<h4>Chapter 891 - Dark Fae God Canon''s Origin</h4>
Leon did not expect to hear about the dwarf race from the demon territory, nor did he expect them to be so sought after their craftsmanship.
"I don''t remember seeing any dwarf in the secret realm," Leon mentioned.
"That is because the Mad Dwarf n didn''t participate, my Lord. While every n in the Starfall Dominion has the right to participate, not every n chooses to," Nyfare exined.
"The Mad Dwarf n, in particr, is only interested in construction and forging—madly interested enough to ept anymission at base cost. That is why they are quite sought after by the various ns."
"That makes sense," Leon nodded with understanding.
He had seen the Mad Dwarf n''s level of craftsmanship in construction, but he was even more curious about their forging skills.
Dwarves had been fanatics in forging, and their expertise in the field was also high, always.
Nevertheless, even if the Mad Dwarf n''s forging skills end up falling short of Leon''s expectations, his desire to acquire their service doesn''t diminish.
Their skills are extremely useful to the empire''s development ns.
"The Mad Dwarf n is willing to eptmissions at base cost… That is to say that the ns only need to cover the cost of construction materials, and nobor cost is needed..." Leon muttered.
Shortly after, Leon asked with curiosity, "But has any nmissioned them at base cost?"
"Of course! Almost all the demon ns aimed for the base-costmission," Nyfare answered without hesitation.
"Why would anyone pay more when they can pay less?"
"Seriously?"
Leon furrowed his brows with doubt.
Considering how sought the Mad Dwarf n was for construction-rted business, they must have a special status in the demon territory.
"Are the dwarves pushovers or something? Why else are the demon ns able tomission their work at base cost?" Leon asked with a frown.
"Not at all, my Lord," Nyfare waved her hands and denied the wild guess.
"On the contrary, the Mad Dwarf n is terrifying in their own way. The mad dwarves don''t have powerfulbat strengths, but no demon n dares to slight them either."
"One time, one of the Mid-rank demon ns, the Gold Goblin n, tried to subjugate the Mad Dwarf n. They wanted to manipte the price of their construction business to fill their own pockets."
"Unfortunately for Gold Goblin n, the Mad Dwarf n retaliated by blowing up the Gold Goblin n''s mountain peak and burying the entire n living in the caves under it. Since then, not a single n dared to set their eyes on the Mad Dwarf n again."
"But this doesn''t exin why the Mad Dwarf n set such a low price for their service. They are practically working for free," Leon mentioned with a confused look.
They were certainly mad, alright.
No one is willing to work for free in such a dog-eat-dog world unless they have a few loose screws in their head.
"Actually, I am also unsure why the Mad Dwarf n set the price so low. But over the years, everyone collectively agreed that the Mad Dwarf n set the base cost price to receive moremissioned work from other ns," Nyfare stated.
After Leon heard that, he immediately understood the truth of the matter.
"I see," Leon rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"The Mad Dwarf n is passionate about perfecting their craft and do not care about profit. Although rare, dwarves like them do exist."
Nevertheless, it was just a minority of the dwarven race; most dwarves are just as greedy for wealth as they are skilled in their craft.
"When there''s a chance, I will definitely pay the Mad Dwarf n a visit," Leon expressed his interest.
Although Nyfare did not mention it specifically, he could roughly guess the Mad Dwarf n''s capability.
They weren''t powerfulbatants but could still blow up an entire mountain peak; they must be relying on the power of runes.
In other words, they are proficient in the runguage.
Shortly after Nyfare guided Leon into the stone pce, Darlene, Aria, and Duna separated from the group.
The pce servants took them away and led them to their arranged amodations under Nyfare''s instruction.
Leon continued to follow Nyfare down the pce corridor of stone with a grassy floor and rune-powered sconces illuminating the way.
They eventually entered a restricted area, a small hall only essible for the n leader, Nyfare, and others if permitted by her.
There, Leon found the original text of the Dark Fae God Canon recorded on several beast skins attached to the only stone stele in the hall.
The original Dark Fae God Canon was, without a doubt, an extraordinary technique. However, the colorful beast skins themselves were also extraordinary.
They radiated with a colorful aura like the aurora; it was like looking at a rainbow, except neon green, blue, and purple were more dominant among the other colors present.
Leon suspected the beast skins belonged to a God Beast from the primordial era. But as to which specific God Beast the beast skins belonged to, he did not know.
"The original text of the Dark Fae God Canon is all here, my Lord," Nyfare informed.
Leon nodded.
He could guess as much from his observation.
Shortly after scanning a copy of all the runic texts on the beast skins into the Archive, Leon requested Maya prioritize the Dark Fae God Canon''s trantion above everything else.
Within a few breaths, thepletely tranted version appeared in the Archive.
''It''s done,'' Maya informed him.
Needless to say, Leon can never match Maya''s impressive trantion speed. At the very least, he doesn''t see himself catching up to her level any time soon.
Leon closed his and sent his consciousness into the Archive to peruse and memorize the Dark Fae God Canon.
Although he didn''t say anything, Nyfare patiently waited on the side with an expectant look.
…
Sometimeter, Leon reopened his eyes and nced at Nyfare with a peculiar expression.
Contrary to his expectation, the Dark Fae God Canon wasn''t a heritage of the dark fae race; it was a dragon heritage.
