Hearing Qi Yue's words, Ling Chen did not reply. After a short pause, he continued walking forward. Combined with what the mountain giant had said, he could basically confirm what kind of "tribe" he was about to face. However, no matter how one looked at it, this kind of encounter was too shocking. Not long ago, he had accidentally found the elves who had taken the initiative to avoid the world. Now, he had stepped into the hiding place of this race … All of this was too mysterious. They had been hiding for thousands and tens of thousands of years, and no one had found any traces of them, but he had found them in such a short period of time.
Ling Chen continued walking forward, and after a few dozen steps, another stone room of the same size appeared in front of him. Different from the previous one, this stone room is very quiet, inside there are more than ten square stone tables, as well as the same number of stone stools. When Ling Chen stepped in, a figure just happened to walk towards him.
This was indeed a person, at least with all the characteristics of humans that Ling Chen knew. However, he was too short. He was only a little more than a meter tall. His body was thin, and his hair was messy. Compared to his short body, his head seemed a little bigger. His skin was dark, and he wore ragged clothes that barely covered his body. His feet stepped on the ground, and his body gave off a faint smell of something burning.
Ling Chen and the short man almost collided head on. The two of them stood facing each other with a shocked expression. After staring at each other for a full 3 seconds, the short man jumped back as if he had been pricked by a needle, shouting in panic: "You, you, you … Who are you?!!!!!!!!!!!! How did you get in? Someone come quickly! Someone from another race has come in! "
Although this person was thin and short, his voice was quite loud. This panicked shout was like poking a hornet's nest. The originally quiet stone room was immediately thrown into chaos. More than ten similarly thin and short people rushed out and stood not far from Ling Chen. They looked at Ling Chen in shock, as if they were looking at a monster that had suddenly fallen from the sky … And that was the truth. They had sealed themselves, and had not seen any other living beings since they were born. The appearance of Ling Chen was equivalent to an alien to them.
Looking at the dozen or so people in front of him, the tallest of whom was no more than 1.2 meters tall, dark and small, but exceptionally strong, there was no longer any doubt in his heart.
"That's right! They are indeed dwarves! This is really a big surprise. " Qi Yue shouted the answer that Ling Chen had already confirmed in his heart, but immediately, she muttered to herself in doubt, "Strange, although dwarves are short, they are not thin. Instead, they are obviously very strong. Why are these dwarves as thin as monkeys?"
The dwarves were a race that was intelligent, proud, kind, and hardworking in the legends that Ling Chen had heard. They were born engineers, especially in the field of forging. Their talents were unparalleled. However, it was also because of their wisdom and talent that they had suffered countless disasters … In the distant past, wars broke out everywhere in the Moon God Continent, and equipment was undoubtedly an extremely important factor in determining victory or defeat. A large number of dwarves were captured, imprisoned, and forced to forge the best weapons for them … This included humans. Because the dwarves did not have any talent for fighting, they did not have the ability to resist humans. The greed and ugliness of human nature had been displayed in front of the Dwarves back then …
In the end, the dwarves chose to hide themselves, and went to a place where they would not be found by other races. A large part of the reason why they hid themselves was because of the humans. Because of this, after so many years, no one in the Forgotten Continent was able to forge a Mysterious God grade equipment. Even the Heaven's End grade equipment was extremely rare.
"Hello, Dwarf friends." Ling Chen greeted them very naturally. It seemed that all he could do was casually greet them.
To Ling Chen, encountering the dwarves was a surprise, but to the dwarves, encountering Ling Chen was a great shock. This was because no outsider had ever stepped into this place before.
"He's … a human!" One of the dwarves pointed at Ling Chen as he cried out.
All of the dwarves looked deeply panicked. The person in front of them was exactly the same as the humans in the records. In the records, most of the humans were greedy and ugly, and had wanted to enslave the entire dwarf clan. Now that a human had entered this place, this meant that the dwarves' home had been discovered! Perhaps what awaited them was a terrifying disaster! The dwarves would never have a day of peace again.
"A human … a human has found us!" One of the dwarves cried out in panic.
