Chapter 331 Silvermine Family (4)
After the butler came back, he was also allowed to join in the tasting.
It was clear that the Silvermine Family was different from the human nobles.
They didn't care about status and treated their employees with respect. At the same time, one could see the close bond between them.
It was clear that they were a kind and gentle family, one that was worth befriending.
Unlike those human nobles that only cared about their own benefits…though it could be considered hypocritical since I was also a noble.
But then again, there were also other examples of nobles that weren't like this.
Take the duke's family for example…
So it was more of a case of different people having different situations.
Reflect, I really should reflect.
After they had finished tasting the wine, they asked me how much more of it I had. With the way that their eyes sparkled, it was clear that they were very happy with the tasting.
Since that was the case, I didn't hold back in telling them how much we had prepared.
"Ten barrels?" Ivan said in a shocked voice.
He had thought that just one or two barrel would be good, but ten barrels…that would be enough to last them a while.
It was Nisa who then stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
I couldn't help revealing a wry smile when I heard this.
In the tasting just now, she had been the one that had drank the most. She had finished off half of the alcohol all by herself.
None of them dared to compete with her which further proved that she was in control of this family.
But seeing a little girl drink like this…it really felt illegal.
I wished that I was able to send a few more knives to that b*stard designer…I just hoped that my brothers from my past life would continue the good work.
So our group stood up and followed Nisa out.
As we headed out, Rondo complained to Ivar, "If it wasn't for the damn laws, I would have gotten them to bring more."
Ivar just revealed an awkward smile when he heard this.
While Rondo didn't have any official positions and could say things like this, it was different for Ivar who was the family head.
Not to mention, the nobility of the Dwarven Kingdom worked differently.
Instead of rewarding land based on battle prowess, land was rewarded based on forging skills. Ivar as the current head of the family had very amazing forging skills.
Even the king was decided by forging skills, so the current Dwarven King was the best blacksmith in the kingdom.
As such, since they were all highly skilled craftsmen, they got along quite well.
The current most powerful lords in the Dwarven Kingdom were all brothers with the Dwarven King.
In that position, it was hard for Ivar to question the laws of their king.
Though there was a small part of him that did agree with him.
He still said, "Hush, that law is for the protection of us dwarves."
Rondo gave a sigh hearing this, but he didn't say anything else.
When they came out, the guards were caught off guard at first before bowing to them to show their respect. Though based on the direction that they were bowing in, it was clearly directed at Nisa.
Once again…seeing all of these dwarves who looked like gruff old men bowing to a little girl…really seemed strange.
As for my group, they had no idea what was happening. They just knew that someone important was coming, so they gave a bow as well.
Nisa just ignored them and walked over to the humans.
The guards wanted to stop her or at least protect her, but Ivar came out to stop them. He just simply waved his hand for them to back down before turning back to watch Nisa. After walking over, Nisa started going over the carriages before turning back.
She looked at me and asked, "Where's the rest of the alcohol?"
I revealed a bitter smile before turning to look at Haley.
She looked at me for a moment before slowly understanding what was happening.
Once it clicked, she stood up and walked over to one of the carriages. She pulled back the back cover of this carriage and revealed the barrels inside.
With a smile, she said to Nisa, "The product is over here."
Nisa turned to look at Haley with narrowed eyes, which Haley didn't flinch in front of at all. Haley just calmly looked back at her with the same smile on her face.
Nisa was like this for a bit before giving an approving nod. She also revealed a smile and said, "It seems like you're the one I need to talk to. Then let's discuss the price."
Haley gave a gesture towards the carriage with the barrel before looking at her staff. When they saw this gaze fall on them, they quickly moved to help lift the barrels out of the carriage.
As for Nisa and Haley, the two of them just stood right beside the carriage while discussing something.
It was clear that they were discussing the price of the alcohol.
Seeing this, Ivar turned to look at me with a sympathetic look that kind of hurt.
It was as if he misunderstood something…
It was as if he thought that I was in the same situation as him.
I admit that sometimes I let them take the lead, but that didn't mean that I was like him.
I just respected their independence…
And even if I was a bit whipped, that didn't mean that I was as bad as him. It was clear how the power dynamic went between the two of them.
So no, I really couldn't accept this sympathetic look.
Please stop looking at me like this Ivar, your gaze really hurts…
But with Haley taking care of this matter, it didn't take long before the guards started carrying the barrels out of the carriage and into the manor.
As they were doing it, they too couldn't help lick their lips.
Dwarves and alcohol really was a combination that couldn't be separated.
