"In the outside world, we'll be able to use our talents, and we'll be able to eat flatbread every day … ai, that's right." Dwarf Chief Dilo repeated Ling Chen's words as he sadly shook his head, "Little brother, do you think that even though we're hiding here, we don't have any dignity, and we're living like we're dead? Do you think that rather than living in pain, it's better to leave with dignity … even if the outside world is still dangerous?"
Ling Chen did not say anything.
"Back then, if it wasn't for the fact that our ancestor had given up all hope, he wouldn't have led his clan to hide here. At that time, he must have known what the consequences would be if his entire clan stayed here. Back then, our ancestors only had one reason for hiding … and that was to survive so that we dwarves wouldn't slowly walk towards extinction amidst oppression, cruelty, and slavery. Even if it was painful after hiding, and we lived without dignity, we had to grit our teeth and live on. Dignity and dignity are important, but forging and delicious food are even more important … however, if the entire Dwarf Clan is gone, those things that are more important than our lives would be a joke, "Dilo said as he sighed.
Ling Chen earnestly replied, "I know a bit about what happened back then. Back then, the Forgotten Continent was in a period of turmoil. Outlanders fought against Outlanders, and people of the same race fought against each other. However, the current Forgotten Continent is completely different to what it was back then. The Demon Beast Clan has been destroyed, and the remaining Demon Beasts have all gone into hiding, not daring to come out. The other clans all have their own territories … the humans, the Beast Clan, the Underworld, the Devil Realm, the Sea Clan … they all follow the rules set by the Moon Deities, and there hasn't been any large-scale battles in the Forgotten Continent for over 100 years. I'm sure that if your Dwarf Clan walks out of here and reappears in the Forgotten Continent, you won't just be enslaved, but protected. "
"Moreover …" Ling Chen's gaze swept across all of the Dwarves as he slowly said, "The Forgotten Continent is incredibly vast, and there are countless treasures within it. The forging materials that I've brought can be found all over the Forgotten Continent. Don't you want to collect large amounts of rare treasures, unleash all of your talents, and freely forge high-grade items?! You like good food, and the flatbread you just ate is one of the most common foods in the Forgotten Continent. In the Forgotten Continent, there are countless delicacies that are even more delicious than flatbread and seafood soup waiting for you. Don't you want to be accompanied by delicacies that are even more delicious than flatbread every day? "
Ling Chen's words hit all of the Dwarves' weak spots. High-grade forging materials and delicacies were the 2 things that the Dwarves pursued the most, and they were their greatest pursuits. Hearing Ling Chen's words, all of the Dwarves' eyes were filled with desire, including Dilo and Dita … however, what surprised Ling Chen was that not a single Dwarf responded to his words.
"Little Brother, what you've just said is something we've always dreamed of. But … but we can't ignore the teachings of our ancestors. Because our ancestor's teachings say … If we don't listen to our ancestor's teachings and rashly leave this place, then the Dwarf Clan will suffer an irrecoverable calamity in a short period of time. At that time, the Dwarf Clan will completely disappear from this world without a trace. As such, we simply can't. If we leave because of a moment of desire, and the teachings of our ancestors come true, we will become the greatest sinners of the Dwarf Clan, and we won't be able to face our ancestors in the afterlife. "
"Did your ancestors say that you can't leave this place forever?" Ling Chen asked, feeling quite depressed. At the same time, he inwardly cursed at their ancestors. Even in death, they wouldn't let their descendants live in peace.
"No, it's not that they won't let us leave forever." Dilo shook his head as he said, "According to the records, back then, our ancestors went to a place called the Heaven's Secrets Sect, and asked the Sect Leader of the Heaven's Secrets Sect how to ensure the Dwarf Clan's future."
"Heaven's Secrets Sect?" Ling Chen subconsciously said. That was where Su 'Er was.
"Looks like little Brother has heard of the Heaven's Secrets Sect. According to the records, the Heaven's Secrets Sect was the head of the Night Demon Clan's 3 Divine Gates, and the Night Demon Clan was a powerful clan that could rival the Moon Deities. The Heaven's Secrets Sect's battle power was only average, but they had the ability to see through Heaven's Secrets. As such, no one dared to doubt the words of the Heaven's Secrets Sect's Sect Leader. After returning from the Heaven's Secrets Sect, our ancestor resolutely chose to live in seclusion and passed down the warning of the Heaven's Secrets Sect's Sect Master to the next generation. Unless the Dwarf Race can fulfill three conditions, they will never be able to leave this place. "
"3 conditions? What conditions? "Ling Chen asked. He had followed Su 'Er's words to come here, and had successfully found an orb. Su 'Er had only just come into contact with the Heaven's Secrets Sect, and yet she was able to do such a thing. As such, Ling Chen no longer doubted the Heaven's Secrets Sect. If those words really came from the Heaven's Secrets Sect, then … he wouldn't be able to convince himself to doubt them.
