Chapter 656 - 576: One Strike to Break the City
The new capital of the Dwarves was built right on top of the ruins of Alchemy City, occupying a broader area and looking more magnificent and bustling, yet it was already filled to the brim by migrating Dwarf nobility alone.
Many locals of Alchemy City could only live outside the capital, on the barren lands where they built their own manors and castles, becoming satellite towns and an outer defense ring of the Dwarf Capital.
Raul was among them, yet he felt quite content.
Two years ago, he was merely a freeman scraping by under a Lord, his only property being a shabby wooden hut less than ten square meters. To support his sister in learning Alchemy, Raul had sold just about everything.
As a result of an economic crisis, the siblings had become fleeing slaves.
Whenever he remembered the past, Raul particularly cherished his current life.
Since he started dealing in the slave trade, he had transformed from a poor boy to a rich man. He had bought a significant estate, even larger than that of the Porcupine Knight’s he had initially known. He had many servants, even more than the Porcupine Knight had.
If only his sister could see all of this.
Whenever he thought of Isabel’s resolute face, Raul filled with anger. He downed the wine in his glass and then angrily smashed the glass.
After the clattering sound, someone opened Raul’s room door, and a seductive woman, scantily dressed, entered.
