Chapter 174 - 174 Hot Potato
174 Hot Potato
Fang Ping looked at the large furry doors on both sides and felt a little helpless. “Have you ever considered using wooden shelves to wrap leather on the outside?”
“Wrap leather around wooden shelves? Wooden shelves!”
Goldfinger paused for a moment and tilted his head in thought. Then, he turned around and ran. “Mr Forbidden Spellcaster, you’re right. I’ll order it now!”
“Don’t run. I’m not done yet.”
Goldfinger quickly stopped and ran back, looking at Fang Ping expectantly.
“Have you ever observed a race that can fly? Have you ever thought about why they can fly?”
“Because they have characteristics to fly. They also have energy and wings.”
Uh, since he said that, Fang Ping did not know how to continue.
Changing his train of thought, he said, “Then look at the insects. If you see that some insects can fly, do they also fly?”
Goldfinger looked up. “Well… the bugs in the Holy City of Kailund burrow into the ground. They rarely fly. I haven’t studied them.”
Fang Ping patted the big metal block beside him. “So your Flyer 78 still has a lot of room for improvement.”
They stood on the big metal cart and walked back. The timing was close to the last bus, and there were not many Dwarves on it.
Fang Ping looked out of the window at the Dwarf City outside the iron frame. It was quiet.
In addition to a few houses, there were orange oil lamps. Most of the scenery cannot be seen in the dark. The sound of the big metal frame car clicking spread far.
There were a total of nine floors in the outer circle of the city. They were like wreaths of flowers that were placed on the head of the Holy City of Kailund.
Every floor was lit. The hanging cages that moved up and down were like pendants, stringing these garlands together.
He wondered who designed this city. It was quite romantic.
“Fang Ping, I didn’t expect you to know so much about Dwarf machinery.”
“Do only Dwarves have machinery?”
Qing Niao shook his head. “I don’t know. But I’ve never heard of it in the Chamber of Commerce. Oh right, I think I heard it once. It was said that someone in the Scholar Alliance was researching machinery. I didn’t listen carefully.”
“Scholar Alliance, Teacher Moon Bell?”
“Yes, she’s the youngest scholar in history. Moreover, she’s beautiful and powerful. She’s also the eldest daughter of the South Lake Chamber of Commerce. She’s simply perfect. I wonder who has the ability to marry her.”
“What about Ai Bev compared to her?”
Qing Niao smiled shyly. “How can we compare? It’s different.”
The Dwarf ticket seller interrupted Fang Ping and Qing Niao’s conversation. “We’ve arrived at the East Wall Rock. Get out of the car and walk. You’ll see the hanging cage.”
“Thank you.”
Fang Ping’s team lived on the fifth floor. Looking up at this large circular ring, Fang Ping was not sure where it was. He could only go up and look for it slowly.
However, he could not blame anyone else. He had chatted with Goldfinger for too long. When he returned to the tavern, Andre and the others had already left.
He could only find his way back based on instincts.
“Fang Ping, this compound is so big. How long will it take us to find it?”
“That won’t happen. I remember that the direction is this way. It shouldn’t be difficult to find.”
“By the way, do the Dwarves in the cage know? Should we ask a Dwarf?”
“Sure.”
…
Fang Ping had overestimated his own judgment and underestimated the length of this large ring.
When they returned to their residence, the hanging cages and large iron carriages had already stopped moving. The entire city was really quiet.
It was late at night.
Andre was cultivating with his eyes closed. When Fang Ping and Qing Niao returned, they did not greet him.
The bed was very big. Even if three people slept on it, it would not feel cramped.
Fang Ping also started cultivating. He had used his skills too carelessly during this period of time. His energy had already fallen to 1,800. He still had to cultivate diligently.
…
“Iron Hammer, we haven’t seen each other for so long, and you’re giving me this to drink?”
“Why? I usually drink this. It’s not considered good wine, but it’s much better than the fruit wine brewed by you Humans, right?”
Su Dongxiong picked up the big wooden cup and clinked it with Iron Hammer.
“How does it feel to be a Dwarf King?”
“It’s just an empty position. It’s more interesting to talk to those old men and old ladies in the Elder Council and the Holy Hammer Council every day than to see them.”
Elsa asked, “The Gray Goat is a Magical Beast, right? Can it talk?”
“Hahaha! Tiny is still so interesting.”
“Don’t call me Tiny, Shorty. Hmph! By the way, we met Harvey on the fort’s official road.”
“Harvey, I heard that he returned to the tribe. Is he back now?”
“I don’t know. He also accepted a mission to lock down Fire Dragon City.”
“I heard about sealing off Fire Dragon City, but I just found it strange. I didn’t expect you to be the target.” Iron Hammer stood up and took out a large cloth bag from the bag on the ground and placed it on the table.
Su Dongxiong put down his cup. “A side dish?”
“Look, this is a big dish. I wonder if you can eat it.”
Su Dongxiong opened the cloth bag. Inside were various round pieces the size of washbasins stacked together.
Iron Hammer picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He looked at Su Dongxiong proudly. “How is it? Do you know what this is?”
“Ice Dragon, Light Dragon, Dark Dragon, Fire Dragon, Electric Dragon. It’s quite complete. Where do you want it?”
“It’s here.” Iron Hammer pointed at his feet. “I found it on the Snowy Mountain. The Dragons are back. Do you want to form another team to slay the Dragons?”
“You’re the Dwarf King. Which team would dare to take you?” Su Dongxiong took out a blue piece from his cloth bag and placed it on the table.
“I’ve already killed one. An adult Lightning Dragon.”
“Legendary?”
“Legendary.”
“Cheers.”
Hammer finished his wine. “I haven’t been to the battlefield all these years. I’ve been at the peak of Epic rank for a long time. I don’t know if I can reach the Legendary stage.”
“Shorty, you have to believe in yourself. You’re a genius.”
“Alright. The beasts have been moving very strangely recently. They gathered at the entrance of the cave yesterday. I wanted to take a look at the situation, but I didn’t expect them to be waiting for you.”
“Fortunately, you didn’t go. It’s Clegane. He’s also at the Legendary stage. Thanks to him, most of my breastplate has been destroyed. He’s improved a lot over the years. By the way, you have to mend this breastplate for me.”
“Alright, small problem. But Clegane, why is he here? Isn’t he in the Misty Swamp? So you were rushed here by him?”
Su Dongxiong nodded. “That’s right. The situation on the continent is getting more and more chaotic. There are a few wars between the Orcs and Beasts. We’ve also fought a few battles with the Gnomes and Trolls. The Elves are in internal strife, and I don’t know what the Undead are planning. I can’t see many things clearly.
“Iron Hammer, you have to make plans for the Dwarf City. If the Dragons return to Snow Frost Mountain, will the Holy City of Kailund really be able to stop them?”
“Those guys are flying around. It’s so troublesome. I’m envious of your Demon Flame Chimera. I should just hurry up and make an energy cannon.
Let’s not talk about this. It was rare for us to drink, so let’s just enjoy our time together. Let’s not talk about this.
“How long do you plan to stay? I saw the Elven Princess Sif. She’s a hot potato. Why? Do you need me to send troops to escort you to the Elven Forest?”
Su Dongxiong clinked glasses with him. “No need. Van Helsing is on the way. He’ll be there soon.”
