Traveling to another world, I made a two-dimensional girl into a card

Dwarves are born with a bad relationship with the sky. They always have a kind of unfounded worry that gravity will disappear one day and everyone will fall into the bottomless sky. Therefore, dwarves prefer to live in mountainous and hilly terrains. It is also in those mountainous areas that dwarf cities are built in full swing.

Karak Rockhold, once one of the dwarves' indestructible fortresses, is world-famous for its rich mineral resources, unique forging technology and exquisite large-scale engineering machinery. It is said that this was once the place where the dwarf god appeared. Before the great changes, there was a huge flow of people here, a considerable number of whom were tourists from various countries. The prosperous scene and outstanding contributions made Rockhold the rightful capital of the dwarves.

But the good times did not last long. Due to the influence of the great changes, a large number of technologies in Rockhard were interrupted. The originally sophisticated infrastructure became shaky due to the technological gap. The dwarves were forced to abandon this prosperous city and chose to relocate their precious people. A large number of treasures that could not be easily transported were naturally buried in Rockhard under the bomb explosions set by the dwarves themselves, waiting to be discovered by future generations.

Such shame caused many engineers to leave their homes. Unable to remember their previous skills, they chose to embark on a path of pilgrimage and suicide. They shaved their hair, leaving a Mohawk hairstyle and fixed it with lard, becoming butchers among the dwarves.

When a dwarf feels that he has been subjected to unbearable insults, has brought shame to his family, or has done something intolerable, the dwarf will choose to become a butcher. However, unlike the settings in some games in Fang Qingyun's previous life, the dwarf becomes a butcher not just to pursue a glorious death in battle, but is more inclined to wash away the shame.

If an engineer voluntarily runs away to become a butcher because he cannot restore a certain alloy formula, he will set a deadline for himself. Before the deadline, he still has a chance to restore the alloy formula to wash away the shame, which is the so-called reserve butcher. Once the deadline is exceeded, he will change his hairstyle and voluntarily seek a glorious death in battle.

Since this deadline is set by themselves, theoretically, long-lived dwarves can find loopholes and delay the whole thing for a long time, and then seek death when they are old.

But in fact it is impossible. Dwarves are more like social animals than humans. They attach great importance to reputation, which is as important as their beards. Of course, for dwarf women, it is their braids. If a dwarf is insulted by others, he will vent his anger even at the cost of his life. The vengeful dwarf will record all the grievances he has suffered in the Book of Hatred, which will be passed down from generation to generation until the hatred is settled and erased.

Dwarves remember both grudges and favors. Some favors cannot be repaid in this lifetime, so they let their sons continue to repay the favor. If the benefactor dies, the object of repayment will be transferred to his descendants until the favor is repaid. This is the dwarf's view of right and wrong. They remember both favors and hatred very clearly.

Therefore, if a dwarf really did something that brought shame to the family, then the accusations of others would make it impossible for these dwarves to respond. Under such pressure, it is understandable that the dwarves would choose to become butchers.

The current leader of the Dwarf Kingdom is the High King. This title makes Fang Qingyun wonder if he also needs four guards to carry his wheelchair when he goes out. Currently, the High King is quite enthusiastic towards all tourists. Unlike the elves who look down on people from the bottom of their hearts but express courtesy in words, dwarves may like to show off and slander others, but they are definitely reliable brothers at critical moments.

Now after the great changes, Karak Rock Fort has become a special secret realm. Originally, Rock Fort had become a must-visit place for adventurers of all generations, but due to the influence of the secret realm, stepping into Karak Rock Fort has become an unimaginable adventure. Everyone may encounter creatures that do not exist in reality in this secret realm at any time, and may also find important treasures of the dwarves before the great changes.

There once was a knight in the Principality of Selshi named Renault. He sold his property in exchange for a large sum of money and became a great adventurer. He once discovered precious historical materials and golden statues before the great dwarf revolution in Karak Rock Fortress. He gave those things to the dwarves, and thus gained the friendship of the dwarf kingdom and a lot of money.

...Somehow, Fang Qingyun thought of an explorer with a slightly bearded western cowboy image, who was often accompanied by a dwarf, an elf and a murloc.

Sir Renault can use his identity to seek help at the official dwarf embassy and rest stops. All dwarves will regard Sir Renault as a true brother. If a brother is in trouble, the dwarves will surely help him.

