Dwarf Reece glanced at Alfie and did not take what he offered.
Waving a hand, Reece said in a low voice:
"No need for this. We caused you trouble along the way as well."
"Now that I've finally reached Lonely Mountain City, I plan to look around on my own first. Let's part ways here!"
"Alright, then!"
Alfie froze slightly before speaking with some regret.
Watching Reece's departing figure, Alfie put away the box in his hand and sighed regretfully.
Failing to give away the gift disappointed Alfie, who had wanted to deepen his relationship with Reece.
But there was nothing to be done about it.
After all, this was a powerful Gold-level dwarf, perhaps even a forging master.
Such a figure was extremely important to the Mithril Chamber of Commerce.
During their journey, through his conversations with Reece, Alfie had learned that he had previously remained in his hometown of Boer City.
This time, he had wanted to come to the Dwarf capital, Lonely Mountain City, to see it for himself, which was why he had joined their caravan midway.
For the Mithril Chamber of Commerce of the Hernandez Kingdom, which had close ties to the Dwarf Kingdom, befriending every Dwarf Race forging master was an extremely important matter.
They could bring considerable benefits to both the chamber of commerce and the kingdom.
That was why Alfie had been so accommodating toward Reece throughout the journey.
Encountering a potential Dwarf Master along the way was luck that had truly delighted Alfie.
Unfortunately, although this dwarf looked rather young, he had not been moved by Alfie's efforts.
He had not even accepted the gift.
Alfie sighed regretfully once more and shook his head.
That was simply how it was when dealing with dwarves. They were rarely interested in other things.
