Chapter 377: Nomgrom
Max stared in awe as the structural quality of each of the buildings inside Nomgrom was easily better than the ones he was used to back in Peltagow or Rumstant.
“I knew dwarves were good with stone, but is there a magical skill I’m not aware of that allows them to shape it like this?”
Batrire smiled and nodded, leading the group, tugging Fowl slightly as she pointed with her other hand.
“That building is one of the main breadmakers from the olden days. If I told you that it was over a thousand years old, what would you say?”
Staring as they walked, Max saw that even from a hundred yards, the building stood out, three times larger than most and rising over four stories while most others were only two.
The lines of the stone didn’t look worn at all, and the gray tone of them had flecks of something in it that sparkled as the sunlight caught off them. Even from this distance he could see the carvings upon it seemed lifelike, dozens of reliefs with dwarves baking and selling bread to people.
“I would say you’re lying, but I can tell you’re not.”
She nodded and turned her attention back in the direction she was walking.
“That is because a few classes specialize in a rare stone skill. Only the dwarves typically acquire it, but there has been one case where a human was said to have gained it. Elves likewise have a wood skill that allows them to do what they do with wood.”
