“Hahaha!! Elin, you little bitch. The day has arrived that the Elven race has split!”

Watching the show from the sidelines, the dwarf burst into laughter at this moment. He laughed so hard that he bent over, pounding the ground with his hands.

Elin shot an annoyed look at the dwarf, struggling to maintain a gentle expression. “Thotmudo, can you please shut up while I’m talking to this young brother?”

“Sure.” Unexpectedly, the dwarf named Thotmudo readily nodded, covering his mouth. However, his laughter couldn’t be contained for long. He burst into laughter again.

“I just can’t help but laugh when I see it. Ah- I’m an innocent elf-” The dwarf began to imitate Elin’s previous actions in a mocking tone, which appeared incredibly comical. The effect of mockery was at its maximum, immediately breaking through Elin’s defenses.

“You, mutated dwarf, if 1 were to get out, I would make you taste the pain of being pierced by the Thousand Vine!” Elin exclaimed in anger.

“Hey, pointy ears! We dwarves can knock you elves flat with a single blow, and you’d be unrecognizable even to your own mothers!!” Thotmudo countered with unwavering determination.

As Elin and Thotmudo suddenly engaged in an argument, Ji Chen, caught in the middle, wore a puzzled expression.

It seemed that the complex relationship between elves and dwarves in many fantasy worlds was reflected here as well, just like water and fire.

Since Thotmudo could be imprisoned here, he probably wasn’t an ordinary dwarf, right?

Ji Chen looked closely.

[Dwarf Hero: Thotmudo]

[Race]: Dwarf

[Level]: 78

[Tier]: Epic (Golden)

[Skills]: ???

Well, it was another formidable figure that couldn’t be provoked, no less than Elin.

Nevertheless, as Ji Chen observed the elf Elin and the dwarf Thotmudo engaging in their heated argument filled with mentions of body parts and family ties, it reminded him of middle-aged men and women quarreling on a street corner.

“… Perhaps your dwarven race has also abandoned honor, split into various factions, and even started killing each other!!”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! The great dwarves would never split or harm their fellow brethren! Human, tell us, how is the dwarven race faring in the outside world?”

Both Thotmudo and Elin turned to look at Ji Chen.

Ji Chen hesitated for a moment. He didn’t know much about dwarves, but he was certain…

“Dwarves have indeed split, even more so than elves. There are different factions like Black Iron Dwarves, Mountain Dwarves, Ice Dwarves… They’ve even had wars amongst themselves. Many dwarves lost their homes and became mercenaries…”

“Hahaha! Thotmudo, did you hear that? Dwarves have split even more than elves, even to the point of killing each other and becoming mercenaries! The honor you speak of is practically worthless!” Elin mocked loudly without mercy.

In essence, it was a competition to see who could degrade the other more.

Elves might have split, but at least one faction established a prosperous empire that was well-known in the world.

Dwarves, on the other hand, not only split but were far from the status of elves.

The difference between the two was clear.

Upon hearing Ji Chen’s response, Thotmudo looked disbelieving, collapsed to the ground, and muttered to himself, “How could it be? How could dwarves split and harm their fellow brethren? This can’t be true…”

Looking at Thotmudo’s expression of shattered belief, Ji Chen felt a twinge of sympathy.

However, being an epic-tier hero, Thotmudo swiftly collected himself. He gazed at Ji Chen with sincerity and expressed, “1 must witness the condition of the dwarves firsthand to be convinced. Human, 1 seek your assistance in escaping this place. If I manage to break free, I shall surely express my gratitude generously in due time.” 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

In the future?

Ji Chen couldn’t help but smirk.

Empty promises like these were hard to believe.

As if in agreement, Elin immediately burst into a scoffing laugh. She mocked, “Thotmudo, do you think anyone would believe what you’re saying? Everyone knows that the dwarven race is notorious for being stingy. You’ll probably disappear without a trace the moment you step outside.”

