Bourne was stunned for a moment, and then he relaxed a lot. He is indeed much more stable than his younger and more energetic peers, but his character is still the standard character of a dwarf - bold and straightforward, and he is very capable in some things.

Be careful.

Dwarves like to deal with straightforward people. Tang Zhao, who makes a living by fighting in the forest, likes to get straight to the point. The same goes for dwarves. When they communicate, there will be no subtle discomfort due to personality differences.

"Our current situation is not very good. We can't provide you with a lot of supplies. We can barely provide you with some dwarf weapons and a cart of gray-bearded steel. Other than that, we can't get much more.

But I still have a plan now, and I need the help of the forest residents. We will all get a lot of things when it is completed."

Tang Zhao stared at the armed dwarf with wide eyes for a while, then nodded slightly, indicating that Cynthia could continue to translate for him.

[It’s not too late to talk about the planned matters later. Our relationship has not yet reached the point of discussing further cooperation. We just want to make a deal. Tell us your needs, and I will make an offer, or vice versa. It doesn’t matter. 】

The task Tang Zhao received from the unicorn Lorraine was to solve the troubles caused by the dwarves. Lorraine did not make any specific requirements. In other words, as long as he did not use excessive methods, Lorraine would have the same result.

I won't delve into it.

Lorraine didn't want to see these dwarves, but Tang Zhao wanted to sacrifice them all.

He has strong combat power, outstanding blacksmithing and rune skills. Apart from being a bit grumpy and selfish towards outsiders, he has no problems with his personality. At present, he seems to be a very, very suitable candidate. If conditions permit, Tang Zhao would not mind going further with him.

cooperate.

"Okay," it was reasonable for the invitation to be rejected. Bourne was not angry or dissatisfied. "I need a rough map of this forest, a follow-up and some reasonable supplies. If possible, I also hope to have some commonly used supplies.

tool."

[I can accept all of these. I need some lighter weapons. In addition, I need the help of a dwarf craftsman who knows metal smelting. I can guarantee that his environment will be several levels safer than mine. Each

The supplies that should be provided will be the best we can provide.】

Bourne nodded repeatedly: "It's a very reasonable request. We can accept this condition. But before that, I want to ask again, what is the use of that dwarf craftsman you want? We dwarves are more or less

We all have some special taboos, and if we ask them all clearly beforehand, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, which is good for both of us."

[It’s very simple. In human terms, the maintenance of weapons and equipment and metal smelting are called the White Copper Forest. The mineral reserves nearby are very rich. I believe you dwarves can also deeply understand this. 】

There was nothing shameful about Tang Zhao, and he spoke openly about his situation.

Goblins cannot do heavy physical work, kobolds are naturally unable to withstand extremely high temperatures, and even werebears or dryads have no relevant technical experience.

Without the help of professionals, the progress of their metallurgical development would be greatly slowed down. Now that the top professionals in the continent are standing in front of them, Tang Zhao certainly has no reason not to speak up.

After looking at Tang Zhao for a few times, Bourne nodded and agreed: "It's acceptable. Let's start discussing the quantity of supplies in detail. Then I can start preparations."

It was obvious that the dwarves were very anxious, and Tang Zhao understood them very well, so he cooperated very well. In less than half an hour, everything that needed to be discussed was discussed.

Let a group of goblins go back to prepare supplies, while Tang Zhao stayed behind for the time being. He also wanted to communicate with the dwarves about what happened. In fact, he was still confused until now.

After the most critical matter was resolved, Bourne became more cheerful and talkative. During the communication with him, Tang Zhao finally understood the general story of the matter.

In short, they come from the Greybeard Kingdom, a dwarf fortress north of Insura. The Greybeard Kingdom was recently captured by a joint attack by hobgoblins and orcs, and they were one of the survivors who broke out.

Because of this, they have all kinds of special circumstances, because it is extremely difficult for survivors like them to break out, and it is unrealistic to ask for more.

After figuring out the reason, Tang Zhao was no longer in a hurry - Lorraine was a very reasonable type, and now that the dwarves were bearing the blood feud of the kingdom, he would not push too hard, and might even actively support the dwarves' actions.

.

Tang Zhao and Byrne both had their own matters to deal with, and they did not chat for an hour or two. After talking for half an hour, they left to help with the matters at hand.

——

Tang Zhao didn't bother Lorraine about the supplies. He would handle it himself. Fortunately, there were not many dwarves. He could still scrape together short-term supplies for a few hundred people, but he might have to do a lot more with humans in the future.

transactions to replenish consumption.

In the future, the scale of transactions will become larger and larger, and one day it will reach a noticeable level. Before that, Tang Zhao needs to be prepared, at least to achieve the most basic self-sufficiency and basic self-defense capabilities before being noticed by humans.

.

Otherwise, there is no need for humans to have any evil thoughts and reduce the supply of materials, and his side will collapse on its own in a short time.

If you don't have enough strength, you will be misled by others. This is true in nature, and it is similar when dealing with intelligent creatures. Tang Zhao always believed that only strong enough strength can guarantee safety, and anything else is just a loft in the sky.
