Emperor of Arcane

Ashes was a little nervous now because he felt that his thoughts were seen through by the barbarian soldier in front of him.

This barbarian soldier was taller and more dangerous than any barbarian he had ever seen.

The sense of crisis originating from the depths of his heart told him that if he had any thoughts that he shouldn't have, the other party could easily kill him.

What makes Ashes even more afraid is that these barbarian soldiers, who are comparable to trolls and jackals, are not only very powerful, but their weapons and equipment are also not bad at all.

Ashes had a confrontation with the gnolls under the control of the drow.

Except for most of the trash cannon fodder, those highly valued high-level gnolls who used the sophisticated equipment provided by the drow once caused him considerable trouble.

what does that mean?

This spellcaster lord is not only powerful and financially wealthy, but his methods are also amazing.

To subdue these powerful barbarian soldiers, no matter what methods the other side uses, they will not make it easy for the gray dwarves.

Fortunately, he knew the common language. When he saw the questioning looks of the tribesmen, he gave them a reassuring look, and then took the lead in following Matthew's footsteps.

Seeing that these gray dwarves were so "obedient", Beelzebub recalled the task assigned to him by the lord, and approached Ashes, who was obviously the leader, and asked:

"What kind of food do you like to eat? The lord is in a good mood today. I should be able to satisfy your request."

A good mood?

How are you feeling?

Is it because we have more experimental materials?

It was difficult for Hui Jin not to think too much. Looking at Beelzebub who was quite familiar, he gritted his teeth and asked:

"What do you do when your lord is in a good mood?"

Beelzebub glanced at him calmly, and his acting skills had obviously improved a lot. He patted his shoulder lightly. Thanks to his long arms, he would have to bend down otherwise.

it is more than words!

Feeling the tremendous power coming from Beelzebub's palm, the ashes after a simple comparison extinguished many overestimating thoughts.

Can't afford it!

Ashes then thought again:

"Let's pick some foods we like to eat? What does this mean?"

"A delicious last meal?"

"You shouldn't? If you want experimental subjects, there's no need to buy the old and the weak, women and children too..."

The reason why Ashes knew so clearly was because he had done similar things when he was the city lord.

Now that I am referring to myself and others, I naturally feel a little panicked.

However, when Hui Jin and others followed Matthew and walked to the street, they immediately attracted the attention of many adventurers.

Most adventurers know very well that the Gulf Territory does not pay special attention to race or region, but only attaches great importance to rules and culture.

People who come to the Gulf Territory must learn to use Oriental dialect and Oriental characters.

The reason is very simple. Eastern characters are the most concise and excellent, and can express the most meanings with the fewest numbers.

Of course, in the eyes of most adventurers, this is one of the strange rules of the lord, a way to express himself and the authority of the territory.

The adventurers were more interested in the gray dwarves in front of them.

The evil, crazy kobolds were subdued in the bay.

The stupid, man-eating trolls have become prisoners of the Gulf Territory, and only a few of them are studying and working hard.

Countless chaotic fishmen have become the managers of the territorial waters of the bay.

They are huge in number, sometimes chaotic, but exceptionally obedient to orders.

Some people have even seen that the Gulf Leader subdued some ogres and turned them into very qualified workers.

Such methods and transformation effects really make the adventurers feel quite crazy.

This is one of the reasons why everyone is very "obedient".

They don’t want to be part of being “reformed.”

Of course, this is also the reason why Matthew did not accept adventurers in large numbers.

They travel a lot, have seen a lot, and are not so easy to "buy".

"Is that the dwarf? Why did so many appear at once?"

"That's definitely not a dwarf. It's not like we've never seen dwarves before. What's more, the Netheril Empire doesn't allow dwarf slaves..."

"You're right, our relationship with the dwarves is quite good..."

"Aren't they cooperating with the Grand Arcanist Kenonorman recently? I heard they don't seem to be quiet..."

"These are gray dwarves. Don't get me wrong. They are located deeper in the underground world and are much more difficult to deal with than the dwarves."

"They are quite strong, and some of them can master psychic spells, and their melee combat abilities are quite good..."

"Grey dwarves? If nothing else happens, the number of gray dwarves in the Gulf Territory will increase."

"..."

Ashes heard their discussion along the way. He listened and thought carefully, and did not hear any unlucky words such as "experiment", "death", and "unlucky".

This made Hui Jin's originally high-spirited heart feel a little relieved.

After all, as long as you can survive, there is hope.

Gray dwarves love life more than dwarves.

This is the resilience passed down after they paid a huge price to overthrow the rule of the Mind Flayer Empire.

Now, Ashes was trying his best to think about how to convince the Lord not to throw them into the laboratory.

"Perhaps, we should show our strength and value more..."

"No, these alone are not enough? These barbarian soldiers are so powerful, which shows that he does not lack soldiers or cannon fodder..."

"What about taking the initiative to reveal some skills? That should have some effect."

"The forging technology of our gray dwarves is still very good..."

However, it is not a good thing for those children who have not mastered this skill and the elderly with weak strength.

Feeling a little headache, Ashes even forgot to reply to Beelzebub.

The latter didn't care, and took them to a spacious canteen hall, and said to Butler Ralph, who had been waiting for a long time:

"It seems that they are not so reassured, let's make the decision ourselves!"

Butler Ralph, who had already prepared, asked the guys in the kitchen to start working.

At the same time, Beelzebub directly took a barrel of wine and signaled Old John, the best drinker, to start.

Old John, who was quite skillful, came over with ale, looked into the gray dwarf's complicated eyes, smiled slightly and said loudly in dwarf language:

"Don't worry, everyone. Now that we have arrived at the bay, everyone's life safety is guaranteed."

"Everyone should not drink too much today. Each person can receive a small bowl."

"Then, we will make barbecue and sausages that gray dwarves love for everyone, and also prepare some fresh mushroom soup..."

Smelling the fresh and refreshing aroma of wine, Hui Jin could not help but swallow his saliva.

It was really hard for him to resist the temptation in front of him, and the same was true for the gray dwarves who started to stir up behind him.

Then, everyone's movements immediately stopped, and their eyes stared blankly at the teeth falling from the sky, as if they had been cast a "body-holding spell".

How to make the slightly evil, greedy, and grumpy gray dwarves obedient?

Carrot and stick!
