"Ugh! Ugh!"
Seeing Snorri's actions, the skink stall owner danced and screamed. Snorri saw everything in the Temple City as new, and so did the lizard people see him and the Amazon Translator. In the blink of an eye, a crowd of onlookers gathered around him.
“What it means is if you don’t buy it, don’t move.”
The Amazon translator was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect the majestic dwarf king from the edge mountains of the southern world to be so out of control.
"Money? I have a lot!"
Snorri took out a large handful of gold coins from his arms and slapped them on the Skink's counter. Seeing a table of golden dwarf gold coins, the screams of skinks around them became more intense.
In the lizard people's society, gold is used to make plaques to record information, but it is obvious that these things are deeply bound to the authority of the superiors. Only Slann and certain high-ranking priests are qualified to read and use them, certainly not Skink civilians.
"Ugh, hiss!"
The stall owner's voice immediately changed his tone. Snorri gently rubbed the spices. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, from territory development to future goals to his past life experiences and memories.
"Boss, what do you say?"
Seeing the boss stunned for a long time, the Amazonian couldn't help but ask aloud.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Snorri shivered and came to his senses, gasping for air. For the first time since time travel, the dwarf felt fearful. Even when he first crossed over and faced Tzeentch, he didn't feel this way because a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
There are many sources of this feeling, the first of which is the unknown - his understanding of Cathay and even the entire East is so poor that it can be filled on a piece of paper. There was no such part of the game in his previous life. If he had gone there, of course he would not be able to foresee things in advance and make decisions before taking action like he did here.
Another source is "possession". Now he has much more than what he had at the beginning of time travel: strength, territory, reputation, wealth, etc., which makes him afraid of taking risks.
The last reason is, of course, that he is timid about being close to his hometown. Fundamentally, he is still willing to consider himself a Cathay native. You know, he has a lot of poems and articles in his mind that he has no place to use!
It was not that he had never read Western masterpieces in his previous life, but taking Shakespeare's classics as an example, he only remembered the outline of the story. "Hamlet" cannot be reproduced by adding "Tobe, or not tobe," to the outline.
"Give me a stool. I have something to ask it. Tell it that if you answer well, all the things on the table will be given to it!" Snorri ordered.
Jin Zi's power was so powerful that the Skink owner simply closed the store door and sat down with the two visitors.
"Where do these spices come from?" Snorri asked, squinting his eyes.
"The East, the land of spices, a land flowing with milk and honey." The Amazons translated.
"Nonsense! The East is a big place! Be specific!" The Dwarf King was very dissatisfied with this answer. Three-year-old children in the old world knew that spices were sold from the East.
Cornfly: "It said it didn't know that it got these things from Thiata."
"Tia Tequa?" Snorri clicked on the system in his mind and started searching. Soon he discovered that it was also a temple city, located further south of the Bone Temple.
"It says that there is an Oriental Bazaar there. Oriental merchants take ships to do business there. Their goods include exotic artifacts, spices and silk. But the lizard people don't need the last one."
"Bazaar?" Snorri chewed on this word. As a former northwester, he knew that this word was a Uyghur word, which meant market or farmer's market. He has also been to a place called the International Grand Bazaar. But this word is rarely combined with "oriental".
"Okay, it seems I need to go there." After asking for some more relevant details, Snorri stood up and walked out of the store. He no longer wanted to wander around and went straight to the obsidian quarry.
Of course, it is impossible to build a bridge tower without raw materials, and obsidian, a volcanic ore that can react with magic, is the best choice. There are no giant lizards in the Bone Temple, so the work of mining stone naturally falls on the dwarves.
"Brothers, put your work aside first!" Snorri stood in front of the construction site and shouted loudly. His men laid down their tools and awaited further instructions.
Most of the dwarf standing armies are selected from ordinary levies. When a warrior accumulates enough experience and merit, he will be considered suitable to rely on weapons instead of tools. But that doesn't mean he's forgotten how to do something as simple as mining stone.
"Stop the construction period! The lizard people's fruit wine is good, and the barbecue is also very good. Let's enjoy it tonight. Come with me to the south tomorrow to take a look!" Snorri felt like a contractor. In fact, the dwarf lord did Will play this role when necessary.
"Praise the ancestors for their common choice!"
"May Snorri the Generous be with the gods!"
"Drink hahaha! It's been too long since I've celebrated like this!"
The dwarves cheered, they were going to take advantage of the night to relax, and Snorri was guided by the skink priests through the maze-like tunnels inside the pyramid. He was going to see Eutrax.
The walls inside the pyramid are also decorated with images and symbols depicting the mythology of the Lizardmen and totems of the gods. But unlike the ones outside, these have bright colors and the seal cutting techniques are more sophisticated.
Further down the path, Snorri stopped before a room painted with magical talismans. Standing at the door were two stronger and better-equipped lizardmen.
Snorri suspected that they were scarred veterans. Thoreaus would not die naturally. The longer they survived in the battle, the more they would understand the meaning of the army to individuals. At the same time, their battlefield experience has also made their achievements in combat even better.
"Little dwarf, why are you here again before I close my eyelids?" Slan's telekinesis sounded. It calmed the doorman and opened the door a crack.
"How about soaking in the hot spring? It's really enjoyable!" Snorri saw Eutrax sitting cross-legged in a pool in the room, and the dense mist made Snorri's sight somewhat obstructed.
"Dear Slan, I have some personal matters to go to Tiate and I have already informed the tribesmen in the mountain fort about the bridge tower. A larger and more professional construction team will soon be available to work on the big plan." Nori's attitude was very low. After all, running away in the middle of a job is not a very responsible behavior.
"It's up to you. Lord Atik who is sitting there is my senior who is also my teacher and friend, and he has the same views on the big plan as I do." Otrax's voice was still slow, and the two skink lizards poured the water into it. splashed on the back.
