Chapter 338 Mithril mines (2)
They both saw the looks of shock that they were receiving before revealing bitter smiles.
Varric was the one that said first, "We don't look alike at all, right? I'm the more handsome one."
Ivar gave a snort before saying, "And yet you're still single."
Varric just calmly said, "I have more important things to do, like my job. I live for my job, so I don't have time to start a family."
Ivar gave a sigh when he heard this before saying, "When are you going to grow up? Mother and father are both worried about you not having anyone at your age. You should know that you can't keep this up anymore. In fact, I actually have a few marriage proposals for you here."
Varric's face twisted before he said while shaking his head, "I'm good, I don't need any of those. You can just throw it away."
Ivar shook his head as he said, "You can't just run away from them forever. How about you just take a look?"
Varric's face turned uglier as he said, "You really don't find anything wrong with them?"
Ivar raised a brow in confusion, but he didn't say anything.
Varric then said with a sigh, "They all look like human children, don't you find that disturbing? It's strange how everyone's just ok with it, but it feels wrong to me."
Everyone was surprised by what Varric said, but me especially.
It almost seemed like his experience was similar to mine…
Could it be that he was also…
But if he was, then what did that mean?
Still, the chance that there was another reincarnator was something that I couldn't give up.
If he was one, then he could be a very important ally in the future.
So while they were talking, I came forward and said, "If you think that's bad, then you should see the Lost Dominion."
In a way, this was my way of being cryptic.
That was because this was a line that anyone from my old world wouldn't be able to ignore.
After all, that was the name of the game this world was based on.
Varric and Ivar both revealed confused looks when they heard this which I couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed by.
In the end, it turned out that Varric wasn't a reincarnator like me.
He was just nothing more than an anomaly that found his own situation strange.
To put it in simple words, he was just a dwarf that had a different taste than everyone else.
So I couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed in this, but there were other things to take care of.
After they had finished discussing this, they turned back to Shaka to see what he was going to say.
Shaka gave a sigh before saying, "It's possible for us to get some, but that depends on what you're willing to offer."
When he heard this, Varric's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Varric turned to Ivar and said, "Big brother, this is our chance. If we can get those things from the humans, it'll be much easier for us to mine 'that' out."
Ivar gave a sigh before asking. "What are you looking for?"
Shaka just gave a nod and said, "Mithril."
Ivar couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, but he shook his head before saying, "Unfortunately, we cannot give you any more mithril. Is there anything else that you will take?"
Shaka looked like he had to think about it for a bit before suddenly saying, "Gold, silver, and iron."
Ivar couldn't help being taken aback again when he heard this.
He slowly asked, "Are you sure?"
Shaka gave a firm nod in response to this.
Ivar looked at him with a complicated look before saying, "Thank you."
Shaka didn't say anything in response to this.
I couldn't help pulling Shaka aside to question him about this after he had made a deal.
As soon as we went to the side, I suddenly asked, "Are you sure that you can promise something like this? Didn't you say that it was a special thing that even the country couldn't get much of? How are you planning on getting this?"
Shaka revealed a smile as he said, "Who do you think is backing you? As long as that person gets involved, it isn't a problem to get those Blast Crystals that they want."
The one backing us?
Oh, right, there was the king behind us involved in this deal.
If the king was involved, then it would be no problem for us to get these Blast Crystals.
But would just these ores be enough to move the king?
Seeing the look on my face, Shaka could guess what I was thinking, so he said, "You'd be surprised by the situation of our country. The lack of ore is appalling and the equipment of the army is worse than you'd think."
I couldn't help revealing a worried look when I heard this.
If that was the case, weren't we in danger of being invaded by the surrounding countries.
Seeing the look on my face, Shaka could once again guess what I was thinking.
He said with a sigh, "For now, we have a stalemate with the surrounding countries and they don't dare invade us. It's mainly the work of our Shadow Garden organization that has kept them at bay."
I felt a bit confused after hearing this.
After all, in the future in the game, the Shadow Garden organization was doomed to be destroyed, but there weren't any invasions.
In fact, one of the main quest lines even involved getting with the princess and ruling over the kingdom, though they didn't show what happened after that ending.
So could it be that the ending was darker than I thought.
There were many questions that filled my mind, but I shook those questions out as I said, "Alright, since you're certain that it'll work, I'll leave it to you."
Shaka just gave a firm nod when he heard this.
