Kadirks speed is indeed very fast.

  In just two days, he had assembled a force of fifty dwarves. Though the death wizard had other ideas, that didnt mean Kragnir didnt have his own plans. The cunning dwarf leader had already sensed an opportunity too good to pass up, though privately he and Velin knew this was actually Jens initiative. With some manipulation, the unwitting residents of Kragnir would think it was their own idea to launch a preemptive strike against the goblins...and the death wizard just happened to be there at his request. Creating such an illusion would do wonders for Kragnirs hold on power in Kragnir. After all, whispers had already begun circulating about whether their leader could truly control the death wizard living outside the city walls; this was a perfect chance for Kragnir to demonstrate his influence over the wizard.

  But now, looking at Zhan En and others standing not far away, Kadek was no longer so sure.

  "It seems youre well-prepared, Mr. Cadick."

  Looking at the smiling dwarf official in front of him, Zhan En nodded to him. He wasnt wearing his usual wizards long robe today. On the contrary, todays Zhan En was dressed no different from a successful noble. His straight trousers, black formal attire with dark red embroidery, and cloak with gold trim, plus the white gloves on his right hand holding a black cane. This image was vastly different from before, if the previous Zhan En still looked like a traditional wizard, then now he looked more like a spirited noble, the only commonality between the two being the reflection of his glasses under the hoods shadow.

  On either side of Zann stood Enyo and Vyrna. The former was still faithfully performing her duties as a deputy officer, while the latter was also showing a cold expression, seemingly indifferent to everything in front of her. However, there was one more person beside them.

  That was a girl wearing a wizards long gown with silver-white long hair.

  Kadek cast a curious glance at her, but being practical, he didnt pry further. Most mages were mystics, and Kadek didnt intend to stir up more trouble than necessary. So he quickly refocused his attention on Jain, flashing a warm smile as he began to speak.

  "Of course, sir, as you see, I have gathered the bravest warriors of all Brendenstone! Miraabas axe!"

  As he spoke, Khadrok suddenly turned around and raised his hands high in the air with a flourish. For this moment, he put aside the cunning and guile of an ork politician and showed the bravery that a dwarf should have.

  "Their axes are unmatched, no one can stand before them unscathed. They are the embodiment of the dwarves ire, those damned foolish hairy little bastards will die screaming under our axes!" Caddek burst out laughing at this point. "Rest assured, milord, I guarantee that these dwarves will build you a wall of steel, and ensure no accidents occur."

  "I hope so."

  Regarding Kardoks boasting, Jann didnt say much. Because he had already keenly discovered that these dwarf warriors, although indeed looking brave and fierce, and meeting the standards of top-notch warriors, their equipment was dull and grey, and Jann even keenly caught sight of many residual marks of damage in the gaps between the dwarves armor. It could be seen that this armor hadnt been meticulously maintained for a long time, and some might have even been retrieved from storage as scrap.

  It is clear that these dwarves may be brave warriors, but they are by no means the most elite fighters - or at least not the most elite of Cadaks proud warriors.

  "Standing at the forefront is Tog, the Warhammer. Hes our pride of Brandon Stonecastle, a mage. Im sure youll get along famously...". Cadrek paused here, casting a nearly imperceptible glance at Verna standing beside him before stepping back. "...May the stones be above, wishing you a smooth journey."

  Alicia stood quietly behind Jann, her brow furrowed. She didnt actually understand why Jann, as the master of the underground city, would be so concerned about a small group of goblins and even personally go to eliminate them. However, she clearly sensed one fact: Jann had an extremely strong control over Brandon Stone Castle. He could even persuade the gray dwarf governor to give him a group of elite gray dwarf warriors to clear out those goblins, which was simply unbelievable in Alicias eyes. But this also made Alicia more worried, as it was clear that the underground city was not just a legend for the dark races at the bottom of the world. This also meant that if Black Onyx Castle provoked Jann again, their fate could be predicted.

