The architectural style of the dwarves is indeed completely different from that of humans. The biggest thing that Ryan felt was the dim light in the Rock Fortress. If he had not practiced martial arts with Galib for a period of time when he was young, he would not be in such a dim environment.
He had quite some experience. He probably couldn't even identify the direction. Even so, Ryan's guards were completely blinded. They had to light torches to illuminate the way forward, so that JB would keep looking back at this group of people.
Human beings with "strange" customs.
From Freya, Ryan understood what was going on. It turned out that dwarves, like elves, were born with the ability to see in the dark. They could distinguish the surrounding environment even if there was no light. In that ancient era, flames had not really been used.
The creatures on this continent mastered and used it. The elves and dwarves relied on this ability to survive in this world. It was not until later that humans slowly rose up relying on magic and technology that they replaced the two races.
Ryan walked on the passage inside the Rock Fortress, admiring the dwarves very much in his heart. The feeling of Ryan walking here is no different from walking on the streets of Iron Fist Castle New City. The height from head to foot is more than 5 meters, which is not the case.
It would give people any sense of oppression. Ryan even estimated the width of the passage and felt that there would be no problem even if he walked on two carriages side by side. However, this place was underground, which had to be amazing.
After several consecutive turns and passes through several levels, Ryan's eyes suddenly opened up. In front of him was a huge space that looked a lot like a square. There were many dwarves sitting around the fire and drinking together.
As we drank and chatted, the originally quiet environment became lively.
Caves were carved out of the stone walls around the square, which were obviously the residences of the dwarves. Captain Jebina led Ryan and the others directly to a cave with a wooden sign hanging on the doorway, and shouted loudly into it.
shouted: "Director Lombard, Her Majesty the Elf Queen is here to visit! Don't plan on Sam's two barrels of strong rum, come out quickly."
JB's words made Ryan almost laugh. The dwarves were so cute, and they had no idea of inferiority between them. This also made Ryan feel a little envious. But when the Lombard manager came out,
Ryan finally couldn't help laughing because he saw a drunken dwarf holding
A large wine barrel that was as tall as him and thicker than his waist swayed out. When he was almost in front of Jabina, the dwarf stumbled for some reason. The wine barrel was full of
A little bit of the golden wine swayed out and fell to the ground, and Ryan's nose immediately smelled a pungent aroma of wine.
Before Fulia could speak, a burlier dwarf immediately jumped out of the cave marked by a wooden sign with a wine glass. He looked at the little bit of golden wine on the ground with distress, and pointed angrily at the previously moved dwarf.
The dwarf holding the wine barrel cursed: "Lombard, you bastard, do you know how much effort I spent on this thunder wine, and you dare to spill it? You... you are... a waste, such a waste!
"
"Hiccup!" The dwarf who came out carrying the wine barrel burped, then put the wine barrel in his arms on the ground, and said to the dwarf who rushed out from behind: "You just spilled a little, you
Just think of it as a smell for me. I said, Sam, don't worry about it, I have to go greet the distinguished guests. Sometimes, I'll worry about it when I'm drinking in the evening."
The dwarf named Sam muttered a few words and stomped back. The dwarf who came out with the wine barrel looked around with his drunken eyes and said to Freya.
: "Hello, noble Elf Queen, please forgive me for being drunk, but the strong rum brewed by Sam is really good, I just drank a big glass, burp!"
Freya has been here several times, and she is also very aware of the dwarf's alcoholic character. Naturally, she will not have any thoughts of blaming Lombard for his gaffe, so she said with a smile: "Since we are all friends, we elves,
Dwarves and humans have also formed allies, so don’t worry about these boring rules. Come, Lombard, please allow me to introduce you to my husband, the human mage Ryan."
Lombard followed Freya's fingers and saw Ryan standing aside. He shook his head and said: "Looking at this thin figure, I guess drinking is not enough. Uh, wait, Her Majesty the Queen, when did you get married?
Why didn’t our King, His Majesty, get the invitation?”
"Not yet..." Fulia's voice became smaller and smaller, and her face turned red again. After all, it would be a bit arrogant to say that Ryan is her husband when meeting people. After all, Ryan is currently his only wife.
It's Faras, but if Fulia says that she is just Ryan's lover,
The whole elf's face was completely lost. This is why her guards hated Ryan. In their view, Ryan was a typical playboy with so many women around him, and their supreme Majesty the Queen turned out to be just him.
One of them still has no status.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just the same thing anyway. If you want to drink in Demon Moon City, you can also drink in Rock Fortress." Lombard staggered to Ryan's side. His height only reached Ryan's chest, but
The strength was amazing. He pulled Ryan back to the wine barrel, then picked up the barrel with all his strength, handed it to Ryan and said, "Drink!"
