Chapter 766: Dwarfs

The forces of the Cold Wind City scolded Victor Hugo too much, the old Borg scolded, and Bruno, the dwarf man in the forge. He was grabbing a sloshing ale and smashing it the wooden table, shouting loudly with a clatter:
"Our lord is so evil. He is fierce, cruel, and ruthless, and is the most terrible monarch in the world. Anyone who does not obey him must die, including you."
In front of the wooden table were dozens of stout dwarves with long beards, one after another glaring at Bruno. They are hilly dwarves and enemies with the gray dwarves from the dark areas. No one looks good on either side.
Bruno shook his head and dazzled with red light. The ale in his glass was a highly distilled wine, which made him dizzy when he smelt it, but this guy had already drank a small barrel, and his tongue was knotted.
Even though he was drunk, Bruno did not forget to brag, blowing hard.
"No one in the cold wind city will buy your bad goods. Your weapons and armor are all inferior, and they are so expensive. Who will want it? Your lord will definitely not buy it.
The whole Northland is buying cold wind city products, our goods are good and cheap, from order to delivery will not exceed one month. Can you do it? Can't do it! "
Bruno said he was also pointing to the wall next to the table. "Look at the weapons hanging on this wall. These are made by our forging plant after a second upgrade.
The secrets of quenching and annealing that you regard as top secrets are not secrets at all. You all know the recipe for adding magical elements.
The skills you have worked out for decades are not worth mentioning in front of high-temperature furnaces and hydraulic forging machines. Our apprentices can create master-level products in just one year. How long do you want?
What's more important is that your production is too small, it is too little. The daily output of our forging plant is worth the year of your tribe. How do you fight with us?
The entire Northland weaponry market is occupied by Hanfengcheng, and you cannot win us at all. So, you all have to die, starve to death, die from poverty, cry in the tribe! "
Bruno shouted loudly, his body swayed, his short stooped body swooped down, and fell under the table. Within a few seconds, he could hear his snore below.
The glass of ale was not finished yet, and Bruno was also brought down when he fell. The liquor spilled from the table and some of it fell on his face. The guy knew he would drink it when he opened his mouth.
The hilly dwarves at the table were silent, angry and frowning at each other.
The rise of the Cold Wind City has had a huge impact, which not only made the human nobles in the north unsuitable, but also caused different changes in the production and life of other races.
The most obvious thing is that the price of metal products in the North has fallen sharply. The heavy carriage of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce has bought goods that are indispensable for human beings to every corner of the North.
Among them, weapons and equipment are still second, but they are the best selling tools for daily life such as pots and pans.
Before old Borg had a cauldron in Voodoo Swamp, he was considered a local tyrant. Now basically every household in Hanfeng City has a complete set of cooking tools. This has brought about huge changes in life.
The agriculture in Hanfeng City is developing rapidly, but the food is still not enough. Selling metal tools for food has become an indispensable trade.
The price of this dumping is that the Northland Dwarf tribe, which was originally in this business, will not be able to survive immediately.
No matter how hard the dwarves work, they can't bear the three dams and seven hydraulic forging machines of different specifications built by Zhou Qingfeng.
With the deepening of Alsie's understanding of machinery, as well as the upgrade of Zhou Qingfeng's grades, heavier parts and accessories, today Fuqiang leads the strongest hydraulic forging machines with 150 kg of forging hammers.
Mo Ji even installed a small hydraulic machine with real parts to produce exquisite small pieces of metal.
As for metal smelting, there is a leapfrog development. The precise use of trace elements allows the forge to produce low-level magic equipment.
The newly-built iron-making furnace and coke oven can produce 20-30 tons of molten steel per day. Modern technology has enabled Hanfeng City to develop by leaps and bounds in manufacturing.
In terms of metal products, regardless of quality or output, the dwarves have nowhere to go.
Over time, this situation has worsened. Alsie and Sofia are piloting small-horsepower steam engines. The key cylinders and crankshafts can completely bring Zhou Qingfeng from reality.
Even sealed artifacts such as rubber pads can be used directly.
When the steam engine breaks through, let alone the dwarf, the entire blacksmith of Feren will feel threatened.
"Except for magic, don't think of anything else that will grieve His Excellency Victor Hugo." Bruno fell to the ground and mumbled, "You are still not attached, when do you want to get it?"
The hilly dwarf turned his head and stared at Bruno at the bottom of the table. Someone whispered: "Is this really drunk? Wouldn't it be pretend?"
Another dwarf shouted indignantly: "This guy must be scaring us. The gray dwarf is not a dwarf, they are a group of dark elves, very cunning."
As soon as this was said, the gray dwarf on the ground did not speak, nor smashed his mouth, only snoring sounded. A dozen dwarves at the table were still frowning and facing painful choices.
The cold dumping of commodities dumped the dwarven tribes of the Northland one by one to be bankrupt. Except for mining, this race is for iron, and no other production is possible.
Lord Hugo opened up to purchase ore. The profitability of mining was too low, and the money earned was not enough to buy alcohol or drink. The dwarves were always in a dilemma and had to gather to send a request to Hanfengcheng-can they sell less iron?
Naive!
Upon hearing this request, Zhou Qingfeng sent Bruno, the gray dwarf, to talk to several dwarf leaders. He did not set any negotiation requirements, but just let Bruno do it.
The grey dwarves were cunning and black, and when they saw the hilly dwarves, they threatened and threatened them. They moved the products of their forging yard out to these relatives in distant houses to tell them that they would die without surrendering.
Obviously came to talk about business and quota, but received death threats. The hilly dwarfs are going to war. Bruno, who can blow the cowhide, fell down, and they couldn't care about a drunk.
Some swords and armor hang on the wall beside the table, all revealing a faint wave of magic. This is the effect of correct doping of trace elements. Either reinforce, or resist magic, or sharp.
It is also easier and more effective to enchant these items again. If you buy one of these weapons, you can buy two or three thousand gold coins, which can be the treasure of the low-level nobles for generations.
However, this thing is still a common commodity in Hanfengcheng, and it is a standard product that can be equipped in large quantities.
The dwarves visited the Infantry Regiment in the Cold Wind City during the day. The Rock Infantry Battalion had just been expanded, and the three hundred heavy infantry fully armed shock was very deterrent.
Several dwarf leaders communicated with their eyes at the table, communicating silently with gestures. After a while, they kicked Bruno who was drunk on the ground. "Grey dwarf, get up. Don't pretend, let's talk again."
Bruno jumped up and yelled violently: "You are a dwarf, your whole family is a dwarf, and your whole family is a dwarf. Why do you call me a dwarf?"
