Chapter 344 Shameless Dwarven King (2)

They all looked at the Dwarven King with surprised looks when he suggested this.

At first, they didn't know what to say in response to this, but then they still said, "Your majesty, you can't do something like this."

The Dwarven King immediately swept his eyes across them and said, "Why not?"

The dwarves were caught off guard by this sudden statement from the Dwarven King.

Why not?

They actually couldn't think of a reason why he shouldn't approve of such a thing.

After all, if he did beat the Dwarven King, one of the best blacksmiths in their Dwarven Kingdom, they really couldn't say that it would be a waste to sell him this mithril. If he wasn't able to properly use this mithril, then there was no one that would be able to.

But to give this much mithril to a human just seemed wrong by nature to them that they couldn't help rejecting it.

At the same time…there was the matter of what he would do with it.

It was impossible for a single human to use all of this mithril that he was buying, so it was clear that this mithril wouldn't just be for him to use. It would most likely be for whatever country that he represented.

Giving a human country mithril…was not a good thing.

First, it would be a waste of mithril since those human countries wouldn't be able to use the mithril properly.

Second, giving humans mithril would just make them stronger which was a matter of national threat.

The dwarves that were gathered in this throne room were all people that had important positions in the Dwarven Kingdom.

They needed to care about the entire Dwarven Kingdom and not just what their king wanted, so they couldn't let this matter of national security go.

They all seemed like they wanted to say something, but I suddenly said, "I have no need for that much mithril in the first place. Even if I wanted to buy that much, there is nothing that I could do with it."

As I said this, I could feel the disappointment coming from the ones behind me.

It was clear that they wanted to take as much mithril as possible with us, but I knew that all that would cause is a bunch of trouble.

Sometimes, too much of a good thing wasn't a good thing at all.

Sometimes, too much of a good thing would just bring trouble.

Mithril was something that every human wanted since it was a legendary metal, so if people knew that we had a large amount of it…

I was not someone that was overly ambitious.

I knew that it was best to just have what I could get.

The Dwarven King couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

He had thought that this would be enough to move the human into having a forging duel with him, so he never expected the human to actually turn him down.

This made the Dwarven King very awkward since he hadn't thought about what to do if the human did turn him down.

After thinking about it for a bit, the Dwarven King suddenly said, "What if I also throw in trade deals for copper, iron, cold steel, and other metals?"

The moment that he said this, silence filled the room as everyone looked at him with shock. The looks on their faces made it seem like they couldn't believe what he was saying.

Before I was even able to say a thing, the dwarves immediately started trying to persuade the Dwarven King against this.

But the Dwarven King raised his hand and said to us, "If you would excuse us for a second. I wish to talk to my people for a bit."

This was their territory, so they could kick us out whenever they wanted.

Not to mention, since he was being this polite to us, we had no reason not to agree with this request.

So Vela, the captain of the guards, led us out of the throne room and watched over us while the Dwarven King and the minister dwarves talked.

After a few minutes, we were led back into the throne room.

However, this time the dwarves looked much more pacified.

I didn't know what had happened during this time, but it seemed like the Dwarven King had been able to talk down the dwarven ministers.

The Dwarven King looked at me with a smile and said, "So how about it, will you have a forging duel with me? I'll offer you twice the mithril and the trade deals for all of the other metals."

I just gave a sigh when I heard this.

When we had been outside of the room while they were having their secret talk, we also had a secret talk.

We moved away from Vela before the rest of my group started scolding me for not taking this deal.

The mithril deal was one thing, but the deal for the other ores was something that we couldn't turn down.

The one that had the most compelling argument was Shaka.

Ores was the one thing that our country lacked and our troops were ill supplied because of it.

If I obtained this ore deal, there was no doubt that the king would get involved in this matter. Once he did, I could be certain that I would receive a new title and rewards because of this.

I didn't really care about the title and rewards, but the matter of the country's defenses was something that I cared about.

After all, a safe kingdom meant a peaceful life…so I should at least contribute this much to our kingdom's defenses.

With a sigh, I said, "It would be an honour to have a forging duel with your majesty."

The Dwarven King couldn't help being taken aback once more hearing this.

He secretly peeked at my companions with a knowing look, but he didn't say a thing on this matter.

He just said with a smile, "Alright, then let's do this."
