Chapter 2632 - 1143: Gift of Favor

Chapter 2632: Chapter 1143: Gift of Favor

"People are just lowly beings. When the machines used to roar and the gnolls would howl, they couldn’t sleep. Now without those sounds, they find it hard to sleep soundly again." Giharin laughed heartily.

"The power of habit is terrifying, it seems to work in every race." Gaven backed away and couldn’t help but to look up and down at the Legendary Blacksmith, "Is the Clan Leader’s aging starting to accelerate?"

Giharin was mentally vigorous, but couldn’t hide the aging of his body. His hair and beard were completely white, and the wrinkles on his face deep, long, and covered with many age spots.

Following the Legendary Blacksmith was Tast, who said with a sorrowful expression he couldn’t hide, "My father had already entered his aging phase. Since the restart of Colossus City, he’s been knackered all the time, working tirelessly day and night, ignoring everyone’s advice, which has hastened his aging."

"Lord, please advise him. If he continues like this, he won’t last even three years, let alone ten."

"Don’t speak nonsense," Giharin waved his hand impatiently, "I’m in good spirits. Now that we finally have the chance for the clan to reunite, as Clan Leader and their king, I have the responsibility to take care of them. Rest assured, I will definitely not fall before Tesser Yama is restored."

"This matter is my oversight," Gaven’s face showed a hint of apology, "Here, eat this first."

With a wave of his hand, five shiny golden apples floated in front of the Legendary Blacksmith.

Gaven didn’t remember exactly which year Giharin passed away, but one thing was certain, it wouldn’t be too long.

When Everlasting Kind enters aging, the speed is frightening, as if all the past years are catching up.

People like him, who are about to end their lifespan, are the ones most in need of the Primordial Golden Apples.

The others who didn’t need it for the time being had indulged on them earlier, which was indeed a bit wasteful.

"This is..." Everyone’s gaze was attracted by the Primordial Golden Apples. Even those not sensitive to Life Force could clearly feel the powerful life fluctuation within.

"Primordial Golden Apples." Philancy chimed in, "These apples are the fruits of Felen’s first Apple Mother Tree. It takes ten years to bear fruit each time, and the number of fruits each time does not exceed a hundred."

"These Primordial Golden Apples contain vast Life Force. Besides healing all wounds, they also enhance the user’s inner charisma and natural lifespan."

"The more one consumes, the stronger the effect. If five are consumed consecutively, the effect is maximized. One will receive the blessing of the Golden Apple, enhance their inner charisma by 5 points, extend their natural lifespan by 250 years, and gain an Immortal Body."

Why does a comedic dialogue need a supporting act?

It’s because some words are inconvenient for the person to say themselves.

The Legendary Arcanist naturally played this role.

"Hiss..." After listening to this explanation, everyone couldn’t help but collectively gasped.

This isn’t apples; it’s clearly divine elixir!

Especially the four dwarves, whose eyes were shining, including Giharin, who seemed indifferent to life and death.

No one can truly be indifferent to life and death, especially when wishes remain unfulfilled.

"Lord, your grace leaves us with no way to repay you."

"From now on, should you need anything of me, just let me know, and I, Bolin, will lead the charge."

"Our Black Iron Clan will certainly remember the Lord’s kindness."

The three dwarves behind Giharin expressed their gratitude to Gaven one after another; if this isn’t providing help in times of need, what is?

Their last trace of doubt about Gaven completely dissipated.

If it were said that there wasn’t a shred of suspicion of defamation towards Gaven within the Black Iron Clan, it would absolutely be self-deception.

They never believed there could be such a selfless person in the world, especially when the other was a Lord.

The most prevalent view was the suspicion that he was exploiting Giharin’s desire to restore his kingdom.

He had no intention of helping them restore Tesser Yama, only wanting to exploit them to restart Colossus City and reopen the dwarf iron mines.

Once the Black Iron Clan adapted to life in Colossus City, their fervor for restoration would fade, especially after the elder dwarves led by Giharin passed away, Tesser Yama would live in their dreams.

Now Gaven brought out five Primordial Golden Apples, directly dispersing this suspicion.

If he truly had this intention, he only had to do nothing and wait for Giharin to meet his end.

"This gift is simply too precious," Giharin shook his head, "Our Black Iron Clan has already received immense grace from the Lord and doesn’t know how to repay. Now comes another gift; I really cannot accept it."

"But until Tesser Yama is restored, I cannot face my ancestors and forefathers in the Soul Forger’s God Kingdom. I will shamelessly accept one..."

Gaven interrupted the Legendary Blacksmith’s words, "Clan Leader, it’s not necessary to be so distant. From the beginning, we were mutually beneficial."

"Without you, how could Colossus City have an annual production of a hundred thousand tons?"

"Therefore, regarding this matter, no debt of gratitude is owed."

"These Primordial Golden Apples are not given to you for free; you must repay with technology."

"From now on, I will not pay you a single gold coin solely for your blacksmithing skills."

"Except for the Black Iron Clan’s secrets, you must fully cooperate with me in various magical experiments, crafting various magic artifacts. These are things money cannot buy."
