Chapter 26 Alloy Steel

If calculated by straight-line distance, the dwarf tribe from which Master Ranu came from is probably less than 200 kilometers away from Bangta City.

But if you count the whole distance, it is close to 300 kilometers.

Fortunately, the distance of more than 200 kilometers at first can be quickly passed by carriage, but when they finally entered the mountain where the dwarf tribe is located, there are more than 20 kilometers of distance that must be purely on foot.

As Master Ranu said, this trip took a whole day.

Xu Yi set out from Bangta City in the morning, and it was not until it was completely dark that he saw the light in front of him under the guidance of Master Ranu who was accompanying him.

"Have you seen it? Those fires are all fires, and the fires in our dwarf tribe will never go out!" When he said this, Master Lanu had a big belly and a proud face.

It's a pity that Xu Yi has been tossed about by this day's journey and has no strength to speak at all, so he has no interest in echoing him.

The dwarves in the tribe were somewhat surprised by Xu Yi's sudden visit, but because Xu Yi came with Master Lanu, he was immediately greeted by the enthusiastic dwarves, and a grand welcome banquet was held immediately.

Dwarves are good at wine, and it is natural to use wine to entertain guests.

Xu Yi couldn't remember how many bowls of wine he was poured, nor how he fell asleep, but when he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he found that the sky was already bright, and it was the next morning. .

Xu Yi shook his head, and found that it was surprisingly not painful, just a little dizzy.

It seems that the dwarves are not only good at wine, but also very good at brewing wine. They drank so much last night, but they didn't drink it the next day.

Of course, this was also thanks to Xu Yi's good drinking.

On Earth, as one of the top mechanical engineers in the largest mechanical engineering company in the country, no matter how strictly Xu Yi controls himself, he can't shirk away from a large number of various meals.

The technology of distilled wine in this world is not comparable to that of the highly technologically advanced Earth, and the degree of alcohol is naturally far less than that, which indirectly increases Xu Yi's alcohol capacity by a large margin.

"Hey, Xu Yi, right? Are you awake?" A rough voice sounded beside him.

Xu Yi turned his head and saw a male dwarf with an extra-large nose.

"You are..." Xu Yi scratched his head, he had an impression of this male dwarf in his heart, but he couldn't name him.

"Haha, just call me Camby." The dwarf patted Xu Yi's shoulder vigorously, laughing loudly. "I thought that humans are not very good at drinking, but I didn't expect you to be able to drink it. Yesterday, two people fell down, not bad!"

Xu Yi laughed, thinking that the dwarves were good at drinking, so he regarded those who could drink as heroes, and the amount of alcohol he showed last night was a good stepping stone.

"Where's Master Lanu? Why didn't you see him?" Xu Yi asked.

"That kid Ranu went to see the patriarch and said he had something to talk about. By the way, I almost forgot, he said that you can go to see the patriarch when you get up. How is it? Do you want to go now? But You just got up, so you should eat something to fill your stomach before you go."

Xu Yi touched his stomach, and he really felt empty, so he nodded.

Camby quickly brought two pancakes made of unknown ingredients. Xu Yi hurriedly ate them and asked Camby to lead the way to see the patriarch.

The dwarf tribe that Ranu came from is not particularly large. According to Camby, there are only more than 500 dwarves in total.

Xu Yi estimated based on what he saw, that the total number of adult male dwarves in this dwarf tribe might be about a hundred people.

This made him a little disappointed. This time, he planned to recruit as many dwarf craftsmen as possible, but the total number of adult male dwarves in this tribe was only about a hundred people, even if everyone had similar to Master Lanu. level, but still not enough.

"Who told you that only adult male dwarves can forge our dwarves?" The dwarf patriarch Shiluka scoffed at Xu Yi's question. "Tell you, we dwarves have been accompanied by fine wine and stoves since we were born. Even the children of our clan are much more skilled than those craftsmen of your humans!"

Seeing the smug expression on Sluka's face and the incomparably agreeable eyes of Master Lanu and Camby next to him, Xu Yi knowingly did not refute, and thought for a while: "So respectful patriarch, may you please Can't I hire some highly skilled masters in the clan to assist Master Ranu in the work I entrusted to him?"

