"Of course, I brought the food with me."
Tang En shook the ring on his finger and said indifferently, "I'm a mage, a very powerful one. Have you forgotten?"
Barod recalled how Tang En destroyed the magical beasts he had raised with a wave of his hand. His expression turned even uglier.
Those magical beasts were carefully cultivated and tamed by them over the years. Every single one of them was carefully selected and cultivated for the Devil Abyss competition. Their value was immeasurable. However, such precious magical beasts were completely destroyed by Twain with a raise of his hand.
Tang En was a powerful spellcaster. Barod knew this very well. What Tang En said was true. He did have the ability to destroy the entire Underground Dwarven Kingdom. However, if they really wanted to fight to the death, the Underground Dwarves had trump cards in their hands.
"So it's spatial equipment. Hmph, no wonder you entered the Underground World so fearlessly."
Barod snorted coldly. He also had spatial equipment. When they entered the Underground World, spatial equipment was not as rare as it was now.
"Come in … I've prepared a meal for you."
After confirming that Tang En did not intend to rob them, Barod reluctantly accepted them.
Before turning around, Barod stared at Brian for a long time. Then, he spat and said disdainfully, "As a Dwarf, mixing with humans is simply a disgrace to the Dwarves!"
"What did you say!?"
Brian immediately flew into a rage. He picked up his war hammer and was about to smash it. "Do you believe that I won't smash you flat and throw you to the Lava Lizards as food? Big brother, back me up!"
"That's enough." Tang En angrily pulled Brian back. "You're no match for him."
"I know — but I can't lose my momentum!"
Brian said confidently. "Besides, don't I have you? I don't think he dares to make a move."
Tang En and Fiona immediately looked at Brian in a new light. This guy's IQ was not that low.
"This war hammer …"
Barod's line of sight suddenly stopped at the warhammer in Brian's hand. With a wave of his hand, an invisible Mana snatched the warhammer from Brian's hand and sent it flying towards Barod.
"Hahahaha, you want to steal my warhammer?"
Brian crossed his arms and laughed wildly. "This is the most precious treasure of us mountain dwarves. Not just anyone can get their hands on it."
"Brian."
Tang En shouted with a strange look in his eyes.
"Hmph, I can call Warhammer back with just a call."
"Brian."
Fiona couldn't help but exclaim, "Your warhammer was really stolen!"
"That's impossible, I —"
The smile on Brian's face froze. Not far away, Barod was holding Brian's warhammer and swinging it around with ease. His warhammer seemed to be even more proficient than Brian.
"How is this possible!"
Brian panicked. He stretched out his hand and shouted, "Come back!"
The warhammer in Barod's hand shook, but it didn't fly out. It was as if it had accepted its fate.
For a moment, the atmosphere around them became very strange.
"The Undying Warhammer of the Mountain King …"
Baruo muttered to himself. His words were filled with emotion.
Tang En suddenly realized that the Undying Warhammer of the Mountain King was limited by the bloodline of the dwarves, but it didn't say whether it belonged to the mountain dwarves or the subterranean dwarves. Barod was the king of the subterranean dwarves, so of course he had the bloodline of the dwarves.
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Brian was so proud of himself, but now he was dumbfounded. The treasure he relied on for a living had been stolen, and as the former king of the dwarves, he had lost the symbol of his race. It would be strange if he didn't get beaten half to death by Eibron and Durandon when he returned.
Brian seemed to have understood as well. He hurriedly looked at Tang En, "Brother! Give me a hand! "
Twain nodded and turned to Barrod. "Sir, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to do this."
Barod laughed, "I'm also a member of the dwarven royal family. Of course I have the right to use this weapon. Why would it be inappropriate?"
"But its name is the Undying Warhammer of the King of the Mountains." Twain spread his hands. "It's not the Undying Warhammer of the King of the Underworld. So, it's obvious that this warhammer wasn't prepared for you … So, Your Excellency, please return it. Don't let your greed affect our relationship. I don't want to fight, so don't force me."
"Hmph!"
Barod snorted and threw the warhammer back to Brian, "What a fool. You don't even know how to use this warhammer. It's a disgrace to have it in your hands!"
After the warhammer was returned to Brian's hand, it trembled and tried to return to Barod's side. Brian was furious, "You traitorous bastard! I've been feeding you, polishing you, waxing you, and oiling you every day. How dare you betray me! When we get back, I'll lock you in the dwarven treasury and let you continue to eat dust! "
All of a sudden, the Undying War Hammer trembled violently. Then, it quieted down.
