1123 Taking in The Dwarf - Part 1



The slave was just a temporary way to solve the current issue, establishing his authority over the dwarves instead of fighting them. Tang Shaoyang wanted to figure out first if these dwarves could be taken out of the tower or not. If they could get out of the tower, then he would bring them with him back to Earth and let them blend into the other dwarves.

"I would rather die than become your slave!" One of the guards reacted strongly and charged toward Tang Shaoyang with the ax.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and caught the ax with his hand. It was like taking a toy from the kid. He took the ax from the angry dwarf. He then reached the dwarf plate armor, raising the guy to the air before slamming the dwarf to the ground. That silenced the dwarf, who was not dying yet. The dwarf was still breathing, merely passing out from the impact.

"Do you still want to fight? Or do you want to call your leader for my offer?"

The five dwarves exchanged glances, nodding, and two of them ran into the cavern. The remaining three guards still had their spears pointed toward Tang Shaoyang. They did not lower their guard even though the invader showed no sign of approaching them.

Five minutes passed. Sounds of footsteps could be heard from the cavern, and soon a group of eleven dwarves came out, with two of them being the two guards from earlier. The two guards pointed their fingers at Tang Shaoyang.

"He is the invader, Chief."

The dwarf called Chief nodded. The Chief scanned the guard on Tang Shaoyang's feet before meeting with Tang Shaoyang's gaze. He took a few steps forward, "I am The Chief of Fog Village, Hulgem. I have heard what happened from my guards, and it seems there's a misunderstanding between us that I wish to clear up."

Tang Shaoyang narrowed his eyes at Chief Hulgem, then he shook his head and said in a flat tone, "You have two choices. Be my slave or be killed. There's no third option."

He used [Detection] on the Chief and found out Hulgem was just Epic Rank. The same with the dwarves behind Chief Hulgem. Three Epic Ranks and the remaining dwarves were level 900 and above.

Chief Hulgem let out a bitter smile, "You can't blame us for defending our village from the intruder, no? We are willing to compensate for the inconvenience we have caused to you and your people."

Before Tang Shaoyang could give his reply, Rosalie and the others arrived at the flat surface. They stayed behind Tang Shaoyang and observed the dwarves' group. Rosalie approached him and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation? No, what do you want to do with them?"

She knew how useful the dwarves were, and she figured out that he might want to take the dwarves under his banner. It was the future issue of whether the dwarves could get out of the tower or not. They would stay in the tower for quite a long time since they needed to climb up to the twenty-fifth floor, the end of the Ancient Rank Tower. These dwarves might be useful for their exploration of the higher floor. That was why she asked him what he wanted to do with the dwarves.

"I told them to be my slave or be killed." He whispered, "I want to assimilate them with the dwarves in our base if possible."

Rosalie rolled her eyes when she heard the first part. But she figured out he wanted to take the dwarves by the fact these dwarves were still alive. The fact the dwarves remained on guard, the threat clearly did not work.

"You don't lose anyone in your group, but we have lost a group of guards at the foot mountain. Compensation is the best we can give you. We, dwarves, are known from the smithing, and we are willing to give each of you our best creation." Chief Hulgem said, looking at the red-haired woman worriedly.

"Lend me your Titan Blade," Rosalie whispered.

Tang Shaoyang did not hesitate to lend the blade to her. She took the blade and tossed it toward Chief Hulgem, "If you can give us the equipment with the same quality, then we are willing to accept the compensation."

Chief Hulgem received the blade, and his face paled slightly. The best creation in his mouth was the Epic Rank Artifact, but the one in his hand was two ranks above the Epic Rank, the Myth Rank Artifact. He had Ancient Rank Artifact, the hammer he used daily for his work. Even that could not match the quality of the blade in his hand.

Chief Hulgem let out a sigh and shook his head, "It's unfortunate that we don't have the same quality Artifact as this blade. The best we could give is Epic Rank Artifact, and that is our best creation. We can't give more than Epic Rank Artifact. Even if we have one, it's still unfair. We lost our people, and we must still compensate for defending our village. The Epic Rank Artifact is the best we can give for the peace of my village."

Rosalie shook her head, having a stern expression on her face, looking straight at Chief Hulgem, "You keep mentioning your loss, but it's not our fault for defending our lives too, no? If you welcome us instead of attacking us when we enter the mountain, this will not happen. Your people attacked us first, and we acted in self-defense."

"We want to avoid the pointless battle, but we don't mind fighting too."

Chief Hulgem scanned the red-haired lady, then he glanced at the red-skinned man. He tried to measure how strong these people were. He and his people might break the chain from the System and get to a high level, but there was a drawback. The System did not give them the free skill, which is also an important skill, [Detection]. He did not know the invaders' rank, and he tried to measure them based on his experience of fighting the monster.

"That means you want to fight because you know that we are not capable of producing the Artifact you want, and we are not afraid of fighting!"
