"Well, it is true, and this also triggered the second reason for the discord between Copper Mountain Castle and our Eternal Peak." Balin took a breath and continued.
"Well, my ancestors!" Bahrain didn't feel comfortable speaking, so he used this to buy himself some time.
"It's okay, just say it boldly. I won't mind these little things. As descendants, we should face up to the merits and demerits of our ancestors!" Snorri encouraged.
"These clans who lost their homes established small kingdoms independent of Brass Mountain in the canyons of the Dome Mountains. These "canyon kingdoms" became their isolated refuges. Here the tribesmen could rebuild their homes and rebuild their homes.
Rally the army to prepare to take back our homeland."
Balin chose to buy himself more time to organize his language by describing the current situation of the displaced dwarf clans.
"Isn't that great?" Snorri still didn't hear the hidden meaning in Bahrain's words, which forced his advisor to continue.
"But these clans still hope to regain their homeland. After experiencing disappointing attempts, they blame part of the reason on the inaction of the High King..."
"I'm still wondering why the caravan didn't go to the Dome Mountains! It turns out that's the reason. Do these people think that the High King should have the obligation to recover the mountain fortress for them?" Snorri was a little shocked.
"Your Majesty Valaya! Some clans oppressed by hatred will inevitably be a little extreme." Bahrain's tone suddenly became a little low.
Snorri felt strange for a while. In his memory, this young cousin had always been the cheerful one in the team. Bahrain was the youngest and did not have much pressure from the outside world. As Snorri's status improved, he
I am also full of hope for the future.
But this does not change the fact that Bahrain’s cousin is considered homeless and one of the compatriots living under the shelter of others. When talking about the people of Tongshan Fort, he can’t help but feel sad.
"Okay, I understand. I will be careful tonight, but I don't think Queen Thelma will take any action." Snorri nodded and ended the conversation. He packed up and prepared to go.
Went to the banquet.
Entering the Lord's Hall of Desolate Castle, Snorri suddenly felt something different. The decoration here seemed to be very new, which was different from everything in the previous fortresses that had a strong sense of history.
"Karak Norn's history should be comparable to that of Horn Castle. They were both fortresses built after the Battle of Longbeard!" Snorri thought to himself.
"No, it may even be older than the Horn Castle. After all, the original purpose of establishing the Desolate Castle was to monitor the wood elves in the Athel Loren forest."
After greeting the tribesmen along the way, Snorri came to the stage. He was placed at the lower left of the main seat. This is the position of the most distinguished guest. Snorri's current status and reputation are fully deserved.
.
Suddenly, Snorri saw two chairs on the main seat. He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was awake and dazzled. But after calming down, Snorri found that there were still two chairs on the main seat! <
/p>
"How could this happen? This is too rare!" Snorri muttered to himself. He had never seen such a situation in any dwarf fortress before!
"Hey, Master Snorri, don't you know? Our Lord Porrok has completely disgraced his ancestors! Guys who hang out with rich women are as useless as bastards!"
Snorri turned his head when he heard the words and saw that the person who spoke was the older dwarf sitting next to him. This was the Rune Master of Desolate Castle, nicknamed Earthshaker. He was known for his master-level wrath and destruction runes.
Wen's power is renowned throughout the dwarven mountains.
This old dwarf with white hair and beard didn't even wait for the host of the banquet to sit down before he started destroying the steaks on his plate with a knife and fork. He chewed the beef and cursed at the same time.
"Dear Master, what do you mean by this?" Snorri was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"You were born in the Eternal Peak, so it's normal not to know the inside story!" Master Earthshaker took another sip of beer. He obviously regarded Snorri, a young colleague, as one of his own.
"Porrok, you have to call me uncle after all! It's so shameful, so shameful! When I mention him, I don't even know where to put my beard!" The old dwarf drank up his beer and wiped his beard with it.
The wine glass clinked on the edge of the table.
"When Karak-Izo was looking for a son-in-law in Lagos, the guy who only had gold in his eyes hyped the matter up, probably because he wanted to earn more betrothal gifts!"
Snorri nodded. He understood what Master Earthshaker said. Sometimes the father of a woman to be married would choose to use semi-public or even public bidding to marry his daughter to the richest suitor.
"At that time, there were many respectable young dwarves there. It is said that the carts of treasure they carried made the glaciers of the Dome Mountains shine with colorful colors!" The old dwarf continued, and Snorri also followed the description in his mind.
Imagine the grand occasion of excitement and beauty at that time.
"Boruoke also went, but what a shame! He couldn't compete with other people's bids with wealth, but he actually thought of offering privileges to compete, and finally won the favor of Selma, the temptress!" The old dwarf has a long lifespan and a high status.
Ye Gao, he doesn’t take Lord Poluoke and his wife seriously at all.
"What, what privilege? Add a chair next to the throne?" Snorri's eyes wandered, and he judged from the time that the banquet was about to begin.
"What privilege? It's more than my big beard! For thousands of years, have you ever seen someone who married a wife without paying a betrothal gift and still earned a dowry? Not to mention, now the dwarves of Desolate Castle are in the entire mountain kingdom.
I can’t even lift my head!”
At this moment, Lord Porok and his wife came together from the back door of the hall. After hearing the last few words of Master Earthshaker, Lord Porok only showed a slight smile on his face.
But facing this elder with outstanding skills and high status, he did not contradict him.
Seeing the lord's dark and thin face with almost no expression, Snorri couldn't help but nodded secretly. Judging from the brief contact along the way, this dwarf was a very reliable dwarf.
Ignoring Master Earthshaker's curses, the Porrok couple took their seats at the main table together. Queen Thelma stood up first to express her welcome to the business representatives present, and then Lord Porrok gave a speech of welcome to Snorri alone. Due to Bahrain's reminder, Snorri didn't do much at the banquet. Except for the unavoidable social activities, he kept his head down while eating and drinking.
Queen Thelma is not that ignorant. Although her expression is relatively cold, she finally does not make things difficult for her.
At the end of the banquet, Lord Pojok took the initiative to ask Snorri to visit the inside of the fortress tomorrow, and then the guests dispersed.
