Learning about runes (2)

Since I was willing to take this out, naturally I was willing to teach them.

But before that…I had to make sure that I was getting something that was worth this information.

I didn't explain what these runes were like I had done with the alloy right away.

Instead, I looked at the Dwarven King and calmly asked, "The results of the forging duel?"

The dwarves were taken aback when they heard this, but then they all suddenly revealed wide smiles.

The Dwarven King gave a chuckle before saying, "You still need to ask? If I wanted to proclaim victory after that display, I would be a fool, right? My eyes are still clear, so I can see the difference between our blades. There's no need to worry, I accept my loss."

After he said this, all of the other dwarves gave a chuckle.

They knew what personality their king had, that was why they were willing to follow him in the first place.