"Little guy, you want to fight with me? I'll play you to death! "
Brian whistled and became complacent again.
Everyone, "…"
To be able to compete with a weapon and almost lose, there was really no one else like him.
"Don't be so proud!"
Brian growled at Barod, "You said that it's a disgrace for me to mix with humans. I'll bet you in the name of my beard that in an hour — no, in half an hour, you'll join my big brother's camp like me. Huh? Ha! You can't even protect your own beard. You're the disgrace of dwarves! "
Barod's face suddenly became very ugly. A piece of his fiery-red beard was missing. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to see it.
However, it was obvious to the dwarves.
It was accidentally torn off in a battle a while ago.
Brian was still nagging at the side with a mocking face, especially deliberately showing off his well-groomed and well-groomed beard.
Barod growled at Tang En, "Make that idiot shut up! Otherwise, I'll burn his beard! "
Tang En didn't need to open his mouth. Brian immediately shut up.
After the farce, everyone finally entered the so-called banquet hall. It was a simple and crude room. A stone table was placed in the middle of the square hall made of stone slabs. On the table, there was a sumptuous meal that Baruo had ordered the kitchen to prepare.
Barod sat down and said very unhappily, "This is the food prepared to welcome you. Even I don't have the qualifications to enjoy these things. You should feel honored."
"These …"
Brian glanced at the food on the table and was about to ridicule, but Tang En was one step ahead and covered his mouth.
Tang En smiled and said, "We are honored."
After that, he said to Brian seriously, "Don't look at the quality and value of the things that others use to entertain you. Look at how important these things are to that person. If what he said is true, then we should feel honored."
The food in the underground world was so scarce that he was full of suspicion and vigilance toward the surface world. However, he still prepared a table of food. This was a very rare thing.
Brian grumbled and gave up the urge to ridicule Barod.
"Elijah, you also have to learn to put yourself in other people's shoes. Don't always be willful, okay?"
Tang En also taught Elijah a lesson. Recently, Elijah had shown signs of being spoiled by him.
"Okay."
Elijah nodded obediently. She was willing to listen to whatever Tang En said.
Before Tang En spoiled her, Elsa and Clairat were usually taken care of by this little girl. She was originally a very obedient child, but because she didn't get the love of her parents before, after meeting Tang En who treated her so well, she poured all her feelings into Tang En.
This also led to Tang En spoiling her more and more, and she became more and more fond of acting coquettishly.
Fiona and Vanilla sighed again. It was impossible for ordinary people to put themselves in the other party's shoes and think in their shoes.
Ordinary people only thought about how to plunder and how to gain more benefits for themselves. Why would they care about how much others lost?
If other people were greedy and selfish in the big picture, then a person who thought about others would be the one who suffered the most in this environment.
Fortunately, Tang En was not weak. He had a strong enough fist, so he could set the rules and make Ellington's people accept his ideas and accept his subtle transformation.
After everyone took their seats, they stared at the things on the table in silence.
The most eye-catching thing was the huge mushrooms on a large plate. They were the same ones they saw in the mushroom forest cave. The mushrooms had obviously been roasted with hot stones and were carefully cut. Some minced meat was stuffed inside, and some spices were sprinkled on the surface. In the underground world, spices were probably even more precious.
Fiona asked subconsciously, "What kind of meat is this?"
"Lizard meat."
Barod calmly grabbed a piece of mushroom lizard meat pie and placed it on the plate in front of him. Then, he introduced the other dishes, "From left to right, there's red rock lizard meat, roasted lizard eyes, moss-coated vegetables, roasted eyeless cartilaginous fish, dwarf chowder soup, smoked roasted stone moss, * * * beetle, mixed earth dragon …"
After listening to Barod's introduction, even Tang En, who was born in the Foodie Empire, could not remain calm.
The first few dishes were still okay, but what the hell were those at the back!?
* * * beetle!?
Mixed earth dragon!?
Damn, are these things really edible!?
Even if Bear Grylls came, he would have to kneel!
"My Lord …"
Fiona, Elsa, and Elijah all looked at Tang En with pale faces. Even Vanilla could not remain calm. Their eyes were full of pleading, "Put yourself in his shoes … Please forgive us for not being able to do it!"
I can't do it either!