"As for your request, Ranu told me just now." Shluka nodded. "In theory, I have no reason to stop you. But human, have you ever thought about a question, if you take away a large number of clansmen from here, the lives of the remaining clansmen will definitely be greatly affected, and besides How can you guarantee that the people who go to work in your human city can live well enough and get their due remuneration smoothly?"

Xu Yi glanced at Master Lanu, and Lanu nodded lightly.

Master Lanu had already told Xu Yi about this problem on the way here, and this is also a problem faced by many dwarf tribes.

Although the various races on the Sainz Continent get along peacefully, after all, different races, if they live together, there will always be various problems.

For example, although Master Lanu is a recognized master forging in Bangta City, because of his dwarf status, his life in Bangta City has many inconveniences.

Although these doubts were raised by Sluka, they were also the doubts in the minds of most dwarves.

It is precisely because of these doubts that the dwarves still gather into a small tribe, and do not choose to live in groups with humans.

Xu Yi had already made up his mind about this, and said calmly: "Please rest assured, the patriarch, since I want to invite my dwarf friends to work, I will naturally solve these problems for them. Regarding life, I have discussed with Lanu before. Master has talked about it, and I believe Master Ranu has also told you."

"Well, you said that you should set aside a special area near the factory for the tribes to live, and build houses for them and solve their living problems, which is very good. But what about other aspects? Are you sure that my tribesmen will not be affected by your human beings? Exclusion and oppression?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Lord Patriarch, let me tell you a fact that I don't want to admit, that we humans are actually a very practical race, as long as the other party can bring us benefits, then we will get along with each other friendly, and I don't care about the race of the other party. I think you should agree to this, right?"

Sluka snorted coldly: "Of course I know."

"Since that's the case, then what else do you have to worry about? You see, Master Lanu is a good example. Although he is a dwarf, because of his outstanding forging skills, he can give a lot of money to Bangta City. People bring convenience and benefits, so he deserves the respect of many people in Bangta City. Maybe there are some inconveniences in his life, but these inconveniences don't really affect his life, do they?"

Master Lanu laughed with great cooperation, nodded and said, "That's true. The guys in Bangta City don't dare to offend me. There are many things that the human craftsmen in Bangta City can't do, they just You can only ask me to do it, how can you trouble me."

Sluka pondered for a moment, then continued: "Well, let's put this question aside for now. You took away a large number of our middle-aged clansmen, what about the remaining clansmen? You must know that although we dwarves love wine and forging , but also needs to live, whether it is hunting or harvesting, these tribes are required to contribute, if you take them away, the impact on our tribe will be too great."

"Lord Patriarch, I have a suggestion, don't listen to it."

"Go ahead."

"I plan to build a research room here, and I hope the dwarf friends of your tribe can help me research something. Of course, I will provide a fixed research fund every month. As for the amount...for the time being, it will be set at 500 gold coins. All right. If the research laboratory has specific research results, it will also give corresponding rewards according to the results, patriarch, what do you think of this proposal?"

As soon as the voice fell, the three dwarves present were stunned.

"Five hundred gold coins?" Master Ranu's eyes widened. "Xu Yi, why didn't you tell me you were going to build a research laboratory here?"

"Research room? Humans, we dwarves are only good at forging. What do you want us to research for you?" As the patriarch, Shluka was concerned about another aspect.

"Please rest assured, the research I need is related to forging, mainly related to forging materials. It just so happens that I have brought a research plan today, please take a look at the patriarch." Take out a document and submit it.

Sluka took the information and glanced at it, and was slightly taken aback: "Alloy steel? What is this?"

"The specific information is written on it, you can study it slowly, Patriarch," Xu Yi replied with a smile. "Now, the patriarch, do you have any questions? If there is any dissatisfaction, please feel free to speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely meet your requirements."

Sluka, Master Lanu and Camby exchanged glances with each other, and sighed softly: "Okay, human, I admit to being persuaded by you. I basically agree with your conditions and agree that you are in the tribe. Recruiting people, but we still need to discuss the specific details."

Xu Yi showed a happy smile: "Of course."
