new mage tower was chosen to be directly above the nest of the digging purple bug.

It is not a coincidence that the earth-digging purple worm chose to build its nest there.

There is the most concentrated energy mine in the City of Shadows, and there are also expensive metal mines around it.

There is no ready-made energy reaction room available in the Mage Tower here. It is necessary to build a supporting energy reaction furnace to absorb energy by itself. Naturally, the denser the magic energy in the environment, the better.

The shape of the mage tower is neither cylindrical nor square, but polygonal, with as many as twenty-four sides.
