Chapter 675: Iron Mountain of the dwarves Part 1
Translator: 549690339
As the ship traveled along the Ironhorse River, three-mast or five-mast cargo ships could be seen in the surroundings from time to time. These ships were all deeply submerged, and one could tell with a single glance that the cargo they were carrying was extremely heavy.
They were not far from the dwarven Iron Mountain’s dock. He believed that these ships were all used to trade with the dwarves, and most of their ships were carrying iron.
When people talked about the dwarfs ‘ironware, the first thing that came to mind was weapons. In fact, the dwarfs had many kinds of ironware. Among all kinds of daily necessities, the dwarfs made almost all the places that could be used with ironware.
Besides, the dwarves did not only make ironware. They could make all kinds of metal items, such as gold and silver. These items were very famous on the continent, but the most famous was their ironware.
The weapons produced by the dwarves were simple and unadorned, but the precious metal items such as gold and silver were gorgeous and could be called works of art. Even the elves, who were known for their art production, couldn’t compare to the dwarves in this aspect. They seemed to have a natural intuition for metal, a terrifying intuition.
Of course, after excavating a few Iron Mountains, the dwarves understood that no matter how big the iron Mountains were, they would run out one day. Therefore, they started to take the route of recycling. If you wanted to trade with them, you had to trade with some scrap metal.
Therefore, whether it was the ships that went to the dwarf’s Iron Mountain or the ships that came out of the dwarf’s Iron Mountain, there might be metal on them.
Zhao Hai knew about this rule of the dwarfs. However, the dwarfs didn’t necessarily ask you to trade with them for metals. There were already some merchants who specialized in recycling metals with the dwarfs. It could be said that the development of the dwarfs was much better than that of the orcs.
Paradise slowly stopped at the dock of the dwarves. The dock was very large, and there were many ships. However, Zhao Hai took a look and saw that most of the ships were from the noble families of the stupa Empire. He could not see any ships from other countries.
Zhao Hai was looking at a group of people on the dock curiously. They seemed to be the managers of the dock. They were not tall, with the tallest being only about 1.5 meters and the shortest being only 1.3 meters. However, they were very strong, wearing iron armor and carrying a hammer on their backs.
This hammer was not like the ancient China war hammer that Zhao Hai remembered. It looked more like a hammer used for forging. However, it was very big and each hammer seemed to be dozens of pounds.
These dwarves were wearing iron armor and hammers. Each of them was carrying at least 50 kilograms of weight. However, they didn’t seem to care. It was obvious how powerful they were.
This was Zhao Hai’s first time seeing dwarves. They all had brown hair, beards, and red faces, as if they were drunk.
After the ship was parked, Zhao Hai and Juno disembarked from the ship. Immediately, two dwarves walked over. These two dwarves walked in front of Zhao Hai’s Juno and bowed slightly to the two of them, ” “Are the two of you here to do business?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” that’s right. I’m Zhao Hai from the Buda family. I’m here to do business with my dwarf friends. This is my first time here. This is the head of the Jufeng family. &Quot;
When the dwarf heard Zhao Hai say that the person beside him was the head of the Juno family, his expression immediately changed. He bowed respectfully to Juno and said, ” &Quot; so it’s patriarch Juno. I’ve been impolite. Please! &Quot;
They did not seem to notice Zhao Hai’s self-introduction and completely ignored him. Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly.
The Buda family was a well-known family on the continent. However, there were only two possibilities for these dwarves to treat him this way. One was that they had never heard of Zhao Hai’s name. The other was that they did not like him.
Juno cast a glance at the dwarf and calmly said, ” “This is Mr. Zhao Hai, the head of the Buda family. He is my friend.”
It was a simple sentence, but the dwarf was stunned. He turned to look at Zhao Hai, but his eyes were not very friendly. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “The Buda family? Is it the BU da family of the Rosen Empire?”
“That’s right. Is there a problem?” Zhao Hai nodded.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve had any merchants from the Roson Empire. The last time they came, they bought us some moldy bamboo rice,” the dwarf said.
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard the dwarf’s words. He then smiled and said, ” “Oh, really? May I ask if he is from the Buda family?”
The dwarf didn’t expect Zhao Hai to ask this question. At the same time, he understood what Zhao Hai meant. He suddenly laughed and said, &Quot; alright, I like people like you. Patriarch Zhao Hai, please! &Quot;
Juno nodded in approval. If Zhao Hai had defended the merchants from the Rosen Empire, the dwarves might have been able to do business. However, Zhao Hai’s question had made the dwarves very happy.
Zhao Hai realized that the dwarves were different from the orcs. The orcs were direct, but they weren’t as smart as the dwarves. The dwarves were direct too, but they were smarter because they had interacted with humans more.
