Chapter 86: Whimsy
Standing in front of the soldier, Yi was obviously at a loss. Although the other party was only half as tall as his, his beard and glaring eyes were not like a child at all. So Yi Ming coughed awkwardly, and then he found the most appropriate statement he thought was.
"This old gentleman..."
"I'm not old at all!"
The dwarf waved the iron axe that was taller than him, and his voice was loud enough that even the birds on the nearby trees screamed and spread their wings and flew away.
"………………this."
"Master Brician, please don't make things difficult for Yiming."
Marien came over, holding a stack of rosters in her hand. Although she was talking to the dwarf, she didn't even look at the dwarf.
"The idea of your request to build a blacksmith shop here is completely unfeasible, and the rooms inside the castle will not be used for such things. I think you should do your job well. Are you here to detect the minerals here, right? If there is not even minerals, how do we build the next facilities? The blacksmith shop is not needed now. Please don't make this difficult for our Lord Lord."
The dwarf looked at Marien angrily, as if he wanted to say something to her, but Marien ignored him at all. After saying that, she left step by step, as if she came here just to make a fuss and make a speech. When the old dwarf turned his gaze back to Yiming, he found that he was gone. So the old dwarf could only complain a few times, then turn and leave.
(It's awful situation?)
"I'm really not used to such a job."
Facing Meyali coming towards him, Yiming seemed to have nothing to do except rub his eyebrows. After that, Yiming made specific arrangements and gave Marian political aspects to do. Military training was left to Elinoa, but in any case, the final decision must be decided by Yiming. The Bellroga, who lacked existence and felt that he would not be noticed, had no special hope. Meiali could not speak, and she had no way to help Yiming bear any difficulties, and she could not help him convey the orders.
These made Yi Ming feel a headache. He was good at commanding battles, but he was not good at governing or creating anything. Yi Ming only divided people into three types, trustworthy, indifferent, and enemies. Since their lives have always been in extreme environments, Yi Ming often faces only trustworthy and enemies. The ones in the middle... Since it doesn't matter, it doesn't need to be paid attention to.
But now Yi Ming discovered that the number of people who were usually designated as indifferent by him seemed to have increased. Of course, he could not trust the old dwarf in front of him, but he could not kill him with one sword. But for Yi Ming, if he had to make a choice other than these two choices, it would be a very troublesome thing. The fifty soldiers sent to them by the Lord of Heaven were veterans, but there were all kinds of races. There were "petty" like the old dwarf, and there were also several orc warriors with tall and burly figures, even more than two meters in length. There were also several slender elves and only centaurs who looked like humans... In short, they were all messy races that had never been heard of.
Fortunately, Marian helped Yiming share this part of the difficulties. According to her idea, she would become the leader of the clan in the future and could also become the next minister of magic affairs in the empire. No matter what she would eventually become, she would be a powerful minister. And Marian had no intention of concealing her desires at all. In her opinion, managing this place was also a small experiment. Of course, it would occupy Marian's magic cultivation time, which made her very dissatisfied.
Except for Alinoa who had to lead more than a dozen soldiers to wander around in the name of "patrol", the rest of the soldiers were working hard to build their new home. Yiming was a person who liked to deceive people. Of course, he could not tell these soldiers about the Federal Prince and the swordsman he led lurking in the forest, and he did not even want them to be more vigilant. Because only in this way can people relax. By that time, if anyone suddenly disappeared, then for Yiming, it would be the best time to determine the prince and his group.
Of course, Yi Ming did not have much expectations for these soldiers who only built their own homes near the castle every day. Unless the prince was willing to come over directly with people and shouted to him, "Young-mouthed child, you have the courage to fight this young master." Otherwise, in order to avoid shocking him, Prince Heine would not act easily. What is more susceptible to danger is Elinoa's patrol team. Although she was wandering around in the name of patrol every day, she actually acted as bait to see if Prince Heine could be drawn out. Of course, Yi Ming was not worried about their safety. Because Meyalie has been with Ellie Piao Astronomy to fight. Reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance, tracking and anti-stalking are the things that Yi Ming is best at. So he would not talk much about the construction of towns, after all, Yi Ming couldn't remind him.
