Volume 1 Chapter 26 (1/2)

Steel alloy

If one directly calculated the distance, Master Lanus’ dwarven tribe was only less than two hundred kilometers away from Banta City.

But if one calculated based on travel distance, it was close to three hundred kilometers.

The over two hundred meters in the beginning could by traveled by sitting in a horse carriage, only at the mountain the dwarves lived on in the end, there were only twenty kilometers that needed to be traversed on foot.

To Master Lanus, this would only take a single day’s travel.

Xu Yi found after leaving Banta City in the morning that only when the sky turned dark could he see the dots of flames Master Lanus mentioned in front of them.

“Do you see it? Each flame is a forge, the fires in the forges of us dwarves are never extinguished!” When he said this, Master Lanus held his stomach that wasn’t that small and revealed a proud look.

It was a pity that Xu Yi already had no strength to talk to him after traveling for a day, but he also wasn’t interested in going along with him.

To Xu Yi’s sudden visit, the dwarves in the village were mostly surprised, but because Xu Yi came with Master Lanus, they were immediately welcomed. There was a grand welcoming feast held for them.

The dwarves loved wine, so naturally they used wine to greet guests.

Xu Yi couldn’t remember how many times his bowl had been filled and couldn’t remember at all how he passed out drunk, only when he opened his eyes after regaining consciousness, it was already bright out. It was already the morning of the next day.

Xu Yi shook his head and found that strangely it didn’t hurt, only he was a bit dizzy.

It seemed like the dwarves not only loved wine, they were very skilled in making wine. After drinking that much last night, he actually didn’t have a hangover the next day.

Of course, this was also thanks to Xu Yi’s tolerance being quite good.

On earth, as one of the best mechanical engineers of the country’s biggest mechanical engineering company, even if Xu Yi strictly controlled himself, he couldn’t avoid the various dinner appointments. His alcohol tolerance was also trained by this.

This wine fermenting technology of this world wasn’t as developed as on earth, so naturally the degree was far from being able to compare. This indirectly increased Xu Yi’s tolerance by a large amount.

“Hey, Xu Yi is it? Are you awake?” There was a thick voice that came from beside him.

Xu Yi turned over and saw a male dwarf with a rather large nose.

“You are……” Xu Yi scratched his head. He had an impression of this male dwarf, but he couldn’t think of his name.

“Ha, ha, just call me Camby.” The dwarf strongly slapped Xu Yi’s shoulder as he burst with laughter, “I thought that all humans couldn’t drink that much, but I never thought that you really could drink. You actually drank out two people before you collapse, not bad, not bad!”

Xu Yi laughed. The dwarves loved wine, so any man who could drink wine was a good person. The alcohol tolerance he displayed last night at the feast was a great stepping stone for me.

“Where’s Master Lanus? Why don’t I see him?” Xu Yi asked.

“That brat Lanus has gone to see the head, he said that he had something to discuss. That’s right, I almost forgot, he said that you could go see the head after you woke up. How about it? Are you going now? But you just woke up, it’s better to eat something before you go.”

Xu Yi rubbed his stomach, it was indeed empty, so he nodded.

Camby brought out two pancakes made of unknown ingredients that Xu Yi quickly finished. Then he asked Camby to lead him to the meeting with the head.

The dwarven tribe Lanus came from was not especially big. According to what Camby said, there was only around five hundred people in the entire dwarven tribe.

Xu Yi estimated according to what he observed. There should be around one hundred adult male dwarves in the dwarven tribe.

This made him a bit disappointed. He planned on recruiting enough dwarven workers this time, but the adult males of this tribe only added up to around a hundred people. Even if everyone had the same level of skill as Master Lanus, it was still a bit lacking.
