Chapter 66 Barter
Bourne was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart relaxed a lot.He is indeed much more stable than those young and energetic fellows, but his character is still the standard dwarf character - bold and straightforward, but also very cautious in some things.

Dwarves like to deal with straight-forward people. Tang Zhao, who lives in the forest, likes to get straight to the point. The same is true for dwarves. They don't feel any subtle discomfort when communicating because of differences in personality.

"Our current situation is not very good. The supplies we can provide you are not very large. The dwarf weapons can barely provide some, and there is also a cart of gray bearded steel. Apart from this, we can't make more things. But I still have a plan now, and I need the help of the woodland residents, and we can get a lot of things after it is done."

Tang Zhao stared at the heavily armed dwarf with wide eyes for a while, then nodded slightly, indicating that Cynthia could continue to translate for him.

[It's not too late to talk about the plan in the future. Now our relationship has not reached the level of further cooperation. It's just a deal, tell your needs, and I'll make a bid, or vice versa. 】

The task Tang Zhao received from the unicorn Lorraine was to solve the troubles brought to him by the dwarves. Lorraine did not ask for any specific method, that is to say, as long as the method is not too extreme, Lorraine will be the same as the result. I won't get to the bottom of it.

Lorraine didn't want to see these dwarves, but Tang Zhao wanted to confess them all.

He is powerful in combat, with outstanding forging and rune skills. Apart from being grumpy and selfish to outsiders, there is nothing wrong with his personality. At present, he seems to be a very, very suitable candidate. If conditions permit, Tang Zhao does not mind going further with the other party. cooperate.

"That's good." It was reasonable for the invitation to be rejected, Bourne was not angry and dissatisfied, "I need a general map of this forest, and I also need to follow and some reasonable supplies. If possible, I hope to have some commonly used tool."

[I can accept all of these. I need some lighter weapons. In addition, I need the help of a dwarf craftsman who knows metal smelting. I can guarantee that his environment will be several levels safer than mine. All that should be provided will be the best we can provide. 】

Bourne nodded again and again: "It's a very reasonable request, and we can accept this condition. But before that, I want to ask again, what do you want that dwarf craftsman for, we dwarves are more or less They all have some special taboos, if you ask them all beforehand, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, which is beneficial to both of us."

[It's very simple, the maintenance of weapons and equipment and metal smelting. In human terms, this area is called the Cupronickel Forest. The nearby mineral reserves are very rich. I believe you dwarves can also deeply understand this. 】

There was nothing shameful about Tang Zhao, and he spoke out about his situation generously.

Goblins can't do heavy physical work, kobolds are born unable to withstand extremely high temperatures, and even bearmen or dryads have no relevant technical experience.

Without the help of professionals, the progress of their metallurgical development will be greatly slowed down. Now that the top professionals in the whole continent are standing in front of them, Tang Zhao certainly has no reason not to speak up.

After taking a few glances at Tang Zhao, Bourne nodded in agreement: "It's acceptable, let's start discussing the quantity of supplies in detail, and then I can start to prepare."

It was obvious that the dwarves were very anxious, and Tang Zhao understood them very well, so he cooperated very well. In less than half an hour, all the things that should be discussed were discussed.

Let a group of goblins go back to prepare supplies, while Tang Zhao himself stays for the time being. He still has to communicate with the dwarves about what happened. In fact, he is still at a loss until now.

After the most critical matter was resolved, Bourne also became more cheerful and talkative. During the communication with him, Tang Zhao finally understood the general process of the matter.

In short, they came from the Kingdom of Greybeard, a dwarven stronghold north of Insula.The Greybeard Kingdom was felled by hobgoblins and orcs in a surprise attack not long ago, and they are one of the survivors who broke out from the encirclement.

Because of this, they have all kinds of special circumstances, because it is extremely difficult for survivors like them to break out, and it is unrealistic to ask for more.

After figuring out the reason, Tang Zhao was not in a hurry—Lorraine is a very reasonable type. Now that the dwarves are bearing the kingdom's blood feud, he will not push too hard, and maybe he will actively support the actions of the dwarves .

Tang Zhao and Bourne both had their own affairs to deal with, and the two of them didn't chat for an hour or two. After talking for half an hour, they left each other to help their own affairs at hand.
-
Tang Zhao didn't bother Lorraine about the material matter, and he solved it by himself. Fortunately, there are not many dwarves, and he can still gather short-term supplies for hundreds of people. transactions to replenish consumption.

In the future, the scale of the transaction will become larger and larger, and one day it will reach the level of attention. Before that, Tang Chao needs to be prepared, at least to achieve the most basic self-sufficiency and basic self-defense capabilities before being noticed by humans .

Otherwise, there is no need for human beings to have any crooked thoughts and reduce the supply of supplies, and his side will collapse on its own in a short time.

If you don’t have enough strength, you will be deceived by people. This is the case in nature, and it is similar to getting along with intelligent creatures. Tang Zhao always believes that only if you are strong enough can you be safe, and everything else is an attic in the air.
