Chapter 465 The Family of Stone Castle
(Ganked by Shen He, skipping a short section)
When Pete and Reina walked out of the Happy Hour Tavern holding hands At that moment, although neither of them said a word, Gale understood instantly.
Gail's awakening occurred earlier.
Miranda came forward as early as when Novin unlocked the [Rebirth] magic, and the two of them were already living together.
The girl's blush was worth a thousand words.
Don’t get me wrong.
Blushing refers to Reina being drunk.
Although her drinking can be described as massive, and she can drink a thousand cups of Stone Castle Spirits, which is an extremely high-concentration alcohol for humans, Reina drinks it just like drinking water.
But that doesn’t mean she won’t get drunk.
She can still stay awake enough, and she will become much bolder.
For example, right now, Pet is reminiscing about the wonderful feeling left on his lips and teeth.
"So you said before that you could only drink a little bit, actually because..."
Leina blinked her big eyes twice, her eyes flickered, and she smiled sweetly: "I To be honest, I can only drink a little bit.”
“I found out when I was helping in my father’s pub that I can drink a lot of all kinds of drinks.”
"I was actually a little more impulsive this time. Those dwarves are pretty good at drinking. I feel like if I keep drinking, I will almost get drunk."
The other three who were still sober were speechless.
Look at the way Reina speaks calmly and clearly now, how does she look like she is "about to get drunk"!
"Besides, when playing dice or something, I don't actually rely entirely on luck and drinking. I still have some advantages in the rules of this game." Reina explained with a smile: "The dice clock they use The dice are similar to the ones in my father's tavern. They are probably made by goblins."
"I can tell the number of 6 points by the sound of the collision."
"My success rate was not high before, and I could only succeed 2 or 3 times out of 10. But after being promoted to a third-level stalker, my hearing has been strengthened a lot, which has made my success rate much higher. "
Gail suddenly realized: "No wonder you always report the number of 6 points every time, because you almost know the result."
Rena smiled: "It may not be completely accurate. , but most of the time it’s accurate.”
……
The next day.
Because of Lena's relationship, not far from Happy Hour, the hotel where Peter was previously sent to rest happily vacated a room for the group.
After a good sleep, I finally regained some energy.
When I went to the happy hour bar again this time, the attitude of the dwarves took a 360-degree turn.
As soon as Lena walked into the bar hall, she was immediately treated grandly like a hero. The dwarves knocked on the table and wine glasses and welcomed Lena's arrival lively.
Use your own strength to drink down the whole bar.
This is a feat that even dwarves find difficult to accomplish.
It is normal to gain their respect because of this.
As for Pet and others, the dwarves' attitude towards them has also improved a lot. At least they no longer glare at others and are willing to communicate normally. Reina took the opportunity to ask about the information she wanted to find out in the bar:
"We have an incomplete clan card in our hand. We can't determine which dwarf family it belongs to. How should we find the corresponding family?"
"And - does anyone know about the Freeman family? Or a dwarf named Broon Freeman?"
Both questions were answered by the dwarves.
As for the clan card, the dwarves were all talking and it took a lot of effort to explain the general situation to Reina and others.
“Those who issue family cards are basically the big families in the stone castle. They will not live on this platform.”
“You have to continue going down to the platform below! ”
"No"
The unique vertical structure of the stone castle, from bottom to top, has a total of 5 layers of hollow circular platforms.
The first level at the bottom is the root of the Great Furnace, where the magma lake is located. Although there is plenty of light and fire, the too hot environment is not suitable even for dwarves. Long-term survival, so there is no permanent population of dwarves on this level.
However, many of the famous magical weapons and armors in history were almost all forged in the forges on this level by dwarves who mastered the magic of casting.
There is even a legend that the root of the Great Furnace has been blessed by the God of Forging and the God of Lava. Even an ordinary weapon can be forged, tempered and quenched here, and its quality will be the same. Climbing up a big step feels like receiving blessings from the gods.
On the second level near the magma lake, the most powerful and highest-status dwarves in the entire dwarf social structure live here, and the most famous families in the stone castle are here.
The bottom two floors have strict entry conditions. Dwarf guards are guarding the elevators. If you do not have a matching identity, you will not be allowed to enter.
The third floor in the middle is the backbone of dwarf society, the dwarves with the professions of forgers, brewers, and warriors stay here.
They either came from the big families below, or they were promoted from the dwarves with ordinary surnames above who showed their talent and strength.
The 4th floor above, which is the floor where Peter and the others are located, is home to a large number of ordinary dwarves who can basically "fend for themselves". It is also the floor with the largest population.
The top 5th floor is as uninhabited as the bottom floor. A large elevator lifts people and cargo directly from the foot of Edson's Wall. The goblin airship also docks here.
During the red tide of monsters, this place will also serve as the front line of stone castle defense.
Dwarves worship the strong, and "surname" is extremely important to them.
Strictly speaking, all the dwarves in the stone castle are related to the big families on the second level.
If a child born in a large dwarf family fails to meet the qualifications when he reaches adulthood, he will be issued a family card and expelled from the family, and will also lose his surname.
In the beginning, these dwarves lived on the 3rd and 4th floors of the stone castle above, where they reorganized their families and reproduced.
Unable to use the family name they were born with, they had to give themselves a new dwarf surname.
The number of dwarves in this group is increasing, which is why the stone castle is what it is today.
In other words.
In fact, if you pick up any dwarf here on the 4th floor, 3 or 4 generations up, he might be a dwarf from a big family on the 2nd floor of the stone castle. He might even be still alive. Drink After finishing a barrel of strong liquor, you can go into battle and kill monsters.
Of course, it’s just that the other party doesn’t recognize this descendant.
So regarding the surname "Freeman", some dwarves in the bar soon remembered the descendants related to this family.
"Your Excellency Yanhu seems to have left the Freeman family!"
