Pa! Pa! Pa…
Grandpa chief took the lead and clapped. His eyes were filled with gratification, pride, and excitement. The dwarves who were awakened by the chief's applause also came to their senses and gave me their warmest applause without hesitation.
I looked at everyone with tears in my eyes. The reason why I could be where I am today is because of everyone here. I have feelings for everyone like family.
Everyone was so generous to me, giving me precious ores that they had collected for generations without hesitation. They took care of me tirelessly, protected me when I was sick, cared for me when I went out, and worried about me. They did everything that a family member could do.
" These are not the most important things. The most important thing is their feelings for me. They are definitely not faking it. Everyone is so good to me, so kind. They look at me with tears in their eyes. I swear…I will never forget how good they are to me.
Grandpa Chief slowly stood up, and instantly…all the applause stopped. The chief looked around and said solemnly,""Alright…I think…there's no need to continue the test. The attack just now has fully displayed his strength. I think…no one will doubt this.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. With my current strength, they simply did not have the qualifications to judge. The only person in the Dwarf Race who had the qualifications to judge was probably the clan leader, who was a high-level warrior!
Grandpa Chief coughed slightly and continued,""Alright…in that case, I will announce the results of this year's test!”
Grandpa Chief's eyes swept across every child's face one by one, and he said with relief,""I announce……this year, all the children who participated in the test have the qualifications to become Apprentice Martial Warriors. And……Leng Mo has reached the level of an Advanced Martial Warrior!”
Pa! Pa! Pa…
Everyone applauded enthusiastically. Every dwarf was proud to have such an outstanding talent in their next generation. My companions even looked at me with admiration. We were all of the same age, and in fact…they were all older than me, yet I had left them far behind in such a short period of time.
I looked at everyone emotionally. This was the reason why I loved them so much. They didn't reject me just because I was a human. Every single one of them treated me like a child of the Dwarf Race. In fact, most of the time, they had completely forgotten that I was a human and not a Dwarf.
Not only did they teach me the dwarven smithing art without revealing a single bit of it, but…they were also happy for my progress, and proud, proud…just like how elders pity and care for their juniors. How could I repay them for treating me like this? No…I can't repay you with anything, because…Dwarves are all optimistic people. They don't need anything, they only know how to selflessly contribute and give…
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the Hundred Battle Saber in his hand that was flashing with a red light. Without him, I would at most be an Intermediate Martial Warrior. However, after I had him, I was already a qualified Advanced Martial Warrior!
The Hundred-battle Saber seemed to have sensed my thoughts. The saber slightly trembled and let out a dragon-like roar. Looking at the treasured saber in my hand, I felt even more grateful to the dwarves. Without them, how could I have the Hundred-battle Saber!
Smiling faintly…I shook my head in a self-deprecating manner. It wasn't just that I didn't have a Hundred-battle Saber. I probably…didn't even know how long I had been dead. Perhaps…my corpse had already turned into dust, or perhaps it had entered the stomach of some magical beast.
Grandpa Chief slightly stretched out his hands and pressed down. Instantly…all the applause stopped once again. Grandpa Chief turned his gaze to us and said indifferently,"Now…I will announce the plan for the next month!”
All the children looked excitedly at the clan leader because they had already roughly guessed what they should do next. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time. This was the biggest goal they had ever had since they were sensible, and now…this goal was finally about to be realized!
As expected…Grandpa Chief smiled kindly, then his expression turned serious and he said seriously,""From tomorrow morning onwards, all the children will follow me to the papaya forest outside the village for training!”
Oh! Oh! Oh…
Hearing the words of their grandfather, all the children cried out happily. They had been looking forward to this day for too long, so much so that they had forgotten how much they had yearned for it. However…when they finally had the chance to leave the village, everyone went crazy and forgot the etiquette that the clan leader should maintain when he spoke.
However…at this time, who would really blame them? Even Grandpa Chief only looked at everyone lovingly, let alone the others.
The children of dwarves were all miserable. From birth to becoming apprentice warriors, they were absolutely not allowed to leave the village. A small slime could easily take their lives, so... they could only live in a small village for fifteen or sixteen years. How could ordinary people understand the hardships!
I smiled as I looked at all my companions, happy that they were able to leave the village. Although the environment of the Dwarf Village was beautiful, to the children, no matter how beautiful it was, it was just like a prison. Even if it was renovated like a presidential suite, the prison was still a prison. No one was willing to stay in it for more than ten years, let alone lively children.
My eyes swept across the excited expressions of my companions. Suddenly…I pulled my gaze back. Behind my companions, the eyes of the dwarven girls were filled with envy. Some of the girls were even sad because they were born as girls.
As mentioned earlier, although the Dwarf girls were short, they were not as sturdy as the other Dwarf boys. In other words, they could not become blacksmiths at all. They did not have the strength, so…in their entire lives, they could not take a step out of the Dwarf village!
Of course…they were not completely useless. Every dwarf girl was a master of the most exquisite armor. The soft leather armor they made was the favorite armor of all archers on the continent. The armor of the dwarfs was not inferior to the weapons of the dwarfs at all.
At the same time, they could also make the hard leather armor that warriors liked the most, chain armor, knight composite armor, pure steel plate armor... a series of armor. However, as long as it involved iron and metal, they had to rely on their husbands 'help. Without the sturdy armor parts made by the dwarves, no matter how nimble they were, they could not make the armor that was famous throughout the continent.
As a boy, I didn't learn any armor-making skills. What I know now is only plate armor. That's what high-level warriors and knights wear. It's the kind of armor that is similar to the European full-coverage corrosion armor. It's purely forged by blacksmiths.
Looking at my excited companions before me, then looking at the disappointed and resentful Dwarf girl in the distance, I couldn't help but tremble violently. I really wanted to do something for them. At the very least…I wanted to give them a chance to see the outside world.
Thinking of this…I resolutely turned around and respectfully said to Grandpa Chief,""Grandpa Chief, I…I have a suggestion. I wonder if I can say it?”
Grandpa Chief was very happy. It could be said that there was a great harvest this year. Not only did all the children pass the Apprentice Martial Warrior test, but his personal disciples had also reached the level of an Advanced Martial Warrior. How could he not be happy? When he saw that I had a suggestion, he immediately gestured for me to say it.
After organizing my words, I sincerely said to Grandpa Chief,"Grandpa Chief…I think…maybe we can let the Dwarf sisters go out with us. I think they also want to see the outside world!”
Upon hearing my suggestion, all the Dwarf sisters excitedly cupped their hands in front of their chests and looked at Grandpa Chief with anticipation. That's right…they were also going crazy wanting to leave the village to take a look!
Grandpa Chief didn't expect me to ask such a question. He frowned awkwardly and said,""But…they don't have the ability to protect themselves. If they go out like this, it will be very dangerous. I have to take good care of the children participating in the trial, so…I can't take care of them at all.”
After thinking for a moment, the grandfather shook his head again and said,""With their weak physiques, a single attack from the slime can kill them. You have to know that the impact of the slime is not small. One hit can break all their ribs!”
All the girls lowered their heads in disappointment. They knew that this was the truth. There had been dwarf girls who had left the village without permission in the past, but in the end…the dwarf uncle who was chasing after her saw her being hit by a slime. After he rescued her, he found that all her ribs had been broken. She only lived for ten minutes before she died. From then on, all dwarf girls were forbidden to leave the village!
