Skills without cooldown? I become the Scourge of the Undead!

Chapter 138 Don’t even want it for free?

"What is this, a mission guidance NPC?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"Maybe." Liu Xinxin wasn't sure either.

The dwarf girl in front of me.

Although he was holding a sledgehammer, the quality of the sledgehammer was obviously poor and it was covered with rust.

Its size is quite exaggerated, almost larger than the dwarf girl's own body.

The clothes she wore were made of coarse rags, without even basic armor.

Seeing that the dwarf girl was still waiting.

Lu Ran said, "We are looking for the Dwarf King. Do you know where he is?"

"Of course. In the Dwarf Kingdom, how could there be a dwarf who doesn't know where the Dwarf King's Stone Castle is?" The dwarf girl muttered, looking at Lu Ran with strange eyes.

cough cough...

Lu Ran scratched his head awkwardly.

It really is.

It’s like the human race doesn’t know which main city the imperial capital is.

"Then lead the way, we need to see the Dwarf King." Lu Ran nodded.

"Of course you can, but... there's a fee for showing me the way." The dwarf girl looked at Lu Ran carefully, as if she was worried about losing such a customer because of the charging issue.

after all.

The dwarves themselves need little help.

Few outsiders come to Blackrock City.

This is the first time that humans have seen it.

"Charging is no problem. How much?" Lu Ran asked casually.

I originally thought that this poor-looking dwarf girl would charge a lot of money.

Unexpectedly.

The dwarf girl just said carefully: "How about a hundred gold coins? If...if it's expensive, it can be a little less..."

As he spoke further, his tone became lower and lower.

what?
Lu Ran was a little confused.

This is too cheap!

As a professional, even a low-level professional, the gold coins you can get from just some rubbish white equipment or from wild monsters are more than a hundred.

"One hundred gold coins is no problem. Lead the way." Lu Ran took out a hundred gold coins and paid first.

The girl was a little surprised, but then she took the money with joy.

Said: "Okay, my name is Annie, let's go to my house first."

This……

To be honest, Lu Ran didn't want to waste time.

He wanted to go directly to see the Dwarf King.

Annie seemed to see through Lu Ran's thoughts and explained, "The Dwarf King hasn't come back yet. According to the usual time, he will probably come back in the evening. Then I will take you to see him. Don't worry, there will be no extra charge."

It turned out to be the case.

So the Dwarf King is not here now.

In this case, Lu Ran had nothing to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to your house first."

Anne's home is in a remote corner, downstream of the main city's river, at a corner under a bridge, dark and damp.

The area is not large either.

It was even a bit crowded when Lu Ran and his companions entered.

The furnishings in the room were also very simple. Apart from the daily pots and pans, there was only a wooden bed and not even a bench to sit on.

"There are not many furnitures at home. I am alone most of the time, so I don't use them, so I... I didn't buy any." Annie said embarrassedly.

Lu Ran and his friends didn't care. They just sat down against the wall and took a rest.

Nothing to do.

Lu Ran asked curiously: "You should be a dwarf warrior, right? Where is your equipment?"

Annie shook her head and said, "I haven't saved up the money yet."

In other words, I can’t afford it.

This is even stranger.

Lu Ran asked in confusion: "Aren't you dwarves good at making equipment? You can't make it yourself?"

Anne immediately shook her head again.

He said: "The dwarf's forging skills need to rely on the eternal fire, which is not available at the moment." The eternal fire again, that is what Lu Ran's mission name is!

It seems.

The digitized world has a huge impact on the dwarves.

As a hill dwarf, he was forced to leave the underground world.

They also lost the Eternal Fire, which made it impossible for the dwarves to use their forging talent, which was essential for their survival.

This not only restricted the development of the dwarves themselves, but also suppressed the survival and growth speed of a large number of dwarves.

Soon, it was almost evening.

"It's almost time, shall we go out for a walk?" Lu Ran suggested.

The space here is damp, dark, and small. Although Lu Ran does not have claustrophobia, he still feels uncomfortable here.

Besides, it was my first time in the dwarf city, so it would be a bit of a waste to just sit there.

It’s better to go around and broaden your horizons.

"That's fine." Annie nodded, picked up her sledgehammer and led the way out of the room.

There is an inner river outside the door and a bridge arch above the head.

Annie took the lead and led Lu Ran and the others around without any purpose.

From time to time, he introduced the surrounding facilities and street names to Lu Ran and the others, but the names were very complicated and not easy to remember, so Lu Ran didn't take them seriously.

When passing by an equipment store.

Anne's eyes lit up instantly.

But he didn't stay for too long and walked over quickly.

Lu Ran became curious again: "The dwarves can't forge, so where do these equipment in the equipment store come from?"

"It's left over from the old world. It's much more expensive than it was in the old world. If you want to buy it, you need to save money for a long time." Annie explained.

This is understandable.

Now the dwarves are unable to forge equipment, and what is left from the old world is one less piece as you buy it, so it’s no big deal if the price increases several times!
Liu Xinxin felt really sorry for Annie.

He looked at the equipment store owner, pointed at a sledgehammer inlaid with fire crystals on the wall and asked, "How much is this?"

The owner of the equipment store was a bearded man of short stature. He was also looking at Lu Ran and the others curiously.

Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "One thousand three hundred gold coins."

It’s very cheap, just over a thousand gold coins.

But considering how Annie was ecstatic when she earned a hundred dollars, I guess the purchasing power of gold coins in the dwarf world is much higher than in the human world!

"Annie, do you like this one? I'll pay for it and give it to you." Lu Ran also became interested and shouted to Annie.

This amount of money is nothing to Lu Ran.

But Lu Ran still had a good impression of Annie, the little dwarf girl.

Unexpectedly.

But Annie shook her head decisively.

Said: "No."

It didn't seem like a false excuse, but a real refusal.

Lu Ran was even more surprised, because he had thought Annie would be ecstatic.

Annie seemed to see Lu Ran's confusion.

He pondered and said, "I was born poor in the dwarf tribe and was destined to suffer a lot. No one has ever been so kind to me in my life, and no one has ever given me such great help. I am very grateful to you, but the dwarf tribe will not accept benefits from others for no reason. Thank you, I will save enough money to buy equipment."

After saying that, he grinned at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's heart was touched.

But I didn't continue to insist.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the main street ahead.

Lu Ran and the others looked over subconsciously, but saw nothing.

But Annie beside him shouted excitedly: "The Dwarf King is back!"

Oh?
Lu Ran's eyes lit up, and the mission was about to begin!

He hurriedly followed Annie to the main street. Although there were a lot of people here, the good thing was that even if Lu Ran was behind the crowd, he still had a wide view.

You can see a group of dwarf warriors riding bighorn sheep slowly entering the city.

The dwarf in the lead was much taller, holding a war hammer that flashed with arcs of lightning, and the bighorn sheep he was sitting on was also much taller.

Anne introduced: "The leader is our dwarf king, Barron the Stone!"
