BXBX NOVEL Chapter 411 The New Dwarf King
Thus, it was imperative that a new king appeared, or the kingdom was doomed to a civil war that would turn into a play between other countries to choose the best dummy to govern the kingdom, so they would be able to control it from the shadows while swallowing it bit a bit.
There haven’t been any conflicts until that moment because they thought that someone would appear to speak. Thus, they were all waiting while the situation was tense in fear of offending the one who provoked the mess.
However, that state wouldn’t last for long if no one appeared to speak, and it would be unavoidable that conflict started.
Yale opened the cell where the deceased king’s brother was captured, and Line destroyed the shackles.
The deceased king’s brother didn’t seem to have any problem with his body, but given that he was a Law God, it wasn’t that surprising. Although he would still suffer a bit from the tortures, it was mostly psychological because there is no way that he could be harmed especially given that as a blacksmith he had a well-trained body and didn’t fear the fire at all.
Those flames were scary to someone like Julie, but the flames that a Law God in the Smith Law used to create weapons were far more powerful, so they weren’t a big problem.
"I don’t know who you are but thank you for freeing me."
Immediately after being freed the man kneeled in front of Yale and Lina. He was a man capable of distinguishing between friends and foes, and those who freed him from the prison were definitely his friends.
"I am Yale, and she is my girlfriend, Lina. Some of our friends and family were kidnaped by your stupid brother, so we dealt with the situation. Your brother is already dead, and his soul is reincarnating in an endless circle of suffering."
Usually, a person would be mad hearing that something like that happened to a family member, but the man who had just been freed smiled in happiness.
"Great! He deserved it! He dared to kill our father and knock me out before framing me. I am deeply grateful for helping me to deal with this family matter and avenge my father’s death."
In the man’s heart, avenging his father’s unfair death was far more important than his own freedom. Although his father hadn’t been the best man in the world and also committed a lot of mistakes in his life, he was still a father who treated his sons very well. Thus, he never expected that one of his sons would kill him.
He would have expected it from spies and assassins sent by other countries to deal with him due to past grudges, but never that his own son, due to the greed of power, would kill him.
"We just did it because he annoyed us. We helped you just as a side-effect. You should announce yourself as the new king and explain the truth about the past if you want to avoid a war in this kingdom."
Although the man couldn’t see the level of Yale and Lina, he was sure that both of them were far stronger than himself.
In fact, he would support them if they wanted to rule the kingdom themselves since he never had any ambition of power. As long he could smith as much as he wanted, he would be happy enough, things like ruling a country had never been of his interest.
Of course, he also understood that such powerful people weren’t interested in a puny piece of land directly and wanted a dummy.
Moreover, since his father had worked so hard in the past for the country, he was decided to dedicate his life to the kingdom even if it was obeying the orders of Yale and Lina.
"Don’t worry. We don’t have any interest in this kingdom. If we wanted to be the rulers, it wouldn’t be difficult at all even without you, and I am the owner of this world, being a king would just lower my status."
Yale could guess the doubts of the man that he appointed as the next king. Although he didn’t mind becoming a dummy in Yale’s hands, Yale didn’t have any intention of interfering with the Dwarf Kingdom as long as the Dwarf Kingdom didn’t annoy him.
"The owner of this world? You mean that you are that legendary ruler of the eastern continent?"
He had heard from his father that the ruler of the eastern continent considered himself the world, and since was the son of the man who created it, it wasn’t inappropriate that he was considered like that.
"I am quite tired of the people of the western continent looking down on me. The world is mine, not only the eastern continent. I just have no interest in interfering, but lately, some people had grown too daring here, so I came back to show who is the ruler here. I already destroyed the countries who opposed to me. If it wasn’t because you are Tofesh’s grand-disciple and the legitimate king of this kingdom, don’t doubt that there wouldn’t be a Dwarf kingdom right now."
Yale wasn’t truly interested in destroying a whole kingdom and before he did it when controlled by the Last Wish System, but showing authority was important to avoid others from having funny ideas about revolt.
The man knew about his grandmaster and his relationship with the ruler of the eastern continent, so even though he never met Tofesh in person, he still had a deep veneration for him.
"It is my honor to have such a great grandmaster. I am guilty of having failed to live to my grandmaster’s expectations."
He was just being polite in front of Yale, but he really felt shameful from having fallen into his brother’s trap.
"No need to be polite, I don’t like that, and I doubt that Tofesh would be disappointed. I heard that you are a great blacksmith and he was the master of your master in that area, so I am sure that he would be proud of you."
The fact that one was a great blacksmith wasn’t equivalent to be a good fighter, and a master who taught only one area wouldn’t bother too much in the others.
"By the way, take a look to my sword. Do you think that it is possible to improve it?"
Yale didn’t fear that the other party would reject to improve the sword if that were possible, the main problem was if it was possible to improve it.
"Isn’t this the best work of my grandmaster?"
He had heard of that sword from his master, but he never expected to be able to look it directly. He really couldn’t believe that someone who wasn’t even a Law Master could create something like that. He was sure that one would become a Law God by creating something like that.
To improve in the Smith Law, the only thing needed was to work as a blacksmith and craft something good enough to make the breakthrough, so it was weird that someone who created that sword was unable to advance.
"Impossible. The quality of the sword is at the Law God rank due to the materials used, but the craftsmanship used is at a level I can’t even grasp. Let alone improving it. I am not even confident in creating something similar."
He shook his head while worshipping his grandmaster even more for having created such an awesome sword.
"I guessed that it was the case, but I needed to try. I like this sword a lot, but given my current power, it is insufficient and will end breaking at any moment while battling."
The battle against Lina was a good example of the fragility of the sword, but Yale knew that in a real battle there wouldn’t be any nullifying effect and Yale didn’t want that the sword broke. After all, that sword was proof of his friendship with Tofesh and had a lot of sentimental value.
"I am sorry for my incompetence."
He knew his limits and didn’t dare to put airs in front of Yale. In any case, he wouldn’t dare to touch the masterpiece of his grandmaster without being completely sure that he wouldn’t destroy it in the process.
"It isn’t your fault that Tofesh was so good at this. Come, let’s go to the palace, it is better if we don’t lose more time. You all, go to Lina’s world for now. We want to go back stealthy, but with you all, it would be difficult."
Lina teleported everyone except Ange, Yale and the new Dwarf King to her world, and Yale then teleported Ange to the Storage Space.
After all, his sisters were there, so as a member of his family, Ange should also go there.
They left the matter of freeing the rest of captives for latter since they needed to investigate the prisoners first and just rushed to the palace without letting others see them.
Since they were the strongest existences in the kingdom, no one noticed about them at all.
