Snorri quickly passed through the Axbite Pass. This trade route was blocked at both ends by Montfort Castle and Helmgart Fortress. As long as nothing happens on either side, the trade route itself is basically safe.
The closer you get to the west of the Old World, the vast sea breeze makes the climate relatively mild. There wasn’t even any snow in the northern section of the Gray Mountains. Snorri's lamb's steps became much more brisk.
At noon on the third day, he and the convoy finally arrived at the gate of Karak Zfulin. This is a dwarven fortress carved out of a granite mountain. She was the last to be completed during the Golden Age, and was therefore the highest expression of dwarven craftsmanship of that era.
As the caravan gradually approached, the gate of Breeze Castle opened. Snorri looked from a distance and saw a group of hammer guards walking out surrounded by several high-level officials.
Snorri saw the plate armor on the leading dwarf shimmering in the sunlight. Through his knowledge in the Karak-Azgraz bar, he knew that this was one of several legendary pieces of equipment kept by the royal family of Breeze Castle - the Sunrise Armor.
This legendary piece of equipment is made of stone like the legacy of Snorri's own clan, but it is made from a core of granite dug out when Breeze Keep was first dug.
Granite is an extremely hard crystalline rock because its crystallization process is very slow and its crystals are intertwined one by one like a Rubik's Cube.
Granite comes in a variety of colors because it often contains other minerals, such as amphibole and mica. The reason why this armor is named "Sunrise" is because it is mixed with light red and yellow crystals, which at first glance looks like the halo of the rising sun.
Snorri breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the plate armor. It was obvious that the Lord of Granite Hand came out to greet him personally, which showed that the Lord of Breeze Castle did not intend to embarrass him in the matter of welcoming the bride.
If the lord decided to settle personal matters first, he could wait for Snorri in the throne room. After all, there are convoys every year, but the daughter gets married only once. No matter how conservative the tribe is, they can't blame them.
"Welcome, Master Snorri. May the Ancestor Goddess always protect you and the entire mountain kingdom!" As Snorri approached, the dwarves on the opposite side also came up to him, and the middle-aged man at the head greeted him. Warm greetings.
"Greetings to you, Lord Lorek, in the name of my father, Thorgrim the Grudge-bearer!" It seemed that the lord wanted to put private matters behind for discussion, so Snorri used official language.
The current Lord of Breeze Castle is named Rorek, and Granite Hand is a nickname passed down from generation to generation in Breeze Castle. Every city lord will automatically receive it.
Unlike the people in the World's Edge Mountains who need to undergo miner training, the people in Breeze Castle are famous in the Old World for their stonemasonry skills. Generally speaking, every Lord of Breeze Castle is also an excellent stonemason.
Even if his skills are really average, with the help of Mountain Breaker - Breeze Castle's other inherited equipment, a legendary gauntlet engraved with master-level slashing runes, he can still gain the power of turning fossils into mud.
Snorri walked towards the hall of the fortress while chatting with several other Breeze Castle executives. There are not many mineral deposits underground in Breeze Castle, so the proportion above ground is higher.
Among these people, Snorri chatted a few more words with the rune master of Breeze Keep, Harek Armorbreaker. From the similar names, we know that he has a deep blood relationship with Lord Lorek.
This is very common in dwarf society. Again, nepotism is not a derogatory term here. It is often easier for clans in power to cultivate high-level professionals due to the tilt of resources.
Snorri didn't know much about this old rune master. Because of the distance, he never went to the Rune Blacksmith Guild in Eternal Peak after completing the master-level certification.
Snorri rolled his eyes to search for Prince Stringer, after all, this was his potential rival for the Anvil of Doom. However, it seemed that due to insufficient status, the prince did not appear in front of the gate.
Generally speaking, dwarves like to hold grand ceremonies in the evening, and the happy events of the sons of the mountains cannot be catalyzed by alcohol. It was just a simple meal at noon. After the meal, Snorri went to the guest room.
Since he had to stay here to celebrate the New Year, and also had to welcome his eldest brother to his wedding in addition to official duties, Snorri did not live in the largest tavern in the fortress at his own expense as before, but accepted the arrangement arranged for him by Lord Rorek on the upper level of the fortress. living room.
After watching the accompanying waiter leave, Snorri did not take a lunch break but acted quickly. Arriving at noon was the result of his deliberate control of time along the way, just to buy himself an afternoon before the official welcome ceremony.
Now Snorri has to find out about the Anvil of Doom, so the treasure means a lot to him. On the one hand, this is a symbol of the Rune Master's status, on the other hand, it is also a great improvement to one's own strength.
Relying on its ability to restrain the magical wind and charge runes, while limiting the performance of enemy spellcasters, Snorri can also ring runes more frequently in battle.
If he hadn't known about it in advance, he would definitely have gone to the Rune Blacksmith Guild here to discuss it with Harlek Armor Breaker, who knew the Anvil of Doom best and was a fellow trader, so he had a natural sense of closeness.
But now Snorri knew that Prince Stringer was a disciple of Master Hareck, and he was not sure about that master's attitude. If you rush over and ask, even if you just make insinuations, there is a high chance that your intentions will be revealed.
A rune master without an anvil of doom came all the way to inquire about this thing, and a child who couldn't even drink beer knew what he wanted to do!
Breeze Castle is the farthest dwarf settlement from the World's Edge Mountains. In terms of the straight-line distance to the Eternal Peak, it may not be closer than the central city of the Norscan dwarves, Kraka-Draq.
Snorri had no acquaintance in this place. In this case, he decided to find his sister-in-law. If there was only one dwarf in Breeze Castle who would help him, it could only be Princess Pamela.
Snorri was thinking along the way that the number of high-ranking dwarves who knew something about the Anvil of Doom was limited, and the only one who had anything to do with him was his future sister-in-law.
Considering that as a woman, she was born a believer of the mother goddess Varaya, and she once studied in the doctors' guild that believed in Varaya, no matter what, she would have a friendly attitude towards her choice of goddess.
Snorri made up his mind, put on his fake beard and slipped out the door. He had arranged for Bahrain to find out his sister-in-law's residence in advance. Of course, this was not difficult.
In dwarf society, due to the sparse population, etiquette is relatively ignored. Snorri himself has a special status, and no one will talk about private meetings between unmarried men and women.