Therefore, whether it is the extremely tempting treasure of the dwarves or the precious dwarf friendship after obtaining important dwarf historical materials and books, Karak Rock Fort is an important exploration site for explorers.

"So, Dean Merlin, have you been there?" Fang Qingyun asked his own question. Based on the dean's detailed description, Fang Qingyun roughly determined the situation of Karak Rock Fortress. The fall of Karak Rock Fortress was not due to external threats, but because it could not function. Therefore, even if you enter Karak Rock Fortress, the most dangers you will encounter are mechanisms, traps and dangerous terrain. But it would be better if the dean could provide more information.

"We have been there, and we took the three professors you met before with us." The dean's smile was a bit forced, and it seemed that he had suffered a loss: "The four of us were completely restrained by the secret realm. In the end, we only reached the outskirts of Karak Rock Fortress. We had to tear up the entry certificate and return when we could barely see the gate."

Fang Qingyun raised his eyebrows and was very interested in this. After all, he said that none of these four professors and deans were easy to deal with. Fang Qingyun alone was not sure whether he could win a tie, after all, there were too many means that had not been exposed. If Karak Rock Fortress could defeat the four professors' teams, then Fang Qingyun thought he needed to think about it carefully.

"In fact, this problem is not a problem for you, because what Karak Rock Fortress needs is not the strength of a single individual, but a capable and combat-ready army." Dean Merlin gave his opinion: "We are facing a kind of barbarians with green skin. They have extremely strong brute force, and their weapons are simple spiked sticks, kitchen knives and the like. No one can clear the endless green tide without taking a breath, not even us."

Why does this description sound so familiar? Fang Qingyun thought about it, and the first thing that came to his mind was the greenskins. After all, it is the greenskins who are at odds with the dwarves. This is a setting that has been engraved into the DNA of fantasy stories.

It is indeed not easy to clear the green tide without taking a breath, but as long as there is a bloodsucking affix and it is far away from the "hero" who can restore health, then this recovery ability will be reflected in the follower itself, just like Anapik before, Kikuchiyo was too far away from Fang Qingyun, so the recovery ability generated all acted on Kikuchiyo, restoring a lot of physical strength for her.

But the question is, how to make Kikuchiyo far away from him to the point where he can be self-sufficient? What if Fang Qingyun is surrounded without fighting power and relying on Kikuchiyo alone? Fang Qingyun is naturally aware of the number of greenskins. If he really wants to rely on his followers with blood-sucking ability to clear them step by step, it may not be as fast as the speed of the greenskins to replenish.

Unlike what many people imagine, the greenskins in Western fantasy do not need to capture women of other races to reproduce. They are more like a spore creature. When the greenskins are hurt or in their developmental stage, they will unconsciously release spores, and their corpses will also leave a large number of spores on the battlefield. Therefore, cleaning up the greenskins is not the end of the war, but the beginning of another war.

In spring, we plant a fart spirit, and in autumn, we harvest ten thousand green skins. The green skins cannot be killed, they will grow again in the spring breeze.

Therefore, it is understandable that the four professors could not get through. After all, mana is constantly being consumed. Facing the endless army of greenskins, it is not easy to fight a bloody path. But these are not a problem for Qingyun at all. He now has a large number of experimental weapons that need to be tested, and these greenskins can just become targets of his barbaric weapons.

"…Speaking of which, does Sir Renault have an entry permit? Why do I feel as if anyone can enter the secret realm?" Based on Merlin's description, Fang Qingyun had such a feeling.

"It is true that anyone can enter the secret realm, but if they encounter danger..." Dean Merlin said meaningfully: "Those with entry credentials can tear up the credentials and escape immediately, but those without them can either enter and exit from the same place, or break all the way to the innermost... So be careful after entering, maybe some people will have bad intentions towards the entry credentials in your hand. Those greedy people will do anything to survive."

It's human nature, not surprising. There are always people who will grab every avenue for advancement, but fail to recognize the limitations of their own abilities. Therefore, it is easy to imagine what they will do when they encounter danger. It is precisely because of this that Fang Qingyun is a little reluctant to participate in this expedition.

You said that he had originally intended to use this journey to the secret realm as an excuse for his acquisition of those red-quality cards, but if the Duke got involved and said that these cards were stolen by Fang Qingyun, how would Fang Qingyun respond?

