The dwarves want to spend a night in their bloody manor?

Just as Gu Xiaoheng was thinking about it, a notification sound from the system taskbar sounded in his ears.

[You have activated a green prompt: If you agree to the dwarves' request to stay overnight, you will receive a reward of 1,000 experience points]

[Please don’t feel that you are at a disadvantage, maybe your generosity as the owner of the manor will win you the friendship of this group of dwarves—and the friendship of an orthodox heir of the Turin dwarfs!]

If you agree to the dwarves' request to stay overnight, you will be rewarded with 1,000 experience points?

How can this be considered a loss? It’s just free money.

Such a simple and easy-to-achieve pie-in-the-sky good thing, he is eager to have more!

Facing the dwarves' gazes that were mixed with curiosity and exploration, Gu Xiaoheng smiled slightly and waved in welcome:

"With great pleasure, everyone, welcome to my manor!"

.....

Gu Xiaoheng enthusiastically led a group of dwarves to the restaurant in the main building of the manor. With a wave of his hand, Gu Xiaoheng used the magical authority of the manor owner to conjure up a table of steaming food and sweet and fragrant wine in front of the dwarves.

.

"Honor Turin (one of the ancestral gods of the dwarves)! You can actually do tricks!" Seeing how magical Gu Xiaoheng was when he showed his skills for the first time, the dwarves straightened their beards in surprise.

Not sure why Gu Xiaoheng entertained this group of strangers who came to the door so warmly, Maeve and Geralt sat at the corner of the table, drinking juice and beer in silence, silently.

Facts have proved that the 1,000 experience points reward for this hospitality mission is not as easy to earn as Gu Xiaoheng imagined. The dwarves' appetite and interest in drinking are even more exaggerated than he expected.

Charcoal grilled chicken, grilled quail, pan-fried lamb chops... blue cheese, fennel cake, it seems that they have traveled a lot during the day, so the hungry dwarves did not reject them all and devoured them all.

.

Their good appetite is not only reflected in their unlimited recipes, but also in their huge appetite for juice, tea and even beer.

The one or two liter beer barrel was almost empty, filled, and empty again. It was repeated so many times that even Gu Xiaoheng himself, who used magic to conjure food and wine, almost lost count.

After eating and drinking like a carnival, the drunken dwarves finally started chatting, and the conversation partner was naturally the owner of the manor - the kind man Gu Xiaoheng who invited them to eat and drink.

"Thank you for your generosity, kind Mr. Eternity! May Turin bless you forever!"

"Mr. Eternal, we have nothing to repay you, but maybe you can accept this forest squirrel we hunted on the road. The squirrel meat tastes pretty good!"

Hearing the thanks from the dwarves, Gu Xiaoheng helplessly held his forehead and replied: "Well, in fact, this squirrel is a sentinel under my command to warn those who try to invade the manor."

"Ah? This squirrel actually belongs to you! Kind-hearted Mr. Eternal, this is really embarrassing." Many dwarves showed hesitant expressions like children who had done something wrong and were caught by their parents.

"It's okay, it's just a squirrel... you can use it as a food reserve!" Since the dead squirrel was of no great use to him, Gu Xiaoheng simply gave it to this group of dwarves who looked a little depressed as a favor.

As everyone knows, his generous move aroused the interest of the leader of this group of dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield, and he asked with great interest:

"So Mr. Eternal, you are a reclusive mage who can control animal magic?"

Hearing this novel topic, many of the dozen dwarves in the restaurant put down their wine glasses and looked at Gu Xiaoheng with curiosity and curiosity in their eyes.

To Geralt and Maeve's surprise, Gu Xiaoheng actually said the truth with great honesty: "No, on the contrary, I am a swordsman who has mastered the cursed sword of the undead..."

Poof - "Ahem" It was vaguely visible that several drunken dwarves choked on their drinks in shock when they heard Gu Xiaoheng's self-destruction of a suspected "Necromancer" identity.

"Also a demon hunter." Gu Xiaoheng then added.