"Quick! Hurry and inform the chief! "The dwarves all picked up their long metal rods, their faces filled with panic and wariness. Evidently, they were not good at fighting, and it seemed that they had never fought before. Their actions were completely subconscious in front of Ling Chen.
Ling Chen stood there without moving, nor did he continue forwards. The dwarves' reactions were within his expectations. Their home, which had been peaceful for more than 10,000 years, had an outsider enter. It was normal for them to fall into chaos. Just as he was thinking about how to calm the dwarves down, a coarse voice sounded out, "Everyone, don't panic. He's a guest gifted to us by our guardian god."
As this voice sounded out, all of the Dwarves fell silent. The crowd parted, and an elderly Dwarf with white hair and a white beard walked out. He was wearing a black robe and holding a walking stick. As he walked, he looked at Ling Chen, but he didn't seem as panicked as the other Dwarves. The Dwarves respectfully stood to the side and made way for him.
The elderly Dwarf stopped when he was 5 steps away from Ling Chen, and said in a serious tone, "Hello, guest from the outside world. I am the current chief of the Dwarf Clan, Dilo. Although you've entered by yourself, I welcome you. "
Although the Elf Chief's face was quite pale, his eyes were not cloudy at all, and they were filled with wisdom. Ling Chen nodded and politely replied, "Hello, Chief Dilo. My name is Ling Tian. Apologies for disturbing your peace."
"You're our Dwarf Clan's first guest in 10,000 years. However, since you're our guardian god's guest, I'm sure you're not an evil person, "Dilo said calmly.
The guardian god he was referring to was most likely the Mountain Giant. The Dwarves knew about the Mountain Giant's existence, and it was most likely the Mountain Giant who had told this Dwarf Chief about him. Thinking to there, Ling Chen said sincerely, "Dwarf friends, please don't worry. I don't have any ill intentions, and unless you all agree, I won't tell anyone about this place."
Hearing that Ling Chen was someone approved by the 'Guardian God', the nervous Dwarves all relaxed. Evidently, they trusted the Mountain Giant very much.
"So, human friend, what is your purpose for coming here?" Dilo asked.
"I'm looking for something," Ling Chen replied straightforwardly.
"Looking for something?" Dwarf Chief Dilo frowned, "What do you want to find?"
Ling Chen thought for a moment before replying, "It's a round orb. I'm unable to describe its name, but I can confirm that it's in one of your palaces. If you let me in, I'll be able to find it immediately. "
"I'm very sorry, guest from the outside world, but I have to refuse your request." After hearing Ling Chen's words, Dwarf Chief Dilo immediately shook his head, "The palaces are our Dwarf Clan's most sacred places. Our ancestors told us that unless it's our closest friends, we can't let outsiders enter. Moreover, the things in the palaces are our Clan's most precious treasures, and even people from our Clan can't casually take them away. "
Ling Chen: "… …"
Just as Ling Chen was about to finish speaking, Qi Yue suddenly said, "Hehe, little master, don't be in such a hurry. Let me tell you some of the Dwarf Clan's secrets."
"Dwarf Clan's secrets? What secrets? "
"Little master, do you know … what the Dwarf Clan's two hobbies are?"
"… …"
"One is blacksmithing. Every single one of them has been madly pursuing high-level blacksmithing all their lives. They have the ability and talent to do so, but they often lack high-grade materials to complete high-grade forging. If they have high-grade materials in front of them, they'll go crazy with excitement, and they'll be willing to give up all of their principles and beliefs. If they can get their hands on super high-grade materials and forge at a super high level, they'll enjoy the pleasure of continuous orgasm throughout the whole process. "
Ling Chen: "… …"
After hearing Qi Yue's words, Ling Chen knew what he was hinting at … high-grade materials? He wondered if the ones he had found through Little Gray counted as high-grade materials.
"Ahem," Ling Chen calmly said, "Chief Dilo, don't worry, I definitely won't do anything that will make you unhappy. I've come with enough sincerity, and I hope to become your Dwarf Clan's' closest friend '. "
While speaking, Ling Chen rummaged through his bag for a while, and took out two brightly coloured stones in his hand.
The two stones had beautiful inscriptions on them, and they were transparent and gave off a rainbow-coloured light. The instant that Ling Chen took out the two stones, all of the Dwarves' gazes fell on them, unable to look away.