"So what do you think?" Dean Meilin held the door frame next to him. The old man had been talking to Fang Qingyun at the door for a long time. He looked very energetic.

"Actually, I don't want to go, but the exemption is so tempting." Fang Qingyun joked. He had to go to this secret realm, whether it was to connect with the Dwarf Kingdom to create convenience in the future, or to get a legitimate excuse to take out a red quality card. These were reasons why he had to go.

Even if the Duke causes trouble, Fang Qingyun must find a way to fight back instead of avoiding risks by giving up opportunities.

Chapter 313: It's a dwarf... Please don't call me a dwarf, otherwise

"If you agree, I'll go back and handle the formalities for you now." Dean Merlin released his hand that was holding the door frame, and he didn't seem like a 200-year-old man. "You will probably have to take an airship to go to the Dwarf Kingdom. Although those dwarves don't like the sky, the engineers among them can make something like an airship. Although a considerable number of those dwarves would rather endure the bumpy ride of a carriage than take an airship."

...There are actually airships in this world? This was Fang Qingyun's first reaction.

The airship was actually invented by the dwarves? Didn't the dwarves already take the route of bio-cloning? Their technology is actually good enough?

According to Fang Qingyun's speculation, forcing the dwarves who were worried about falling into the sky to ride on an airship was undoubtedly a torture. The dwarves, who liked to keep their feet on the ground and have things above their heads, would probably be scared to death if they were on an airship where there was nothing below and nothing above.

"Then is there anyone going with me?" Fang Qingyun was quite curious. Apart from the genius Catherine, who else could go to this secret realm with him if Catherine disappeared?

"No... Even if they dare to go, I wouldn't dare give them the tickets." Merlin sighed. "There are quite a few students in the whole academy who are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even I don't know what cards they have. Maybe only their elders know. They will only be exposed when you encounter such a crisis. I dare not let them go before they reveal their cards. This is not an outing, but a secret adventure with the risk of death at any time."

"Well...is there anything else you want to tell me?" Fang Qingyun politely made an excuse, the subtext being that he was about to leave and could talk to him later if there was nothing else.

"That's true." Merlin nodded. He naturally understood what Fang Qingyun meant. He laughed and scolded, "You impatient young man, this is the experience of the older generation. Aren't you afraid of missing something and causing yourself to fall? Others want to hear it but have no way to do it, and you are trying to drive me out."

Fang Qingyun touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by such a straightforward revelation. He chuckled and said, "Time is money. Even young people should not waste time. I am just wondering if my army is sufficient and whether I need to gather more troops..."

This was actually a lie. He just wanted to take Kikuchiyo out for a stroll. Moreover, he was basically able to extract the style of the dwarves in this world from Dean Merlin's words. If we really talk about the understanding of dwarves, Fang Qingyun might know more about this aspect than Dean Merlin.

"Anyway, remember this." Merlin's face straightened. "Although dwarves sometimes say harsh words, they are all good people who keep their promises. In the past, young people especially liked to run to the elves, thinking that those elves with fancy words were good people, but in the end they were sold out and had to count the money for them. Only real old explorers know the good of dwarves."

To put it bluntly, the arrogance of the elves is engraved in their bones. They naturally regard humans as an inferior race, just like humans look at clever goblins. Therefore, although they say things like "Welcome to the distinguished guests" and other pleasant-sounding words out of courtesy, they will actually involuntarily exclude humans and regard humans as an inferior race from beginning to end.

Just like an elf waiter at a ball, who politely said to a human noble with impeccable etiquette, "You are our honored guest," and then ignored the noble when he needed help, because you are just a human noble, why do you talk to me, an elf? When the noble was so angry that he jumped up and down, the elf waiter returned to the noble and said, "Oh, sorry, I couldn't hear you just now."

This is the elf. Etiquette is all on the surface. He is a racist who knows small etiquette but no big principles.

Of course, you can't classify all elves into this category, because that would be racist, but there is no doubt that it would not hurt to be on guard against a polite elf who seems to want something from you.

It cannot be said that there are absolutely no elves who advocate racial equality, but it can be said that there are very few of them. Most of them are just people who are hypocritical. They just use the banner of racial equality to give a small amount of citizenship and preferential treatment to their favorite race. In the final analysis, it is still racial discrimination. Very few elves can truly treat everyone equally.

