Chapter 183

White Dragon decided, "Let's finalize the blueprints first, and then ask the Dwarf to help us build the rest."

Sylvan hesitated. "Dwarf?"

The White Dragon raised its eyes, its beautiful eyes brimming with wisdom. "Besides them, no other race currently has the ability to attempt to complete this ancient grand magic circle."

That evening, after Telingewei returned, Xie Juanhan let the furry animals in the house go to the study to sleep and incubate their eggs, while he and Telingewei worked hard to translate the magic circle from calculation formulas into construction patterns.

They need to take the construction plans to the Dwarf.

The two dragons didn't sleep all night.

As soon as it was dawn, Xie Juanhan summoned the little messenger birds, who carried their invitations and flew to the Dwarf City.

The weather hasn't been very good these past couple of days.

In the Saint Lauretta Mountain Range region, blizzards raged for a full week.

If creatures don't want to take a long detour, bypassing the nearby ocean and spending six or seven more days on the road, they can only stay in this area and wait for the snow to stop before setting off again.

The messenger bird summoned by Xie Juanhan's family to fly to the Dwarf City was stuck in the Saint Lauretta Mountain Range for a whole week because of this blizzard.

When the blizzard finally stopped, it hurriedly flew to the Dwarf city.

Following the Magic Power imprint, the messenger bird plunged into one of the Dwarf bars.

The Dwarf Bar is built against the mountain, and most of its structures are made of whole pieces of light yellow mountain rock.

The bar is warm in winter and cool in summer, filled with the scent of rocks.

In fact, Dwarf also possess a similar aura.

It's hard to say whether they acquired this aura from spending time in various caves, or whether they naturally possessed this aura, which then permeated the caves they frequented.

In short, the messenger bird rushed in and quickly got lost due to the chaotic atmosphere.

"Heh--heh?" The giant messenger bird was disoriented in the bar, finally landing on the rocky counter and yelling, calling for the Dwarf who was supposed to receive the message to come and claim it.

"Hey, whose messenger bird are you looking for?"

"What a big carrier bird! Let me check the package information—"

"From the Magic Forest, Goddess, it's those two lords!"

"Big Banya! Big Banya--! Oh, you're drunk again, get up, there's a package for you!"

A Dwarf kicked the backside of another Dwarf who was passed out drunk in a corner of the bar, and kicked him up.

The Dwarf, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, adjusted his hat. "What package?"

"Give this guy two drops of mole urine to sober him up."

"Uh, I'm awake, let me come and see!"

The Dwarf who received the letter staggered to the bar counter.

The area was filled with Dwarf watching the spectacle.

The giant Demon Bird stared at the Dwarf with its dark red eyes for a while before discerning his Magic Power imprint. Then it extended its claws, allowing the dwarf to remove the bundle from its claws.

The Dwarf moved, his stubby fingers possessing an indescribable dexterity.

He quickly retrieved the package, which was half his size.

The heavy package kicked up a cloud of dust when the Dwarf carried it to the bar counter.

The other Dwarf swarmed over and quickly saw the beautiful cursive script on the package.

"It's not just for you, it's for your whole team."

"Quickly, see what those two officials sent you!"

"Be careful, I have a dagger here. Don't damage the package."

The Dwarf named "Big Banya" took the dagger from his companion and carefully opened the package.

Inside the package was a large, neatly packaged bag of dried pumpkin.

Despite the oil paper blocking the smell, the rich, sweet aroma of the pumpkin preserves still filled the entire bar as soon as they were taken out.

Instantly, all the Dwarf in the bar had their eyes glued to the pumpkin preserves.

My Goddess, this is pumpkin preserves made by a dragon from the Magic Forest.

A bag of dried pumpkin, as big as half a Dwarf!

How delicious it must taste!

Inside the bar, people started swallowing, the gulping sounds particularly clear.

Big Banya immediately and warily clutched the pumpkin preserves to his chest, struggling to read the letters inside the package.

Xie Juanhan's beautiful cursive handwriting appeared on the letter.

The letter was essentially a greeting to Dwarf, followed by an announcement that they had a bountiful harvest of magic pumpkins.

Raw pumpkins are difficult to ship, so they specially made them into candied fruit for the Dwarf to try.

At the end of the letter, there were two joint signatures.

It was Xie Juanhan and Telingewei.

Big Banya held the thin, scented letter and couldn't help but chuckle.

"These dried pumpkins were sent to us by Lord White Dragon and Lord Giant Dragon."

Big Banya also started changing how he addressed Xie Juanhan at some point.