Thotmudo, exposed, blushed and stubbornly raised his head, his voice full of determination. “Impossible, absolutely impossible! I, Thotmudo, always keep my promises. 1 walk the talk.”

Elin gave him a disdainful look and then turned to Ji Chen with a smile. Her voice softened, “Young brother, unlike Thotmudo, this old guy with a twisted heart, I, as an elf, absolutely keep my promises.”

“I have several high-tier treasures hidden outside, any one of which, once revealed, could drive people crazy. If you help me escape, I’ll immediately fetch them and present them to you as a gift!”

“High-tier treasures?”

Seeing Ji Chen finally respond, Elin spoke up immediately.

“That’s right, they’re all top-tier 7-star treasures. It took me a lot of effort and resources to obtain them, and they possess formidable power.”

Upon hearing this, Thotmudo couldn’t hold back either and hurriedly added, “1 also have a few 7-star treasures. Human, you should know that dwarves excel in forging, right? I’m a legendary-level blacksmith among the dwarves, a rarity even among our race. If you help me escape, and if you provide the necessary materials, I can craft ten treasures for you without charge!”

Legendary blacksmith!?

Ji Chen inwardly took a deep breath, nearly giving in to the temptation immediately.

Legendary blacksmiths were extremely rare. Starting from the novice level, a blacksmith would have to progress through intermediate, advanced, expert, master, and grandmaster levels before reaching the legendary tier.

Master-level blacksmiths could already receive VIP treatment in a kingdom or principality. What about a legendary tier?

In other words, legendary blacksmiths were like finding a needle in a haystack, even rarer than a three-legged horse.

“You see, 1 am more sincere than that pointy ears, right?” Thotmudo gloated, glancing at Elin. Seeing her stunned expression, he felt even more pleased.

“Seems like a good deal…”

“It would be such a long wait for you to forget ten treasures.”

Elin immediately retorted, gritting her teeth. She threw her chips on the table again, “As long as you help me escape, 1 can offer you three thousand beautiful elves to serve as your harem. You can revel every night, live a life of luxury, just like a human king.”

Tsk~ When treasures are lacking, do you resort to using allure?

It was truly amazing, oh wait, no, it was despicable.

Ji Chen had no doubt that Elin could actually make this happen. A level 79 epic-tier elf powerhouse was still among the most elite even in the present.

Such matters were, to put it mildly, insignificant to her.

Ji Chen felt a slight twinge of temptation, but he only showed a hint of interest on his face and said lightly, “Seems like this might be a good deal…”

His attention shifted back to Thotmudo, waiting to see what card he would play next.

Come on, unleash it all, go all out!

Now Ji Chen held absolute control, ensuring he would gain the maximum advantage.

Thotmudo’s face turned red with frustration. He knew that dwarves were definitely not as appealing as elves in terms of appearance, so he angrily shouted, “Damn pointy-eared elf, if you’ve got guts, challenge dwarves head-on! Don’t resort to these lowly tactics!”

Elin covered her mouth and sneered, “Appearance is also a weapon, clever people know how to use it better. If you’ve got the guts, why not use such methods too!?”

“You despicable…”

Watching the two of them suddenly argue again, Ji Chen shook his head with a slight headache.

He simply plopped down on the ground and began to watch the show.

Actually, in Ji Chen’s heart, he was more inclined to help Elin escape.

After all, she was an elf, and according to previous information, she likely held a high status as an elf powerhouse from thousands of years ago.

Moreover, the Crown of the Ocean had some connection to the elven race in terms of commerce.

So, by rescuing her, he could significantly strengthen the relationship between the Crown of the Ocean and the elven race, gaining more benefits.

Besides, acquiring the friendship of an epic-tier elf powerhouse was also a substantial wealth.

However, at the same time, Ji Chen had some reservations.

This place was a prison, housing prisoners.

And prisoners were likely here due to certain crimes, Elin included. He wasn’t sure why she qualified to stay in such a luxurious prison.

This factor left him hesitating..
