Chapter 336: Ethan’s Anger and Killing Intent, Idiot!
Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Ethan’s Anger and Killing Intent, Idiot!
In the golden hall, Malcolm’s eyes were unusually deep, filled with a kind of wisdom that did not seem to match a dwarf.
Ethan had been watching him, and Malcolm had also been watching Ethan.
The fact that a Demon Duke had come to the Undercity as an envoy showed that the Demon Clan did have some sincerity.
But not much.
Still, that was not what Malcolm cared about. He only cared about one thing: how much benefit the Red Dwarves Clan could gain.
“Well… that’s not very convenient to reveal. But we are very confident that we can take Earth with the smallest possible losses.”
“Of course, that is only if you can help the Demon Clan forge that item.” A smile appeared on Ethan’s face again.
He had actually arrived at the Undercity two days ago, but Malcolm had refused to see him the whole time.
He had already spent two boring days in the Undercity.
“These Red Dwarves either start duels over the smallest disagreement, or they get drunk and shout all over the place. They’re so noisy.” Ethan actually disliked the Red Dwarves quite a bit.
But in order to complete the task given by Lord Demon God , he had forced himself to endure it.
Now, at last, things were finally moving forward.
“The Wraith race has a hard time uniting as one. The Miko race has no true ruler, and the two… or rather, three Primordial Miko cannot agree with each other.”
“As for the Skeleton race, they are backed by the even more powerful the Swarm.”
“And then there are the orcs, dark elves, goblins… all of them are eager to make a move.” Malcolm slowly stood up.
If the races of the Abyss were not constantly fighting each other, Earth would have been conquered long ago.
At this stage, even if Earth were taken, they would still have to face the greed of other the Abyss races.
Malcolm did not really want to enter the conflict so early. The main reason was that without the Scarlet Skull Goblet, one of the Red Dwarves Clan’s most important sources of strength had become more and more unstable.
If anything unexpected happened while working with the Demon Clan, it would be a huge blow to the Red Dwarves Clan.
But the Scarlet Skull Goblet had to be taken back.
Malcolm’s eyes flickered as he said to Ethan, “The item you want is truly difficult to forge.”
“How about this? Give me the Scarlet Skull Goblet first. Then, once you have prepared all the materials, we can begin forging it.”
Ethan immediately shook his head and said with an apologetic look, “Sorry, Lord Demon God told me that the Scarlet Skull Goblet can only be given to you as payment after that item has been successfully forged.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of disappointment flashed through Malcolm’s eyes.
He had already guessed this would be the answer.
“Have you Demon Clan already prepared the materials?” Malcolm asked.
Before Ethan could answer, a Red Dwarves soldier hurried over and whispered something in Malcolm’s ear.
At once, Malcolm’s expression changed sharply.
“Syed is actually still alive?” Malcolm said without thinking.
At once, all the Red Dwarves ministers in the hall were stunned.
“How is that possible? Didn’t Syed die a few years ago?”
“Exactly. Could the information be wrong?”
“If it’s true, then this could be bad. If he finds out Karls has been locked up for so long, he will definitely fly into a rage!”
“That’s right. He’s Karls’s teacher!”
“Sigh, a lot of powerful Red Dwarves had Syed forge equipment for them back then, and many Forge Master were also guided by him. If he clashes with His Majesty, then…”
Ethan frowned at once. He had been having a good conversation with Malcolm, so where had this Syed suddenly come from?
“Let’s talk about the alliance later.”
“Something unexpected has happened. It’s not too serious, but I need to deal with it first. After that, we can continue our earlier discussion.” Malcolm stroked his beard hard.
If he had known Syed was still alive, he would never have chosen to sacrifice Karls.
Now the situation was nowhere near as easy to handle as he had made it sound.
Syed might not be as strong as him, but his status was almost equal to Malcolm’s as King of the Red Dwarves.
In fact, in the hearts of most Red Dwarves Forgemaster, Syed held a higher place than he did.
“Silence!” Malcolm took a deep breath and shouted in a heavy voice.
At once, the Red Dwarves ministers who had been talking all fell silent.
Ethan took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, I represent the Demon Clan. Perhaps I may be able to help you with this.”
Malcolm was just about to refuse when another Red Dwarves soldier came running in, his face full of panic.
“Your Majesty, this is bad! Lord Syed entered the prison and took Karls away!”
“He is now flying here with Fiona, and also a human and a Miko!”
As soon as those words were spoken, Malcolm’s brow tightened.
