Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 33 Diamond!

"Is this okay?"

Looking at the reputation increase prompt that suddenly appeared, Levi retreated strategically.

I can only say that dwarves are worthy of being dwarves. Drinking can increase their reputation so much.

But this also gave Levi more ideas.

To increase your reputation, you don't necessarily have to kill people.

As he was thinking, Levi felt his gaze gradually drifting upwards.

Oh no, this is not good, the aftereffects are starting to set in!
Take a look at the status bar.

【Drunk: 5h34min】

"Ah, I think I need to go upstairs and put my luggage away first."

"Please, sir, but please pay attention to your head, after all, this place may be a little low for you..."

Boom!
There was a crash on the stairs.

"gentlemen?"

"I'm fine!" Levi shouted and immediately returned to his room.

Take out the milk, tons of tons of tons.

call--

The drunken state is instantly removed.

Levi did not forget the purpose of his coming here, but the sudden change did disrupt his rhythm.

But at least I didn't have to pay for the hotel myself, as the young dwarf promised to pay for it.

After sobering up, Levi didn't stay here for long, and went straight out to the market.

There were quite a few people in the market at the moment. Just as the polite dwarf we met on the road said, their caravan had just returned and brought a lot of fresh goods, and everyone was taking advantage of this time to spend money.

Among the dwarves, Levi was indeed a bit conspicuous, but at least no one came to disturb him. After all, Levi's reputation was [Friendly].

As he walked, soon several blacksmith shops on the roadside attracted Levi's attention.

"Fine swords, and armor!"

Levi walked over and took a look at the goods in the shop.

【Dwarven Steel Sword】Attack +7.

Are the swords sold in any roadside shop actually good swords of the same level as diamond swords?

"Interested in weapons? Then you've come to the right place. I have some great stuff here."

"It's really good stuff." Levi nodded, but he didn't need it.

None of them are as good as your own sword.

After looking at the weapons, Levi looked at the armor again, touched it left and right, and tapped it twice with his fingers.

Finally, the blacksmith couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't look at it, human. That armor is made for dwarves. You can't fit into it. If you want, I can tailor it for you, but it may take a while."

"No, I'll just take a look."

Levi was a little depressed. He had seen the sword and touched the armor.

Why haven't I unlocked the crafting recipe yet?

Levi began to think back to the time he unlocked the new formula in Rivendell.

Yes, it is unlocked by seeing the forging table in the valley.

In this case, the dwarven recipes can only be unlocked by visiting the dwarven exclusive forging place?

"Have you decided what to buy?"

"There's nothing I want here."

Levi shook his head and asked, "Do you have diamonds or obsidian?"

The dwarf blacksmith looked at Levi strangely.

"Do I have any here? Those things can't be used as weapons or tools. I suggest you go ask the miners who often stay underground. Maybe they have some collections."

"Or, you can go and see the guy over there. He sells jewelry."

The blacksmith kindly showed Levi a way.

"Thank you."

Passing the bustling caravan, Levi came to a relatively quiet house and asked the question again.

"Obsidian? What's the use of this thing? I don't have any, but I have some diamonds. What kind do you want? A ring, a necklace, or a bracelet?"

"I want a whole piece."

The jeweler looked Levi over carefully.

As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. This human master, oh, the material of the clothes he wears is really good. It is probably luxury-level among humans. He doesn't look like he is short of money.

"How big do you want?"

"It has to be this big." Levi said, and gestured with his hands according to the size of the diamond shown in the synthesis table.

Although he was gesturing with his hands, he was still a little nervous. After all, he was not sure if he had enough money to buy the diamond he wanted. The jeweler opened his eyes wide and looked at the size that Levi gestured.

hiss--

"Sir, this size, if you want a whole piece, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to get, but if it's small pieces, I can put them together to make a diamond of the same size."

Small pieces?

Li Wei hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Okay, I can try."

Although he didn't know what Levi meant by "he could give it a try", the dwarf jeweler still walked into the warehouse, rummaged around for a while, and finally scraped out a pile of broken pieces.

"Let's see if it works."

[Unlocked recipe: Diamond grains]

A pile of diamond nuggets can be crafted into a large diamond.

"Sure, how much do you sell it for?"

The jeweler named a number.

Levi took a look at the silver coins in his backpack and felt that these ogres were indeed a bit poor.

"I don't have that many with me. Can I exchange them with other gems?"

"Yes, if the gems are worth the price."

Hearing this, Levi took out the last few gems on his body, all of which were picked from the corpse monster.

The corpse demon is still exerting its residual heat.

“These gems are of good quality. They can be exchanged for diamonds 1.2 times their size… more? These are not enough to exchange for all.”

"Make up the rest with silver coins."

Levi looked painful.

Back to before liberation overnight.

But, finally got it.

【Achievement: Diamond! 】

Back at the inn, as the achievement prompt appears, a blue diamond appears on the workbench.

He used most of his silver coins and three small gems to exchange for a diamond about the size of his fist. After the synthesis, there was still a small piece left.

It took almost all of his fortune to buy such a diamond.

I need another one, but can't afford it anymore.

Levi was a little distressed.

Suddenly, he remembered what the dwarf jeweler said.

Such a large diamond is very rare.

I think he said that, right?
Levi weighed the heavy diamond in his hand.

To be honest, this synthetic diamond is very beautiful, crystal clear, and the color is good at first glance.

After thinking about it, Levi went downstairs and asked the boss who was the richest family in the area.

A moment later, in another dwarf's residence.

“Excellent!!!”

The dwarf, who was obviously fatter than other dwarves seen outside, shouted.

"Here, here, here, all for you. My silver and gold, all for you, as long as you are willing to give it to me!"

Big, beautiful, hard diamonds of top quality were too attractive to a wealthy dwarf who loved shiny things by nature.

"I don't want gold or silver. I want diamonds. Lots of diamonds. I want them all, whether they are broken or in pieces."

"Stay here and wait for me for a while."

The dwarf hurried out with all his wealth.

After waiting for a long time, it was almost time for the next meal. Levi began to doubt whether he could come back today, when the wealthy dwarf finally broke into the house with a small box in his arms, and there was a rustling sound coming from inside.

"Look at these, are they enough?"

"I can guarantee that all the diamonds mined and sold in this area are here, and you won't be able to buy more anytime soon."

Levi opened the box and took a look.

These broken diamond grains are probably enough to synthesize five diamonds.

This guy really collects carefully.

"That's enough. Here you go."

【Achievement: Give you diamonds! 】

It was a pleasant transaction.

Levi exchanged one diamond for enough diamond grains to make five diamonds, and the dwarf exchanged some broken diamonds of just passable quality for wholesale export for a large diamond of top quality.

Both were satisfied.
