Both of them had Han Shuo's blood essence. They instinctively felt close to each other, and Han Shuo could feel that feelings were slowly growing between them.
The Little Skull and the earth elite zombie, who were looking at each other, seemed to be slowly communicating about something. After a while, they both looked at Han Shuo with eager eyes.
"Alright, I'll send you back!" The two sent the message that they were leaving together. Han Shuo responded with a smile, and with an incantation, the Little Skull and the earth elite zombie disappeared from the cemetery of death.
After the two left, the cemetery of death regained its peace. The ground of the place of extreme earth was still flat, and the yin demon cave had stopped operating because of the yin demon's emergence.
Looking around and seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Han Shuo made a trip to the valley where the dwarves lived.
"Han, why did you think of coming here?" As soon as he arrived at the dwarves' valley, these simple dwarves expressed their deep enthusiasm. Along the way, there were people constantly asking him friendly questions.
After Han Shuo's last visit, the dwarves had received a large amount of food and daily necessities. Now, their elderly and children were all wearing thick cotton-padded clothes to ward off the cold, and there were warm stoves to bake them. With enough food to quench their hunger, even the depths of winter no longer seemed frightening.
Along the way, Han Shuo could see from the dwarves' faces that they were brimming with satisfaction and contentment. When these dwarves saw Han Shuo appear, they all expressed gratitude and welcomed him, yelling to each other to spread the news of Han Shuo's arrival. "Uncle Han, this is for you!" On the way to the center of the valley, a six or seven year old dwarf child holding a skewer of tanghulu walked up to Han Shuo, holding up a glossy roasted meat, and said in his tender voice.
"Thank you, good child!" Bending down, Han Shuo touched the dwarf child, who was only a few dozen centimeters tall, and said with a smile, casually taking the roasted meat from him.
Some of the adult Dwarves around him showed kind smiles, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious. It seemed that they had a very good impression of Han Shuo.
When Han Shuo arrived at the center of the village and saw the familiar dwarf warrior Bennett, as well as the old dwarf village chief Calvin, Han Shuo smiled and asked, "Elder, how have you been lately?"
"Dear Han, with you, this winter is no longer cold! Everyone will have warm clothes and enough food. No one will starve to death in winter! " Chief Calvin had a gratified expression on his face as he faced Han Shuo and expressed his gratitude to Han Shuo with dwarven etiquette.
Although Han Shuo hadn't helped these simple dwarves completely out of good intentions in the beginning, he realized that these stubborn dwarves were actually very easy to get along with after coming into contact with them. They were unbelievably generous to those they acknowledged as friends.
Unknowingly, Han Shuo had gained their friendship, but some of their actions and methods had also gained Han Shuo's favor. This made Han Shuo, who had originally intended to make use of them, truly treat them as trustworthy friends.
"That's good, that's good! If there's anything else you need, you can take advantage of this trip to let me know. I'm about to return to the human world again and can help you bring something along! "Han Shuo maintained a kind smile on his face as he spoke unhurriedly to Calvin.
Waving his hands, Calvin said emotionally, "No need, we'll be able to get through this winter easily. When spring comes, we'll need to use our own efforts in exchange for more returns. You know, we're a hardworking race. Children need to be raised from a young age and can't be allowed to develop lazy habits. "
Nodding, Han Shuo said understandingly, "So that's how it is. Mm, right, I've come this time because I want you to help me forge some weapons and armor. Would that be convenient for you, elder?"
"Han, you're treating us like strangers. We're friends, how could we not? The wild beasts don't come out during the winter, and there are very few places to move about in the Dark Forest. Forging weapons is our hobby, and it's a very interesting activity to forge some weapons when we're free. There's no problem at all. "Calvin didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed readily. He even looked quite happy.
"Really, Han, we've been thinking about how to repay you during this time. Now that you want us to forge weapons, we don't have to worry about it anymore." Bennett laughed heartily as he described their sincerity to Han Shuo.