Malcolm did not even have time to care about Ethan staying there. He took a deep breath and reached out toward the throne of the Red Dwarves.
The moment his fingers touched the throne, a red light suddenly flashed.
In the next moment, the throne that symbolized the status and authority of the King of the Red Dwarves suddenly turned into a giant black hammer and was gripped in Malcolm’s hand.
A few seconds later, Syed’s voice suddenly came from outside the palace.
“Malcolm, long time no see!”
Boom!
The palace ceiling was smashed open on the spot.
Countless broken bricks and clouds of dust flew everywhere.
Malcolm let out a light breath, and at once the shattered bricks and dust were blown away.
He replied slowly, “If possible, I would rather not see you at all.”
Syed slowly descended with a bald Red Dwarves, Fiona, and also Cheryl and Aiden.
The moment he saw them, Ethan’s eyes widened. In shock, he immediately raised a finger and pointed at Aiden.
“It’s you?”
“Human, you actually dare to show yourself here!”
At once, Ethan’s eyes filled with bloodlust, killing intent, and fierce anger.
He had never imagined that that damned human would appear right in front of him like this!
That’s right, and there was also the Miko who had stolen his dragon egg!
“You damn thief, I’ll kill you!” Furious, Ethan suddenly spread the wings on his back and tried to attack Aiden.
But in the very next moment, a white cloud suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ethan, burning with rage, suddenly had his pupils shrink. The wings he had just spread instantly folded back.
A stiff and awkward smile appeared on his face as he slowly stepped back to Malcolm’s side.
There was no other reason. The moment that cloud appeared, he felt a strong sense of deadly danger, and that forced him to calm down.
Syed frowned, looked at Malcolm, and said calmly:
“When did the Red Dwarves start bowing to Demon?”
The moment those words were spoken, Malcolm’s face turned dark with anger.
He and Syed were in the middle of talking, and then Ethan, that damned Demon, suddenly tried to attack.
Didn’t that clearly show that Ethan had no respect at all for him, the King of the Red Dwarves?
“You misunderstood. Ethan is an envoy of Demon Clan. Demon Clan wants to become our ally,” Malcolm had no choice but to explain.
He gave Ethan a cold look and said slowly, “You should leave now.”
Ethan took a deep breath, clearly unwilling to accept it.
If Aiden and that Miko were not here, he would have left already.
“Wait, an alliance? Have you been hit in the head with a hammer? You actually want to become allies with Demon?” Syed could not help saying.
Malcolm’s face grew even uglier as he shouted back sharply,
“Shut up. If you keep provoking me, don’t blame me for taking action!”
He was the King of the Red Dwarves!
Faced with Malcolm’s anger, Syed fell silent for a moment.
If they really fought, he would not be Malcolm’s match. But a Forgemaster’s true strength was not battle power. It was status and prestige.
He was certain that Malcolm would not easily choose to fight him.
Besides, Syed also did not want the Red Dwarves to fall into internal conflict again.
That was why he stayed silent.
Malcolm took a deep breath, then turned to Ethan, who was still standing there, and asked,
“Have all the materials needed to forge that item been prepared?”
Ethan’s eyes lit up at once. Without any hesitation, he quickly replied,
“Of course. All the materials are ready. Even the most important part, ten thousand humans, only needs your approval, and they will be transported to the dungeon at once!”
“10,000 humans?”
Aiden’s eyes narrowed at once as he looked toward Ethan.
He saw Ethan lift his chin in provocation, showing an ugly smile.
And Syed, who had been silent just moments ago, suddenly changed expression when he heard that ten thousand humans were needed.
“Banner of Doom? Malcolm, have you lost your mind?”
“That thing is a tool of indiscriminate slaughter. Once it is forged and used on the enemy, it won’t matter whether it’s a newborn baby or a helpless old man. All of them will be infected by the cursed banner, tortured to death, and even their soul will be devoured!” Syed said.
Malcolm gave a cold snort and replied, “War cannot be avoided.”
Ethan smiled and added, “Our Demon Clan would never betray an ally. Besides all kinds of supplies and materials, we will also return the Red Dwarves’ important treasure, Scarlet Skull Goblet, as payment.”
Scarlet Skull Goblet?
Syed froze for a moment.
He instinctively turned to look at Aiden.
Wasn’t Scarlet Skull Goblet on Aiden?
“Are you sure? Is Scarlet Skull Goblet really in Demon’s hands?” Syed could not help asking.
Ethan nodded confidently.
He had just opened his mouth to say something when Aiden suddenly moved a little and cursed,
“Idiot.”
