The boat was walking on the Tiema River, and three-masted cargo ships or five-masted cargo ships could be seen from time to time. These ships all drafted very deep water, and it was obvious at a glance that the goods carried on them were very heavy.
Now we are not far from the dock at Dwarf Iron Mountain. I believe that these ships are trading ships with the dwarves, and many of the iron items on their ships are iron.
When people mention the iron tools of the dwarves, the first thing they think of is weapons. In fact, there are many kinds of iron tools of the dwarves. Among all kinds of daily necessities, the dwarves can almost make them wherever iron tools are available.
And the dwarves don't just make ironware. They can make all metal things, including gold and silverware. These things are very famous on the mainland, but the most famous is their ironware.
The weapons produced by the dwarves are simple and unpretentious, while the gold, silver and other precious metals they produce are so gorgeous that they can be called works of art. The elves, who are famous for their works of art, are not as good as the dwarves in this regard. They seem to have an innate intuition about metals, a terrifying intuition.
Of course, when the dwarves dug out several iron mountains, they also understood that even if the iron mountains are large, they will be dug out one day, so they are now starting to take the recycling route. Do you want to follow them? When trading iron, sometimes you have to exchange some discarded metal.
So the ships that go to the Dwarf Iron Mountain or the ships that come out of the Dwarf Iron Mountain may have metal.
Zhao Hai also knows about this rule of the dwarves, but the dwarves do not have to let you exchange metals for them before trading. There are already some businessmen who specialize in metal recycling business with the dwarves. It can be said that the development of the dwarves here is much better than that of the orcs.
The Taoyuan slowly stopped at the dwarf dock. This dock was very large and had many ships. However, Zhao Hai took a look and found that almost all the ships parked under this pier were ships belonging to the nobles of the Buddha Empire, and no ships from other countries could be seen.
But Zhao Hai is now looking at the group of people on the dock curiously. This group of people seems to be the managers of the dock. These people are not tall, the tallest is only about 1.5 meters, and the short is only about 1.3 meters, but their bodies are very strong. Wearing iron armor, each one carries a hammer on his back.
This hammer is not the kind of sledgehammer used for fighting among ancient Chinese weapons that Zhao Hai had in mind. This hammer looks more like a hammer used for blacksmithing, but it is very big. Each hammer looks like a hammer. It weighs dozens of kilograms.
The iron armor worn by these dwarves, coupled with the hammer, each of them carries a weight of at least a hundred kilograms, but looking at their nonchalant look, you can tell how powerful they are.
This is the first time Zhao Hai has seen a dwarf. These dwarves all have brown hair, beards, and their faces are red, as if they have been drunk.
After the boat stopped, Zhao Hai and Juno got off the boat, and immediately two dwarves came over. The two dwarves walked up to Zhao Hai's Juno, bowed slightly to them and said: " Are you two here for business?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, I am Zhao Hai from the Buda family. This time I came here specifically to do business with my dwarf friends. This is my first time here, and the person next to me is the head of the Hurricane family."
As soon as the dwarf heard Zhao Hai say that the person next to him was the head of the Hurricane family, his expression immediately changed, and he bowed respectfully to Juno and said: "It turns out that the head of Juno has arrived. Sorry, please !”
They didn't seem to notice Zhao Hai's self-introduction, and completely ignored him. Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
The Buda family is now well-known as a big family on the mainland, but these dwarves treated him like this. There are only two possibilities. One is that these dwarves have never heard of Zhao Hai's name, and the other is that they don't like Zhao Hai.
Juno glanced at the dwarf and said calmly: "This Mr. Zhao Hai is the head of the Buda family and my friend."
It was a very ordinary sentence, but the dwarf was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Zhao Hai, but his eyes were not very friendly. He looked at Zhao Hai and said: "The Buda family? They are the Buda family of the Rosen Empire. Da family?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Exactly, is there any problem?"
