Entering the small village, the arrival of the dwarves attracted a crowd of villagers. Everyone in Weidong Province knew that the dragon fleet had always sailed to the southwest in recent years in order to trade with them, but the civilians in Weibei Province still had no idea.
These guys, who are only as tall as my waist but half as wide as me, find it strange.
There is only one inn in the village, with a restaurant on the first floor and several guest rooms on the second floor. There is no doubt that it cannot accommodate such a large team. Snorri gave the three elders in the village a gold ingot and asked them to spread out their troops and arrange them.
Farmers provide shelter from the rain and eat and drink.
"If you have any delicious food, just bring it over!"
With his entourage and guards occupying the space of the inn, Snorri shouted to the waiter in the waiting room. The weather was bad today, and it was not a day to go to the market. The inn with no business suddenly rushed in. Such a group of people with weapons
The strange man in armor surprised the shopkeeper.
"Sir, there is nothing good about this small restaurant in the deserted village. It is famous for its home-brewed food. Besides, there are also home-cooked side dishes, rice and pasta. If you want to eat meat, we have to buy it freshly."
"Buy now and cook now? I don't know when the heavy rain will stop! Give us some wine to warm us up. We have to go on the road even after the rain stops!" Snorri muttered. It seems that this store does not provide meat dishes if it is not a year or a holiday.
"Yes, it's rare for us to have such heavy rain in early winter here! I don't know how long it will last." The shopkeeper also sighed before going to the kitchen to prepare.
"Crunch!"
Just when the dwarves were about to enjoy the freshly warm white wine with a few side dishes, there was a creaking sound from the simple wooden door of the inn, and then a figure appeared.
"Um?"
The subordinates were making a loud noise, and the guards at the two tables near the door relaxed their vigilance after seeing that it was just a man and no one was bringing him. They had been staying in Fuzhou City before, and as the governor of Weidong Province, the security was very good.
.
"Those who are traveling, please take shelter from the rain."
The visitor looked at the room full of dwarves without showing any strange expression. He spoke in a low voice and walked to Snorri's table. As a lord, his table was the loosest. Eric went out, and now only Gao
Trek and Bloxon are in.
"Should I sit here?"
He seemed to be asking, but in fact he lifted up his clothes and sat opposite Snorri before the dwarves could answer.
"Meeting by chance is like a guest from a foreign land, please!"
Snorri narrowed his eyes again, as he was used to doing when he became nervous. This man was not too tall. He was wearing a cloth robe and had a grayish-blue color on his face. He looked a bit downcast.
.
But Snorri, with his years of traveling experience, realized that all this seemed to be just an appearance. The guy opposite was very impressive, with a self-confidence that was inconsistent with his appearance, and it gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
"Second on the Heavenly List, Stormhammer Snorri is indeed an extraordinary person!"
"You know, uh, what do you call me?"
Snorri was slightly surprised to be called a heel in a foreign village, but then he thought about it and it was not strange to have such obvious physical features. He then began to ask about the identity of the visitor.
"Haha, you also said it, so why bother asking for your name when we meet by chance? Although we have never met, I have been friends with you for a long time." The man took the wine pot and filled a glass by himself, then drank it all.
"Hahaha! Sir is also a wonderful man. When entertaining distinguished guests, you should have good wine. Bloxon, go get a bucket of my Jubilee Diamond!" Snorri's cheeks twitched slightly, but he still forced himself to laugh.
.
"Um?"
The master engineer was stunned for a moment after hearing the instruction. He looked at his lord suspiciously. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be his turn to get the wine, right?
"boom!"
Snorri kicked him under the table, and noticing the tension hidden under the peaceful atmosphere, Bloxson nodded and followed the order.
"So, what can you learn from your visit?"
Combining the sudden wind and rain, the shopkeeper's sigh, the reminder from Shen Zhu, and the temperament and sharpness of the man's words, Snorri initially judged the identity of the person, or rather the dragon - Governor Wei Xilie.
Master, Binlong Zhaoming!
With the opening of the sea route to the East, the originally unsafe and time-consuming Changya Road has been completely abandoned in recent years. Shangyang, the western gate of Cathay, an international city that thrives because of trade, has been hardest hit.
Snorri is willing to share part of the profits to compensate Agrim, the Butcher King, who guards the western end of the Tusk Road - Pinnacle Pass, but Yinyin has no intention of sharing her huge profits with her younger brother who seems to have an eccentric personality.
Chenlong Shenzhu told him that his name had been mentioned repeatedly at gatherings of dragons in heaven in recent years. Binlong complained to his parents, brothers and sisters about his increasing pressure and dwindling income.
"What's the purpose of his coming? With this attitude, he probably won't take action directly, right?"
Snorri dug out the mark on the wooden table with his hands. Although Zhao Ming was young, his fighting ability was not comparable to that of Shen Zhu, who was more powerful and supportive, at least it was on par with Minglong Yinyin.
Judging from Yujiang Shang Yinyin's combat performance, if Zhaoming suddenly launched an attack now, he might really get into trouble. Even if there are hundreds of elite soldiers around him, they do not carry large firearms against giant beasts, so the number of people alone will not have much effect.
"Do you know about the dragon's transformation?"
After a moment of confrontation, Zhao Ming slowly asked a question.
"Know a thing or two."
Snorri forced out a dry smile. He understood that this was Zhaoming's test to see if he recognized himself.
"Dragon is a hero comparable to the world. Your Excellency has been around for a long time and must know the heroes of the West. Please try to describe them."
"I have been living in the mountains for a long time, and I have never changed my mind. There are really unknown heroes in the West."
“I don’t know his face, but I also hear his name.”
"Human Emperor William is well equipped with troops and food, so he can be called a hero?"
"It's just a mere mortal, what's the point?"
"Phoenix King Fenubar, long-sleeved and good at dancing, is admired by all the high elf kings. He unified the island of Ulthuan and has many capable subordinates. Can he be called a hero?"
"Finuba has no strength to tie a chicken, and he is also very scheming. He heard that his wife and daughter were taken by others. He is not a hero!"
"There is a man named the Immortal Emperor who is victorious in every battle. Can Settra be a hero?"
"Withered bones in the grave are not heroes!"
"There is a man who is both a magician and a martial artist. He is ruthless. Can the Witch King Malekith be a hero?"
"You are not a hero if you borrow your father's name!"
"Lustria Mazda, with his incredible magic power, can he be a hero?"
"How can you be a hero if you are a dog who keeps the house?"
"What about the Gray Seer, the Night King Eshin, the Plague Lord, and others?"
"What a waste of time for these mediocre rats!"
"Other than this, I really don't know about someone. May I ask, sir, who do you think can be the one?"
"A hero is a man who has great ambitions, a good plan, the ability to contain the universe, and the aspirations of heaven and earth. What I have seen can be called a hero, and he has two ears!"
