Proof of the Sun King

The road to Dulong City is a very, very long corridor. It takes nearly two hours to walk. Several teams of Hammer Warriors and more dwarf rangers are guarding the corridor and leaving space for the knight kings attending the meeting. Lane, Morgiana and Lilith, the old guards and the Red Navy who followed him, and the poor Otto Bagley, the businessman's cold was not healed, the dwarves laughed at the human beings. No, I found a mine cart to push the merchant in it, but Otto felt better because he took a sip of Dulong City's specialty liquor after accepting the dwarf's suggestion.

There are also countless murals and statues of dwarf ancestors in the two sections of the long corridor.

Needless to say, the statues of the three main gods of the dwarves have been mentioned many times before.

What really caught the attention of Ryan and others was that the statues of four other dwarf minor gods also appeared in the corridor. They were:

Smednier, the dwarven **** of mines and caves.

Tugni, the dwarf rune **** of magic.

Morgrim, **** of dwarven engineering.

Gazul, the patron saint of the dwarves.

It is worth mentioning that the dwarf gods are fundamentally different from the elf gods. The dwarf gods are all ancestor gods, which means that these dwarf gods have all lived, built and fought together as living people and their descendants. Smidnir, **** of mines and caves, and Tugni, **** of rune magic, are the children of Grune and Valaya, and the **** of engineering is Grimnir and Valaya child, Gazul is not clear.

"About seven thousand years ago, our God of War Grimnir decided to take a dwarf army to the far north and close the Chaos Portal." Norsca Dwarf Lord Torgard-Crimson moved towards Lane and others introduced: "Grunni and Valaya tried their best to persuade Grimmnir not to do that, but Grimmnir's stubbornness is like his axe, and his desire for victory and enemies is like a As a drunkard loves ale, Grimnir insisted on going, even trimming his hair and beard to show his resolve, and set off with his son Morgrim and the expedition."

"The beginning of the expedition was not very smooth. Grimnir and Morgrim took the army to fight all the way, but they still encountered trouble after entering the Chaos Wasteland. Afterwards, Grimnir ordered to move on, and fought with the three Khorne demon princes one after another. Although he was victorious, he was seriously injured. I stepped into the Chaos Wasteland and never came back."

Torgard told the ancient history, he pointed to the mural: "After Grimnir disappeared, Granny and Valaya were determined to expedition to the Chaos Wasteland again, this time with a larger expedition, many of them. The expeditionary force arrived at the current location of Dulong City, where mineral veins are extremely rich, and there are a large number of fish and livestock resources, and many high mountains can be planted with highland barley and grazing, so our ancestors settled here."

Ryan nodded again and again. Everyone knew what happened next. Chaos invaded. Granny sent messengers in time before he disappeared, and the Norsca dwarves survived.

Torgard sighed: "We have been trying to find a way to the south, but every time we are forced to retreat under the siege of Chaos beasts and armies, we are temporarily safe, but helpless, we pass the ancestral statue Cut off from the corruption of Chaos and rune magic, hiding our fortresses in the mountains, we have spent thousands of years slowly restoring our national strength and avoiding war."

"But all your contact with the dwarves in the south has been cut off?" Morgiana asked proactively, "It stands to reason that there are also Ugol and the later Mrs. Keisler in the south?"

"We used to have trade and connections with the Norsca people." Torgaard nodded: "But you know, as time passed, the Norsca people gradually abandoned all beliefs and began to turn to Faith Chaos, because we once again We cut off contact with the Norsca and became isolated again. After that, we once suspected that the Nords, the Imperials and Mrs. Keisler in the south also believed in Chaos. It was not until the eve of the Great Holy War that the rivers were navigable and we realized that the original southern Humans do not believe in Chaos, and our dwarven cousins ​​still exist."

"We used to think that the Savior and his empire could return to their former glory, and there is no doubt that he did, but there is only one problem, this guy is too short-lived to be emperor for fifty years, I dare to say that any of us As long as there are no accidents, the tenure of a great monarch will not be less than three hundred years." The King of Thunder City Rogamil Ufasen interjected: "We will see later, the loss of the savior, a group of two or five boys who are on the street. Fighting in the nest all day, why can’t human beings always produce a few decent leaders with long enough life? Why do they always like to entangle, and the next one will always deny the promise of the previous one?”

