Chapter 016 - Blackmail
"These armors are all carefully forged by us dwarves, not only are they strong and light, but they can also resist low level magic attacks. There are also those weapons that have been refined by thousands of hammers and are incomparably sharp, and each one of them is sold for hundreds of gold coins in human cities." The bearded man enthusiastically introduced, his heart was like being cut by a knife.
"This is all the savings of our line of dwarves over the last hundred years, Thor in heaven, why did you bring us these demons!" The bearded man cried in his heart.
"Bullshit." Johnsan said as he circled around Johnsan's general armor a few times, "How do you expect me to take away this much?"
"You don't have a space ring?" The bearded man was a bit disbelieving, this young summoner had so many perverted summoned beasts, he was a powerhouse wherever he was placed, how come he didn't even have a space ring.
"You have," Johnsan said as he swished up to the bearded man and stared at him, "better not be lying to me."
The bearded man could not wait to slap himself twice and dawdle without speaking, when suddenly he felt some sort of spike against the back of his head, and was so disoriented that he quickly took off a black ring from around his neck, which was tied up with a rope, and handed it to Johnsan.
Johnsan received it in his hand and took a look at it, the ring was made of some unknown material, it was black and heavy, with strange runic patterns engraved on the face of the ring, it looked uncommon.
"You're not bluffing, are you, this thing is a space ring, it doesn't look anything unusual."
"How dare I lie to you, honorable summoner sir, this is made of the very best seven degrees of gold, you just need to re-admit your blood and then rub your finger on the ring and you can use it." The bearded man whispered, his face ashen.
Johnsan suddenly remembers a crucial question, his blood is strongly corrosive, even steel can be easily melted away, I don't know how about this ring.
The lure of the space ring was so great that Johnsan still couldn't help but reach out and gently cut a small slit in a nearby rapier with his finger, waiting for some blood to seep out and busy dripping onto the ring in his hand.
A miracle appeared, the ring's ring surface was like a dry desert, instantly penetrating the drop of blood into it.Johnsan was busy rubbing his finger on the ring surface, and suddenly, he felt a void space appear inside the ring, which was about three to four hundred cubic meters.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the top of the spatial ring, and no one noticed that the blade of the sword Johnsan used to slice his finger was corroded with a bean-sized nick from some blood.
Johnsan then realized why the bearded man was unwilling to hand over this space ring and was ashen faced. Inside the spatial ring, there was a pile of things neatly arranged that shimmered with a golden light, resembling iron but not iron, yet more dazzling than gold.
"Honorable Summoner Lord, can that ... Essence Iron Core ... be ... returned... ... "The bearded man mumbled with courage.
"What fine iron core?" Johnsan feigned confusion and shook his head, "I didn't see it."
Ignoring the bearded man who was almost crying out, Johnsan followed Fate's cue and swung his ring at the pile of armor, and the mountain of armor disappeared from sight, and in a repeat of the same trick he put the pile of weapons away as well.
Steeply, a clear cry resounded through heaven and earth, and even if they stayed in the cave at this time, they could hear it clearly. Not waiting for them to react, there was another burst of low magical beast cries that rang out, long and long and unceasing.
"Let's go." Johnsan guessed that the golden-eyed demonic eagle or the black dragon made the call, and not caring about wasting time here, he hastily summoned the aliens, and a few of them rode on them individually and ran out towards the cave.
The bearded man looked at the empty cave and finally couldn't help but let out a loud cry.
"What's an Essence Iron Core?" Johnsan asked aloud to Fate on his body as his consciousness probed the strange pile of metal within the spatial ring.
Fate shook his head, the alien was so fast, and the blast of wind met his face, he could barely open his mouth.
"I heard it from father." Sally followed closely on Johnsan's right side, she already had the strength of an intermediate warrior, at this time, her fighting qi was running through her whole body, so naturally, she was not as bad as Fate.
"Another name for the refined iron core is iron mother, the essence of the most central part of refined iron, forging weapons or armor with it is not only hard, but also as light as a feather coat. Its biggest advantage isn't even that, a warrior wearing armor made of Iron Mother or using weapons made of it can increase the power of his fighting spirit. If the armor is then treated by an alchemist, it can also counteract a certain amount of damage from intermediate magic attacks."
"So powerful!" Johnsan understood the value of Fine Iron in a flash.
"Yes." Sally continued, "One pound of fine iron is worth more than ten thousand gold coins, and it's still extremely scarce."
"Sally, you know a lot." Johnsan let his alien lean over and said with a quiet face, "When this is done, go back to those armor weapons or whatever you want to pick, if you're not satisfied, there's still a whole lot of iron mother, feel free to take it and forge it yourself, no need to return more, I'll make up for less."
Sally's face flushed slightly, but she couldn't resist the Iron Mother's temptation and nodded and whispered, "Thank you."
"Johnsan, me... and me." Cyrus got antsy and called out, "I was just looking at a big axe, much prettier than the one I have."
