Chapter 1178 Dwarf Banquet
Otto Copperfurnace walked into the Dwarf King's Palace with a windy walk. He didn't look sideways all the way. He walked directly through the hall and sat on his throne.
Afterwards, all the dwarves who had just sat down stood up and saluted.
Although Shi Lei and Xie Liancheng were not ministers of the other party, basic etiquette was still required when meeting the king of another country.
With this thought in mind, the two of them also stood up, bowed slightly towards Otto Bronze Furnace, and then just saluted.
Immediately afterwards, Otto's breathy voice rang out.
"Everyone, sit down!"
While speaking, Otto's eyes fell on Shi Lei and Xie Liancheng.
At that moment, Xie Liancheng clearly felt a pressure that could not be ignored.
[This feeling. This guy named Otto is really strong! 】
The previous battles in the northeastern region had made Xie Liancheng clearly aware that there were strong men at the Vajra level on the greenskin side.
The size of the green-skinned army in Copperhearth Castle is even more exaggerated than that in the Northeast. It is a bit unrealistic to say that this obviously stronger green-skinned group does not have a strong man at the Vajra level.
Under this premise, in the previous battle, the strong man on the green-skinned side did not show up for a long time.
When such a situation occurs, there is only one possibility, and that is that there are strong men of the same level on the Copperhearth Castle side who have formed a check and balance, resulting in the strong men on both sides being unable to act rashly.
Balai has some strength, but not to that level. Jie Liancheng estimates that he is at the level of Hundred Refining Realm.
But this time, after meeting Otto Copperfurnace, King of Copperfurnace Castle, Jie Liancheng's doubts could be said to be completely dispelled.
Just as Jie Liancheng was thinking about this, Otto's voice rang again.
"This banquet is mainly to welcome our friends from Dazhou..."
As Otto spoke, he raised the wine barrel cup in his hand towards Shi Lei and Xie Liancheng.
"This is my first glass of wine, a toast to my friends!"
While talking, Otto drank the drink in one gulp with unusual boldness.
When Shi Lei and Xie Liancheng saw this, they had no choice but to quit.
Fortunately, this was not a high-altitude wine. It was probably rye beer. However, the brewing process was limited and the taste was very rough. Although the alcohol content was not high, the strong bitterness made Xie Liancheng confused.
In comparison, those dwarves drank like crazy.
Even Bale and Woking are no exception.
After all, wine is made from grain, and during wartime, grain was an important material, which also made wine basically a luxury item during wartime.
If it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Zhou Dynasty this time, it would not be so easy for these dwarves to have a sip of beer on weekdays.
Now that they have the opportunity, they must not drink to death?
During this process, what made Xie Liancheng a little concerned was that Otto, after a round of toasts, told his younger brother Bale to entertain him well, saying that he still had matters to deal with, and then left.
Logically speaking, as the host of this kind of banquet, Otto should leave it alone even if something happened. There is no excuse for leaving the party first.
Looking at Otto's leaving figure, Jie Liancheng couldn't help but be in a trance.
But before he could think too much, the eldest prince Balon came over to propose a toast.
This is undoubtedly a man who can drink. Shi Lei doesn't like to drink much on weekdays and has a limited capacity for alcohol. He obviously can't handle it anymore. When Xie Liancheng saw this, he quickly greeted him and helped Shi Lei stop the wine.
Before traveling through time, his drinking capacity was actually average, but he could still afford the beer.
I don't know how long I drank this. When the show ended, even Jie Liancheng's steps were a little sloppy.
[Damn, these dwarves are all a bunch of drunkards? ! 】
"Hoo——"
After returning to the camp, Xie Liancheng slumped down on the chair and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I've already asked someone to make hangover soup."
Since most of the wine was blocked by Jie Liancheng, Shi Lei was in pretty good shape at the moment.
After hearing this, Xie Liancheng waved his hand directly.
"It's okay, my mind is still clear."
As Xie Liancheng spoke, he patted his cheek hard, and then got straight to the point.
"The king of the dwarves is at least a strong man at the level of King Kong."
At this point, Jie Liancheng's voice paused.
"And the eldest prince is probably not a vegetarian either."
"You mean, there are two Vajra realms in Copperhearth Castle?"
Xie Liancheng shook his head.
"I'm not sure, Prince. I can only say it's possible."
When talking about this matter, Xie Liancheng really felt a little melancholy.
Originally, he had also begun to attack the Vajra Realm, but in the Northeast battle, he was overloaded and suffered injuries all over his body.
People often say that it takes a hundred days to break a muscle, but his condition at that time was more serious than injuries. It took almost a year just to recuperate from the injuries. During this period, he was unable to carry out high-intensity training, and even his strength showed up. Backsliding.
Later, although I came back from practice, I was still stuck at the bottleneck of this great realm and I didn't know how to break through, or I couldn't find the state.
Xie Liancheng probably knew what was going on with him.
This is probably PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder.
This situation also happens in the sports circle. For example, if a runner has a broken leg and recovers, the doctor will tell you that there is no problem at all and it will not affect subsequent training and competitions. However, your running performance will not be affected. But it dropped.
At first, you might think that this happens because you haven't run for too long and your competitive status has declined.
However, after actively training, he still couldn't run as fast as he did before the injury.
Many people may attribute this to injuries. It is very common for athletes who have been injured to be unable to return to their peak form.
In fact, it can be said that, but the real reason is probably because your subconscious mind is escaping. You are afraid that the leg will be broken again, so you dare not really run with all your strength!
Even the athletes themselves may not realize this.
Xie Liancheng was aware of this problem, but what could he do? Psychological problems like this cannot be easily solved once you know them.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Liancheng didn't let himself dwell on this issue for too long.
During this period, he seemed to remember something. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again...
"Oh, by the way, that dwarf king. I don't know if it's my imagination, but he seems to be injured."
Shi Lei was shocked when he heard this, and then his expression quickly became serious.
"In other words, before we came, the strong men on both sides had probably fought once."
"Most likely yes."
Jie Liancheng nodded, and then expressed his concerns.
"It's not scary to be injured. What's scary is that he is still injured, but the green-skinned strongman opposite has recovered. Don't forget, the green-skinned recovery power is amazingly strong!"
