บท 539: The Dragon Nest

"Oooh! So you know my ol' friend Nedrug! You should had said so sooner! Hahahaha!" Kestrellius laughed. It was quite clear how fast he changed his attitude towards us.

Once we offered Kestrellius some beer and snacks, he quickly became more friendly. I guess the quest was right in that regard. Sometimes for people to show their kindness, you have to give them something to incentivize such kindness.

"Anyways, about what we said earlier, mister Kestrellius…" I said, giving him a kind smile.

"Oh right! My bad, I was a bit rude there, I had no idea you guys were so kindhearted as to give me some beer and snacks." Kestrellius laughed. "Sorry about being grumpy, I often have a hard time getting by nowadays…"

"Huh? Why is that the case?" Asked Acorn. "I had heard the dwarves were living rather well, no?"