"Haha, it will be given to you, what's the hurry." Johnsan let out a loud laugh, suddenly felt something wrong, subconsciously raised his head to look, could not help but be shocked, hastily commanded the aliens to all hide into the pile of boulders in the nearby mountain range.
In the southern sky, a person swept over from mid-air, his speed was not slower than the golden-eyed demonic eagle just now, and his yellow fighting qi was like a dazzling sun, cutting a shadow under the blue dome of the sky.
Perhaps sensing the presence of Johnsan and the others, the man gave a slight lurch in speed above their heads, only to instantly accelerate into the mountains as if in a hurry.
"Battle Saint." This time no one else had to say it, Johnsan lost his voice and screamed.
"I think it's better if we don't go." Fate only felt a dryness in his throat and said in an astringent voice, "We are definitely faster than Uncle Harker and the others, so we just need to wait for them at the edge of the mountain range."
"I agree." Sally nodded and said, "The one who went over in front of us is definitely a powerful magician, and now there's another Battle Saint, when these powerful people fight, the aftermath will seriously injure us, so I think it's better if we don't hit that black dragon."
Johnsan face red, he didn't expect Sally to see his thoughts, lowered his head and thought for a while, finally couldn't resist the temptation of the black dragon's egg, raised his head and said, "First go to the mountain range side to take a look before saying, can't you guys guard outside, I'll bring a few summoned beasts to go line, if there's any danger I'll just run back. You guys also see its speed, running at full speed my summoned beasts may not lose to them."
Sally and Fate looked at each other, knowing they couldn't persuade Johnsan, and nodded hopelessly. The alien carried them quickly toward the mountain range to the west.
After an estimated ten minutes or so, Johnsan and the others reached the bottom of that mountain range, Johnsan was afraid that the Black Dragon and the Black Dragon Egg would be gotten to by those two first, so he had Fate and Sally and Silu wait for the dragon slaying team from THE Locomotive town at the mountain pass, and left the two aliens to hide nearby to protect them.
"Everything that happened today, including the dwarves and my summoned beasts, must not be told to anyone." Johnsan solemnly instructed Sally and Silu.
Sally nodded, she was smart and could guess what Johnsan was thinking, and said, ''Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. When my dad and the others ask, I'll just say that a kind wizard came across us lost halfway and brought us here, and that he told us to guard this place, and if we come across anyone coming, to say that we shouldn't disturb the battle between him and the black dragon."
"Beautiful." Johnsan snapped his fingers and said heartily, "It's beautiful."
Sally's face reddened again and she lowered her head and fiddled with her coat.
"Johnsan, don't worry, I never listen to you." Cyrus yelled, "I'll go in with you, I haven't seen a dragon yet."
"You can't go." Johnsan shook his head, tiptoed over and gave Silu a firm tap on the shoulder and said, "You're going to be here to protect Sally and Fate, you hear me?"
Cyrus immediately thumped his chest and grinned, "Johnsan, just don't worry, you said that Sally will be your wife in the future, we are brothers, I will definitely take care of my future sister-in-law."
The blush on Sally's face instantly spread from her face to her pink neck, and she looked up and gave Johnsan a hard stare, turning her head to glance away, only to pretend she hadn't heard anything.
"Good buddy." Johnsan, thicker skinned than a city wall, let out a hearty laugh and turned to catapult the alien into a run for the mountains.
"Master, be careful." Fate shouted as he stretched his neck.
"Master?" Sally gave Fate a suspicious look, who immediately assumed the pose she had just ignored.
The mountain range in the desert is different from the Locomotive town's south side of the Falling Moon Mountain Range, most of them are some low bushy forests, and the magical beasts in them are mostly some low level wind attribute or earth attribute, Johnsan was thinking about the black dragon and the two strong men in his heart, so he couldn't care less about these low level magical beasts, and he rode his Alien in a gust of wind to the middle of the mountain range.
When he had rounded a large hill, he suddenly heard strange noises coming from up ahead, and Johnsan had the alien crouch down and quietly walk over.
Behind the mountain appeared a clearing, at this time the clearing was full of people, more than a hundred giants about three meters tall, carrying either stone pillars or thick tree poles in their hands, rocky skin gnarled with tree roots like thick muscles, but the head is extremely small, like a big jar with a watermelon on top.
In front of them, densely packed with no less than three hundred dwarves, carrying hammers dwarves are not tall, but they are all green and strong, armor outside the exposed limbs on the strong muscles.
At this moment, more than a hundred giants and more than three hundred dwarf warriors, huddled close together in a ball, all had a look of fear on their faces, and most of them didn't even dare to raise their heads.
"I said those dwarves how only more than twenty warriors, the other are all old and weak women and children do not stand up to the fight, it turns out that the large force here."
Johnsan said in his mind, looking over to the farther side, his heart not booming.
At the end of the clearing, there was a tall cave, at this moment, a magic beast about a hundred meters long was lying in front of the cave, its strong body was almost completely covered by black hard and shiny scales, four thick and powerful legs, a pair of huge bat-like wings on the side of its body, a long neck, two sharp horns on its head, and its huge eyes were transmitting tangible icy cold aura.
