    On the Silver Moon, Hu Bin was sitting leisurely on the stern fishing, while several Pelagian sailors were skillfully handling various positions on the ship, while Okov and several Ithilian rangers were lying on the side of the ship, vomiting.  These rangers, who regarded the mountainous and forested terrain as nothing, were severely seasick.  After the Battle of Baicheng, humans began to form an army to expedition to Modo, but Hu Bin was not optimistic about them.  The relationship between the Kingdom of Rohan and the Kingdom of Gondor is not as close as a family after the war in the original plot. Although King Theoden's survival has improved the morale of Rohan's side, there is no need for a decisive battle.  Momentum, the army and the Gondor side are only an alliance rather than a merger.  The internal contradictions in the Kingdom of Gondor are not small. Although Aragorn brought the undead army to save the battle at the last moment, he failed to retain this terrifying army.  With the help of Romil, he fought a wonderful battle, and the aftermath of the war was also satisfactory. Coupled with the reputation he had accumulated in the hearts of the people, the country did not want this wise regent to step down.  Although Aragorn has the support of Boromir and Gandalf, he has never been able to legitimately control the military power of the Kingdom of Gondor. Although Theoden, who is in poor health, intends to let him command Rohan's army, at this embarrassing stage, Aragorn  It's really hard for Gonya to be too close to the Rohan Kingdom.  The Silver Moon slowly sailed past the Aocheng Fortress. This war-torn place has now truly turned into ruins. Apart from the port that has been renovated and put into use, there are only a bunch of ruins standing by the river.  .  Hu Bin put away the fishing rod in his hand, looked at the ruins and waited quietly.  The warship slowly docked into the port under the control of the sailors.  A group of people were already waiting there.  The four former members of the Alliance of Lords, Hebrew, Del, Wild Wolf, and Ben, who had met once before, all became guests on the Silver Moon, and they did not accept the offer of the Regent of Gondor to stay.  He abandoned his territory and title and rejoined the ranks of adventurers.  The group planned to take a boat and sail upstream along the Anduin River to the north, where they would visit the dwarf settlements in the Blue Mountain and the Lonely Mountain. If there was enough time, they would turn west again and form a team to enter the mines of Moria.  Adventure.  Several lord numberers also decided to withdraw from the next battle after seeing the current situation clearly. Otherwise, with their reputation, they could have raised an army to join the battle.  Hu Bin's old friend, the dwarf Vicky, was also traveling with him. This lucky dwarf numberer could be said to have followed the saying that surviving a disaster will bring good fortune, and he accidentally walked in with Aragon Gimli and others.  When we got together, we successfully completed the recruitment mission of the Undead Army with them.  By the way, he took the Silver Moon, which came specially to meet Aragorn, and caught up with the end of the Battle of White City.  The outstanding performance of the Undead Legion allowed Vicky to receive a large number of contribution rewards, and actually allowed him to complete the main mission, which even Hu Bin was a little envious of.  With Vicky as a local leader of the dwarf tribe, Hu Bin and his party also decided to place the first stop of their adventure at the place where Vicky descended, a dwarf settlement near the Blue Mountain.  Going to the Blue Mountains by water is also a helpless move. Hu Bin and his party, who experienced the Battle of Baicheng, lost almost all their troops. Even the number of manpower for the warships had to be made up by the numberers themselves.  Fortunately, Ben and Vicky had done the work of sailors in previous missions, otherwise Hu Bin, the nominal captain, would have gone into battle himself.  The resurrection of the Demon Lord Sauron has led to a lot more frequent activities of orcs in Middle-earth, doubling the risk for Hu Bin and his party to travel to the Blue Mountains by land.  However, this situation is not without its benefits, because the Modo orcs suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Baicheng, and the White Tower orcs were permanently expelled to the desert in the southern part of the mainland for various reasons.  Modo, who was short of major generals, had to recruit the orcs from the Moria mines, and the Moria orcs whose original backer, the Balrog, had been defeated, were also very willing to join Sauron.  This means that the defense strength of the mines of Moria, where a large amount of wealth is buried, has been reduced a lot.  It took the Silver Moon four days to arrive near the basin where the Blue Mountains are located. After handing the ship over to the care of Okov and other men, Hu Bin and others embarked on a journey to visit the dwarves.  "Don't have too high expectations for the dwarves. They don't like outsiders, especially elves." Vicky said to the others while standing in front of the Belegost Fortress.  The guard's unfriendly eyes also confirmed this.  Although Belegost is called a fortress, it is actually just a medium-sized city with taller and stronger walls.  The city built on a hill has a difficult terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Coupled with the defense machinery placed by the dwarves on the city wall, it is indeed worthy of the name of a fortress.  Hu Bin and his party followed Vader and sneaked into the fortress, but found that the place was not as prosperous as they imagined. There were not many dwarves on the streets, but more humans came here to do business.  Seeing the expressions on his companions' faces, Vicky knew what they were thinking.  "Here'sThe human population is not large, because Gushan has returned to the embrace of the dwarves, and most of the dwarves have left here and gone to Gushan.  In addition, in order to contain the Rune army, most of the troops in Blue Mountain have gone out of the city to fight, so it seems a bit depressed now.  Let's go, don't take it on the street, you will be slaughtered as a fat sheep by those businessmen, I will take you to a good place.  " When Vicky said "a good place", Hu Bin had an ominous premonition. Sure enough, Vicky took them to the door of a large wooden house. There was a large wine glass painted on the signboard, and there were bustling people inside.  The sound was faintly audible. The group of people who pushed in finally knew where the missing dwarves were. Even as one of the largest buildings in the city, this pub seemed quite crowded. "Uncle Binko, here.  Let¡¯s each have a glass of pure ale. Remember, it¡¯s pure ale, and no water is allowed in it.  "Vicky shouted to the old dwarf at the bar with familiarity. "Vicky, you bastard boy, you feel uncomfortable as soon as you come back. When did I mix my wine with water? Is it tight? Do you want me to loosen it for you?  One loose.  "Although the old dwarf cursed, he quickly poured everyone a large glass of ale. "Elf?  It's not common here, why do you proud guys come to this place.  "The old dwarf glanced at Hu Bin and said lightly. Before Hu Bin could reply, Vicky put down a gold coin, pushed his back and walked out. Making faces at the old dwarf as he walked.  Hebrew and others had already found an empty table. The six of them sat around the table and listened to the chatter of other people in the bar, trying to find any useful information. As a place for information circulation, the pub has always been a place for adventure.  The permanent residence of the numberers, but Hu Bin is an exception. None of them has experience as an adventurer in the Lord of the Rings world. Coincidentally, none of them chose the mercenary profession as their initial choice.  Occupation. Naturally, he couldn't start the adventure mission posted in the tavern. After listening to a lot of nonsense, everyone except Vicki was still drinking. Hu Bin tried to take a sip from the cup.  The quality of the ale was good and the taste was very pure, but Hu Bin, who was spoiled by all kinds of high-end wines, still found it difficult to swallow. He frowned and put down the glass, and then he was snatched away by Vicky who had finished his share.  He passed the cup and smiled while drinking: "I knew you couldn't stand it, so I can drink a double portion today.  " "Vicky, although we are not in a hurry, it is not the time to rest yet.  "Hu Bin said in a funny way, this guy is really not polite at all. He probably has already planned on himself. "Be patient, Reed, you must know that sometimes opportunities need to wait for a while.  "Vicci blinked his eyes playfully. Unfortunately, it was against the customs to act cute with his dignity. He was immediately hit on the head by Hu Bin with a knife. He almost spat out the drink in his mouth. "Don't be so pretentious, just say it.  .  Otherwise" Not only Hu Bin, but also Hebrew and others are gearing up to use Vicki for entertainment. "Don't underestimate this tavern. Old Binko is the best master craftsman here. Many human businessmen have worked hard.  In order to please him, this bar was bought by a big human businessman and given to him with a large sum of gold coins. He just wanted a pair of armor for his son.  "Vicci saw that the situation was not good and immediately told what he knew. After hearing this, both Ye Wolf and Ben showed expressions of excitement. They just lacked a set of high-quality armor. But Hebrew  He and Dai'er are not very interested. The Hebrew armor is of good quality, but Dai'er simply doesn't like heavy armor. "Vicky, I'm not short of equipment. Are there any other masters here?"  "Hu Bin asked, rubbing his brows. He started out as an equipment dealer, how could he spend too much attention on this. "Don't be too busy being disappointed. You must know that the forging technology of the dwarves is no worse than that of the elves, Uncle Binko.  But he is one of the few masters who has mastered the rune enchantment technology.  " At this time, except for Dai'er, everyone's glasses lit up, especially Hu Bin. Unlike others, he didn't understand rune technology. He had mentioned the dwarves many times in the elves' collections.  Most of the rune enchanting techniques appear together with the names of famous weapons in history. ¡°But Uncle Binko has not done it for a long time. I have been begging for a long time, but he has not agreed to build a rune weapon for me.  So don't expect me to be of any help. I'll help you find the person, and the rest is up to you.  "After Vicki finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine. The others looked at each other and looked at the old dwarf at the bar from time to time, but no one took the lead to make a move. "Huh!  It's really refreshing. I haven't drunk such pure ale for a long time. Brother Jinli will be jealous to death if he knows about it. The ale of Blue Mountain is so popular in Dwarf.It's a unique one.  "After Vicki muttered to himself, others who didn't know what to do said: "Binko will hand over the business of the tavern to others in the afternoon, and we can go to his house to greet him at that time.  But the old guy's asking price is very high, so don't be frightened by him when the time comes.  " "As long as I can get the chance to enchant him with runes, I will kill him even if I use gold coins to hit him.  "Wild Wolf said with confidence, but he soon became less confident, because "For Vicky's sake, it's not impossible to build a rune equipment, but you have to prepare the materials yourself.  You have to prepare two copies and get two hundred thousand gold coins as a reward. If you can do it, I will sacrifice my old bones to open the furnace for you.  "In the evening, at Old Binko's home, the dwarf master craftsman shocked several people as soon as he opened his mouth. Hu Bin did not rush to bargain, but politely said goodbye to the dwarf master and took the others out of the house. And his temper was a bit  "  Vicki, is there any place that sells alchemy and potion materials here?  " Dai'er finally lost her temper. Although she was very interested in rune weapons, she was not determined to win. Such a high price was not something she could bear. "Of course, there are also many human alchemy workshops here.  , you can go to the human merchant trading area to have a look.  But be careful not to get tricked.  "After Vicky finished speaking, she saw Dai'er leaving without hesitation, holding a list of materials in her hands and constantly calculating how much possessions she had left to take out. "Let's go shopping in other places as well.  Let's go shopping, maybe you'll find something new. Let's meet up at the pub.  "Hebrew said with some regret that all the resources he and Dai'er had were used to complete the main mission. Although he gained a large fortune by selling off the territory and property, it was not enough to squander it like this.  "I'm with you!  "Ben left here with Hebrews. "I'll go to the pub for a few more drinks. See you then.  "The wild wolf slowly walked towards the bar with a shocked expression. "I'm sorry, Reed, it looks like your trip was in vain.  "Vicci said somewhat depressedly. "No, friend, in fact you did me a big favor.  You take me out for a walk until I die.  Can you tell me more about Master Binko on the way?  "Hu Bin did not express any dissatisfaction with the master craftsman's lion. In his opinion, the remuneration quoted by the old dwarf was simply too reasonable for a piece of rune equipment. "Well, okay.  But are you really interested in that condition?  " "Who knows.  "  At midnight, Hu Bin said goodbye to the drunken others and returned to his room in the hotel. Lying in bed, he repeatedly thought about what he had learned from Vicky tonight about Master Binko. The background of Master Binko  It's quite extraordinary. As one of the few top master craftsmen in the dwarf clan, his status in the clan is very high. However, the indifferent dwarf master doesn't pay much attention to things in the clan. This place on the Blue Mountain.  After the city was established, he settled here as a member of the Blue Mountain Council at that time. Vicky told Hu Bin that this master loved his people very much. Vicky took great care of him when he first came here.  Most of the armor and weapons were bought and given to him by the old dwarf. However, the old dwarf was not so easy to talk to outsiders. If you want to get any equipment from him, you must be prepared to bleed a lot.  The dwarf has superb forging skills. Even so, there are still many people who are willing to pay a lot of money to ask him to forge some equipment. ¡°One of the members of the parliament?  It seems that we have to start from other aspects.  "Hu Bin suddenly remembered the incident when Hebrew and Ben complained to others when they came back from shopping. The price of food in Blue Mountain was really too expensive. Hebrew and Ben, who wanted to buy some food and grass, were already dissatisfied with the price of food in this city.  Extremely disappointed. ¡°The Blue Mountains are located in a hilly area, and the land is not suitable for growing crops. The only people nearby are the Runes and the Jungle Elves. Obviously, it is impossible for these two forces to transport food here.  It seems that the food here is delivered by human merchants. Judging from the distance from here to human cities, it is not strange that food prices are high.  "Hu Bin raised the corners of his mouth slightly and touched the ring on his head. It seemed that he had something to do again. Early the next morning, Dai'er returned to her room after breakfast and continued to collect her bottles.  , while Vicky and Wild Wolf got together to start a new day of drunkenness, while Hebrew and Ben continued to explore the opportunities in the city. Hu Bin ordered a glass of juice and sat in front of the bar.  seat, from baggageHe took out a piece of lambas and started to chew on it. The old dwarf glanced at the dry food in Hu Bin's hand, muttered something and turned around to clean the wine cabinet.  After Hu Bin finished the day's worth of lambas in his own cup, he took out a bottle of wine produced in the warband world and poured it into the previous juice cup in front of the old dwarf.  ¡°Guys who bring their own drinks are not welcome here!¡± Old Binko said with some dissatisfaction, but his nose was wrinkled by the aroma of wine.  "But guys who invite people to drink are definitely welcome here. Why don't you have a drink?" Hu Bin said, lifting the small-necked bottle of wine.  The old dwarf grabbed the wine bottle unceremoniously, poured himself a full glass of wine, and drank half of the glass in one go. Then he took a long breath and said: "It's such a sweet wine, no wonder you don't like me."  The wine here, you are different from the other elves. Tell me, if you have anything to do with me, let me know in advance that the conditions for me to build the equipment are absolutely necessary." Hu Bin was not affected by the old dwarf's rude words.  , because the space clearly reminded that the goodwill between him and the old dwarf has improved a lot. As expected, good wine is the best stepping stone for dwarves in any world. Next, Hu Bin will get to the point.  "Master Binko, I can solve the food problem of the Blue Mountain clan." The old dwarf did not react immediately to Hu Bin's words. Instead, he stared at Hu Bin with sharp eyes for a long time. Hu Bin spoke to him without fear.  The old dwarfs looked at each other and waited patiently for each other.  The old dwarf, who had been silent for a long time, drank up the wine in his glass with one last sip. When he filled it up for himself again, he finally said: "Keep talking." The corners of Hu Bin's mouth finally turned up.