But dwarves are different. Dwarves' courtesy is expressed in their hearts rather than in their mouths. It's like the relationship between buddies. Would you choose to break up with your buddy just because he swore? Dwarves are generally such buddies. If humans have something to ask a dwarf, then the dwarf will let you bow your head regardless of whether they are familiar with you or not. Therefore, many young people think that they are being made difficult and leave in anger, but in fact, the dwarf is ready to help you.

Dwarves are actually a race that has a poor grasp of social distance. No matter if they are friends or not, they will say "Hey, can't you do it? Let me tell you, this has to be done by a master" when others ask them for something. However, because dwarves attach great importance to oaths, once they have agreed, they will never go back on their word. They are a race that keeps their promises, which is why Fang Qingyun particularly likes dwarves.

I like elves purely because I am attracted by their bodies, and I like dwarves because I like the way people get along with each other. A long-lived dwarf can outlive several generations of humans, and having a dwarf friend is really worth passing down for several generations.

As for the elves, forget it. They are not restricted by the dwarves' oath stone. If this matter is profitable, then the elves may take away all the assets in a proud manner, and then declare that they have suffered losses, put the blame on others and leave.

So why are the elves in this world Western elves? Why not the Japanese elves that fight back and forth against goblins? At least in some aspects, they are not so realistic.

"I am sure of this." Fang Qingyun smiled: "The dwarves are just a little tough on the outside, but in fact, the ones you can rely on in times of crisis are the dwarves."

"You must remember one thing, never get into conflict with the dwarves," Merlin warned. "The dwarves' verbal harassment has become a formality. They don't realize that it is an insult. If you think you are insulted and retort when the dwarves are harassing you, then you may be recorded in the dwarf's little notebook and no longer be welcomed in that dwarf settlement."

Dwarves are like this. You can't say they are completely hypocritical, but sometimes they tend to make a big deal out of small things. Their tempers are indeed as hard and stinky as stones. Conversations with dwarves must be cautious and empathetic, and not too confrontational. The best way to get along with dwarves is to praise them more, chat seriously and deal with things, and don't insult them or do anything similar.

It is not easy for dwarves to make a friend. It often takes them fifty years to confirm whether a person is worthy of friendship, but standing in the way of these fifty years is the all-important issue of oral habits.

After all, dwarves will keep a small notebook, which is the book of hatred. Hatred can only be offset by an equivalent amount of gold or blood. The gold value of the insult will be calculated by a special hatred accountant. Therefore, once you insult a dwarf, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it will cause losses to your own wallet. Moreover, once this happens, all previous friendships with the dwarf will be invalidated. It will not be so easy to become friends again, and you have to start from scratch.

This is also the reason why Merlin told Fang Qingyun not to conflict with the dwarves. Once a young man gets into conflict with the dwarves due to his impetuous behavior, he might be directly expelled from the country. Not to mention exploring, you will never be allowed to enter the dwarf kingdom again.

"Then when do we leave?" Fang Qingyun had already understood the dwarf's temper from Merlin's rambling narration. Although Merlin's narration was interesting and witty, it also greatly increased the narration time. He only gave some reminders, but he talked for nearly two hours. Fang Qingyun could hardly hold it any longer and had to quickly change the subject.

"If the formalities are completed, you will board the airship tonight. You should pack your luggage in the afternoon and stay in the dormitory and don't go out, so that we can contact you at that time. It is still uncertain whether the airship will be delayed. If we can't contact you, the next one will be half a month later," Merlin explained to Fang Qingyun.

"Okay..." Fang Qingyun clicked his tongue. He had originally planned to go shopping with Kikuchiyo, but now it seemed that the remaining time in the morning was only enough to go out for a big meal. But this so-called big meal might not be as good as what Ximi and Ju'er made, which made Fang Qingyun think about it carefully.

No matter what, you have to do what you promised. Fang Qingyun did not change his plan. He continued to hold Kikuchiyo's hand in front of Dean Meilin and asked Meilin with an attitude that there is only one truth: "That means the airship will not arrive before noon, right?"

"That's right," Dean Merlin nodded. "Although the airship may arrive earlier, the earliest it will arrive is this afternoon. As long as you are still in this dormitory at noon, a special student will come to inform you."

"Then we still have a few hours, let's go for a walk." Fang Qingyun took Kikuchiyo's hand and threw the rifle on his back into the hell space for storage. After all, who would carry a weapon when shopping?

