Different World Online

Steve breathed a sigh of relief after getting a positive answer.

As he walked to the tavern, he began to count his small change;

It’s not possible. Bobby eats too much.

When he was in Waterdeep, Maple Leaf, and Silvermoon, he would wander the streets and find one or two bulging wallets.

But when he reached Thorium Hall, he could not bring himself to kill the dwarves;

There was no other reason, it was simply because they were too short and Steve's hands couldn't reach them;

However, he still had less than 20,000 platinum coins on him;

20,000 from the Church of the God of Justice, 20,000 from the Church of the God of Suffering, 20,000 from Catherine, 20,000 from Thorin's father, and 20,000 from his own [Void Demiplane];

As for the unfortunate Yang, since there was no last words, Steve could do nothing;

Although he learned a lot of anecdotes and legends about this world from Old Pete, in essence, he was quite unfamiliar with this world.

This also meant that he was unable to search the entire world to find Yang's relatives.

Therefore, the remaining 20,000 yuan can only be kept by him temporarily.

Suppressing his unhappiness, Steve took Miss Poppy to a tavern called "Kick the Orc's Head" and opened the door carelessly.

"Boss, prepare ten lunches for my beloved Miss Poppy!"

In the bustling tavern, a group of dwarves who were drinking turned their heads and looked towards the door;

The huge door frame, which was built according to the height of a giant, was blocked tightly. A fat man about 12 feet (4 meters) tall was leaning sideways, sucking in his abdomen and lifting his hips, trying to squeeze in when the door frame was not paying attention.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of wood under the weight, Miss Poppy, with a simple and honest face, squeezed into the tavern and grinned at the many dwarves. Her sharp white teeth looked particularly terrifying under the light of the chandelier.

The next second, an ear-shattering roar was heard.

Apparently, some of the dwarves had gotten so drunk that they had forgotten they were in Thorium Hall.

Seeing this, Steve immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the drunkard.

"Calm down, brother! This is Thorium Hall, we are not intruders!"

......

It took Steve a while to deal with the drunkards, and he took Bobby to find an empty seat;

"What to eat?"

"Long ears stewed in red wine." Bobby opened his mouth without thinking.

"No!" Steve pounded the table and glanced at the menu behind the counter.

There were very few dishes on the wooden menu, but an alarming number of drinks.

After looking at it for a long time, he finally said to Miss Poppy, who could not read:

"Charcoal grilled yak legs, charcoal grilled yak waist, charcoal grilled yak tenderloin, charcoal grilled yak...

Damn! Forget it! Boss, grill two yaks for us!"

Hearing this, the dwarf boss hiding behind the bar asked softly, "Did you do it?"

“It’s all done!”

“Uncooked!”

Hearing this, Steve glanced at Ms. Bobby, whose saliva was flowing down the corners of her mouth onto the table, and replied helplessly:

"It's okay to bring... some blood."

Soon, two huge yaks that looked roasted were carried up amid the grunting of the dwarf men.

On the side, Steve carefully stood between the dwarf and Bobby, fearing that this guy would habitually put the dwarf into his mouth.

Two huge yaks were carried onto the table. Bobby looked at Steve beside him expectantly and started eating under his affirmative gaze.

Looking at Miss Bobby who was eating and drinking to excess, Steve narrowed his eyes like an old fox.

Bobby!

I will provide you with delicious food and drink every day, but you must work like a slave for me!

When the time comes, I’ll knock on the orcs’ heads, the dwarves will ride on goats, and I’ll have to ride you!

Thinking of this, Steve decided to buy some steel ingots later to equip his beloved mount [Miss Poppy] with a set of equipment, and at the same time test out the new abilities he gained after becoming an alchemist.

Two huge yaks didn’t last half an hour in Bobby’s mouth;

Bobby stuffed the last bloody beef leg bone into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, and patted his round belly with satisfaction.

"Steve, I'm full."

Hearing this, Steve drank the mead in the glass in one gulp and stood up to pay.

After eating and drinking, Steve took Bobby to the market where the dwarves traded and bought nearly two thousand pounds (about 900 kilograms) of refined steel ingots.

After returning to the palace of the Dwarf King, he quickly applied for a place to live - a piece of open space halfway up the mountain, away from the lava river;

Because the dwarves need high temperatures that can melt steel when forging, and they need to stay away from lava rivers, it is not popular among the dwarves at all;

Walking out of the Dwarf King's palace, Steve couldn't help but sigh:

"The dwarf is really generous to his friends. He just gave away a 100-square-meter space."

Little did they know that the dwarves, who were rarely willing to deal with humans with short life spans, highly approved of Steve's act of traveling thousands of miles to deliver the pension;

Loyalty and integrity are the second factors that dwarves use to judge whether a person is a good person;

As for the first factor, it is...beard...

Carrying a refined steel ingot weighing nearly one ton, Bobby followed Steve's footsteps with difficulty and came to an open space closer to the city wall and farther away from the lava river.

Looking around, this place is as flat as a terraced field cultivated on the hillside;

There are only a few empty houses around this piece of land, and a closer look reveals that they are abandoned.

Apparently the dwarves didn't like this place without fire.

But for Steve, this location is quite advantageous. The clanging sound of iron hammering cannot disturb here, and being far away from the lava river also makes it less hot here.

He sat down at a random place, put down [Alex], and signaled Bobby to put the steel ingot in front of him. Steve then took out a hard steel ingot from the basket;

The moment his palm touched the ingot, a rather strange emotion came over him;

Like joy, more like the satisfaction of holding something indescribable...

He had a feeling that he could manipulate the steel ingot in his hand at will.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he pressed his thumb lightly, and what happened next completely shocked the curious Bobby.

In Steve's hands, this extremely hard steel ingot was like soft mud, allowing him to flatten it or roll it into a ball.

Soon, an unsharpened one-handed sword appeared in Steve's hand.

As his twisted thumb and index finger passed over the blade, an extremely sharp sword appeared in his hand;

On the side, Bobby was completely dumbfounded. He stupidly picked up a steel ingot from the basket and hit himself on the forehead.

"Dang~" a muffled sound;

Bobby's eyes were wandering as he looked at the hard steel ingot in his hand in disbelief. The worldview he got from his father was completely shaken.
