"Thorin huh…
You made a right choice to meet him…"
Rune nodded her head.
"He is one of the few Dwarves who have a connection to the Dwarven Continent." Amaya nodded.
"Not only does he have a connection with the Dwarven Continent, but the family hees from is also pretty influential as well. If you manage to make a deal with him, then you wouldn''t face any major problems in the Dwarven Continent. So he is a stable choice." Rune added.
Amaya nodded in understanding,
"So, is there anything I need to know before meeting him?"
She questioned.
"Hmmm, well Thorin is an easy-going man, and you are going with the Spirit Alcohol, so it shouldn''t be a problem.
Dwarves, in general, are a pretty easygoing race, they are proud and stubborn, and they love to talk about their creations, sometimes, they might even bore you to death but make sure you don''tin. Just listen to their bbering silently.
They are extremely loyal, so once you do manage to get into their good books and be their friends, they would never betray you.
They are also Hardworking, once they take on a project, they wouldplete it before the said time no matter what, and they would work without rest if they have to.
Dwarves are courageous, tenacious, and pretty blunt. They have a rough attitude, but honestly, they are good people.
They love money and alcohol, however, they work hard to get their hands on these things. They never cheat, betray, or hurt anyone.
Of course, there are always bad apples everywhere, however, Thorin and the other Dwarves working for him are not like that. They are simple-minded people who would like you if you go bring them alcohol and talk with them as they drink. Then if they see profit in the business you propose, they will definitely say yes.
Honestly, as I said before, the business you are going to offer them will definitely be profitable, Thorin may be hardheaded, however, even he isn''t foolish enough to not understand just how revolutionary your idea is. And with the Spirit Alcohol, you just cannot fail,
Unless of course, you make fun of their height.
But there is no way someone like you would do that, right?"
Rune questioned with a yful smile on her face.
"Of course."
Amaya nodded.
Dwarves were extremely sensitive about their height,
It was a well-known fact.
If you call them short or make fun of their height, there is no way they would ever talk to you with a straight face again.
You are as good as being banned foring to the said dwarf again.
Amaya, who was thorough by nature, obviously knew about this fact.
In fact, she had already created a list of words that she would absolutely not speak no matter what,
Words like,
Shorty
Midget
Stumpy
Shrimp
Tiny
Half-pint
Miniature
Fun-sized
Vertically challenged
pipsqueak,
shrimp,
Amaya had ced them all on her cklist.
"Mhm, I know you are a smart woman, you won''t make a stupid mistake like that. That is why I am so sure about this. You have all the right weapons, you just cannot fail.
When are you going to leave?"
Rune questioned.
"Tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow? That''s fast."
"I can''t waste much time here, we also need to start things on your side as well," Amaya replied.
Rune''s expression changed again.
Amaya, who realized her mistake wanted to facepalm herself, then just as she was about to try and change the topic again, <novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>
"Sister Amaya~
So we are leaving tomorrow morning? That''s great!"
Suddenly, Amaya heard a jolly voice.
"When did I say I am taking you with me?"
Amaya narrowed her eyes as she nced at Sk.
"Come on~ Aren''t I your cute sister? You are going on a trip, how can you not take me with you?
Won''t you miss me?"
Sk, who brought her face dangerously close to Amaya''s spoke with a seductive look on her face as she held Amaya''s chin.
Rune, who was seeing this scene couldn''t help but raise her eyebrow.
This scene… it was definitely… bold…
Amaya looked into Sk''s green eyes, and replied,
"Don''t copy Nux."
Sk moved away and pouted,
"I thought you would like it. You blush when he does it."
"He is he."
"Hehe~ That''s true, I wouldn''t want you doing this to me either. I understand why you would have that repulsed look on your face." Sk nodded to herself.
"Since you know, you can leave now."
"Sister Amaya~~
Please take me with you~"
Sk begged.
"Nux will be busy for the next few days and I haven''t even explored this continent yet, please take me with you, I promise I will be good."
Sk requested.
In the end, Amaya had no choice but to give in.
No matter what, resisting Sk was difficult. She was like a cute little sister to her.
Also,
''Her extroverted nature might help when they meet the dwarves.''
Amaya thought as she nced at Sk.
"Alright."
In the end, she gave in.
"Yay~ Sister Amaya! You are the best!"
Sk hugged Amaya with an excited look on her face.
"Yes yes, now you can leave now. Don''t bother me." Amaya shooed.
"Alright." Sk nodded, she then nced at Rune and,
"I will be taking my leave, Lady Rune."
"R-Right."
Rune nodded.
Sk walked out of the room.
"She is quite cheerful."
Runemented after Sk left.
Amaya just shook her head as she chuckled.
"Anyways, can you tell me a little more about Thorin and his family?"
"The Oakenshield Family? Well, they are…"
Rune started talking about Thorin and his Oakenshield Family.
She also talked about how things worked in the Dwarven Continent. Not only that, she even talked about how Amaya could extend her shop''s reach by opening branches at ideal ces.
The two talked for quite a while, Amaya learned everything she wanted to learn.
The next day, in the Morning,
Amaya, Sk, and Felberta sat on the carriage and left the ExceedoGenesis''s Base with 9 Great Sage guards protecting them in secret.
