"Yes! Of course! For example, the situation at the human border, the current state of the Hope Empire, and Lord [Thunder Sword]'s new discoveries! So many!" Becky practically grabbed An Yi's hand to stop him from leaving.
“Okay, then let’s get to the point. I don’t have that much time.” An Yi nodded and sat down again.
We can listen to what's happening on the human borders, but the Empire of Hope is currently being infiltrated by the [King's Hero], and most importantly...
Arya's discovery?
He knew that Arya was saving orcs on the border, and Arya's biggest discovery last time was learning about "demonization".
It should be noted that the hero had been active for almost a year and a half and had not come into contact with any information in this regard.
Instead, it was Arya who investigated and found out about Yu Han: Wu Qi‰. Tumor●±」＄Shan》◎Silk#↓.
Perhaps she will have some information related to "demonic transformation" this time?
Next, Becky seemed to have no intention of keeping things short, maintaining a moderate length of conversation.
It doesn't get to the point in just a few words, nor is it a long-winded explanation.
There is a summary being made, but it's not very concise.
The succubus's abilities could easily explain this in a more concise way.
But it is precisely because they are smart and can control the degree just right that they can spend more time with An Yi without wasting time.
Considering that the succubi usually work very hard and carefully consider and plan their time, An Yi decided to ignore their little schemes for the time being.
He just couldn't understand... why all these succubi liked him so much.
He didn't do anything, mainly.
Isn't he just a complete hands-off manager?
"Then came the discovery made by Lord Thunder Sword after venturing deep into a certain earl's domain..."
While searching for orcs, she encountered a strong creature that resembled a human but was shorter than one.
They were extremely long-lived, and because of their skill in forging, they were enslaved by the demons for nearly a thousand years.
After comparing the data, it was determined that the other party was an ancient intelligent race.
dwarf."
Chapter 83 The White Cat Princess and the Seven Old Dwarfs (4k)
"The dwarves... in the Earl's city?" Annie asked, confirming again with a hint of doubt.
Arya's solo investigation in the Earl's city was dangerous, but Becky's concern for Arya was meaningless.
In contrast, the appearance of dwarves in Earl's City struck Annie as odd.
In the simplest terms, the Elf King's sword was forged in collaboration with the dwarves.
Just like rescuing the orcs, rescuing the dwarves is also an important main quest for the heroes.
The heroes of the past were unable to save the orcs for various reasons, nor did they trigger the main quest to save the orcs.
Hmm... perhaps a small portion of them were triggered?
But the task of saving the dwarves was indeed accomplished.
Once completed, the system will issue an exclusive weapon that can be enhanced and forged.
This is what is commonly referred to as "specialized weapon".
A "white weapon" that can be upgraded, upgraded, and have its attributes changed.
Level up by using it, upgrade its rank by using high-grade materials, change its attributes by inscribing magic, and add weapon-specific skills.
It's no exaggeration to say that, with enough high-quality materials for enhancement, it can actually be used to fight the Demon King.
In the later stages of their lives, the heroes of the past used the corpses of top-tier demon warriors as materials.
An Yi remembered that she had a sword called "Demon Slayer," which was forged using materials from many royal servants and king-level demons.
A sword specifically designed to attack demons; it will activate many special effects when killing demons.
Some of those demon materials were obtained by himself, while others were given to him by the Hero Alliance. He had forgotten exactly how much he used.
That was more than 20 years ago.
Of course, weapon upgrades are also related to the dwarf craftsman's own level.
Like rarity, dwarven artisans are also divided into six tiers.
[Apprentice] [Junior Blacksmith] [Senior Blacksmith] [Grandmaster] [Master Craftsman] [Divine Craftsman]
The highest-level item obtainable through the system is only [Legendary], which is gold or orange.
Higher-grade gold and red items include those of the [Formless] and [Demon Lord's Veil].
However, they are all "hidden items" that only exist in the world.
This hidden sixth level can only be crafted by dwarves at the [Master Craftsman] level.
An Yi can craft legendary items in gold and orange hues herself.
But then again...
Logically speaking, it's highly unlikely that dwarves would appear in Earl's City.
This is a race that was able to resist demons in ancient times, which means that they were dealing with demons at the level of the current Duke City back then.
They should only be able to find it within the Duke's city.
"How did you find out?" Annie asked again.
"Reporting to Lord Dream Master, after infiltrating the slave market, Lord [Thunder Sword] discovered some humanoid creatures whose scent did not resemble that of demons, but were neither beastmen nor humans."
Becky reports;
"Their height is similar to that of humans, but their build is very... robust? Anyway, they are very strong, but they don't look tall."
An Yi nodded gently.
He knew what Becky was trying to say; the dwarves here weren't actually short, it was just that their body proportions made them appear short.
With thick arms and legs, a broad torso and shoulders, and a large head, all of these features are compressed into a height of about 1.7 to 1.9 meters, similar to that of a human, making them appear "short".
To a typical human, a dwarf would appear as a "flattened giant."
If their height doubled, their robust physiques would be much more proportionate.
"Lord Lei Jian noticed their unusual behavior and tried to talk to them."
Because they didn't know what their language was, Lord Thunder Sword initially spoke to them in Orcish...
……
The time came to the day Arya first came into contact with the dwarves.
In the filthy and smelly slave market, there are no sanitation workers to maintain and clean it. Only the slave traders occasionally use magic to clean it up, but it's just a quick and casual effort, and they don't clean the whole street thoroughly.
The streets were dark, but that didn't stop Arya, who had night vision, from searching for her kind.
By the time they arrived in Earl's City, there were very few orcs left to find.
On the contrary, a large number of orcs who have not been corrupted still live in the border areas.
The Earl's City is no longer considered a border town.
Even if there are orcs, they have become so corrupted that they can no longer be considered "of the same race".
Sometimes Arya gets confused.
She had promised to become a "hero of the orcs," but when she encountered a demonized orc, how would she save him, and would she treat him as one of her own kind, or as a demon?
The result after the confusion is—
Severely corrupted orcs can no longer be called "orcs".
They are the [Demon Race], who are hostile to ordinary orcs and will harm lives without cause.
Suddenly, Arya smelled a scent completely different from that of the demons! "∽—0⌒°五～ˇ
They are definitely not demons!
Her sense of smell told her that.
In her sense of smell, the scents of demons could all be categorized into a single "classification".
Just like broad categories like "stinky" and "fragrant," "demon scent" is a separate category.
Whether human or beastman, they all smell different.
This time, however, she smelled a scent that was neither human nor beastman.
Following the scent, she found the cages where slaves were imprisoned, and finally saw the target she was looking for.
Those were several "little giants" leaning dejectedly against the iron cage, their eyes vacant. Their withered white beards, which almost covered half of their faces, and their bald heads proved that they were quite old.
His muscles were still strong, but due to the lack of fat, his skin clung tightly to his muscles, revealing the blood vessels beneath.
Arya looked at these oddly proportioned creatures and had no idea what they were.
She doesn't know any dwarves.
Soon, her gaze settled on the hands of several dwarves...
Their hands all have varying degrees of disability.
Some were missing fingers, some had lost half or the entire palm, and some even had their entire forearm broken or missing.
Upon closer inspection, all seven dwarfs had hand disabilities.
Arya had no idea that they were being sold off cheaply in this city because they had lost their forging abilities.
The slave traders remained silent, only staring at Arya, who was standing in front of the large iron cage, making her way through the area.
Arya didn't even look at the vendor; she always killed the vendors the moment she saved someone.
Give money?
Why do these people have to pay money for their freedom?
She wants the vendors to pay with their lives!
Even if these traders did not directly capture slaves.
