Chapter 113
He was forging iron with a big hammer at the door. The iron furnace was steaming hot, and he had used a lot of strength. Bombur was so hot that he took off the animal skin he was wearing.
For fear of affecting Bangbo's actions, Yu Sui and Xiaochu remained silent until Bangbo finished his work, then he stepped forward.
"Xiaoyu is back!" Bombur shouted happily.
He knew the inside story and was always worried about the safety of the people on the road. The journey to the beach was too long and there were many dangers along the way.
Yu Sui smiled and responded, "We arrived at the tribe last night."
Bombur wiped the sweat from his forehead with the cloth draped around his neck, pointing to the huge sickle that was clearly tailor-made for the minotaur. "It's almost done. I'll have them work non-stop after I get back. It should be finished in about two days."
Yu Sui smacked his lips as he looked at the scythe. A human wouldn't be able to lift it with such size. Anyone who could lift it must be a high-level warrior who wouldn't bother farming.
On the side where the dwarves live, the open space usually contains all kinds of weapons, but now it is occupied by farm tools. Yu Sui also saw several plows used for plowing the fields.
It is convenient for the Minotaur to farm. When plowing the land, they can simply turn themselves into cows and pull the plow to work. Yu Sui can imagine that scene.
Seeing Yu Sui and the other man coming, Bangbo stopped what he was doing and took them into the house.
"Well, can salt really be extracted from seawater?"
Bombur asked quietly, lowering his voice as he closed the door.
With a look of pride in his eyes, Yu Sui took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Uncle Bangbo.
Bombur took the bamboo tube that looked like a bucket, opened the wooden lid and took a look inside. His eyes widened in shock. "Oh, great god of craftsmen, this is actually refined salt!"
Salt can be extracted from seawater, so wouldn't that save them a huge amount of money in the future? Bombur was so excited that he was spinning around in circles, but he didn't dare shout out loud so that others would notice him. His face flushed red from holding back his excitement.
With their current strength, although they dare not use the refined salt for trading, they can at least provide the tribe with their own use, so they no longer have to be controlled by others.
But besides being excited about the treasure, Bombur was also a little worried.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Did you encounter any danger along the way? We are too far from the coast."
"Fortunately, we bypassed most of the high-level monsters, and most monsters are not very active in winter." Yu Sui thought for a while and replied.
"That's good," Bangbo held the bamboo tube lovingly, looking at the refined salt inside with more affection than the way he looked at his wife.
Yu Sui then took out other gifts prepared for him, a small shell comb and some pearls.
Dwarves use combs, but most of the ones they use are made of wood.
Bombur accepted the gifts, which his mate and daughter would no doubt have been delighted with.
After watching him pack up his things, Yu Sui thought of the dwarf tribe he encountered on his way back, so he asked, "Uncle Bombur, do you know Loki and Buona?"
Uncle Bombur paused, his expression becoming uncertain. "Aunt Buona? Uncle Rocky? Don't they live in the south? It's far away from here. How do you know them?"
Yu Sui then told him how he had saved the dwarf on the road.
"They were forced to move to the swamp?" Uncle Bombur asked in disbelief. "The environment there is so harsh. That's right, it's closer to the Monster Mountain Range, so it's more dangerous than here."
Without waiting for Yu Sui's answer, he began to talk to himself in a daze.
Bombur's expression gradually turned sad. "Aunt Buona was the strongest woman in the world, but now she's forced to live in a stinking swamp."
And if Yu Sui, Qi and others had not passed by, the entire tribe might have fallen into the bear's mouth.
He thought that the Tu tribe was also indirectly saved by Yu Sui. If Yu Sui had not saved Rob first, they would have been captured by humans and become slaves. Bombur's gratitude almost overflowed.
His voice choked with sobs, and he bent down and bowed deeply to Yu Sui.
"Thank you for saving us dwarves again. God of Craftsmen, we dwarves will never forget this kindness." He said with infinite gratitude.
Yu Sui stood up helplessly and supported Uncle Bangbo, "I didn't do anything. Last time, it was the warriors who drove the humans away, and this time it was Brother Qi who killed the monster."
Bombur straightened up. "We don't know how to repay the kindness of your Snow Wolf Clan, but..."
He sighed deeply, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Our lives are difficult. Now the Tu tribe has you, the Snow Werewolves, protecting us, but Aunt Buona..."
"I was just about to say this. I promised Grandma Buona that next year, when the weather is better, I'd take a few dwarves to help them rebuild their house. Uncle Bombur, do you think you could share the recipe for bricks and cement with them?"
Yu Sui asked hesitantly.
"This is a method you came up with. Of course, it's up to you. But do you really want to teach them this? They can bring huge wealth."
Although Bombur certainly hopes that other dwarves can live well, in Bombur's heart, Yu Sui is already the chief of the Blacktu tribe, and his interests still come first.
Yu Sui smiled and scratched his head. "No matter how great the benefits are, they won't make me happier than making others live well. If you agree, Uncle Bombur, then when the weather warms up, find a few people and have the Snow Wolf Warriors take them to Grandma Buona to rebuild the tribe with them."
Bombur's eyes grew kinder. "You are truly... wonderful, young cub. I always see in you the shadows of our tribe's former sages."
"I didn't do anything." Yu Sui's cheeks gradually turned red after being praised, and he replied shyly.
Bombur's eyes were full of admiration and deep thought. "Xiaoyu, you have a very strong energy."
If he continued to praise, Yu Sui's face would be burning. Xiao Chu next to him was still nodding proudly with an expression of "my brother is so awesome". He quickly interrupted Uncle Bangbo and told him the main purpose of his trip.
"Uncle Bombur, the reason why the dwarves can't survive well on this continent is because they lack military strength. If we could create weapons with power comparable to fire explosion magic, wouldn't that greatly alleviate the pressure?"
Bombur's eyes suddenly lit up. Usually when someone says this, it means he already has an idea in mind.
He asked eagerly and curiously, "What weapon? Xiaoyu Sui, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!"
Having successfully aroused the other party's curiosity, Yu Sui smiled proudly, "Gunpowder, it can be made with sulfur, saltpeter, and coal."
Bombur had never heard of the three things he mentioned. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, completely losing his usual calm demeanor.
