Chapter 128 The Rage of the Dwarves (Ten More!)
"You want to recruit dwarves to work for you in your domain?"
After hearing Tang En's reason for coming, Elder Durum frowned.
"Can't you?"
Tang En was a little nervous. Before he came, he thought about how difficult it would be. If dwarves could be easily recruited, there would not be so few dwarf craftsmen in the human world.
"It's not impossible, but..."
Elder Durum spread his hands: "To tell you the truth, although our family can trade with adventurers, we don't have a good impression of humans."
"When you humans face other races, you almost never let the other party feel your kindness. On the contrary, greed, insidiousness, cunning, and all kinds of malice are always easy to see."
"Therefore, I am afraid no one will accept your proposal."
Durum was very unfavorable to Tang En's idea.
Tang En thought about it, and suddenly asked: "What about you? Regarding the fact that I hired them to work, what is your attitude, or the senior management of the dwarf kingdom, to the dwarves going to work and live in the human kingdom? Support? Or oppose? "
Those people's thoughts are easy to say. Tang En believes that as long as they know how generous the reward is, there will be dwarves who are willing to go. Compared with this point, Elder Durum's opinion is actually more important.
If the high-level dwarves object to this kind of thing, then I am afraid that many things will not be able to proceed smoothly.
"Our opinion?"
Elder Durum chuckled and said, "Of course we don't care about that much. This is their freedom. If they want, we won't stop them. Of course, if they are discriminated against and tortured in the human world, we will also We will welcome them home without hesitation."
"That's enough."
Tang En smiled: "I am confident that I can convince them."
"Well, for the sake of that bottle of fine wine, we will hold a beer party tonight, and it is estimated that people from the whole village will come. It is up to you whether you can attract them or not."
Elder Durum went back to the house after finishing speaking: "I'll go back first, you guys also think about how to persuade them."
"Thank you for your help."
It was already an unexpected surprise to get the support of Elder Durum. Tang En thought that they would be very exclusive and would not accept such a proposal at all.
Brian curled his lips and said, "Hmph, you are still grateful to him for being cheated. This old guy is not as loyal as he looks, and he is very cunning."
"Tricked?"
"certainly."
Brian said angrily: "In fact, our dwarves have been in a state of poverty for a long time. Every year, many people are hungry and in a state of not getting enough to eat and drink. Slag Village is no exception, so he is also very anxious to solve it. This trouble, now that you say you want to recruit dwarves to work, it means that more than half of the food problem in the village has been solved, and of course he supports it."
"Wait! I can understand not having enough to eat, but what does it mean to not have enough to drink?"
"There is not enough food to eat, and of course there is not enough wine to brew..."
Tang En's eyes widened: "I can't even get enough to eat, yet you still dare to use food to make wine!?"
"certainly !"
Brian said proudly: "We can go hungry without eating, but we can't stop drinking!"
"You..." The corners of Tang En's mouth twitched endlessly, "It is thanks to the protection of the goddess that the dwarves can survive until now."
"Of course!"
Brian was not ashamed but proud, he laughed and said: "Even if you can't recruit here, don't be afraid, the Wine Festival will open in a few days, then we will go directly to Forge Hammer, there are more people, and the chance is even greater Some."
"Brewfest?"
"Yes, it's the annual event of the Dwarf Kingdom."
Brian's face was full of nostalgia: "Only in those few days, all kinds of fine wines will be provided without limit, and everyone can drink freely, so every dwarf will not miss the grand event that day, and even the dwarf friends next to him will come to join in. join in the fun."
Tang En rubbed his chin. If the Wine Festival is really so lively, then he can't miss it. Not only can he recruit dwarves, but he can also recruit gnomes. Where can he find such a rare opportunity?
Soon at night, after getting the news of the beer party, the dwarves started to get busy. They built a huge bonfire on the square in the center of the village, with a circle of tender and juicy meat steaks next to them. After the bonfire grilled, However, after a short while, a rich aroma was emitted, even Tang En, who was already tired of eating barbecue, moved his index finger.
However, the other dwarves were unmoved, and all stared at Elder Durum with their green eyes.
"What are you doing!? Why are you looking at me!?"
Elder Durum yelled: "Didn't we agree on a beer party? I gathered you all together, why is no one bringing beer?"
"Elder Durum..."
A dwarf said faintly: "Last time you used this trick to trick the rest of us into drinking..."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
Elder Durum decisively began to play dumb.
"The last time who told me that the beer party is ready, the bonfire is missing, and I have to chop firewood for a long time?"
