The Nineteenth Section: The Treasure Fighting Assembly (1)

  The poor Taoist thought for a while and came up with an idea, which would surely deceive this group of dwarves.

  "How did you know I've never seen it? Maybe I've seen too much, and your stuff is all rotten?" I deliberately provoked this master who regarded honor as life.

  "Huh? Just you? You're so young and yet you dare to say you've seen it all? I'm over 800 years old and I still don't dare to say that!"

  "Heh heh, maybe I've seen more than you!" I deliberately paused for a moment.

  "Heh heh, little guy knows his mistake!" The master said with a pleased tone.

  "What I have is definitely more than yours!"

  "What did you say?" the master said angrily

  "I have more good things than all the dwarves' collections put together!" I replied loudly.

  "Haha" Master smiled instead of getting angry. "What do you have? Haha! Take it out and let me see?"

  "I may have good things, but they're not just for anyone to see!" I returned his original words to him.

  "Haha! That's interesting! You're so good at bragging that you've left me speechless, you little rascal!"

  "Dare you to block one?"

  "What's blocking?"

  "I'll take out an item, and you have to take out something better. Then I'll take out something even better than yours, and we'll see who can't come up with anything else. The loser has to give the winner one of their exhibits as a prize! I wonder if Master is brave enough?"

  "Little guy, I don't want to compete with you. Your family background may have given you some good things, but you absolutely can't compare to our collection of thousands of years. I won't bully a child!" Ah, this old fellow is actually a pretty good person! He's just calling me out, so I'll have to trouble him instead!

  "Alright! We can go ahead, I'll get my mother to come out and you get the clan elder to come out. Since you know my family background, you should also know that I'm not concerned about material things. What I value is the hope of gaining knowledge through this exchange, I hope you can fulfill me!"

  "Alright then, if Your Highness is going to show up, I have nothing more to say! Let's go!"

  Back in the hall, the master went to discuss with the tribe leader and soon got into an argument!

  I told my mother the whole story, and she frowned and said: "Don't think that having a divine artifact makes you invincible. The dwarves' collection of thousands of years is not to be underestimated, they must have several divine artifacts in hand! Are you sure you can win? Don't lose the 'Roar of the Angry Dragon'!"

  "You're underestimating me, aren't you? Divine artifacts are ranked by grade. 'Angry Dragon's Roar' is the number one divine artifact among bows and crossbows. Unless they have another number one weapon, the number one staff 'Magic God's Will' is in the Elf Forest, the number one sword 'War God's Praise' is in the headquarters of the Church of Light, I heard it's being kept by my grandmother, and the number one dagger 'Moon Goddess's Kiss' is with the strongest assassin on the continent - Tian Sha. What else can they possibly bring out?"

  "Where's the gun? The number one gun, 'Thunder Fury', has gone missing. What about the shield? The number one shield, 'Guardian of the Goddess of Life', is also nowhere to be found. And what about the armor?"

  "Even if they have the most draws, it's still a tie for first place, so we won't necessarily lose, right? A draw doesn't result in any losses, and if we win, we can even get a divine artifact for free!"

  "You're really sinister! Alright, but I want half of it!" Mom is threatening me again.

  "How to divide? Smash it in half?" I pretended to be stupid.

  "You take things away at half the market price, or I'll pay to take them away! Mom let you pick first!" Mom's generosity really makes me ashamed!

  "Mom, you don't do anything and just take half? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

  "Mom is a princess, you know letting a princess help you gamble, mom pays with honor that can't be measured by money! Taking half is already very little!"

  "Alright! I always lose to you!" The poor Taoist replied helplessly. "But mom, if I want to win a divine artifact, how can I do it without money?"

  "Stop pretending to be poor in front of me! You've made a fortune from selling Nine-Headed Snake parts, not less than 400 million gold coins. And those fake magic swords you sell? Each one goes for hundreds of millions! Not to mention the things you swindled from your aunt, all within three years, and you've already returned four times from the Spirit Forest. In total, you've taken nearly 1.5 billion gold coins from me. Your father's entire Blue Dragon Army's annual budget is just a fraction of that, 500 million, and it's still not enough for the Stone family to manage the finances without taking some for themselves. It wasn't always like this, all thanks to you! And yet you dare to cry poor in front of me? You're so poor that you've even resorted to throwing away scrolls worth hundreds of millions! If your father knew how much you were making, he'd have a heart attack!"

  "No wonder Dad always looks at me with a weird expression!"

  "Alright! I really don't know what you want so much money for? Your grandfather is still protecting you, otherwise, I would have taken back all your money and given it to your father as military expenses!"

  "Mom, it seems like you earn more than me, why don't you support dad a bit?"

  "The army belongs to the country, why should I pay for it? Besides, I've been donating 1 million yuan to the Qinglong Military every year, and in recent years, I've increased it to 2 million. What more do they want? Alright, they're coming, get ready! Don't embarrass me!"

  At this time, the debate on the side of the clan head also ended. He walked over and said to his mother: "Your Highness, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

  "Clan leader, this child has become arrogant and reckless because of his slight cleverness. Due to the matter of being sealed, his family members have been extremely doting on him, especially his grandfather and grandmother, who often give him good things for protection. As a result, he has become more and more overbearing. You may not know that his property is independent, so I won't help him! I hope you can properly discipline him! Don't worry about him becoming bankrupt afterwards and trying to rely on others, although young, he still dares to take responsibility for himself, I can vouch for him."

  "If you don't participate, aren't we bullying the child?"

  "Haha, don't underestimate him. He's the one who discovered the Nine-Headed Snake's corpse and took away all the treasures from its lair. The spatial ring was left behind by Gringaspan* Dail, and it still has many good things inside. I didn't even get to see them. Plus, his family gave him some too. You'd better be careful, or it'll be bad for the reputation of the Dwarf Clan if you lose."

  "Relic of Great Alchemist Greenspan* Dale? Indeed formidable! You little guy won't cry if you lose hundreds of millions, will you?"

  "It's just millions, I don't care!"

  "What a big tone!"

  "I got into a fight with someone last time and spent over 10 million in one breath. I've never regretted it!"

  "Really?" The tribe leader looked at his mother and asked

  "That's right, he doesn't care at all, just looking for his grandma is enough, I've been worried sick for days without eating!" Mom said with a bitter smile.

  "Haha okay, since it's like that, then let's get started. We really want to see your collection too. Please follow me."

  We arrived at the top floor, where there were only me, Mother, and a few elder dwarves and scribes.

  "This time we hope to keep the treasure hunt a secret, what do you think?"

  "Of course, we swear not to reveal anything we see!" Mother said seriously

  "Well, who's first then?" said the clan leader.

  "I'll go first!" I took out the last magic sword made by Greenspan* Dale, and I imitated a few, but none of them were as good as the original. The main reason was that the quality of the magic crystal couldn't keep up, and no one sold good wind crystals, so I could only add two spells at most, and the power was much smaller. Even so, it sold for over 10 million gold coins, after all, it was the first weapon with built-in spells! After I demonstrated the three spells inside, all the dwarves were stunned by me! Surprised expressions jumped onto their faces!