The dwarf looked at Zhao Hai and said: "We haven't had a businessman from the Rosen Empire here for a long time. Last time, the businessman from the Rosen Empire bought us some moldy bamboo rice."
When Zhao Hai heard what the dwarf said, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "Really? Is he from the Buda family?"
The dwarf didn't expect Zhao Hai to ask this. At the same time, he also understood the meaning of Zhao Hai's words. He suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, I like people like you, Zhao Hai family leader, please!"
Juno nodded approvingly on the side. If Zhao Hai had just defended the merchants of the Rosen Empire, those dwarves might do business. However, Zhao Hai's rhetorical question made those dwarves very happy.
Zhao Hai has discovered that these dwarves are different from the orcs. The orcs are direct, but they seem to be not as smart as the dwarves. The dwarves are also direct, but they may have more contact with the human race and are smarter.
Zhao Hai and the others followed the two dwarves out of the pier. The two dwarves immediately called a car. The car was very wide, but Zhao Hai had never seen the monster pulling the car. It was a long car. They are like pangolin-like monsters, but their size is no smaller than a horse, and they can almost catch up with a bull.
After the two dwarves invited Zhao Hai and the others to get on the car, they specially hired two people to help Zhao Hai and the others set up the car. They also told the person who was setting up the car their identities. It was obvious that they were more respectful to Juno. Some.
Zhao Hai looked at them and just smiled slightly without saying anything, but he could tell from the expressions of these dwarves that Juno had a high status in the hearts of the dwarves.
Juno saw Zhao Hai noticing the monsters picking up the car, and he smiled and said: "These monsters are called armored beasts. They are a kind of monster unique to the dwarves and are their best partners. These monsters are good at digging, and they are good at digging." It can open mountains, and after training, it can also help the dwarves find iron ore. It is the best assistant of the dwarves. And this kind of monster is also very strange. They cannot be trained by humans or any other race. , the only ones who can train them are the dwarves, so this kind of monster is also considered by the dwarves. It is a gift given to them by the God of Craftsman."
Zhao Hai nodded. He no longer thinks this is nonsense. There are too many strange things happening in Ark Continent. Maybe there is really a god controlling all of this.
The armored beast walked very smoothly, and its speed was not slow. Soon Zhao Hai and the others saw the mountains in the distance. This mountain was different from the mountains in the Hurricane Family. Bamboo rice or oil fruit trees grew on the mountains in the Hurricane Family, but there was a kind of tree growing on the mountains here. A tree that Zhao Hai has never seen before.
This kind of tree looks very strange. The trunk is very straight and iron-black, but not thick. It is only about the thickness of a bowl. There are some branches growing on the top of the tree. Each branch has five to six lengths, and there are more than ten leaves growing on each branch. Those leaves are very big. Each leaf is more than one meter long and very thin. It looks like a handful of dwarf trees. It's like a gun, green, and the whole tree feels very heavy and sharp.
A tree can actually give people a sharp feeling. This is really strange. Juno said: "This kind of tree is called the iron gun tree. Its branches, leaves and trunk can be made into gun rods. The gun rods made from tree trunks are of the best quality." Yes, but it is also the heaviest, heavier than an ordinary fine steel gun shaft. However, it is very tough and is also a specialty of the Dwarf Iron Mountain."
Zhao Hai nodded, but he was very happy in his heart. He felt that he really did not come in vain this time. There are really many unique things in the dwarf tribe. Even if the space cannot be upgraded, he can still do it in his hands. A few more nice things.
Now Zhao Hai is looking forward to the Elf Forest even more. The dwarves are famous for their iron tools. They have so many unique things here. The Elf Forest is famous for all kinds of strange plants. So how many will they have there? Something unique? This is really exciting.
This Dwarf Iron Mountain is very high, not much taller than Iron Huan Mountain. There is a cave on this mountain. This cave is very huge. The entrance of the cave alone is no smaller than the Eagle King Cave.
