The Great Demon King
Chapter 69 "Getting the friendship of the dwarves "



When his mental strength was drained, the replenishment he received from the meditation appeared at a much faster pace compared to his normal training condition. When Han Shuo returned to the grave of death and meditated for one night, his mental strength was once again filled to the brim. Thus, Han Shuo concluded such a conclusion.


However, for necromancers, they would not be able to unleash any magic if they did not have mental strength. This will undoubtedly put them in a very dangerous position. Therefore, no magician would expend all of their mental strength in a single shot under normal circumstances.


Since the dwarves were willing to share the mining cave, Han Shuo could not help but form another plan. There seemed to be a large amount of metal ores and copper inside the cave. Therefore, it took a while for the dwarves to dig the entire cave.


For Han Shuo, he could actually utilize the summoning creatures to increase the speed of mining. If these copper and iron ores were sent to the Empire, they would definitely get a huge reward for Han Shuo, specifically the black iron ore within. According to Han Shuo's understanding and the expressions of the dwarves today, Han Shuo understood that this black metal ore was an extremely valuable resource, and might be able to be sold at a price of defeat.


There should be a few dwarf villages in the Dark Forest, and there are not too many dwarves in this group. All of them combined probably did not require this much metal and copper ores. Since this was the case, Han Shuo made some other plans in his heart.


After putting fresh blood and magical yuan into “Genuine” demon cave, Han Shuo left the grave of death early in the morning and rushed towards the mining cave.


Han Shuo thought that he had arrived quite early, but he discovered that the dwarf had already arrived by the time he arrived at the entrance of the cave. There were double the number of dwarves that were commonplace today, and it seemed like they were awake all night because of their excitement. Their eyes were all red, but their spirits were still very aroused.


One of them was grizzled and leaned on a stick, in the middle of conveying the instructions seriously to the other dwarves. All the other dwarves, including Bennett, all listened respectfully to his warning.


Deliberately letting the sound of his steps catch the attention of the dwarves, Bennett immediately raised the iron hammer in his hand and exclaimed when he saw Han Shuo appear, “Hai, my best friend, we have been waiting for you for a long time! ”


When Han Shuo had walked up close, the old dwarf with the grizzled beard bowed in a human way to thank Han Shuo. He said generously, “Bold and strong friend, thank you for your repeated help. I'm Chief Calvin of the dwarf village, and I'm very happy to be able to get acquainted with you. ”


“I called Han Shuo and I feel very honored to earn your trust!” This place was far from the Academy and no one knew of its identity. Therefore Han Shuo used his real name to interact with the dwarves.


“Dare Han, your name is quite extraordinary. I've never heard of anyone using a name like that. Heh heh, the children say that you are a man worthy of trust. Our village is willing to share the secrets of this mining cave with you. I just wish we could coexist harmoniously in the future! ”Calvin first looked at Han Shuo strangely, seemingly confused by his name, but his face then became overwhelmed by a smile and continued to speak.


“Then, I think we can start working.” Although Calvin was neither in a hurry nor too relaxed, the gazes of the other dwarves all floated towards the cave behind them, clearly revealing their excited minds. Han Shuo did not speak any further and directly proposed to start working.


“Do not rush.” Calvin thought and looked at Han Shuo. “Han, why are you helping us like this? We are willing to share the mining cave with you, but why didn't you take half of the iron and copper core yesterday? ”


Parents do think more, and it seems that dwarves are not the exception. Han Shuo looked at Calvin, silent for a moment and explained. “First, I also have bones to pick with forest trolls. Not to mention that I was conquered by the death-defying battle spirit shown by Bennett and the others. That's why I helped them the first time.


Besides, they actually helped me fight the Windblade Wolves. Those two Windblade Wolves are actually prey to Me, and helping you mine ore inside the cave is only a small matter. I don't know how to forge weapons, and I think I'd be of no use if I took iron ore and copper. That's why I didn't take anything away. Elder Calvin, You have to believe in Me, I really have no other dubious motives. ”


“Yes head, Han is a good friend and he is not like other humans.” Bennett suddenly spoke and said to the old dwarf.


Nodding, Calvin bowed towards Han Shuo, saying humbly, “I'm sorry, Han, I'm older and have seen too many cunning humans. That's why I'm asking you. I hope you don't mind. ”


“You are right, I completely understand your worries!”


After hearing his words, Han Shuo thought that although the dwarves were stubborn and had fiery anger, they were indeed a race that deserved to be friends. Han Shuo became a little embarrassed about his own intentions after hearing Calvin's promise. He thought deeply for a moment, “Please calm down, elder, I completely agree with your suggestion. Besides, when I have enough black metal, can I sincerely ask you to fake it into a weapon for Me? ”


“No problem Han, relax. If there's enough black metal, I'll personally keep an eye on them and make a weapon worth your use. ”Calvin promised with a smile.


“Alright, I think we can start working!” Han Shuo finally put aside his plan, thinking that his plan for the Edge Demonslayer had finally made a move. He smiled as he headed to the cave with the dwarves.


After half a day of mining, Han Shuo's mental strength was once again drained and he left the cave extremely exhausted. The catch today is even richer than it was yesterday. Apart from a large amount of iron ore and copper, they once again obtained two pieces, one large and one small, of black metal. Han Shuo generously handed over the larger part to the village chief and threw the smaller part into his space ring.


At the entrance of the cave, the dwarves packed everything neatly and shouldered the grains with smiles that brightened their faces, planning on transporting them today to be brought back to the village.


“Dear Han, what kind of weapon do you want to fake?” Calvin asked before he left.


After thinking for a while, Han Shuo took out a dagger and drew a sketch of Demonslayer Edge on the ground. He pointed to the line of weapons on the ground and explained to Calvin, “This type of weapon will be good. I want the best and sharpest, will you be able to finish it? ”


Calvin squinted his eyes and bowed, observing Demonslayer Edge's sketches for a while. He spoke with deep thought, “I've never seen a weapon like this, I thought this would be interesting. There should be no problem in making it, but if you want the best and sharpest, we will need a few more ingredients. Our village likely does not have enough supplies. ”


His mind raced, Han Shuo thought of the Boozt Merchant Guild and personally thought that he would actually come out for this Demonslayer Edge. He said, “Please tell me what materials are needed, elder. I'll find a way to collect all the missing or insufficient material. I need a high-class weapon. ”


“Do you have pen and paper?”


“Of course!” Han Shuo picked up the pen and paper he had prepared before going to the grave of death from the space ring and handed it to Calvin. “Do not worry about insufficient material. I'll find a way to gather all the materials as quickly as possible. ”


“Then so well.” Calvin nodded and began to note down the list of materials on the paper. When he was done, he handed it to Han Shuo, saying, “Han, as long as these materials are collected, I can assure you that I will forge a weapon with an unrivalled tip for you.”


“When the amount of black metal I have is enough to forge this weapon, I will think of a way to collect these materials. I will be here early tomorrow to help mine ore, “ Han Shuo said as he left the mine.


Just like this, Han Shuo spent the next ten days with the dwarves, mining the cave.


When Han Shuo had obtained enough black metal and the dwarves all obtained a rich catch, the, Calvin proposes temporarily halting their mining operations and says that they should start forging these ores into weapons. They could mine again in the future when they ran out of weapons.


Han Shuo had already gained the dwarf's trust during this time and accepted Calvin's invitation to visit their village and drink a lot to celebrate. Thus, he knew the correct way for their residence.


After Han Shuo put fresh blood and magic yuan into “Devil Cave Original” earlier than usual. He then used the transportation matrix to leave the grave of death.