Under Fang Qingyun's lead, Kikuchiyo also started running unconsciously. The two holding hands soon disappeared from Dean Meilin's sight: "Run forward - go!"

"You are really young." Dean Merlin helped Fang Qingyun close the door. The two young men didn't even lock the door when they went out on a date. They were just as reckless as Merlin was back then. "I want to see how you deal with the Shura Field when you encounter it... Don't follow Krasir's old path."

The reason why Krasir became what he is now and was used by the succubus to vent her anger was largely due to his failure to coordinate the Shura Field, which almost resulted in him being split into several pieces. This was something Merlin regretted but was powerless to undo. Now seeing Fang Qingyun running towards Krasir's footsteps, all he could do was pray for Fang Qingyun.

God knows whether he is praying that Fang Qingyun has a strong life or praying that he can hold on.

Chapter 314: Dwarven Airship

At twelve o'clock noon, Fang Qingyun, who had a spare key so he could return to the dormitory to change his dirty clothes, ended his tiring but eye-opening morning.

He and Kikuchiyo ran for several hours, touring the campus like kids out for fun. Kikuchiyo had never been here before, except for the last time when she helped act in a play, so she was not familiar with the school at all. Fang Qingyun was in a similar situation, wandering back and forth between the dormitory, cafeteria and classroom. This time, he could be regarded as a great adventure from the inside out.

Fang Qingyun and Kikuchiyo turned the market upside down. The market in the college was similar to the store in Fang Qingyun's previous university. There was nothing useful there. Most of them were emergency items and various foods. Can you believe that there were canned foods here? Although they were very expensive, the appearance of these things was also a reflection of productivity.

As for why the items sold in the stores are all emergency items... because there are no proper clothing stores here. Most of the items sold are small shops selling underwear, laundries and the like. After all, many nobles have basically no self-care ability. Fang Qingyun is also very ashamed. Although he can wash his own clothes, for now, his clothes are all washed by zombie maids, and they are separated and not washed together with Viola and others to avoid unhygienic conditions.

What's more, the academy does not allow ordinary maids or butlers to be brought in. Even if a noble comes in, he has to be alone. If he wants to be taken care of, he has to find cards with relevant skills and practice magic to summon maids to take care of himself. The butler who betrayed Catherine was an expert in this skill. Otherwise, Catherine would not have been betrayed so miserably and had no privacy at all.

If there is no dedicated maid in the deck, then for wealthy nobles, purchasing a bunch of underwear and throwing one away after taking a bath is an option. After all, they have a large family and are not short of money. If outerwear needs to be washed, it can be handed over to a dedicated laundry. A small number of nobles alone can support a large laundry industry.

As for the remaining useless shops, the items they sell are also very strange. There are card sleeves, which are the three-star card sleeves that Catherine and Fang Qingyun traded. However, the card sleeves here are not that high-end. The highest is only one star. It is no problem to summon a one-cost maid, and it is still a best-seller among the nobles. As for the rest, they are ordinary card sleeves, which are simply used to place cards and do not have any special functions.

There are also some sticker shops that sell decorations that are pasted on playing cards. They also sell some... more pornographic books and novels, which are very popular among aristocratic girls. After all, for aristocratic girls, their bodies are also a resource for gaming, so they don't play as lavishly as those aristocratic young masters. As for the aristocratic young masters, they don't need these pornographic books that the common people treasure so much. They can always go out of the academy and find a few people to have fun with.

As long as their chaotic behavior did not cause too much trouble, nobles would generally turn a blind eye to it. However, it was not ruled out that some people just liked to keep to themselves and attached great importance to loyalty. However, generally only those in high positions had such privileges.

Generally speaking, Fang Qingyun and Kikuchiyo didn't find a suitable clothing store after all their wanderings. However, they did get to know the local customs and practices. They saw the scene of "first strike the sword upon landing and kill the one you love" several times. Maybe it was because of the graduation season?

Moreover, this kind of drama often occurs between common people. They agree to work hard together, but the woman kicks the man away, intending to cross the class barrier through marriage. Or, after seeing the prosperity of big cities, they are completely deceived by the sweet words of corrupt aristocrats and think they can become the little princesses in the eyes of others.

But often in the end you can only see those deceived girls in certain restaurants. They have lost everything but still want to maintain the affluent life they had as girlfriends of aristocrats. Perhaps only God knows what kind of depravity they will eventually become.

