《Armipotent 》Chapter 594: Offer - Part 1
Advertisement
Chief of the dwarf was much more polite than he thought. He thought the dwarves hated humans from how the guard reacted to him. With Chief Engin directly greeting him, he entered the settlement with no problem.
The underground settlement was a giant tunnel with many pillars supporting the ceiling. The surprise behind the settlement was the glowing pillar. Yes, the pillar was glowing bright, becoming the source of the lighting for the people living in the underground settlement.
The paved street connected the districts. This underground settlement was much larger than he thought. 'Don't tell me they built this in four days?' Because if the dwarves dwelled in this underground all the time, Aki should be able to find them much earlier.
Seeming to be able to read his mind, Chief Engin opened his mouth. "Yes, we built this underground settlement in four days. We have never stayed in one place for too long. So we built many underground settlements in Gigante Forest."
They were more like a nomadic tribe that comprised dwarves. "But why don't you guys settle down in one place instead of moving around?" That was a good question. If they were capable of making this kind of settlement, they should work on territory and fortify that territory instead.
"Settle in one place? Are you joking with us?" Sadrigh replied in a high-pitch voice. "Ah, you propose so you humans can catch us. As expected of humans, cunning."
Tang Shaoyang glanced at the Sadrigh, the only dwarf that did not welcome him. The other dwarves, including the dwarves they met in the street, greeted them with a smile. Just this Sadrigh who was hostile toward them. He must have a beef with the humans.
"I mean, that's much a better choice for you guys if you excel in making an amazing settlement like this. You don't have to build any new settlement, but fortify that settlement instead. Rather than building the same thing over and over, searching for a new building to increase your defense is better." Tang Shaoyang expressed his opinion to the dwarf.

That was what was in his mind when he heard the dwarves kept moving from one place to another.
Sadrigh was about to retort Tang Shaoyang, but Chief Egin glared at the dwarf. Chief Engin then smiled apologetically at Tang Shaoyang. "I am sorry for Sadrigh's rudeness. He has a reason to hate humans, but that's not a good excuse to be rude to a guest we invited. A group of humans can't represent all of humanity, after all."
"I agree with that, but humans need their cunning thought to survive, since we are born weak." Tang Shaoyang did not deny that humans were cunning. That was how it was.
They kept chatting until they arrived at the main building where Chief Engin lived. He noticed one thing about this Dorgon Kingdom. They did not have guards? The only fighter he had seen was Mohren.
"I am sorry for our poor hospitality. We just settled up here for a short time. So we have little food." Chief Engin smiled kindly as two female dwarves served two plates of fruits.
"It's okay. I come here for a talk, not food." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head.
"Then we will get to the main topic directly. I heard you are looking for me. May I ask why are you looking for the dwarves?" Yes, it was not Aki who found the dwarves, but the dwarves who found them. Chief Engin heard that a new rising group was looking for them.
Instead of running away, Chief Engin tried to meet with the representative to determine the opposite party's intention. From the way Aki talked to him, they did not come with a bad intention such as slaving them.
"Isn't that obvious? They want to capture us and make us be their slaves. They just want to use our ability for free!" Sadrigh was the one who answered Chief Engin's inquiry.

Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear. "That's actually a good idea. So, do you want to be my slave instead?"
Sadrigh's face changed when he heard that. His face turned ugly as he immediately stood up with his finger pointed at Tang Shaoyang. However, before Sadrigh could say anything, Chief Engin spoke first. "Can you leave us, Sadrigh? Haven't you promised me not to talk?"
Chief Engin's kind smile disappeared. He looked at one of his elders with a solemn expression. The Chief could tell that was Tang Shaoyang's intention. The talk was merely a joke to scare Sadrigh as his Elder had been accusing something they had not done. "Leave us for now and cool your head down!"
Sadrigh's mouth opened, but no words came out. In the end, the Elder turned around and left the building. Chief Engin let out a sigh again and looked toward Tang Shaoyang. The old dwarf wanted to hear Tang Shaoyang's answer.
Tang Shaoyang took out the crystal ball from the dimensional gate and placed it on the table. "I want you to make a new Dimensional Gate with this. I heard the dwarf can make a new dimensional gate as long as I have this. Can you make one for me?"
Chief Engin looked at the crystal orb, then he looked at Tang Shaoyang. He tried to determine the opposite party's actual intention. Even though he was acting polite and friendly, Chief Engin had the same worry as his Elder, Sadrigh. He was afraid the humans would slave them.
Of course, they had made enough preparation to escape from them. If they just wanted something from the dwarf, they could give the thing they wanted and disappear again afterward.
"That's it? Are you not going to ask us to make a weapon for you or armor?" The opposite only wore some casual shirts with no armor. If not for the man's aura, he might think he was just a normal human with no position or power.
"Nope. I don't need armor. That will just hinder my movement, and I have an excellent weapon already. I just want you to make the dimensional gate for me!" Tang Shaoyang shook his head and expressed his purpose.
