Chapter 59 Underground
Morning, Hammer Street.
The name of this street seems out of place with Nolan, the capital of magic, but there is a reason why this street is called so.
When Qiao Xiu stepped into this street, there were far fewer human spellcasters than in other places in Nolan.
There were obviously more dwarves carrying hammers or axes, and the sound of hammering iron kept ringing from the surrounding shops.
The heat released by the furnaces used by the dwarves raised the temperature of the whole street a lot.
"Aren't you sleepy getting up so early?"
Ciri, who was following behind Qiao Xiu, yawned. Last night she stayed up late again. After finishing part of the original painting, she happily got the first draft of "This Devil Is Not So Cold".
"That's the norm for a creature like a programmer."
Joshua used to stay up all night on earth for three days and two ends. After coming to this world, Joshua possessed the physique of a chaotic demon, so he could stay up for a week without any problem.
"Program... what? Forget it... that old dwarf from last night came over."
Ciri had given up trying to understand Joshua's strange vocabulary, and pointed to the Frost Ax coming from the crowd of dwarves in the distance.
The human height stood out among the dwarves, and Frost Ax saw Joshua and Ciri at a glance.
"You are much more industrious than those lazy bastards!"
After Frost Ax walked all the way in front of Qiao Xiu, he extended his hand to Qiao Xiu enthusiastically, and Qiao Xiu held Frost Ax's hand politely.
A dwarf's hand is twice as big as a human's, and the thick callus on the surface is like a layer of armor.
The moment Joshua held the Frost Axe, he could feel many eyes on the street looking at him, most of them were humans.
Frost Ax is the great elder of the famous Frost Axe clan on this street. This clan is the most powerful among Nolan's dwarves, and Frost Axe's status among the dwarves is self-evident.
However, Qiao Xiu's face can make the dwarf elder go out to greet him in person. In theory, shouldn't Qiao Xiu be flattered?
"Mr. Frost Axe, aren't all the dwarves in your blacksmith shop forging iron?"
Qiao Xiu looked at the blacksmith's shop where Frost Ax walked out of. It was one of the largest blacksmith's shops on this street. There was at least a dozen dwarves working in this blacksmith's shop due to the sound of iron striking.
"You can only look at it in the morning, and you will have no strength in the afternoon. Let's go and talk below!"
Frost Ax seems to firmly believe in the truth that 'his own children must never boast'.
Joshua didn't say much either. Under his guidance, Joshua and Shirley walked into the blacksmith's shop.
The moment he stepped into the blacksmith shop, the temperature jumped from spring to hot summer all at once. Nolan's current season has just entered early winter.
Ciri pulled her clothes a little uncomfortable. The temperature here was not something Ciri could bear. The magic robe she was wearing had the function of keeping warm.
Joshua released the spell under the system of 'Wingerke, God of Flowing Water and Healing' believed by Ciri's sister Herlan, called 'Frost Spell', which lowered the temperature in a small area, and finally let Xili Li felt better.
After finishing all this, Qiao Xiu glanced around the blacksmith shop, and found that beside each iron furnace, there was a red lizard with a length of about one meter. The flames from their mouths became the fire for the dwarves to forge. .
This should be a kind of Warcraft. There are many magical animals in this world. If Joshua has time in the future, maybe he can make a film like "Animal World", or simply call it "Where are the Fantastic Beasts".
For now, focus on the business in front of you.
Frost Ax led Qiao Xiu to the depths of the blacksmith's shop. After arriving here, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot. After seeing the stairs on the floor leading to the ground, Qiao Xiu understood Frost Ax's words, "Let's talk below." 'What means.
"Don't fall behind."
Frost Ax walked down the stairs, and Joshua and Ciri also walked down the somewhat slippery stairs. About three minutes later, this underground city hidden in Nolan's underground and ruled by dwarves appeared In front of Joshua.
"Welcome to Blackstone Fort!"
Frost Ax proudly told Joshua the name of the city.
The entire city is integrated into the underground rock, and a large number of crazy crystals are inlaid in the upper rock layer, just like the stars at night.
Frost Ax led Qiao Xiu directly to a shop not far from the entrance, which was completely different from the dwarf smithy on the ground.
All kinds of raw crystals were stored in display cases made of glass, giving Qiao Xiu a sense of sight as if he had walked into a jewelry store.
"Choose a raw ore of raw crystal, and I will take care of the polishing. Before talking about the price, I will ask you one thing."
Frost Ax pondered this matter all night yesterday, that is, what is the meaning of the oval gemstone inlaid in the center of the card in "Hearthstone" with four colors of white, blue, purple, and orange.
"What official version are you talking about? Did everyone have the cards used in it from the beginning?"
"Of course not. Each account will have a basic deck at the beginning, but more powerful rare cards need to be collected by purchasing card packs, and it takes luck to open rare cards, such as Frost The weapon 'Bloodhowl' that Mister Ax used before is one of the rare cards." Qiao Xiu said.
At this time, Frost Ax finally discovered the real gameplay of the game, which is to draw cards.
No wonder there are no levels on those difficult-to-use cards, they were included as gifts from the very beginning! Frost Ax admits that some of them are really useful, but he definitely wants the card of Bloodhowl!
"Let's make a price! Use the raw crystals on it to exchange."
Frost Ax's impatient temper could not allow him to wait any longer, and he never believed in such illusory things as luck.
What's worse is that Frost Ax is notoriously bad luck among the dwarves. Every time he digs a mine, he can't find any good things, so when the dwarves dig a new mine, Frost Ax consciously stands far away. of.
"..."
Qiao Xiu glanced at the various raw crystals in the glass cabinet. The prices marked on the raw crystals were all around thousands of gold coins.
Exchange a bunch of data with thousands of gold coins? Maybe it wasn't worth it at all in Joshua's eyes, but it was worth it in Frost Ax's eyes.
This is the same as the primordial stones that only have the function of selling to humans in the eyes of Frost Axe, and they have no meaning at all to him.
And this is the scariest part of electronic commerce. There are countless people who are willing to spend money to buy a bunch of data that can be typed out with a few codes, and they still feel happy about it.
