She was a short, but very cute girl. She was not as bulky as other dwarves, but very delicate, with a sincere smile on her cute apple-like face.
I took the wooden bowl in her hand with a smile, and a sweet aroma floated straight from the bowl into my nose. Well... it smelled so good. Is this the food I often ate during my coma
I took a gentle sip, and um... it was indeed it, sweet, fragrant, and slippery. It went down my throat and into my stomach without having to swallow it.
I tentatively descended to the ground and took two tentative steps. Well... there is no problem. I have almost recovered. Except that my body is a little weak, I am no different from a normal person!
At this point, I settled down in the dwarf village. After a month of recuperation, I completely returned to normal. With the wisdom of my child prodigy, I quickly learned their language. Although it was impossible to learn them all, but generally Everyday language is absolutely unmistakable!
The little dwarf girl who gave me the porridge was called Nasha. She was an 18-year-old dwarf girl. I originally thought she was about the same age as me, but in fact she is eight years older than me!
After Nasha's introduction, I learned a lot. The world I live in is no longer the original world. Of course... this world has no name, just like my world on earth has no name. The world is just the world, and planets can have names. Name, but not the world!
Until now, I can't believe that I have left the original world. Everything is like a dream, so... from now on, I call this world a dream world, which is appropriate!
In this world, there are a total of seven relatively large continents, fourteen relatively small continents, and countless islands. Nasha only knows that the continent I am currently on is called Tianmeng Continent, and the continent bordering us It's called Piaoxiang Continent. As for what the other continents are called, she doesn't know anything about it!
The continent we are on belongs to the territory of the Sunset Empire. Before the Millennium War, the dwarves originally lived in the middle of Tianmeng Continent, living together with humans, orcs and other races. However, after the destruction of the Thousand Years of War, in the end... only a few thousand people were left. The dwarf tribe was hunted here and hid under the harsh active volcano to survive.
From the perspective of the outside world, the dwarves have been exterminated. Tianmeng Continent is now completely ruled by humans. No one knows that there are still dwarves in such a remote place. Otherwise... they will definitely not be able to continue living.
The dwarves are a hard-working and simple nation. Although they are all born warriors, they do not like fighting or war. They only like to use their own hands and the hammer in their hands to build weapons one after another. Farm tools, armor! The dwarf blacksmiths are famous all over the world. No foreigner can reach their level, because... they have devoted their entire life to their most beloved cause!
Although life has been very difficult, the dwarves have not stopped working. Even if no one buys the weapons they have made, they are still forging and smelting day and night, because... making weapons and armor is the dwarves' bounden duty! In the words of the dwarf village chief: "Life is endless and forging continues!"
There are more than 1,400 people in the dwarf village, all of whom are dwarves. They make a living by making weapons and equipment. In their free time when making weapons, they plant papayas around the village. The entire village relies on eating papayas to sustain their lives. Fortunately, they are away from home here. The active volcano is very close, it is summer all year round, and there are always fresh papayas to eat, so the dwarves have no worries about their livelihood!
Now that my body has fully recovered, I can't continue to eat for nothing. Although I am only ten years old, I am shorter than me. Dwarves younger than me are already helping my parents with work. I have What reason to be idle
Dwarves have many jobs, including searching for ores, transporting ores, crushing ores, smelting, and forging... broken down into more than twenty types!
But because I am too young, I can't do most of the work, such as searching for ore and transporting ore, I can't do it!
Ore is easy to find. You don’t have to go to the mountains to mine it. You can just pick it up in the wilderness. Active volcanoes often erupt some rocks, and these rocks are ores containing various metals. You just need to go to the wilderness to find them and then transport them back. .
But... the wilderness is not peaceful, there are monsters everywhere, from low-level to high-level, there are all kinds of them. Generally, the dwarves rarely go out to mine, they just dig some iron ore on the mountain wall of the col!
Generally speaking, the closer to the village, the worse the ore, and the further away from the village, the better the ore. There are too many ores beyond a certain distance. After hundreds of millions of years of eruptions, the entire ground is covered with mineral deposits, but it is also dangerous. It also increased greatly. Village Chief Gu said that he once encountered an adult lizard dragon. More than 60 dwarves who went with him died, and only he escaped back!
Although the lizard dragon is not a dragon, and is not even related to a dragon at all, its powerful physical attacks are still not something that dwarves or even humans can contend with!
The reason why they rushed to my place last time was because of the shocking big explosion, which caused all the monsters to disappear. So they mustered up the courage to go mining far away, and also rescued the monsters located in the place. Me at the center of the explosion.
This trip was the first time in the past 50 years that the dwarves had traveled more than 100 kilometers away from the village and reached a place more than 200 kilometers away.
Now I am not allowed to leave the village. Like other dwarf children, once we go out, we will be torn apart by ferocious beasts in a matter of seconds and nothing will be left!
I can't do the job of crushing ore. For no other reason than that, with my little strength, it would be a joke to use a sledgehammer to break ore as hard as steel!
The only thing I can do now is to help the dwarf uncle sweep up the crushed ore, use a small shovel to put the crushed ore into the iron basket, and then lift it to the smelting dwarf uncle, and then transport the smelted metal blocks to The forging dwarf uncle is here to run errands!
Don't tell me... After only one month, my body became stronger, and slightly protruding muscles began to appear in various parts of my body. Now I finally understand why dwarves are so thick. What do they do for work... It's all manual labor. , it’s hard even if you don’t want to be strong!
Calculating the time, it has been two months since I woke up. In the first month, I did nothing but rested and recovered my strength and spirit. From the second month on, I started working as an errand boy, delivering goods. Crushing ore and transporting smelted metal became my job!
When I was on Earth, my daily job was to study, and studying has become my habit, so... when I had nothing to do, I would stand next to my dwarf uncles who were smelting or forging, and learn their forging techniques! After a month, with the wisdom of my child prodigy, I have learned almost enough, but... without strength, you can't do anything! Blacksmithing is not like embroidery. If you don't have the strength, you can't even think about it.
Seeing the gleaming weapons and armor... appearing in the hands of the dwarf uncle, I couldn't help but feel envious. I finally understood why they were so persistent. Every time they forged a weapon, I believe they were very passionate in their hearts. Have a sense of accomplishment.
Dwarves are all born warriors. This sentence is true, but it is also wrong. No one is born with anything, and acquired hard work is the most important factor that determines everything.
According to my observation, the reason why dwarves are born warriors is inseparable from their hard work. Although there is no deliberate training, their life style determines that they will definitely be the best warriors.
The ore-crushing hammer weighing more than 40 kilograms needs to be struck tens of thousands of times every day, and the forging hammer weighing more than 20 kilograms has to be swung non-stop every day. In addition, the ore is transported. Such a lot of physical exercise has given them a strong body. , and exaggerated arm strength. The reason why dwarves like to use giant axes as weapons is actually just because the weight and length of the giant ax are about the same as a hammer for blacksmithing.
Although there are times when you miss home, but... once you start working, you can't think of anything. Dwarves are the kind of people who don't care about anything when they are busy. Once you start working, unless it's time to eat, otherwise... nothing A person is willing to be distracted by other things. If I want to desert, I guarantee that no one can find out. But then again, in such a strong labor atmosphere, who would have the nerve to desert
After a tiring day, I finally returned to the room and waved my arms, which were numb but getting stronger and stronger. I smiled excitedly, tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, the village chief grandpa will teach us the dwarf battle ax skills, because... we can't stay in the village forever, and if we want to leave the village, we must learn basic self-defense martial arts!