Fortunately, the scenes in novels where a man is tempted by beauty and rapes a woman did not happen to Fang Qingyun, which made him feel relieved but unhappy as he wanted to play the pig and eat the tiger but was afraid of trouble.

When the nobles saw Fang Qingyun's face, they were polite, if not respectful. Many people came up to talk to him even though they didn't know him. The last time they fought with the gods, those who came back alive were either chosen by the gods or became powerful figures. Those who had some information channels at home naturally knew some secrets. No one thought Fang Qingyun was a soft persimmon.

Some people even planned to "save the beauty" by recruiting some hooligans to help Fang Qingyun and make friends with him, but Fang Qingyun saw through them all. After all, this is an academy, where do such hooligans come from? Before the noble could make a move, Kikuchiyo next to him showed his knife, and the murderous intent made the hooligans obediently move aside.

By twelve o'clock, the two had returned to the dormitory. They were sweating a lot from jogging and running all the way, but they were still full of energy. Fang Qingyun pulled his clothes to cool himself down. He sweated so much that his clothes stuck to his back. He even felt wet near his buttocks due to the intense exercise, so much so that his underwear stuck to his body, and the fixed corners turned over, looking very untidy.

Kikuchiyo returned to hell on the pretext of taking a bath. Fang Qingyun wanted to buy something for her, but she refused. Things like card holders were useless to Kikuchiyo, not to mention that she would not accept them. Simple clothes like hats were also rejected by Kikuchiyo. Finally, Fang Qingyun could only buy a beautiful flower that seemed to have the effect of warding off evil spirits.

The flower seller praised the flower to great heights. If it weren't for the fact that the decoration in his house was quite decent, and the flower was so beautiful. It was blue but looked extremely charming. Its appearance was simply the embodiment of romance in reality. Even a man like Fang Qingyun wanted to collect it. Otherwise, he would not have paid for it.

That flower cost Fang Qingyun about five years of living expenses, but it was not a big problem. The money he got from Catherine was still enough. What's more, Fang Qingyun didn't need to eat out now. If he didn't buy anything, he had no place to spend the money.

It is true that Kikuchiyo went back to hell to take a shower. Although she did not sweat much, her back was still soaked. The clothes she wore were not dark-colored, and once they were soaked, the color and style of her underwear could be vaguely seen from the back. In this situation, staying with Fang Qingyun was almost like playing a shame play.

On the other hand, she had to quickly put the flower away, whether it was to make it into a specimen through Hell's special processing techniques, or to put it into an amulet after drying it and give it to Fang Qingyun as a return gift, these were what she had to do immediately.

Although amulets are usually filled with images of gods and Buddhas for protection, it is okay to adapt to local customs and replace them with a flower that has the ability to ward off evil, right?

Although Fang Qingyun and Kikuchiyo had not considered that, when it comes to exorcising evil spirits, perhaps the undead can also be considered a kind of evil... But it doesn't matter. The flower doesn't have any special effects. Apart from its unusually attractive appearance, it is no different from an ordinary flower.

It took Kikuchiyo at least three hours to take a bath and subsequently process the flowers. She had barely finished preparing the amulet when the airship arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon. On the other side, Fang Qingyun took a bath with water elements, changed into clean clothes, and fell asleep in his bed.

Although he fell asleep, he was always aware of his surroundings. When Merlin walked to the door of his dormitory, Fang Qingyun was already awake. So when Merlin pushed the door in, Fang Qingyun had already smoothed out his messy clothes, changed his shoes, and regained his previous energetic appearance.

"Let's go, the airship is here." Merlin pulled Fang Qingyun and left. Fang Qingyun had already put his luggage into the hell space and carried it with him, so at this time he could follow Merlin with empty hands.

Merlin brought Fang Qingyun to where the airship landed. It was more of a temporary stop than a landing, because not many people got on, and it took a long time to restart the airship. Therefore, the airship did not dock completely, but remained stationary at a height of about ten meters from the ground. A device like an elevator was lowered from the middle of the airship to facilitate passengers to get on the airship.

The size of the airship was not as small as Fang Qingyun had imagined. Fang Qingyun originally thought that the so-called airship was similar to the Zeppelin airship during World War I, with only a small space for passengers. But he had never imagined that the metal bottom of the airship was about two hundred meters long just from the bottom, which was longer than some cruisers. If the balloon on top was counted, the entire airship would be so long that it would block out the sun. There was no other place in the entire academy that was flat enough for the airship to temporarily dock.

