Chapter 875

(Unedited)



2 days later…

The plan of the soldiers to spread the epidemic in the city has already begun and they are now waiting for it to take effect.

Many of the dwarves in the city are now showing pale complexions and weakness, along with the soldiers even the generals, and the commanders.

As of this moment, Shin Jiao is still inside the dilapidated house with Warkita who has already recovered from her condition. The streets are empty and it looks like the whole city is like a ghost town. No soul could be seen anywhere.

Shin Jiao has already expected this but those in the high command that orc.h.e.s.trated such a thing did not expect that this would happen.

The reason for this is Shin Jiao's machination. Shin Jiao has already deliberately spread the poison through those soldiers and it spread throughout the city.

As of this moment, only those that are in the High-mage level or 20th level warrior or higher could still move and suppress the effect of the poison. But they are already in a weakened state.

Inside the barracks where Loom is currently being held, the commanders and the general who propagated this thing are all weakly sitting behind a long table.

"What is happening?!" shouted the general while slamming his fist to the table.

The group of high-commanding soldiers around him lowered their heads. Who can they ask right now when even the alchemist who created the poison is also weak and some have even fainted.

Suddenly one of the commanders said.

"Could it be that the human is the one responsible for this?"

"The human? How could he do that? That man is just a merchant and a mage. He could not be an alchemist too, right?"

"It is possible… we still could not find him and Warkita even now."

"Damn it. How could this happen? Will the humans invade our kingdom at this time? We don't even have sentries now… We must close our borders, if not our whole kingdom will surely be destroyed."

"Damn… is this… retribution?"

"All of you shut up!" the general suddenly became angry.

He could not accept the fact that their plan has failed. They should have easily subdued the king and his minions, the Diggingsons should have risen to power. But now, it seems that they have caused everyone to die.

Only a few would be able to survive this tragedy. And he knew that they are the ones who caused it. So his guilt is now eating at his conscience. He was the cause of the downfall of his race.

"No, this is not my fault, right? That's right… it is that human and Warkita's fault. I must punish them… I must kill her daughter… that is the only way to appease this tragedy of my people." the general thought as a vicious glint appears in his eyes.

"Go to the dungeons and bring me Loombwark…" he commanded.

With that command, a commander weakly walks out of the room.



The whole city is already in a state of desolation as everyone is inside their own homes lying in their beds feeling weak and helpless. The soldiers are lying on the ground while suffering the dangerous effect of the poison.

The three walks to the Merchant Guild and saw no one. When they walk up the stairs and open the door, they saw a dwarf sitting weakly on a seat while gloomily looking above.

That figure seems to have been startled when he saw the three.

"You… How could this…" Hoodwig Logmaster looks at Shin Jiao and his group with disbelief.

"Hello, Mr. Hoodwig… Nice to see you again." Shin Jiao said calmly.

"Sigh… Is… is this your doing?" Hoodwig sighs helplessly.

"Nope…" Shin Jiao immediately denied it.

Hoodwig glances at him doubtfully. How could he believe that it was not the human's work when he is fine and everyone in the kingdom is sick? And also those two with him are called his accomplice, they too are also fine. So this doubt of his has been reinforced by the evidence in front of his eyes.

Shin Jiao did not answer him and just produce a piece of crystal. He then takes out a flat-screen TV made of crystal and then plugs the recording crystal on a slot on its side.

It did not take long before a scene was projected in front of Hoodwig. Then he saw what the general and many commanders have been planning and this made his expression turned pale.

"General Grable is not part of the Diggingsons family, right? How…"

"He is not part of the family, but his wife and sworn brother are." Warkita suddenly said.

The expression of Hoodwig turned serious. He knows knew that this should be a plot to return the Diggingsons or the Mineros family to the seat of the throne. However, this plot is not that strong how could they…

With this in mind, he suddenly thought of a possible reason for the confidence of the Mineros family.

"No, they could not have done that…" as he was thinking as such he soon heard something happening in the city.

In one of the entrances of the city, a loud explosion suddenly happened. This explosion caused the whole cavern to shake. From the second floor of the Merchant building in its elevated location, Shin Jiao and the group could see thick dark smoke rising in the air.

"No… they have allied themselves with the Scavengers!" Hoodwig said with an alarmed tone.

"It's not them… it was the… alchemists." Shin Jiao said.

This revelation stunned Hoodwig.

"Impossible! How could those alchemists do this? They are…" before he could answer, he suddenly remembers the poison that spreads through the kingdom.

"So the goblins provided the formula for the poison and the alchemist planned everything ahead of time… Damn it!" Hoodwig smashed his hand on the table.

Shin Jiao did not say anything and just watches the happening outside. He is of no liberty to help these guys. He fell into their trap and wanted to even blame him for this tragedy. How could he extend an olive branch and help them?

But he also knew that the innocent dwarven citizen is not part of this coup. But of course, he still did not want to help them as he is not that concerned about their safety. He already knew that if they died, their souls would just be recycled and once again enter this world after a few days, so why should he care?

However, this is different with Loom and Warkita. The two are showing panic in their eyes and concern for their people. When they turn towards Shin Jiao and saw the indifference on his face, they knew that he is not going to help.

"Master Shin… Can… Can I borrow some weapons and armor… I want to fight and help the people of my race." Loom suddenly said while biting her lower lip.

"Yes, Master Shin… Grant us this honor and we, mother and daughter will be your loyal servant from now on." Warkita also wanted to fight.

Shin Jiao looks at the two small women and shook his head. He forgot that these two belong to the dwarven race and wanted to help their race defend against these invaders.

"Hmm… Alright, but I think you should watch before doing anything else…" Shin Jiao suddenly pointed to the ceiling of the huge cavern.

Floating above the city is the figure of the king of the dwarves, Aboros Stonebreaker.

"I… I want to fight too…" Hoodwig said as he forces himself to stand up.

But his 15th level strength is not enough to suppress the poison on his body as he became weak.

Shin Jiao could see the determination in the old dwarf's eyes and he was a bit touch. He took out a pill and then grabs some water on the side.

Hoodwig did not expect this and he was forced to drink the pill in one go. He even coughs as he weakly kneels on the floor on all fours.

"What… what have you feed me?" he asked.

"The antidote…" Shin Jiao casually said with a smirk.

Hoodwig was a bit stunned but already knew this fact because of the two unaffected women.
