Chapter 111: Loan
Tens of thousands feet underground, was a gigantic cavern, and tens of miles-wide lava-rivers that had been rapidly flowing across the cavern.
Over tens of thousands tall and strong men, who had slave-marks branded between their eyebrows, were standing beside those lava-rivers with their bodies bared, and scooping out scorching hot metal liquid from those lava-rivers with special, huge ladles.
The metal liquid, which was shining with eye-piercing lights, were ceaselessly flowing into a few gigantic smelting furnaces that were located tens of miles away, along with some special metal channels. The odd-shaped furnaces were floating in the air. On the ground below the furnaces, were fire-holes with a radius of a few feet, from which, cyan flame-pillars that had been transformed from the earth-flame, were coming from the deepest area of the earth’s core, and were spurting out of the ground. Those solid-like flame-pillars had been steadily holding those furnaces up in the air.
From time to time, spheres of alloy liquid that were mixed with a few different types of metal liquids according to a certain percentage, would fly out from the furnaces, heavily drop on forge tables far from the furnaces, while bringing up large amounts of fire sparks. Tens of thousands of forging tables were placed orderly in lines, and a few short yet especially strong and muscular men were standing beside each forging table.
All of these strong men were waving different-sized metal hammers and quickly striking those alloy liquids on the forging tables alone with loud clangs, slowly forging the alloy liquid into the rough shapes of all kinds of weapons. Machetes, swords, arrows, crossbows, armours and shields...all kinds of large-scale tools and roughly shaped weapons would consequently be carried into the deeper area of the cavern and placed orderly in a series of small, honeycombs-like caves of groups of creatures that had short and small figures, and had been running around in the cavern.
This underground cavern was a gigantic arsenal. The flame and the furnaces, the great heat was ruling everything in this cavern.
Large groups of heavily armed Jia Clan warriors were walking around the cavern; once those hard-working slaves showed any slag or made any forbidden move, a horrible beating would be given to them, even worse, they would be thrown straight into the lava-rivers and burned alive.
Di Sha had changed into some casual clothes, and was guided by a short and small shaped creature, while frowningly walking into this huge cavern.
After walking along a spiral path on the cavern wall, under the constantly changing, weird light in the cavern, for quite a while, Di Sha and the guiding creature finally walked up to a square-shaped door in front of a small cave, which was located on top of the cavern. Two beautiful and elegant young girls smilingly pushed the door open for him, right after which, a gust of cold air puffed out of the door, making Di Sha, who was feeling extremely hot and dry, instantly quiver from the chill.
A weird chuckling sound came from inside the small cave, followed by which, a small and sharp voice slowly said, “My honoured guest, come in please, just come in quickly, do not let the horribly hot air get inside here. Those damn slaves, the stinking smell of their bodies is killing me.”
Di Sha walked into the small cave quickly. After a hundreds of zhangs long corridors, a broad and bright space showed up.
This was a well-designed room, which had a radius of hundreds of zhangs; all the decorations in the room were extremely exquisite and luxurious. The floor of the room was paved in thick furs of rare animals, beautiful and luxurious tapestry were hung on all four walls; there were no lights in the room, instead, thousands of different-sized luminous pearls had been inlaid in the ceiling; the snow-white light that emitted from those luminous pearls had been enlightening the room brightly.
In the middle of the room, a fat, elderly man was standing behind an exquisitely crafted table that was made from red coral, with his legs crossed; the elderly man seemingly was quickly writing something in a thick account book.
Seeing Di Sha come, the elderly man put the pen down and closed the account book, smilingly thrust his hand out towards Di Sha; in the meanwhile, he started talking.
“Di Sha, Di Sha, ah, I remember the last time I saw you was over five-hundred and thirty years ago, at your grandfather’s birthday ceremony. Hm, I’ve heard that you have done pretty well during all these years, you kid, have earned a lot of money from me...look at those slaves down there, half of them were purchased from your Blood Fang, costing me quite a fortune!”
When the elderly man said the few words ‘quite a fortune’, a greedy green light quickly flashed across his pupils; on his round and chubby face, five eyes wildly opened altogether.
Yu Clan’s clansmen had three eyes, Jia Clan’s clansmen had four eyes, and on the face of this elderly man were five eyes.
