Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 504 Persuasion
To the rulers, Noshir's words were almost a threat, and as a race that could survive in the Underdark for so long, the gnomes had never had a good temper.

The guards standing by picked up their weapons almost instantly, and some hot-tempered male elders also rolled up their sleeves, waiting for King Snitker's order to drive away the uninvited guest.

But at this moment, an underground gnome with an obviously old face, full of wrinkles and white beard, dressed in a gorgeous robe of a great elder that symbolizes power, without hands, but with a war hammer and a pickaxe made of mithril, suddenly rushed in front of everyone, waving the war hammer in his right hand, and successfully stopped the violent behavior of the other underground gnomes that was almost on the verge of breaking out without words, only with gestures.

This is a very incredible phenomenon. With the hot temper of the underground dwarves, if someone dares to threaten their king in front of them, even if they know they can't win, they will definitely fight head-on without any hesitation, and then pull out all the smoke, powder and explosives on their bodies before dying in the battle.

In this situation, the sundergirds will generally only obey orders from their king to retreat and stop the unfriendly actions that are about to take place.

When Noshir saw this scene, he guessed that the strength and prestige of the underground dwarf in front of him might even be as good as their king to some extent, and this was indeed the case.

This old-looking deep gnome, who is very recognizable because of the weapons in his hands, is none other than Belvar Disinger, the most popular hero in Bryndenstone, the captain of the Honored Prospecting Team (meaning the highest military representative of the deep gnomes), and the leader of King Snitker's Council.

This respectable old dwarf participated in several key battles in his life that were enough to determine the life and death of Bryndenstone. It was he who persuaded King Snitik to participate in the key battle to defeat Menzoberranzan, thus breaking the closed strategy that Bryndenstone had maintained for thousands of years.

In the life-and-death battle that determined the fate of the deep gnomes, he lost both his hands under the sword of Dinin Do'Urden (Drizzt's brother) while fighting. Although the deep gnomes' magical craftsmanship made up for his defect and replaced it with this pair of magical and expensive magical tools, it could not erase the contribution he once made.

He has done a lot for his race, and because of this, all dwarves, including the king, respect him. At the same time, Belvar's thoughts are the most open and friendly among all the deep dwarves.

When other dwarves were angered by Noshir's rude remarks, he was the only one who figured out the interests involved at the first time. He was not confused by Noshir's unfriendly words. On the contrary, he caught a hint of sincerity and friendliness from Noshir's sharp words that revealed a hint of oppression and threat.

Yes, that's right. If the uninvited guest in front of him did not lie and truly confessed everything he knew, then his purpose was indeed consistent and he sincerely wanted to help those vampire spawn and help those poor victims survive in this extremely dangerous and unfriendly world. This was enough to prove that he was indeed a hero worthy of those titles.

Belva is 234 years old this year. In the past 200 years, he and his old friend Drizzt Do'Urden have experienced many hardships, which have given him an extraordinary intuition in recognizing people. This old dwarf hero can distinguish whether what Noshir said is true or false. So he is very sure that what Noshir said when he met them is not false at all, which means that every word of Noshir is true, and it also means that everything is exactly the same as what Noshir said.

To be honest, there was no need for him to come here in advance to discuss with the underground gnomes. Anyway, whether the gnomes agreed or not, those vampire spawn would rush into the Underdark without hesitation and disrupt the balance of this underground world to a great extent.

This balance is not only in the ecological sense, but also means a huge change in the social environment. Considering the current strength used by Blingden Stone City, if these nearly 7000 derivatives really pour in here uncontrollably without anyone knowing, it would be a real disaster.

But Noshir had considered the underground gnomes in advance and chose to visit them in person to discuss cooperation. Doesn't this represent unparalleled friendliness?

Bevar believed that after Noshir said that, King Snitik must have understood this truth. That was why, after Bevar stopped the other deep dwarves, this old hero who was very famous in Bryndenstone City immediately came up to him politely.

After having a friendly conversation with Nosir, he promised to do his best to persuade the king and the parliament to seriously consider this proposal, and then asked the guards to prepare a separate stone chamber (the society of the deep gnomes is a very united society, so united that there is almost no privacy. Most of the deep gnomes live together as families, so separate stone chambers are very rare), and politely sent Nosir down.

Noshir also temporarily obediently accepted this arrangement. He knew that even if he had explained the pros and cons of this matter to the dwarves, they would not be able to give him an answer in a short time. However, given the current difficulties faced by the city.

For example, the restless activities of other evil forces in the underground world, the possible unrest caused by nearly 7000 derivatives pouring into the underground world, the lack of defense forces in the city, Beval, a rational and enlightened person, and a wise king who is willing to listen to the advice of others. All these conditions combined are enough to make Noshil feel that the possibility of this treaty being passed is very high.

Therefore, Noshir was willing to wait leisurely for a few days until they could discuss the final result. During this time, Noshir could also take a good look around this underground city which was completely different from the surface world and experience the customs and culture of the underground dwarves.

During this time, King Snitik and his House of Representatives were completely busy, just as Noshir had encountered.
