Xi Wei somewhat understood why the dwarves could carry so many King of the Hill siege cannons across the desert. As long as they were broken into parts, with the dwarves' weird strength, wouldn't it be like carrying these heavy instruments for fun?

Look at Gloin's appearance. Every step he takes will leave deep footprints on the gravel beach. His face is neither red nor out of breath, and he walks as fast as flying. He looks like he is used to it.

It's definitely not the first time I've carried a forge around.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time, now I can go to your territory."

Gloin changed the forging furnace to be carried on one arm.

In fact, he only had one hand to exert force, and the other hand could not reach the edge of the forging furnace at all, so it could only play a supporting role.

Xiwei smiled and nodded. He was not polite to the dwarf, but he didn't ride a horse anymore. He couldn't just ride the horse with the three of him and let Gloin chase after him with the forging furnace, right?

Winter Lake is not too far from Winter City. Before noon, everyone can already see the gate of Winter City.

In the street, the players stared at Gloin's weird appearance in stunned silence. Mainly because it was a bit too shocking for a dwarf less than 1.5 meters tall to carry a forging furnace over 6 meters tall.

"Is this a new NPC? He looks so awesome!"

"The dwarf...should be another equipment maker?"

The players were talking a lot and followed Xi Wei and others to watch the excitement.

Gloin looked at the players around him and felt a little strange. He looked at Xiwei doubtfully and asked:

"Are all your people so... uh, lively? This is different from other human empires. The humans there are not only numb farmers but also proud nobles."

"Haha, there are indeed some differences between my place and other countries. These more lively aliens are aliens. Just get used to it. Maybe you will deal with them more often in the future."

While explaining to the dwarf, Xiwei began to issue system prompts to the players.

[Ding! A new NPC has arrived in Winter City]

[Dwarf Forging Master: Groin]

[If there are enough materials, Gloin can forge the highest epic level equipment. He likes wine and rare materials. If you are willing to help Gloin build a blacksmith shop in the inner city, it may leave a good impression on Gloin]

[Triggering task: Build a blacksmith shop]

[Task restrictions: None]

[Task reward: Gloin’s favorability, unknown reward]

…

"If you tell me this, I won't feel sleepy anymore!"

"Ah ha, epic equipment, awesome, master, grandmaster, hero, epic, I think a divine outfit is just around the corner!"

"Brother, wake up, first you must have materials..."

The players happily accepted the temporary mission and followed the instructions on the map to the designated location to start infrastructure construction.

Now Winter City, as a royal city, has begun to have some mages gradually coming to the city. After accepting Xiwei's employment, they usually contribute to infrastructure construction.

Xiwei took Gloin for a stroll, introducing the history and various facilities of Winter City. After walking around for a long time, he finally arrived at the blacksmith shop in the inner city.

With the help of some earth mages, and the existence of cement as an infrastructure tool, the blacksmith shop has begun to take shape.

Gloin looked at the enthusiastic players curiously, found a place to put down his forging furnace, and took down all the tools one by one.

Then he found an open place to sit and observed the players who behaved strangely to him.

"These strangers are so enthusiastic. How much remuneration did you give them?"

"They don't need payment."

Xiwei shrugged and said calmly.

"No need? How is that possible? Are they working for you for free? Then why do they maintain so much enthusiasm?"

"Their enthusiasm is because of your presence."

Xiwei smiled like an old fox.

"because I?"

Gloin looked stunned and didn't know why.

"That's right, as soon as these strangers heard that you were going to settle in Winter City, they were willing to build a blacksmith shop for you for free. They respect dwarf forging masters like you very much."

Xiwei's words were like a bowl of ice water on a hot summer day, making Gloin feel refreshed from the inside out.

Can a dwarf who is hiding in Tibet be respected and loved like this?

Thinking of what he had experienced in the Southern Continent, those cold and greedy humans, compared to these enthusiastic-eyed players, Gloin couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But one thing is certain, that is, he had his first good impression of this relatively unfamiliar city.

In order to further conquer Gloin, Xiwei ordered Roy to take Nina and leave first as soon as he arrived in Winter City. At this moment, Roy had already arrived at the door of the blacksmith shop with a jug of wine in his arms.

Before he walked in, Gloin's big red nose had already begun to twitch, and his big eyes hidden under his high eyebrows were getting brighter and brighter.

Wine! And it is definitely a rare wine.

Groin has lived for more than three hundred years, and he has never smelled such a strong aroma of wine.

Of course, Xiwei had replaced these wines long ago.

He usually drinks a little occasionally, but he always drinks red wine or wine. What Roy brought now is 96-proof Thunder Gaba Bird Vodka.

Xiwei won't drink this kind of wine, it's too strong.

The reason for replacing some is to prepare for emergencies.

After all, it also takes time for Loli and the priest to treat the soldiers, and the spirits can disinfect the wounds of those soldiers who are still waiting in line in advance.

And in cold weather, drinking a little strong alcohol can also keep soldiers fighting.

Xiwei asked the player to drag a simple table over, and Roy gave the player a look of thanks, and then gently placed the vodka resealed in the crystal bottle on the table.

"What are you doing?"

Gloin's beard was trembling, his throat was rolling as he swallowed saliva, and his fingers were clutching his pants tightly, looking restless.

He seemed to be greedy for the wine in front of him, but for the sake of face, he still suppressed the desire in his heart and did not act rashly.

"This is the royal wine of the Winter Empire. It is only available in Winter City and is rarely sold to the outside world. I know that dwarves love spirits, so I will bring you a pot to try."

The kind smile on Xiwei's face became even richer. He knew that he was not far away from completely mastering the dwarf forging master in front of him.

"Ah...why is this so embarrassing?"

Gloin smacked his mouth, rubbed his rough hands, and glanced back and forth between the wine and Xi Wei's face, but most of his eyes stayed on the wine.

Xiwei knew that he was still reserved, so he opened the crystal bottle of vodka in front of Gloin, and a strong aroma of wine suddenly filled the air.

Gloin's body leaned forward slightly, his eyes widened as he stared at the crystal clear wine in the crystal bottle, his tongue moved in his mouth, and he took a deep breath.
