"Wait!" Lu Yunrui shouted.
Lu Yunrui had forced this sound out with his inner energy. The people nearby did not feel anything different, but when they heard it, it was like a thunderclap in the ears of the person. They could not help but tremble. They stopped and looked at Lu Yunrui in shock.
"It seems that you're going to die if I don't punish you," Lu Yunrui said with a smile. In that case, let me punish you!”
Hearing this, the man lowered his sword and said,""Since you want to punish me, I will naturally accept it.”
" I want you to work for me in the future," Lu Yunrui said." From now on, you will be my follower until the day I leave this planet. Otherwise, you are not allowed to work for others." Can you do it?"
Beside him, Li Qiang said in surprise,"Ah? To be your sidekick? Was this a punishment or a reward? Can you give me a punishment like this too? I want it too!"
That person had long since abandoned his sword and knelt down at Lu Yunrui's feet.""Du Tong greets Master! From now on, I will follow my master and never betray him! If I break this oath, I will be punished by the heavens and die under the mouths of insects and ants!”
Lu Yunrui hurriedly helped Du Tong up and said,""General Du, you don't need to swear this oath. I believe that you are a loyal person. It's really hard on you to make you my follower!”
Li Qiang shouted in surprise,""Du Tong? Which Du Tong are you? It couldn't be Du Tong, one of the rising stars of China's Eight Great Young Masters, right?”
Lu Yunrui heard this and asked Li Qiang,""What eight rising stars?"
Li Qiang explained,"Xia Country has two civil, two legal, and four martial arts." Two articles are Lai Yuqing and Hu Wenguang, two laws are Xi Lijuan and Li Zongyan. The four martial artists were Du Tong, Ma Qingshan, Liu Yubin, and Li Ziwen. These eight people were all young talents. The scholars were well-versed, the mages were proficient in techniques, and the martial artists were skilled. They were known as the Eight Great Rookies by the people.”
After listening to Li Qiang's explanation, Lu Yunrui and the others focused their eyes on Du Tong, waiting to hear what he had to say.
"Don't mention this again, it'll only make people feel ashamed!" Du Tong said impressively.”
"I didn't expect you to have such a great reputation in the past. You're not simple!" Lu Yunrui laughed.”
"Master, please don't mock me." Du Tong smiled bitterly. What am I in front of you? I don't even have the courage to fight you!”
"Mr. Lu's demeanor and bearing at that time were like the arrival of a god. As a bystander, I felt my heart skip a beat and my limbs turn cold. You're already not bad enough. If it were me, I'm afraid that aura alone would take my life away.”
Lu Yunrui smiled and changed the topic."You're a general of Xia Country. If you rely on me in the future, will it bring harm to your family?”
Du Tong thought for a moment,"Probably not." I'm also doing things according to the rules of the continent. There's nothing wrong with it. They have no reason to vent their anger on my family.”
"I'm just afraid that someone who's not capable in the open will secretly harm your family," Lu Yunrui said. It's just that I can't think of where to send your family, and I don't know if you have a place to settle them. If you do, I suggest that you move your family to another place to stay in case something happens in the future.”
Li Qiang also interjected,"Mr. Lu is right." It was always good to be on guard early. If you have nowhere else to go, you might as well come to Qin City. Although it's harder there than elsewhere, with my Li family taking care of it, safety shouldn't be a problem.”
Du Tong no longer insisted and said,"In that case, I'll settle my family down in Qin City." At that time, I'll have to trouble the Li brothers!”
Li Qiang said," It doesn't matter. You're working with Mr. Lu now, so you're considered Mr. Lu's man." Ever since my big brother returned from the Elf Tribe, he has been thinking about Mister Lu. If he can help Mister Lu do something, my big brother will definitely be very happy.”
Du Tong sighed." I've heard that the three brothers of the Li family in Qin City, although they are merchants, are people of great righteousness. It seems that what you said is true!"
"What's your next step?" Lu Yunrui asked Li Qiang.”
Li Qiang replied," Our deal with the Dwarf Race has been completed. We were going to return to Qin City, but we didn't expect to be attacked here. Many people were killed or injured." Now, it seemed that he could only return to the Dwarf Race for the time being and rest.”Then, he asked Lu Yunrui,"Mr. Lu, are you going to the Dwarf Race to do something?"”
Lu Yunrui nodded." That's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you here by chance."”
Li Qiang said happily,"In this way, we can travel together." It'll also allow me to get closer to Mr. Lu.”
Lu Yunrui smiled and said to Du Tong,"I think we might as well split up. You should take advantage of the fact that no one knows about your situation and quickly return home to prepare for the relocation. When we return from the Dwarf Race, your entire family will follow the merchant group to Qin City. What do you think?"
Du Tong turned over and knelt down. Even if Du Tong's liver and brain were to be poured on the ground, he would also be unable to repay his master's kindness!”He thanked Li Qiang again,"Thank you, Brother Li, for letting go of our past grudges and helping me take care of my family." I will remember Brother Li's kindness and repay it in the future!”
