Lu Yunrui slowly stepped onto the red carpet and walked along the carpet towards the cave. The moment he stepped onto the red carpet, the cheers in the cave rang out again, louder and louder.
The water and fire guards exchanged a glance before following.
Little White also wanted to follow, but Alice gently wrapped her arms around its neck and whispered a few words in its ear. The other unicorn that Alice called " Nan Nan " also came forward and nudged Little White with its head. Little White turned its head and glanced at Nan Nan. It snorted and dug the ground with its right front hoof. It did not move again.
Lu Yunrui stepped on the carpet and walked towards the cave. Wherever he passed, people bowed and saluted.
After entering the cave, a man-made staircase appeared in front of them. It meandered up the cave wall and reached the top of the cave wall. A red carpet had already been laid on the stairs. On the walls of the cave, there was a gemstone inlaid at a distance. Countless gemstones sparkled, illuminating the entire cave as if it was daytime.
Walking up the stone steps to the high platform, the Dwarf King was already waiting at the entrance with a group of people.
Seeing Lu Yunrui come out of the cave, a fat woman with heavy makeup came forward with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. She first bowed and then respectfully presented the flowers with both hands.
Lu Yunrui returned the greeting, took the flower, and thanked him softly. The woman bowed and left.
The Dwarf King strode forward and said with a bright smile,"We feel extremely honored that Mr. Lu can come to our Dwarf Race!”
"It's my honor to meet His Majesty the Dwarf King!" Lu Yunrui also smiled.”
The Dwarf King stepped forward and held Lu Yunrui's arm, smiling as he said,""My name is Sangranxi Mengdu Dale. I heard that you call His Majesty Gaia by his name in the Elf Clan. You have to treat me the same, don't be biased!”
With that, he introduced everyone behind him to Lu Yunrui.
Those who could stand on the platform were all of extremely high status in the dwarves, and there were even a few noble ladies among them. What Lu Yunrui did not expect was that the woman who presented him with flowers was actually the most beautiful woman of the Dwarf Race. Lu Yunrui was truly surprised.
After introducing everyone, Sang Ge took Lu Yunrui's hand and walked to the edge of the platform. He held Lu Yunrui's hand and raised it high.
"Everyone, today is a special day. First of all, Mr. Lu has traveled thousands of miles to our dwarf race. We are extremely honored by Mr. Lu's visit! Now, let's cheer for Mr. Lu's arrival!”
As soon as Sanger finished speaking, the cheers below the stage rang out again. The loud sound wave seemed to want to flip the ceiling over.
Sanger made a hand gesture to suppress everyone's voices and continued,"The reason why today is a special day is not only because of Mr. Lu's arrival. As we all know, there are often bandits in the Mulberry Valley. Many merchant caravans have been destroyed there, seriously affecting the foreign trade of our Dwarf Race. Although my clan has sent out many people to clear the area, we have returned empty-handed. Today, another caravan was attacked by bandits there. Everyone had just seen their miserable state. This caravan from Qin City was extremely lucky. Although they were attacked and suffered many casualties, they were not destroyed and followed in the footsteps of the other caravans. And all of this was because of Mister Lu's timely appearance. Not only did Mister Lu save the caravan from the brink of destruction, but he also brought his guards and wiped out the bandit group of more than 500 people with just a few people. Moreover, Mister Lu has promised to help us find the mastermind behind the scenes and bring peace to this place! Now, let us celebrate the merchant group's escape from the tiger's mouth! They praised Mr. Lu's bravery! Let's cheer and celebrate for the world to regain its peace!”
Sanger's words stirred up another wave of cheers.
Sang Ge turned around and grabbed Lu Yunrui's right hand. He smiled and invited her,""Mister Lu, please follow me to my seat!"
Then, he pulled Lu Yunrui and turned around to leave.
At this moment, Lu Yunrui realized that a table had been set up on the platform at some point in time. Wine and dishes were already placed on the table.
Lu Yunrui gently patted Sanger's hand that was holding his, and then gently broke free from Sanger's grasp. Under everyone's surprised gazes, he strode to the nearest table and took a wine glass from it. He filled it with wine, then walked to the edge of the platform and raised the wine glass.
"Friends present, before we drink, let's toast to those who died. May their souls rest in peace as soon as possible! May their heroic spirits protect this vast continent!”
After saying that, Lu Yunrui raised his cup with both hands and slowly poured the wine on the platform.
When the crowd saw this, they all imitated Lu Yunrui and sprinkled the wine on the ground.
Lu Yunrui put down the wine glass and walked to Sang Ge's side.
"Mister Lu, you don't forget the people who died. I admire your kindness!" Sanger praised.”
"Respecting the dead is what we should do!" Lu Yunrui replied indifferently.”
Sang Ge smiled and led Lu Yunrui to the two tables that were lined up against the mountain wall. He invited Lu Yunrui to sit behind the table on the left, and he brought his wife to sit on the right. The others also took their seats.
Lu Yunrui took a look and found that the dwarves were all sitting in pairs on the right side of the platform. The seats on the left were empty, as if they were waiting for someone.
