Different from what Lu Xidong imagined, the interior of the palace of the Dwarf King Glenn was very grand, which may be to make up for their shortcomings in stature.
Therefore, Grundgers placed his throne on a terrace, where he could overlook everyone who came to see him.
Sitting on the terrace should be Glenn, with a big beard, squinting his eyes and looking at Lu Xidong himself.
Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I know that the awe-inspiring aura of this dwarf king was extraordinary.
The body is quite strong, very dwarf-like. Those muscles are full of strength and wrapped under the conspicuous brown skin. His black hair is neatly combed back.
This was the first meeting between Lu Xidong and the Dwarf King, but it gave him the first "sense of crisis" he had after coming to a different world.
Yes, although this guy is just a dwarf, he is a real king. The feeling is different.
A man was kneeling in front of King Glenn, seemingly asking his king for instructions, but was interrupted by Lu Xidong.
Aisha and Yundi were left outside the palace. Hippocut was a cautious guy. If he could establish a peaceful situation, just opening his mouth would be enough. The straightforward dark elf and the female magician who could summon fireballs at any time could start. It doesn't work.
This was also true. Ai Xia lost her temper over this, but was finally stopped by Lu Xidong.
He had the same idea as Hippocourt. Leaving Aisha behind would easily offend the dwarf king, so it was better to let her wait outside for a while.
The man who was interrupted was very dissatisfied, but when he glared at Lu Xidong, he noticed the devil's unique horns, and with a look of surprise on his face, he honestly withdrew.
There is nothing more difficult than the new demon king in the Forbidden Forest. This is a truth that everyone in the dwarf city understands now.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Dwarf King, I come from the Forbidden Forest and am the master of the monster town Iserlohn - the Demon King Lu you know." Lu Xidong cleared his throat and said loudly. He didn't want to give people a cowardly look. The feeling, although now in the opponent's palace, surrounded by elite dwarf warriors.
"Well, it's the first time we met. I'm surprised that you came in person and came alone." King Glenn rested his chin on his hand and said with interest.
In fact, to be honest, he was really shocked. Although he was curious about what kind of guy Lu Xidong was before, he didn't expect that such a bold demon would have the courage to stand in front of him alone at this moment.
"I heard that you are quite interested in me, so I took the liberty to come here. I won't disturb you, right?" Lu Xidong smiled and said casually: "But I didn't come alone. There is someone outside the hall. There are two guards and some goblins in the woods who escorted me here, but it’s just not convenient for me to see them, so they all stayed outside.”
"Oh, so what is your purpose for coming here this time?" It was very straightforward, a rare frankness, which actually aroused some good impressions of the dwarf king Glenn. He straightened his body and then asked.
Although the straightforward dwarf doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, King Glenn understands that this is the respect that should be paid to the other party. After the exchange just now, Glenn feels that the demon in front of him should be treated fairly.
"My purpose?" Lu Xidong grinned, "Of course I am here to clear up doubts. We, Iserlohn, have absolutely no ill intentions towards the Free City Zenda. It can even be said that we are full of gratitude!"
"Gratitude?" Lu Xidong's words confused King Glenn. Where did he start
"Not bad." Next, Lu Xidong recounted his first encounter in Zenda City in detail. Hearing this, the other party's brows furrowed and the clouds on his face became thicker and thicker.
"Boruote, is this the case?" The dwarf king's tone was cold, and he asked as soon as Lu Xidong finished speaking.
Plop~
The man who had just turned behind the pillar heard his king's gloomy question. His legs weakened and he immediately fell to his knees.
It turned out that the man just now was the dwarf finance minister Bo Ruote. Last time it was too dark and the torches were too bright, so Lu Xidong couldn't see his appearance clearly.
The other party didn't pay attention to Lu Xidong at that time. His target was mainly the three dwarf brothers, so the two people didn't know each other until Lu Xidong mentioned Boruote's name.
Seeing the sullen Dwarf King Glenn, Boruot was naturally frightened and immediately denied what he had done.
It's no wonder that he was so tough-talking. After all, Lu Xidong didn't have any actual evidence and was talking nonsense, which confused King Glenn for a moment.
