lord and his dragon

Negrim found the easiest way to approach the dwarves. Even a dwarf king would never refuse a wine merchant after several days without drinking, even if he was a human.

But obviously, the dwarf king still didn't have a good impression of him, but he also asked Hammer and others to help him move the wine into the house, and allowed the three of Negrim to come in and talk.

There were also many dwarves who refused to disperse because the carts of wine surrounded the dwarf king's house, but the dwarf king was too lazy to care about them. Instead, he sat on the floor of his house and couldn't wait to pick up a barrel of wine. Gudong Gudong poured it up.

Iron Hammer and the other dwarves were drooling at the sight, but they didn't have the nerve to bring up drinking matters. After all, they had already drunk a carload last night, and they were too embarrassed to take advantage of it now.

After the dwarf king finished drinking a bucket of wine, he let out a long and loud belch, and roared, "It's comfortable!"

Seeing this, Iron Hammer hurriedly said: "I told you, this human being is a good person, he just wanted to talk to us about selling wine, you must not kill him, leader!"

Hearing this, the dwarf king snorted, looked at Negrim, and said, "I see, annoying!"

But then, the dwarf king remembered something again, frowned and looked at Hammer and the others, and said, "Wait, you are not going to the orc clan—"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" the hammer immediately raised a finger at the dwarf king, gesticulating wildly on his mouth.

The dwarf king was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this matter should be regarded as a secret, but he couldn't say it casually in front of humans. He coughed and closed his mouth, and then winked at the hammer to show that he understood. Let's talk about this later.

The small movements of the dwarves were the same as their "small voices", they were completely undisguised, and Nigrim saw them all, and did not intend to remind them, but smiled and said to the Hammer Seven: "Thank you very much, If it weren't for your willingness to help, I would definitely not be able to meet the dwarf king, and this business would fall into my hands!"

Hammer and the others seemed very happy when they heard this, because it was indeed their credit, and instead of being shy and humble, they all raised their chests proudly, and Hammer grinned and said, "We are friends, right?" I should help you!"

The dwarf king saw that they were so confused by the human's few words, he couldn't help but let out a breath from his nose, and let out a heavy "hum".

Seeing this, Negrim smiled again: "I believe that the dwarf king, as the leader of the dwarves, must be a good dwarf who keeps his promise, Hammer, thank you, but according to human rules, when we discuss business, there will only be Two people are here, Abel means different things to me, can I ask Weiss to accompany you out for a while?"

Although the dwarves were not very happy that Negrim asked them to go out, he was both polite and sincere. The dwarves couldn't find a reason to get angry for a while, so they had to be coaxed out by Weiss with a dazed expression. .

The next thing Negrim will discuss with the dwarf king is of course not just the so-called wine business. If they don't send a few dwarves away, no matter how stupid they are, they will definitely hear that Negrim was lying earlier. The dwarves have a stubborn personality. Once they feel that they have been deceived, they may never trust Negrim again. Not to mention the reputation of Negrim in the dwarves, even now, they may not be able to negotiate with the dwarf king. It is estimated that the first to conflict with him is the seven dwarves headed by Hammer.

The Dwarf King was not impressed and the seven dwarves came to persuade them, but if the Hammer Seven thought they were liars, the Dwarf King would not stop them.

The dwarf king didn't think so much at all. Although he sneered at the so-called human rules and didn't want to pay attention to them, he felt that the Hammer and the others would bother him because of the human beings, so when Negrim sent them out, There is no hindrance.

After clearing the field, apart from himself, only Negrim and Abel were left in the dwarf king's room.

The dwarf king glanced at Negrim and said dissatisfiedly: "For the sake of the wine you brought, I trust you for the time being. How do you plan to sell it?"

Negrim was not angry because of his attitude, but repeated the conditions he had offered to Hammer and the others. After hearing this, the dwarf king was also stunned and asked, "Is it really worth selling so much?" ?!"

Negrim nodded with a smile.

The dwarf king didn't want more, he was afraid that Negrim would go back on his word, so he immediately made a decision: "Then it's settled!"

Seeing this, Negrim sighed along the way: "You are so straightforward, Hammer said earlier that you would reject me."

The dwarf king couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "Why did I reject you?"