Lu Yunrui smiled at Sang Ge and said,""I didn't bring anything good this time. I heard that you dwarves like to drink strong alcohol, so I casually brought some. I hope you like it!”
Hearing this, Sanger's eyes lit up."I heard from Parker that you improved the fine wine of the elves, causing the quality of the wine to take a huge leap. Moreover, there is also a colorless wine known as the Immortal Mansion Wine. It has several flavors when drunk and is very suitable for us dwarves. Did you bring them?"
"That's right!" Lu Yunrui nodded and smiled.”
"Where is it?" Sanger was overjoyed and urged hurriedly. Quickly take it out and let us see it!”
Lu Yunrui smiled and waved her hand, releasing the wine in the ring.
Immediately, hundreds of wine jars appeared in the middle of the platform, stacked up like a small mountain. The rich fragrance of the wine seeped through the seal, making one drool.
Sang Ge rushed forward, picked up a wine jar, and sniffed greedily.
Parker's movements were even faster. He flew forward and took out a jar of wine. He returned to the banquet and opened the wine seal, pouring himself a cup and drinking.
When the other dwarves saw this, they did not need anyone to call them. They immediately went forward to take a jar of wine and returned to their seats to drink.
" You drunkards!" Sang Ge laughed and scolded." You drunkards don't care about your lives when you drink. You don't even know how to behave. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the guests?!"”
"Now I see his true nature!" Lu Yunrui hurriedly said. He was much stronger than those who pretended to be invisible!”
"I like what you said, Mr. Lu!" Sanger laughed. On this continent, our Dwarf Race has always been known for being forthright!”
While they were talking, a few dwarves led Li Qiang, Luca, and the elves who came with Lu Yunrui onto the platform.
Sang Ge quickly called everyone to sit down on the left side of the table, and intentionally or unintentionally arranged for Alice and Lu Yunrui to sit in the same seat.
Then, Sanger ordered a few dwarves to gather a group of clansmen and store a dozen jars of wine in the warehouse. He also left a jar of wine for each table and asked people to move the rest to the people below to enjoy.
Lu Yunrui took out a few bottles of fruit wine from her ring and asked the two robot guards standing behind her to send them to the ladies present. She also took out a bottle and personally filled Alice's glass.
"Too much alcohol is harmful to the body. You'd better drink less and take it easy!”Lu Yunrui warned Alice in a low voice.
Alice smiled and nodded.
"Everyone!" "Let's drink to the brim for Mr. Lu's arrival!" Sanger raised his cup and stood up.”
Everyone stood up one after another and raised their glasses to Lu Yunrui from afar. They raised their heads and drank to their hearts 'content.
After a while, Sanger raised his glass to Luca and Li Qiang."This time, the merchant group was attacked. Fortunately, Mr. Lu saved us and escaped from death. I feel lucky that your merchant group was able to escape from this disaster. Let us toast to the two of you. Firstly, to celebrate, and secondly, to calm your nerves!”
Everyone raised their cups and drank together.
"I wonder how big the losses were when the caravan was attacked this time? If you have any difficulties, just tell us. We will do our best to help solve them!”
Luca's face darkened and he didn't say anything.
Li Qiang sighed and said,""Thanks to the Silverstar Mercenary Group's full protection, the merchant group didn't suffer any damage. On the other hand, the Silverstar Mercenary Group lost a lot of men to protect us. Some of them were the backbone of the group. Qin City was located at the border and was a poor place. It was very difficult to recruit capable people. This way, the strength of the Silver Star Mercenary Group would be greatly reduced, which would be extremely disadvantageous to their future development. And these things couldn't be solved with money. Although Captain Luca didn't say anything, I knew that he was worried about this matter. Unfortunately, I'm just a businessman and not good at other things. I want to help, but I can't solve it. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Sang Ge frowned and stole a glance at Lu Yunrui. Seeing that Lu Yunrui was smiling at him, he couldn't help but lower his head and think hard.
After a while, Sanger looked up at Luca and said,""Captain Luca, how many men did you lose this time?”
Luca replied," Twenty-one died on the spot and sixteen were seriously injured. Among the heavily injured, there were another four who were severely injured, and it was unknown if they could survive.”
"How about this, I'll give you 100,000 gold coins as compensation for the deceased," Sanger said. Send 30 warriors of the fifth step and above to your mercenary group and 2 craftsmen to stay at your place. Do you think this will help you?”
Luca was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said,""This will be of great help to us! I really don't know what to say!"
Without waiting for Sang Ge to speak, Lu Yunrui laughed and said,""Luca, you don't have to say anything. We have a saying where we come from,'A great kindness cannot be thanked with words.' You don't have to express the great kindness of the Dwarf Race to you. Just keep it in your heart. When the Dwarf Race needs help, you can repay them with your sincerity!”
Luca stood up and bowed to Lu Yunrui.""I can't thank you enough for your kindness. Luca has been taught a lesson!”"Then I won't say more." Luca would remember the great kindness of the dwarves!”
With that, he sat down and the haze on his face disappeared.
