Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 138: Chapter 137: The Dormant Volcano

“Is that… a dwarf!?”

“How can there be dwarves in a place like this?”

“Seems like the Lord brought them back.”

“Isn’t it said that dwarves don’t like to interact with humans? How did they end up in a human territory?”

“I heard dwarves are great at crafting equipment. Could they be friends with the Lord?”

Outside the city, residents and passers-by were buzzing with speculation, all guessing the identity of those dwarves.

Before long, Xue Changgui and a group of stewards hurriedly came from within the city, pushed through the crowd, and approached Lin You.

“Lord, may I ask what’s going on?”

Xue Changgui stared in astonishment at the over forty dwarves surrounding Lin You.

Especially the figure standing at the front, carrying a Thunderfire Giant Hammer, which gave him a sense of unease.

This dwarf…

Is truly something!

Xue Changgui instantly noticed Mageon’s extraordinary presence.

At this moment, Lin You also turned his gaze toward him: “You’re just in time, let me introduce you. This is Mageon, king of the Hammer Tribe dwarves. These are his clansmen, and henceforth, the Hammer Tribe will relocate to live within our territory. You should arrange some temporary housing for them.”

“What did you say!? The Dwarf Race is moving to our territory to live??”

Xue Changgui’s eyes widened to the extreme.

He had always heard that the Dwarf Race doesn’t like to associate with humans.

But what’s this all about?

These dwarves are actually saying they want to relocate here?

Could it be the Lord is related to the Dwarf Race?

What’s even more shocking to him was Lin You’s next words.

“Yes, all moving over, roughly three thousand dwarves, and when the time comes, I’ll create an underground kingdom in the nearby mountains for them.”

“Three thousand!!”

Not just Xue Changgui, but even the other stewards were astonished.

Three thousand dwarves!

A whole tribe moving over!

Is their Lord a messenger of the War God?

To actually entice so many dwarves to come to him!

In their shock, they took a moment to respond, glancing at the dwarves behind Lin You, and repeatedly agreed: “Alright, we’ll arrange their housing right away!”

This is a whole dwarf tribe after all.

Even if foolish, they knew the terrifying energy contained within.

It’s said many powerful cultivators find it harder than ascending to the heavens to seek the Dwarf Race’s help to craft a weapon.

But now, these dwarves are coming to live in Yellow Sand City; they wouldn’t dare be careless and quickly gathered a batch of residents, starting to build temporary accommodations outside the city for the dwarves.

And this news.

Like a whirlwind, rapidly spread through Yellow Sand City and its surroundings.

“What did you say!? Some dwarves are settling in Yellow Sand City?”

“Is the news confirmed?”

“Probably not wrong; many people saw it outside the city, and reportedly a whole dwarf tribe will move over.”

“A whole tribe!? How is that possible!”

“Let’s go! We should check it out too!”

Once the news spread, it stirred up quite a commotion in Yellow Sand City.

Everyone who received the news flocked outside the city to verify it.

No help for it; the Dwarf Race’s crafting skills are renowned.

If one can have the dwarves craft equipment for them, their abilities would surely see tremendous improvement.

Even selling them, they would fetch several times higher prices than other equipment.

Even the Tier Six cultivators passing by were continuously seeking news, hoping to establish a connection with the Dwarf Race.

However, unfortunately.

To avoid disrupting the Dwarf Race’s living arrangements, Lin You had strictly prohibited anyone from approaching their temporary dwellings, and even stationed numerous plants around for guard duties, allowing only the residents tasked with constructing housing to enter.

So countless people looked on from afar, sighing in admiration.

And those residents permitted to enter the temporary dwellings, instantly became esteemed figures in everyone’s eyes.

No doubt.

Having completed the housing tasks, Xue Changgui had just walked out of the temporary dwellings when an anxious call sounded from beside him.

“Old Xue, Old Xue, wait a moment!”

Looking closely, it was Wei Gang, who had long been waiting there.

“Wei Gang? Why aren’t you properly stationed in the city training the soldiers and visiting here?” Xue Changgui paused, his face full of doubt.

Being asked this, Wei Gang’s expression instantly turned awkward.

He rubbed his hands, a bit embarrassed, and quietly said, “Well, since the Lord has brought back so many dwarves, can’t you help me ask if they can craft a piece of equipment for me?”

“You came to me just for this?” Xue Changgui glanced at him.

“What else could it be for? This is a big deal, and now only you can go inside; you should know something, right?”

“How should I know? You want equipment crafted, ask the Lord yourself, see if he agrees.”

Looking at the sneaky Wei Gang, Xue Changgui found it very amusing.

To think the Guard Commander of Yellow Sand City was trying to secretly seek the dwarves’ help to craft equipment, isn’t afraid of becoming a laughingstock.

“Come on.”

Hearing this, Wei Gang became anxious.

“We’re all old acquaintances, and now the Lord has forbidden anyone besides you from approaching the dwarves. If I ask, he’d skin me alive.”

“Since you know, why did you come here? If the Lord hears about you neglecting your duties, deducting your pay would be lenient.” Xue Changgui threatened.

“Alright, alright, I’ll leave. Just don’t tell the Lord.”

Upon hearing he’d be punished, Wei Gang panicked and hurriedly turned to return to the city.

But as he left, he didn’t forget to add, “Old Xue, remember to inquire about the equipment matter for me, I’ll treat you to drinks later.”

With that, he bolted off.

Watching him disappear quickly, Xue Changgui shook his head helplessly and went back to his business.

Thus.

The news of the Dwarf Race’s appearance in Yellow Sand City spread from person to person, turning into a widespread piece of information.

Even many cultivators from surrounding cities, upon hearing the news, came seeking equipment crafted by the Dwarf Race.

Within just one day.

The whole of Yellow Sand City became even more bustling than before, with daily revenue doubling.

However, Lin You was busy with the Dwarf Race’s relocation, not minding all this at all.

No doubt.

Having just arranged the temporary dwelling affairs, he took Mageon and the group of dwarves to the mountains where he sensed flame energy earlier to start scouting.

After all, much of the Dwarf Race’s crafting depends on earth’s fire.

Having a stable fire source is naturally much more beneficial for them.

“It should be here without a doubt.”

On a bare slope, Mageon pointed to the ground and said.

“I can feel there’s a very massive flame energy underneath, it’s likely a dormant volcano.”

“Alright, let’s start digging. Do you need me to blow the mountain open?”

For convenience in excavation, Lin You even brought the Mushroom Demon King.

“No need, digging caves has many considerations, especially near a volcano cave, it mustn’t cause excessive damage, or it might collapse.”

“True, exploding the volcano would be bad, so you handle the excavation, I’ll arrange more people to help transport stone.”

“Thank you,” Mageon gratefully responded.

Immediately, the excavation work began in grand fashion, figures busy in the mountains.

As time passed.

More and more dwarves arrived in Yellow Sand City, gradually joining the excavation team.
