Chapter 210 - A Little man's request
While everyone remained silent in the room, all that could be heard was the sound of the dwarf eating his food away.
Suddenly, Ray started to laugh.
"Yes, you are right," Ray said, "how could you expect to do business with a boy."
Then Ray's hair started to go from Red to Black. His height and body proportions started to match that of an a.d.u.l.t until he had finally transformed into the man known as Nes.
"Is this more to your liking?" Ray asked.
Suddenly the dwarf stopped eating and stared at Ray in admiration.
"A mage and not just any mage a powerful one at that." The dwarf said. "I'm sorry about my rudeness before, come sit, enjoy some food with me."
Ray did as asked and sat down at the table with the dwarf. He cancelled his transformation and returned to being the 17-year-old red-haired boy Ray.
"Lad, I cannot get used to that, I've never seen anything like that in my life." The dwarf said.
The two of them continued to eat and chat away getting to know each other a little more. To Slyvia's surprise, it looked like the two of them got along well. It was a first for Slyvia as every new interaction with Ray usually went bad and Ray didn't open himself up to people like this when he first met them.
But unknown to Sylvia, this was all because Ray was talking to a dwarf. It wasn't a human, he bore no ill will or grudges against the dwarves and right now this one, in particular, was even agreeing to help him.
After talking for a little while Ray found out that the dwarves name was Randin. A long time ago he was out hunting a beast in the sea when their ship got wrecked and he ended up drifting all the way to Bronzeland.
He wasn't sure if the others had survived but so far he hadn't met another dwarf in Bronzeland. When he heard about the request, he got excited thinking that maybe a dwarf warrior had drifted onto the land as well.
As the humans didn't even know there was a way to put beast equipment on beasts. Although Randin was saddened when he first met Ray, his mood was quickly lifted when he noticed the two of them had more things in common than he first thought.
Randin was at the old age of 223 but his body didn't look it at all. As long as a dwarf kept in good health, they could live up to 500 years of age, so Randin was young for a dwarf. For some reason though when Randin talked to Ray, it didn't feel like he was talking to someone only 17 years of age but someone much wiser and older.
Although there were times when Ray would say something that made him sound his age. A random thought popped into Randin's head, it felt like he was talking to two entirely different people at times.
"I suppose we should start getting down to business then," Randin said. "Take me to the beautiful beast and I will see what I can do. "
Slyvia, Ray and Randin then headed outside to the training centre. At the moment there were many students doing their daily training routine. As soon as Ray appeared on the filed. They stopped what they were doing to acknowledge Ray by bowing down to him and calling him boss.
"It's a bit strange that you make your men do that," Randin said.
Ray started to shake his head in embarrassment.
"Unfortunately, this was all set up by one of my men without my knowledge," Ray replied.
Randin then started to look around the training field but then felt a little strange when he saw no beast.
"I see no beast here, why have you brought me here?"
"We needed to be outside for this," Ray said as he activated his summon skill by placing his hand on the ground.
Suddenly, a large glowing circle appeared on the ground and slowly a beast started to emerge as if it was coming from another dimension.
A large black-furred wolf had appeared the size of a small house.
Randin was so lost for words that when his loosely fit monocle fell off his face, he did nothing to place it back.
"She's beautiful!" Randin said, "But how, is it another type of magic?"
"I guess you can call it that."
Randin then started to examine Noir. He slowly had a look at her legs and then placed his hand on top of her fur.
"Do you mind sitting for me girl," Randin asked, and as he said that, Noir laid down so Randin could get a better look.
Ray was impressed, Noir seemed to be completely relaxed around the dwarf. Something he hadn't expected.
After Randin finished expecting the beast, he came back over to Slyvia and Ray.
"What do you think, will you be able to create something for her?" Ray asked.
"It should be no problem but I'm afraid your beast is more powerful than I first thought." Randin said, "although I do know the method to create beast armour, for her, we will need at least an advanced tier crystal for this task."
Slyvia and Ray then looked at each other. One of Ray's other request was to inform if they had managed to find an advanced tier beast but so far, they had no luck.
"What's the problem?" Randin asked as he saw the look on their faces.
"Our members have been unable to find any advanced tier beasts in the area, its as if they all went away for some reason," Slyvia replied.
"Well you're in luck, on my way here I hired some adventurers to escort me. We travelled through the desert not too far from here and were attacked by a Scorpion killer. They weren't strong enough to beat the beasts but we were able to get away safely."
"That's great news, do you mind telling us where it is, we will be happy to pay you for the information," Slyvia said.
"No need to pay me young lady but I have one request." Randin then walked up and looked at Ray. "I want you to take me with you."
