Chapter 916 Ice Shrimp (Part 2)
The deep night, the stars of the gods, dot the night sky, and the moonlight shines on the earth. This kind of tranquil beauty cannot be described in words.
Life living on earth, whether humans or other species, can freely enjoy this gift from nature.
They can all live peacefully in this environment that is gifted by nature without any scruples.
But there are also many species that cannot enjoy the wealth given by nature. Even the most common sunshine, moonlight, white clouds, and starlight do not belong to them.
At this time, the dark blue night sky was a slight dark black, which made the stars dotted in the night appear brighter.
On the ground, the grass sways gently in the breeze, and some falling leaves are dancing casually in the wind. This kind of picture is actually not uncommon for this city shrouded in the night.
Most of the people who have been busy all day have fallen asleep and are sleeping soundly.
Just below this sleeping city, the vast and terrifying dark area extends with it.
A series of caves and tunnels that stretch for several miles form an underground world, and a living hole with streams and rivers is filled with signs of life and can often sustain life.
Below this city, a living hole area maintains the existence of a city.
This city did not fall into a deep sleep with the arrival of night. On the contrary, this city is still very lively at this time.
Or, it can be said that the day here has just begun.
This city, located deep underground, is really large in scale, and is a small underground kingdom, residential and commercial areas, with all kinds of everything, which makes it a feeling that although sparrows are small, they are all complete.
The dwarf city is connected by countless large and small passages, with many large and small caves inside, living in families.
No race mainly relies on mining.
There is a murine wheat in the dark area, which is a kind of fungus that has long been fully adapted to this harsh environment of light.
The spores of mushroom wheat can be ground into nutrient-rich flour to make bread, which is the lifeline of the dark area.
At this time, if you look at it from the perspective of God, you can see a large field of mushroom wheat, and countless dwarves are busy, farming and managing.
Secondly, the plant is planted with a lace, which can be ground and fermented into a spirit, which is also the vast majority of the source of dwarf wine.
Of course, there are also miners. After all, there are abundant minerals underground. If they do not collect and exchange materials for humans through limited trade, they are not just smart races.
At this time, some incidents broke out in a mining area.
These dwarves are all very short. The height of an ordinary human is twice their height, and their body proportions are very coordinated. If we look at them from the overall perspective, they are all considered to be in a golden proportion.
The mining area is responsible for this big businessman Pukat in the dwarf city. Among the dwarfs, he is a dwarf with a very business mind. He has a lot of assets.
Of course, his assets refer to things that can be used in the daily life of dwarves, such as a large amount of food, weapons, crystals, and these are very important general currencies and daily necessities in dwarves cities.
It is precisely because he owns a lot of such assets that he has hired many people to help him do things. Even the mining industry in this city has been involved. Although he is helping the tribe to do this, he can also make a lot of profits from it.
At this moment, in front of him, there was a picture that made him feel a little stressed, and a group of unemployed people in the city stood in front of him.
Where there are cities, there will be gaps between the rich and the poor. This sentence applies to both human cities and dwarf cities.
"What do you want to do?"
This group of people surrounded him, with hostility in countless pairs of eyes, and among these hostility, there was a hint of fear. This was an ambivalent attitude towards the powerful.
"Pukat, I didn't expect you to do this too. Have you forgotten who you are? You are a dwarf, not a despicable human, not a cunning elf, not a barbaric orc, you are a dwarf, not? Have you forgotten your responsibility?" A dwarf asked, looking very angry.
Pukat smiled. His smile was a completely contemptuous smile. He looked down on these tribes opposite him, so naturally there was no respect.
"What you say now is very ridiculous. Who am I? Who are you? Do you think you can do what I can do?"
"You can't do it, what qualifications do you have to question me? I can provide my own strength for the development of the city. What do you do? What else can you do besides working hard? Or, you are a little troublesome even when working hard, right?" Pukater's words were indeed very mean.
