71 Chapter 71: Rewards From The Chief (1/2)

Once the chief got his bearing back he looked at Ned as if wanting to see if he is pranking him.

”Ned you know that how much beasts you left here for us would possibly last us years. After all we are barely one hundred” the chief said, and from the size of the beasts he knew that even one or two a day would be enough for the whole clan.

”I was going to sell them, but if they will help you then of course I will give them to you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hero or savior, it just happened that I had what you need.” Ned said.

When he thought about it, his first thought was to help them since he had the means. At least it proved that he was a good man.

”Nonetheless you helped my clan. And we should reward you.” The chief said.

Ned shook his head in denial.

”I insist” The chief was persistent until Ned gave a nod of approval.

”You must know that dwarfs are good smiths? We forge the best weapons that anybody could possibly use.” The chief said as he beckoned for Ned to follow him upstairs from the cold room, then to a different house.

Once inside Ned found many shelves on the walls each holding many weapons for display.

The chief started explaining, ”The Atrium metal is the strongest known metal, and I'm proud to say, no one but the dwarfs can work with it. All weapons here are either from high purity steel, or from Atrium. You can choose whatever you like. Go on look for yourself.” The chief said.

Ned even if he didn't plan on taking any weapons, he was still going to look at the best weapons of this world. At least in this clan of dwarfs.

He found s.h.i.+elds, swords in all kinds, daggers, knifes, bows, axes, hammers. To his knowledge humans could only use daggers knifes or swords. Since they didn't have training methods for the other weapons, they would only trap themselves if they tried mastering them.

But the dwarfs he had seen along the way, had hammers, axes, and bows, but even so he was confident they didn't follow the same path the humans and other races did.

He changed his mind about not taking any weapons, when he saw an intricately designed belt holding six knifes.

He had no use for the belt as he had small ones around his thighs that could hold three knifes each, however he wanted the six good looking knifes.

The chief seeing him stand along the knifes explained, ”These are made from Atrium, they are throwing knifes. Nearly indestructible due to how many times they were refined in the forge.”

”Can I take them?” Ned asked as he turned to the chief.
