Chapter 873: The Accusations

(Unedited)

…

BAM!

Loom was a bit surprised to see the large number of dwarven soldiers who suddenly barge inside the house. She was caught off-guard and was in the process of cooking some food for her mother. Loom did not have a chance to do anything and was immediately caught by some soldiers as they drag her outside.

"What? What is the meaning of this?" she shouted as she tried to fight back.

However, the soldiers got hold of her tightly and her hands were immediately tied with ropes.

The rest of the soldiers rushed in and enter the only room inside the house.

BAM!

The door broke and three dwarven soldiers jumped inside.

What greeted them is a thick green smoke that almost covered everything inside the room. They were all taken aback but did not bother with it.

They tried to fan the smoke to try and look at the surroundings but to their surprise, there is no one inside the room.

"Sir, there are no people inside!" shouted one of the soldiers as they walk out.

The light green smoke is still coming out of their bodies and slowly spreads in the air towards the rest of the soldiers.

"Damn it! How could this happen? I thought they were inside the house. We have to capture those two… Take this one to the barracks…" the soldier which seems to be the leader of the group commanded.

Suddenly, Loom feels something pricking her skin.

She frowns and then looks at her wrist. There she saw that a silver needle is inserted into her fair skin. She then looks around and tried to find the source of the silver needle. She knew that the needle belongs to Master Shin.

Why he strike her with the needle? That she did not know.

Suddenly, she could feel her body slowly getting weaker, and then she fell to the ground.

"Sir, she suddenly became unconscious!"

When the leader heard this, he turns towards Loom and saw that her complexion turned pale. She seems to have been exposed, bring her quickly.

Loom was carried by the soldiers as they brought her to the barracks. Unknown to them, a faint green smoke is slowly emitting on their bodies and it has now spread through the whole soldiers in the company.

They soon arrive in the Eastern Side of the Castle in the large dwarven city. They immediately threw Loom inside a prison cell and the leader of the soldiers immediately walked towards his commanding officer.

"Reporting! We have lost track of the two, we only got our hands on the young child, Loom."

"What? Did you try and search the area?" the commanding officer asked with a hint of concern.

"Yes, we have… I left some soldiers to monitor the area and see if those two would return… But I think that the child is infected by that thing…"

"Hmmm… You don't have to concern yourself with that. Your mission is of utmost importance, try and find Warkita while spreading the news that Loom has colluded with the human to attack our kingdom… and if you find Warkita, kill her. With Loom in our hands, we can get leverage and could possibly tame those beasts… Let's see if the king can continue to hold on to his throne… Hehe…"

"Commander… Loom should not be harmed… We need to get the plague off her body." suddenly a man standing behind the commander said.

If Loom is here, she could tell who this man is. This is because the man is none other than her own Uncle Holdorf Diggingsons.

"Master Holdorf, you don't have to worry about anything… Our strategy will proceed as planned. This city and kingdom would be enveloped in chaos, and we… we would rise up and become its savior." The commander said.

"Are the alchemist ready?"

"We have created enough of the poison… it would be undetected for 2 days… after that, everyone in the city would be experiencing weakness and then death after 5 days…" Holdorf said with an assuring smile.

"But Warkita lasted for a long time when this was tested on her by you…"

"Well, she ingested just a minute amount of the poison, hence it took almost a weak… But where ever she is right now, she would be dead soon…" Holdorf said with a sinister smile on his face.

"Cruel, too cruel. I did not expect that you would do this to your own cousin. Hahaha…"

"Cousin? She is the shame of our family. Birthing a half-elf… if not for Loom's ability to communicate with the animals, I would have disposed of them both… But it seems that she still has her uses…"

"She is currently infected; you should give her the antidote…"

"Haha… No rush, no rush… we have to make sure that she would cooperate with us before we do anything…"

The two dwarves planned inside the room. Unknown to them, on one of the beams on the roof of the building, a small squirrel is standing still while looking around.

On its head is a small contraption that looks like a helmet.

'Hey, little thing… you should go to the prison, I want to see Loom's condition.' Shin Jiao on the other end of the line.

The squirrel did not hesitate and suddenly move as quickly as lightning as it disappears from the beam and then rushed towards the dungeon.

…

Meanwhile, a piece of news was spread in the dwarven kingdom that the human who enters the city conspired to do malicious things against the citizen, and Loombwark Diggingsons is the conspirator of the human.

As of this moment, the half-elf is at large and being hunted by the soldiers.

This piece of news has also reached the king's ears.

The king was enraged upon hearing this piece of news. He was a bit skeptical about this and immediately called for a council.

The generals and commanders of the dwarven army were called along with the ministers and high ministers.

Inside the palace hall, everyone is already discussing the situation. Some could not believe the news, but others have their doubts.

The high ministers are already hopeful about the trade with the human. However, the news coming from the soldiers in the city is a bit disturbing and they are a bit worried if it is true or not.

If it is true, then their hopes would be dashed and it has instead caused more problems for them. But if it is not, then who is instigating such a rumor, and for what purpose?

As everyone is in a chaotic discussion, the king enters and sits on the throne.

"What is happening?" the king asked in a deep voice.

Everyone turned silent as they did not know if what they would say would anger the king or not. They did not want to be the sacrificial lamb and face the king's wrath.

While everyone is looking at each other without saying anything, one of the dwarven generals suddenly steps forward.

"Your majesty… we have received reports that the human who recently arrives in the city is in league with Miss Loombwark… they are planning to attack our kingdom. I suggest that we should stop them immediately…"

When the general said this, the rest of the minister's expression turned solemn. They did not want to say anything…

"General, I am aware of your stance… However, I wanted to remind you all that the human is able to pass the most dangerous hidden chamber and is a friend to the Elemental Dragon as the survivor said. If he truly wanted to attack our kingdom that human would not just snoop around and even offer us a lucrative deal…" suddenly someone from behind said as he walks forward.

This dwarf is Hoodwig Logmaster, the head of the Dwarven Merchant association. As a merchant, he is well-informed about what is happening in the city. Nothing can escape his ears. Plus, he could not let these fools destroy the relationship with that human. He clearly knew how important that human is.

"Master Hoodwig, we can talk about this later… I just wanted to know what the soldiers are planning to do?…" the king waved the suggestion of Hoodwig and asked the soldiers instead.

Hoodwig was surprised and it seems that he could not believe what he just heard. But he did not say anything after that.

When some of the commanders and generals saw the reaction of the king, they showed a faint smile on their faces. How could they not know the attitude of their king?

Aboros Stonebreaker is a king that loves to impose his authority over others. If anyone tries to intrude on his territory without permission, no matter what benefit he could get, his action would be to destroy those who plot against him.

And this is the reason why they decided on the accusation of Loombwark to be treason. With this and the fake evidence they have, they are sure that the foolish king would fall for their tricks and would surely fall for their traps.

With the current reaction of the king, many of the people in the hall are now gloating in their hearts.

They knew that their plan just succeeded. They only need a little push.

With that in mind, the general who reported suddenly took a step forwards and open his mouth.