"How is your situation?"
(There is no abnormality, but Miss Alinoa always asks me to compete with her for sword skills, which makes me very upset.)
Mealie put away the umbrella and sat down with Yiming. The two nominal masters had no sense of ruling at all, and they still did what they should do or what they should do. Marian complained a few times and gave up wisely, and Elinoa seemed to have not given up yet. I don’t know what the change had happened to her, and she was pestering to compete with Mealie in swordsmanship every day. Fortunately, Mealie couldn’t speak, and people with some congenital shortcomings were always easy to arouse sympathy for others, so after Mealie politely expressed her rejection, Elinoa did not press on her anymore. But she asked almost every day that if she could pass through the water with a stone, Elinoa’s efforts might have been able to pass through a whole rock layer with a broken belt.
(And, I find it boring.)
Mealie leaned her head on Yiming's shoulder and complained a little. For her, she had to go out to patrol with Elinoa every day. Yiming and Marien, who were able to communicate with her, stayed in the castle, so Mealie felt very lonely. Even if Elinoa sometimes asked her about something she caringly, she couldn't talk to the other party in depth because of the women at the same time. But even so, Mealie would never use her ability to communicate with others at will, which was also her principle. Lita and Marien had a strong trust relationship, so Mealie would chat and talk to them with confidence, and they did not disappoint Mealie's expectations. Both of them had never told others about Mealie's abilities, which made Mealie very relieved.
However, loneliness is loneliness. When you are among a group of people but cannot communicate with others, loneliness will become more obvious.
(By the way, what's the matter with that old man just now?)
"He said he wanted to build a blacksmith shop, build some weapons or armor, and Marian disagreed."
(I heard that dwarves have very good talent in manufacturing?)
"That's what Marien said, but it's not very useful to us."
Yi Ming picked up Mayali's blonde hair and started playing with it. This was his habit, and Mayali just glared at him lightly.
(Don't fiddle with a lady's hair, this is not a polite act.)
"Okay, OK, it's not the first time, you should get used to it."
Yi Ming had no intention of reflecting, but just shrugged his shoulders and continued to ask curiously.
"What are you asking about this? Should you want a new weapon?"
(This is not...I was just wondering if he could help me make something for fun.)
Mayalie turned her beautiful two-color pupils and said to Yi Ming with a slight smug smile.
When he stood in front of the dwarf again, Yi Ming still felt a little depressed, but he quickly recalled Marien's words and then spoke.
“Master Bristian.”
"What are you telling me?! I won't dig a hole!! I'm not a mouse!!"
"Didn't you ask you to dig a hole? I heard you are very good at making props?"
“Dwarves are very good at making!!”
The old dwarf jumped up and pointed at Yi Ming's nose and shouted to him, but this made Yi Ming feel much calmer.
"I don't know this, but if you are good at making, I hope you make something for Mealie. Of course, if you can satisfy Mealie, I will consider proposing a question to Marian about the blacksmith shop."
"oh…………?"
Seeing that Yi Ming's tone was a little loose, the old dwarf hummed and raised his giant axe, pridefully raised his head to look at Yi Ming.
"So, you pretty bad guy! What do you want me to do!!"
"this."
Yiming handed over a drawing, which was covered with the patterns and shapes drawn by Meyali, as well as some strange symbols. The old dwarf took it, flipped left and right, and even flipped back and forth for a long time before looking up, then raised his head and muttered strangely. "What is this? A weapon? A bow? What is this?"
Yiming shrugged. Although Mealie had already indicated what this was on the drawings, because she was using German, even the old dwarf did not understand it.
But he doesn't need to understand it either.
Yi Ming smiled lightly and turned around and left. He was sure that this thing would take a lot of time to Hua Lao Dwarf.
Yi Ming was not interested in paying attention to the possible problems caused by this.