Fang Qingyun got on the simple elevator. The structure of the elevator was very simple, like a square box, but it was pulled by ropes on all four sides. The outside scene could be seen through the hollow walls, and only a brief acceleration effect could be felt during operation. After the elevator stopped, the door in front of Fang Qingyun slowly opened. Perhaps it was because the elevator was not operating in place, the elevator door was not completely aligned, and the elevator was shorter than the door opening, which formed a step of more than 20 centimeters between the elevator and the outside world, which he had to step over.

Then Fang Qingyun heard a loud voice: "Come up, young man!"

Along with the sound came an arm with thick hair and bulging muscles like a rock, but unlike a normal person's arm, that arm was shorter.

Fang Qingyun grabbed the hand and saw the first dwarf he had ever seen in this world. He was short but muscular, with a beard covering his upper lip like a kind father. Fang Qingyun nodded to the dwarf out of courtesy to express his gratitude and praised him: "Nice beard."

Chapter 315: Make friends?

"Ha." The dwarf used all his strength to pull Fang Qingyun up, squeezed a smile from his thick beard and said: "Thank you for the compliment from my human friend, your strength is not bad, but you should save this compliment for later, I am still just a little mustache."

The meaning of this statement coming from a dwarf is different from that coming from a human's mouth. The moustache mentioned by a dwarf refers to young men, because a dwarf's beard is never cut, and even if he is insulted, he will not shave it, but choose to shave his head. When a dwarf feels great sorrow and pain, they will chew their beard dry.

The age of a dwarf can basically be seen from his beard. Although this dwarf's beard looks quite thick, almost covering his mouth, compared with other people's beards that can hang down to the waist after being tied up, his beard is indeed short. He hasn't even started growing a beard, so how big can it be?

But don't regard dwarves as your peers just because they are modest. Dwarves' lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. Generally, a dwarf's lifespan is about three hundred years old. Fifty years old is considered a middle-aged age for humans, but it is considered a young age for dwarves. This is why it takes fifty years for humans and dwarves to become friends. How can a normal person want to be brothers without ten years of friendship?

As a result, when the dwarves think that this human can get along, that human should almost lie in bed and wait for death. Only some duelists can get along with the dwarves, such as Dean Merlin. He is 200 years old this year. Logically, he should be able to make a few dwarf friends.

While Fang Qingyun was observing the dwarf, the dwarf was also observing Fang Qingyun. Decades of experience in blacksmithing, lifting heavy objects and being an apprentice enabled the dwarf to weigh the weight of the goods as soon as he got his hands on them. People were no exception, except that what he weighed was the muscle content, that is, the density.

Fang Qingyun's body is the type that looks thin when dressed, but muscular when undressed. Although his arms and calves exposed when he is dressed are not thick, the muscles with explosive power hidden under the skin cannot be hidden. This is the first time that the dwarf feels that if he meets Fang Qingyun in the dwarf slapping competition, he might lose.

Don't underestimate the power of dwarves. There are always people who look down on dwarves because they are short, and some even think they can knock dwarves to the ground with one kick. But in fact, a fully armed dwarf with a weapon weighs 200 kilograms. Their muscle content is enough to knock out a person's teeth with a slap. Standing there is like a low wall that cannot be crossed head-on. You can't even use a low wall to insult them. When they are in battle formation, they are like a row of solid Great Walls made of concrete piers.

"No matter what, I have to thank you for your help." Fang Qingyun shook hands with the dwarf. He did not bend down deliberately because these dwarfs were not as short as he imagined. Although compared with him who was 1.8 meters tall, the dwarfs with an average height of 1.2 meters were indeed just tiny guys, but if you bend down to show respect, the dwarfs will only break your knees.

Although they don't care about height, if you deliberately bend down, it means you are discriminating against them based on your height, and the dwarves who are willing to retaliate will remember that.

"Then...Dwarf brother, could you please show me the way?" Fang Qingyun took out his "ticket" from the envelope Merlin gave him and showed it in front of the dwarf: "I don't know where my room is. Could you please take me there, or show me the way?"

Fang Qingyun has always been polite to strangers. Unless the other party speaks rudely first, he will always maintain respect for knowledge, elders and other races.
