Chapter 347: Surrounded! |
"Oh, where are you taking us?" I asked as I sat down. Diablo poured me a cup of tea for me, Adel, and Sophie.
"To the secret trade district. Only those in the know, know about this place and it is where all the top craftsmen of the kingdom reside. If we can snatch a few of them, we can surely reengineer everything you have in those hangers, including that big guy." Thurul answered. He seemed highly excited about this. It looks like the prior day's events did not have too much of an effect on him, or he was just really good at hiding his emotions.
"I guess for high quality craftsmen, it will also cost quite a bit of money as well." I would be happy to get top notch craftsmen, but if they asked for extraordinary prices, it would not work out well. While quality over quantity was the normal way to go, I still needed to hire many people to build these things as well. All of which would cost a good deal of money.
"Lass, you are misunderstanding something about us dwarves. Those who love their trade will never be swayed by money. Only those things that truly interest them will they be moved enough to want to see things through to the end. These masters are the same way. And I know these things will light a spark of interest in them." Thurul explained.
His words helped extinguish some of my worries but not all. I mean, if I go in there and they all reject me, I will have to try other dwarves, but if word gets out that I was already rejected then what? How many would be willing to work for someone who was rejected by the masters? I can only hope things will go over smoothly.
