Chapter 32: Tons, Tons, Tons
To be honest, it was not an easy journey.
Because he really didn't know where the main road was, Levi followed the locations he had seen in his memory, and walked through the forest and mountains little by little, and made a straight path in the wild.
It can be said to be "walking the wild road" in the literal sense.
In some places, the terrain was so rugged that the horse almost couldn't jump over it.
At this moment, he finally found the neat road leading to the dwarf gathering place. Levi was so moved that he drove his horse to the place where the light came from.
It was not until he approached the tall gate embedded in the mountain that he slowed down and walked slowly over.
In front of the huge building, Levi looked up.
It must be said that although the dwarves are not tall, their architectural style is magnificent. Levi had to look up again and again to see the building in front of him.
Even the door is so big, it is estimated that the mountain should have been hollowed out, and the space inside will only be larger.
"Ha, marvel at our architecture, human."
As he was watching, a voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and found a dwarf on the side of the road looking him up and down.
"You don't look like a traveling merchant. What's the matter with you here?" he asked.
Levi turned over and got off his horse, and greeted the dwarf who looked quite old.
"Greetings to you. This is my first time in the dwarf territory. I heard that the dwarf's forging craftsmanship is unmatched, so I want to come and see it."
Hearing what Levi said, the dwarf immediately looked proud:
"Haha, then you came to the right place. The dwarf's craftsmanship is not comparable to those guys outside. The best armor, sharp weapons... As long as you have enough silver coins, you can take all of these away."
"Although we generally don't do business with strangers, you look pretty good. I can see that you must be a good fighter who has been on the battlefield. If it were me, I would be happy to sell you some good things."
The dwarf was quite enthusiastic. After chatting with Levi for a while, seeing that he looked unfamiliar with the place, he also pointed him the way:
"If you want to find a hotel, turn right after entering the door. If you want to buy something, go left. There are several blacksmith shops and a caravan that has just returned."
"Thank you."
After saying goodbye to the friendly dwarf, Levi led the horse and sighed as he walked.
Who said that dwarves are vulgar and impolite? Rumors, isn't this quite polite, and also very enthusiastic.
Thinking about it, after a while, Levi stepped over the huge door and entered the hall in the mountain where the dwarves gathered.
The dwarves' daily life and production work are basically carried out in the mountains. Except for the caravan, few of them go out for long journeys.
After the fall of Lonely Mountain, this hall is where Thorin and his people settled.
Although he was mentally prepared, the scenery inside still made Levi feel amazing.
As soon as he entered the door, Levi opened his eyes wide. The space inside the cave looked much larger than the outside. There was a dome that could not be seen at a glance, a chandelier tied with a thick iron chain, glowing stones inlaid on the wall, various houses and bridges built along the valley, and the spectacular statues and the tall walls that extended from the underground dark river to the top corners that needed to be raised to see.
There was a clanging metal knocking sound echoing in the huge space, accompanied by a little noise.
Following the instructions of the dwarf just now, Levi looked to the right, and indeed saw a multi-story building at a glance, with many dwarves coming and going in it.
This is the hotel.
"Welcome, find a place to sit!"
The hotel owner greeted Levi who came in with a big belly.
"Oh, but it seems that you need to place your mount first. Move, young man, go find a place for the guest's horse!"
The boss called the young dwarf next to him and quickly arranged everything for Levi and his mount. After a while, Levi sat down at the table, waiting for the dwarf's special food.
Strong liquor, barbecue... The fragrant food was soon served.
This time, Levi brought a lot of silver coins - all taken from the ogre's nest, and the money was enough for him to spend lavishly for a while.
Maybe it was time for dinner, and the dwarves around gradually increased, and the restaurant on the first floor, which seemed a bit quiet before, became lively, and many people chose to eat here.
However, with more dwarves, Levi's presence seemed a bit abrupt.
"Human? I haven't seen one in a long time. It's rare."
"He doesn't look like he's here for business. Maybe he's traveling."
"But he's pretty slim."
"He may have a good figure, but he doesn't have a good beard."
"I don't know where he's from."
Levi took a deep breath and withdrew a comment that was quite polite even for a dwarf.
These chattering dwarves are really noisy sometimes.
"Oh, my beard. This is the first time I've seen a human. Hey, brother over there, let's have a drink!"
A dwarf who looked very young suddenly raised a glass full of malt liquor and raised it to Levi.
Levi raised his eyebrows and had to raise his glass in response.
"Hahahaha!" The dwarf laughed loudly, and drank the beer in the glass in one gulp. At the end, he burped, wiped the foam on his beard, and groaned happily.
Levi was naturally not weak, and drank it all in one breath without changing his expression. After drinking, he raised his eyebrows at the dwarf, indicating that the glass in his hand was empty too.
Whoosh whoosh——
On the spot, dwarves whistled and started to cheer.
"Drink him up!"
"Drink him up!"
Soon, the surrounding dwarves who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously began to make a fuss.
Levi helplessly looked at the boss for help, and then found that the boss was also making noises.
Not buddy.
"Okay, come on!" Levi slapped the table and accepted the challenge on the spot.
"Happy, if you can drink me down today, I will buy all the orders for you!"
The young dwarf said harsh words and asked the boss to bring two large barrels of wine on the spot.
With a crash, the two tables were pushed together.
Gudonggudonggudong…
Tons tons tons——
"ha--"
The two of them just started drinking, without even using the side dishes.
The dwarf was happy. There were few people in this area who could drink better than him. This human being was destined to lose today.
Levi was also happy, because being drunk was just a buff to him, and he had several buckets of milk in his backpack.
As for the problem of belly fat...Although wine can also increase satiety, it seems that you can still drink it even if you are full, but the duration of the drunken buff will also increase accordingly.
"This glass, what do you want to toast with this glass, just to our meeting... burp!"
The dwarf raised his glass and drank it in one sip.
"Okay, thank you very much, but this is the fifth time you've met us."
Levi continues to ton ton ton.
At this moment, the table in front of the two of them was already filled with wine glasses. Judging from the capacity of the glasses, each glass must weigh at least a pound.
Two people, each drank nearly twenty drinks.
"I'm telling you, but, don't spit it out..." The dwarf was foaming at the corners of his mouth, pointing at Levi, his eyes almost unfocused.
Levi put down the empty cup and said relaxedly: "Ah, okay, I think I feel something. Is this drunk?"
Boom!
Levi said softly, his eyes clear, showing no sign of holding on.
However, these words sounded like the whispers of a devil in the ears of the young dwarf. He rolled his eyes and fell asleep on the table on the spot, with wine foam leaking from the corners of his mouth.
Levi's words really broke his heart.
"Victor, human traveler!"
The boss stepped on the stool, raised Levi's arm, and declared his victory.
"Oh oh oh!!!"

The base castle on the ground has its unique uses. As for the floating city, we will mention it later.