"Then you can rest assured." After hearing this, the fairy in the lake said with a smile: "Ryan will live long enough and be strong enough."

"That's why we're here to welcome you, King of Knights." Torgard nodded slightly: "We know about the recovery of the Eight Peaks, and Thorgreen also wrote to say that you are a decent leader, and I hope that this group of humans will be on the street. The two or five boys can slow down a little and pursue some stability and prosperity."

"We will." Ryan thought for a moment, then said, "However, as far as I know, a bigger and more terrifying storm is approaching, and Motkin's invasion is just the beginning of everything."

"I don't know what started it all, I just know we're there." Torgard raised his big hand.

That's right, here we are.

A giant meteorite gate with a height of 15 meters was slammed open under the drive of water, and the entire underground rock wall was suddenly bright as daylight. About 500 dwarf crossbowmen and more than 100 musketeers were waiting for the arrival of their king at the gate. , On both sides of the gate, three ancestral statues more than ten meters high are shining brightly, as always, Granny is holding a hammer and a shield, and Grimnir with a mohawk and a trimmed beard is facing each other. All the guests glared at him, while Valaya was holding a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, with two big braids, as if thinking about something.

"Oh, the statues here are much shorter than those in Bafeng Mountain." Little Solgreen shouted excitedly: "But what rune is that, I don't think I've seen it before!"

"Shut your mouth, mustache!" Torgard glared at the little Thorgreen: "Otherwise I will send you to feed the piranhas deep in the ground!"

Passing through the gate, a huge mountain city appeared in front of everyone.

The mountains have been hollowed out, and only the light and torches at the top provide illumination. The excellent planning level and construction ability of the dwarves are displayed here. Dozens of tunnels are square, dividing Dulong City into hundreds of squares. The reinforced walls are solid and reliable, decorated with words and reliefs, which tell the story of the ancestors silently, and several galleries open out in the patriarchal hall, overlooking the canteen, armory, reception room and blacksmithing hall. .

Torgard clapped his hands, and dozens of long-bearded veterans appeared in the dwarf maharaja's clan in an instant. The crimson man laughed and said to Ryan, "Even if you are the king of knights and come to our Dulong City, Follow the rules."

"What are the rules?" Ryan stretched out his hand to signal Morgiana to stay calm. He spread his hands: "I have to explain in advance that I will abide by not all rules."

"It's not difficult for you." Torgard emphasized: "It's very simple. If you want to negotiate with us about trade, then you must show your sincerity. You only need three things. First, compare your strength. Second, than drinking, third, than singing!"

Ryan nodded: "It's not difficult, but I need clear standards."

"The first rule we don't compare with you, your strength is there." Torgard laughed directly: "The third rule we don't compare with you, because the singing of dwarves is different from that of humans, so we only compare with the second rule ,drink wine!"

Ancestral Hall, a group of bearded dwarves, a golden dome, a long sandalwood table, a wine glass inlaid with gems, hundreds of barrels of barley wine, twenty baskets of bread, a dozen plates of cold-cut lamb and sauces, as well as various mushrooms and Pickled fish.

The King's Kitchen in Dulong City was fully operational, and gourmet dishes were served.

Ryan took his seat, and across from him sat five bearded dwarves, each of them wearing crimson robes and animal skin down jackets.

The four kings of the Dulong City dwarves also took their seats.

A dwarf maid with a round body like a bucket brought an oversized diamond beer mug, which Ryan estimated could hold a liter of beer.

"Drink a drink, say a word, and state all your intentions and negotiation conditions!" Lord Torgard sat directly opposite Ryan: "In the name of Granny, we set the ancestor code!"

"Who talks, who drinks! How?"

"Yes!" Ryan's mouth showed a smile: "Are you ready? Dwarf?"

"Very well, in the name of the great monarch, I announce that the feast of Granny has begun!"

…………I am the dividing line of the Granny Feast…………

Two days later, in the meeting hall of the ancestors of Dulong City, under the golden dome, Maharaja Thorgaard-Crimson and three other kings, as well as five clan chiefs, master rune craftsmen, and master engineers sat together. , discussing the outcome of the negotiations.

