Don't call me evil god

Chapter 465: The Family of Stone Castle

(Ganked by Shenhe, skipped a short section)

When Pete and Lena walked out of the Happy Hour Tavern hand in hand, even though they didn't say a word, Gail understood immediately.

Gail came to his senses earlier.

As early as when Norman unlocked the magic of [Resurrection], Miranda had already come up and the two of them were already living together.

A girl's blush is worth a thousand words.

Do not misunderstand.

Blushing refers to Reina being drunk.

Although she can drink a lot and can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, for humans, Stone Castle liquor, which is an extremely high-concentration alcohol, tastes no different from water to Lena.

But that doesn't mean she won't get drunk.

She can just remain sober enough, and become a lot braver.

For example, right now, Pete was savoring the wonderful feeling left on his lips and teeth.

"So when you said you could only drink a little, it was actually because..."

Reina blinked her big eyes twice, her eyes flickered, and she smiled sweetly: "I'm telling the truth, I can only drink a little bit."

"I discovered when I was helping out in my father's tavern that I can drink a lot of different kinds of alcohol."

"I was a little impulsive this time. Those dwarves can drink a lot. I feel like if I drink any more, I'll be drunk."

The other three people who were still conscious were all speechless.

Seeing how Reina was speaking in a steady and clear tone, she didn't look like someone who was about to get drunk!

"Besides, when it comes to playing dice, I don't really rely on luck or my drinking capacity. I still have some advantages in this kind of game rules." Reina explained with a smile: "The dice clock and dice they use are similar to the ones in my father's tavern. They are probably products of goblins."

"I can roughly tell the number of 6 points by the sound of the collision."

"My success rate was not high before. I could only succeed 2 or 3 times out of 3 times. But after I was promoted to a Level Stalker, my hearing was greatly enhanced, which made my success rate much higher."

Gail suddenly realized: "No wonder you always give 6 points in your predictions, because you almost know the result."

Reina smiled and said, "It may not be completely accurate, but it is accurate most of the time."

……

The next day.

Because of Reina, the hotel not far from Happy Hour where Pete was sent to rest earlier readily made room for the group.

After a good sleep, I finally regained some energy.

This time when we went to the Happy Hour Bar again, the dwarves' attitude took a 360-degree turn.

As soon as Reina walked into the bar hall, she was immediately treated like a hero. The dwarves banged on the tables and wine glasses, warmly welcoming Reina's arrival.

He drank the entire bar down by himself.

This is a feat that even dwarves find difficult to accomplish.

It is normal to gain their respect for this.

As for Pete and the others, the dwarves' attitude towards them also improved a lot. At least they stopped looking at them and were willing to communicate normally. Reina took the opportunity to ask for the information she wanted to find out in the bar:
"We have an incomplete clan card in our hands, and we can't determine which dwarf clan it belongs to. How can we find the corresponding clan?"

"And - does anyone know of a Freeman family? Or a dwarf named Bron Freeman?"

Both questions received answers from the dwarves.

Regarding the clan card, the dwarves talked a lot, and it took some effort to explain the general situation to Lena and others.

"The families that are issued clan cards are basically the big families in the stone fortress. They won't live on this platform."

"You need to keep going down to the platform below!"

"no"

The stone fort has a unique vertical structure, with a total of 5 layers of hollow circular platforms from bottom to top.

The first layer at the bottom is the root of the furnace, where the lava lake is located. Although there is plenty of light and fire here, the environment is too hot and not suitable for long-term survival even for dwarves, so there are no permanent dwarf residents on this layer.

However, many of the famous magic weapons and armors in history were forged in the furnaces on this floor by dwarves who mastered the art of casting.

There is even a legend that the base of the melting furnace is blessed by the God of Forging and the God of Lava. Even an ordinary weapon can be greatly improved in quality after being forged, hammered and quenched here, as if it had been blessed by the gods.

The second layer near the lava lake is where the strongest and highest-ranking dwarves in the entire dwarven social structure live. The most famous families in the stone castle are all here.

The two lowest floors have strict entry requirements. Dwarf guards are standing guard at the elevators. If you do not have a matching identity, you will not be allowed in.

The third floor in the middle is where the backbone of the dwarf society, including dwarves such as blacksmiths, brewers, and warriors, stay.

They either came from the big families below, or were promoted from the dwarves with ordinary surnames above who showed talent and strength.

The 4th floor above, where Pete and his friends are, is inhabited by a large number of ordinary dwarves who can basically "fend for themselves". It is also the floor with the largest population.

The top 5th floor is uninhabited just like the bottom floor. A large elevator pulls people and cargo from the foot of the Edson Wall directly up here, and the goblin airship also docks here.

During the monster red tide, this place will also serve as the front line of stone fort defense.

Dwarves worship the strong, and "surname" is extremely important to them.

Strictly speaking, all the dwarves in the stone fortress are related to the big families on the second floor.

If a child born into a large dwarf family fails to meet the qualified requirements when he reaches adulthood, he will be issued a family card and expelled from the family, and will also lose his surname.

At first, these dwarves lived on the 3rd and 4th floors of the stone castle above, where they rebuilt families and reproduced.

Unable to use their birth family surnames, they had to give themselves new dwarven surnames.

The number of these dwarves increased, and the Stone Castle became what it is today.

in other words.

In fact, if you pick up any dwarf on the 4th floor and count back 3 or 4 generations, he might be a dwarf from a big family on the 2nd floor of the stone fortress. He might even be alive and can go into battle to kill monsters after drinking a barrel of liquor.

Of course, the other party does not recognize this offspring.

So regarding the surname "Freeman", the dwarves in the bar soon remembered the descendants related to this family.

"It seems that Lord Yanhu left the Freeman family!"
