Chapter 921 Cultural Differences
Brandon didn’t understand a word of the gray dwarf’s chatter.

With the help of Bron’s translation, he was able to figure out what the other party had said.

“You killed a minotaur. According to the rules of the Deep Region, its horns are your trophy.”

“You are awesome, you big, hairless, sexy fool!”

When Brandon heard the name translated by Bron in Common Language, even though it was a compliment to him, he always felt something was wrong.

“What is this hairless and sexy big fool?”

Braun groaned and explained helplessly, “It can’t be helped. Gray dwarves have no manners. Not to mention people of other races, even among themselves, they call each other by vulgar names.”

“They don’t like to give people names that are too complicated, so there are many people with the same name in the tribe. In order to distinguish them, they often use some ugly nicknames to distinguish them.”

“For example, Mal, the stinky one, Sloane, the one with the ulcer on his butt, Ace, the blind idiot… Anyway, they are not good words.”

“I guess it’s because you’re tall that I gave you this nickname.”

Brandon sighed helplessly.

This is the territory of the gray dwarves. Be it adapting to local customs or hiding one’s identity, he will not compete with these guys.

He walked forward and drew out the big sword from behind again, and a bright purple sword energy flew past.

Brandon easily cut off the two extremely hard horns on the minotaur’s head.

The two gray dwarves saw this and their eyes lit up. They pointed at Brandon’s weapon:

“Varmus! Kagupma Podken, Knis?”

Brandon scratched his head: “What are you talking about this time?”

Bron translated: “What they mean is that your weapon looks special. Which gray dwarf enchanter enchanted it for you?”

Brandon was stunned for a moment: “Enchantment? No?”

This greatsword was indeed made at great expense to him, but most of the cost was spent on the [Strengthening] step.

In the process of strengthening to +9, Brandon was too lazy to count how many times he failed.

Anyway, he alone almost emptied the inventory of the blacksmith Maren, and all the greatswords in the shop were strengthened by him.

Although believers in seeking knowledge are complaining about the saying “strengthening will ruin a year”, once the strengthening fails, all the savings gained from a year’s hard work may be lost.

But as long as you can successfully strengthen it into a real +9 weapon, it will definitely be at the level of a “magic weapon”!
This weapon, which is actually used in actual combat, is different from the wooden sword that Petunia accidentally made at that time.

It is strong enough, sharp enough and powerful enough in itself!
Brandon, a level 4 warrior, makes it even more powerful.

Plus the unparalleled sword energy effect produced after being strengthened to +9.

without any exaggeration.

The Minotaur is a big, menacing looking creature, but its head has no special protection and is an extremely fatal weak spot. After the sword energy breaks through the defense, the sword tip can directly split its head open!

It is normal to kill instantly with one sword.

Brandon even felt a little relieved after killing the Minotaur.

This thing is much easier for him to fight than monsters!

Those high-level dangerous monsters don’t have any so-called fatal weaknesses at all, and the damage caused by attacking them is almost impossible to kill them instantly.

Most of the time, you have to grit your teeth and fight hard, and deplete the monster’s “health value” before it loses its vitality and dies completely.

I am used to fighting with the most dangerous monsters and living a hard life. Now I meet such a “fragile” opponent, who is simply vulnerable in front of me.

The world seems to have turned into “EASY” mode.

“Can you help me translate for them?”

Brandon thought for a moment, then said to Bron seriously:

“I didn’t use any duergar enchantments. This is just an ordinary weapon, forged and strengthened by a good forger.”

“For an enemy of the caliber of the Minotaur, killing one, let alone ten or eight of them, would be easy for me.” Brandon was not bragging.

He just drank a small bottle of Heart of Wrath potion in a hurry, in order to immediately generate enough rage to cast [Sacrificial Strike] and [Wind Leap Slash].

There are still a lot of hidden cards that have not been used.

If you encounter a strong enemy, once the [Gods Descend to Earth] is activated, you will immediately ignore all your relatives.

If he is besieged, he also has powerful combat skills such as [War Destroyer] and [Blade Storm] that allow him to attack all enemies around him.

A mere minotaur is indeed no problem.

Bron translated this to the two gray dwarves.

After hearing this, one of them looked suspiciously at the +9 greatsword that Brandon had put away behind his back, as if he was confirming something.

After looking for a while, he looked away in a daze.

Then he made a friendly gesture to Brandon, which was common on the continent of Prentis.

“Mayek!”

Bron hurriedly translated: “Don’t get me wrong, they are not mocking you, they are praising you.”

“Mayek in their language probably means something like, you are awesome, you are really strong.”

“A friendly gesture is how they show their respect for you.”

“Dark dwarves don’t like to give the thumbs-up gesture. This gesture doesn’t exist in their culture.”

Everyone was speechless for a while.

The “cultural differences” between the surface world and the deep regions are indeed quite huge.

If it weren’t for the dwarf Braum acting as an interpreter for them, the two sides might have come into direct conflict over these differences.

Brandon thought about it.

Start by giving the two duergar the same general friendly gesture in return.

Then he confirmed:

“So, the minotaur’s horn, what is the use of this thing?”

Braum shrugged, and his white beard swayed a few times. “I heard that the enchantment skills mastered by the gray dwarves can achieve different effects by using different materials for enchantment.”

“Most enchantment materials can be found in the Deep Region, and correspond to different enchantment types.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, this thing should be some kind of enchanting material.”

“If you have a chance, you can look for enchanters in places where the gray dwarves live. They should know more about it.”

Brandon said:
“If we had known earlier, we should have asked Mr. Wallace to come along as well. He is knowledgeable and good at identifying divine arts. He will surely be able to figure out the effect of this thing quickly.”

When Pete heard this, he immediately advised, “No, no, no!”

“Please spare Mr. Wallace!”

“He said he wanted to study the black sphere we found in the dark crypt with Scholar Mendel. He will stay in Dawn City for a while and doesn’t plan to go out again.”

“He’s busy enough, stop bothering him!”

Pete just finished speaking.

The scene before everyone’s eyes suddenly changed.

A spectacular scene emerged from the darkness without warning!
