Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 352 Trading with the dwarves (1)

The Dwarven King's voice suddenly cut through the voices around me.

"I'll give you an iron mine and a copper mine."

When he said this, all of the dwarves couldn't help looking at the Dwarven King in shock.

The things that they had offered were all material things and not a single one of them offered mines like the Dwarven King did.

After all, they knew that it would be bad for their Dwarven Kingdom if they gave up resources like this.

There were many that quickly turned around and surrounded the Dwarven King to try persuading him against this.

However…just like before, after they talked for a few minutes, all of the dwarves suddenly seemed convinced.

They all just turned to look at me, as if they were waiting for my response.

I could already feel the glaring gazes coming from behind me, almost as if they were forcing me to accept this deal.

However, there were other things that were still on my mind.

After all, even if I accepted this deal, there was the matter of workers that needed to be solved. A mine that didn't have any workers didn't have any value since there was no way to get the ores out of the ground.

With a cough, I said, "I am interested in this offer, but I have to ask something first."

The Dwarven King was surprised to be asked this since he had thought that Zwein as a human would accept this deal without much fuss. But after giving a cough, he asked, "What's your question?"

I took a deep breath and asked, "Can our people come and work in the mines?"

The Dwarven King and the other dwarves were naturally surprised to be asked this.

But after knitting their brows in thought for a bit, they understood why he had asked this question.

Mines without workers had no value at all, so if he couldn't bring workers to work in this mine, there was no reason to take it.

But…workers that a human brought…would naturally also be humans.

For the Dwarven Kingdom to allow these human workers in…was naturally a very bad idea.

It would be fine if they were any other race, but humans really were bad for their Dwarven Kingdom.

There were many humans that surrounded them and many humans that wanted to take their land from them.

This had festered anti human feelings among the dwarves.

So this had created a group of dwarves that had very strong anti human sentiments and would act radically if humans were found in the Dwarven Kingdom.

But before that…it wasn't good for them to let humans in their Dwarven Kingdom in the first place since there was plenty of information that the humans could steal from them.

Even if Zwein didn't want to steal information, that didn't mean that there weren't other humans who didn't.

They would be able to use this job at the mine as a way to steal information from their Dwarven Kingdom.

So in the end, the Dwarven King shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, we can't allow this."

I had already expected this, but that just makes it more clear on what I should do. There was no reason for me to accept this since there would be nothing that I could do with these mines.

It was better to just buy the ores that we needed instead of taking the mines.

I could feel the disappointment coming from behind me, but there was nothing that I could do about this.

Or at least that was what I thought.

"But I can help you find workers among the dwarves for the mine." The Dwarven King said after a long silence.

I couldn't help looking at him with a shocked look when I heard this.

After all, I never thought that he would propose something like this.

I had thought that the last thing that dwarves would want to do is work for the humans, but now that didn't seem to be the case since even the Dwarven King was suggesting it.

I didn't keep looking at the Dwarven King and instead looked at the dwarves around him.

These were his close advisors, so if this was just a whim from him, they wouldn't let him get away with it.

But the fact that they didn't say anything to oppose this meant…that it was actually possible.

Would dwarves actually work for humans?

Seeing the shocked look that I had, the Dwarven King changed the topic again to what he cared about the most.

"I heard that you brought some alcohol to our kingdom?"

The moment that he said this, the eyes of the other dwarves also lit up.

There was only a single dwarf who revealed an ugly expression when he heard this.

Ivar revealed a very bitter look when he heard this.

After all, he had made sure not to include this matter in his report to the Dwarven King…

So how had he found out?

I couldn't help revealing a faint smile when I heard this.

I had already seen the effect that good wine would have on dwarves, so I knew that this must be what he had been after all along with this.

So I nodded to Haley who had caught my sign and she went to bring in the thing that we had brought along.

This was a royal audience, so it wasn't as if we could just bring whatever we wanted in.

But after letting the guards get a sip of it…they didn't stop us.

I said with a smile, "Indeed, I have brought some fine wine with me."

Ivar's face sank when he heard this, but all I could do was look at him with an apologetic look.

The other side was the Dwarven King, so it wasn't as if there was anything I could do here.

When Haley came back, the scent of alcohol immediately filled the air and all of the dwarves couldn't help turning in her direction.
