EP One Thousand and Twenty Six. Blacksmith Vargo

The so-called dwarves are what the Asgardians call them. If we really want to trace the origin, in the earliest period of time, that is, before the dwarves had contact with the Asgardians, they did not call themselves this.

It was only after receiving the protection of Asgard that he truly called himself a dwarf.

As for "people have to bow their heads when they are under the roof", I have to use the name given by the Asgardians because of their weak position in the subordinate relationship. I still feel that the name given by the Asgardians is in line with the position of my clan. , I am happy to apply it... Thousands of years have passed, and no dwarf can still remember these old things.

Speaking of which, the Asgardians call them this because before the first contact between the two sides, the Asgardians had already dealt with taller alien races such as Frost Giants and Fire Giants.

At that time, the Asgardians were quite powerful and extremely proud, to the point where they even disdained to compare other races with themselves. Therefore, after meeting the dwarves, they never thought about comparing them with themselves, but naturally chose other foreign races they had encountered as reference objects.

Compared with the Frost Giants or Fire Giants, the dwarves are much shorter, so Asgard named them the dwarves.

As for why the smaller elves were not chosen as a reference...

That's because the living habits and behavior of the dwarves are completely different from the elves. No matter from which point of view, it is not suitable to compare the two races together.

In short, they are called dwarves, but in fact they are not short.

The average height is about two meters, and people like Vostagg, who is about 1.8 meters tall, are relatively rare cases.

Comparing his height, Shi Xiaolei happened to be just over two meters tall. He was extremely suitable among the dwarves.

Let’s look at body shape and temperament.

Although he has no hobby of blacksmithing, his body is very close to that of the dwarves who wield hammers all year round. They are the kind of people with thick arms that can run horses and a thick torso like a wall.

The temperament is similar. Shi Xiaolei, who has completely integrated the blood of barbarians, also has a strong and rough aura about him. Comparing the temperaments formed by the dwarves' years of forging iron, they are generally very similar. At most, there are some differences in details.

However, the dwarves only show their meticulous side when making utensils, and at other times they are always careless and not careful enough.

There are so many similarities, and the only subtle differences are not noticeable. One can also blame Vargo for misunderstanding Shi Xiaolei as one of his own tribe, thinking that he also has the blood of a dwarf.

"Are you really not a dwarf?" Even though everyone was willing to testify, Vargo still didn't completely dispel his suspicion.

"It's not true. I'm a native of Earth...well, a Midgardian." Shi Xiaolei shrugged helplessly: "This is my first time coming to Niveda."

"Whether he is a dwarf or not, that doesn't matter." He laughed and hugged the old man's shoulders. Vostagg said with a smile: "The key is whether the personalities are compatible. As long as we can chat together, that's fine. Friend. Old man, I’m not going to put in a good word for him. I bet you’ll fall in love with this guy once you get to know him.”

"I agree." Thor also smiled and agreed: "He has a good drinking capacity, one person can drink several of us."

"The key is that he has a lot of good wine in his hand." Vostagg nodded vigorously and added to Thor's words: "To tell you the truth, we just had a drink yesterday. Hehe, guess what? What's wrong, he actually came up with several new wines, one of which was so exciting that even I almost couldn't hold it."

Among the female dwarves, perhaps there are still three or five who are not greedy for alcohol.

But male dwarves...

There is no one who doesn’t love wine.

Vargo is no exception. In fact, if it wasn't for his greed for alcohol, he would not have been punished and would have been sent here to receive guests. You know, for careless dwarves, the last thing they like to do is this kind of work that requires careful and considerate work. Either go to the battlefield to fight, or go to the anvil to strike iron, that is their favorite.

"Gulu." His alcoholism is above average. You can guess Vargo's reaction after hearing Volstagg's words.

"Hahahaha, you're hungry." Because of the arm-in-arm posture, Vostagg heard the sound of his old friend swallowing saliva without any hindrance: "After we finish the business, let's have a good drink. Don't worry, he's such a good person. Not only is he very generous, but he also likes to make friends. I will definitely not refuse to have you at the banquet.”

"Vostagg is right." Seeing Vargo looking at him, Shi Xiaolei nodded with a smile: "I came here this time and brought a lot of good wine. In fact, if there is a chance, I would like to develop Let’s have a long-term cooperation and do some wine business with you. I mean, if you are willing to come over and give me some advice, that would be great.”

There was a step in the words, but the tone was very natural, without the slightest feeling of being offended.

Hearing this made him happy in his ears, and Vargo immediately showed a big smile on his face: "Haha, I like you, and from now on, you will be my friend."

"Then...nice to meet you, friend."

"Hehe." Vargo bumped fists with Shi Xiaolei, and Wargo smiled even more.

Thinking that since he became a friend, he had to do his part for him, so Vargo took advantage of the situation and asked: "Do you have anything to do when you come to Nivedad this time? If I can help , just ask, you’re welcome.”

Looking at the current atmosphere, Shi Xiaolei had a good feeling that the next thing might be smoother than he imagined.

"There are indeed some things that need to be done. If nothing else, I just want to ask you to help build something." As he spoke, Shi Xiaolei took out a few gold coins from his backpack and handed them to Vargo: "Here, you Look, I have some gold coins here. I didn't know about it at first, but then I realized it after hearing some news, and found that it seemed to be a very good raw material. I thought that with the technology of the dwarves, I should be able to extract the special ingredients inside. , and use them to build some of the equipment I want.”

"Let me take a look." Taking the gold coin smoothly, Vargo took out a monocle that was similar in shape to a wrench from his pocket, put it on his right eye, and stared at the gold coin in his hand to observe.

He just wanted to explain his intentions and had no other intentions. He also didn't expect that the Vargoben in front of him was a skilled blacksmith. Therefore, after seeing Vargo's actions, Shi Xiaolei unconsciously showed a slightly surprised look.

"Vostagg, he is..."

"Huh? Oh, he is also a blacksmith. Why, didn't I just say that?"

"……No."
