Chapter 355 Banquet

Chapter 355 Banquet

The negotiations went smoothly because of how capable Haley was.

She didn't have a problem negotiating the prices with her skills and she even got much more than she had even expected, so she was all smiles in the end.

At the same time, she also made sure to negotiate all of the terms needed to hire dwarven workers for the mine.

That was also an important matter for the future, so she needed to make sure that it was all taken care of beforehand.

Once this was all done, the Dwarven King said, "Let's go."noVE-lb/In

We were all confused when we heard this and didn't follow him as he headed out.

Seeing the confused looks on our faces, the Dwarven King explained, "A banquet has already been prepared to welcome all of you. Let's go, the dishes are getting cold."

We couldn't help being surprised hearing this, but we did follow him this time.

It seemed that from the very beginning, the Dwarven King had been planning on treating us with kindness.

Of course...I knew that there was a certain limit to that kindness before all of this happened.

If I hadn't shown him my cards...then he wouldn't have given us all of this.

There would be no mentions of mines or being able to hire dwarven workers. At most, it would have just been a permit to trade in ores with the dwarves.

So I was glad that I decided to go along with it.

After all, I had come up with a new plan during all of this.

Just in case it didn't work out in the human kingdom, it would be possible to come here.

I would have mines to rely on, the only thing that I would need is land and I'm sure that I would be able to get some if I showed a few more cards.

Always having a way out was a good idea and the Dwarven Kingdom was a very good way out.

So I was planning on making some good connections at the banquet.

When we arrived, we found that there were many dwarves that were waiting at this banquet, much more than we had met before.

All of them seemed like they were important dwarves since they were able to come to this banquet that was being hosted by the Dwarven King.

However, the banquet for the dwarves was very different compared to a banquet held by humans.

Instead of it being stuffy, it was very relaxed and open where everyone ate what they wanted and drank what they wanted. There was even an open bar that catered to anyone that came.

As long as they had a request, there would be alcohol brought out.

It seemed much different from the banquets that I had been forced to attend when I had been in the capital.

I was able to have quite a bit of fun, though I did make sure to hold myself back under the watchful eyes of Shaka and Haley.

They made sure that I didn't let myself go too much.

Halfway through the banquet, I excused myself to go to the bathroom.

When I got away from the rowdy banquet, I finally had a moment to myself to take a deep breath and calm down.

As I stood there in the hallway, I couldn't help revealing a smile.

The dwarves...really were something else.

They weren't like the humans at all with their strict rules and manners, they were free to do whatever they wanted to do.

If possible, I even wanted to become a dwarf...

But that was just wishful thinking.

As I was heading to the bathroom, I saw that there was a female dwarf that was walking through the halls with a worried look on her face.

I would have walked right past her since I knew that it was better not to get involved, as well as a small part of me not wanting to interact with female dwarves because...of their appearances.

But I couldn't help being stopped when I saw this female dwarf's appearance.

That was because...she was completely different from the other female dwarves that I had met before.

Her face was still the same, but her body...

She had a figure that didn't fit that appearance at all.

This was a figure that was full and busty, completely different from the flat figure that the rest of the female dwarves had.

Wasn't this the legendary oppai loli?

I really couldn't help stopping and taking a second look when I saw her, but that female dwarf misunderstood.

When she saw me stop, she thought that I had stopped to help her.

So she looked at me and was about to speak, but she stopped herself and revealed a surprised look as well.

It was most likely because I was a human that she was surprised like this.

However, she didn't remain surprised for long as she asked, "Do you know the way to the banquet hall? I was walking around and I got lost."

I didn't seem to hear her at first, so she said, "Are you alright? Is there something wrong?"

When she said this, I realized my mistake and gave a cough before saying, "No, there's nothing wrong at all."

I gave another cough before turning around and pointing to the left to say, "If you follow this corridor and go left, you'll go back to the banquet hall."

The female dwarf's face lit up when she heard this.

She grabbed me and I could feel softness coming from her, but that just made me turn stiff since her face...made it feel illegal.

She said in a happy voice, "Thank you!"

Then without waiting, she headed off

But at the end of the corridor...she suddenly turned right instead of left.

I was surprised by this, but I quickly chased after her and corrected her.

But it seemed that wasn't the end just yet...

Since she got lost once again even though it was a direct path.

Since I had already helped her, I had no choice but to help her to the end.

I guided her back to the banquet hall, or close enough that she would be able to see it and make her way there. However, I didn't walk her in since I didn't want to give anyone the wrong idea.

After we were in sight of the banquet hall, I asked her, "Will you be alright now?"

The female dwarf revealed a bright smile and said, "Thank you for helping me, I should be fine now."

But I couldn't help standing there watching just in case as she headed back into the banquet hall.

After all, I had seen her get lost on a straight path before.

She was able to reach the banquet hall in the end since it was in sight and it seemed that I was worried for nothing.

After this worry disappeared, I couldn't help suddenly trembling as that feeling came back.

I had been on my way to the bathroom and I had been holding it in because I had been worried about this female dwarf.

But once that worry was gone, that feeling of needing to pee came back again, so I rushed back to the bathroom.
