Chapter 466: Yanhu Brick
No. 4 Bracket
"I also remembered that Lord Yanhu once mentioned that his great-grandfather's surname was Freeman, but since his grandfather's generation, they changed their surname to Bracket!"
"The glorious Freeman family, a long-standing forging family!"
"The Freeman family that once forged the Winter Crown!"
"Yes! That's it!"
The dwarves shouted in disorder. During the Wine Festival, these guys went home to sleep every day, woke up to find a tavern to drink, or ran to the open space outside to get drunk. They were so noisy.
Fortunately, Pete and the other five finally got a clue and stopped running around like headless flies.
If you want to track down the black-robed man, you have to look for clues based on the family card;
If you want to investigate the family card, you have to find a way to obtain the qualification to enter the second floor of the Stone Castle;
If you want to reach the second floor of the Stone Castle, it is not enough to rely on drinking. The best way is to find the dwarf named "Bron Freeman" recommended by the Countess.
The other party is qualified to inherit the family name, can enter and exit the second floor of the stone fortress at will, and is also qualified to bring people in temporarily.
If you want to find a specific person in the mountain city where hundreds of thousands of dwarves live, you must first find someone related to him.
Yanhu Brackett, who also has the blood of the Freeman family, is the only related clue that can be found at present.
He asked the dwarves in the bar again.
"Lord Yanhu should have just returned to his house to sleep at this time!"
"We just finished drinking yesterday, and now it's dawn, and everyone basically went back to sleep!"
"Wait until it gets dark, and after waking up, Lord Yanhu should come to the bar like everyone else."
Pet was speechless when he heard this.
Speechless about the lifestyle of these dwarves.
During the Wine Festival.
The dwarves don't wake up during the day and don't sleep at night.
When they wake up, they go out to find a place to drink.
The money they earn in a year will be squandered by them in the Wine Festival that lasts throughout October.
Dwarves don't have the habit of saving money. After all, most dwarves don't need to buy a house or hold a wedding ceremony to confirm their feelings and establish marriages. Newly born dwarves are also very hardy. They basically raise their offspring in a free-range manner and leave them alone after the breastfeeding period.
The Grila Mountain where the Stone Fort is located is directly connected to the Frostfire Plateau, or in other words, the Grila Mountain is part of the edge of the Frostfire Plateau.
If you want to build a love nest to live with your partner, it's very simple. Male dwarves wave their hammers and chisels and dig a hole in the mountain wall by themselves.
Even the process of digging a cave by hand has gradually evolved into a courtship ritual for the dwarves.
With their own hands and strength, the larger, deeper and more solid the cave is, the more it can prove the dwarf's deep love.
...
Reina asked the dwarves in the tavern about the address of Yanhu Brackett.
The other party lives not far from the Happy Hour Bar, and the straight-line distance is only a few hundred meters.
Yanhu's home is located deep in the passage opened from the mountain wall.
The passage was spacious enough for the five of Pete to pass through in parallel without being crowded, but the height was uncomfortable.
Adult male dwarves are generally about 1.4 meters tall, and it is difficult to exceed 1.5 meters.
Adult female dwarves are slightly shorter, about 1.25 to 1.3 meters.
Therefore, the height of the passages and caves they dug is generally between 1.8 meters and a little over 2 meters.
This height is more than enough for dwarves.
It is very uncomfortable for humans.
A tall guy like Brandon had to bend down slightly in a slightly cramped posture to walk in, and he couldn't straighten his back the whole time.
There were short holes on both sides of the passage, and each hole was carved with dwarven words, or hung with wooden signs, or made some unique decorations, such as iron ingots made into the shape of bones.
This is equivalent to the "house number" of the dwarves.
They marked their information in different ways.
On the way to Yanhu's house, the three men in the team had a hard time.
Walking in the passage was fine, it was nothing more than bending down and lowering your head.
The trouble was the stairs!
The passage that was too deep was also not friendly to the dwarves, and it took too long to go back and forth.
So the building structure they excavated was actually three-dimensional.
By digging out steps one by one and moving upward, a layer of rock was separated as the top of the cave, and then a new layer of area was opened up on it, with the same corridor and the same cave entrance.
Yanhu is on the 5th floor!
On the way to climb the stairs, because of the change in height, they would hit their heads from time to time, which would always make Pete, Gale, and Brandon groan one after another.
They stumbled all the way to the destination of this trip.
There was a wooden sign nailed outside Yanhu Brackett's cave. The black handwriting on it was written a long time ago and it was a little faded now.
It was written in dwarven language.
Pete and the others couldn't understand it, and they couldn't even be sure whether this was Yanhu's home.
Fortunately, there is the almighty God of Knowledge.
Under the guidance of Norwen, the revised version of the illusion magic focuses on the fact that as long as you have enough destiny points, it can have any form.
Pet paid a small amount of destiny points and activated the corresponding "text conversion" function.
The Dwarven words that were visible were soon covered by a layer of "illusion".
The letters seemed to have life, twisting their bodies flexibly, and finally turned into the appearance of common language words:
"Yanhu Brackett \u0026 Elowen Brackett"
Pet breathed a sigh of relief.
He found the right one.
The cave homes of the dwarves have no doors. Only the bars, hotels, shops and the like built on the outermost side of the mountain wall at the end of the circle have doors to protect the property inside.
It is just a nuisance to block the doors of these small caves where the dwarves live on a daily basis. It is better to leave them open directly, which can also improve ventilation.
As for their own property, it is usually hidden in a small cave inside the cave, a more private place that only they know.
Bending over and hunching over, he walked into Brackett's home.
The interior furnishings are simple and warm.
The edges are specially polished into rounded stone tables and stone benches.
A shelf for placing items, and a simple work surface next to it, with some blacksmith-related tools on it.
Pete followed the deafening snoring and soon found Yanhu Bricket and his wife Elowen lying on the stone bed.
The cave was full of alcohol. It was obvious that the two had drunk too much before and were sleeping like dead pigs. Pete walked to him, but he still didn't respond.
"Are the dwarves so unprepared?"
Pete was shocked.
