I Just want a Peaceful life



Sniffing the food smell, "Anna wants it!! Give Anna! Give Anna!" said Anna.

Jayna immediately let the struggling Anna go. Under everyone's eyes, Anna immediately globbed the food with a happy face. Despite being torched by a burning fire from the Firebird, the food is still well-preserved and unaffected by the heat in the surrounding area.

"It's delicious!! Anna likes it. Can Anna have more?! It is too little." said Anna with a happy face.

"Of course. Here, take it." said Uvic happily.

"Uvic, we also want it!!" urged the nearby dwarves as they were interested in the sausage dishes.

"Tch… Just don't forget to pay me later." said Uvic while giving the dishes to everyone.

In fact, Uvic made a lot of it for everyone in the tavern to taste it. Therefore, he didn't mind if these dishes were eaten or traded for the first-grade pig.

"So, did we have a deal, little lass?" asked Uvic with a cunning smile.

At this moment, Jayna suddenly snapped her hand and burned all the nearby running pigs to charred meat at the same time. With the thick fire elemental in the air, she only needed a single thought to burn this mana-less pig to ash.

"No deal!!" said Jayna.

"Oiii… What's the meaning of this?!!" cried the surrounding dwarves in anger.

All the dwarves immediately stare at Jayna in anger, as they know she is the one that burned all the pigs. However, Jayna didn't back down. Instead, she gives an expression only Aunt Hersha and Angus would see when she is dealing with business.

"Hmph!! Who are you?! All these pigs are clearly ours. You are the one that is trying to steal it from us." shouted Jayna sternly.

"Damn my beard!! Aren't that little lass already eating my sausage?!" said Uvic as he pointed at Anna, who was busy eating the sausage dishes.

"And who are you trying to scam, huh?! Did you think a few sausage dishes is enough to buy the whole pigs in this area?!" said Jayna without backing down.

"Tch… Then, what did you want?" asked Uvic.

"50 dishes for a single pig." said Jayna.

"Are you kidding me?!! That dish is not only made out of pork meat. There are other ingredients. 5 dishes for a pig." said Uvic.

Then, Uvic and Jayna begin their heated negotiation under the scorching fire. In the end, they settle for 15 dishes for a single pig. Jayna could negotiate more as she knows the true worth of Porky's pig.

Unfortunately, she didn't have all the time to negotiate with Uvic. She still needs to deal with other dwarves in the area. To simplify it, she only asked for something useful for them or dishes that Anna likes to trade with the pigs.

"Tch… Damn, my beard!! I didn't bring anything besides my mom's pee. Uvic, did you still have more of that sausage?" said another dwarf.

"Shove off!! I already gave all of them to that little lass." replied Uvic.

"Ehh… Can't you just create it again? Isn't it made of pork meat?" asked another dwarf.

"Yeah… That stuff is so delicious. The bread, sausage, and even the creamy white sauce." said another dwarf.

"Did you think making food is the same as drinking beer?!! It is one of my masterpieces. I called it sausage in the hole!!" said Uvic proudly.

*Brusstt* *Brusstt* *Brusstt* All dwarves that tasted Uvic's sausage spurt their beer in surprise. Even Angus and Jayna on the side also didn't expect such a name for the dishes. The only one still oblivious is Anna, who is still globbing the same sausage dish.

"Damn your beard, Uvic!! You are clearly doing that on purpose!!" said one of the dwarves angrily.

"What did you know?!! It is my interpretation of food and sausage. Don't you dare mock it or I will pull that fucking ugly beard!!" shouted Uvic.

As Uvic bickers with the other dwarf, Angus and Jayna secretly take the sausage dishes and hide them from Anna. They don't know what kind of weird thing Uvic uses as its ingredient to make him give such a perverted name for the dishes.

"No… That's Anna sausage. Mine!!" grumbled Anna.

At this moment, Angus works fast and grabs another roasted pork meat before giving it to Anna. Anna immediately forgot about the sausage dishes and grabbed the roasted pork meat. Then, Angus glances at Jayna as his lover stares back and gives a silent nod.

