When he'd exhausted his mental strength, the progress he made when he meditated again was noticeably faster than under normal circumstances. When Han Shuo returned to the cemetery of death and his mental strength was once again full after a night of meditation, Han Shuo came to this conclusion.
However, to a Necromancer, without mental strength, they wouldn't be able to release any magic. This would undoubtedly put them in a very disadvantageous situation. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no Necromancer would use up all of their mental strength in one go.
Since the dwarves were willing to share the mine, Han Shuo couldn't help but have other thoughts. The iron and copper ores in the mine seemed to be extremely large. With the dwarves' working speed, it would take a very long time to excavate all of them.
For Han Shuo, he could absolutely use his summoned creatures to speed up the mining process. If these copper and iron ores were transported to the Empire, Han Shuo would be able to earn handsomely for himself. According to Han Shuo's understanding and the dwarves' behavior, Han Shuo understood that these black iron ores would be very valuable resources. They might be able to sell for an astronomical price.
There should be many dwarf villages within the Dark Forest. This batch of dwarves didn't look like there were too many of them. They probably wouldn't need that much iron and copper ores even if they all added up. Since this was the case, Han Shuo had other plans in his heart.
After infusing the "Original Demon Cave" with fresh blood and magical yuan, Han Shuo left the cemetery of death early in the morning and hurried in the direction of the mine.
Han Shuo had thought that he was early enough, but when Han Shuo arrived at the entrance to the mine, he discovered that the dwarves had already arrived. The dwarves were twice as many as usual today. They seemed to have been excited the entire night, and all of their eyes were red, but their expressions were quite excited.
One of the dwarves, with a grizzled beard and a bent body and a walking stick, was giving instructions to the other dwarves with a solemn expression. The group of dwarves, including Bennett, all listened respectfully to his instructions.
Purposefully making footsteps to attract the dwarves' attention, Bennett immediately raised the iron hammer in his hand and yelled when he saw Han Shuo appear, "Hey, dear friend, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"
When Han Shuo arrived, the old dwarf with a grizzled beard bowed in human etiquette to greet Han Shuo, saying amiably, "Brave and powerful friend, many thanks for your help. I am Calvin, chief of this dwarf village, pleased to meet you."
"My name is Han Shuo. I'm honored to have your trust!" This place was far from the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, and no one knew his identity. Therefore, Han Shuo used his real name to negotiate with these dwarves.
"Brave Han, your name is amazing. I've never heard of anyone using such a name. Heh heh, the children all say that you're a trustworthy person. Our village is willing to share the secrets of the mine with you. I hope we can live in harmony in the future! " Calvin first looked a bit oddly at Han Shuo, seeming to be a bit puzzled by Han Shuo's name. However, a smile soon spread across his face and he spoke with a smile.
"Then, I think we can begin our work." Although Calvin was neither in a hurry nor too slow, the other dwarves all looked at the mine behind them, obviously revealing their impatient thoughts. Han Shuo didn't say much and directly stated his request for work.
"No rush." Calvin thought for a moment and stared at Han Shuo, "Han, why are you helping us so much? We're willing to share this mine with you. Why didn't you take half of the iron and copper ores with you yesterday? "
Older people thought more than others alright, and the dwarves were no exception. Han Shuo looked at Calvin and mused for a moment, explaining, "First of all, I have a grudge against the Forest Troll. Add to that the fact that I was won over by Bennett and the others' fearless fighting spirit, that's why I helped them.
Later on, they were the ones who helped me with the Windblade Wolves. Those two Windblade Wolves were originally my prey, and it was very easy for me to help you mine the ores. I don't know how to forge weapons, so these iron and copper ores are useless to me. That's why I didn't take them with me when I left. Elder Calvin, I hope you can believe me.
Nodding, Calvin bowed to Han Shuo and said humbly, "Apologies, Han. I'm older and have seen too many cunning humans. That's why I didn't take it to heart."
