Chapter 66: Artisan Ironclad (2/2)
Elora also felt heartbreaking when she saw the condition of the girl. Her face turned red with anger, but she could only clench her fist as she knew that she wasn't strong enough to help that girl.
Khrom heard them and shook his head. This brother and sister duo was too inexperienced. He wondered if he had made a mistake by accepting Kadyn's offer. In the end, he sighed and warned. ”If you want to help someone you need to have sufficient strength. Or else it would only bring troubles for you. This world is not a good place for honest and upright people.”
Kadyn just smiled hearing his warning. He knew that the world was filled with injustice, if he helped everyone in need, he would bring unnecessary troubles for himself, he would be exhausted to death if not killed by enemies. Though his heart still pained when he looked at the poor girl in such a terrible condition.
”As you can see, this is a dwarven girl that we captured a few days ago. Anyone who could get their hands on this girl would get her secrets as well.” Old Li said.
”Are you joking with us, Old Li?” Artisan Hot Rod from room number two couldn't help but sneer at this moment. ”You've made such a huge fuss for just a little girl and wasted our precious time. Do you think everyone is stupid here? How would a girl like her know the dwarven secrets of forging? Look at her, do you think that she is qualified to know those secrets?”
People couldn't help but look at Old Li weirdly, this old bastard dared to make such a fuss over nothing. This was just a child; even if she was their princess she won't know much about forging at her age. Furthermore, no one believed that she had a high status among the dwarves, or why would she get caught by the Slave Dealers?
”What a waste of time.” Artisan Ironclad from room number four sighed as well.
”You shouldn't spread lies, Old Li,” at this moment, a familiar voice came from room number one. Kadyn knew whom that voice belonged to. Old Li heard and hurriedly replied to that man. ”Association Leader Barret, let me explain the situation first.”
This time Old Li sounded quite polite. After all, if he dared to antagonise this Association Leader, his business won't last long. This city, this country, and many other countries were ruled by the Magic Association. They were the true rulers of this land. Old Li understood this fact clearly. Therefore he dared not to show any grievances on his face and remained polite.
”Oh, go on, I would love to hear your reasons,” Barret said with his dignified voice. Other people also turned towards Old Li.