  Unlike Eris, who was worried and anxious, Enyo stood quietly behind Jarn, narrowing her eyes as she watched the farce directed by her master. In Enyos view, Jarns most formidable aspect was not his magic or combat skills, but his wisdom. He could always achieve his goals by revealing the asymmetry of information. Just like what he was doing now. He clearly saw Kardels greed for power and made suggestions based on that. And Kardel had no idea about Jarns true identity, thinking that this wizard was just a wizard, nothing more.

  However, on the other hand, Eris had different information. She knew that Jan was the master of the underground city and also subconsciously thought that these dwarves understood this as well. Therefore, when Eris arrived, Kadeks action of lending soldiers to Jan became ironclad evidence of an alliance between the two forces. This was what Jan liked and was best at - grasping peoples hearts, playing with peoples hearts, manipulating peoples hearts. In his hands, it almost became a wonderful art. Even Enova thought that even if her master didnt have that "system" he mentioned, she could still make a name for herself in the dark region.

  Of course, Enya also knew that the message revealed by Zhan was not so simple.

  But now Elisa didnt have the mood to care about these things, because for her, there was something more important and troublesome in front of her...

  "Hmm..."

  Looking at the back of Zain in front of her, Elise lowered her head, and the red flush on her white face reached her neck. However, she still hugged herself and looked around in both directions.

  Its no wonder that Elise is acting so anxiously at this moment, because on the girls body, apart from the mages long gown and a pair of leather boots, there was nothing else, in other words, Elise had once again gone into battle "naked".

  This made the girl extremely depressed, but what could she do? Previously, it was Elise who said that whatever she did would be fine. But Elise didnt expect Jain to make such a shameful and shameless request. Jain only gave her two options: either wear that outfit which was even more revealing than a tavern wenchs out in public, or go out wearing just one piece of mage robe.

  Neither of you is willing? Then spread your legs and let me have some fun. Anyway, its what you said yourself, as long as its something that can be done, anything is fine to do.

  One mustnt speak recklessly and one mustnt eat excessively. Now Elise can be said to have personally experienced the truth contained in these words.

  So-called two rights are harmful and take the lighter one. In the end, Elise still chose to go on stage in a vacuum. Anyway, at least from the outside, it looks normal, doesnt it?

  But now, Elise is somewhat regretful of her choice. The mage robe that Jain brought back is indeed very good-looking and fits well, with fine workmanship and comfort. This should be considered a high-quality garment, and by rights, Elise shouldnt have any complaints.

  The problem is that the clothes are made too comfortable, so many times, Elisa feels like shes not wearing anything at all, which makes her have to constantly confirm whether shes really wearing clothes or just naked - if she had seen "The Emperors New Clothes", Elisa would definitely feel deeply sympathetic towards the king.

  But that didnt make Eris feel any more at ease, she awkwardly stretched out her hand to cover her chest, trying to hide the small bulge in front of her. The delicate fabric slid over her skin as the girl moved, and in an instant, Eris felt a current mixed with numbness spreading throughout her body from her chest, which almost made her scream.

  "Well then, we should be off, Miss Eilis."

  Just as Elyse was getting flustered, Zanes voice appeared beside her ear. She looked up and saw the young man in front of her smiling and extending his right hand with a respectful and elegant gesture - just like a noble. It was as if they were not in the dimly lit rubble, but at some luxurious court ball, inviting her to dance together. This was completely different from the impression he had given before, and Elyse felt more and more that she couldnt see through this man. He could be as rough as a rascal, or as noble as a aristocrat, Elyse had never seen such contradictory qualities in one person before.

  What kind of person is he?

  Staring at Zhan Ens face, which was covered by a hood and could only barely see the outline. Elise hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand to grasp Zhan Ens extended hand.

  But the girl did not notice it. At the same time, a bright red light flashed through Jans eyes.
