The heavy snow in Sandstone City has not stopped. This desert city is now completely free of the scorching heat and resembles a northern polar city.

"The climate of this world is really interesting!"

Joey looked up at the heavy snow falling from the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

"Joey, the man Leggins sent has already taken all the materials away!"

The bearded man walked up to Joey and said to him.

"By the way, should we keep that smelting furnace burning?"

Are you cold?

Joey didn't answer the bearded man's question, but instead asked one in return.

"It would be cold without this smelting furnace!"

The bearded man looked at the world outside the smelting furnace covered in white snow and couldn't help but shiver.

"That's settled then! We can just use this smelting furnace as a fireplace and keep it burning!"

The bearded man stopped asking questions. Aside from feeling it was a bit wasteful, the large fireplace was indeed quite warm.

"Mr. Joey, someone is here to see you!"

The gatekeeper approached the furnace and waved to Joey.

"Looking for me? I've really become a hot commodity lately, so many people are looking for me!"

Joey gave a wry smile and walked over.

"He was a dwarf named Camillo, and a dwarf girl was with him!"

When the gatekeeper saw Joey arrive, he simply said what he had to say.

"Camito?"

"Mr. Joey, do you not know him? If not, I'll get rid of him for you right now!"

"Oh, wait a minute, we do know each other, but how about this, I'll bring someone out to meet him!"

Joey didn't know why Camito had come to the tobacco field again. Carter must have told him, otherwise he certainly wouldn't have known he was here.

"Alright, I'll go first, and tell him to wait a little longer!"

After saying that, the gatekeeper returned the way he came.

Joey returned to the furnace, explained the situation to Camito, and then they walked together toward the gate.

"Camille, what brings you here, and you even brought Lia with you?"

Carter was quite surprised to see that Camito had actually come to the tobacco field. He had warned Camito not to come looking for him unless absolutely necessary.

"Cartel, I had no choice. If I had any other options, I would never have bothered you again!"

Camillo glanced at Joey, but continued chatting with Carter, who looked very haggard.

"Is it that dwarf again?"

Joey asked casually.

Every time Camito met them, he couldn't escape the figure of that dwarf.

When Carter heard Joey ask this question, he didn't say what was on the tip of his tongue and waited for Camito's answer.

"I swear in the name of the King of the Hills, Carter, I have absolutely no intention of harming you. I feel that something really big is about to happen this time, and I hope that you can take care of Lia for me, considering our many years of friendship!"

"Hello, Uncle Carter!"

The dwarf girl beside her was also quite robust, no less so than Martha.

She was a little shy and didn't seem to talk much.

"Oh, Liya, it's been so long since I've seen you! You've become even more beautiful!"

Lia blushed immediately upon hearing Carter's words.

Carter then turned to Camito, urging him to finish speaking.

"The city's troops have been moving around frequently these past few days, so it must be war, but I don't even know who the enemy is! Duro came to see me and asked about you, but I told him he's no longer in the workshop and we don't know your whereabouts right now!"

"He also told me to continue following him, saying that if this succeeds, his status in Sandstone City will rise directly to the top, and I will be able to benefit from it!"

"But as you know, the King of the Hills once taught us that great profits are always accompanied by great risks. I think Duro is definitely up to something big!"

“I’m old and don’t care about life or death, but Liya is still young. Her mother told me before she left that I must take good care of her. I don’t want to put Liya in danger!”

Camito's eyes revealed a pleading look.

"Lia can stay; I think Martha would also like to see her!"

After saying this, Carter glanced at Joey again. Joey nodded slightly. It was easy for two smart people to communicate without saying a lot of words.

"You can stay, if you wish!"

Camillo was pleased to see that Carter had agreed to let Lia stay, and the gloom on his face immediately disappeared.

"I'm not staying. Duro keeps looking for me, and I'll only be a burden to you guys!"

Camito turned and pulled Lia to Carter's side.

"Father!"

Lia clung to Camito's arm, unwilling to let go.

"Lia, be good and stay with Uncle Carter for now. If you get bored, you can chat with Martha. You two used to be best friends who could talk about anything!"

"I will come to find you after this storm has passed, I swear on my beard!"

Camito's eyes were filled with the tenderness of a father's love, but also mixed with a hint of helplessness.

Liya slowly loosened her grip.

"Old friend, I'm begging you!"

Before leaving, Camillo said one more thing to Carter.

Looking at this scene, Joey felt a sense of déjà vu. After thinking about it carefully, she realized it was very similar to a scene from a TV series.

Camille seems to be setting a flag; he might actually go die.

However, Joey is not a person who is overly compassionate. Some people are destined to have their own destiny, and he doesn't want to meddle in everything.

There are so many gods in this world, let them manage things properly. Just live your own life well and don't cause trouble for these gods.
