Just as Ebik had hoped, Otto lost interest in the remaining volcanic cores.
Furthermore, the silver dragon kindly sealed up the constantly flowing magma tunnel.
Although the surroundings were still a mess, the Black Iron Dwarves would have a much easier time repairing the Fire Forge Furnace in the future.
The three entire volcanic cores provided considerable help to Otto, and he felt an intense fatigue that required him to sleep once again.
However, he had long been used to this situation and could endure it for some time.
He still had some questions for Ebik.
“How is the construction of the underground tunnel going?”
At this point, Otto and Ebik had returned to normal ground.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Ebik said, “The metal tracks leading from Red Copper Castle to Black Iron Field and the Sulfur Mountains have been laid.
Also, the Magic Train is undergoing experimental operation between Red Copper Castle and Black Iron Field.
Currently, the energy source is the Magic Crystal, which generates plenty of power and runs at a high speed.
We believe that it will not take long before it can operate normally.”
“How large is the Magic Train? Or, how many people can it accommodate?”
To this question, Ebik quickly replied, “From what we’ve seen so far, a fully loaded Magic Train can hold about four to five hundred Black Iron Dwarves.”
“Too small!”
“What?”
Ebik looked puzzled at Otto, who sternly said, “I’m saying that the Magic Train is too small; what use is it with only four to five hundred people?
I need you to upgrade it as soon as possible, with enough room to fit at least one or two thousand people!”
“This currently presents some difficulties…”
Ebik looked troubled.
But Otto ruthlessly said, “Difficulties are meant to be overcome; I don’t care about the process, only the result.
During the research and experimentation process, you can ask Saru for anything you need.”
“Very well, as you wish, Your Majesty…”
Seeing Otto’s unyielding stance, Ebik sighed and accepted his fate.
Just before Otto left, Ebik, as if remembering something, addressed him, “Your Majesty, I don’t know if you still have any impression of the Mountain King.”
“Mountain King?”
Thinking for a moment, Otto remembered that he had met the man before the Young Death Tatum Hill.
However, he had not seen him since then.
“So, what’s the problem?”
Hearing Otto’s question, a disdainful smile appeared on Ebik’s face.
He sneered, “Just a couple of days ago, the Mountain King sent a messenger to Red Copper Castle, stating that the Mountain Dwarves were willing to befriend the Black Iron Dwarves for generations and form an alliance in advancing and retreating together.
He even wanted to covet the Fire Forge Furnace and share all the veins in the sky-high mountains with the Black Iron Dwarves.
I still remember when he fled back to Mountain Castle like a crippled dog with his tail between his legs.
I really don’t know how that fool had the nerve to say those words to me…”
After hearing this, Otto more or less understood the situation.
“I heard he has a Legendary Warhammer in his hand, doesn’t he?”
Dangerous look crept over Otto’s face.
Ebik hesitated for a moment, then nodded in confirmation.
“I will grant you command of the Soaring Dragon Legion. You have only one week to annihilate those ungrateful fools and then deliver the Mountain King’s Legendary Warhammer with a bow tied around it to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.”
As long as he had the Soaring Dragon Legion’s help, this would not be a difficult task.
And so, Ebik readily took on the task.
After Otto left, Ebik solemnly sat on the throne that once belonged to the Red Copper King.
All this time, he still didn’t know if what he was doing was right.
But the moment he touched the throne, he realized that the Red Copper Dwarves were history and the Mountain Dwarves would also suffer the wrath of the Silver Dragon Lord.
Of the former Three Hammer Alliance, only the Black Iron Dwarves could continue under his leadership, in addition to gaining Red Copper Castle and a large amount of veins.
It would not be long before Mountain Castle would become their possession.
Evidence showed that his choice was indeed the right one!
A satisfied smile appeared on Ebik’s face.
Land of the Soaring Dragon.
When Otto returned to the Council Chamber, he saw Sofia first.
The half-elf girl seemed to have recovered well, and Otto greeted her before climbing onto the treasure-laden Blackstone Platform and falling into a deep sleep.
After Otto fell asleep, Moray, who was surprisingly well-behaved lately, floated out from behind Sofia.
“Are you sure you don’t want to tell him about this? After all, you’ve done so much for him…”
Moray’s tone sounded somewhat indignant on Sofia’s behalf.
As one of the parties involved, Sofia appeared calm and told Moray, “Prepare more of that nutrient solution that we used before.”
As they found out recently, with sufficient nutrient intake, Otto’s sleeping time could be significantly reduced.
Sofia was still regretting that if they had discovered this earlier, Otto wouldn’t have slept for several years.
“I really don’t understand what’s so great about this big clumsy dragon that makes you go to such lengths for him…”
Moray muttered under his breath, clearly unsatisfied with Otto, but eventually he prepared the special nutrient solution according to Sofia’s request.
It was still a sticky, slimy goo with a strange taste…
A few days ago, in order to be able to use the powerful Meteor Strike Skill, Sofia had used the scale inscribed with the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual.
At the time, everything seemed to go smoothly.
However, once they returned to the Land of the Soaring Dragon and had ample time to study the changes, Sofia and Moray discovered some problems.
The Dragonborn Transformation was certainly circumvented and temporarily acted as a mana reserve,
but they had forgotten one thing at the time: the Blood Covenant.
In their haste, Sofia hadn’t even considered removing the Blood Covenant before using Otto’s scale.
In short, Sofia was now bound to Otto like the creatures of the Soaring Dragon Legion and had offered her whole heart and soul to him.
“Don’t worry; even without the Blood Covenant, I would never betray the big, clumsy dragon.”
Sofia stuck her hand into the gooey mess and laughed at Moray, “So, nothing’s changed in our daily lives, has it?”
