Bodamochi pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, "Our Iron Core Tribe has lived here for over a hundred years. Though the Great River Plain to the south is fertile, it has never sparked any greed in our hearts.
Like other Noric Tribes, we enjoy living close to the mountains, listening to the pleasant sounds of hammering iron, and watching the fiery red iron blocks transform into exquisite iron tools under the strike of a hammer...
Over the past century, we have witnessed the Skodisqi people conquer the Pannonians, only for the Pannonians to later enslave the Skodisqi people... Throughout this process, our Iron Core Tribe has never interfered with any side. Regardless of who our neighbors are, as long as they harbor goodwill, we are always willing to sell our iron tools."