It looked like these dwarves were still grateful for the daily necessities he'd given them. These dwarves weren't willing to take advantage of friends that they truly acknowledged. Therefore, they'd been searching for ways to repay Han Shuo.
Han Shuo was a bit embarrassed after Bennett's words. Han Shuo had harbored malicious intentions from the very beginning when he'd approached these dwarves. However, the dwarves' kindness and simplicity made him feel ashamed of his inferiority sometimes.
"Mm, let's not do anything for now because I haven't decided what type of weapon I want to forge. When I've decided what weapon I need, I'll bring some raw materials with me next time! "Han Shuo said.
After leaving the dwarves' valley, Han Shuo didn't linger in the Dark Forest and returned to the Glorious Tanai through the cemetery of death.
Putting away the magic staff, Han Shuo walked out of the room and discovered that the entire shop was empty. He was a bit stunned and didn't know where they'd all gone.
Han Shuo had given all the authority over the Soul Destroyer mercenary band to Trunks, while Phoebe was in charge of handling the treasures. Emily was in charge of keeping an eye on the messy affairs of the Dark Mantle organization, while Gilbert played a protective role in protecting Phoebe and Emily.
The sky was like a burning cloud and the sunset was bright red, indicating that it was already evening. During the day, the soldiers of the Cairo mercenary band were everywhere in the Glorious Tanai. The guards of the Valley of Sunshine's merchants were also patrolling the streets. Therefore, Han Shuo wasn't too worried about their safety.
Seeing that he was the only one left in the shop, Han Shuo took out the thick tome of necromancy he'd obtained from the cemetery of death and began to slowly study it.
During the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band's trip last night, the long-lost Canopy of Necromancy had been unleashed and had played an enormous role. If it wasn't for light grand magus Ferguson's timely arrival, the dark creatures within the range of the Canopy of Necromancy would have continued to wreak havoc and display extraordinary battle strength.
Even after absorbing the Calamity Church's archmage Clarendon's memories, Han Shuo didn't have any memories of the Canopy of Necromancy. He didn't even have the Corpse Resurrection spell that he'd previously grasped.
In other words, this magic tome from the cemetery of death was the crystallization of necromancy magic. It contained a large amount of necromancy knowledge, including some necromancy spells that had been lost in the past.
These things were extremely useful to Han Shuo. After obtaining Clarendon's memories, Han Shuo's understanding of necromancy magic had already reached the level of an archmage. He could understand many of the difficult and specialized sentences in the tome and didn't need to ask Fanny for more knowledge.
Time always passed so quickly when one was studying magic. The sky had completely darkened in the blink of an eye. Light footsteps outside roused Han Shuo from his reverie.
With a thought, Han Shuo clearly saw the newcomers through the surveillance of the three yin demons. It turned out that Trunks and Gilbert had returned together.
"Brian, I have good news for you. I think you'll be very happy to hear it!" Trunks had a joyful expression as he spoke to Han Shuo.
Starting, Han Shuo was surprised and asked, "What good news?"
"Do you remember Odysseus and the other five who adventured with you in the Dark Forest?"
"What is it?"
"When I came back today, I saw the six of them enter the Valley of Sunshine. Odysseus and the others have extraordinary strength and deep feelings for you. Our mercenary band has just been established and we need strong and reliable people like them. If you invite them, I think they might be willing to join us!"
Han Shuo couldn't help but say happily when he heard Trunks' words, "This is good news indeed. Odysseus and Gordon are both senior swordsmen, and there's also the water adept mage Aphrodite, a journeyman thunder mage, and the female elf archer Nia. Their strength isn't weak at all.
If they can join us, I think it will be a great addition to our mercenary band. It looks like our luck is quite good, heh heh! "
"They seem to be protecting a merchant this time. I spoke to them and they said they'll come tomorrow to catch up with you. I think there shouldn't be any problems!" Trunks smiled.
Han Shuo, who'd been listening to Trunks speak, suddenly furrowed his brow and looked at a large tree not far away. He said lowly, "Mister Edwin, since you're here, let's talk in the yard!"
