Chapter 129 (1/2)
”Do you want to recruit dwarves to work for you in your territory?”
After hearing Donne's intention, elder durum frowned.
”Can't you?”
Donne was a little nervous. Before he came, he thought about how difficult he would encounter. If he could easily recruit dwarves, there would not be so few dwarven craftsmen in the human world.
”Not bad, but...”
Elder durum spread his hand: ”to tell you the truth, although our family will trade with adventurers, we don't have a good impression of human beings.”
”You human beings almost never let each other feel your kindness when facing different races. On the contrary, greed, insidious, cunning, all kinds of malice are always easy to see.”
”Therefore, I'm afraid no one will accept your proposal.”
Durum was very negative about Donne's idea.
Donne was thoughtful and suddenly asked, ”what about you? What's your attitude, or the senior level of the dwarf Kingdom, towards the fact that I hired them to work and live in the human kingdom? Support or oppose?”
It's easy to say what those people think. Don believes that as long as they know how rich the reward is, there will be dwarves willing to go. Compared with this, elder durum's opinion is actually more important.
If the high-level dwarves disagree with this kind of thing, I'm afraid many things will not go smoothly next.
”Our opinion?”
Elder durum smiled and said, ”of course we won't care so much. This is their freedom. We won't stop them if they want. Of course, if they suffer discrimination and suffering in the human world, we will welcome them home without hesitation.”
”That's enough.”
Donne smiled. ”I'm confident I can convince them.”
”Well, for the sake of that bottle of wine, we'll hold a beer party in the evening. It's estimated that the whole village will come. It's up to you whether you can attract them at that time.”
Elder durum said and went back to the house: ”I'll go back first. Think about how to convince them.”
”Thank you for your help.”
It was a surprise to get the support of elder durum. Donne thought they would be very exclusive and completely refuse to accept this proposal.
Brian curled his lips and said, ”hum, you are grateful to him for being cheated. This old thing is not as loyal and cunning as he looks.”
”Cheated?”
”Of course.”
Brian said angrily: ”in fact, we dwarves have been in a state of long-term poverty. Every year, many people are hungry and in a state of insufficient food and drink. Cinder village is no exception, so he is also very anxious to solve this problem. Now you say that you want to recruit dwarves to work, it means that more than half of the food problem in the village has been solved. Of course, he supports it.”
”Wait! I can understand if I don't have enough to eat. What does it mean to drink enough?”
”There is not enough food to eat, and of course there is not enough wine to brew...”
Donne's eyes widened: ”you can't eat enough. How dare you take grain to make wine!?”
”Of course!”
Brian proudly said, ”we can skip eating when we are hungry, but we can't stop drinking!”
”You...” Don twitched at the corners of his mouth. ”The dwarves really owe their lives to the protection of the goddess.”
”Of course!”
Brian was not ashamed but proud. Hehe said with a smile, ”even if you can't recruit here, don't be afraid. The wine festival will open in a few days. At that time, we will go directly to forging hammer castle. There are more people there, and the opportunity is greater.”
”Wine Festival?”
”Yes, the annual event of the dwarf kingdom.”
Brian's face was full of memory: ”only in those days will we provide all kinds of wine without limit and let everyone drink freely, so every dwarf won't miss the event that day, and even the dwarf friends nearby will come to join in the fun.”
Donne rubbed his chin. If the wine festival is really so lively, he can't miss it. He can recruit not only dwarves, but also dwarfs. Where can he find such a rare opportunity?
Soon in the evening, after getting the news of the beer party, the dwarves began to get busy. A huge bonfire was built in the square in the middle of the village, with a circle of fresh and juicy meat chops inserted next to it. After the barbecue of the bonfire, it gave off a strong smell in a moment. Rao is tired of barbecue.
However, the other dwarves were not moved, but stared at elder durum with green eyes.
”What are you doing? What are you looking at me for?”
Elder durum shouted, ”didn't you agree to have a beer party? I gathered you all together. Why didn't anyone bring beer?”
”Elder durum...”
A dwarf youyou said, ”you cheated us out of our wine last time...”
”Eh? Is there such a thing?”
Elder durum decided to pretend to be stupid.
”Who told me last time that the beer party was ready, so I had a bonfire, which made me cut firewood for a long time?”
Another dwarf youyou said, ”what you told me is meat. Let me work in the mountains for a while...”
”What you told me is that there is not enough beer, and there are still a few barrels...”
”That's what you said to me...”
”Why don't I remember that?”
Elder durum looked puzzled: ”you must have remembered wrong! Yes, that's it!”
”You old bastard dare not admit it now!”
Several dwarves around suddenly became angry and rushed up to wrestle with elder durum, while other dwarves immediately shouted cheers. It seems that they were also very excited after they found that there was no wine to drink.
