Chapter 872: The Dwarven King

(Unedited)

…

The news of a human trader coming to the secret dwarven kingdom has already reached the king. Right at this moment, inside the huge castle made of sturdy large stones, a group of dwarves wearing long robes that made them look like small scholars are currently sitting behind a long dark brown wooden table.

"What is your take of this… 'merchant'?" the dwarf with a strong warrior's aura asked the person beside him.

This is the king of the dwarven kingdom, King Aboros Stonebreaker. He is a member of the Stonebreaker family that became the most influential family in the dwarven kingdom after the fall of the previous monarch's family, the Mineros family.

According to the annals of the dwarven kingdom's history, the Mineros family fell after the great mage king of the dwarves fell in the hands of their enemies. The royal family at that time escaped and immediately changes their family names and no one ever saw the Mineros family ever again.

And so, after a long fight between the nobles, the Stonebreaker family won and became the family that would sit on the throne.

And right now, the strongest in the Stonebreaker family is Aboros Stonebreaker, a 40th level warrior.

However, the strength and power of the dwarves are not that great as a whole compare to the other races living in the Dragon's Ridge, so they decided to hide in this underground world where they could rule without restraint. The village outside is their first connection to the outer world, and they have more. However, the village was destroyed, so they decided to focus on their other connection.

But what they did not expect is that there would be someone who would emerge from that path and a human at that.

"He was brought in by Loombwark Diggingsons, she accompanied him inside." one of the dwarven high ministers said.

"So you are telling me that the child Loom is able to break the protective barrier or know the code of the hidden gate? Hahaha… Impossible!" another high minister said while waving his hands in the air.

"I agree… That child is not a part of the royal family. Only the Stonebreaker family knows the key to enter our domain."

"Then how can you explain the situation? Don't tell me that the human has the ability to open the protective gate? That is impossible!"

"Then… how can we explain this!"

The crowd of high dwarven ministers began to argue on how the human was able to enter the secret kingdom. In fact, the human calling himself Master Shin is not the first non-dwarf that has entered the kingdom. So the dwarves are not that worried.

However, their only concern is the path he has entered into. That path is a secured path that has been locked ever since the incident happened.

As the meeting became rowdy the forehead of the king creased as he massages his temples. He was too swamped with problems ever since the fall of the dwarven village. The village is a great source of food for the kingdom and without the village, they would find it hard to transport the food inside as the other paths are not that wide and some are even inaccessible using carriages.

Hence the food coming to the kingdom is taking a long time yet the consumption is huge.

They can only rely on things that they can find inside the cave, yet most of those things are inedible or poisonous. The beasts on the other hand are high level and there are no low-level beasts in the area.

With the current problem, their food supply is already slowly dwindling and their only choice later would be to open the village once again.

But the problem with that are the Scavengers. Since those bastards are able to sack their village easily once, the dwarves knew that they would do it once again.

Hence, they are reluctant to suffer such humiliation and disaster for the second time.

"This human… What does he want to trade with us?!" suddenly the king shouted to interrupt his high ministers.

Upon hearing his question, everyone kept their silence.

The dwarven high minster sitting next to the king's right corner takes out something from his sleeves and showed it to the king.

"This is something that the head of the Dwarven Merchant Association has given me. He told me that he has come into a negotiation with the human and the human is able to provide at least 10,000 of these every day…" the high minister said as he put the canned meat on the table in front of the king.

The person standing behind the king steps forward and carefully checks the canned meat. Upon seeing that there is no problem on the surface, that person carefully opened the lid.

Then suddenly a delectable aroma wafted through the air making everyone gasped in disbelief. Their eyes are glued to the object that the person is holding.

"How… how could such delicious aroma exist… This is…"

"It's beast meat!…"

Then that person slowly picks a piece of cooked meat inside the can and carefully takes a small slice. He was a bit hesitant but as one of the king's trusted guards, he did not hesitate to take a taste of the meat.

Everyone is waiting for the result as they watch the king's guard seriously. They wanted to know the result immediately.

However, the guard has no reaction as if he was stunned by what he just ate. The person sitting on the left side of the king showed impatience as he suddenly stood up and grab the canned meat.

He could not wait anymore and the smell was too enticing that it has already made him drool. How could he just sit and wait? So he immediately stood up and decided to taste the meat.

"You're too slow…" he muttered in an annoyed tone.

Then he takes a whole piece of meat. When everyone saw the glistering piece coated in thick aromatic sauce, they all swallowed hard.

Chump! Chump!

The high minister did not hesitate and began to gobble the meat. As he chewed his eyes began to glow, and his expression turned pleasant as if he just tasted the most delicious piece of meat in the world.

Everyone is now sure that the thing is not poisonous and wanted to have a taste of it.

But before they could react, the king suddenly grabs the can and immediately gobbles the whole contents. He even savors the sauce and suddenly licks his mouth in satisfaction.

"This… This is truly amazing… This is high-level beast meat. From what I can feel from the mana flow in my body, this is a 3rd level beast. Hahaha… This is really amazing… Tell this king again, how many of these kinds of food can that human provide us?"

"Your majesty, around 10,000 cans a day." the dwarf on the right answered.

He knew that this would be the reaction of the king. He himself has tasted this meat and he knew of its quality and value.

"Hmm… That is too little…"

"Can we get the knowledge on how they were able to make such a thing?" the king asked.

"We are currently in cooperation your majesty. I think the human might be able to provide us with that knowledge with the right compensation…"

"Good… I want the production knowledge… If we need to use force, use force… This is the only way our dwarven race can survive. Hahaha…"

"Yes, your majesty…"

…

While this is happening, Shin Jiao and Loom has already taken her mother to a small house made of bricks.

Warkita is still showing a pale complexion and weakness as she lies in the bed. Loom immediately began preparing food, while Shin Jiao and Warkita are inside the only room inside the house.

She is currently lying on the bed with her back exposed.

Shin Jiao has taken out some silver needles from his dimension, and also some healing herbs. He divides his attention into two. One is concocting the antidote while he carefully inserted the needles on Warkita's pale skin.

After 30 minutes of work, a slight trace of black sludge began to ooze out from the skin point where the silver needles are inserted. The room began to produce pungent a smell with some level of toxicity. Then light green gas began to come out from the black sludge.

"Hmm… The poison is not ordinary. They really did a great job in concealing this… if you have just died normally, then this thing would become a plague…" Shin Jiao said as he could feel the strange bacteria trying to invade his body.

But how could those microscopic things escape Shin Jiao's senses? With the aura surrounding his body, every time the light green smoke touches him, they would immediately die.

"Hmm… I have to disinfect this room afterward…" he muttered as he continues the treatment.

Right at this moment, outside the house, a large number of cavalry suddenly arrives.
