nAlthough the illustration described that Gold-Digging Dwarves liked good food, what if it didn’t suit their appetite?

nDifferent regions of a country would have different tastes.

nSome would not like it if it was spicy, while others would like it to be light and plain.

nThe real world and the catacombs world were needless to say.

nJust because Little Fox liked to eat roasted meat didn’t mean that Gold-Digging Dwarves also liked it.

nThe barbecued meat was quickly prepared.

nHe sprinkled the seasoning bottle and the air was fragrant.

nKlein put away the barbecued meat and walked out of the runic base.

nShoo!

nThe runic base emitted a burst of light and disappeared on the spot.

nKlein carried the shovel and walked towards an earthen wall.

nOn the other side.

nCharles and company were constantly paying attention to Klein.

nWhen they saw Klein walk out of the castle, they first stood nervously near the entrance of the passageway. If Klein were to attack them, they could quickly drill a hole and leave.

nIt wasn’t a coincidence that the three of them chose to dig this mud wall.

nWith his rich investigative experience, Charles could easily deduce from some footprints that Klein had come out from this place.

nTherefore, if Klein had any ill intentions and wanted to attack them, they could leave from this place, but Klein wouldn’t be able to catch up.

nFurthermore, the next catacombs was absolutely safe.

nSuddenly, a ball of light exploded from the ancient castle.

nFollowing that, it turned into beams of light that landed on Klein’s body.

nThe ancient castle disappeared on the spot!

n“This is…”

n“Runic base!”

nThe three of them were dumbfounded.

nPreviously, the three of them had suspected that Klein was lying and firmly believed that it was a special building in the catacombs.

nAt this moment, seeing the familiar way of disappearing, the three of them were suddenly enlightened.

nThe ancient castle was Klein’s runic base!

n“Holy **, why is his runic base different from ours?”

n“Has it been repaired?”

n“That’s not right. I never saw someone in the chat channel saying that the runic base would turn into a castle after being repaired.”

nThe three of them looked at Klein in a daze.

n“Look, there’s a fox beside him. Is it a tamed pet?”

n“Oh? That seems to be the case! Can crypt creatures be tamed? We can try it in the future.”

nThey noticed the little fox again.

nOverall, Klein was too mysterious.

nThe three of them wanted to thicken their skin and ask, but they were afraid that Klein would do something to them. They watched helplessly as Klein dug a tunnel and disappeared from their sight.

nKacha! Kacha! Kacha!

nKlein stopped after digging for more than three meters.

nHe turned his head and asked, “Little Fox, did they come over?”

nLittle Fox was squatting at the entrance of the cave. She secretly peeked out half of her head and peered at the three people not far away.

n“Wu, wu!”

nKlein received a response.

nCalling twice meant no, and calling once meant yes.

n“Alright, it looks like they really don’t have any thoughts.”

nKlein shook his head and focused on digging.

nHe had already thought it through. If the three uninvited guests came, it meant that they had evil intentions.

nIt was a good time to make a move.

nThey could block him in the narrow passageway.

nSoon, the passageway was dug open.

nKlein put away his shovel and didn’t even take out his weapon. He instructed Little Fox to not show any hostility after entering.

nHe stepped in and Little Fox followed behind.

nThe thirtieth catacombs.

nThe space wasn’t large, and it was less than ten meters across.

nKlein immediately noticed an ugly creature a few meters away.

nBehind it was a large bag filled with items. It was round and bulging.

nIt was leaning against the large bag and nibbling on a dried, colorful biscuit with its tiny feet.

nIt was immersed in its delicious food.

nThe fellow was about 1.3 meters tall and had a pair of short legs.

nIts skin was wrinkled, mostly brown, with many dark green spots.

nIt looked like a combination of a goblin and a dog. Its eyes were one big and one small, and its nose was long.

nWhen the Gold-Digging Dwarf saw the situation, it hurriedly got up and stuffed the unfinished colorful biscuit into its mouth. Then, it grabbed the large bag that was as tall as it was.

nHe didn’t immediately escape. Instead, he carefully observed Klein and the little fox.

nIf they were to make a move, he would immediately choose to escape.

nKlein and Little Fox stood where they were.

n“Wu, wu, wu!”

nLittle Fox cried out.

nHer voice was gentle and filled with goodwill.

n“Hello.”

nKlein took out the freshly roasted meat and shook it gently.

nWhen the wind blew, the aroma of the roasted meat immediately wafted towards the Gold-Digging Dwarf.

nIt had already smelled the aroma and couldn’t help but sniff. It stuck out its tongue and swept away the crumbs of the biscuits at the corner of its mouth.

nKlein smiled and said, “I have no ill intentions. I just want to complete a transaction with you. Look, I don’t have any weapons in my hands.”

nKlein revealed a smile that he thought was genial.

nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf was still highly alert as it mumbled a bunch of words.

nKlein didn’t understand a single word!

nKlein looked at the Gold-Digging Dwarf and said, “Little Fox, can you communicate with him? Tell him that I’ll barter with him for something.”

nHe could only entrust it to Little Fox.

nLittle Fox cocked its head and thought for a moment before it whimpered again.

nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf didn’t understand it very well, so he chatted for two minutes before the other party understood.

nFirst, he pointed at the bag, then at Klein’s barbequed meat.

n“Yes, I’ll barter with you.”

nKlein smiled.

nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf rolled his eyes as saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

nA moment later, the Gold-Digging Dwarf nodded and opened the bag.

nThere were many items inside, and they were extremely miscellaneous.

nKlein quickly scanned the bag and saw runes, gold, silver, jewelry, and a short sword.

n“Trade runes!”

nKlein took out a wind rune and simply gestured at the Gold-Digging Dwarf.

nThe gold-digging dwarf nodded his head repeatedly before reaching into the large bag to fiddle with it.

nWhen he retracted his hand, there was a water rune.

n“That works too!”

nKlein’s eyes lit up as he threw the roasted meat in his hand to the Gold-Digging Dwarf.

nThe roasted meat wasn’t worth much.

nBy throwing it to the Gold-Digging Dwarf first, he could gain his trust.

nThat would give him a foundation for cooperation.
