Chapter 210 - A Little mans request (1/2)

While everyone remained silent in the room, all that could be heard was the sound of the dwarf eating his food away.

Suddenly, Ray started to laugh.

”Yes, you are right,” Ray said, ”how could you expect to do business with a boy.”

Then Ray's hair started to go from Red to Black. His height and body proportions started to match that of an a.d.u.l.t until he had finally transformed into the man known as Nes.

”Is this more to your liking?” Ray asked.

Suddenly the dwarf stopped eating and stared at Ray in admiration.

”A mage and not just any mage a powerful one at that.” The dwarf said. ”I'm sorry about my rudeness before, come sit, enjoy some food with me.”

Ray did as asked and sat down at the table with the dwarf. He cancelled his transformation and returned to being the 17-year-old red-haired boy Ray.

”Lad, I cannot get used to that, I've never seen anything like that in my life.” The dwarf said.

The two of them continued to eat and chat away getting to know each other a little more. To Slyvia's surprise, it looked like the two of them got along well. It was a first for Slyvia as every new interaction with Ray usually went bad and Ray didn't open himself up to people like this when he first met them.

But unknown to Sylvia, this was all because Ray was talking to a dwarf. It wasn't a human, he bore no ill will or grudges against the dwarves and right now this one, in particular, was even agreeing to help him.

After talking for a little while Ray found out that the dwarves name was Randin. A long time ago he was out hunting a beast in the sea when their ship got wrecked and he ended up drifting all the way to Bronzeland.

He wasn't sure if the others had survived but so far he hadn't met another dwarf in Bronzeland. When he heard about the request, he got excited thinking that maybe a dwarf warrior had drifted onto the land as well.

As the humans didn't even know there was a way to put beast equipment on beasts. Although Randin was saddened when he first met Ray, his mood was quickly lifted when he noticed the two of them had more things in common than he first thought.

Randin was at the old age of 223 but his body didn't look it at all. As long as a dwarf kept in good health, they could live up to 500 years of age, so Randin was young for a dwarf. For some reason though when Randin talked to Ray, it didn't feel like he was talking to someone only 17 years of age but someone much wiser and older.

Although there were times when Ray would say something that made him sound his age. A random thought popped into Randin's head, it felt like he was talking to two entirely different people at times.

”I suppose we should start getting down to business then,” Randin said. ”Take me to the beautiful beast and I will see what I can do. ”

Slyvia, Ray and Randin then headed outside to the training centre. At the moment there were many students doing their daily training routine. As soon as Ray appeared on the filed. They stopped what they were doing to acknowledge Ray by bowing down to him and calling him boss.

”It's a bit strange that you make your men do that,” Randin said.

Ray started to shake his head in embarrassment.

”Unfortunately, this was all set up by one of my men without my knowledge,” Ray replied.

Randin then started to look around the training field but then felt a little strange when he saw no beast.
