"Do you know?" Undermg was surprised when he saw Snorri's reaction. This news was very secret, and he was not even sure whether it was true or not.
"Hahaha, I have my own source of information!" Snorri covered up the past with an awkward yet mysterious smile. To the adventurous young dwarf, Snorri was even more unfathomable.
In summary, the matter between Dieter IV and Marienburg should still be in the brewing stage. Being able to find out relevant information shows that Undermg's intelligence network is already quite strong.
"Let's talk about Plateau Castle!" Snorri changed the subject.
"I have a map here that I would like to dedicate to you! My ancestor once collected information about that old place. He himself also explored along the southern edge of the world. According to his diary, he arrived at a fertile land in the mountains, and then Driven out by something beyond his comprehension." Undermg handed over a map and a diary.
"Something beyond his understanding?" Snorri muttered, taking the map and unfolding it. It looked very old and was something quite old.
"Wow! Wow!" Snorri flipped through it quickly, matching the contents one by one with the strategic map in his mind system. Snorri was almost certain of its authenticity when he discovered that the prominent landmarks were exactly the same.
"This thing is very good!" Snorri directly affirmed the young man's contribution. "Tell me what you want."
"I want to join your expeditionary force. It is also my ancestor's long-cherished wish to find Plateau Castle!"
"Ancestral Goddess! My team welcomes every qualified warrior. If providing such high-value information is a condition for joining, I'm afraid I won't even be able to recruit gunners." Snorri joked with a smile.
"Then, maybe you can give me some opportunities to show my abilities? Our influence is still relatively weak outside the mountains." Undermg gave in first, and then made his real request.
"Of course! What should I entrust you with? The person in charge of the troops, or my staff adjutant?" Snorri was still looking forward to Undermg's ability, but the young dwarf's answer surprised him.
"Well, what I mean is that I hope you can recommend me to your father, His Majesty Thor Green, after the matter is completed."
Snorri was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time since he time traveled that he had been denied face. Before, he had always been compared with the "Timely Rain Song Jiang" in his previous life. When others saw him, they all bowed to him and called him "the goddess's choice".
Being disliked, the temple boy Snorri couldn't refute it. After all, this was indeed a fact. How could his grass-roots team compare with the Supreme Royal Court?
"Ah haha! Okay, okay, do your best, and I will recommend you to my father when the time comes!" Snorri laughed awkwardly for the second time in a short period of time, and he was secretly relieved.
Fortunately, Andermg hoped to be recommended after exploring Plateau Castle. It would be really difficult for him to ask Snorri to cash in his reward now. The total population of dwarves is so large, and the establishment of the so-called Supreme Court is also quite limited.
When someone submitted a valuable map, Snorri told a low-level civil servant that he couldn't explain it no matter what. There are not many middle-level positions, and most of them are carrot pits due to the nepotism of the dwarves. If one is forced to create one, it will only cause trouble. More importantly, it will make the tribesmen talk about it.
Originally, Snorri's growing reputation had made his relationship with his eldest brother somewhat delicate. It was also part of his purpose that he had been living in seclusion in the forge for the past few years to avoid the rumors of his clan members. Under such circumstances, it would be overstepping the mark to directly intervene in his father's personnel appointments.
The next time, Lisnori sent Tommy and Balin to take advantage of the autumn harvest to purchase food in the human empire. Considering that the land that was conquered may have to be taken care of before it can be cultivated, and the first batch of teams were all tribesmen who were fighting troops and were not engaged in production, Snorri felt that it would be good to be self-sufficient in two years, and there would be no harm in stocking up on more food. .
He himself left the World's Edge Mountains under the protection of the Anvil Guards, took a boat down the Skull River, and headed for Barak-Var, the High Gate Pass.
Haimen Pass is the only port city for the dwarves in the old world. Goods from the World's Edge Mountains have always been transported from here to outside the dwarven world. It also became an extremely important trading center.
Many merchants from Southland, Indy, and even Cathay also choose to unload their goods at this dwarven city at the end of Blackwater Bay.
Although this requires layers of exploitation and loss through land transportation before the goods can enter the Human Empire or Bretonnia. But for maritime merchants, it is undoubtedly much safer to go to Marienburg than to face the threats of vampire pirates' undead ships, dark elf pirates' black arks, Norscan longships, etc. on the vast ocean.
The road from Eternal Peak to Haimen Pass is currently very safe. The ships from Haimen Pass clear out the enemies on the waterway along the way, while the army from Eternal Peak solves the enemies on both sides of the strait.
Snorri went down the river very quickly, but he did not take the boat all the way to the bottom, but landed close to the mouth of the sea. Haimen Pass is very unique as a fortress built in the Golden Age. Although it is also a port, it is very different from the Bordeaux City we saw before.
Her main body is carved out of the cliffs on the northern coast of Blackwater Bay. Below the cliff is a huge deep-water port and the anchorage of the dwarf navy. The Skull River also leads to a canal leading here.
In this case, water transport was separated from other conventional operations, and large elevators and tunnels were used to connect the lower port to the superstructure. This design was originally designed to deal with possible threats from the sea.
Snorri's visit this time was regarded as an official visit. He disembarked early and took the mountain road to visit Haimen Pass from the main entrance. Lord Panos also personally welcomed his arrival at the city gate.
This grey-bearded dwarf lord had previously supported the Undergrand clan's expedition, but he was not as deeply bound to the clan as the one from Copper Mountain Castle. After suffering a loss, he did not continue to increase his bets and switched to another project investment.
Snorri had previously negotiated the rental of the ship with him through rune transmitters and messengers, but before leaving, Snorri decided to confirm it in person.
The group of people went straight to the Lord's Hall at the highest point of the fortress. Snorri found that this was a dwarven fortress that was open enough, similar to Breeze Castle and Horn Castle. Here you can see humans from all over the world, and the costumes of the tribesmen are relatively less traditional.
