Chapter 594: Offer - Part 1 (1/2)
Chief of the dwarf was much more polite than he thought. He thought the dwarves hated humans from how the guard reacted to him. With Chief Engin directly greeting him, he entered the settlement with no problem.
The underground settlement was a giant tunnel with many pillars supporting the ceiling. The surprise behind the settlement was the glowing pillar. Yes, the pillar was glowing bright, becoming the source of the lighting for the people living in the underground settlement.
The paved street connected the districts. This underground settlement was much larger than he thought. 'Don't tell me they built this in four days?' Because if the dwarves dwelled in this underground all the time, Aki should be able to find them much earlier.
Seeming to be able to read his mind, Chief Engin opened his mouth. ”Yes, we built this underground settlement in four days. We have never stayed in one place for too long. So we built many underground settlements in Gigante Forest.”
They were more like a nomadic tribe that comprised dwarves. ”But why don't you guys settle down in one place instead of moving around?” That was a good question. If they were capable of making this kind of settlement, they should work on territory and fortify that territory instead.
”Settle in one place? Are you joking with us?” Sadrigh replied in a high-pitch voice. ”Ah, you propose so you humans can catch us. As expected of humans, cunning.”
Tang Shaoyang glanced at the Sadrigh, the only dwarf that did not welcome him. The other dwarves, including the dwarves they met in the street, greeted them with a smile. Just this Sadrigh who was hostile toward them. He must have a beef with the humans.
”I mean, that's much a better choice for you guys if you excel in making an amazing settlement like this. You don't have to build any new settlement, but fortify that settlement instead. Rather than building the same thing over and over, searching for a new building to increase your defense is better.” Tang Shaoyang expressed his opinion to the dwarf.
That was what was in his mind when he heard the dwarves kept moving from one place to another.
Sadrigh was about to retort Tang Shaoyang, but Chief Egin glared at the dwarf. Chief Engin then smiled apologetically at Tang Shaoyang. ”I am sorry for Sadrigh's rudeness. He has a reason to hate humans, but that's not a good excuse to be rude to a guest we invited. A group of humans can't represent all of humanity, after all.”
”I agree with that, but humans need their cunning thought to survive, since we are born weak.” Tang Shaoyang did not deny that humans were cunning. That was how it was.
They kept chatting until they arrived at the main building where Chief Engin lived. He noticed one thing about this Dorgon Kingdom. They did not have guards? The only fighter he had seen was Mohren.
”I am sorry for our poor hospitality. We just settled up here for a short time. So we have little food.” Chief Engin smiled kindly as two female dwarves served two plates of fruits.