I even tended to believe Boruote's sophistry. After all, these were his ministers, and the three dwarf brothers were former subordinates who had defected, and Lu Xidong was an outsider who might be hostile.
Heroes tend to listen and believe, because their eyes are in the distance, and things near are all told by people who are close to them. They will not stop and take a second look.
Because that would be a waste of time and energy, and a waste of their efforts to conquer, so heroes are not perfect, and heroes can easily be deceived.
The dwarf king Glenn is such a hero, and he will believe it immediately. Although he also knows that this is not the main purpose of Lu Xidong's visit, the young man around him, Bo Ruote, is trying his best to slander him in order to escape his own guilt. The possessed man Lu Xidong, and his original colleagues, the three dwarf brothers.
Sometimes war is so strange. It is obviously a trivial matter, but it misleads the judgment of the decision-makers on both sides, and the dwarf king is about to be led astray.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the door, and King Glenn looked displeased: "What is it?"
The palace door opened, and a group of people poured in. They were led by a rope, and one end of the rope was held in the hand of a dwarf.
It's Rolf!
Rolf the dwarf smuggler!
Next to him is Carter, a human warrior holding a big sword. They were obviously sent to sell toilets. Why are they here
After seeing the Rope Gang leader clearly, it was Boruote's turn to turn pale. They were the extortion team hired by him.
Because the monsters in the Forbidden Forest were making trouble, Boruote had clearly warned them to stop their activities temporarily. They went out to hide for a while, why did they suddenly appear here
He looked at Lu Xidong, who was calm and smiling, and seemed to understand a little.
Yes, after sending Rolf and Carter out for business, Lu Xidong discovered the dwarves' spies, and he began to prepare for this face-to-face conversation with the dwarf king.
Guessing that Boruote, who had had an enmity in the past, might become an obstacle to the peace talks, he sent people to notify Rolf to start doing this.
Rolf is a dwarf who knows everything about the free city of Zenda and has a lot of connections to draw on. While selling out all the toilets, he quickly found this group of low-level blackmailers who were hanging around in the market.
Their hiding places were nothing more than casinos, taverns and brothels. Soon Rolf and Carter defeated each of them, and finally brought them to the eyes of the dwarf king Glenn.
The stolen goods shared are the physical evidence, and this group of people are the best witnesses. Moreover, because they have cooperated with Boruote for a long time, there are some smart guys among the blackmailers, and there is always something about them that can prove their relationship with Boruote. This is their What was used for self-defense has now become the best evidence.
At this time, King Glenn couldn't help but not believe it anymore. Boruot languished on the ground, his head hanging down, with a look of resignation, and he was quickly taken away by the angry King Glenn.
The group of blackmailers were also imprisoned together. This was the fate they deserved.
Rolf and Carter exited the palace. Now, except for the dwarf guard soldiers, only Lu Xidong was left in the hall of the palace, facing the aloof Dwarf King Glenn.
"I'm sorry that I wrongly blamed Dorum and the others." Glenn said sarcastically: "If they want, they can return to Zenda."
How can it be? Lu Xidong protested loudly in his heart. He would never convey this sentence on behalf of the dwarf king. Now the construction and maintenance of Iserlohn all rely on the support of the three dwarf brothers. It can be said that it is only King Glenn who listens and believes. He is his biggest benefactor, how could Lu Xidong return this talented person to him
So he decided to skip this topic and go directly to the next topic: "Dear His Royal Highness the Dwarf King, this matter can be discussed in the long term, but I heard that you are planning to take action against the town of Iserlohn in our Forbidden Forest. Is that true?"
Looking directly into King Glenn's eyes, Lu Xidong asked bluntly, "This is the best solution. Any covert avoidance may be interpreted as a sign of weakness by the other party."
Sure enough, the dwarf king Glenn hesitated, "This is because I heard that you robbed a human adventurer of an A-level death-type magic weapon and prepared to attack our Zenda... I wonder if this is true?"
King Glenn was not to be outdone. He obviously knew a lot of things that he had heard from Fitz, but he still wanted to extend his imagination. At this moment, he also said it tit for tat.
Then I heard Lu Xidong reply: "Not bad..."
