The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 167 ~ Blacksmith
Zhang Ziyi reached the place where the Gnomes were. They were so enthusiastic and cheered that the Orc race had been defeated. Even from now onwards they will be safe from that race of troublemakers.
Yes, the term race troublemakers are very suitable to be pinned on the Orc race. They are happy to be violent. Coming to the village for the sake of the village, and doing chaos which is certainly very detrimental to the citizens. Even the small sects were not spared from their mess.
Big bodied. The pointed teeth protrude forward, the green yet pale skin being the hallmark of this breed. Surely their nature is happy to make damage. That is why so many people have been made restless by this race.
Zhang Ziyi took out the antidote potion he had obtained from the leader of the Orc race. He then spread the powder in the air. Using the elemental Wind Element, Zhang Ziyi spread the antidote powder, until all the Gnome races could breathe it in.
Kinglyong!!
The dazzling light briefly disturbed Zhang Ziyi's gaze. The light itself came from the bodies of the dwarfs who were none other than the Gnome race. Lasting for ten seconds, that dazzling light had now disappeared.
The dwarf figure, which was once the size of an adult's thumb, has now become huge. But still small compared to the normal human body. Perhaps his height was equivalent to that of a seven-year-old child.
The leader of the Gnome race approached Zhang Ziyi after he had previously laughed joyfully. After many years of living a dwarf, he and his members finally managed to be free from the curse.
"Thank you for freeing us from the Orc race, sir... I don't know what we should give you. Treasure alone might not be enough for this. Given, the services of the Master are too great. If only Master did not exist, perhaps our race would also be wiped out today!" The leader of the Gnome race knelt down and saluted.
Hearing the words from the leader of the Gnome race, Zhang Ziyi thus recalled his meeting with the leader of the Mermaid race.
"What if you become my subordinates!" tawang Zhang Ziyi's. "I'm not forcing either!" Zhang Ziyi continued.
The leader of the Gnome race did not immediately reply. He seemed to be thinking for a moment. Considering Zhang Ziyi's words earlier.
"Good..."
Zhang Ziyi frowned. The answer was so short. Being in the middle between either in other words approving, or in other words disagreeing.
"okay?" Zhang Ziyi repeated the words of the Gnome Race Leader. Implied intonation full of question marks from him.
"Well, we'll follow your–. Given the services you have rendered to our race, then nothing else can replace it. And maybe devoting yourself to you is the best way!"
At least it was the decision of the Gnome race leader. Actually one of the reasons he was interested in becoming a follower of Zhang Ziyi was during the battle earlier. Where he and his members watched the action battle. Looking at Zhang Ziyi who had many subordinates from different races, also looking strong made him have the intention to also follow Zhang Ziyi.
"Thank you for accepting my offer. If you're with me, you'll be safe. I'll guarantee the safety of your race." Zhang Ziyi promised.
"Thank you, Mister!" Once again, Si Yao saluted.
"But, in order to gain the status of master and subordinate, then I will enter into a contract agreement with you!" zhang Ziyi.
"By pleasure, Sir!"
After making a contract agreement, Si Yao then drove Zhang Ziyi somewhere. Where there the Gnome race kept the abundant treasures from mining.
Entering the dungeon, Zhang Ziyi as well as the leaders of the Gnome race stumbled upon the members of the Gnome race who roamed the dungeon. The gnomes they encountered often carried magical hoes and sacks with them.
It seemed obvious that this Gnome race was so diligent and hardworking. Even those who had just been happy to have returned to their original body shape, they had started back to work. It is as if celebrating that happiness by working harder.
"I think making them subordinates is good luck!" muttered Zhang Ziyi.
Walking for a while, after passing through the twists and turns of the cave hall, they finally arrived at the destination.
"As per my promise, I will take Master to our possessions!" The leader of the Gnome race cupped both hands, then allowed Zhang Ziyi to enter the Gnome race treasure ground.
"Yes!"
The first time Zhang Ziyi entered the room, he was greeted by something dazzling. Gold Colored. Bright and extremely bright, to the point of forcing Zhang Ziyi to block his gaze with an arm.
Five seconds, Zhang Ziyi was getting used to the golden luster. Look at a very large room. And filled with countless treasures.
Zhang Ziyi was amazed. Laohu and Niao who saw the abundance of gold, immediately shot towards the treasury. They entered the treasure. It was like taking a bath on a pile of gold coins.
The leader of the Gnome race let them off without intending to reprimand the two pets Zhang Ziyi.
Zhang Ziyi looked at Si Yao. He feels bad about it. Accepting this much treasure just like that. Perhaps the Gnome race had worked hard for tens or even hundreds of years to gather the treasures that were within the room.
"Si You's. You have gathered this treasure with great difficulty and it may take many years. And so, I will not accept it. This treasure is yours and you can use it according to your needs."
Zhang Ziyi stopped his sentence for a moment. After that he went back on.
"However, since you have officially become my subordinates, then every time you mine, then the result will be mine...."
The leader of the Gnome race nodded.
"I understand, Sir."
"Oh, yeah. You said that you guys had a good blacksmith. He can create spiritual weapons, right?"
The leader of the Gnome race nodded. Justifying Zhang Ziyi's statement earlier. "True Mr. ., but actually not just one person, but almost all members of the Gnome race are blacksmiths. But only one has a higher skill set than us" explained the Gnome race leader.
"Bring me to him!"
"Good, Master!"
The leader of the Gnome race complied with Zhang Ziyi's request to meet with a reliable blacksmith at intent. Laohu and Niao themselves, who had originally seemed to enjoy the golden bath, had to stop their activities and follow their master.
-
"We've arrived!" si Yao said as they reached an old house.
From inside the building, Zhang Ziyi could be heard clashing with a hammer that was hitting the iron. It seemed like inside the old house, someone was doing his act as a blacksmith.
Previously, on the way to that place, along the way Zhang Ziyi saw countless blacksmiths. Indicates that the Gnomes have two skills. Where besides mining, they were also a blacksmith.
Zhang Ziyi had briefly ordered the quality of the weapons from the blacksmiths they had gone through earlier, which was not too bad.
"If it's like this, my subordinates should not be in trouble in terms of weaponry!" Zhang Ziyi muttered inwardly. Surely he was very happy to meet the Gnome race. Which has many advantages.
Zhang Ziyi, the Gnome Leader, as well as his two subordinates walked over to the entrance of the old building.
The leader of the Gnome race opened the wooden door.
Kreek!
Look inside the building that looks very messy. Lots of tools on the floor.
Getting inside, they saw a short man playing with a hammer in front of the burning embers.
The ladder!!
Move up!!
The ladder!!
A blow full of energy. The iron that had been heated was instantly formed in a single blow, signifying how skilled the person was in making weapons.