Seeing that he followed the conversation, Negrim followed the lead and said, "Oh, I don't know. After I told him that I wanted to cooperate for a long time, he became a little bit wrong."

As soon as the dwarf king heard the words "long-term cooperation", he understood why Hammer had such a reaction. However, unlike Hammer, he was full of confidence in his crusade plan, so he said indifferently: "So it's because of this, don't worry! Long-term cooperation is not difficult. Although our dwarves can't continue to forge weapons now, the matter will be resolved soon. Just rest assured!"

Negrim immediately made a surprised and curious expression, and asked, "I can't forge weapons anymore? Why?"

Negrim originally wanted to induce the dwarf king to speak out about his intention to attack other races, and then coaxed him to hand over the dragon book by acting as if it was unnecessary, so that they could lift the curse. He is not a muscle, but he is very vigilant when it comes to matters of life and death. He glanced at Negrim defensively, and said unhappily: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't ask nonsense! Anyway, there will be weapons for you when the time comes." There you are!"

After hearing what he said, Negrim knew that he couldn't ask any more questions. No matter how clearly he explained the stakes, he wouldn't listen to him because of his dwarf personality. He would only think that Negrim He was deliberately inquiring about this matter, and then regarded Negrim as an enemy.

The dwarf king stared at Negrim with a look of indifference, which almost made Negrim want to let Abel do it directly, but soon, he suppressed this idea. Of course it was easy to do it. But it is not easy to convince the dwarves to him.

Negrim thought for a while, smiled again, and said, "Besides selling wine, I actually have other ideas, but I need your help to implement them. Would you like to hear them?"

The dwarf king was not interested in anything other than wine, and was about to refuse, but Negrim said: "If you are willing to listen, these carts of wine are considered gifts, and they are given to you directly, and you How about just thinking about it after listening to it, not necessarily agreeing?"

When the dwarf king heard this, his eyes became straight. He was still struggling with which weapons in the library to exchange for these wines. Now he was just wasting some time listening to this human being. He could get these wines for nothing. Isn't that a big fool!Immediately, he changed his attitude, and said very positively: "Say what you say, I will listen carefully! But you have to remember what you said, after you finish speaking, these cars of wine will belong to me!"

Negrim nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course, and what I told you is also good for the dwarves."

Sure enough, the dwarf king pretended to be listening.

Negrim said: "Actually, this matter is also very simple for you. The border forest is very rich in resources. The dwarves are indeed the most important race for humans, but similarly, other races also have their own Ability, I can also benefit from them, but the problem is that they don’t believe in humans very much. I hope that after the business with you is stabilized, you can help introduce it and tell other races that I sincerely want Doing business with everyone will make everyone's life more convenient."

The dwarf king's expression was fine when he heard the first half, but his expression gradually changed after he heard it.

Negrim naturally knew why he reacted this way, but he didn't show it on his face, but persuaded him: "This matter is not bad for the dwarves. After the establishment of transactions with other races, my family will go to the The Boundary Forest will send more resources, send more receptions, and make bigger deals, and the reputation forged by the Dwarves will spread farther and farther, and by then the entire continent will know how powerful the Dwarves are!"

Of course, the dwarf king wanted his race to be famous, and Hammer and the others were coaxed by this trick, but just as he was moved, he recalled the curse and found that what Negrim said was impossible in reality Achievement.

Without driving other races out of the forest, the dwarves would have no way to forge weapons, let alone do big business!

Seeing this, Negrim added more embellishment: "You don't know how many kinds of bars there are in the human world?"

The dwarf king was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Are there many kinds of wine?!"

Negrim doesn't usually drink alcohol, and his understanding of this aspect is average, so he can only say roughly: "Of course, in addition to wine made from fruits, there are also wines made from grains. There are different ways to make wine. The taste is naturally different, some are stronger, some are more fragrant, and some have bubbles. If it is not because the preparations are not so thorough this time, and the taste and aroma of the wines have their own advantages, I can come up with dozens of them. Come on, you haven't tried any of these, have you?"

Of course the dwarf king hadn't tasted it!His saliva was about to flow from what Negrim said, and it was so painful that he scratched his liver. He got up, stared at a pair of copper bell-sized eyes, looked at Negrim pitifully, and asked : "Can't you sell us these wines later?"

