"Hello, man." A bearded dwarf walked to Ariel's paving. "I didn't expect to meet humans here. It seems that you have a good relationship with the elves."

"It's okay, because I have rescued their clansmen." Merchant Ariel replied. In the underground auction house, he spent a lot of money and offended many nobles for this.

"My name is Goonier, Goonil Stonetoe." The dwarf introduced himself, "I know you must have doubts in your heart, but I can answer you in advance, my toes are not stone, just like you, they are all flesh and blood. Made up. God knows why my ancestors chose such a surname."

"Ariel White." The businessman shook the dwarf's outstretched hand. After releasing it, he secretly rubbed the back of the hand that was marked with white marks. "This is my bodyguard, Red Crab."

"Red Crab? Good name. I've always wanted to name myself 'malt wine', and I don't think I need to explain it too much. It's a pity that this name is too easy to cause ambiguity, because my clansmen call it every day. , 'Oh, I really love ale', 'Yeah, me too, I can't live without it for a day', haha, you see, it's disgusting, I can't stand it." Gonier said to himself Gu Zi smiled happily.

After he had laughed enough, he tiptoed to look at Ariel's temporary counter, "What are you selling?"

"Tea set, a set of exquisite ceramic tea sets, if you buy two sets, I will also give you an extra plate." Ariel replied, "In addition to some fine velvet fabrics, and different colors scented candles."

"Unfortunately, I don't have anything I like. If you sell golden rum, I can buy some." The dwarf sat on the left side of Ariel's pavement, and then took out a wrinkle The crumpled tarpaulin was spread on the ground in front of him, and it seemed that this guy was also a businessman.

"Don't all elves like to drink tea from oak cups?" Gonier took out a tan leather pocket out of nowhere, and then began to take out small stones of different colors from the pocket, and put them at random. placed on a felt cloth.

"Although it is very good to drink tea with oak cups, it is undeniable that after a long time of use of wooden cups, it will leave some odor after all." Ariel said, "Although the odor is very light and very light, but For things like drinking tea, it has a big impact. The ceramic tea set has no such shortcomings, and the elves like this." He said, while glancing at the small stones on the dwarf felt cloth .

These are some unprocessed rough gemstones, and they are quite rich, with a rough look of amber, sapphire, spinel, amethyst, and diamond.

It seems that the dwarf also knows how to do business with elves, Ariel thought to himself.

As we all know, the dwarves have many skilled jewelry masters, but the works of these dwarf masters may not meet the unique and discerning aesthetics of the elves, so the dwarf will choose to sell the rough stones directly and let the elves do the work themselves. processing.

But, why did this guy come all the way to the Holy Land of Spirits to sell rough gems? Isn't it the same to trade in human cities? And the price sold on the human site is definitely higher than here.

"Are you from Rockforge City?" Ariel asked.

"Yes." The dwarf Gounier nodded, "The first half of the journey was fine, it was just two teleportation circles, but after reaching this vast Vast Sea Prairie, things were completely different. Alas... that was really a long and weird journey." He sighed and looked up at Ariel, "I guess your trip wasn't going well."

"Fortunately, although I encountered a lot of unexpected situations along the way, I happened to meet a mage on the way, so there was not much danger." Ariel replied.

"Mage? No wonder." The dwarves suddenly said, "Your human mage always likes to mess around, but there are a lot of useful things."

He rubbed the exposed bit of blue on a rough gemstone with his sleeve, "It's like the teleportation circles all over the continent. Although your human mages built the teleportation circles in Forge Rock City, they were met by our clan. There are a lot of objections, but I have to say that this thing is really useful. It's just that the elves here..." The dwarf shrugged, "Forget it, each race has its own ideas, those long ears are still here after all. The continent has been ruled for a long time, but we dwarves have always been vassal characters, previously the elves, and now you humans."

Gounier looked quite talkative, no wonder he would put the paving next to him, he should have a chat when he was free. Ariel thought that dwarves still prefer to communicate with humans than elves.

"Humanity is just lucky. At a strange time, a strange leader appeared, that's all." Ariel said modestly.

"The vassals are vassals. In fact, it's not a big deal. Maybe it will be our dwarves' turn in the next era of civilization!" Gonier Stonetoe laughed happily again, "I know that the probability of such a thing happening is very low, But there are so many weird things going on in this multiverse, it's no big deal to have one more, haha, who's to say."

"Will it not be halfling's turn in the next era?" The idle red crab also joined in, "I have met many halflings, and they all believe that their own race will become the new generation of the continent after humans. Dominate."

"What's the reason? Boy?" the dwarf asked. "The replacement of the civilization of the Era is not something that can be achieved by just talking about it."

"Then you'll have to ask the halflings, I don't know. Those little guys always have an inexplicable confidence in these kinds of things anyway."

"Don't underestimate the small guy." The dwarf took out a rough golden-green peridot the size of a quail egg and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look, "If you know a little bit about history, you should know that goblins have also There were thriving civilizations, but it's a pity they screwed it up."

Ariel didn't want to talk too much about this topic, especially on Elf turf. Because from a certain point of view, the situation of goblins and elves are similar.

"Why did you come here to sell these rough stones?" He asked another topic, "Isn't it more convenient for a human city?"

"Selling these beautiful gems is not the main purpose~lightnovelpub.net~ The dwarves threw the peridot in their hands up and down." This time I came here with the caravan mainly to trade ore with the elves. "

"Ore trade?"

"Yes, a large amount of iron ore, as well as rare metals such as mithril, adamantine, and magic iron." The dwarf said, "Usually, the trade between 'Losrollin' and 'Rock Forging City' takes place every two years. Once, but only halfway through this year, this is already the second time. It seems that this quiet and peaceful city is not as peaceful as it seems." He pointedly said.

Alas, I still want to make several more trips to this trade route to recover the loss of the previous investment failure. Ariel sighed in his heart, lamenting his bad luck during this time.

He had partnered with others to smuggle spices, but he never thought that the most crucial partner was actually a lunatic who colluded with the devil. He wanted to pick up the trade route of elves again, but he encountered a once-in-a-century twist in the vast sea grassland.

Alas, I don't know how the young Master Kris and the Nord Barrett are doing.
