Chapter 247: Chapter 146: Knowledge-Loving Dwarves, Blacksmith in Place_2 Chapter 247: Chapter 146: Knowledge-Loving Dwarves, Blacksmith in Place_2 Nodded from ti to ti.
You should know, the scale of Cao Xing’s territory was very good even among the natives.
And as they entered the tavern,
the warmth provided by the heating pipes ca in waves.
Wrapped in thick cotton coats, Putana and the dwarf Harold had looks of astonishnt on their faces.
“What a warm tavern…”
“Yes, Putana, how many years has it been since we felt such warmth?”
In this extrely cold world, warmth was a luxurious thing.
Many lives went from birth to death without ever experiencing temperatures above zero.
Cao Xing turned his head and said, “This is our territory’s infrastructure. Every subject’s house has the sa living environnt.”
“And at night, they sleep with thick quilts, comfortably passing the cold winter nights.”
Hearing this, the two showed a solemn respect on their faces.
The dwarf Harold earnestly said, “You are truly a considerate lord!”
At this mont, Rach, who had changed into formal attire, was standing at the bar.
Seeing Cao Xing,
Rach respectfully said, “Lord, you are here.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Prepare two glasses of liquor for our guests.”
“Okay, esteed lord,”
After saying this, Rach turned to open the liquor cabinet.
Seeing this, the giantess Putana said, “Wait a minute.”
“How do you charge for drinks here? Don’t try to overcharge us. We won’t pay!”
She appeared very astute. Years of wandering had made this giantess untrusting of others.
However, Cao Xing shook his head with a smile and said, “No charge, consider it my treat.”
Hearing this, Putana and the dwarf exchanged glances and said no more.
A few minutes later, Rach brought over two glasses of mixed liquor.
The rich fragrance of the liquor spread out.
The nearby dwarf couldn’t control himself and downed the drink in one gulp.
Then exclaid, “By the gods, this is Vidima Champion Liquor, such a rich and strong aroma!”
Nearby, Putana also took a small sip, a look of appreciation in her eyes.
“Lord, you have a prosperous territory and fine liquor, thank you for your hospitality.”
Cao Xing smiled and said, “You’re welco.”
“I am Lord Cao Xing, it’s a pleasure to et you.”
The giantess and the dwarf blacksmith replied at the sa ti,
“Wandering rcenary: Putana!”
“Dwarf Harold, we are also pleased to et you.”
Cao Xing nodded and continued to ask, “Have you two always lived in the Gale Snow Plain?”
After a drink, the two’s deanor softened.
Putana shook her head and said, “We co from the Southern Continent, where the Giant Clan and the Dwarf Clan mainly live, it’s also our holand.”
“Because of my half-giant status, I am not welcod by my Giant Clan, and humans see as a monster. Only Harold looks at without prejudice.”
“And Harold, too, faced exclusion in his clan.”
“So, Harold and I resolutely decided to leave the clan, took a goblin airship, and after many years, arrived at the Western Continent from the Southern Continent.”
Upon saying this, Putana appeared a bit distressed, “But crossing a continent was really too difficult. Along the way, we encountered many bad things, several tis we were separated and then reunited.”
“We even nearly died.”
“However, I feel fortunate that during our wandering, we beca husband and wife.”
At this, a happy smile appeared on Putana’s face.
“My husband Harold is a man full of wisdom. During our journey, it was often his knowledge that led us out of danger.”
Hearing this, the dwarf beside her appeared a bit embarrassed.
“Putana… I’m not as great as you say…”
Cao Xing smiled and said, “Mr. Harold’s aura is deep; he indeed seems very talented.”
Harold beca even more embarrassed, “I’m not good at fighting, nor do I like it.”
“Because of this, I was ostracized by other dwarves.”
“In my life, there is only forging, reading, and Putana.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing beca pensive.
This was a dwarf who liked reading.
And last night, he found over sixty ancient books among those funerary artifact bags.
He wondered whether these could attract this dwarf?
Cao Xing decided to give it a try.
In the next mont, he took out all the books.
A small mountain of books appeared on the table.
Harold exclaid, “By the gods! So many books?”
He lunged forward like a drunkard seeing fine liquor.
“Healing and Care, Alchemy Talk, The King’s Won… My god, these are all books I’ve never read.”
He held two books, eyes filled with disbelief.
“Lord, are you also a lover of knowledge?”
Cao Xing smiled and said, “Of course, in my holand, there’s a saying that knowledge is power. We all greatly value knowledge.”
Upon hearing this, Harold showed solemn respect.
Cao Xing saw the eagerness in his eyes and seized the opportunity, “Mr. Harold, like you, I love knowledge and enjoy reading.”
“And I will also bring back more books later, and build a library of our own in the near future.”
“With your help, it could certainly speed up the process.”
“So, I hope you both can stay, and then assist in creating a territory filled with knowledge.”
