Chapter 103: Descending the Dwarves
"Hey, after so many days of hard work, the speed of crafting items is barely about the same as the record before the weakness was lifted? It's just that the negative effects that seem to have been added appear less often and there are almost no more. It seems that it was caused by the lack of magic or control over magic at the time. ”
During these 14 days, Drew consumed a lot of magic materials in order to adapt to his current physical abilities. Whether it's jewelry processing, enchantment, or tailoring, Drew's ability to master the various attributes of his body is quite good, and it is indeed a good way for Drew to master his condition in this seemingly wasted way of physical condition.
It's a pity that Drew missed two points. The first is that I didn't expect that my physical condition has hardly changed much, and the impact of the past 100 years on me seems to be too great, leaving me with a lot of small habits that seemed good at the time but are not applicable to the present. The second is that I didn't expect that even if I have an abnormal collection habit, I will have a day when I have left some materials in all the years except for the year when I went to Dragon Island to deliver equipment.
The reckless practice consumption itself is a bit large, plus the attribute bonuses given to Drew by the 3 main classes give Drew a good production endurance, and the magic materials saved in Drew's space ring are no longer one in ten. Moreover, at this price, the hot hand results in the past 14 days have only reached the bottom line of Drew's expectations.
"Forget it, the habits that have been cultivated in the past 100 years have just been broken. While it's a good thing that you've improved your control over your magic, vindictiveness, and strength, it's a price to pay for developing these bad habits. These habits can only be changed slowly. This year is not long before Hank's profiteer comes to play the beggar, and it's time to get ready to brew this year's fruit wine and beer. Hopefully, the effects of weakness will not have as much impact on the chef's sub-profession as expected. ”
After calculating the time, Drew found that it was time to rush for this year's winemaking, and it was estimated that the greedy Moonblade Leopard family couldn't wait. Whether it's for the sake of the Father's Pact with Hank, or for the sake of a dry purse, Drew has to start brewing this year. It's just that Drew, who was thinking about how to use the magic materials he traded from Hank this year, would not have thought that Hank's dwarven caravan would not be able to come to the elven kingdom this year. Or maybe they didn't get out of the dwarven kingdom at all!
About half a month ago, when Drew was happily robbed of his equipment, the dwarven king Cliff St. Firehammer, who had been troubled by the turmoil in the country in recent years, and his staff welcomed two uninvited guests. One of the main culprits who caused unrest in the kingdom, the patriarch of an old dwarven nobleman led two visitors from the abyss to the dwarven court.
Facing the dwarf king, Ankasa and Texas couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The two of them have been working hard for 50 years for this official meeting. If it was for the purpose in their hearts, then they not only spent a full 100 years, but also took all their forces in the abyss! Unlike in the past, according to the information they have, this time the two of them are very close to the target!
Ancasa is only 766 years old, and Texas is only 39 years older than him. Maybe 100 years is just a snap of a finger for some long-famous demon powerhouses, but for young people, this 100 years is long enough to occupy a good part of their memory, and they are still troubled by all kinds of anxious waiting and terrifying pursuits!
In order to corrupt an old dwarven nobleman, the two demons had to resort to their deep-hearted conspiracy and endure it for nearly 50 years. And these efforts are precisely to allow the two of them to have such a chance to face the dwarven king.
"Don't be too nervous, the great subjects of the El who share the same faith. We didn't have any ill intentions toward the Dwarven King, we were only here to meet you and ask you something. ”
Under the watchful gaze of a group of dwarven royal guards, Ankasa took off his cloak and began to remove the magic effect from his body under the gloomy gaze of the dwarven king. In the midst of the shock of a group of dwarves, the figure of a demon appeared in the royal court of the dwarves. The well-trained royal guards had begun to silently spread their formations, and they all pointed their warhammers at the demon. The two chief guards even dodged in front of the dwarf king.
"All the races of the Ella Continent do not welcome visitors from the abyss! What's more, it's a demon who only knows destruction! And watch out for your rhetoric, demon, though we are all great Lords of the Earth, El. But we believe in the benevolent side of the great El, and your faith is indeed the angry side of Lord El. ”
Signaling the royal guards to be on full alert, the Dwarven King Cliff St. Firehammer stood up from his throne and began to walk slowly towards the demons who appeared in the royal court. Every time he took a step closer to the demon, the momentum on his body became stronger, and when he was only one step away from this demon, the gorgeous decorations on his body had already been destroyed by the fighting spirit that was exuded, revealing the powerful outfit he wore inside. The terrifying aura he exuded made all the dwarves in the field inadvertently choose to retreat as a buffer.
