The Shock Brought by the Dwarf King

Looking at eunuch An Xi lying unconscious on the ground, Lin Qi and Ying Qin both wore exceedingly strange expressions.

Lin Qi shot Barrel a glare, then looked toward several garrison commanders from Heavenly Armament Valley nearby. One seasoned, steady commander stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Lin Qi and Ying Qin. "Reporting to the two princes, these old dwarves are all master-level forging experts. Every one of them has experience forging top-grade holy artifacts, so although their insults are somewhat unpleasant..."

Lin Qi and Ying Qin nodded in sudden understanding.

It could not be helped. This was the privilege of old dwarves like Wali. Because they were all forging grandmasters and had forged top-grade holy artifacts, they were entitled to run wild and act outrageously here. They could even point at their direct superior, the Artisan Commandant Hu Tu, and curse him to his face, or berate An Xi, the chief eunuch and highest-ranking official of Heavenly Armament Valley, until he howled and wept—and no one would do anything to them.

Top-grade holy artifacts—what kind of concept was that?

If wielded by a peak Holy Master, someone who could originally only slaughter a city could, with a top-grade holy artifact in hand, slaughter an entire nation. When their strength was equal, ten Holy Masters could surround and kill one Holy Master. But if that Holy Master wielded a top-grade holy artifact, he could easily turn around and kill twenty Holy Masters of equal strength!

That was the effect of holy artifacts. That was the might of graded holy artifacts!

To an empire, top-grade holy artifacts were assets of strategic significance, even more important than Holy Masters. Holy Masters could die in battle, but a truly superb top-grade holy artifact could pass through several owners without suffering the slightest damage.
