Chapter 12 The Market of the Dark Iron Dwarves

A burst of chaotic sounds soon came from the river, and Jiage yelled and lectured in anger, and finally the silence returned. When Zhang Weidao passed by, he saw dozens of kobolds sitting scattered on the river bank, looking at Jiage one by one.

Ask them how to operate the fishing rod.

Zhang Weidao stood watching for a while, and soon saw that some novices had begun to catch fish. He couldn't help but sigh that the kobolds were quite capable of stealing learning. After just watching for a while, he had already learned a lot.

That's it. It seems that they will definitely come back with a full harvest today. Zhang Weidao gave some pointers and then prepared to go back to practice. After saying hello to Jiage, he went back first.

In the monastery square, Zhang Weidao carried two stone locks and moved forward, backward, left and right. The Gang Step was as flexible as a butterfly walking through flowers. When Zhang Weidao performed it at full speed, the whole person looked shadowy, like an afterimage.

Flashing.

After practicing the Gang Steps for a while, I took out the magic sword and danced with it for a while. I felt that the magic sword was too short, too light and uncomfortable, so I decided to go to the mine to find a kobold blacksmith to make a long sword.

He put away his magic sword and walked towards the mine. When he walked down the lifting platform, he summoned the kobold guard and asked him to inform everyone to go to the monastery for dinner. The kobold guard knew about today's fishing and knew what the fish tasted like today.

He immediately licked the corner of his mouth in excitement.

The kobolds I met along the way were all busy. When they saw Zhang Weidao, they all took the initiative to get out of the way. Zhang Weidao smiled and nodded all the way, feeling that he was about to become a big star. As soon as he entered the mine where the blacksmith shop was, Gungun

The heat wave hit him head-on and almost made Zhang Weidao faint from the heat. Fortunately, his physical fitness has been greatly improved in the past few days, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

After regaining his breath, Zhang Weidao looked around and saw that the blacksmiths were busy pouring furnaces everywhere. No wonder it had become so hot here. A rough count of at least fifty furnaces had been poured.

I called a blacksmith and asked him why he was making so many at once, but the blacksmith said he couldn't stop when he was excited. Fortunately, Zhang Weidao came to see it, otherwise he would be confused and still have to cast.

At this time, other blacksmiths saw Zhang Weidao coming, and immediately left their apprentices to clean up the mess, and ran over to say hello. They excitedly told how useful the patterns provided by Zhang Weidao allowed them to make such cleverly conceived items.

Zhang Weidao felt guilty after hearing this.

After looking at this batch of cast heaters, the appearance and size standards are very uniform. After they have cooled down completely, they can be distributed and used by the apprentices after they are polished and polished.

Zhang Weidao drew a one-handed sword and marked the dimensions, then turned to ask the blacksmiths for their opinions. As a result, all the blacksmiths looked at the drawing on the ground with contempt. They all said that this small one is just right for kobolds, and that humans can use such a small one.

The sword is so unreliable.

Then the leader of the blacksmith drew a sword with a length of one meter and two and a blade eight centimeters wide, indicating that this was a qualified one-handed sword. The one Zhang Weidao drew could only be used as a long dagger for assassins.

Zhang Weidao looked at the sword drawn by the blacksmith speechlessly. He estimated that it weighed at least twenty kilograms. This weight could be used as a two-handed weapon for a general. But then he thought about how he could control this sword with his powerful strength.

It's really no problem, just let the blacksmiths build a training hand according to their ideas.

Next, I visited the blacksmith shop and found that the kobolds had hoarded a lot of copper ingots. After asking, I found out that they were used to trade supplies in the market opened by the Dark Iron Dwarves. The Dark Iron Dwarves lived in the Burning Plains, and they built

They opened a market at the foot of Blackstone Tower Mountain to exchange needed materials with foreigners. These copper ingots were the metal raw materials they lacked.

Zhang Weidao took a few glances and remembered it in his mind. He was about to go back and ask Jiage about the deal with the black iron dwarves. After praising the kobold blacksmith's craftsmanship, he left the mine.

It was almost noon when we returned to the monastery, and several kobolds had already brought fish and pumpkins to the kitchen to prepare for cooking. When Zhang Weidao walked to the river, many kobolds were already packing their things and putting the filled fish baskets

Put it on the cart and put it with the pumpkins to be transported back.

Zhang Weidao went over to help load the truck and asked Jiage about the Black Iron Dwarf market, "Jage, when you trade with the Black Iron Dwarves, are the only things you can get rid of copper ingots?"

Garg replied: "We initially traded copper ore directly to the Dark Iron Dwarves, but the ore was too bulky to carry. The Dark Iron Dwarves taught us how to smelt copper ingots to facilitate trading."

Now Zhang Weidao understood why the kobold blacksmith's craftsmanship was so good. Emotions were taught by the black iron dwarves. These kobolds have such strong imitation abilities. If the black iron dwarves had been taught for a longer time, they would probably have lost their money.

.

Zhang Weidao pointed to the fish and pumpkin on the cart, "In the future, these two items can be added to the goods traded with the Dark Iron Dwarves. These are absolutely scarce goods in the Burning Plains." "Yes, the fish are in the market.

I have never found pumpkins before, and only the gnolls in Redridge Mountain occasionally take some and sell them."

Jiage said curiously: "Sir, pumpkins can be stored and will not spoil easily, but this fish rots too quickly and cannot be transported to the Burning Plains!" Zhang Weidao looked at Jiage with disdain, "Are you not sure I will tell you this?"

If the fish gets bad, just take care of it and let you know more about it when you go back."

Jiage was puzzled for a while. He had seen fishmen putting extra fish in the sun to dry. He tasted it secretly once and found that the dried fish was fishy and smelly. It was really unpalatable. From then on, he never tasted it again.

I won’t eat the stinky dried fish dried by fishmen.

After returning to the monastery, Zhang Weidao asked a few kobolds to pull the rope at the edge of the woods, and then asked them to take the fish and clean it. He took out the peppercorns, stir-fried them, ground them and mixed them with salt, and then spread them evenly on the fish, and then

Let the kobold take it and hang it up to dry.

After looking at it, Jiage immediately paid attention to the pepper and salt prepared by Zhang Weidao, and felt that the difference should be in this. After all, in other respects, it was the same as the fishman. It was washed and dried before being dried.

Zhang Weidao saw that there were still a lot of empty ropes, so he asked the kobolds to cut the pumpkins into circles and hang them on the ropes to dry. He also asked a few kobolds who were good at carpentry to make several steamers and prepare to dry them in the evening.

Steamed dried pumpkin.

After all the preparations were done, dinner was served. A group of kobolds drank mushroom fish soup with tears in their eyes. Zhang Weidao also sighed that the fish in the river tasted really delicious. After eating and drinking, they rested for a while, and the kobold miners took

He went to work first with his hoe, while the other kobolds took their fishing rods and went to the river to fish.

Zhang Weidao also took a fishing rod to catch fish by the river. He sat under the shade of a tree, with the warm afternoon breeze blowing on his face. He looked drowsily at the floats in the river. This is a perfect life.

!Unfortunately, nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory. Everyone has to face various troubles, and Zhang Weidao's troubles are catastrophes that can come at any time.
