Chapter 18 The Competition to Defend Glory
Reiner heard that someone was arguing, and hurried over to check, and found that it was Master Xiuyin and the dwarf Moffett who had a dispute, and hurried forward to persuade him.
Moffitt is responsible for the maintenance of the mine machinery, which is equivalent to the role of a consultant, and he is not a resident of Lexingburg, so Huin's master status is useless in front of Moffitt, and in the entire mine, he is the only one who can do it. After fiddling with this mechanical equipment, his temper naturally rose a little over time.
Moreover, when Xiu Yin came here a few times before, he happened to catch up with Moffitt to go to Bone City to buy some mechanical parts, so he didn't know Moffitt, and Reiner didn't tell Xiu Yin that there was another person in the mine. dwarf.
Although Xiu Yin's sweet words reduced Moffitt's anger a lot, it was not enough for him to forgive Xiu Yin.
"Hmph, let me forgive this rude guy, just use our dwarf way to solve it!" Moffitt rolled up the sleeve of his right hand while speaking, exposing the thick muscles on his entire right arm .
Huin was very puzzled when he saw Moffitt's actions, "The way of the dwarves?"
Reiner's expression changed immediately after hearing Moffett's words. He and Moffett had been together for a long time. After the last dwarf in charge of mechanical maintenance left, the next one to be hired here was Moffett. Feite, he has been working here for two months.
Reiner also often heard some customs and anecdotes about the dwarves from Moffett.
So seeing Moffitt roll up his sleeves, Reiner knew what he was going to do, so he said in surprise, "Moffitt, you don't really want to compete with Master Xiuyin for arm wrestling, do you?"
Scared? !
After listening to Reiner's words, Xiuyin also had a big surprise on his face, "wrestling arms? With me?"
The simplest, most brutal and most peaceful way for the dwarves to resolve disputes is to wrestle their arms!
Xiu Yin looked at his somewhat slender arms, especially his right hand that had just recovered from a fracture a while ago, and his eyes drifted to the lumps of muscle on Moffett's arm, Xiu Yin couldn't help shivering .
"My God, I don't think it's a good idea to wrestle arms with a dwarf warrior like me!" Xiu Yin immediately retorted.
When Moffitt heard Huin's refusal, his face turned ugly again, and he raised his voice and shouted, "What? Are you going to refuse the dwarf's competition? You are humiliating a Moffitt who has the glory of a dwarf! "
"Ah, how could it be, I didn't mean to humiliate you..."
"What is it if it's not humiliation? Moffitt's first dwarf challenge to you humans was rejected. This is definitely a humiliation to Moffitt!"
Moffitt's voice became louder, and at the same time attracted many workers from the mining area to surround him.
"Hey, it's Master Huin and the dwarf Moffett."
"Well, it's exciting now..."
Xiu Yin found that many people had come to watch. He knew that if he didn't handle today's matter well, his image of useless wood would be further magnified, but on the contrary, if he could get rid of this Moffitt, his prestige in Fort Lexington would also increase. It will increase, which will also add some chips to the fight for the title of succession.
Shuyin stared at the dwarf named Moffett, and at the same time, he was also thinking of countermeasures quickly in his mind.
Shuyin has read about the habits of the dwarves in the book. In addition to being natural craftsmen, dwarves have a bold personality. Almost all male dwarves are addicted to alcohol, and once they recognize a certain thing, they will be stubborn. Therefore, Xiu Yin must reverse Moffitt's obsession with the dwarf competition.
Dwarves also have another characteristic. They believe in power, and they will immediately respect any power stronger than themselves.
Xiu Yin felt that he could take advantage of this. Now that he had his own company, he had to recruit all kinds of talents. In the original world, the eternal theme in the workplace was the competition for talents.
The current status of Moffitt is still equivalent to the role of a temporary worker. Huin wants to make him a regular employee of his company, and also let him have his sense of identity with the company.
It is good that Xiu Yin has the idea of recruiting Moffitt in his mind, but the most critical issue is how to recruit, especially seeing Moffitt's thick arms, using force is definitely not enough.
Use magic? Xiu Yin quickly vetoed this idea, and he was only half-baked, and the small fireballs he made were not enough for the onlookers to laugh at.
"I'm going to duel with you dude now!" Moffett yelled again at this moment, and he was about to reach out and take off the hammer from his waist.
"Wow, do great dwarf warriors use weapons in a duel?" Huin exclaimed, he was sure that Moffitt only needed a hammer to blow his head off, although he didn't believe the dwarf Moffitt either. Really dare to hurt someone with a weapon in front of such a person.
By the way, weapons?
Shuyin remembered the crossbow in his backpack at this moment.
"Hehe, it's done!"
Xiu Yin was happy in his heart, and at the same time, he immediately put a smile on Moffitt's face, "Great dwarf warrior, I am intoxicated by your powerful muscles, I think it is impossible for me to defeat your thick arms ..."
As soon as Xiu Yin's words softened, Moffitt's expression immediately became smug. To be praised and surrendered by a young master of a baron's family in front of so many people felt quite good to Moffitt.
However, Xiu Yin didn't finish his words, and the next thing is Xiu Yin's trump card, "However, I heard that dwarf warriors are not only good at making weapons, but also very skilled in using them, so why don't we compare how to use weapons?"
Moffitt was proud of himself at this time, and a dandy young master proposed to try a weapon with him, Moffitt didn't take Xiu Yin seriously at all, and asked casually, "What kind of weapon?"
"Crossbow!"
Xiu Yin took out the crossbow from his backpack, his heart was already bursting with the joy of victory, Moffitt would not refuse his competition, and if he used the crossbow, Xiu Yin was confident that the victory must be his own.
Sure enough, Moffitt jumped up when he heard Xiu Yin's words. As a dwarf, wouldn't he be afraid to compete with a rich young master for what he was good at?
"Wow, you dare to compare the mechanical crossbow with Moffitt, I will let you see the strength of Moffitt's warrior!"
Moffitt ran back to a wooden house, and quickly came back with a crossbow in his hand. The crossbow in his hand was almost half as tall as him, but he didn't have much trouble picking it up, and he still had a scar on his face. Excitedly shouted, "Let's start, what is the competition? Whose crossbow is more accurate?"
Click!
Shuyin stuck a crossbow bolt into the groove on the crossbow body, and then pulled the string.
"How do you compare, what you say!" With the crossbow in his hand, Xiuyin deliberately glanced behind the crossbow, and saw the green crosshair appearing in the center of the field of vision again, Xiuyin felt special in his heart at this moment comfortable.
"Huh, then the great dwarf warrior will come to pick the target!"
Under the eyes of the surrounding mine workers, Moffitt's seemingly clumsy body ran to an open space in the mining area very lightly, pointed to a place and said, "There is a target over there, ten for each person Arrows, whoever hits the most bulls-eyes wins!"
Shu Yin and the onlookers looked in the direction of Moffitt's finger, and sure enough, there was an archery target standing about a hundred steps away from them.
"It seems that Moffitt practiced a lot when he was idle and bored." Xiu Yin sighed softly in his heart, no wonder Moffitt agreed to him very happily, it turned out that he also had such a skill.
Shuyin came to Moffitt's side with a calm expression, and said with a smile, "So great dwarf warrior, let's start now!"
