The dwarf city has many specialties. The dwarves have the rails and minecarts that Xiang En has always wanted to get but has struggled with the technology to manufacture.
His eyes swept across the abandoned railway tracks and minecarts, and he had already decided to buy technology from the dwarves in the future, or let them directly help build the railway tracks.
Not every place underground has flowing air. Even though the dwarves have lived underground for more than a hundred years, they still need something special to ensure the supply of oxygen.
Xiang En asked this question to the dwarf Heather. It was a special kind of mushroom that absorbs heat and expels air underground.
Matter and energy can transform into each other. This underground mushroom growing in the magical world can absorb thermal radiation and generate complex gases.
This... is actually not something unacceptable.
Every dwarf will plant this type of mushroom in their home, on the one hand to combat the high temperature underground, and on the other hand to clean the air.
The underground kingdom of the dwarves was an eye-opener for the group. All in all, the place has been managed to be very livable.
After passing through the dwarf's commercial and residential areas, and walking out of the narrow mine tunnel, a sight suddenly opened up before the eyes of Enji.
A spacious square appeared in front of them. The space above the square was large and circular. The ground was paved with stone slabs. There was a fountain in the middle of the square. A gold sculpture on the fountain was particularly eye-catching.
The sculpture is seven to eight meters high and looks like a dwarf wearing armor and holding a war hammer.
"Hey, hey, hey! That's our great King's Hill. It was under his leadership that we created the powerful Earth Elf Kingdom!"
Seeing that everyone in the group was attracted by the golden sculpture on the fountain, Shinan puffed up his chest and proudly introduced the origin of the sculpture.
It was probably a hundred years ago that the goblin dwarf king Hill discovered the underground kingdom, and led some of his tribesmen to go underground to expand their territory, and finally snatched this undeveloped and fertile land from the hands of those chaotic underground beings.
The population of the Earth Elf Kingdom has reached tens of millions, which is much lower than that of the human kingdom, but it is much larger than their dwarf relatives living on the surface.
If these dwarves wanted to, it would be easy to blow their relatives' heads off.
It's just that dwarves, unlike humans, are not keen on fighting among themselves.
After introducing the golden sculpture, Shinan led Xiang En and the others around the sculpture and walked into a metal house on the edge of the square with the logo of a hammer and a furnace.
Squeak!
There was a slight creak when the metal door was pushed open, and the tightly closed door was pushed open. A strong smell of alcohol hit his face, making Xiang Enzhi frown.
He never drinks.
"City Lord, you idiot! You're drinking here again!" Hearing the smell of alcohol, Shinan immediately raised his voice and cursed the empty hall with only one desk.
There was a banging sound in the room. After a moment, the door to the side of the hall was pushed open, and a white-bearded dwarf staggered out. His face turned extremely red due to alcohol. Under the light of the magic crystal above his head, he looked like a man. Monkey butt.
Xiang En and the others watched helplessly as the white-bearded dwarf bumped his head against the desk, which was also made of metal, because of his unsteady steps. It made a thud, which was painful to watch.
"Ouch!" The white-bearded dwarf sobered up after such a collision, and looked around the hall in confusion, "Who, who is looking for me? Ouch, damn, how could there be such a tall person!"
Shinan's status didn't seem to be very low. When he saw the white-bearded dwarf who was the city lord, he rolled up his sleeves and went up to explain.
After a dozen "Oh"s in a row, the white-bearded dwarf, the manager of Aku City, already understood what happened.
The Lord of Aku City sat behind his desk, took out a piece of metal from the drawer, and while scratching it with a carving knife, he said: "It's a strange thing for humans to come to our place. The last time I saw a human being was when I was in my forties." Many years ago, that man fell from a crack, and only his body was intact, tsk tsk tsk... "
“…”
Due to the language barrier, only Xiang En can communicate with the dwarves without any barriers, and everyone else acts like a baby.
Xiang En sent the scene recorded in his mind to the white-bearded dwarf to watch, "Lord City Lord, now there is a war on the surface that is sweeping all life in the area. A kind of monster is killing the upper life indiscriminately..."
After receiving the consciousness transmission from Xiang En, the white-bearded dwarf looked up with a surprised expression, but soon he regained his composure and said: "Oh, we and the life on the ground have been in two worlds for a long time. Even if we have to It’s not my business, I’ll write to the king, and that’s it if there’s nothing else.”
Dwarves live thousands of meters deep underground, and the city closest to the surface is seven to eight hundred meters deep.
Time and physical isolation make it impossible for them to understand the pain of life on the surface, let alone sacrifice themselves to save others.
Even if he knew that the surface of the earth was about to be destroyed by monsters, the white-bearded dwarf was only surprised for a moment, and then regained his composure.
Just like ordinary Americans who know that people on the other side of the world are being devastated by war, they will only be surprised and sigh a few times when they hear the news, or else they will post a few impassioned words on the Internet, hoping that they will actually do something. In a real sense...
Just don’t say it.
Xiang En just informed these dwarves, not expecting them to really fight for the planet with enthusiasm. Instead, he said: "I have some industries on the surface and want to establish trade relations with Aku City..."
"Okay, okay!" The old man with a white beard finished carving the metal sign, threw it directly to Xiang En, and waved impatiently, "If you want to trade, just go to the street and shout, we don't have many broken rules here, don't disturb me drinking! "
Xiang En almost couldn't catch his breath. The dwarf's painting style was really... unique!
Looking at the metal sign in his hand, it was engraved with words he couldn't understand, and there was a picture of a hammer and a furnace on the back. It should be a pass or something like that.
After leaving the city lord's office, Shinan treated Xiang En and the others to a meal of dwarven barbecue.
Although the taste is good, it is not shocking. At least compared to the food cooked by Xiang En himself, the only advantage is freshness.
After dinner, Xiang En and their trip to the dwarf city was coming to an end. If they didn't go back, their family would have to worry.
Standing on the platform waiting for the two-hour Dauphinus bug, Xiang En already had several win-win solutions in his mind.
Soon after, the Dauphinus arrived, and they got on the train back home and met the dwarf general Nora again.
"Hey, hey, hey! My friend, our city is great, right?"
Seeing Xiang En, Nora asked expectantly.
Xiang En did not disappoint him, and said with a smile: "Indeed! It's great! We agreed before that I would open a tavern, and I have already decided on the opening time. Nora, you must come and try it. Our wine!”
