Chapter 581: The Banquet
Knock, knock, knock—three knocks on the door suddenly woke up the three heavy-hearted individuals inside. Billy looked towards the door and said in a deep voice, “Who is it?”
A voice from outside responded, “Clan Leader, the banquet is ready. Please come over with Elder Zhao Hai.”
Billy couldn’t help but slap his forehead; they had talked about too many serious matters just now, making them unconsciously forget about the banquet.
Billy quickly said, “Alright, I understand. We'll head over right away; you go ahead.”
The person outside responded and turned to leave.
Billy then turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Of course, it's no problem for the dwarves to go to your territory. I will arrange that. How many people do you need from your side?”
Zhao Hai smiled and replied, “The more, the better. But once they come to my place, there won't be much time for ironworking. After all, I don't have much iron; it's mainly about planting crops and production. However, there will be plenty of food and wine when they get there.”
Billy laughed heartily and said, “Then that's no problem. Actually, if the prophecy really comes true for you, it might be a good thing for us. You haven't forgotten, have you? That prophecy mentioned accompanying the king and being a hero for all time. Who knows, I might really become a great contributor!”
Zhao Hai smiled wryly and said, “You want to be a hero? I don’t want to be what they call a non-king of kings. Those bastards in the God Realm just love to stir up trouble. Can't we all just live our lives in peace? Those bastards.”
Zhao Hai usually pays attention to his words and actions, but now that things have escalated, he couldn’t help but vent his frustration a bit.
Billy laughed heartily and said, “Good, well said! Those guys in the God Realm are indeed no good! Alright, let’s stop talking about that. Let’s go drink; after all, today is a day of good fortune!”
With no other option, Zhao Hai nodded, and Juno also laughed. The three of them stepped out of the door, but this time Billy didn’t take them to the dining place; instead, he led them directly to the Temple Square.
Once they arrived at the square, Zhao Hai was taken aback. The Temple Square was vast, over ten thousand square meters, yet it was now filled with tables. Many dwarves had already taken their seats, and several dwarf women were busy arranging dishes on the tables.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hai was in awe. He had seen such a gathering in the orc tribe, but he hadn’t expected the dwarves to have a tradition of holding grand banquets as well.
Zhao Hai noticed that Laura and the others had already been invited to the square and were sitting at one of the tables, chatting and laughing with several dwarf women.
Billy didn’t say much and pulled Zhao Hai to a reserved table for them, where dwarf delicacies were already laid out.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately turned to Billy and said, “I still have quite a bit of wine here. Should I bring it out for everyone?”
Billy laughed and said, “Of course, do it quickly!”
He then stood up and loudly announced, “Today, we hold this banquet to celebrate our dwarf clan inviting a foreign elder. Elder Zhao Hai is extremely pleased today and has prepared to treat everyone to drinks!”
As soon as Billy finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the square. Zhao Hai didn’t hesitate and, with a slight smile and a wave of his hand, bags filled with milk wine made from animal skins appeared in the square. Each bag contained no less than a hundred jin.
Zhao Hai brought out about five hundred bags before stopping. There were over ten thousand dwarves in the square, and if he brought out too little, it wouldn’t be enough to drink.
After Zhao Hai pulled out these bags of milk wine, dwarf women took them to each table. Zhao Hai noticed that each of those dwarf women could easily lift two bags of milk wine, and he couldn’t help but smile wryly. The strength of the dwarf clan was indeed astonishing; these women could pick up weapons and become warriors when necessary, making them a formidable race.
