Chapter 100 - Recruit the Gnomes (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Feng used his change skill and changed his size into that of a Rank 1 dragon which was only about a meter long.

The third time that he came to the gnomes it was the same as the first time, to steal stuff. Of course, he couldn’t attract too much attention.

He looked at how he was and nodded pleasingly. He then slowly flew and headed towards where the gnomes were.

…

Gnomes homeland, a dungeon deep within the pit.

Robert and Rocket were imprisoned within, refusing to resign themselves to such a fate.

Rocket said, “Robert, why did the priest lock us up? What did we do wrong?”

Robert said plainly, “The priest said that we shouldn’t have brought the dragon here, causing us to lose a dragon’s corpse!”

Rocket said angrily, “That dragon’s corpse belonged to the dragons! The dragons ought to bring it back! Why did the priest do this?”

“Do you still don’t understand? To your priests, what you did had no value at all. You caused them to lose something of value, so of course, he would take it out on you!”

Just as Robert and Rocket were conversing, a light roar came.

“Who is it?”

Robert and Rocket stood up, trying to find the source of the voice.

Only at this time did Jiang Feng appear from the corner and appeared before Robert and Rocket. He said, “It’s me, your Brother Feng!”

“Why… why are you here?” Robert asked in surprise as he pointed at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng also arrived here by accident, to tell the truth.

After he had reached the gnome’s settlement, he had used his Hide skill to hide from the gnomes protecting the elevator, and fly directly into the pit.

But the pit was too big, and there were many rooms and mineshafts, so all he could do was to slowly search for where they were forging the gnome king’s statue.

But what surprised him was that he did not find where they were forging the gnome king’s statue, and instead found Robert and Rocket being imprisoned in a dungeon cell.

Seeing that, he was overjoyed. He never would have thought that Cameron would have locked them up. In that case, he had the confidence to be able to convince them to follow him.

“I’m here for you two,” Jiang Feng’s body became slightly bigger as he said to Robert and Rocket.

“For us?” Robert asked with doubt as he blinked.

Jiang Feng nodded and said with a sigh, “Before I leave, I knew that the priest wouldn’t let you two go. Since it was you two that brought me here and harm caused the gnomes to suffer unnecessary losses. We had also chatted so happy with each other and I have already treated you as my friends. My friends, I cannot bear to see you two suffer, and so I returned to save you.”

If Yanhu and Heifeng were here, they would definitely give Jiang Feng a thumbs up. The way he “persuaded” people were much better than theirs.

Jiang Feng stirred one’s emotions while Yanhu and Heifeng appealed to one’s pride. The saying that went “like master like servants” was pretty accurate.

“Thank you, Brother Feng. No one had treated us as friends, and you were the first one. However, we will not leave with you, as the clan is our home!” Robert said to Jiangfeng gratefully while Rocket had shown some hesitation.

I don’t believe that I can’t persuade you two NPCs with normal intelligence!

Seeing that Rocket was hesitating, Jiang Feng was secretly overjoyed. He then continued to say, “Home? Hoho, have they ever treated you as part of their household? You two are but tools for the gnomes, a pickaxe. You have high-level smithing skills, why can’t you smelt and forge from the ore that you mined yourself? Why must you give them to someone else? Are you really happy that way? Is that what you want, to stay here and mine for the rest of your life? Have you never thought of receiving the gnome king’s inheritance and becoming a being higher than other gnomes?”

His words caused both Robert and Rocket to feel nervous.

They would never have thought about such words in their entire lifetime. That was because, in their subconsciousness, they need only to obey. No voice had asked them to question or to resist.
