Chapter 561 It Has to Be the Dwarf Brother
To be honest, Rorschach was somewhat unhappy with the conversation with the elf delegation, from beginning to end. If it was just Hill visiting, he would be happy to take her around.

"I hope the dwarves aren't as awkward as those long-eared ones." Rorschach sighed. He didn't know whether it was Andre's intention or an accidental arrangement that the reception room for the dwarf delegation was right next to the elves.

"Master Rorschach, you are here! I am Ruge Lu Shivano, the senior diplomatic commissioner of the Dwarf Confederation, and I am here to visit you."

Fortunately, it wasn't Singrev, and it wasn't the kind of scene in the animation series where the old characters appear one by one at the end and Rorschach was so annoyed by the elves that he started to complain about himself.

The diplomatic attaché had a middle name of "Lu", which was a symbol of nobility. The dwarves Singer and Johnson, who Rorschach had met before, were both commoners, so they naturally did not have this name. Similar noble middle names include "Hammer", "Pickaxe", "Gold", etc.

"Since Mr. Schwano is a diplomat, he shouldn't have come to Byrne to find me." In order to avoid further embarrassment, Rorschach took the initiative to practice Tai Chi.

"Haha, don't think we are all rough people, we can be delicate in some places."

Where is it detailed?
The dwarf, not knowing what Rorschach was thinking, patted his chest proudly and said, "We found out everything before we came here. You are the one who keeps your word here, Master Rorschach.

"Not only that, we already knew the elves were coming to find you."

"really."

Ruger showed his undisguised disdain: "Are they always talking about the survival of the race? Playing the pity game, and then asking Mr. Rorschach for help?
"Other than that, there's nothing substantial to offer."

Hmm. With that said, Rorschach came to his senses. He sympathized with the tragic fate of the elves, especially the gray elves. He also felt sorry for the village that had been destroyed in the Black Forest.

When Hill herself talked about her identity as a princess, Rorschach was a little shaken, thinking that it was too heavy for her to bear the fate of the entire clan alone.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that all you got is a wooden mask and a blank check?

Shit, if I really agree to them, then Rorschach will be even kinder than the open source god Ma Sheng, and the ticket to Mars is the real empty ticket.

Looking at Rorschach's expression, Ruger had a triumphant smile on his face: "Ha, they are always like this. When they are in power, they are high and mighty, pointing fingers at humans and us, criticizing us for not being environmentally friendly.

"Now that they are finally in such a miserable state, they are trying to win sympathy from everywhere. In fact, they are ruthless when it comes to pitting their own people. If they hadn't called themselves 'High Elves' and trampled on the Gray Elves, the Istani royal family wouldn't have been overthrown until today."

Andre, who came to the reception room to deliver wine, also said: "It is said that the wandering elves are restless when they settle down. They are unwilling to farm and prefer to do business. They have cheated many people in the past.

"When more elves settle here, they will become xenophobic and want to make the land that took them in their own. So, teacher, I suggest you control the number of long ears in the special zone.

"There are also many wandering gray elves who know some ancient witchcraft. It is very likely that the source of their power is the Mother Goddess."

How come you were born in Valois? That's fine. Since it can be verified by many parties, it means it's not groundless. It's just that this racial characteristic sounds a bit familiar.
Although it was a "diplomatic occasion", Ruger and his colleagues grabbed the bottle without hesitation and drank it in gulps: "Ah! Good wine, but it's a pity that it's not strong enough."

He used his handkerchief to elegantly wipe the wine off his beard. "This little brother is right. Elves are like this."

After the dwarf and Andre enjoyed being knights of their race, the reception room was filled with lively atmosphere. Rorschach silently used magic to enhance the sound insulation and decided to bring the topic back on track: "Since you despise the elves' behavior, what price are you and the Confederation you represent willing to pay for the ship ticket?"

"Tickets? We don't want tickets!" Mr. Ruger became more cheerful after drinking. Although he was quite open-minded to begin with, his voice shook the whole room:

"We want to buy your technology! I never thought that one day we would have to introduce it to humans. Speaking of which, the more our civil war goes on, the more miserable everyone becomes. When you humans fight, your technology level gets better and better, apart from other things."

The dwarves want the technology to build starships.

They are also troubled by the disaster caused by the resurrection of the Mother Goddess. Now many deep mining areas have experienced landslides and other accidents because the geology is abnormally active, and there are many mutated monsters and activated unknown creatures that threaten mining operations.

The Dwarf Confederation had just concluded a civil war and was troubled by these threats.

When the dwarves who were working with humans brought back information about the starship project, they immediately became excited:
"We need to find another place to mine! It's getting harder and harder to find mines in the main plane, and there's also Mother Earth, which is unbearable.

"It would be amazing if we could build a large ship that can travel through the stars. We could go to the Fire Plane, the bottom of the Water Plane, and other secondary planes. Hahahaha."

If it is teleportation magic, loss and capacity will be problems, especially since dwarves are not good at this kind of magic.

In the heyday of the dwarves in the past, they could dig everywhere and the mines were almost inexhaustible. They could also sail around in a small boat and rob the coastal villages of humans and elves if they came across them. Life was very good.

After the rise of the empire, their sphere of influence gradually shrunk to the northern tip of today's continent. Apart from the many hot springs and the ability to see the aurora, there was nothing special about it. The soil was frozen, and they had to compete with Istani for sea areas and fishing grounds, which was very frustrating.

After the civil war, here comes this vicious old woman named Mother Earth. We can’t live like this anymore!
So when the dwarves heard that a great human technical master had created a ship that could travel in the universe, was resistant to burning and divine power, and had incredible power, they were so excited that their furnace was about to explode that they took action immediately and came to politely ask for the price.

"Don't worry, we are not the downtrodden, shameless people like Long Ears. We can provide more good materials for Mr. Rorschach's industry. We can get you any alloy. No matter how difficult the parts are, we can find a way to make them for you."

He even said bluntly: "Everyone knows that the empire is failing. The Yankees in the North cannot beat the Yankees in the South. Especially when a child is the emperor, he is a fool, and the people who surround him are also fools."

Ruger suddenly remembered that Rorschach was not very old and was still a child by the standards of the dwarves. He quickly added, "Uncle Rorschach is an exception. You are the uncle, and you are all like this." He raised his short, stout thumbs up.

It was refreshing to talk with the old guys because they gave so much. Although Rorschach still said that he would discuss it with other elders, he privately told Ruger that he would do his best to ensure the success of the cooperation in the Senate.

Not only that, Rorschach also mentioned that a large number of dwarf engineers were involved in the original design of the engine. This is not called technology introduction, it is clearly "joint self-research"!
The hearty laughter of Ruge Lu Shivano and the other dwarves, even with the sound insulation of Rorschach, still penetrated a little and was heard by the elf elders lying on the wall.

"Hey, these dwarfs are so arrogant. Looks like we have to escalate the situation." Lao Deng stood up with the help of the wall.

They walked up to Hill tremblingly and said, "Your Highness, for the sake of the whole family, please sacrifice yourself for once!"
