Chapter 38: 38: Taming the young dwarf

'Ding,

Mission 'Buy the young dwarf' completed.

Just as his eyes landed on the fearful young dwarf, Lucas got the system notification regarding the completion of the mission.

'Ding,

Do you want to awaken the young dwarf's talent now?

At the same time, he got the system notification asking him whether he wanted to awaken the dwarf's talent.

'Wait. It's not time.'

Lucas already had a plan for it as he slowly went to the cage and opened its door.

"N...no. Don't come near me."

However, the young dwarf was so fearful that he was pushing the cage to the other end, making Lucas shake his head.

"What will you do if I come near?"

Lucas asked the young dwarf with a scoff.

"I...I will kill myself?"

The young dwarf stammered a little as he used a long piece of cloth to wrap his neck and he was ready to kill him.

'Huh?'

Lucas frowned seeing the actions of the young dwarf and after thinking for a moment, he threw his rank 1 short sword towards the young dwarf, "A brave dwarf should at least die by a weapon; instead of a piece of cloth."

After he said those words, Lucas folded his hands as he looked at the young dwarf with a slight smile on his face.

"Huh?"

This time, it was the young dwarf who frowned because previously whenever he said those words, no human came towards him and just left him alone.

However, the human in front of him was clearly supporting him in commit suicide.

"Go on. If you don't kill yourself in a minute, I will kill you myself."

Lucas urged the young dwarf to kill himself, making the young dwarf sweat a lot.

'What's with this human? Is he going to waste 10000 gold coins just lke that? Is he not going to train me?'

The thing is, the young dwarf already knew that whoever bought him would make him a slave for weapon refining once he was capable of refining the weapons. So, before that could happen, he wanted to make the human who bought him to stay within his limits while allowing him to do whatever he wanted to do.

As for the fearful expression on his face, that was just an act he had put on to fool the humans.

However, too bad for him that his new master is Lucas.

"Okay. Time is up."

After one minute, Lucas walked towards the small cage and picked up the short sword lying on the ground.

"Since you are so fearful to even kill yourself, I will help you do it."

With an evil smile on his face, Lucas kicked the small cage a couple of times which destroyed the cage.

'I need to run away now.'

Even though the young dwarf was clever, he was just too young and seeing the evil look on Lucas' face, he was scared shitless and fell to his knees.

"Master human, please spare me. I will diligently train and become a good weapon refining for you."

Soon, he started begging and said many things like 'I will do anything for his new master's family', 'If the master asks him to refine 100 weapons, he would do 101.'

Right now, all he wanted was to convince Lucas about his usefulness.

"Are you once again putting the fearful expressions on your face to fool me?"

Lucas scoffed at the young dwarf because he already knew that the young dwarf's fearful expression was just an act.

As for how he knew it, that was all an act because he had seen it hundreds of times if not a thousand in his past life.

"No...no..no master human. I am really not putting on an act. I really want to live and don't want to die."

The young dwarf hurriedly shook his head as he replied.

"Herbert, you can leave now."

Lucas didn't say anything to the young dwarf; instead, he asked the old butler to leave the basement.

"Yes, master."

Nodding his head, the old man left.

"I know you don't want to die yet as you want to take revenge. Previously, I didn't know that; however, a few moments ago, I saw it in your eyes."

After the old man left the basement, Lucas became serious as he looked at the young dwarf before asking, "Who do you want to take revenge against? The evil beasts from the portal? Or the adventurer's guild? Or against the entire human race for making you a slave?"

It is never to be underestimated, anyone. This was the lesson he learned in his past life.

Before the mysterious organization trained him, he never thought he had the potential to become a deadly assassin that was feared by many.

Moreover, in this world, a young dwarf who can awaken a top weapon refining talent is never to be estimated because once his talent awakens, he might even gain the ability to break the seal placed inside him.

"It is the weapons pavilion."

The young dwarf clenched his fists as he shouted back at Lucas and continued, "All the weapons pavilion from the Barren firmament used some kind of artifact to open the evil portal in our town. I want to destroy them. They massacred my entire town just because of our weapon refining talent. I...I have to do something to take revenge."

The young dwarf started crying as he finished his words.

"Huh? Weapons pavilion?"

Lucas was doubting the destruction of the dwarf town was related to the weapons pavilion; however, he was still surprised how the weapons pavilion was able to fool the adventurer's guild.

"Yes, human master."

The young dwarf was still on his knees as he requested, "Master, all I want is your support in providing sufficient cultivation resources and I will try my best to refine the weapons to repay your help."

"You want to go against the weapons pavilion?"

Lucas could see the determination in the young dwarf's eyes; however, it was not time for him to be sympathetic, which he basically lacked for others except for his brother.

"So, let me ask you a question."

With a serious look on his face, Lucas asked, "How long can you wait for revenge?"

According to Lucas, patience is a must to have quality if anyone wants to take revenge.

"As soon as I awaken my talent..."

"You will be killed before you could even enter the gates of the Silverstone town's weapons pavilion, not to mention the royal city's weapons pavilion."

Before the young dwarf could finish his words, Lucas interrupted him as he scoffed at the thought of the young dwarf.

"I will help you with how to deal with the weapons pavilion and in return, I want your absolute loyalty."

"Master, as I said I will give you my absolute loyalty."

"I heard there is some dwarven chant that allows a dwarf to become a particular family's weapon refiner and I want you to become that weapon refiner for my family."

"What?"

The young dwarf was shocked by Lucas' words as he looked at Lucas in a new light.
