Master Bo Hui led Han Chen and the others to see the corpse of a dwarf.
Surprised, Han Chen opened his mouth and asked, ”Master Bo Hui, what do you have to say?!”
”En!” Bo Hui nodded, a faint look of helplessness appearing in his slightly cloudy eyes. ”I have to start from twenty years ago, when I was in my prime, and my family was relatively more prosperous. The only companion was my wife. ”
Bo Hui's wife's health was not very good. After a serious illness, the doctor's diagnosis was actually a sickness brought out from his mother's womb. In order to treat his wife, Bo Hui's rich and powerful family fortune was gradually squandered.
In desperation, in order to save on the cost of the medicine, Bo Hui went deeper into the forests outside of the Wan Chao City to gather medicinal ingredients. But unexpectedly, when Bo Hui accidentally went into the mountain to gather medicinal herbs, he discovered a dwarf who was severely injured.
”When I saw that the dwarf was dying, I couldn't bear to see him, so I took him back home to recuperate. After a few days, the dwarf's life was saved. However, his legs had fallen off and he was unable to walk upright for a long period of time. ”
Hearing Bo Hui's words, Han Chen and the others subconsciously looked at the leg of the Dwarf inside the crystal coffin. Sure enough, his right calf was much thinner than his left calf.
”What happened next?” Did he teach you the art of refining? ” Gu Ling asked.
”That's right!” Bo Hui sighed as his eyes revealed a fiery look, ”From our later interactions, I found out that he was a warrior from the Dwarf. In order to repay me for saving his life, he began to impart to me the art of refining. And naturally, I also treated him as my master, even though he had never treated me as his disciple. ”
”No wonder Master Bo Hui's refining skills are so superb. So he actually has a master from the Dwarf!”
”Heh heh, I dare not say I am such a great person. I have only learned a little of Master's skills. Later on, with the help of the artifact forging techniques passed down to me by Master, I gradually became one of the more famous artificers in the Wan Chao City. Living conditions are getting richer and richer, and I no longer have to worry about my wife getting medical treatment. It can be said that because of the Dwarf's Master, my fate has changed. ”
Bo Hui paused for a moment, before continuing, ”But something bad happened. Ten years ago, when Master's time was up, she abandoned us to our loneliness.”
”Yes, I know dwarves have a shorter lifespan than us humans.” Gu Li nodded his head, his face revealing a confused look. Master, you said that he died ten years ago, so what about his corpse? ”
This was also the problem present in Han Chen's heart. If a person had been dead for ten years, he would have long been reduced to nothing but a pile of rotten bones. Patsy, the dwarf in front of them, looked as though she had just died a few days ago.
”Is it because of this crystal coffin?” The one who spoke was Qiao Feilin.
”That's right.” Bo Hui's eyes revealed an expression of praise, ”Master has lived with us for ten years. In order to prevent disturbances from the outside world, he has not stepped out of his house for the past ten years. Other than my wife and I, no one knows of his existence. Aside from teaching me how to forge equipment, he also likes to do it himself. He first spent five years refining his treasured artifact, the Heavenly Thunder Fist Gloves. ”
A few people's gazes swept towards the silver gloves in Han Chen's hands.
”After that, he spent another four years refining this crystal coffin that can protect the human body from rotting.”
”Then why did he do it?” The few of them were still puzzled.
”Homecoming.” Bo Hui clenched both his fists tightly, a strange sadness sweeping past his eyes. Before Master died, he had said that his greatest regret was not having died in a tribe of the Dwarf. His soul can't get peace, so he wants to preserve his own body and let me think of a way to send him back to Dwarf. ”
Falling back to its roots, these few eye-piercing words, yet touching to the heart.
Bo Hui took a deep breath, ”Because my wife has been paralyzed in bed all year round, and Master knows that I cannot fulfill his last wish. Thus, he set up an Illusionary Thunder Array on the Heavenly Thunder Fist Gloves and hid the body tempering cultivation technique within it. In addition to the power of the glove, this treasure is definitely a top grade treasure. ”
”What do you mean?”
”That's right.” Bo Hui suddenly knelt down towards Han Chen, his voice was filled with pleading, ”I hope little brother will grant my wish.”
The few of them were immediately given a fright by Bo Hui's actions. Han Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, ”Master, if you have something to say, please say it. You're ruining this junior's life!”
”Little brother, I am already unable to find a suitable candidate. If I can't fulfill Master's last wish, even if I die, I won't be at ease. Little brother, if you can agree to help me take Master's body back to Dwarf, Bo Hui will willingly do anything for you. ”
Bo Hui had a sincere and pleading expression, but he was in a dilemma, and it was yet another difficult responsibility. Was he not given enough tasks?
”Han Chen, since Master Bo Hui is so pitiful, why don't you agree to him!” Gu Ling said heartlessly on the side.
”That's right!” Gu Li also tried to dissuade her, ”Han Chen, Dwarf's tribe is quite big, it won't be too hard to find.”
Han Chen frowned. He really wanted to strangle these two, but he didn't have the heart to reject Bo Hui. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, ”Master, do you know where Patzi's hometown is?”
”I know, Master once said that his hometown is at the peak of the Misty Peak, in the Great Plains of the Polar Region.”
”Alright! Since I have a specific goal, then I will just need to spend some time. ”
