Chapter 49: Advanced Blacksmith and Organizing Rewards

After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke, revealing his concerns.

“You’re such a thoughtful human boy.”

“However, I’m used to being free and unrestrained. Do you have wine to drink if I join your territory?”

Hearing the words of the drunken dwarf.

A sly smile appeared on Zong Shen’s face.

“Wine?”

“What do you think about the wine in my hand?”

With a flip of his hand, Zong Shen took out the [Mellow Green Fruit Wine] that he had obtained from the bronze treasure chest earlier.

This was a green superior-grade wine.

He removed the cap.

He placed the small wine jar under the nose of the drunkard dwarf and shook it.

“Hu…”

“This mellow fragrance…”

“This fresh scent…”

“This is the elven’s Green Fruit Wine!”

This dwarf named Bronzebeard Jiu Huo was indeed an alcoholic. Just by smelling it, he knew what kind of wine Zong Shen was holding.

“Good eyes. As long as you agree to return to the territory with me and pledge your loyalty to me, you will have abundant fine wine in the future.”

Zong Shen continued to bluff.

This wave of psychological attacks, coupled with the wine that he liked, almost fooled this drunken dwarf.

Bronzebeard Jiu Huo smacked his lips as if he was considering whether he should agree.

Zong Shen struck while the iron was hot.

“You have your own legs. If you’re not satisfied with my territory, you can leave anytime.”

Hearing Zong Shen’s words.

Bronzebeard Jiu Huo finally nodded.

“I am a member of the Bronzebeard Dwarf Tribe.”

“Bronzebeard Jiu Huo swears his loyalty to you!”

Zong Shen had an enthusiastic smile on his face.

“Good, good, welcome to our territory!”

Then, he pulled out the [Sharp German Sword] and cut the ropes.

Bronzebeard Jiu Huo nimbly landed on the ground. Ignoring the light armor and equipment that Zong Shen had taken off him, he eagerly took the [Mellow Green Forest Fruit Wine] from Zong Shen’s hands.

Raising his thick neck, he began to chug it down.

He took a big gulp to relieve the alcohol urge in his heart.

Then, he carefully sealed the cork and started putting on his equipment.

Carrying the wine jar, he slowly followed behind Zong Shen.

“Lord, please bring me back to your territory.”

Bronzebeard Jiu Huo had some good wine in his hands and seemed very satisfied with the current situation.

Of course, Zong Shen was also very satisfied. Where else could he find a high-level blacksmith who would be loyal to him as long as he gave him wine?

After Bronzebeard Jiu Huo declared his loyalty.

Zong Shen could already find some information about him.

[Dwarf Warrior: Bronzebeard Jiu Huo]

[Aptitude: Rare]

[Rank: Level 47]

[Attribute: (The grade difference is too great to check)]

[Satiety: 73]

[Loyalty Level: 65]

Zong Shen still could not check his detailed attributes.

However, the purple rare-grade aptitude and his level 47 rank were enough to prove that this guy’s combat ability was much more reliable than his drunken appearance.

Fortunately, his loyalty was still at 65 points.

It was lower than that of the peasants whom Tasya had saved from those bandit camps.

As long as he nurtured their relationship well and gave him some good wine, his loyalty would increase sooner or later.

Not only was this guy a blacksmith, but he was also a Dwarf Warrior with a high rank and aptitude.

Zong Shen smiled in satisfaction and mounted his old traveling horse. He waved his hand at Bronzebeard Jiu Huo and Iron Pole.

“Let’s go back to our territory.”

He tightened his grip around the horse’s belly and started riding slowly back to the camp.

The dwarf and Iron Pole followed behind him, not much slower than the old traveling horse.

Zong Shen began to look at his gains from the dungeon in peace.

Besides the materials, he also obtained many blueprints.

[Level 2 Residential Building Blueprint ×1]

[Quality: Ordinary Human Construction]

(Restores 1.5 health points per hour)

Zong Shen clapped his hands, and the blueprint turned into a white light that was held in his hand.

[Beginner’s Land Construction Map (10 × 10)]

[Quality: Normal]

[A complete building that does not require materials. Please choose an area to place it.]

[Construction time: 4m]

[A tavern building, a good place for drinking and recreation. It needs be provided with drinks and a bartender for the operation of the tavern. This building can expand the influence of the territory and has the opportunity to attract powerful soldiers or heroes.]

[Construction time: 6h24m]

Zong Shen also learned the superior-grade blueprint of the tavern first, so that he could save a slot in his storage compartment.

Before he had a stable production of wine, the tavern was useless.

Although he still had some fine liquor left in his hands, he was afraid that it would not be enough for an experienced alcoholic like Bronzebeard Jiu Huo.

He would have to wait until he had a stable source of alcohol before building it.

[Basement Construction Blueprint]

[Underground space: 27 cubic meters]

[Sturdiness: 1000]

[Grade 1 Territory Research Building. After construction, you can use a certain amount of resources to research various Grade 1 Territorial Technology.]

[Construction time: 2h24m]

“Are the territorial technologies out yet?”

Zong Shen clicked his tongue in wonder. He clapped his hands and decided to learn the blueprint first.

At the same time, he added it to his urgent list of construction.

[Rank 2 City Lord Residence Upgrade Certificate obtained]

[After completing the territory expansion mission, you can use this certificate to upgrade the City Lord Residence to level two (You need to repair the level one City Lord Residence)]

Apart from the blueprints, there were also various materials obtained from the monsters.

However, after he returned to the territory and built the Blacksmith Store, he planned to leave all of this to the dwarf.

Now, he began to inspect the other items.
