The alpine dwarves living in the Red Mountains are a powerful and intelligent race. Although they are not tall, they generally only reach the chest of a human being, but their strength is much higher than ordinary people. The strength of ordinary dwarf men is about the same as that of high-level black iron men.
Everyone is a born warrior.【】
Dwarves have a straightforward and rude personality. If they think you are their friend, they will not hesitate to lose their lives for you. But if the dwarves think you are not a good person, then I'm sorry, no matter how you try to remedy it, you can't change their attitude towards you.
You can never improve your relationship with them. To put it bluntly, the first impression is very important when dealing with dwarves, and it will directly affect your relationship with them.
Roger, who knew this truth, did not dare to neglect it. After all, whether a powerful dwarf tribe was an enemy or a friend was still very important to him. These dwarves controlled the entire Red Mountain Range. If he had an enemy with them, he would at least be able to mine stone in the future.
It's not that easy anymore.
Therefore, Roger also made some preparations before setting off, and brought a lot of supplies that were relatively scarce in the Red Mountains, such as a large batch of wheat, vegetables grown near Kent Town, and of course, the most important thing was a large amount of ale.
The dwarves are a race that loves wine, to the point where they are not happy with wine. However, they all live in high mountains with a barren environment. The little food they work hard to grow is enough to eat, and there is no surplus food to make wine. Therefore, the people on the mainland
Human beings all know that if you want to deal with dwarves, you must first bring enough ale. Before setting off, Roger swept away all the ale in Kent Town. Maybe these few barrels of ale are nothing in big cities, but to the dwarves
You can also have a good drink.
Roger took these supplies to the quarry in the Red Mountains alone. After he arrived, Phil immediately ordered people to contact the dwarves on the mountain.
Roger didn't wait long before several dwarves came from the depths of the Red Mountains. They looked like negotiators sent by the dwarf tribe.
Although these dwarves are not tall, and none of them are higher than Roger's chest, their bodies are very strong. The muscles on their bodies are very well developed, and you can tell that the dwarves have great power.
Several dwarves all have big beards, and they carefully braid their beards into many small braids. For dwarves, beards are a man's glory. The more beards a dwarf man has, the more favored he is by the opposite sex, so dwarf men do a lot of things to protect their beards.
No effort is spared. On important occasions, dwarves will even dress up their beards carefully to make themselves the envy of others.
However, Roger did not envy the beards of the dwarves. What he admired very much was their armor and weapons. The dwarves believed in the god of forging, and their forging profits were the highest in the entire continent of Doom. The weapons of the dwarves
It is naturally gleaming and sharp, and even their armor is made of metal. The metal armor of the dwarves is very strong and has almost no effect on the wearer's actions. This alone can tell that they are strong.
The craftsmanship is much better than that of humans.
The dwarves are indeed a rough race. As soon as Phil introduced Roger's identity to them, a leading dwarf shouted: "Are you the chief of these humans? This red mountain range has always been the territory of our hammer dwarves. You
What's the point of intervening now? We must have a serious talk about this matter!"
Humans across the entire continent know that. Dwarves have always been so rude, but Roger's performance at this time was even better than them. He slammed the table and said, "What are we talking about? Let's drink first!"
Hearing Roger say the words "talk about what to talk about", the dwarves all changed their expressions, but after hearing what he said, they immediately nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, you are a bit interesting as a human, then
Let’s drink first!”
For Roger, who comes from the earth, it is very common to enhance feelings at the wine table. This rule is especially suitable for the dwarves. After drinking a few glasses of ale, the dwarves had a good impression of Roger as a human being.
I feel that someone who drinks so generously like him must be a good person with a straight heart. Only a cunning guy will drink in small sips as if he is drinking poison.
"Come, Chief Fell, let's have another drink!" Roger raised his glass to the dwarf chief, then raised his head and drank the glass of ale.
The ale in the world of Toulonzo is similar to the beer on Earth. For Roger, who is working on the "alcohol test", the ale is almost the same as a drink. Although he has drunk several large glasses in a row, except for his stomach being a little bloated
There is no other feeling.
The dwarves admired Roger's wine very much and had no doubts about his character. The dwarf chief Feir Hammer also raised his head and drank the glass of ale in one gulp.
"Have fun, come again!" Roger did not mention the negotiation, but continued to fill up the wine glasses in front of him, and then worked with the dwarves to turn the full wine glasses into empty glasses.
