Chapter 31: Dwarven Steel Tower
"The last item is the Elf Wood Spirit Wine, the reserve price is 150,000 gold coins, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 gold coins."
The last item is definitely a good thing. Wood Spirit Wine is brewed by the elves and will never be exchanged with any human. Each bottle of wine is more than 50 years old, and many good ones are even more than 100 years old. It uses the spring water from the living spring next to the elf tree and the juice of the wood spirit fruit. It is specially processed and sealed for a long time. It is very precious even in the elves. The life span of the elves is generally very long. Most of them can live for more than 500 years, and some can live for thousands of years. It is estimated that the entire elves are the race with the most magicians. Basically every elf is a powerful magician. This kind of wine not only tastes mellow, but also can improve magic skills and increase affinity with magic elements. It is also very rare. Those who can enter the elves to steal are definitely at the top of the power, and some people who don't want to be famous. This thing is priced but not available. Even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it. Even the wine bottle is worth a lot of money. The wood magic circle on it is worth a lot of money. The price of this kind of wine should be able to reach 500,000.
The bidding for this kind of thing is much crazier, and it soon soared to 300,000 gold coins. Cage was surprised by their craziness. Isn't it just wine? It was as if he had never seen wine before. The wine industry in this world was relatively backward. It used a relatively primitive fermentation method. The wine brewed needed to be processed to a certain extent. It was very rough and had a low alcohol content, just like drinking a beverage. A 20-degree alcohol content was considered a high alcohol content, which was a good wine. With the amount of 3 liang of 55-degree liquor that Cage drank in his previous life, he could basically drink 2 liters of wine in this world. Cage actually wanted to do the winemaking business. He could still master the winemaking process through experiments, but he also understood that it was better not to appear for the time being. In the case of insufficient strength, it would definitely be coveted by others. He had no ability to protect this industry. Although he could not care how many people were making wine, it did not mean that others did not care.
"It's a pity that there is not enough money, otherwise I would definitely buy it and try it." Vidi said with regret.
"I guess we won't be able to enjoy it even if we buy it." Cage smiled slightly. Once other people know about this kind of thing, there will definitely be more powerful people coming to force you to hand it over. It's good to be able to drink a little bit, not to mention how much money you spend on it, are you willing to spend?
"Hehe." Weidi also laughed.
When the price soared to 600,000 and still didn't stop, Cage was sure that it was definitely a gift. It didn't make much sense to collect it himself. It all depended on who would end up with it.
In the end, it was sold for 700,000. I don't know which rich businessman bought it. Cage believed that this bottle of wine would not be kept in his hands for too long.
"Marquis Vidi, thank you for your hospitality today."
"Your Highness should be the one to thank you."
"When you are free that day, Your Excellency the Marquis, bring your golden eagle over and have a good exchange."
"Sure, sure."
The two got on their carriages at the door and went back to their respective houses. Cage wanted to see the hill dwarves he had bought. He had no habit of keeping slaves. He did not have a single slave in his house. The original slaves had regained their freedom, but they were willing to stay in the fighting insect house to serve Cage. Cage could not cut off the way of survival for others.
After returning to the house, Cage immediately ordered the hill dwarves he had bought to be sent up. The dwarves were branded with the mark of the magic contract. It was unknown which magician had invented this kind of contract magic, which was very insidious. Anyone who became a slave could be restricted by the magic contract in terms of his force and magic ability, and could even be killed at will. Cage had not studied the principle.
The hill dwarves were tied up.
"Loosen the ropes." Cage ordered the people who tied them up.
As soon as the rope was loosened, the dwarf threw the two people next to him out with one hand each. It seemed that he was very angry. He turned and rushed towards Cage, but a big hand had already pressed the dwarf's head. House is now an eighth-level warrior, and people who practice King Kong fighting are extremely powerful. A small dwarf will not cause any harm. Now the hill dwarf is like a child fighting with an adult, being pressed in place. No matter how he punches and kicks, he can't reach House. Cage thinks this scene is quite funny, and even thinks of the scene in Jackie Chan's "City Hunter" that he watched in his previous life, where Jackie Chan fought with a tall black man.