Lu Yunrui quickly helped Du Tong up." Although you and I are master and servant in name, you are still free." You don't have to do this in the future!"
Li Qiang also said,"Since you are Mr. Lu's man in the future, you should let go of the past." You don't have to take it to heart anymore. In the future, just work for Mr. Lu in peace!”
Du Tong repeatedly agreed.
Lu Yunrui summoned the Wind Guard and Water One and said to Du Tong,""I'll send the two of them with you to assist you. You've seen their abilities with your own eyes. It shouldn't be a problem for them to help you protect your family.”He then said to Second Guard," The two of you follow Mr Dean back. You must protect his family well. Listen to Mr Dean's instructions and inform me if anything happens."”
The two guards responded in unison.
Lu Yunrui then said to Du Tong,"Take advantage of the fact that there's no one around. Quickly take them away, lest others see them and it's not good for you." In addition, they are not humans. They don't need to eat or rest. You don't have to entertain them. If there's anything, just assign them to do it!”
Du Tong didn't say anything else. He just bowed to Lu Yunrui and the others, turned around, and left with the two guards.
Lu Yunrui and the others also returned to the caravan and helped organize the supplies. They also freed up a few cars to carry the bodies of the seriously injured and the dead. Lu Yunrui stored the remaining resources into the ring.
Only now did Lu Yunrui know that interspatial rings were rare items on the continent. Only a very small number of people possessed them, so its value was needless to say.
After everything was packed up, the caravan immediately left the canyon and rushed to the dwarfs 'encampment.
That evening, the caravan entered the dwarfs 'encampment. Under Parker's lead, the merchant group didn't stop along the way, heading deep into the encampment. Several times, the dwarf in charge of patrolling stepped forward to stop them. When he realized that Parker was leading the way, he only asked a few cursory questions and allowed them to pass. The caravan only stopped when they passed through a cave tunnel and entered a huge cave in the middle of the mountain.
The caravan stopped, and countless dwarves poured out from the caves on all sides. Upon seeing Parker, the dwarves all greeted him warmly. Parker only gave a brief greeting before leaving the caravan to his clansmen to take care of. He then went into a small cave alone and disappeared without a trace.
After Parker left, the dwarves first moved the heavily injured people out of the car and placed them aside to take good care of them. Then, they brought over a lot of tables, chairs, and food, and called for everyone to rest.
Lu Yunrui stood in the open space and looked around carefully. He saw that the walls of the cave were filled with small caves. The small caves were arranged in a few layers, and the distribution was very regular. At a glance, it was obvious that they were man-made. The shape was very similar to the man-made caves seen in ancient pictures. At the top of the cave was a protruding platform. The platform seemed to be very wide, but it was quite a distance from the ground. From below, one could not see what it looked like, nor could one see what was behind it. Although the entire cave was in the middle of the mountain, it was not dark. He did not know how these dwarves did it.
The Dwarf Race loved wine, especially strong liquor. Lu Yunrui had already learned about this from Kimura. He had also prepared a lot of the elves 'newly brewed white wine in his ring.
Seeing that there was quite a lot of alcohol in the food that the dwarves brought, Lu Yunrui casually took a cup and took a sip. He only felt that it was spicy and strong. It should be comparable to the alcohol content of white wine. However, its taste was much worse than white wine.
As a result, Lu Yunrui was secretly relieved, and his confidence in persuading the dwarves to come out and help him increased.
After an unknown period of time, a loud horn sounded. As the bugle sounded, the dwarves all stood up and bowed to the platform at the top of the cave.
Looking up, there were many people standing on the platform. A bearded man with a crown on his head was standing at the front of the platform, looking down at everyone in the cave.
"My dear clansmen and esteemed guests, today is an unusual day. "Today, our Elder Parker has brought a distinguished guest to everyone. He is the God's Chosen One mentioned in Saint Matoron's prophecy 500 years ago. He is an elder of the Elven Race, Mister Lu Yunrui!”The Dwarf King said loudly to the people in the cave.
Hearing the Dwarf King's words, the dwarves were boiling with excitement and cheered loudly. Immediately after, the elves who came with Lu Yunrui also joined in the cheers. Influenced by them, the people in the caravan also cheered together. In an instant, the entire cave became a boiling ocean.
The Dwarf King waved his arms and waited for the crowd to quieten down before continuing,""Now, let's invite our esteemed guest, Mr. Lu, to ascend the platform of our Dwarf Race and accept our congratulations!”
As soon as the Dwarf King finished speaking, the horn sounded again. Immediately after, a group of dwarves rushed out of a cave and lined up on both sides of the cave in two rows. Soon after, two dwarves appeared at the entrance of the cave. They spread a red felt carpet from the cave to Lu Yunrui's feet. Then, they bowed and stood on both sides of the carpet, waiting for Lu Yunrui to step onto it.
