Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate-Chapter 134 - 133: War God’s Hammer
"What did you say? You were exiled from your tribe!?"
The near-deafening shout suddenly erupted at the foot of a mountain.
Lin You looked at the dwarf sitting in front of him, full of shock and having an incredibly sour expression.
Just a moment ago, he brought the dwarf to the surface and put in a great deal of effort to wake him up.
As a result, the dwarf told him.
He was exiled from his tribe!
The news almost made Lin You’s blood boil with rage on the spot.
"So you went up to the volcano to commit suicide because you were exiled?"
Lin You reached up and rubbed his forehead, gritting his teeth with anger.
He thought it would be a chance to make connections, but unexpectedly encountered something like this.
The dwarf also felt quite embarrassed, but he blushed and explained, "Don’t talk nonsense! I wasn’t committing suicide; I just wanted to find Flame Crystals on the volcano to forge the Dwarf Race’s Sacred Artifact!"
"Dwarf Race’s Sacred Artifact? What is that?"
Lin You looked at him again.
"It’s..."
The dwarf instinctively opened his mouth but immediately became alert and looked at Lin You warily.
"Why do you ask? Are you trying to uncover the secrets of the Dwarf Race?"
Originally, dwarves are very wary of humans.
But because Lin You saved him, he appeared relatively amicable towards Lin You, though his internal defensiveness regarding alien races hadn’t diminished much.
Even though he had been exiled from the tribe, it hadn’t changed a bit.
Clearly.
Gaining the trust of the opposite party is not a simple task.
Lin You thought for a moment and then said, "To be honest, I happen to be in need of an artisan, and I’ve heard your Dwarf Race is skilled in crafting, so I came to see if you would be interested in joining me. If you’re willing, I’ll do my best to meet any conditions you have."
Lin You had his considerations when speaking these words.
If he intends to recruit talent, it’s best to be genuine.
And the name of the Dwarf Race Sacred Artifact doesn’t sound simple.
The guy in front of him, if he can forge such a thing, must have impressive crafting abilities, and recruiting him would be a gain.
Unfortunately.
Faced with Lin You’s offer, the dwarf remained unmoved.
"Human, although you saved my life, I’m sorry, but I have my own mission, and I can’t leave here with you."
"Mission?" Lin You asked, "If possible, maybe I can help you."
"You want to help me?" The dwarf looked somewhat surprised.
"That’s natural, but on the condition that you come back with me." Lin You’s lips curled slightly.
"You’re the first human I’ve met who is so unreasonable." The dwarf shook his head helplessly, "But I like your honesty. Unfortunately, even if you want to help me now, it’s probably too late."
"Too late? Why?"
"You’ve seen it; the entire Celestial Flame Kingdom is already covered by erupting volcanoes, even our underground Dwarf Race habitats have been affected and are facing destruction. I can’t abandon my kin at a time like this."
The dwarf’s voice was very low, carrying a trace of unwillingness.
"I intended to rally my kin to leave the habitat and escape to a safe place, but the elders want to defend the habitat to the death. They even accused me of inciting chaos among the kin and exiled me from the habitat. Now we can only forge the Dwarf Race’s Sacred Artifact, the War God’s Hammer, to rally my kin to leave that dangerous place."
"So you planned to gather materials from the volcano to forge the Dwarf Race Sacred Artifact and lead them away from the habitat?" Lin You interjected.
"Exactly, I don’t want my kin to perish in the volcano, so I must forge the War God’s Hammer!"
The dwarf’s eyes were resolute.
He didn’t harbor any resentment or dissatisfaction towards his tribe despite being exiled.
Such sincerity strengthened Lin You’s determination to recruit him.
He then asked, "What do you need to forge this Sacred Artifact? I’ll see if I can help acquire it."
"I have everything except one material containing Flame Essence, the stronger, the better."
"Material containing Flame Essence?"
Lin You paused for a moment, suddenly thinking of something and hesitantly asked, "What if it’s a lotus growing in lava, would that work?"
"Of course it would work! Treasures growing in lava are the most effective, and my chances of successful forging will greatly improve. Have you seen such a thing?" The dwarf asked, surprised.
"I think... I do have one..."
"Really? Where is it? Take me there quickly!"
The dwarf grabbed Lin You’s arm with wide eyes.
Treasures like Flame Supreme Treasure are extremely rare even on the Primordial Continent.
Although he didn’t quite believe Lin You had it, he didn’t want to miss any opportunity.
Lin You didn’t expect his reaction to be so intense and continued, "It’s a lotus I obtained by chance, and it’s in my territory."
Upon hearing this, the dwarf was excited and said, "Can you take me to see it? If I succeed in forging the War God’s Hammer, I’ll promise you whatever condition you set!"
"You said it, I never begged you."
Lin You secretly chuckled.
He didn’t expect his Bathing Fire Lotus to be of use.
If he forges the Dwarf Race Sacred Artifact, he would have a skilled dwarf artisan, making it a surefire investment.
At the same time, a bolder idea was forming in his mind, making him excited.
So soon, he took the dwarf and rode on the Demon King Dragon and Demon Consort Dragon, swiftly heading towards the Great Wilderness Kingdom.
Along the way.
The dwarf inevitably screamed again but didn’t faint as he did before.
Clearly, the task of forging the Dwarf Race Sacred Artifact mattered more to him, allowing him to endure even this kind of fear.
During their conversation.
Lin You also learned his name.
Maggen Warhammer
The first part is the name, and the latter is their tribal surname.
There are many different surnames and tribes within the Dwarf Race.
For example, Warhammer, Dark Spear, Stone Fist, Copperbeard, Black Iron, and so on...
The dwarf tribes are vast, scattered across every corner of the continent.
And the Hammer Tribe where Maggen belongs is just a small branch.
The underground habitat of this small branch is gradually being invaded by the erupting lava, and it won’t be long before it’s completely devoured.
As a member of the tribe, Maggen naturally doesn’t want to see his tribe perish.
But those old tribal elders refuse to leave the foundation they’ve guarded for generations, so Maggen was exiled.
Along with many young dwarves who wanted to persuade them to leave were exiled.
Thus leading to the subsequent events.
Needless to say.
Lin You’s luck was truly good, coinciding with the Celestial Flame Kingdom’s turmoil.
Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible to approach the Dwarf Race normally.
But now, since he holds the initiative, he must make the most of it.
Thinking of this, he commanded the plants to speed up, flying back towards the Great Wilderness Kingdom.
Soon, they soared over mountain ranges and charged through Rift Valley currents, entering the territory of the Great Wilderness Kingdom.
Just as they were nearing Yellow Sand City, Maggen, on the back of the Demon Consort Dragon, suddenly uttered a soft exclamation.
"I can sense a strong flame aura beneath this mountain."