Ryan's face looked bitter. He just smelled the smell of the wine and felt dizzy in his head. However, looking at this posture, if he didn't drink, he would immediately be considered by the dwarves as looking down on them. Not only would he not be able to be friends,
I'm afraid it will cause more disputes. The helpless Ryan had to look at Freya for help, and the latter gave Ryan a helpless look, then looked at the big wine barrel in front of Ryan, indicating that the only thing he could do was drink.
Solution.
Ryan secretly sighed in his heart. He had always been a teetotaler, but he didn't expect to have to break the habit today. He lowered his head and took a big sip by the wine barrel. The stimulating wine slurry poured into Ryan's throat.
Suddenly, Ryan felt a burning sensation in his chest.
And then, after Ryan took this sip, he felt that his upper body was completely numb, as if he had been struck by lightning. The only thing he could do was to quickly close his mouth tightly, fearing that if he opened his mouth to speak, he would blow up what he just said.
It would be extremely rude to spit out the liquor.
"Uh, did you really drink it?" The Lombard manager looked at the wine barrel in his arms. The wine pulp inside didn't seem to have changed, so he said to Ryan with a suspicious expression: "You're welcome, this is Sam
The carefully brewed thunder wine can only be drunk at this time of the year."
Ryan only felt dizzy, his stomach was churning, and the sour and numb feeling soon spread throughout his body, as if he would spit out the wine he drank at any time, so Ryan became more and more afraid to open his mouth to speak, and just used
He gestured towards Lombard a few times, indicating that he would drink some.
"No, no, we dwarves choose men based on their drinking capacity. As the husband of the Elf Queen, how can you drink so little?" Lombard seemed to understand what Ryan meant, and he greeted Sam's hotel.
, and then continued: "Perhaps you are not used to drinking from such a large barrel? Then let's change to a cup."
Ryan was secretly happy, thinking that if he used a small wine glass, he would be able to delay it for a while, so he quickly opened his mouth and said: "Okay..." However, the wine that Ryan drank before kept churning. As soon as he opened his mouth like this, the boiling liquid
The wine immediately returned along the original path, and Ryan spat it out with a "wow" sound. He looked so embarrassed.
After Ryan hurriedly wiped his mouth, he looked up and saw a large wine glass big enough for him to wash his face, and a large glass of wine slowly filling the wine glass. Ryan quickly opened his mouth to refuse, but Lombard took advantage of him to open his mouth and directly took the wine glass.
He poured it towards Ryan's mouth. Ryan struggled desperately, but his physical strength and strength were completely inferior to Lombard, and it was impossible for him to use magic. After all, the other party had no ill intentions, so the whole cup was poured into Ryan's mouth.
belly.
"Well, it's just so-so. I can barely pass the test for you." Lombard looked at Ryan with some dissatisfaction, but he was too embarrassed to force him to drink wine again. After all, he was the husband of the Elf Queen, not his fellow dwarf.
.But my heart is not right
Gan's Lombard rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a way, so he roared loudly: "My compatriots, the noble Elf Queen came to the Rock Fortress and brought her husband with her. Let us use our warmest words.
A ceremony to welcome them!”
In fact, when Fulia and the others entered the square, they had already attracted the attention of all the dwarves here. After all, dwarves and elves have very outstanding appearance characteristics, but most of the dwarves did not know Fulia's identity.
, now that they heard that the dwarf's best friend, the proud queen of the elves, was actually married, everyone was curious about who she had chosen, and gathered around her.
Ryan's reputation as a teetotaler, along with his magical power, spread almost throughout the continent. After Ryan was given a large glass of strong drink, Freya immediately walked beside him worriedly to support him. At this time, Ryan's
He looked very bad. His body was leaning against Fulia's body limply. It seemed that as soon as Fulia let go, he would fall to the ground and then fall asleep. This made Fulia very worried.
At this time, many of the nearby dwarves had gathered around. After Lombard's embellished description, Ryan, who never drank alcohol, turned into a human mage with an outstanding ability to drink. So the dwarves were holding wine glasses or carrying
Wine barrel, prepare to drink with this human man who has won the heart of the Elf Queen.
One cup, this is also the most commonly used ritual among the dwarves, and the most enthusiastic one is to rely on one's own drinking capacity to "annihilate" all the toasting dwarves. Although there are very few people who can do this, once they can do it
When he arrived, he immediately gained everyone's recognition and became the dwarf's best friend.