Nodding, Calvin bowed to Han Shuo and said modestly, "My apologies, Han. I'm older and have seen too many cunning humans. That's why I asked out of turn, I hope you don't mind."
"You're doing the right thing, I completely understand your concerns!"
"It'll be difficult for us to mine the deeper parts of these mines with just us. Since we're willing to share the secret with you, we're willing to share everything in there with you, including the black iron ore bestowed by the gods. We're willing to share everything equally with you. I hope you won't refuse, otherwise we'll truly be embarrassed. "Calvin thought for a moment and solemnly made his promise.
When Han Shuo heard these words, he sighed inwardly. Although the dwarves were stubborn and hot-tempered, they were a race worth befriending. Han Shuo was a bit ashamed of his own ulterior motives after Calvin's promise. He mused for a moment, "Don't worry elder, I completely agree to your suggestion. In addition, if I have enough black iron ore, I beg you to forge a weapon for me. Is that possible?"
"No problem, Han. Don't worry, if we have enough black iron ore, I'll personally supervise them and forge a suitable weapon for you." Calvin promised with a smile.
"Alright, I think we can start working!" Han Shuo finally set his mind at ease at this moment and sighed inwardly that the Demonslayer Edge had finally been secured. He smiled faintly and walked into the mine with the dwarves.
After half a day of digging, Han Shuo's mental strength was once again exhausted and he retreated, weary and exhausted. His gains this time were even more abundant than yesterday's. Apart from large amounts of iron and copper ore, he'd obtained another two pieces of black iron ore, one large and one small. Han Shuo generously gave the large piece to the dwarf village chief and only threw the small piece into his space ring.
At the entrance of the mine, the dwarves were all smiles as they carried the copper and iron ores on their backs, planning on carrying today's gains back to the village.
"Dear Han, what kind of weapon do you need forged?" Calvin asked Han Shuo before he left.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo took out his dagger and drew a blueprint of the Demonslayer Edge on the ground. He pointed at the weapon on the ground and explained to Calvin, "This is the weapon. I want the best and sharpest one. Do you think it'll be possible?"
Calvin squinted his eyes and bent down, staring at the blueprint of the Demonslayer Edge and observing it for a while. He said thoughtfully, "I've never seen the shape of this weapon before. It looks quite interesting and I think forging it shouldn't be a problem. However, if you want the best and sharpest one, you'll need some rare materials. Our village doesn't have enough of them. "
A thought struck Han Shuo as he thought of the Boozt Merchant Guild. It looked like he'd have to throw caution to the wind for the sake of this Demonslayer Edge. He couldn't help but say, "What other materials do you need? Elder can tell me and I'll think of a way to gather the rare materials. I need an extremely good weapon."
"Do you have pen and paper?"
"Of course!" Han Shuo took out the pen and paper he'd prepared before coming to the cemetery of death from his space ring and handed them to Calvin, saying, "Elder, don't worry about the lack of materials. I'll think of a way to gather the materials as soon as possible."
"Alright then." Calvin nodded and began to jot down a row of rare materials on the paper. He finally handed it to Han Shuo, saying, "Han, as long as these materials can be gathered, I promise to forge an incomparably sharp weapon for you."
"When I have enough black iron ore to forge this weapon, I'll think of a way to gather these materials. I'll come back earlier tomorrow to mine the ore." Han Shuo left the mine after saying this.
Han Shuo continued to mine the mine with the dwarves for the next ten days.
When Han Shuo had gathered enough black iron ore and the dwarves had all reaped a bountiful harvest, Calvin suggested that they temporarily stop mining the ore and start refining the ore into weapons. They'd come back to mine the ore when they didn't have enough weapons in the future.
During this time, Han Shuo had already gained the dwarves' trust and accepted Calvin's invitation to go to their village to drink and celebrate. He also knew the correct way to their residences.
Early this morning, after Han Shuo infused fresh blood and magical yuan into the "Original Demon Cave" in the cemetery of death, he directly used the transportation matrix to leave the cemetery of death.