In the end, it was the drunken dwarves who couldn't hold it any longer. Chief Fell shook his dizzy head and said, "Roger, we've all drunk enough today. Next... uh, isn't it?"
Time to talk about your quarry?"
"We'll talk about the quarry later." Before the dwarf chief could object, Roger pointed to the open space behind him and said, "Let's go to the gift I prepared for you!"
The curious Phil followed Roger to the open space, and his eyes, which were already like bells, immediately widened even more. In front of him was a large amount of wheat, as well as some vegetables and fruits that could only grow on flat land.
All piled neatly on the ground.
"These are my gifts to the Hammer Tribe. Chief Fell, please don't refuse!" Roger hooked the dwarf's shoulder and said: "I have just taken over this territory, and my money is very tight right now, so I can only
Don’t be too little if you bring out such a small amount!”
"A lot, a lot!" For the dwarf, so much food was already very surprising, and Feier responded consciously. However, although the dwarf has a bold personality, he is not a fool after all. As a tribal chief, Feier is also a
The smart man quickly reacted and said: "If these materials are used in exchange for the Red Mountain Range..."
Before Feier could finish his words, Roger already showed a very hurt expression and loudly said with grievance: "Look what you are talking about, I gave these things to my dwarf friends, not for negotiation.
Chip, what you said is simply insulting my character!"
"Hehe... It's my fault, it's my fault!" Feeling a little embarrassed by Roger's righteous words, Feier said with a smile: "Humans always try to take advantage of us when dealing with dwarves, and suddenly they meet someone like you.
I am not used to such a good person."
"I don't blame you, we are friends." Roger said magnanimously: "As for the quarry... If the Hammer Tribe doesn't like it, I will withdraw my people tomorrow and nothing can be done.
I'm sorry about my dwarf friends, right?"
Roger's attitude made Feier extremely ashamed. What a good human being he was. He actually put the interests of the dwarves first. At this moment, the dwarf chief's generous character completely broke out. He beat his chest so loudly that it made a loud noise.
: "Look what you are saying, we dwarves are also loyal! In this way, the quarry will be opened, and I will send people to patrol around tomorrow to prevent wild beasts from harming the workers in the quarry!"
"Hey, the problem is solved, and we also got a group of free bodyguards!" Feier's words made Roger very satisfied, and he immediately gratefully said to the dwarf chief: "This is great. Since we are friends, I will just say thank you nonsense.
Stop talking!"
"Yes, there is no need to say thank you between friends!" Roger's words were very to Feier's liking. The dwarf chief felt that the more human he was, the more he liked him. At the same time, he secretly felt pity that such a generous Roger was not a dwarf.
"Chief, actually it doesn't matter if this quarry is closed." Another short man named Dali Furnace said carelessly: "There are a lot of useless stones in our mine. If human friends need it, we only need to transport those stones to
Wouldn't it save them a lot of trouble by coming down from the mountain?"
Dali's words made Roger even more happy. It would be better if he could get the stones without any effort. He immediately clapped his hands and said, "This is the best. I will only leave a few people at the foot of the mountain to wait for you to transport the stones down!"
In fact, the dwarves were originally worried that Roger, the human lord, wanted to use the excuse of opening a quarry to slowly encroach on the territory of the Red Mountain Range. Now that they heard that he only sent people to collect stones at the foot of the mountain, all doubts in their hearts disappeared.
Fei Er was very satisfied with the result. He laughed and said to Roger: "Then the matter is settled. Let's go on drinking!"
Roger was also very satisfied with the result. With only a few benefits, he established a good relationship with the dwarf tribe and allowed them to mine stones for him. The result was already better than he had expected.
Roger and the dwarves drank a few more drinks. Both parties were in a good mood and felt that their relationship with each other was better. So Roger patted the dwarf chief on the shoulder and said: "I said Feier, why don't you build a better relationship with each other?"
Are your weapons and armors used to trade with humans? With your good craftsmanship, the money you earn is enough for you to drink the strongest wine and eat the best food every day, so you don’t have to live so hard?"
"To tell you the truth, we dwarves also want to do this." Feier, who was already half drunk, said dizzy: "But unlike every human being who is as honest as you, those treacherous businessmen want to take advantage of us.
It’s cheap, we dwarves would rather live a harder life than deal with these profiteers!”
"Hey, this is a good opportunity!" The words of the dwarf chief made Roger's brain flash, and he knew that an excellent business opportunity was right in front of him, and he decided to seize this opportunity without hesitation.