The armored beast's car quickly entered the cave. As soon as he entered the cave, Zhao Hai was stunned. The scene in this cave was really too big. Judging from the scale of this cave, it was even bigger than the cave in Shankou Lake. Much bigger.
But there is no water in this cave. On the contrary, this cave looks like a huge arsenal. There are blacksmith furnaces everywhere inside, and some shirtless dwarves are wielding iron armor and weapons there. It's all a tinkling sound, so noisy that even if you want to talk to the person sitting next to you, you have to shout.
Piles of weapons and armors of various colors can be seen everywhere in the cave. There are many dwarves loading cars there, but not a single human businessman is seen.
Zhao Hai was most afraid of such a loud sound. He felt that his head was about to explode. Fortunately, the armored beast's car left the cave soon, and the world suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath and said: "It's too scary. If I stay in that cave for a day, I will be shocked to death. How can those dwarves endure it?"
Juno smiled and said: "They don't have to suffer. Didn't you notice that every dwarf wears earplugs so that they can't hear those sounds? In that cave, dwarves don't communicate through sound. , they all use gestures or write words."
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "So that's the case, but it's strange, why didn't I see a human businessman there?"
Juno smiled and said: "There are several small caves in that cave. They are places dedicated to trading with human merchants. They are very sober there. After the human merchants negotiate the deal with the dwarves, they will go there Wait in that cave until the dwarves have loaded all the goods for them before they leave the cave. Otherwise, if you stay in that cave for a long time, I'm afraid they will go crazy."
Zhao Hai nodded and looked around. Now they had come out of an exit at the back of the cave. What appeared in front of Zhao Hai were endless mountains. There were iron spear trees growing on these mountains. They looked like... There's no end to it.
Zhao Hai knew that this was the Dwarf Iron Mountain, the real Dwarf Iron Mountain. The area of the Dwarf Iron Mountain was very large, no smaller than the Orc Grassland.
Juno looked at the endless mountains and said: "Everyone knows that this is Dwarf Iron Mountain, but there are not many humans who can actually walk here from that cave. Dwarf Iron Mountain only accepts friends, so they I think that people who are not friends can only enter the cave just now."
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Thanks to Grandpa Juno this time, otherwise, we would not have been able to come here."
Juno smiled slightly and said: "Okay, don't be polite to me. I only brought you here to see if you are not an unscrupulous businessman. Otherwise, you think I will bring you here personally." ? If you are really that kind of unscrupulous businessman, let alone you who saved Chris, even if you saved our entire Hurricane family, I would never have brought you here. I am friends with the dwarves. I can't do anything to disgrace my friends."
Zhao Hai nodded. Laura and the others did not speak. They just looked at the scenery outside quietly. Juno only brought a few people from the family this time. Those people are now on the carriage behind, following They were also in the car with Xu Wanying and Shunyi.
Soon, the armored beast's car entered the second cave. This cave was also very large. There were many dwarves busy there, but there were not many weapons visible here. Most of them were iron ore.
The Iron Mountain Beast's car slowly walked towards the cave. Zhao Hai felt that the further into the cave, the lower the terrain seemed to be, as if there was a gentle slope.
After a while, the armored beast's car stopped. Juno turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Get out of the car. You'll have to take a boat as you walk in." Zhao Hai responded and followed Laura and the others out of the car.
When he got outside, Zhao Hai looked around. This was a large cave. There were many dwarves in the cave. They were all driving the armored beast's cart, which was loaded with iron ore.
On one side of the cave, there is a pier. There are several small boats parked at the pier. These boats are not big and can only seat a dozen people at most.
The dwarf who was driving the car also got off the car, walked to Juno, bowed to Juno and said: "Mr. Juno, please follow me." Juno nodded and led Zhao Hai and the others to follow the man. The dwarf walked towards the dock.
There are several small boats parked at the pier. Some of the small boats are loaded with iron ore, while others have nothing on them. There are also some seats on them, which look like they are for people. (To be continued.)
