nAfter the Gold-Digging Dwarf looked at the reputation trading card in Klein’s hand, he suddenly had no intention of escaping.
n
n
nThe two sides began trading.
n
n
nKlein used the roast meat as a bargaining chip again.
n
n
nThe process was similar to the last time.
n
n
nThis Gold-Digging Dwarf didn’t have any good stuff on him.
n
n
nKlein only exchanged five runes. 2 wind, 2 water, 1 earth.
n
n
nAnd a special item.
n
n
nThe common language of the catacombs world!
n
n
nIt was a thick and unadorned book.
n
n
nNone of the words on it could be read.
n
n
nIt was like a distorted rune.
n
n
nThe Common Language of the Catacombs World Rune Teaching Book: Created by an upright-walking crypt creature. It is suitable for most crypt creatures. After using it, one can immediately master the common language of the Catacombs World.
n
n
nKlein was holding the teaching book in his hands.
n
n
nHe raised his head and heard the Gold-Digging Dwarf going, “Abba abba.” He kept gesturing as if he wanted Klein to learn.
n
n
n“Use.”
n
n
nKlein recited silently.
n
n
nIn an instant, the light-colored patterns on the surface of the rune teaching book gradually lit up.
n
n
nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf clapped his hands in joy.
n
n
nThe rune teaching book transformed into rays of golden light that fused into Klein’s brain.
n
n
nKlein was slightly absent-minded.
n
n
nA large number of strange symbols and sounds were inserted into his memory.
n
n
n“Hey, hey, hey? Have you learned it?”
n
n
n“Hey, can you understand what I’m saying?”
n
n
nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf kept waving his arms and shouting from a few meters away.
n
n
nKlein snapped back to his senses and said with a faint smile, “I’ve learned it. It’s not bad.
n
n
n“Of course, the runic teaching book is a rare item. I’m only willing to give it to you because the meat you trade is very delicious! Most of the time, everyone needs to learn the common language bit by bit.
n
n
n“It would take a few years to learn and finish the entire book.”
n
n
nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf chuckled. “Look, can you give me the condiments you used just now?”
n
n
nSo there’s a reason!
n
n
nKlein smiled.
n
n
nThe last time he gave a bottle of black pepper to another Gold-Digging Dwarf, he went to the exchange channel to exchange for it.
n
n
n“Alright, not only will I give you black pepper, I’ll also give you a portion of chili noodles. It’s not bad to sprinkle it on.”
n
n
nKlein handed over the black pepper and chili noodles and said with a smile, “It’s fate that we met. Don’t be in a hurry to leave. We’re having barbecued meat tonight, so we can eat it in pieces.”
n
n
nIt wasn’t that Klein was hospitable, but he wanted to gather more information.
n
n
nInformation about the catacombs!
n
n
n“No, no, no. Our race has a habit of leaving immediately after the transaction. Although your barbecued meat is delicious, I must abide by the rules passed down by the ancestors of the Gold-Digging Dwarf.
n
n
nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf quickly packed the items before tying the bag.
n
n
nThere weren’t many good items left in the bag. Most of them were gold, silver, jewelry, or some food.
n
n
nKlein recalled that the Gold-Digging Dwarf had left in a hurry. So that was the reason.
n
n
nEven if the Gold-Digging Dwarf was greedy, it would still abide by the rules passed down by its ancestors.
n
n
n“Before I leave, can I ask you a question? What is the entire catacombs world like?”
n
n
nKlein spoke quickly, almost reflexively raising the question.
n
n
nIf the Gold-Digging Dwarf stayed behind…
n
n
nHe could ask about it in detail.
n
n
nTime was tight, so the question appeared vague.
n
n
nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf paused and curled his lips. “The underground world is very large. Our current location is in the periphery. If you keep moving forward, you might be able to find the Underground City! Only in the Underground City…
n
n
n“Can you see the civilization. There are only beasts in the periphery.
n
n
n“I have to go.”
n
n
nThe Gold-Digging Dwarf dug into the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
n
n
n“Underground City?”
n
n
nKlein repeatedly pondered over the information the Gold-Digging Dwarf brought him.
n
n
nUnderground city civilization, periphery…
n
n
nThe amount of information was a little large.
n
n
n“The periphery is filled with beasts? It looks like even if they’re crypt creatures, there’s still a chain of contempt.”
n
n
nKlein looked at Little Fox and Little Wind. The two little fellows didn’t speak a common language.
n
n
nWhen they communicated with each other, it was mostly through body language or tone.
n
n
nPreviously, he had naively allowed Little Fox to communicate with the Gold-Digging Dwarf. Both sides were probably speaking a different language. It was no wonder that he had to spend so much effort to understand it.
n
n
nAnd the reason why his words could be understood by Little Fox and Little Wind was mostly because they were bound to each other.
n
n
nThe number of excavations tonight had been used up.
n
n
nKlein spread out the base and camped at the same spot.
n
n
nThere was still some time before dinner.
n
n
nKlein first went to the balcony to take a look. The Sweet Fruit had yet to ripen, but the Bread Tree had already blossomed!
n
n
n‘Looking at the situation, I can taste the Sweet Fruit tonight.’
n
n
nKlein watered it and brought the fishing device outside.
n
n
nSome minced meat had already been placed in the fish catcher as bait.
n
n
nHe dug a deep pit and buried the fish catcher.
n
n
n“I wonder if I can catch a few more after being buried for a long time?”
n
n
nKlein brought the shovel back.
n
n
nOn the way back, he thought of the runic honeycomb.
n
n
nNow that he had enough runes, he could give it a try.
n
n
nThe roasted meat was dipped in honey, and it tasted pretty good!
n
n
nOn the balcony of the base.
n
n
nKlein opened the manufacturing list.
n
n
nPerfect Runic Honeycomb: Wind Rune 3
/1, Earth Rune 7
/1, Wood 154
/10, Iron 111
/15
n
n
nSelection of manufacturing.
n
n
nSystem notification: Wind Rune-1, Earth Rune-1, Wood-10, Iron-15
n
n
nSystem notification: Perfect Runic Honeycomb has been successfully constructed.
n
n
nA honeycomb-like device wrapped in iron plates appeared in front of Klein.
n
n
nThe interior was mainly made of wood.
n
n
nThere were some lines on the surface.
n
n
nThere was a hook at the top.
n
n
nTo operate, one needed to add a soul.
n
n
nIt operated for eight hours.
n
n
nKlein added a soul and hung the runic honeycomb above the balcony.
n
n
nThere were flowers on the balcony.
n
n
nIf the Sand Bees were attracted, they could also be used locally.
n
n
nKlein stayed on the balcony for a few minutes, but he didn’t see a single Sand Bee. He couldn’t help but doubt the efficacy of the device.
n
n
nOr was it still on the way?
