Chapter 26 Alloy Steel

If we count it in a straight-line distance, the dwarf tribe from Master Lanu is about 200 kilometers away from Bangta City.

But if the whole journey is included, it is nearly 300 kilometers.

Fortunately, at first, I could take a carriage to quickly pass by more than 200 kilometers, but when I finally entered the mountain where the dwarf tribe was located, it was more than 20 kilometers away and it was just walking.

As Master Lanu said, the trip took a whole day.

Xu Yi set out from Bangta City in the morning and was not until it was dark when it was completely dark and saw the light of fire in front of him under the guidance of Master Lanu.

"Did you see it? Those fires are fires, and the fires in our dwarf tribe will never go out!" When he said this, Master Lanu stood up with his already large belly, full of pride.

Unfortunately, Xu Yi has been tossed by the journey of this day so hard that he has no energy to speak, so he has no tactful agreement with him.

The dwarves in the tribe were somewhat surprised by Xu Yi's sudden visit, but because Xu Yi came with Master Lanu, he was immediately welcomed by the enthusiastic dwarves and immediately held a grand welcome banquet.

Dwarves are good at wine, so they are naturally mainly used to entertain guests.

Xu Yi didn't remember how many bowls of wine he had been poured, nor did he remember how he had slept to death. But when he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he found that it was already bright, and it was the morning of the next day.

Xu Yi shook his head and found that it was surprisingly not very painful, but he felt a little dizzy.

It seems that the dwarf is not only good at wine, but also has great skills in brewing wine. He drank so much last night but was not popular the next day.

Of course, this is also a blessing for Xu Yi to drink well.

On earth, as one of the top mechanical engineers in the largest mechanical engineering company in China, no matter how strict Xu Yi controls himself, he can't escape the numerous dinners. This is how he can practice his drinking capacity.

The distilled wine technology in this world is not as good as the highly developed world, and the wine is naturally far below the level, which indirectly increases Xu Yi's alcohol volume.

"Hey, Xu Yi, right? Are you awake?" A rough voice sounded next to him.

Xu Yi turned his head and saw a male dwarf with an extra-large nose.

"You are..." Xu Yi scratched his head, and had an impression of this male dwarf in his heart, but he couldn't call his name.

"Haha, just call me Cambi." The dwarf patted Xu Yi's shoulder vigorously and laughed loudly. "I originally thought that humans' alcohol tolerance was not very good, but I didn't expect you to be very good at drinking. Yesterday, I actually let two people fall down. It's not bad!"

Xu Yi smiled and thought that the dwarves were good at drinking, so he regarded those who could drink as heroes. The alcohol tolerance he showed last night became a good stepping stone.

"Where is Master Lanu? Why didn't you see him?" Xu Yi asked.

"The boy Ranu went to see the clan leader and said there was something to talk about. By the way, he almost forgot. He said that he could also see the clan leader after you get up. How about it? Do you want to go now? But you just got up, so you should eat something to fill your stomach before going."

Xu Yi touched his stomach, and felt as if it was empty, so he nodded.

Kambi quickly brought two pancakes made of unknown ingredients. Xu Yi hurriedly finished eating and asked Kambi to lead the way to meet the patriarch.

The dwarf tribe from Ranu is not particularly large. According to Cambi, the total number of dwarfs fell was only more than 500.

Xu Yizhe estimated based on what he saw that the adult male dwarves in this dwarf tribe may have a total of about one hundred people.

This disappointed him. He came this time to recruit as many as possible dwarf craftsmen, but the adult male dwarves in this tribe were only about one hundred. Even if everyone had the same level as Master Lanu, they were still a little insufficient.

"Who told you that we dwarves can only forge them by adult male dwarves?" Shiluka, the chief of the dwarves, scoffed at Xu Yi's question. "Tell you, we dwarves have been with fine wine and stoves since we were born. Even the children in our tribe are much more skilled than those of you human craftsmen!"

Looking at Sluka's proud expression and the look of Master Lanu and Cambi next to him who agreed with each other, Xu Yi tactfully did not refute it, and thought for a while: "So respected clan leader, can you ask me to hire some masters with superb skills in the clan to assist Master Lanu to complete the work I entrusted to him?"

