Chapter 290 - 291: Reach a Deal
Hearing that the other party was indeed the Dwarf Clan Forging Grandmaster from his memories, his heart gave a startled leap. What a truly fortuitous encounter!
I must make you work for me!
"Master’s name is widely renowned. The Noble Forging Method is admired by the Ten Thousands of Clans, and Master, you are the foremost among them." Chu You mentioned this and slightly bowed his head to the other party. The party immediately returned the gesture, and Chu You continued: "May I ask why you, a Grandmaster, have encountered trouble? Why are you in Beast Tribe Territory, and yet, have suffered an attack from Dark Species?"
"Oh.." Dwarf Oluoga sighed with a desolate expression, "We had ventured into the Beast Tribe Territory to acquire a certain otherworldly God Iron, only to suffer a hateful betrayal that led us into the Beast Tribe’s ambush. We suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, we were able to break out. However, we truly did not expect the Beast Tribe to have a collusion with the Undead. We’re chased down by a necromancer who branded us with a tracking mark!" He spoke up to this point, the white-bearded dwarf was huffing and puffing and his face turned red. He obviously held a profound hatred for the traitors.
"It appears you are in quite a bit of trouble!"
At this point, Oluoga stepped forward, extended a hand in a greeting gesture, and sincerely said: "Respected and friendly Human Tribe representative, I, on behalf of the Dwarf Romanoff Clan, am begging for your aid, to help us return safely to our homeland."
"As a reward, we will give you a payment of 200,000 gold coins!"
"Hehehe." Chu You burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" The white-bearded dwarf looked around at his kind, all of them looked puzzled, not understanding what Chu You found amusing. That was 200,000 gold coins! A whole lot of gold coins! Don’t you realize that?
"I am laughing at you, heh, in my view, your lives are worth far more than 200,000 gold coins." Chu You shrugged, "Besides, as we are both from the forces of light, how can we equate that with gold coins? This is a great insult to my moral character."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, the Goddess of Fate has allowed me to meet you. It must be a heavenly arrangement. The gold coins are just a token of our gratitude, it is purely innocuous. You will be an honored guest of our clan in the future."