Negrim pretended to be regretful and said: "I am also sorry, but my status in the family is not high, otherwise I would not have to take the risk to find business in the marginal forest. Will allow me to bring so many kinds of wine here to sell."

These words are full of loopholes, but it is enough to fool the dwarf king who does not understand humans. He seems to want to help Negrim kill all those who oppose him in his family, but he can't kill him, so he can only look forward to it. Asked: "Isn't it enough for the dwarves to do business with you?"

Negrim looked at him sadly, and said, "I'm really sorry, but it's not enough."

Hearing this answer, the dwarf king couldn't control his emotions at all. He sat down on the ground, extremely depressed.

Negrim asked, "Is there really no way you can promise me?"

When the dwarf king heard this question, he was so entangled that he wanted to kill himself. He really couldn't agree to Negrim, but he really wanted to taste all the wine that Negrim said!God, why did this curse fall on the dwarves?How nice it would have been if Negrim had been around a few years earlier!

If it wasn't for Negrim and the others poking here, the dwarf king would probably be rolling on the ground in annoyance right now.

Negrim saw that the dwarf king's emotions were almost agitated, so he sat down beside the dwarf king. The dwarf king was paralyzed on the ground at this time, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost all his dreams, and naturally Don't care to drive this human being away.

Negrim endured the strange smell coming from the dwarf king, heaved a long sigh, and said, "It seems that you really can't promise me, alas, I won't hide anything now, My status in the family is not high, everyone looks down on me, this business is actually my only chance to turn around, I really want to complete it..."

The dwarf king's eyes moved, looking towards Negrim.

He doesn't like humans, but at least for now, Negrim's despair and depression are common to him, and they even have the same goal, which makes the dwarf king can't help but get close to this human being, and can't help it. I started to trust each other a little bit.

Negrim also turned his head and exchanged a glance with the dwarf king. This glance made him sure that his strategy had succeeded.

Negrim sighed again, and he seemed to say unintentionally: "Actually, you are also quite entangled, I can see that you really like wine, I really don't understand why you are unwilling to agree to help me What about it? Is there any trouble? Maybe you can tell me about it, and we can think of a way together, one more person, one more way of thinking."

If the dwarf king had heard this just now, he would have directly killed Negrim as an enemy, but now that he heard this, he felt that the other party sincerely wanted to solve the problem for him, because no matter what, the other party His goal is just to complete this business that is beneficial to both parties, and he has no malice towards the dwarves.

Should I tell him about it?Will he really have a way?The dwarf king stared blankly at Negrim for a long time, trying to turn his insufficient brain, thinking about the bad consequences if he told this human about the matter.

In the end, he concluded no.

If Negrim heard the news, the worst case would be that the other party would pass the news to the other three races, but in fact the attitude of the other three races towards humans was clearer than anyone else, and Negrim would not Had that opportunity to tell them that they would be killed or driven away as soon as they approached.

But on the contrary, he has not been in contact with humans for a long time, just like he doesn't even know that humans have invented so many kinds of wine, maybe humans will have a way to lift the curse that he doesn't know?

The dwarf king's expression changed back and forth, but he finally let go under Negrim's "sincere" gaze.

"This matter starts with the curse that happened three months ago."

The experience of the dwarves is similar to that of the other three races, but no matter how pitiful the dwarf king said, Negrim, who has seen the tragedy of the centaurs, does not think that their invasion plan for the other three races is a matter of course. He just quietly listened to the dwarf king's story, and then asked: "So the way to drive away the other three races is written in the dragon book?"

Unlike the situation of the orcs, the dwarf king not only knew that the book was made of dragon skin, but he also knew some dragon language from the classics left by the dwarves in the past, so he managed to find it from the book. The so-called "lifting the curse" method.

After Negrim finished asking, the dwarf king was silent for a while, but finally told the truth: "It's not just about driving them away, we need enough undead of intelligent creatures to lift this curse."

Negrim's expression suddenly changed.

The dwarf king seemed to have opened up his words, and he didn't have so many scruples. He looked at Negrim with complicated eyes and said, "We originally wanted to start a war against humans, but after so many years, humans are also better than before. It is much more powerful, we are not necessarily opponents, but we might as well target several other races we are familiar with, especially the elves, they are already very annoying, and no one looks down on their superior appearance."