"Ai." Dilo gave a long sigh, and beside him, Dita's expression was also quite dim. It was obvious how difficult those three conditions were, and how unrealistic they were. It was as if they were impossible to fulfill. "The first of the 3 conditions … is to have the Fairy Clan by our side."
"Fairy Clan? Why? "Ling Chen asked in shock.
"Because the Fairy Clan is the kindest and most peace-loving clan in the Forgotten Continent. Before we went into seclusion, only the Fairy Clan didn't have any greedy thoughts towards us, and instead protected us. At the same time, the Fairy Clan's Fairies are incredibly powerful. If we can have the Fairy Clan by our side, they'll be our most reliable friends, and they'll give us the best protection. It's just that … "Dilo shook his head in disappointment," If we can't leave this place, how can we have the Fairy Clan by our side? It seems that this will forever be a beautiful dream, but it'll never be fulfilled. "
Ling Chen thought for a moment before asking, "Then, what's the second condition?"
"The second condition is even more hopeless. The second condition left behind by our ancestor is … to find a way to forge the 'Underworld God Cannon'. "
Ling Chen: (⊙ o ⊙)!!
Hearing the words' Underworld God Cannon ', all of the Dwarves' expressions became serious, and they revealed looks of longing. Dilo continued to speak, "Little brother, I told you before that our Dwarf Clan's ancestor forged a Forbidden Weapon that's even more powerful than Saint Destroyer weapons. That's right, it's the 'Underworld God Cannon' that I just mentioned. The Underworld God Cannon was forged by over 1,900 ancestors of my race for a race called the Underworld. It is a 'god-slaying' weapon. Legend has it that its power can even destroy a true god. The reason why our Dwarf Clan is bullied by others is because we're weak. If the Dwarf Clan could have such a God-Killing Weapon, who would dare to bully us like that? However, the 1,900 ancestors who had forged the Underworld God Cannon had all died in the Heavenly Tribulation the moment the Underworld God Cannon was completed. Not a single one of them had survived … However, one of the ancestors who had forged the Underworld God Cannon had said before his death that he had secretly left behind a blueprint for the Underworld God Cannon. If … if we can obtain that blueprint, perhaps we really might be able to forge the Underworld God Cannon. However … ai … "
Dilo sighed … it was something that they couldn't even think about. They didn't even know what kind of race the Underworld was, nor did they know where it was.
Ling Chen's expression became strange as he calmly asked, "Then, what's the third condition?"
"The third condition …" Dilo's face suddenly became red, and his eyes became much brighter. He slightly raised his head, a look of longing in his eyes, "It's a pot! It's a pot that can cook the most delicious food under the heavens! Our ancestor's third condition was that we could find that pot! Let our Dwarf Clan taste the most delicious food under the heavens! "
"A pot that can cook the most delicious food under the heavens? By the way … what's the name of that pot? "Ling Chen vaguely thought of something, carefully asking.
"It's called … the Handsome Pot!"
Ling Chen's legs became weak, and his body swayed as he almost hit his head on the ground, "The … The Handsome Pot? Are … are you sure? "
"How is it? Are you shocked by the domineering name of the pot? " Dilo looked at Ling Chen's reaction, and a look of longing appeared on his face, "The legends say that the Handsome Pot can be made big or small, and contains many secrets. As long as we know how to use it, even the simplest ingredients can be made into delicious food. The only ones who know how to cook the Handsome Pot are us Dwarves! Little brother, did you know? Everyone knows about our forging abilities, but they don't know that we're the best gourmets in the world! Our talent in cooking is not inferior to our talent in forging. It's just that … ai … the Handsome Pot is just a legend. Even our ancestor has only heard of its name, but has never seen it before. "
Ling Chen was completely speechless, and the expressions on his face continuously changed.
The three conditions that the Dwarf Clan's ancestor had given – the Fairy Clan, the Underworld God Cannon, and the Handsome Pot – no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like they were made for him!
Not long ago, he had found the Fairy Clan, who had also been in hiding for a long time, and had even broken through their barrier.
Not long ago, he had bought a blueprint from the Qian Gungun – the blueprint for the Underworld God Cannon!
Even the Handsome Pot was with him! He had stolen it from the Lucky Cat!
"Only by fulfilling these three conditions can our Dwarf Clan be able to see the light of day again. Otherwise, our entire Dwarf Clan will be destroyed. This was what our ancestor said, as well as the Heaven's Secrets Sect Leader's words. We can't go against them. Our ancestor also said that if anyone can help us fulfill these three conditions, our entire Dwarf Clan will have to listen to them. That person will lead our Dwarf Clan to unprecedented heights. It's just that it's been far, far too long … "Dwarf Chief Dilo shook his head as he gave a long sigh.
"Don't be too pessimistic. Who knows, there might soon be someone who fulfills the three conditions left behind by your ancestors." Ling Chen said slowly as he rubbed his nose.
"Haha, thank you for your kind words," Dwarf Chief Dilo said as he chuckled.
"Alright, I'll be taking my leave then."
Ling Chen did not stay any longer. After saying goodbye to the Dwarf Clan, he left.