"Then the problem is obvious, this knight king is very strong, he speaks well among humans, has a relatively good reputation, and can speak very fluent dwarven language... Although it is the accent of the kingdom of mountains, we must not Don't admit it, chatting with him is not as tiring as chatting with other humans." King Harkon of Crow's Nest City said: "At least it looks like that on the surface."

"The only disturbing thing is that according to the news, he seems to be closer to the elves." King Tyr of Eagle Peak City folded his arms: "Those **** pointed ears are not reliable at all."

"We are trading with the kingdom of knights, not with elves. Besides, elves are sometimes good." King Rogamil of Thunder City stroked his white beard: "The premise is that we can get it, such as silk and silk. All kinds of fine embroidery? Jewelry?"

All the people present nodded, don't look at the dwarves and elves are not pleasing to each other, but the dwarves are very fond of many high-end luxuries of elves.

"Our knight king also proposed to continue to build a large-scale dwarf blacksmith workshop, which is built in his domain, the place called Musilon." Eric, the president of the Dulong City Craftsmen Association and the master of rune craftsmen Said: "He was told by little Thorgreen that our rune craftsmen are the best and most complete, so I hope to hire a few boys under my command to help."

"What about the price?" Torgard burped, drinking too much that day, and everyone slept all day the next day.

"The price...not bad, and he promises that he will never point fingers at the dwarves, as long as the quality and output are guaranteed, and I promise that it will not affect the work here."

The crowd started chatting, spending an hour or two discussing what to do.

"Listen, everyone, normally we need a year or two to think and discuss these things, but the King of Knights can't wait for us for a year or two." Torgard motioned for everyone to be quiet, under the specially-made golden dome echoing wall , every word of the dwarf can be clearly heard by everyone: "Actually the problem is very simple, we all know that now Errengrad in the south is in charge of his people, he is better at fighting and more trustworthy, The price of the goods offered is also lower than that of the tsar, and it is large, and more importantly, he promises to bring us a lot of grain, a lot of grain, meat, fish, and what we desperately need. Lots of textiles so we can build new breweries and meatpacking plants, and get our kids all dressed in clean, pretty robes!"

"Oh wow! New brewery!"

"I can have this. Highland barley wine is not tasty enough, but the dark beer and Bagman beer from the south are delicious!"

"Can he really do it?"

"There are 110,800 dwarves in our four kingdoms!"

"Listen, everyone, listen." Torgard once again signaled everyone to be obedient: "The King of Knights wants to exchange food, cloth, luxury goods and other things with us for our rune armor, rune weapons, various Ore and rare metals, my people have already settled the accounts overnight, this trade will help us fill up the treasure house of family wealth and the treasury~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The only requirement is that only Erlengrad is designated as the The only trading port, and we only trade with the few merchants he designated."

"If he can provide us with all the goods we need, then why not? Humans are short-lived and unreliable fellows, and we've encountered treacherous humans deceived us more than once, and we've been dead for years when they finally come to our door. already."

"Then let it all be settled, we trade with them with our various ores, rune weapons, jewels or whatever."

In the end, the patriarchal meeting voted and passed the trade agreement with 8 votes in favor and 1 abstention. The abstention came from the largest businessman in Dulong City, the Oblak clan, this family has just been with Tsar Kislev Romanov. Not long after the family signed the trade agreement, they were reluctant to give up such a generous trade profit, but they had no choice but to object to the status quo.

This trade agreement is known as the "Dulong City Exclusive Trade Agreement" in history. With this trade agreement, the Dulong City dwarves got a lot of much-needed materials from the old world in the next period of time, and quickly moved to the new one. A round of prosperity, and the Brittanian royal family represented by Ryan has obtained an unimaginable amount of wealth through this trade agreement.

But that's another story.

"Very well, now let's discuss the second matter, which was also proposed by His Majesty the King of Knights."

"That's what he's proposing for the so-called 'Great Retreat'."

"This proposal discusses how our group of Norsca dwarves will withdraw from here if we are once again confronted with the absolute predicament of being besieged by the already suffocating Norsca High King Aislyn for a long time like the Battle of the Mountains. proposal.”

"Now, let's discuss whether it is necessary to prepare for the 'big retreat' plan."