"This light, this feeling … this is … that's right! These are Rainbow Agate! A seven-colored agate would only appear in one out of every three hundred thousand agate stones! Using this kind of Agate Stone, you can create the most beautiful decorations in the world! " A Dwarf said as he stared at the Rainbow Agate Stone in Ling Chen's hands, his eyes burning with passion, and his voice trembling with excitement.
This voice caused all of the Dwarves to wake up. Immediately, a large number of Dwarves rushed over to Ling Chen, staring at the Agate Stone in Ling Chen's hands. Some of the Dwarves even started to drool, and even Chief Dilo's face twitched as his eyes burned with passion.
Why were they so excited over just a Rainbow Agate? Ling Chen smirked. Out of all of the strange stones that Little Gray had found, the Rainbow Agate seemed to be the most useless. Ling Chen put away the Rainbow Agate, and took out the Spatial Stone that had allowed him to escape from the Lunar Sky Hell.
Whoosh!
The instant that the Spatial Stone appeared, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck down on the Dwarves, causing them to go into an uproar. These Dwarves all had high talent in forging, and were familiar with all sorts of strange stones. They instantly recognised what Ling Chen had taken out.
"Heavens!! A Spatial Stone!! That's a Spatial Stone!! "
"This sort of mysterious spatial aura, this sort of feeling that makes people want to go crazy … that's right! That's definitely a Spatial Stone that I could only dream of! I've actually seen a real Spatial Stone! "
Facing the Spatial Stone, the Dwarves were like a group of children, and they desperately hugged each other, trying to get closer to the Spatial Stone.
The Spatial Stone only appeared in Ling Chen's hands for a few seconds before being put away. He then flipped his wrist, and Chiyang Xuanjin appeared in his hands. A faint golden light was reflected in all of the Dwarves' eyes.
At that moment, it was as if the whole world froze. Every dwarf's eyes widened so much that their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. The muscles on their faces twitched violently, and their eyes were filled with shock, disbelief … and madness that could go out of control at any moment.
"Crimson … Crimson Sun … Mysterious Gold!!"
The trembling voice came from Dwarf Chief Dilo. His lips trembled, and his voice was so shaky that it was difficult to hear what he was saying.
His words caused all of the Dwarves to come back to their senses, and the situation instantly went out of control …
One of the Dwarves rushed over to Ling Chen with a speed that surpassed his limit. He couldn't stop himself in time, and knelt there. Before he stood up, he hugged Ling Chen's leg as he loudly cried, "Chiyang Xuanjin! Chiyang Xuanjin!! Please give this Chiyang Xuanjin to me to forge … I'll agree to anything you ask of me, and I'll do anything for you … "
"No! Human friend, give it to me … give it to me! My forging skills are the strongest here … as long as you give me that Chiyang Xuanjin, I'll use it to forge any equipment you want for free. I'll provide all of the other materials … trust me, you have to choose me … "
"… As long as you give it to me to forge, I'll be your personal blacksmith in the future. I'll do anything you ask of me …"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way … Ah ah! My human friend, my respect for you is as endless as the surging river. As long as you are willing to hand over that piece of Chiyang Xuanjin to me to forge … you will be my biological father in the future ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "
Ling Chen: "! @ # ¥% … "
Facing Chiyang Xuanjin, these dwarves suddenly seemed to have gone mad. Their eyes shone brightly as they fiercely stared at him, as if they wanted to swallow him whole. The dwarves' crazed desire for high-grade forging materials had completely exceeded his expectations.
"Shut up! All of you, shut up! What a disgrace! How shameful! " Dwarf Chief Dilo roared. After yelling five times, the berserk Dwarves finally calmed down. However, their eyes were still fixated on Chiyang Xuanjin in Ling Chen's hands.
After yelling, Dwarf Chief Dilo walked over to Ling Chen and looked at him with a burning gaze, causing Ling Chen's hairs to stand on end, "Friend! Human friend! You're indeed our Dwarf Clan's closest friend. As long as you're willing, you can enter our palace at any time … no, no, no, no, I'll personally take you there. "
Ling Chen: "… …"