The group of dwarves on the opposite side were very angry when they heard this.
These dwarves were once workers hired by Pukat. Some time ago, in order to save their own wealth, Pukat increased the workload of workers and cut the number of workers. As a result, the group of workers unexpectedly lost their jobs.
According to the custom of dwarves, if there is no mistake, workers cannot be cut at will. Even if workers are cut, they must be compensated for money.
But Pukat did not make any compensation, and the workers were very angry, so today, they rushed here and blocked Pukat and asked him to give an explanation.
"If God is still there, your shameless words will definitely be hated by God." A slightly older dwarf said angrily.
Looking at the aging look of the dwarf, Pukat spoke more and more meanly.
"You old guy, you are so old, and you are still here to join in the fun. I hired you before, because I felt sorry for you. Why? Do you really think that you can still find a good job with me at your age? You are so unhappy. At least I have hired you for a while to give you some food, right?"
"You..." The older dwarf suddenly turned pale with anger after being sarcastic by Pukater.
The person next to him said, "Pukat, you are just a guy who doesn't know how to respect God!"
"Haha, I don't know how to respect God? Do you guys, don't you still recognize the reality?"
"There is no God, no God, our dwarfs have long since no God's blessing! We can only rely on ourselves, do you understand?" Putka said loudly. In fact, when he said this, his mood was sour and full of pain.
My own clan has no blessing from God, so he is getting more and more depressed. There is really nothing to be proud of.
Among the dwarves, people like him have also appeared, because they have not had the blessing of God for a long time, which has made these dwarves feel desperate.
What can't be done by a dwarf in a state of despair?
Putka is a prominent representative of it. He used to be a kind and skillful dwarf craftsman, but when he grew up, he also experienced the confusion of faith and the trough of life. Finally, he broke out.
Since there is no God, let’s make your life more comfortable, and no one else needs to pay attention to it.
This is his psychology at this time.
When the dwarves present heard Putka's words, the faces darkened.
Yes, there is no God, and now they have no God...
Without God, he was defeated in front of the race protected by God, and the dwarves once lived on the ground, that bright ground!
Yes, dwarves are good at mining, but this is not the reason for living underground.
Living underground, dwarves' lifespan is 30% lower on average.
Moreover, due to the limited production of mushroom wheat, many dwarves had to work hard to mine and sold these metals to humans at a low price in exchange for food and supplies.
The pain of countless years was heavy and heavy, settled in the hearts of all dwarves.
"Who said that our dwarfs have no gods?" A cold voice suddenly rang out not far away.
"Ah! It's Lord Ituka!" a dwarf shouted.
Other dwarves, including Putka, have seen clearly who the speaker is. It turns out that the person who speaks is not someone else, but a very famous person in this dwarf city, a young nobleman, and the hereditary type.
This person is said to have the purest dwarf bloodline. Even Putka, who is rich and powerful, has to lower his noble head in front of this person.
"Putka has met Lord Ituka!" Without even bothering with those guys, Putka saluted the nobles in front of him very respectfully.
Ituka had a faint anger on her pretty face: "You just said, we dwarves have no gods, right?"
"Yes, but, I was going to say..." Putka wanted to explain.
"No need to explain, I understand what you mean. Do you want to say, this is the truth?" Ituka said lightly: "However, I can tell you clearly now that although our dwarf tribe does not have God now, this does not mean that our dwarf tribe will never have the blessing of God. In terms of words and deeds, you should still pay attention to it, so as not to appear as a sacrifice, and you will be the first to be regarded as a sacrifice!"
If someone else said this, Putka would definitely sarcastically.
But it's a different story to speak.
"Yes...but, Lord Ituka, will we dwarfs really have a god appear?" Putka responded respectfully, not daring to disobey, but when he saw that he was about to go away, he couldn't help asking.
"Yes." Ituka glanced at it, said simply, and after that, he turned around and left.