Under normal circumstances, the dwarves actually plan to attack the elves who have a bad relationship with them first, and then attack the orcs or centaurs when the elves are almost dead and the undead are not enough, but there is no way. Even the Beastmen, if they don't want the news to leak out and the other party is prepared in advance, they still have to start with the Beastmen first.

As the dwarf king talked, he recalled the original situation. He said in a deep voice: "We don't like war. Even if there is no other way, I hesitated for a long time, but suddenly one day, I opened my In the warehouse, I found that there were mountains of weapons and armor inside. They were no longer as shiny as they were when they were first built, and those at the bottom had even begun to rust and turned into scrap iron. At that time, I made up my mind. I made up my mind, they are all my masterpieces, they should not be reduced to this kind of fate, weapons should be used to kill people, armor should be used for war, I not only want to save the dwarves, but also save them!"

When Negrim heard this, he immediately understood. No wonder the dwarf king murmured such words before going to sleep. In fact, he himself knew that starting a war is not a good thing, but there is indeed a place that is perfect enough for them. The reason, that's why I keep talking about it to cheer myself up.

Negrim closed his eyes and said, "Weapons and armor are not for war, Dwarf King, they are for protection."

The dwarf king was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Negrim, who looked back at him quietly, and said, "Just like all dwarves have a burning heart of protection, the weapons you forged are also for Protect the things that are important to you."

"If I were a weapon, I would not be sad because of decay, on the contrary, I would be happy because it means that everything I want to protect is safe, and they don't need me when they don't want to use me. For a weapon, it's the best thing in the world."

The dwarf king opened his mouth and looked at Negrim blankly. He never thought that there would be such a statement, but how right this human being said, although no one has ever seen through it, but their dwarves have such a thing. A heart that wants to protect, of course the weapons they forged are also like this, the dwarf king even felt his chest became hot.

Not to mention the dwarf king, even Abel couldn't help casting a strange look at Negrim when he heard what Negrim said. Is his master such a gentle person?

Negrim said to the dwarves with firm eyes: "Don't let them down, you must not start a war because of it! And what is said in that book is not necessarily true, you can think about it, that book was used by someone He came to curse the dwarves. He wanted to harm you, so how could he really give you a way to lift the curse? In my opinion, he just wanted to take this opportunity to provoke a war between the four races and use the dwarves The power of the race, completely destroy the other three races!"

"Besides, during the war, the dwarves can't have no loss at all. They just want to wait until the war is over and the dwarves are the weakest, and then wipe you all out!"

The dwarf king had already been stunned by Negrim's words before, and he felt that what he said later made sense no matter how he heard it, and no matter how he thought about it, he thought it was right. After hearing it, he immediately got up from the ground, furious, He roared loudly: "How dare they?! How dare they use me to deceive me!!! This group of hateful villains, the waste in the furnace! They deserve to be burned to smoke!"

Negrim, who was also using the dwarf king to deceive the dwarf king, did not realize that he was being attacked at all, but made a look of indignation and nodded vigorously.

The dwarf king was walking around in the room, cursing loudly at the villain who cast the curse, but the dwarves blocking the outside couldn't hear what was going on inside. Iron Hammer and his other six companions were in a panic, afraid that Ni Where did Graham make the dwarf king angry? He was about to be beaten to death right now, so he wanted to rush in and save him.

Weiss quickly stopped them, fearing that something bad would happen if they went in, Hammer saw this and said angrily, "Aren't you worried about them at all?!"

Weiss hurriedly said: "There is nothing to worry about, Dwarf King... Uh, the Dwarf King will definitely not do anything, didn't he promise you guys!"

When the dwarves heard this, they all stopped. Under normal circumstances, the dwarf king would indeed keep his promise, but what if the boss gets involved?But Weiss said so, and they were too embarrassed to express their worries.

But Weiss had another thought in his mind.

Be sober, dwarves, with Abel's destructive power, not to mention that the dwarf king is really going to attack Alba, even if he shows a little hostility, he still uses you to rush in?This building has already blown up by you!