"Lanu has already told me about your request just now." Sluka nodded. "Mathematically, I have no reason to stop you. But humans, have you ever thought about a question: If you take away a large number of tribe members from here, the lives of our remaining tribe members will inevitably be greatly affected. Besides, how can you ensure that the tribe members who work in your human city can live well enough and get the reward they deserve smoothly?"

Xu Yi glanced at Master Lanu and nodded slightly.

Master Lanu had already told Xu Yi about this problem on the way he came, and this is also a problem faced by many dwarf tribes.

Although the races on the Continent of Synes are still peaceful, after all, different races will always have various problems if they live together.

For example, although Master Lanu is a recognized forging master in Bangta City, his dwarf status has many inconveniences in life in Bangta City.

Although these doubts were raised by Sluka, they were also the doubts in the minds of most dwarves.

It is precisely because of these doubts that the dwarves are still gathering together into a small tribe and do not choose to live in groups with humans.

Xu Yi had already made accusations about this and said calmly: "Please rest assured, the clan leader. Since I want to invite my dwarf friends to work, I will naturally solve these problems for them. Regarding life, I have talked to Master Lanu before, and I believe Master Lanu has also told you."

"Well, you said you would set up a special area near the factory for the tribes to live, build houses for them and solve life problems, which is great. But what about the other aspects? Are you sure my tribes will not be excluded and oppressed by you humans?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Master, let me say something that I am not willing to admit, that is, we humans are actually a race that pays great attention to reality. As long as the other party can bring benefits to us, they will get along with each other in a friendly manner without caring about what race the other party is. I think you should agree with this?"

Sluka snorted coldly: "Of course I know."

"Since that's the case, what else do you have to worry about? You see, Master Lanu is a good example. Although he is a dwarf, because of his outstanding forging skills, he can bring convenience and benefits to many people in Bonta City. Then he naturally received respect from many people in Bonta City. Perhaps his life has some inconveniences, but these inconveniences have not really affected his life, right?"

Master Lanu laughed very well and nodded, "That's true. Those guys in Bonta City dare not offend me. There are many things that the human craftsmen in Bonta City can't do, so they can only ask me to do, so how can they cause trouble for me?"

Sluka pondered for a moment and continued, "Okay, let's put aside this issue first. You took away a large number of our top tribesmen. What should we do if the remaining tribesmen are? You must know that although we dwarves love fine wine and forging, they also need life. Whether it is hunting or harvesting, they all need the efforts of these tribesmen. If you take them away, it will have a great impact on our tribe."

"Clan leader, I have an offer, you don't want to listen."

"Tell me."

"I plan to build a research room here, and I hope that the dwarf friends of your tribe will help me study something. Of course, I will provide a fixed research fund every month. As for the amount... it will be temporarily set at 500 gold coins. If the research room has specific research results, it will also provide corresponding rewards based on the results. Master, what do you think of this proposal?"

As soon as the words were finished, the three dwarves present were stunned.

"Five hundred gold coins?" Master Lanu widened his eyes. "Xu Yi, why didn't you tell me before that you were going to build a laboratory here?"

"Learning room? Humans, we dwarves are the only ones who are good at forging. What do you want us to study for you?" As the patriarch, Sluka is concerned about another aspect.

"Please rest assured, the research I need is related to forging, mainly some research related to forging materials. I have brought a research plan today. You might as well take a look, Master, you may as well take a look." Xu Yi took out a piece of information from his arms and submitted it to him.

Sluka took the information and glanced at it, and was slightly stunned: "Alloy steel? What is this?"

"The specific information is written on it. You can study it slowly in the future," Xu Yi smiled. "Now, may I ask the leader, do you have any questions? If there are any dissatisfactions, please speak up. As long as I can do it, it will definitely meet your requirements."

Sluka, Master Lanu and Camby exchanged glances with each other a few times and sighed softly: "Okay, human, I admit that you were moved by you. I basically agree with your terms and agree that you will recruit people in the tribe, but we still need to discuss the specific details."

Xu Yi smiled happily: "Of course."