"Don't worry, everyone. Everyone here will get 10 pigs if someone could give me information about things that could control any dwarf race." said Angus loudly.

Hearing Angus's words, all the nearby dwarves glance at him weirdly. However, Angus didn't panic and just waited for someone to speak. In fact, when he found out about these dwarves trying to poach the pigs, he already made this plan from the start.

Angus knows breaking the lockdown barrier is hard and may take a long time. Then, he decided to make a contingency plan in case they couldn't escape when Dumrod did his plan.

"Hahaha… Lad, did you just ask dwarves to give you information about things that control dwarves?!!" laughed one of the drunken dwarves.

"Yes. So, did anyone know something?" asked Angus.

"20 pigs and a deal!!" said a drunken dwarf on the scorched rooftop.

"Deal!!" said Angus without wasting any more time.

"The thing that could control dwarf races is dragon blood. Dwarf race fear dragons are not just fairy tales and myths but real things. This is also why we hate those long-eared skinny races." said the drunken dwarf.

"Hmm… I don't think Dumrod uses dragon blood. How about something that can only be used by the dwarf." said Angus while revealing some of the information.

Angus never plans to trade for information but discusses it with these dwarves, becoming their alliance. Despite their drunkard appearance, he knows these dwarves are powerful and more reliable. Hence, he decided to gain their alliance through this method.

"Hahahaha… Lad, I like what you did there." laughed some of the dwarves.

"Still, something that could only be used by a dwarf to control any dwarf race is a very unusual thing." said one of the dwarves.

"Certainly. Although dragon blood or essence is certainly useful. It is useless in the hand of a dwarf. Dragon blood has a certain suppression effect on dwarves, so the dwarf will never able to utilize it besides making it as a weapon or armor." said another dwarf.

"Lad, can't you give us another clue?!" asked other drunken dwarves.

"It is green and looks like a naturally formed crystal rock." replied Angus.

"Lad, did you have that thing in you?" asked a deep hoarse voice from a distance.

Facing the sudden strong inquiry, Angus didn't flinch and looked at the giant figure in the distance. Using his perception, he could see a bloated fat dwarf with an unusual four meters high body.

"Nope. I lost it somewhere during my escape before." said Angus without telling the truth, but also not wrong.

"Yavoc, did you know something about it?" asked the dwarf on the rooftop.

"If I am not wrong, it should be the legendary King's Rock. It is said the rock only formed where the ancient dwarves were killed. King's rock is a magical rock that could subdue any dwarf and gain their allegiance."

"I am also not sure of the details myself, but it is said this rock formed to unite all the dwarves when the dwarves were facing a certain crisis or extinction in the past." said the four meters height dwarf.

"Does King's rock could only be used by dwarf races?" asked Angus.

"Not sure. According to the ancient record, King's rock only be wielded by the Dwarf King at that time once before suddenly disappearing to who knows where. So no one knows if it could be used by other races." replied the four meters height dwarf.

"Hmmm… Is there any way to counter the King's rock effect?" asked Angus.

"Don't know. The record didn't say anything. But, It will not affect other dwarf 'kings'. Besides, as long as the dwarf didn't pledge to the King's rock holder, the dwarf will not be completely subdued by the holder." said the four-height dwarf.

"Pledge?!" asked Angus in confusion.

"Ahhh… I guess you don't know it. You see… We, dwarves, take oaths and pledge very seriously." said another drunken dwarves/ 

"Once we make a pledge to someone, we will definitely follow that person even though that person is wrong. For us, pledge and oath are the same as a soul-binding contract." added the nearby dwarf.

"Hmm.. Is there any possibility for the dwarves who are under the pledge of someone to make another pledge?" asked Angus curiously.

"Normally, no. But, if someone somehow magical means to force us to take another pledge, then we may be able to do it though the chance of that is very minimal. You know we better die than break our pledge." replied the nearby drunken dwarves.

'Is that the reason why Dumrod is not targeting these dwarves? He knows most of these dwarves belong to other dwarf communities and already pledge to certain forces.' thought Angus inwardly.
