Volume 2: The Young Eagle Spreads Its Wings Chapter 35: A Trip to the Dwarves
In the lush forests of the Nico Mountains, a group of people is marching cautiously into the depths of the forest. This group of people is the caravan that our Nangong family trades with the dwarves. Yesterday, after discussing the trip to the dwarves with my third uncle, my uncle decided to lead it himself.
The caravan is coming to the settlement of the dwarves. Let me accompany the caravan to the settlement of the dwarves!
The team marched slowly in the forest. The dwarves who lived in the Nico Mountains once had great glory, but under the invasion of humans, they were slowly expelled from the rich land of the mainland and were driven to the Nico Mountains.
, the dwarves have once again established their own unique living world on this barren land with their hard-working and dexterous hands. At the same time, because of their distrust of humans, they usually do not interact with or cooperate with humans!
I rode my horse and followed the caravan through the roadless forest. I looked at my uncle who was leisurely beside me and couldn't help asking: "I'm talking about uncle! When will the dwarf settlement arrive?"
It’s been two days since I left my door!”
My uncle picked his teeth with a piece of grass and said, "Come on, it should be around here." I was depressed, what does "should" mean? Could it be that my uncle didn't know the road either... I looked at my uncle with a suspicious face, and he laughed dryly and said
: "Haha... don't look at me with that kind of admiration, I'll be shy!" I'm dizzy! At this time, in the woods in front, the roofs of several thatched huts are vaguely exposed, as well as the rising smoke.
, my uncle said to me: "Ahead is the settlement of the dwarves!"
The uncle opened his mouth and shouted to a young boy in front: "Xiao Tian went to inform the dwarves that we are coming!" He shouted to the team: "The team stopped and waited for orders!"
I looked at my uncle in confusion and asked, "Why did you stop and not move on?"
The uncle explained patiently: "The dwarves are very wary of humans. If we enter their territory without notifying them, we may be attacked by them!"
After a while, Xiaotian came back, followed by several people who were less than 1.5 meters tall, like children, but their bodies were extremely strong, especially their arms, which were extremely thick. When my uncle saw my curious look, he smiled and said
: "This is the dwarf. Their adult height is generally between 1.4 and 1.5 bra. (One bra is equal to one meter, a common unit of measurement in the mainland!)" I nodded, thinking that I am indeed a dwarf.
This clan is indeed short enough!
Several dwarves came to the front of our caravan. My uncle jumped off his horse. I also followed my uncle. My uncle came to several dwarves and hugged the leading dwarf affectionately. The uncle smiled and said: "Riya
Old man! You are still so strong! We haven’t seen each other for so long, do you miss me, my old friend?"
The visitor hugged his uncle back and laughed loudly: "I think so, I think so!" The uncle looked touched and the visitor continued: "I'm going crazy thinking about your wine! I said you would bring it to me this time.
How much good wine has come?"
The uncle said angrily: "Not even a drop!"
The visitor said sadly: "Hey, I made a good armor this year, but it seems no one wants it."
The uncle immediately said with a flattering smile on his face: "Riya, I was joking with you just now. How could I forget to bring wine to my old friend? Do I look like that kind of person?" I nodded and said to myself: You don't look like that kind of person.
He is that kind of person. The uncle said: "For the sake of the fine wine I brought you, that armor of yours..."
Riya said generously: "Of course it's for you, my old friend!" I looked at the pair of old and cunning people in front of me and despised them infinitely!
My uncle waved to me, and I quickly came to the front of the two people. My uncle said to me: "This is your uncle's old friend, Leah Nico!"
I saluted Riya and said, "Hello uncle, please give me some advice when we meet for the first time!"
The uncle said to Riya: "This guy is my nephew. Old guy, your descendants have saluted you. Why don't you give me some greeting gifts?"
Riya looked at me and smiled and said: "When there are gifts, you can come to my house to choose. You can take whatever you like!"
I smiled and said, "You're welcome then, my nephew!"
The uncle shouted: "Riya, why are you not so kind to your old friend?"
Riya said: "Okay, you are still acting like a child at such an old age. Go quickly and enter the village. The elders are already waiting there!"
The uncle nodded and ordered the team to follow the dwarf, and slowly marched into the dwarf's village. When I entered the dwarf's village, what I saw was a village that was the same as in ancient times on earth. The village was very large, with neat houses.
Rows of people lined up along the mountain to the distance, and the noisy but orderly sound of blacksmithing came from the village, mixed with a special sense of tranquility.
Leah said to her uncle: "Yunli came with me. The elder is waiting for you. The elder wants to see you."
Uncle said: "Okay! I will give instructions to the caravan, and then I will go with you to see the elder." Riya nodded. After uncle arranged the things for the caravan, he led me to Riya. Riya looked at
Looking at me and about to speak, my uncle said: "Needless to say, Riya, the purpose of bringing my nephew here this time is to let him take over my business with you. Now I hope that he can have more contact with you, and I also want him to take over my business with you."
Introduce him to the elders, and don't worry, the elders won't blame you!" Riya reluctantly led us to the center of the village.
We came to a house that was no different from any other house. Riya said to the house: "Elder, the people you want to see have arrived. Do you want to see them?"
An old voice came from inside: "Let them in!"
I followed Riya and my uncle into the house in front of me. An old man was sitting quietly on a mat with his eyes closed. He slowly opened his eyes, and a shining gaze full of wisdom fell on me.
He asked: "Who is this young man who is young but full of infinite power?"
I stepped forward and replied respectfully: "I am Nangong Hanqiu! I have met the elder!"
The elder said: "I don't think your coming here is for business matters?"
I said: "Elder is wise! I am indeed not here for business, but for the future of your dwarf clan."
The elder slowly closed his eyes again and said, "What did you bring us?"
I said: "Hope, light, honor and the land of your hometown! There is also something that you guys have been pursuing!" Uncle and Riya looked at me and the elder in shock. Didn't they say they wanted to see Nangong Yunli?
Why did you start discussing with Nangong Hanqiu? I continued: "Elder has supreme wisdom. You know the difficulties faced by the dwarves. Cooperating with me is your only way out."
The elder sat there silently, and I said: "Elder, you can first consider whether to give me a chance to talk to you sincerely!" I sat in front of the elder and slowly closed my eyes, hum! Compared with me in patience, I
I used to be a special forces soldier, would I be afraid of you?
