"Master Thorton! Master Thorton!" A dwarf continued to call as he knocked on Thorton's doors.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"What is it, you bastard!? Why are you calling like that!? I am already frustrated because my experint failed!"
"This is an urgent matter! There are 2 elves standing outside our town!" The dwarf muttered.
"You fucking piece of shit! So what if there are 2 Elves outside our town!? What's the problem, ask them what is the matter and send them away!
Why are you bothering with sothing so insignificant!?" Thorton shouted.
He was already in a bad mood since, for so reason, his Heaven's Wrath disappeared into the sky.
He searched all over the place but there were no explosions, it was as if it fell into another dinsion.
"Master Thorton, they are not normal Elves, the two of them are Master Stage Cultivators!"
The dwarf muttered and Thorton, who was lying on his sofa with his hand on his head, reacted.
Master Stage Cultivators?
Why are they here?
He frowned.
He then stood up and finally opened the door.
"Are you sure they Master Stage Cultivators?" He questioned.
"Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes."
"Alright, take there."
The two of them then walked towards the Town gates and Thorton's eyes fell on Eillia and Vivian.
"Hmph! You long-eared Bastards, why are you guys here huh? Do you want a weapon? Alright, I will make one for you, but mind you, I will charge you 2 tis the market price!
No bargaining will be allowed.
To be honest, 2 tis the price is already too lenient for long-eared people like you!"
Thorton snorted.
From his words, it was clear that he didn't see Elves in a positive light.
"Haaah!? You still dare to act like that when you att-"
Eillia wanted to retort, however, Vivian just raised his hand and she stopped.
Then Vivian glanced at Thorton and smiled,
"We are not here to buy weapons."
"Then what the hell are you for, huh!? To ask if I shat well?"
"Hmph! As expected of a Dwarf, vulgar and disgusting."
Eillia snorted, even Vivian's mouth twitched a little, however, he controlled himself and continued.
"I need to talk to you about sothing," Vivian muttered.
"I don't talk with Long Eared people. You guys disgust ."
Thorton shook his head,
"Now get the hell out of here before I kick you all out."
"Oh yeah? Why don't you try! Try and fight with us, we will take you and all of the people of your town with just the two of us, you think your weapons can save you!?" Eillia roared in rage and this ti, Vivian didn't stop her.
There was a limit to how polite he could be, he needed the information, not the other way around, so it was normal for him to be in a little disadvantageous position.
,m However, that doesn't an he was doing it entirely for the sake of his race.
He was doing it for the Dwarves as well.
Because he was sure, that if the war starts, Dwarves won't have a good ending.
Actually, he was doing them a favour.
Therefore, if the Dwarves would act like this, he would much rather fight it out than lower his head.
"You think we are scared of weaklings like you!? Bring it on!"
Thorton was about to bring out his weapon, however, soone else stepped in,
"Wait."
"Why did you stop , bastard Tungten?"
Tungten then turned towards Thorton and snorted,
"Just shut the fuck up!"
Yes, Dwarves were vulgar people, however, if that was the case for all the dwarves, they would have never been able to deal with other races, there are a few 'calm' people among dwarves as well. These are the Dwarves who generally deal with foreign affairs.
And Tungten was one of those Dwarves.
Tungten then turned towards Vivian and muttered,
"Why are you here?"
Yes, this was the limit to his politeness.
But it was already at another level compared to other dwarves.
Vivian nodded and then muttered,
"Are you sure you want to talk out in the open? This might cause so misunderstanding."
"It doesn't matter. We trust our people."
Vivian's face twitched.
It was really hard to lips with these people.
"Alright, whatever you say."
Then, he waves his hand and the part of the ground that had those pieces of tals on top of it appeared in his hands.
"Have you seen this tal?"
He questioned as he glanced at the two Dwarves standing in front of him.
Thorton frowned, he then walked closer and picked a piece of tal, however, as soon as he touched it, the tal turned into ash.
His eyes widened in surprise.
"It seems like you know what it is," Vivian muttered as he watched Thorton's expressions.
"Where did you find it?" Thorton questioned.
"Answer my question first, do you what it is?" Vivian questioned back.
Thorton glanced at Vivian and he realized that this man won't answer his question unless he answers him. Normally, he wouldn't have answered if soone asked sothing with an attitude like that, however, he needed to know where he got this tal from.
"It is a tal that I used in one of my weapons, it turning into ash after picking it up must be because of the Fiery Blast ore inside my weapon."
"So you are saying that this tal is from one of your weapons?" Vivian questioned and Thorton nodded.
"See!? I told you! I knew he was the one who attac-" Eillia roared in rage, however, again, Vivian just raised his hand and signalled her to stay silent.
He then glanced at Thorton and narrowed his eyes,
"Have you used that weapon recently?"
Thorton frowned, he did not like where this was going, however, he was too curious to get all the answers, therefore, he answered honestly.
"Yes, I used it 8 hours ago."
"Even the timing matches! I knew it! He was that bastard!" Eillia shouted again, this ti, Vivian didn't stop her either.
His eyes turned a little hostile as well.
To think not only will they attack their village, but they would also even admit it openly.
Is it because there are only two of them? Were they looking down on them?
These bastards!
"It's my turn to ask questioned now, where did you find it?"
While Vivian was busy with his thoughts, Thorton questioned.
"Huh?"
Vivian ca out of his reverie, he then glanced at Thorton's face and was sure that he wasn't lying. Thorton was genuinely confused right now.
"You bastard! Do you think we are fools? Or are you not right with the head departnt!? You dare ask where we found this from after you attacked our village!?"
"Huh? Attack your village? Why the hell would I do that? You fucking woman, are you out of your mind!?" Thorton cursed.
Vivian, who saw his reaction frowned even more.
"What happened, tell us in detail," Tungten, who was hearing everything frowned as well and questioned Vivian.
"8 hours ago, our village was attacked by sothing from the air, the explosion engulfed 10 square km area and we found these tals in the centre of the explosion.
This explosion killed around half of the people living in our village."
Vivian revealed and Tungten's eyes widened in shock.
Timings match, Thorton confird that it was tal from his weapon, it was pretty much guaranteed that Thorton was the one behind the attack,
"That is impossible."
Everyone then heard Thorton's voice and then, their eyes fell on his incredibly serious face.
"The closest village from this Town is 150 km far, there is no way my weapon could travel that far."
Vivian frowned.
"Think about this, first, I have no reason to attack you guys, second, if I was the one who attacked and wanted to hide it, I would never answer your questions.
I would have never admitted that this tal was from my weapon, or that I used my weapon 8 hours ago.
It would be easy for to hide it if I was the one who attacked your village."
"Then who was the one who attacked our town?"
"I do not know that, however, I am sure that this explosion was caused by my weapon.
The range of attack and these tals proves that.
2 weeks ago, soone stole my Weapon, he might be the sa person who attacked your village."
"Do you know who that is?"
"I would have killed him if I knew who he was." Thorton shook his head.
"You said you used your weapon 8 hours ago, correct?" Suddenly, Eillia questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"Yes,"
"What did you use it for?"
"It was an experint."
"Where are the marks of that explosion?" Eillia questioned.
A wry smile appeared on Thorton's face as he shook his head,
"The experint failed. There are no marks."
"How did it fail?"
"The Heaven's Wrath never ca back from the sky."
Thorton answered honestly.
"Does that an that…
Your experint might be the reason behind the destruction of our village?"