Another dwarf said faintly: "What you told me is that you are short of meat, let me work in the mountains for a while..."
"Tell me that beer is not enough, there are still a few barrels..."
"That's what I said too..."
"Why don't I remember this happening?"
Elder Durum looked puzzled: "You must have made a mistake! That's right!"
"How dare you deny your account now, you old bastard!"
Several dwarves around were enraged immediately, rushed forward and wrestled with Elder Durum, while the other dwarves shouted loudly when they saw this, it seemed that they were also very emotional when they found out that there was no wine to drink.
"Ahem! You bastards! It's going to be the Wine Festival soon, and you're still staring at my poor inventory!?"
Originally, Tang En wanted to take out the prepared wine to help out, but after hearing what Elder Durum said, he sat back and entered the theater mode.
"That's right!"
Several dwarves supported Elder Durum and threatened, "If you don't take out your stock today, we'll burn you!"
Another dwarf said with a pitiful look: "I believe that the goddess will forgive our sins..."
"Damn! Alright alright! You bastards won! I got it! Put me down!"
When Elder Durum saw that no one was helping him, he knew that what he did last time was indeed too much and had already provoked public anger, so he had no choice but to agree.
Then he reluctantly took them. He took out all the stocks he secretly hid, and the dwarves in Slag Village cheered, but only Elder Durum's heart was bleeding.
Fortunately, that bottle of wine was saved... As long as there is that bottle of wine, once sold, hehe...
Elder Durum pretended to wipe away his tears, and just wanted to say something, but found that other people were already scrambling to grab beer, and he was furious: "Go away! I should come first for my stock!"
However, no one cared about him at all, they pressed him to the ground and beat him violently in minutes, and then continued to fight for beer.
"Try it."
Brian grabbed a glass of beer for Tang En: "Pair it with dwarf-style barbecue, it has a special flavor."
"oh oh……"
Tang En looked at the disgraced Elder Durum with pity, and asked, "Bryan, is this a characteristic of your dwarves?"
"he?"
Brian looked disdainful: "Don't pay attention to him, if he didn't do a lot of evil, how could he be the elder?"
Brian's words suddenly blocked Dunn's brain, and he couldn't turn his thoughts around.
"What's the meaning?"
"what do you mean?"
"Doing a lot of evil, and the relationship with being an elder."
Tang En asked with some difficulty: "Don't the dwarves only become elders if they are elders with high morals?"
"Who did you hear that from?"
Brian looked surprised: "The elder is either an idiot who can't do something, or someone who provoked public anger will be recommended as an elder and punish him to serve everyone. People who are capable are busy, how can they have the time to take care of it?" Those trivial things."
"So, don't look at the prestige of the word "elder", in fact, the main thing is to deal with the affairs between the neighbors, such as someone's hammer lost, someone's window is broken and so on. A megaphone."
"In addition, as I told you in the afternoon, the grain production in the village is insufficient. If anyone's family has no grain, they can find the elders, and then he will be responsible for coordinating and borrowing some grain from other families to support. His main work is usually That's all."
Tang En was dumbfounded, but hearing what Brian said, he was speechless.
Isn't this the same virtue as the neighborhood committee aunts on earth!
It completely overturned Tang En's understanding of the word elder!
After all the dwarves drank the beer, the atmosphere finally became really lively. Some dwarves happily sat there drinking and chatting at the top of their voices, while others were excited to drink and danced around the bonfire. Even those dwarf women who look thick and sturdy are no exception.
Brian winked at Tang En: "If you want to recruit them, now is the best opportunity."
Tang En understood, stood up and coughed lightly.
However……
No one paid him any attention.
"Hahaha……"
Brian laughed wildly. Just when Tang En was about to become angry, he jumped up and shouted: "Everyone be quiet! My big human brother has something to say!"
Brian's voice finally quieted down the carnival dwarves.
Tang En didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately expressed his desire to recruit the dwarves to work, and then looked at the dwarves expectantly.
The dwarves looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, but no one responded to him for a long time.
"Working for humans..."
"I'm not used to it..."
"Will you lie to us?"
"Probably not, after all, he is Brian's friend."
"But he is a human being, and he is going to the human world..."
"Sure enough, forget it..."
"yes……"
Hearing their discussions, Tang En was disappointed. As expected by Elder Durum, these dwarves had great doubts about going to work in the human world.
"Don't be disappointed, big brother, don't forget that there is also a wine festival."
Brian comforted Dunn and said, "There will definitely be more—"
"Boom boom boom!"
Bursts of explosions suddenly resounded through the night sky!
