People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 77 Hell!

Tang Sen had a good memory, he remembered that this was the second time that Sha Lin said he couldn't.

Sharin seemed to have something difficult to say, and he was unwilling to take the initiative to explain. He just said: "When you get to Eredron, you will know why I can't go with Thorin Oakenshield."

Naturally, Tang Sen didn't ask any further questions.

The next journey was quite smooth, and when the sun rose above their heads, the two had already reached the foot of the Blue Mountains.

The temporary residence of the Durin dwarves was in a natural cave. Shalin led Tang Sen through the torch-lit tunnel, and a wide hall appeared in front of him.

It can be clearly seen that there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere in the hall. There are stone load-bearing columns descending from the dome, deep into the dark underground, and around the load-bearing columns, there are scattered steps and houses.

You can see ropes and mine carts going up and down, cast iron furnace branches everywhere, and many dwarves are busy.

"Oh--"

Tang Sen let out a sigh. It was the first time he saw the dwarf-style buildings, and he was really shocked.

The temporary residence of Durin's family is more spacious and refined than he imagined. He thought that these dwarves just found a cave to live in casually. But after thinking about it, it seems normal. Been coming to the Blue Mountains for over 100 years.

With the dwarves' obsession with mining and building cities, only the current scale is already very shabby.

I'm afraid this was built up bit by bit by the dwarves' tireless efforts to make money.

This is also understandable, why Shalin said before that many dwarves think that it doesn't matter if they take root in the Blue Mountains. After all, although the lifespan of dwarves is very long, more than 100 years is enough to change many people's concept of hometown.

"If you see the palace in the Lonely Mountain, you will know what shock is." Shalin said proudly beside him: "Eridron is not even one percent of the Lonely Mountain!"

"Have you ever seen the palace in Lonely Mountain?" Tang Sen glanced at him.

"Of course not. I was not born when the Lonely Mountain fell." Sha Lin said, "But in my dream, I have been to the Lonely Mountain countless times."

He said longingly: "The majestic pillars that can't be seen at a glance, all the houses are made of the strongest fine iron, the domes are shining gems, just like the starry sky, and the gold...the gold there is invisible at a glance. Even if it takes a lifetime, it won't be enough."

"And an evil dragon sleeping in the pile of gold!" A voice suddenly interjected from the side, interrupting Sha Lin's dream.

Tang Sen looked over, of course it was a dwarf.

Like Sharin, the other party has fiery red hair and beard, but does not wear armor, just a brown coarse cloth coat, with a vegetable basket on the back, which contains all kinds of meat.

"I respect Sorin, but his obsession with the treasures of the Lonely Mountain has driven him mad. His adventure team is impossible to succeed, and it will only ruin the last bloodline of Durin's royal family." The dwarf's voice was rougher than Sharin's.

"Sharda." Sharin called out the dwarf's name, didn't mind the other person's words at all, cheered up, and said, "Look at what I'm wearing!"

"A thing that can't be called armor at all." Sharda said violently. The darkness in the cave prevented him from noticing the unique light contained in Mithril for a while, and he just shouted: "Sharin, why did you bring brought a human to Eredron?"

"Oh, this is Tang Sen! A traveler." Shalin quickly introduced: "He hired me before, but now, I have sworn allegiance to him."

"Swear?!" Sharda's beard stood up. He strode forward, pulled Shalin away, and stared at Tang Sen with his head up, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"What have you done! Human! How dare you trick the dwarves of Durin's clan!"

Tang Sen frowned slightly, not interested in explaining to the irritable dwarf, he just looked at Shalin.

Sharin quickly pulled Sharda away, took out a Mithril coin from his pocket, and stuffed it into his hand: "Look, what is this!"

Sharda was still angry and wanted to explode, but soon felt that the weight of the coin in his hand was not right, he looked suspiciously closer, and suddenly jumped up, causing the food in the basket behind his back to scatter all over the floor.

"Is this Mithril?"

Shalin laughed loudly and slapped the armor on his body: "That's right! That's the commission the traveler gave me!"

"And, there's this armor!"

"It's been said that this is not armor at all." Sharda muttered, "And, how can you swear to a human being, you are-wait!"

His eyes widened and he froze in place.

"Is this also Mithril?"

Seeing that Sharda finally found out, Shalin was content to enjoy the shocking expression on his face, and said with a big smile, "Tang Sen is a different traveler, he and the wizard come from the same place!"

"I will follow him and act as his guard and guide. When I come back this time, besides saying goodbye, I also want to find some companions to set off with."

"Tang Sen has promised that he will treat everyone the same as me!"

Sharda asked in a daze: "Can we also have Mithril Armor?"

"Of course not!" Sharin rolled his eyes: "I'm talking about mithril coins, one coin hires a dwarf for 33 days!"

Sharda's simple brain tried hard to digest the information Sharin said. While looking at the armor on Sharin's body, he looked at Tang Sen who had been silent all this time. After a long while, he finally nodded: "I understood!"

"As long as you swear allegiance to you, you can get Mithril armor, right?" He shouted at Tang Sen.

"." The corner of Tang Sen's mouth twitched. The dwarf's brain circuit was indeed simple and rough. He could only explain:

"I am happy to provide my followers with the necessary equipment, including armor and weapons, but my standards are not low, and not everyone can obtain my approval."

"Of course the dwarves can!" Sharda growled. "We can smash a group of Orcs with a single hammer! Even a troll, we dare to smash its toes!"

"...This sentence feels a bit familiar." Tang Sen looked at Sha Lin and said helplessly: "I don't doubt the dwarf's bravery, but I think we still need some time to get along."

"Is it dwarf hospitality to keep me standing at the door? Or am I not a guest to a dwarf?"

After being reminded by Tang Sen, Sarda finally realized this. He slapped his head and said, "Then invite this traveler to come with me. My house is not far away."

"You will have the opportunity to taste the special barbecue of the dwarves! Sharin and I are well-known in Durin for their craftsmanship!"

He had a rare moment of humor: "Of course, my barbecue is full of praise, and my sister's cooking, even the orcs run away after smelling it!"

"Then I have to look forward to it." Tang Sen said politely, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard some great news just now.

"Your...sister?" He stared sharply at Sharin.

"That's right, didn't you realize that our hair and beard are in the same line?" Sharda proudly patted Sharin's shoulder.

Tang Sen opened his mouth wide.

Tell me, this bearded dwarf with thick arms and a round waist who can kill a worg with a single hammer is actually a woman?

Faced with Tang Sen's shock, Sha Lin slightly lowered his head.

Hell, Tang Sen actually saw a hint of shyness in this dwarf's rough facial features!
