Chapter 465 The Stone Castle Family
(I was ganked by Shen He and skipped a short paragraph)
When Pete and Lena walked out of the Happy Hour Tavern holding hands, although they didn't say a word, Gale understood instantly.
Gale's awakening came earlier.
As early as when Novin unlocked the [Rebirth] magic, Miranda came forward and the two of them were already living together.
The girl's blush was worth a thousand words.
Don't get me wrong.
Blushing refers to Reina being drunk.
Although her ability to drink could be described as massive, and she could drink a thousand glasses of Stone Castle Spirits, which was an extremely high-concentration alcohol for humans, Reina drank it no differently than water.
But that doesn't mean she won't get drunk.
She can still stay awake enough, and she will become much bolder.
For example, right now, Peter was savoring the wonderful feeling left on his lips and teeth.
"So you said before that you could only drink a little bit, but actually it was because..."
Reina blinked her big eyes twice, her eyes flickered, and she smiled sweetly: "I'm telling the truth, I can only drink a few hundred million points."
"I discovered when I was helping out in my father's pub that I can drink a lot of all kinds of drinks."
"I was actually a little more impulsive this time. Those dwarves are pretty good at drinking. I feel like I will almost get drunk if I drink any more."
The other three people who were still awake were all speechless.
Look at the way Rena speaks calmly and clearly now, she doesn't look like she's "about to get drunk soon"!
"Besides, when playing dice, I don't actually rely entirely on luck and drinking. I still have some advantages in the rules of this game." Reina explained with a smile: "The dice clock and dice they use are in my father's tavern. The ones in there are similar, probably all products of goblins.”
"I can roughly tell the number of 6 points by the sound of the collision."
"In the past, my success rate was not high, and I could only succeed 2 or 3 times out of 10. But after being promoted to a third-level stalker, my hearing has been strengthened a lot, which has made my success rate much higher. ”
Gale suddenly realized: "No wonder you directly report the number of 6 points every time you predict, because you actually almost know the result."
Reina smiled: "It may not be completely accurate, but most of the time it is accurate."
…
The next day.
Because of Lena's relationship, not far from Happy Hour, the hotel where Peter was previously sent to rest happily vacated a room for the group.
After a good sleep, I finally regained some energy.
This time I went to the happy hour bar again, and the attitude of the dwarves changed completely.
As soon as Lena walked into the bar hall, she was immediately treated as grandly as if she were a hero. The dwarves knocked on the table and wine glasses and welcomed Lena's arrival lively.
He drank the entire bar by himself.
This is a feat that even dwarves find difficult to accomplish.
It's only natural to gain their respect for this.
As for Pet and others, the dwarves' attitude towards them has also improved a lot. At least they no longer glare at people and are willing to communicate normally.
Reina took the opportunity to ask about the information she wanted to find out in the bar:
"We have an incomplete clan card in our hand. We can't determine which dwarf family it belongs to. How do we find the corresponding family?"
"And - does anyone know about the Freeman family? Or a dwarf named Bron Freeman?"
Both questions were answered by the dwarves.
Regarding the clan card, the dwarves were all shouting and talking, and it took a lot of effort to explain the general situation to Reina and others.
"Those who issue family cards are basically the big families in the stone castle. They will not live on this platform."
"You have to keep going down to the platform below!"
"No"
The stone castle has a unique vertical structure, with a total of 5 levels of hollow circular platforms from bottom to top.
The first layer at the bottom is the root of the Great Furnace, where the magma lake is located. Although there is plenty of light and fire, the too hot environment is not suitable for long-term survival even for dwarves, so this layer The layer has no permanent population of dwarves.
However, many of the famous magical weapons and armors in history were almost all forged in the forges on this level by dwarves who mastered the magic of casting.
There is even a legend that the root of the Great Furnace has been blessed by the God of Forging and the God of Lava. Even an ordinary weapon can be forged, tempered and quenched here, and its quality can rise to a big level. Blessed by the gods.
On the second level near the magma lake, the most powerful and highest-status dwarves in the entire dwarf social structure live here, and the most famous families in the stone castle are here.
The two lowest floors have strict entry conditions. Dwarf guards are guarding the elevators. If you do not have a matching identity, you will not be allowed to enter.
The third layer in the middle is the backbone of dwarf society, the dwarves with the professions of forgers, brewers, and warriors stay here.
They either came from the big families below, or they were promoted from the dwarves with ordinary surnames above who showed their talent and strength.
The fourth floor above, which is the floor where Peter and the others are located, is home to a large number of ordinary dwarves who can basically "fend for themselves". It is also the floor with the largest population.
The top 5th floor is uninhabited like the bottom floor. The big elevator directly pulls people and goods at the foot of the Edson Wall up here, and the goblin airship also docks here.
During the monster red tide, this place will also serve as the front line of the stone fortress's defense.
Dwarves worship the strong, and "surnames" are extremely important to them.
Strictly speaking, all the dwarves in the stone fortress are related to the big families on the second floor.
Children born in the dwarf big family, if they fail to meet the qualified requirements when they grow up, will be issued a family card, expelled from the family, and will also lose their surnames.
At the beginning, these dwarves lived on the 3rd and 4th floors of the stone fortress above, where they re-established families and reproduced.
Unable to use the family surnames they were born with, they had to give themselves new dwarf surnames.
The number of these dwarves increased, and the stone fortress became what it is today.
In other words,
In fact, if you pick any dwarf on the 4th floor and count 3 or 4 generations back, he might be a dwarf from a big family on the 2nd floor of the Stone Fortress. He might even be alive and can kill monsters after drinking a barrel of strong liquor.
Of course, the other party doesn't recognize this descendant.
So regarding the surname "Freeman", the dwarves in the bar soon remembered the descendants related to this family.
"It seems that Lord Yanhu left the Freeman family!"
