Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 794 Public Grain
A giant fifteen-meter-high meteorite gate suddenly opened under the power of water, and the entire underground rock wall suddenly lit up like daylight. About five hundred dwarf crossbowmen were waiting for the arrival of their king at the gate.
Just on both sides of the gate, three statues of ancestor gods more than ten meters high shine brightly. As usual, Gruni holds a hammer and shield, and Grimnir with a mohawk and a trimmed beard faces everyone.
Visitors looked at each other angrily.
Valaya, on the other hand, was holding a shield in one hand and an ax in the other, with two big braids, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Oh, the statues here are much shorter than those in Bafeng Mountain." Little Thorgreen shouted excitedly: "But what kind of rune is that? I don't think I've seen it before!"
"Shut your mouth, Mustache!" Torgard glared at Thorgrin: "Otherwise I will send you to feed the piranhas deep underground!"
After passing through the gate, a huge mountain city appeared in front of everyone.

The ancestral hall, a group of bearded dwarves, a gold dome, a long sandalwood table, wine glasses inlaid with gems, hundreds of barrels of highland barley wine, twenty baskets of bread, a dozen plates of cold-cut lamb and sauces, as well as various mushrooms and
Pickled fish.
The king's kitchen in Dulong City was in full operation, and delicious dishes were served one after another.
Iros and others took their seats, and opposite them sat five bearded dwarves, each of them wearing crimson robes and animal skin down jackets.
The four dwarf kings of Dulong City also took their seats one after another.
A dwarf maid who was as round as a bucket brought an oversized diamond beer glass. Iros estimated that this glass could hold one liter of beer.
"Have a drink, say a word, and state all your intentions and negotiation conditions!"
Lord Tolgard sat directly opposite Ryan: "In the name of Gruni, we establish the ancestral code!"
"Who talks, who drinks! How about that?"
"Okay!" A smile appeared on Iros's lips: "Are you ready? Dwarf?"
"Very well, in the name of the great monarch, I announce that Granny's feast has begun!"

Two days later, under the golden dome of the Dulong City Ancestral Conference Hall, Lord Torgard Crimson sat with three other kings, five clan leaders, a master rune craftsman, and a master engineer.
, discussing the results of the negotiations.
"Then the problem is obvious. This Goilos is quite powerful. He keeps his word among humans and has a relatively good reputation. Moreover, he also has a profound influence on the Grand Duchess of Charles.
At the same time, he also speaks very fluent Dwarf... Although it is the accent of the Mountain Kingdom, we have to admit that chatting with him is not as tiring as chatting with other humans."
Harkon, King of Crow's Nest, said: "At least that's how it seems on the surface."
"The only disturbing thing is that according to the news, he seems to be relatively close to the high elves." King Tyr of Eagle Peak City crossed his arms: "Those damn pointed ears are not reliable at all."
"We are trading with the Principality of Shire, not with the elves. Besides, sometimes the things from the elves are not bad."
King Luojiamil of Thunder City stroked his white beard: "The premise is that we can get it, such as satin and various high-quality embroidery? Jewelry?"
Everyone present nodded. Even though dwarves and elves disliked each other, the dwarves liked many of the high-end luxury goods of the elves very much.
"Our Knight King also proposed to build a large dwarf blacksmith workshop in his territory, which is called Storm Fortress."
Eric, the president of the Dulong City Craftsmen Association and master rune craftsman, said: "He was told by Little Sol Green that our rune craftsmen are the best and most complete, so he hopes to hire a few of my young men to help.
.”
"What's the price?" Torgard burped. He drank too much that day, and everyone slept all day the next day.
"The price is not bad, and he promised that he would never point fingers at the dwarves, as long as the quality and output are guaranteed. I promise that it will not affect the work here."
Everyone began to talk about it and spent an hour or two discussing what should be done.
"Listen, everyone, normally we need a year or two to think and discuss these things, but they humans can't wait for us for a year or two."
Tolgard signaled everyone to be quiet. Under the special golden dome echo wall, every word of the dwarf could be clearly heard by everyone:
"Actually, the problem is very simple. We all know that the Shires are in charge of Erengrad in the south now. They are better at fighting and more trustworthy. The prices they offer for goods are generally higher than those of Katalin Khan.
Lower and more abundant.
More importantly, the Shire people promise to bring us a lot of food, a lot of food, meat, fish, and a lot of textiles that we urgently need, so that we can build new breweries and meat processing plants.
, and let all our children wear clean and beautiful robes!"
“Oh wow! New brewery!”
"You can have this one, but the highland barley wine is not tasty enough. The dark beer and Bagman beer from the south are better!"
"Can he really do it?"

"There are 110,800 dwarves in our four kingdoms!"
"Listen, everyone, listen." Thorgard spoke again to signal everyone to obey:
"The Shire want to exchange food, cloth, luxury goods and other things with us for our rune armor, rune weapons, various ores and rare metals.
My people have been calculating the accounts overnight. This trade will help us fill the family treasure house and the treasury. The only requirement is that we only designate Erengrad as the only trading port, and we only trade with the people he designated.
Those merchants trade."
"If he can provide us with all the goods we need, then why not?
Human beings are short-lived and unreliable. We have encountered treacherous humans who deceived us more than once, and they had been dead for many years when they finally came to our door."
"Then let everything be settled like this. We will trade with them using our various ores, rune weapons and equipment, jewelry or other things."
In the end, the meeting of ancestors voted and passed the trade agreement with 8 votes in favor and 1 abstention.
The vote that abstained came from the Oblak clan, the largest businessman in Dulong City. This family had just signed a trade agreement with the Catalin family. They were unwilling to give up such generous trade profits, but they had nothing to do about the current situation and could only sign a symbolic agreement.
to object.
This trade agreement was historically known as the "Dulong City Exclusive Trade Agreement." Relying on this trade agreement, the Dulong City dwarves obtained a large amount of urgently needed supplies from the old world in the following period, and quickly moved towards the new world.

The Shire represented by Fiona has gained unimaginable wealth through this trade agreement.
But that’s a story for another day.
"Very good, now let's discuss the second thing, which was also proposed by His Excellency Iros."
"That's about the so-called 'Great Retreat' he proposed."
"This bill discusses how to withdraw from here if our group of dwarves is once again faced with an absolute predicament like the Battle of the Mountains where we were besieged for a long time by the already belched Aislin."
"Now, let's discuss whether it is necessary to prepare a 'big retreat' plan."
