Chapter 32 Tons Tons Tons
To be honest, this journey has not been easy.
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 woods and mountains little by little, and made his way straight in the wild.
It can be said to be "going the wild way" in the literal sense.
The terrain was so rugged in some places that the horses could hardly jump over it.
At this moment, Levi finally found the neat road leading to the dwarf gathering place. He was so moved that he immediately rode his horse towards the light.
Only when he approached the tall gate embedded in the mountain did he slow down and walk slowly towards it.
In front of the huge building, Levi looked up.
It has to be said that although the dwarves are not tall, their architectural style is majestic. Levi had to look up again and again to see the entire building in front of him.
Even the door is so big, I guess this mountain must have been hollowed out, and the space inside must be even bigger.
"Ha, marvel at our architecture, human."
As he was looking at it, he suddenly heard a voice 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 coming here?" he asked.
Levi dismounted and greeted the dwarf who looked quite old.
"Greetings. This is my first time in the dwarven territory. I heard that the dwarven forging skills are unmatched, so I wanted to come and see it for myself."
Hearing what Levi said, the dwarf immediately looked proud: "Haha, then you've come to the right place. The craftsmanship of the dwarves is not comparable to those guys outside. The finest armor, sharp weapons... As long as you have enough silver coins, you can take them all away."
"Although we generally don't do business with strangers, you look pretty good. I can tell you must be a good fighter who has fought on the battlefield. If it were me, I would be happy to sell you some good stuff."
The dwarf was quite enthusiastic. After chatting with Levi for a while, he saw that Levi looked unfamiliar with the place and gave him directions: "If you want to find the inn, turn right after entering the door. If you want to buy something, go left. There are several blacksmith shops and a caravan that just returned recently."
"Thanks."
After bidding farewell to the kind dwarf, Levi led the horse and walked, sighing.
Who said that dwarves are rude and have no manners? Rumor has it that this is not quite polite, and it is also very enthusiastic.
As he was thinking about it, Levi soon stepped through the huge door and walked into the hall in the mountains where the dwarves gathered.
The dwarves' daily life and production work are basically carried out in the mountains. Except for caravans, they rarely travel far.
After the fall of the Lonely Mountain, this hall was where Thorin and his people settled.
Although he was mentally prepared, Levi was still amazed when he actually saw the scenery inside.
As soon as he entered the door, Levi opened his eyes wide. The space inside the cave looked much larger than outside. There was a dome that seemed to have no end, a chandelier tied with thick iron chains, glowing stones inlaid on the walls, various houses and bridges built along the valley, and magnificent statues and tall walls that extended from the underground river to the point where one had to look up to see the top corners.
The sound of metal knocking echoed in the huge space, accompanied by a bit of noise.
Following the instructions of the dwarf just now, Levi looked to the right, and sure enough, he saw a multi-story building with many dwarves coming and going in it.
This is the hotel.
"Welcome, sit anywhere!"
The hotel owner greeted Levi who came in with a big belly.
"Oh, but it looks like you need to settle your mount first. Move on, young man, and find a place for the guest's horse!"
The boss called the young dwarf next to him and quickly made clear arrangements 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 delicious food was served soon.
This time, Levi brought a lot of silver coins with him - all of which were taken from the ogre's lair. This money was enough for him to spend lavishly for a while.
Perhaps it was dinner time, as more and more dwarves gathered around, and the restaurant on the first floor, which had seemed a bit quiet before, became lively, with many people choosing to eat here.
However, with so many dwarves, Levi's presence seemed a bit out of place.
"Human? I haven't seen one in a long time. It's really rare."
"It doesn't look like he's here on business. Maybe he's traveling."
"Still pretty slim though."
“He may have a nice body, but he doesn’t have a nice beard.”
“I don’t know where he came from.”
Levi took a deep breath and withdrew his comment that even a dwarf could be quite polite.
These chatterbox dwarves can be quite noisy sometimes.
"Oh my beard, this is the first time I see a human being. Hey, brother over there, let's have a drink!"
A dwarf who looked very young suddenly raised a cup full of ale and raised it towards Levi.
Levi raised his eyebrows and had no choice but to raise his glass and respond.
"Hahahaha!" The dwarf laughed loudly and drank the beer in the cup in one gulp. At the end he burped, wiped the foam off his beard, and let out a hearty groan.
Levi was naturally not weak, and he drank it all in one breath without changing his expression. After drinking, he raised an eyebrow at the dwarf, indicating that the cup in his hand was empty as well.
Whoosh whoosh——
Some dwarves immediately whistled and started to make a noise.
"Drink him!"
"Drink him!"
Soon, the surrounding dwarves who were looking for trouble started to make a fuss.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Levi looked to his boss for help helplessly, and then found that his boss was also joining in the fun.
Not buddy.
"Okay, come on!" Levi slammed the table and accepted the challenge on the spot.
"That's great! If you can get me drunk today, I'll pay for you!"
The young dwarf uttered a harsh word and asked the boss to bring two large barrels of wine on the spot.
With a loud crash, the two tables were put together.
Gulp gulp gulp…
Tons, tons, tons——
"ha--"
The two of them just started drinking without even asking for side dishes.
The dwarf was happy. There were few people in this area who could drink more than him. This human 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 issue of appetite...although alcohol can also increase satiety, it seems that you can still keep drinking even if you are full, but the duration of the drunken buff will also increase.
"This cup, this cup is a toast to something, let's toast to our meeting... burp!"
The dwarf raised the wine glass and drank it down in gulps.
"Well, thank you very much, but this is the fifth time you've toasted our encounter."
Levi continued tons and tons.
At this moment, the table in front of the two of them was already piled with wine glasses. Judging from the capacity of the glasses, each glass weighed at least more than one kilogram.
The two of them drank nearly twenty cups each.
"I'm telling you, but you are not allowed to spit it out..." The dwarf had foam at the corners of his mouth and was pointing at Levi, his eyes looking a little out of focus.
Levi put down the empty cup and said lightly: "Ah, okay, now I think I feel something, is this what it means to be drunk?"
Boom! Levi said softly, his eyes clear, without any sign of forcing himself.
However, these words sounded like the whispers of a devil to the young dwarf. He rolled his eyes and fell asleep on the table on the spot, with foam oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Levi's words really made his faith collapse.
"The winner is the human traveler!"
The boss stepped on the stool and raised Levi's arm, declaring his victory.
“Ohhhh!!!”

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