"Praise be to Lord White Dragon! They actually thought of insignificant people like us."

The other Dwarf listened angrily to Big Banya Teeth's words, which were neither a clear explanation nor a boast.

"Lucky guy, how come they found you guys to build their house back then?"

"I also want to get to know that White Dragon Lord."

"Goddess, if only that gentleman had hired our team to build his house! Our team is better, and our fees aren't so high."

Big Banya, chin held high, proudly declared, "Our team isn't the kind that waits to be found; we actively sought out and marketed ourselves. Thank you, Goddess, opportunity truly favors the prepared."

The Dwarf spat at him. "Pah!"

Big Banya slid off the chair, clutching the huge bag of dried pumpkin. "I should go back now; the kids must be really looking forward to it."

Just as Big Banya was about to leave with the dried pumpkin, a little messenger bird flew in from outside.

This little messenger bird is much smaller, and a snow-white letter is tied to its claws.

As soon as it flew into the bar, it tilted its head and surveyed the bar with its beady eyes.

A moment later, guided by the Magic Power fluctuations, it flew directly toward Big Banya.

Dwarf:

"???"

"What incredible luck you had today, receiving another letter?"

"Wait, it seems to be a letter sent to him by that same person!"

The Dwarf rushed forward and surrounded Big Banya.

Big Banya took the letter from the little letter-carrying bird's claw, opened it, glanced at it, and looked confused. "It's another letter from Lord White Dragon."

"Lord White Dragon has entrusted us with constructing a magic circle."

"A massive magic circle costing over 30,000 gold coins to build."

The Dwarf listened intently as Big Banya recounted the contents of the letter, and when they heard the last word, the entire pub erupted in cheers.

"Goddess above! 30,000! 30,000!"

"Goddess! Thirty thousand gold coins, that could bury my entire cave, right?!"

"Oh, you lucky fellow who's been licked by a mole, thirty thousand gold coins! I'd never see that many gold coins in ten lifetimes!"

"But Lord White Dragon said he wants to build a huge magic circle, the kind of magic circle used by the Ancient God," Big Banya said, puzzled. "A teleportation circle that can travel between different dimensions."

The bar fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a heated discussion:

"You want us Dwarf to build a magic array of this level?"

"My goddess, how much that man admires us! I'm about to cry."

"Waaaaah--They actually hired Dwarf to build a magic array of this level? I want to work for them! Big Banya, reply quickly! I, Changmao, am willing to work for Lord White Dragon, even for free!"

Chapter 183 [VIP]

It's time for another shift change.

Xie Juanhan directed the furry creatures into the warm, dimly lit study to incubate their eggs.

"Haxi, move to that corner on the west side. Harvey, Habi, you two move over and make room for Haxi."

"Moli, go to the far east side, there's a spot with a giant Demon Wolf there."

"Nibote, go down to the windowsill. It's a bit chilly there; it'll be just right for you to squeeze in."

Xie Juanhan stood at the door of the study, piecing the furry creatures into various corners of the room as if playing a jigsaw puzzle.

Under his command, the furry creatures quickly lay down together perfectly.

Xie Juanhan looked at the fluffy creatures lying all over the ground and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Fortunately, they had a large number of animals, otherwise they might not have been able to put the puzzle together.

"We've set off and should be back by evening. If we haven't been seen by dark, it means something's happened on the Kaonielin Plain and we won't be back until tomorrow evening."

Having just finished a large pumpkin cake and a sweet milk tea, the fluffy creatures obediently responded, "Aww!"

Xie Juanhan softened his voice. "Thank you for your hard work. If we hadn't returned until tomorrow, we would have incubated the eggs for two days and one night before letting you take over."

The furry creatures became even more docile, letting out soft, low "Aww."

Xie Juanhan felt quite at ease when he took Telingewei out the door.

They've already given clear instructions, and with Moli around, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Soon, Xie Juanhan mounted the giant dragon and flew towards the Kaonielin Plain.

The Dwarf they recently hired are helping them repair the magic circle.

Sylvan and his giant eagle were also there, communicating with the Dwarf while holding blueprints.

The Dwarf were exceptionally enthusiastic and cooperative this time.

Even though Xie Juanhan and Telingewei weren't there every day, their repair work still proceeded very smoothly.

As winter approaches, the Kaonielin Plain grows increasingly cold.

A white gust of wind blew, flattening most of the withered grass.

The Dwarf put on thick animal skin clothes, and their pointed hats were replaced with warm animal skin hats.