Hearing the huge contrast between a demon hunter who has always been responsible for "hunting demons" and one who "masters the cursed sword of the undead", the dwarves were a little undecided for a while, which made them instinctively seek their leader

Thorin Oakenshield's opinion.

Even though he became the focus of the whole room, Thorin still picked up the wine glass unhurriedly, took a sip of the ale, and then slowly expressed his judgment, or his opinion as a leader: "

Thank you for your honesty, friend! Cheers to our hospitable owner of the manor, Mr. Witcher!!"

"Cheers!!!" Hearing that the leader chose to believe in Gu Xiaoheng's decision, the dwarves raised their glasses to express their most sincere gratitude to Gu Xiaoheng. For a while, the restaurant was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

While the guests were drinking and enjoying themselves, Geralt, who had been sitting in the corner at the end of the table, asked the dwarves his doubts: "Where are you going? I think you must have been there during the day.

It’s a long way.”

Bombur, the most greedy of food and wine among Thorin's dwarf team, a fat dwarf whose belly almost reached his double chin, blurted out without thinking: "Char, the potential new member of our team, the Snitch, lives there.

!”

Snitch?

"Bumbo, go eat your food!" Unexpectedly, as soon as this greedy dwarf, who was outspoken and didn't know what lying was, opened his mouth, he was condemned by his companions in unison. It seemed that the dwarves were all surprised by Bombo's casual words.

This was because their trip needed to be kept secret.

Seeing the anxious expressions and movements of the dwarves, Geralt discovered this and immediately stopped trying to find out the root cause. He quietly drank the wheat beer in the cup again.

Only the innocent Maeve on the side, as if she hadn't understood the situation yet, was showing off to the dwarves the extraordinary achievement of her family's elder "Gu Xiaoheng" being canonized by Duke Stark and becoming Baron of the Shire.

"Oh, it turns out you are also going to the Shire. What a coincidence! My lord has just been conferred the title of Baron of the Shire by Duke Stark himself. Tomorrow we are also going to the Shire to inspect the situation there.

Maybe we can go to the Shire together!"

"Baron Shire? Isn't that the land of the Hobbits? When did the Duke of the North of the Cintra Kingdom return to human control and canonization?" The upright Bomber slapped his head in confusion.

"Hey, Bombur, it's time to update the family history book your parents used to teach you! As early as hundreds of years ago, the Orcs invaded the Shire, and when the hobbits there asked for help from humans, the Shire based it on

The covenant automatically belongs to the Kingdom of Cintra. My cousin, you are so ignorant..." Bombur's other cousin Bofur sighed like a scumbag.

crackling——

Accompanied by the loud friction sound of tables and chairs being pushed back, Thorin, the leader of the dwarves, stood up and made a concluding speech for this hard-won dinner: "It's getting late, everyone should

Rest! As for Mr. Eternal, if you are willing tomorrow, let’s go to the Shire together so that we can take care of each other.”

Facing this descendant of the Dwarf King with legendary bloodline, Gu Xiaoheng accepted the request as usual. "This couldn't be better, Your Excellency Thorin."

After everyone had eaten and drank, everyone got up and left, going back to their rooms to rest.

Unlike the dwarves who were noisy and in small groups on the way back to the room, the Gu Xiaoheng trio walked side by side and no one spoke.

This rare silence was not broken until Geralt came to the guest room that belonged to him.

In the darkness, Geralt's golden eyes looked at Gu Xiaoheng calmly, and then said: "Eternal, my brother, you do believe in these dwarves! Can you tell me why? You can't really hit it off with them!"

"

Faced with Geralt's doubts, Gu Xiaoheng's answer was simple.

"Believe me Geralt, right now they seem to have little reputation and are even in decline. But in the foreseeable future, their team will create an unsurpassed legend!"

Legend...? Thinking about Gu Xiaoheng's words, Geralt nodded, seeming to understand something from it.

In the darkness, Gu Xiaoheng's taskbar interface, which only he could see, was shining with a bright golden light.

Just now, he had successfully activated the legendary mission related to Thorin and his group of dwarves by talking to the dwarves!
