Chapter 21: The Dwarfs of Lonely Mountain

The level 1 Raging Bear’s attributes were not worth seeing.

After Bear One was accepted as a pet, for the next three days, William waited for the rest of the cubs to wake up, and then accepted them as pets. Especially under his ‘handsome’ endowment, the cubs liking for him increased rapidly.

In this ‘Gods’ game, there were three kinds of good impressions.

The first was a good impression of the camp and was calculated in terms of tens of thousands.

The second was the good impression of friends, calculated in terms of thousands. (including NPC)

The third was the good impression of pets, calculated in terms of hundreds.

Only when a pet’s good impression reached 300 points, could it then reach the point where it would not betray its owner!

But not everything could be generalized. If players abused their pets all day long, it would also lead to a straight decline in a good impression. But that did not mean that one could be unscrupulous when the good impression was full and that they could start doing crazy and nasty things to their pets.

The three cute cubs grew at a very fast speed. In a few days, they were able to stroll around the town with William and roll around like pugs.

And the good impression the three cubs had for him soared again in his company over the next few days.

William had a deep understanding of brushing up the good impression of pets. In his last life, there had been many players who had forcibly captured adult pets and it was almost killing them to brush up the good impression of those pets. Later, the players gradually found that if it was a young pet, they did not need to spend so much money, material, and effort because the intelligence of young pets was not high and it was enough just to play with them.

It was a different story if it was an adult pet.

If one wanted to get a good impression from a nearly adult high-level magical beast, you had to spend a huge amount of money!

Players needed to meet the various needs of their pets, food, warmth, and even mating partners…

There was no other way.

If one wanted his pet to contribute, he would have to take care of it first.

He vaguely remembered that in his last life, there had been a dorky cute girl who was lucky enough to have won the favor of a Dragon beast, that was, a magical beast with Giant Dragon blood.

However, because the girl did not meet the needs of the magical beast, it flapped its wings and left.

So, the big guys who could really afford pets basically belonged to those who would lose their assets…

One of the most critical things was that the pets in ‘Gods’ were not the same as those in other games.

Pets in other games could be revived when they died, but their attributes were very low. For example, if you caught a very powerful monster to be your pet, its attributes would inevitably be weakened and its level would go back to zero, so you would have to train it again. Although there was a slight possibility that pets might escape from their owners, it was almost zero.

But no matter what level the pets in ‘Gods’ were caught at, it would remain at that level and the attributes would still be cool!

But when it died, it really die…

The pets in ‘Gods’ could be the second partner of players!

In the past, many players had vented their frustrations on the forum because their had pets died…

There really were players who caught extraordinary pets and it was no problem for that one player to fight against a group of a hundred people. That was one of the reasons some players would become the guild’s favorite after they had gotten high-level pets.

“Very good, very good. The same level of high-level magical beast could also fight against hundreds of players in the middle stages of the game. As long as the level of my pet does not fall, players will be like leeks in the future. A roar from the bear and it will sweep through them!” William finally breathed a sigh of relief after he got away from the three clinging cubs.

He walked in the town alone, and could not help feeling how formidable the town was as he looked at the locals who were so bored they were chatting and playing cards outside their doors.

The past two days he seemed to be walking the bears, but he was also looking around the town.

He wouldn’t know if he didn’t look.

It was a shock at first sight.

A town of only three thousand people.

Had at least 2000 professionals…

There were only six or seven hundred civilians who were feeding themselves by farming.

“No wonder my mom has given me 500 Elfin Warriors as guards. If I don’t have enough guards, won’t I be bullied by these muscular men?” William went to the edge of the cliff and watched the mist splash up from the waterfall.

Along the river below, he saw the northern plain and knew the Iron Duchy was there, although it was too far away to be seen by the naked eye. He murmured, “Although there are some powerful guys in the town, I can’t subdue them now. The best thing is to show my strength so that they can see that I’m an outstanding Lord. A Lord who is able to develop and expand the town.

“And let them see that my potential for growth is great. Only then can I really make contact or even let them make contact with me themselves!

“Then, we’ll continue deeper into Blackleaf Forest. The Orcs should only attack me for the sake of the mineral mine or because they think I’m easy to bully. I think it has nothing to do with the Giant Dragon in the Snowy Mountain at the East Sea.

“After all, all the Dragon races in the world are lazy. Except for moving during their heat period and getting into trouble, they are either sleeping or dozing off.

But without civilians, the town really can’t develop!” William suddenly had a headache when he thought about it.

The development of the town could never be without manpower.

Mining might be done by Orcs.

But what about expanding the town?

Building fortifications?

Or making equipment and so on?

Was he going to rely on the Orc captives?

This was absolutely impossible!

“Do I have to buy slaves?” William frowned. He did not think it was a good idea, at least for now. The town was short of money and food now, and there was no place for the slaves to settle down after buying them.

Even if he did buy them, he could only buy them through the Iron Duchy and Black Rock Duchy. However, these two duchies had covetous eyes on him. They had had ulterior motives for a long time and wanted to occupy the town. They would probably let him buy many spies.

After all, it was highly likely that these two duchies had assassinated his past self.

Even if they had not done it, these two duchies would not sit and do nothing when they saw that he was developing the town and would definitely cause trouble for him.

Although the location of the town was excellent, there was a cliff that was more than 80 meters high as a natural moat, but if a duchy were to attack, it would be very difficult for a border town to use this natural moat for defense.

“Then, I’ll have to keep a low profile when doing things!” William sighed and just as he was troubled about how to develop the town., some unexpected news came!

“The Orcs and Dwarfs are fighting?” William was a little confused. He didn’t think that there were Dwarfs hidden near the town!

“That’s right. Thirty miles away from the iron mine, there are some Dwarfs. I heard that they are Dwarfs from the Lonely Mountain. The Orcs must have gathered their forces to attack them, but we got rid of them…” Lautner shrugged, showing that he was also curious about why the Dwarfs were here.

“The Dwarfs of the Lonely Mountain?”

Lautner nodded. “It should be. Since the death of the Dwarf King of Lonely Mountain a thousand years ago, they had been divided into seven kingdoms from a huge Dwarfen empire. However, there are still many who have entered the barren mountains or forests and I heard that there are a group of Dwarfs who have been hiding in Blackleaf Forest. Perhaps it’s them.”

“Then we really should make some contact. If we can help, we should help these good neighbors!” William said with a grin.

Then both of them spoke at the same time, “After all, Elves and Dwarfs are good companions forever!”

As soon as their voices fell Lautner met with his eyes and they smiled again. But the smile was very complicated…
