Bab 393: Running Into an Enemy

As Abel continued to chat with Rawl, he realized how scarce shops around here were. It was really bizarre to see. If all these different races were living together, how did the local inhabitants get their daily necessities?

"Why are there so few shops around, Rawl?" Abel turned his head around and asked.

Rawl replied, "You hadn't been to a lot of dwarven cities, have you, Master Abel? You see, the city that you see is just its surface. The real wealth and beauty are located at the belly of the mountain. What you see here is just for humans and elves. Only a handful of dwarves live on the surface, while most of them, according to their traditional customs, make their livelihood underneath."

After Rawl gave his explanation, he did an exaggerated pose as he pointed towards the road ahead. He was saying that the underground was big--like, massive.

When they continued a bit more, Rawl started pointing towards the tip of the mountain.