"Give each person 10 gold coins and let them go back to heal their injuries."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Holding the 20 gold coins given by Watson, the two servants who sent the dwarfs left with thousands of thanks. Just a fall can get 10 gold coins, which is equivalent to several months of wages. This fall is worth it.
If you want to control him, drop your blood on the contract, but Cage took out the magic contract and burned it in front of the hill dwarf. The hill dwarf was stunned and didn't understand what Cage meant.
"House, let him go!" Cage ordered House.
House let go of the hill dwarf, and the dwarf stood there stupidly and said something in dwarven language. Cage didn't understand it very well. After all, there are many languages on this continent, and he didn't understand it either.
"Hello, what's your name." Cage only knew a few simple sentences.
"Steel Tower." Hill dwarf Steel Tower spoke very quickly, mumbling, and Cage didn't understand a word.
"You, slow down, your language, I, am not good." Cage could only use simple words.
"Go home." Steel Tower finally understood that this person didn't speak dwarven language very well. In the entire continent, except for the humans who could do business with them, they could barely speak some dwarven language, and no one else could understand it at all, just like humans couldn't understand the language of the elves.
"You, can't go back now." Cage tried to explain to him that if he went back in his current condition, he would definitely be caught again. "You, go now, they, will catch you." Cage slowly understood the basic characteristics of the dwarven language and could barely understand a little bit. "Stay here first, I'll take you home later." Cage felt that it was the same as learning English in his previous life. He stuttered and couldn't speak clearly when communicating with foreigners for the first time. Finally, he found some feelings in his previous life.
The hill dwarf seemed to understand something and stood in the hall blankly without any reaction. In fact, although the dwarf was ugly, it was actually quite cute to Cage, a bit like a strong and skinny old man in China. Cage maliciously wondered what the women of the dwarf tribe looked like, and whether they were skinny old ladies.
"Agree, nod." Cage said with a smile.
The steel tower probably struggled for a long time and nodded. Probably because he thought Cage was a good person, he burned the contract, and then Cage found out that Steel Tower was actually quite powerful, and his strength was estimated to be around level 6. It seems that the creator of this world is fair, and is very fair to every race. They gave humans strong learning ability and creativity, but did not give people strong strength and body, gave dwarves a short stature, but gave them the ability of craftsmen and strong strength, etc. No race is absolutely strong, just like the dragon race. Maybe they are very powerful individually, but their fertility is very weak, so they don't dominate the world. Maybe there are a lot of humans, but they haven't completely conquered the world, and there are many places where their power cannot reach.
Cage asked Watson to arrange a place for Steel Tower to live. This seemingly silly dwarf also knew to thank him, which made Cage understand that the dwarves are not completely fools, but they are more closed. In the garden, Gangta saw the magic bear Xiaohei and immediately knelt down to worship Xiaohei. Later, Cage learned that the magic bear was their worship of power. They believed in the God of Fire and the God of the Earth. The magic bear was the representative of the God of the Earth on the mainland. It had a high status in the dwarf tribe and was also a kind of primitive totem worship. More importantly, there was a mysterious connection between the dwarves and the magic bear. The magic bear never harassed the dwarf tribe. Even if the dwarves encountered the magic bear, the magic bear would not attack them. The power of this magic bear greatly surprised Gangta. Even though he had only heard the elders talk about the ninth-level magic bear, there were very few ninth-level ones in the history of the dwarves, and the records were not detailed. If you break through the ninth level and reach the tenth level, it is a holy-level magic beast. The subsequent upgrades can no longer be recorded with the current level of the continent.
Cage saw Gangta kneeling in front of Xiaohei and praying constantly, while mumbling something, but he didn't understand what he was saying. Seeing Xiaohei squatting and receiving Gangta's prayers, Cage wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't bother him out of respect for the national beliefs.
Gangta stood up and looked at Cage again with a completely different look, with a hint of envy, and more of a kind of respect. Anyone who becomes the master of a magic bear should be respected, let alone a level nine magic bear.