As they walked towards the demons, the two loyal captains of the guard stood in the way of the dwarven king, but were rudely pushed away by Cliff. On the other hand, on Ankassar's side, Texas, who had not yet taken off his cloak, also dodged to block the way of the dwarf king, and was indeed ordered by Ankasa to retreat. Ankasa took a few steps forward towards the Dwarf King, smiled and stood face to face with the Dwarf King exuding terrifying killing intent in the center of the Dwarven King's court.
Suddenly, the terrifying killing intent that was still full of the royal court just now disappeared without a trace.
"It's time for the fools of the enemies of the abyss to keep their eyes open! Treating a demon archduke who had taken a demonic oath as an amethyst-level demon, could it be that they had been crusading against visitors from the abyss like this for thousands of years? The loss of half of the squad is really well deserved! Cliff St. Firehammer, Dwarven King! ”
If there is any force in the Ella continent that knows demons and demons best, it is not the Sun Temple, which claims to be mortal enemies of the abyss, nor the dragons, who are also mythical species, but the dwarven race who share the same beliefs as this group of abyssal species. Although the two sides of the faith are in different directions, after all, as Cliff said, they are two different sides of the same god. The Abyssal Race and the Dwarves know each other second only to their own. It was in this way that the Dwarven King saw Ankasa's identity at a glance and revealed his name, intending to use the communication between the Holy Orders to obtain information about the demon archduke in front of him.
"Ankasa Saint Greedy Demon is currently the 29th Demon Grand Duke of the Abyss. Very terrible observation, but also very terrible judgment. It seems that you have discovered that I have no ill intentions. ”
In the face of the dwarven king's malicious taunts, Ankasa just snorted coldly and said his name. It's just that in a disdainful tone, he expressed his admiration for the dwarf king in respectful words. Being able to determine his identity requires not only excellent eyesight, but also a comprehensive understanding of demons. After all, in the abyss, the demon's oath is only passed down as a legend. Moreover, the person in front of him not only saw his identity, but also saw that he was not malicious.
"Good luck greedy demon archduke? It seems that this kind of rumor does not show that you are superior...... If there is a fart, let it go, and say something quickly! I'm just showing respect for your status as a strong man, your demonic oath, and your honesty with each other, not welcoming an abyssal mongrel! I don't have time to ink with you! ”
The hatred of all the races on the Ella continent towards the Abyssal Race has penetrated deep into their souls and bloodlines. There is no way, every activity of these children of chaos on the Ella continent will almost cause disasters of varying degrees of magnitude or less, and the abyss invasion will make the Ella continent miserable. No matter what kind of disaster these abyssal races bring, all the races on the Abyss continent had to deeply imprint this hatred for the abyssal race into their instincts in order to survive. It is remarkable that the Dwarven King Cliff was able to suppress this hatred and chose to listen to the demon's nagging instead of making a move against Ankasa.
"I won't bother you too much, and I'll pay enough for this information. In the name of Ankassar Saint Greed, I swear to the great god of the earth and the abyss, Al, that as long as I get the information I want from the dwarves, I will not only remove all the chess pieces placed in the dwarves, but also do my best to help the dwarves calm down this chaos. And I will promise that my men will not set foot in the territory of the Dwarven Kingdom in my lifetime! ”
Ankassar's oath startled all the dwarves present. Not just because of what Ankasar swore to the god of the earth, but because of what he swore was. This level can no longer be described as rich! You must know that it is not easy for a demon archduke to make a life oath to the great Lord El, and it is still such a heavy oath! It's almost impossible to control the scope of destruction after a demon comes to the abyss!
"Your oath and your deeds have earned my respect, demon! Unlike the other Destroyer Demon Grand Dukes, you haven't caused much disaster to the Ella Continent so far. Say what you want! ”
After closing his eyes and pondering, the dwarven king coldly opened his mouth to Ankasa after the benefits that his oath to Ankasa could bring to the dwarven kingdom. However, his attitude did not bother Ankassar, but instead made the demon smile hideously.
"I can't guarantee that I won't cause disaster to the Ella continent in the future! All I can guarantee is that my men and I won't run into your territory to spread wild! ”
"I know this is protected by the Father's contract, but I wonder if it has something to do with my goals! Where did all the liquor that has circulated in small quantities among your dwarven higher-ups come from for the last 100 years? The Dwarven King Cliff St. Flame Hammer and the Great Merchant Hank Iron Block! ”
