Chapter 133 Grey Forest's Craftsmanship

The dwarf Greyson, clad in heavy iron armor, sat in the center of his shop's main hall, his warhammer at his feet, and his two equally well-armored, large wives beside him.

They had been waiting all night, their minds and bodies tormented by fear, leaving them utterly exhausted.

As the morning light began to appear outside the door, and the "sanitation" workers sweeping the streets had already started their work, Grayson muttered to himself, "Could I have misheard...? But that was clearly the voice of 'Thor's Wrath'."

Last night, a rumble of thunder suddenly came from outside the city. Although the sound was faint, Grayforge recognized it immediately as the sound of the dwarves' unique "Wrath of the Thunder God".

"They still haven't given up, they've chased us all the way here..." Upon hearing the thunder, Gray Forest began to don his armor, preparing for battle, but inwardly he lamented, "Am I going to have to leave this city again?"

That day, to escape Morpheus and the Grand Elder, he brought his wife and children with Qin Mo to Dayuan. Over the course of more than a year, he completely fell in love with this seaside city.

Danshui City has dedicated sanitation workers, whom Qin Mo gave a strange name—sanitation workers. But no matter how strange their name is, everyone is happy that the city is gradually becoming cleaner.

The city streets are lined with deep ditches covered with slabs made of a mixture of bamboo and "cement." Water drawn from the river washes away the city's sewage all the way to the sea.

The dedicated toilets and collection vehicles have helped everyone get rid of the habit of urinating and defecating anywhere. If you are caught urinating or defecating anywhere, you will have to clean the toilets for a month. Now no locals are foolish enough to get caught anymore. The ones who are caught are usually newcomers from other places.

Grayson's shop was located not far from the city gate, in an area designated by Qin Mo as a "commercial district." The neat two-story building was filled with all sorts of shops, all owned by locals, with Grayson being the only outsider.

Soon after arriving, Grayson noticed the difference between Kamamizu Castle and Edo Castle: the people here were wealthier, and if your goods were good, someone who knew their value would buy them. Grayson even traded a set of hunting gear for a bag of gold dust from a peasant, and he was overjoyed that his two wives served him well for an entire night.

But now, all of this is about to be shattered by the thunder outside the city. Since the "Wrath of Thor" has already begun to rumble, it must be that Morpheus and his men have clashed with the garrison of Dayuan. Since they dare to cause trouble in Dayuan, they must have the support of the dwarven high command. My peaceful life will not continue no matter what.

"Greywood, did you really hear the sound of 'Thor's Wrath'? It's all lit up, why is no one coming?"

Grayson's wife finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Grayson a question. Grayson usually had a very good temper, but whenever it came to the internal affairs of the Dwarfs, he would become extremely irritable and easily angered, and his wife would become very gentle.

Just as Grayson was about to answer, there was a knock on the door.

"It's finally here," Grayson took a deep breath, picked up his warhammer, and forcefully pulled open the tomb's gate.

"I... Grey Forest, what are you doing? Who have you gotten into trouble with this time? Let me tell you, I protected you last time because I couldn't bear to see your skills ruined. If you go into another fight, I won't plead for you with the Prince."

There were seven or eight men standing outside the door, all of them strong and muscular. The leader was a short, chubby man whose silk clothes and large jade thumb ring indicated his status as a nouveau riche.

"Oh! Mr. Lin, so early... What brings you here?"

Grayson breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the fat man outside the door, and quickly threw down his warhammer to ask his purpose. He knew this Boss Lin was a distant relative of the Prince's chief steward, with very powerful connections, and was not to be offended.

"Hey Gray Forest, what time is it? You think it's still early? What about the goods I ordered? You didn't forget to deliver them today, did you?" The fat man was clearly unhappy. Didn't he know it was early? Who doesn't want to sleep in? It's all about making money, isn't it?

"Oh, Mr. Lin, your goods are all ready. Please have a seat and some tea. We'll prepare it for you right away." Grayson's two wives shoved the still-dazed Grayson aside and gestured for him to sit down.

Greyson peeked out at the street again. The few figures scattered around were all locals who had gotten up early. He let out a heavy sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease: "It seems I really did mishear. Maybe I've been too tired at night lately and my ears are hallucinating."

Grey Forest made several sets of armor for Boss Lin, each one a masterpiece, which greatly pleased Lin Yongjin. These were all intended to be resold to the northern battlefield, where the nobles were not short of money in order to save their lives.

Every month, caravans deliver alcohol to the north. Lin Yongjin was able to travel north with the caravans only because he had a distant uncle's connections. The roads are very chaotic now, and the sale of arms is regulated. Ordinary people can't do this kind of business.

"Greyson! You only make me a few sets of armor each month, how can that be enough to sell? Give me at least ten sets next month!" After Lin Yongjin's subordinate took the goods away, he made a new request to Greyson in a great mood.

"Boss Lin, this is already my best effort. I not only have to forge armor and weapons, but also spend time thinking about the essence of forging." Ignoring the longing looks in his two wives' eyes, Grayson firmly declined Lin Yongjin's new order.

"Grey Forest! I, Lin, have never shortchanged you by a single penny. I didn't even haggle, which is more than enough face for you! You should at least give me that same face!"
