Sometimes Baixi really envies her past self, who wasn't tempted by beauty.
Although she is trying her best to control herself from thinking about those romantic and unnecessary feelings, her emotions still fluctuate when she encounters such moments.
If a handsome young man shows you kindness, or even tries to please you, it would be hard for anyone to refuse.
"...Suit yourself. I have other things to finish. You can stay here for now."
Bai Xi awkwardly looked away and pretended to be nonchalant as she spoke.
Before the two could answer, Bai Xi turned and left the floating island, afraid that the twins might say something else that would make the atmosphere even more awkward.
But... is 'Grexius' next to be seen?
Bai Xi lowered her eyes, hiding the complexity in them. After all, he was the servant who had been with her from the beginning. Whether it was Perkin or Greysius, Bai Xi's feelings were always rather complicated when she was with him.
Before, I had an inexplicable dependence on him; now, after understanding his feelings, I feel embarrassed to face him and have an indescribable emotion.
And then there was that awkward moment...
Bai Xi's thoughts were a jumbled mess, but she was relieved that the 'Grexius' of this era didn't have those memories.
This time, 'Greshius' appeared not at the slave auction site, but near the dwarven territory.
He was like an outcast, never having any clansmen, always wandering alone.
Whether God or man, he is always the same.
It's like someone who can't fit into the world, someone who doesn't belong.
In a sense, Bai Xi felt that she was quite similar to Graysius.
"Dwarven territory? Why is he here...?"
After landing, Bai Xi began to ponder this question. This information was given to her by the world's consciousness. Logically speaking, even if humans are very hostile to 'Grexius', given that he looks more like a human most of the time, it would be more appropriate for him to appear in human territory.
Wouldn't it be easier to be discriminated against if we came to the territory of the dwarves?
However, Bai Xi only pondered this question briefly before putting it aside. It should be said that 'Greysius' himself didn't care about this, so it's normal for him to be here. We can only look at his motives.
Bai Xi followed the tree-shaded path. Long ago, Bai Xi had found the lifestyle of the dwarves to be very magical. They liked to build villages in the deep mountains and forests, but they were also very good at forging, which made it easy for them to accumulate weapons.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Bai Xi.
etc.....
forging.
The current 'Grexius' is said to be the strongest blacksmith by the world consciousness, so is he here to learn blacksmithing methods?
Bai Xi touched her chin, feeling that this was highly likely.
But will the dwarves accept him?
This question lingered in Bai Xi's mind, but it was resolved in just a moment, from the moment she stepped into the dwarf village.
The scene before her left her speechless.
The taciturn young snake-man was clearly visible in the village. The huge forge was still burning with flames, but he seemed oblivious to the heat, hammering the equipment blanks back and forth. Perhaps worried about his clothes burning, he simply didn't wear any, revealing his strong and powerful arms. With each swing of his hammer, the lines of his muscles were clearly visible.
However, perhaps because his true form is a snake, his skin did not turn bronze; it remained pale, yet with a hint of red, giving him a somewhat human-like appearance.
Bai Xi looked at the dwarves surrounding him with approving expressions, his worldview completely turned upside down.
In her mind, 'Greysius' was an excellent assassin, hunter, lone wolf, and a cold-blooded dark god, but there was absolutely no way he could be a blacksmith with such good interpersonal relationships.
Perhaps because the village was too noisy, no one noticed Bai Xi's arrival for a long time, until a playful dwarf child who had returned from outside the village saw someone standing at the village entrance and shouted into the village.
"Uncles, someone's here! Stop what you're doing!"
His voice was unusually loud. Standing next to him, Bai Xi felt her head buzzing. It was mainly magical damage, but there was no physical damage.
Bai Xi recalled her past experience visiting the dwarf village and realized that the dwarfs seemed to have quite loud voices.
The child's voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the village. Even 'Greshius,' who was banging on things, looked up and stared at Bai Xi from a distance of less than a hundred meters.
Bai Xi felt her heart tremble for no reason. The young man's face was illuminated by the firelight by the forge, and his clear and familiar appearance appeared before her. After hundreds of thousands of years, they had met in an era where it was impossible to meet.
"you....."
Perhaps Bai Xi's expression betrayed too much information, because 'Greysius's' face showed hesitation, as if he wanted to ask something.
Unfortunately, the words he wanted to say were drowned out by the dwarves' screams.
"My God, is this a savior?"
"Why would a savior come here?"
"Could it be that the Savior wants to forge a weapon?! I will absolutely give it my all and forge the most perfect weapon for the Savior!"
"No, we should mobilize the entire village!"
The dwarves' enthusiasm far exceeded Bai Xi's expectations. She almost instantly turned into a 'monkey,' surrounded by onlookers. If they weren't still worried about offending her, some might have even reached out and touched her to see if it was real.
Bai Xi's view was also blocked by the group of dwarves, and she could no longer see what 'Greshius' looked like.
All she knew was that the little snake was still standing there, waiting for her.
As the situation spiraled out of control, the loud-voiced dwarf attracted even more dwarves, and like a zombie apocalypse, Bai Xi was surrounded by a dense crowd. They seemed to show no fear of the savior, only respect, worship, and fanaticism, which made Bai Xi feel a little uncomfortable.
However, if she doesn't stop it, the situation will definitely get worse.
"Stop! Don't make a fuss. I do need a blacksmith, but I need to specify who it is."
Bai Xi made a stop gesture, and fortunately the dwarves were quite obedient, instantly falling into complete silence, leaving only Bai Xi's voice.
She didn't directly point out who it was, intending to wait until the dwarves dispersed before speaking, but unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, a very pleasant but slightly hoarse voice came from outside the crowd.
Are you talking about...me?
His voice sounded like someone who hadn't spoken in a long time suddenly starting to talk, but to Bai Xi's ears, it evoked a sense of nostalgia.
