Chapter 595 - Offer - Part 2

Chief Egin glanced toward the second dwarf and whispered. "Do we have enough material to build a dimensional gate?"

"Yes, we have enough materials to make at least ten Dimensional Gates." The second dwarf nodded his head. "But should we do this for free? Shouldn\'t they pay us?"

"I am fine by paying for your service to make me a dimensional gate, give and take. Do you want me to pay with what? Game Coin?" Of course, Tang Shaoyang did not mind paying. Even though the only thing he had was a Game Coin. He had a lot of them after finishing the trial. He should have enough to pay the Dimensional Gate…

Chief Engin looked at Tang Shaoyang then he glanced at the second dwarf. He made sure that he was saying in a low voice so only both of them could hear the whisper. He did not expect the human would have a sharp hearing to hear that.

"Or I have an offer for you, the dwarves." Ashley suddenly joined in the conversation. Chief Egin and the second dwarf looked toward Ashley before the dwarves looked at Tang Shaoyang.

"What if the Dorgon becomes the vassal of the Tang Empire? The reason you and your group keep moving around is that you don\'t want to be enslaved by the kingdom, right? Then join the Empire, and we will protect the Dorgon\'s people."

"And in exchange for that protection, you want us to work with you? What\'s the difference then? In the end, you just want us to work for you." The second dwarf who never joined the conversation suddenly spoke and raised his voice.

"Of course, it\'s very much different from slavery. You become our vassal, and we will give you food and home. And you don\'t have to worry about the work. We will not force you to do anything you don\'t want to. However, you have to help the Empire to build the city. We will never compel you to make magical equipment." Ashley explained with a smile.

As someone who was born and raised on this continent, she was aware of why the dwarves hid instead of staying in one place. The human\'s greed for the magical weapon caused them to hide. Most of the dwarves did not like to build weapons, as most of them enjoyed building the infrastructure of the city.

Since most of the dwarves refused the kingdom\'s request to make Mana Canon, the kingdom used their force to enslave the dwarves. That was the beef between the dwarves and the humans on this continent.

Ashley knew the history and took that as her advantage. No, they had another advantage. "Our main territory is not in Lukan. We come, No. He comes from another world, a lower world than Lukan. If you join us, you can get free from the people of the main continent and the three kingdoms."

"You will have a new home in another world. Don\'t worry about work, the Empire will pay for your work as well. Maybe you are worried since he comes from a lower world, but he alone could force the Gator Tribe to retreat, and kill one of the Elders. I presume you have heard about that."

Chief Engin\'s eyes widened in surprise at the sudden revelation. He thought the leader of this group came from the main continent. But he was not, and he came from a lower continent instead. He was even more shocked because the man could defeat the Gator Tribe alone.

Of course, he heard the clash between the new rising group against the Gator Tribe. The result was unexpected, where the new group forced the Gator Tribe to retreat.

"That\'s him before he reached Epic Rank. Now he is Epic Rank, he is much stronger than before. This is the best offer for you, again this is just an offer from us. We will not force you to join the Empire. If you are afraid that\'s just an empty promise, haven\'t you heard about the Vassal Contract? We can ensure fairness with the contract." Ashley was quite smooth with the talk. She boosted Tang Shaoyang\'s image in front of the Chief Engin.

"Lower world? How long since the game started?" It was a lie if Chief Engin was not interested in the offer. In the lower world, the dwarves felt strong amongst the weak. He was confident that the dwarves could survive against the others.

"A few months, around four or five months since the game started." Tang Shaoyang pondered for a moment before he gave them the answer. He was not sure, as he did not track the time.

"The offer is valid, and you don\'t have to make the decision right now. I will be in Lukan for at least another month or two months. As for the people of the three kingdoms, you should not worry about them. After I conquer Gigante Forest, I will wage war against them." Tang Shaoyang grinned at Chief Engin.

"Anyway, what about the Dimensional Gate? How long will it take to make one Dimensional Gate?" Tang Shaoyang could sense the two dwarves\' anxiousness and worries. He did not want to press that matter as the dimensional gate was a more important one.

"It will take us a month to make a Dimensional Gate, and for that, you have to pay us a million Game Coins." The second dwarf answered instead of Chief Engin.

"That\'s good for me, but I will only pay a hundred thousand Game Coins upfront. I will pay the rest after I receive the product." Tang Shaoyang did not care about a million, as he had gotten a billion from finishing the Trial of the Epic. "Please draft the contract."

After they settled peacefully on everything, Tang Shaoyang left the underground settlement. After Tang Shaoyang left, Sadrigh entered the building once again.

"How is it? What do they want from us this time?" Sadrigh asked.

Chief Engin told everything about their conversation. The fact that Sadrigh acted hostile toward Tang Shaoyang was for a reason. It was a trick to find out the guest\'s true nature.

"I agree with the dimensional gate project, but the offer is too good to be true." Sadrigh shook his head.

"That\'s why I told them it takes us a month to make the Dimensional Gate. We will see the development in this one month. We will see the situation from the sideline and decide our next move later." The second dwarf replied with a smile.
