Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 340 Sudden summons

Chapter 340 Sudden summons

I just left the matter of negotiating to Haley, but they weren't done here either.

Ivar would bring this idea back to Nisa and she would take care of the negotiating.

When Nisa was brought up, even Varric couldn't help revealing a look that had a trace of fear in it.

It seemed that in the Silvermine Family, Nisa was a name that really invoked fear.

I would have to make sure that I don't offend her in the future or else I would definitely suffer at her hands…

Since we knew what we were buying, there was nothing left for us to do here.

In fact, almost everyone in our group wanted to go back as soon as possible to discuss this matter. They all looked like they wanted to grab the mithril right then and there and stuff it in their pockets.

Of course, they would never actually do something like that.

They at least had this restraint.

But Ivar also wanted to head back to the manor to discuss this since it was also a matter of alcohol for him.

With the new direction that Varric gave him, he would be able to secure a long term source of alcohol for him and his family. So of course he wanted to make sure that this happened as soon as possible.

Like this, we headed back to the Silvermine Manor, albeit Varric didn't follow us.

He just simply said, "I still have work to do here, so I'll drop by when I can."

Ivar gave a nod in response to this and left Varric to his thing.

It seemed that the relationship between the two brothers was quite good. It seemed that they were both happy with what they were doing and they didn't care about who the head of the family was.

This was always a good thing to see.

After all, if there was a bad relationship between the members of a noble family…it was very likely that one would betray the other.

Since they were our potential trade partners, I wouldn't want to see this.

I wanted them to be as stable as they could be so that we could continue a long relationship.

When we arrived back at the manor, it didn't go as we had expected.

As soon as we arrived, Nisa came over with a worried look and a letter in her hand.

When Ivar saw this, he didn't ask what was wrong and just took the letter from her hand. This was the trust that had been formed between them over many years of marriage.

Unless it was something very important, he knew that she wouldn't act this way.

As he read the letter, his brows knit more and more and his expression became uglier.

Once he finished reading the letter, he looked up at me with a strange look.

I didn't understand why he was looking at me with this strange look on his face, but it was clear that this wasn't a good look.

So I just waited to see what he had to say.

Ivar looked at me in silence for a bit before suddenly asking, "Have you ever met our king before?"

I couldn't help being taken aback when I heard this.

The Dwarven King?

Naturally I had never met this important figure before, so why was Ivar asking me about this?

I just slowly shook my head before waiting for Ivar to explain.

However, all Ivar did was keep looking at me with that same strange look in silence for a while.

Finally, he took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure?"

I was even more surprised after hearing this and this time gave a nod to show that I was sure.

Ivar looked down at the letter before saying, "This letter is saying that our king wants to meet all of you and me. He is summoning us to the capital to meet him."

"Huh?"

All of us said in a shocked voice as we looked at Ivar with looks of disbelief.

The Dwarven King was the ruler of the Dwarven Kingdom and he was now summoning us to the capital to meet him?

No matter how one looked at it, this didn't seem like a good thing.

This seemed like we were being called in for punishment or for something else bad.

But what had we done to offend the Dwarven King?

I looked at Ivar and asked, "Do you know why he's calling us in?"

Ivar shook his head before saying, "I think that should be my line for you…"

All of us just stood there in silence, not knowing how to respond to this.

In the end, Ivar couldn't help saying, "Is it because of the mithril trade…"

At this, all of us revealed looks of understanding.

If it really was because of the mithril trade, then that would make sense.

After all, Ivar had suddenly sent a letter asking to trade mithril with humans.

Even if he was a dwarven lord and this mithril was from the mine that he owned, it was still a precious resource and it wouldn't be strange if the king was worried about it falling into the hands of the humans.

After another long silence, Ivar finally said, "It seems like we'll have to take a trip to the capital and I'll have to ask you to come with me."

I just slowly gave a nod.

Even if I didn't want to go, it wasn't as if I had a choice.

After all, we were currently in the middle of the dwarves' territory. Even if we wanted to run away, it wasn't as if we could escape with all of the dwarves watching the border.

If we tried to escape, it would just make things worse.

We would have no choice but to meet with the Dwarven King.

Ivar gave a nod in response to my nod before saying, "We'll set off tomorrow morning then. I'll need all of you to come with me."
