Chapter 197 After the War
Chapter 197 After the War
As Nurgle left, the Dwarven Demigods led their allies to retreat to the corrupted land of Nurgle.
Unlike the disgusting blue color at the beginning, the corrupted land of Naqi is now filled with a mind-opening and vibrant green.
Oger was filled with relief when he saw this lively scene. At least this operation was a great success.
Not only did he successfully harvest the purified corrupt land, but he also successfully killed an important Chosen of Nurgle.
The painful expenses are worth it.
Og nodded to Patricia and Kenneth and said, "Thank you three for your hard work. Where is Brother Ash?"
Halfway through his words, Oger noticed that Ash was gone.
Kenneth was surprised and said, "Didn't he come to look for you? He left after we purified the corrupt core."
Ogg frowned. After purifying the corrupted land, he still needed to prevent the counterattack of Nurgle's chosen ones. It was really uncomfortable for Ash to run away halfway through the task.
However, the corruption was successfully purified, and no matter how stupid Ogg was, he would not choose to lose his temper at this time.
At this time, a cold voice sounded beside him: "What do you mean by we? I purified the corrupt core by myself. It's none of your business!"
Oger and Kenneth turned their heads and saw that Ash had appeared beside them at some point.
"We also contributed to the search for the corrupted core." Kenneth smiled, "And it was Ms. Patricia and I who did the subsequent purification. Without us to hold you back, you might not be able to purify the core so quickly."
"Heh, it's the same whether you put in any effort or not." Ash sneered, "You can't purify the core that quickly? That's because you're a waste. Don't apply your waste standards to me."
"Useless?" Kenneth narrowed his eyes. "Then what evidence can you produce, you lazy idiot who ran away halfway?"
"The evidence is your efforts in purifying this corrupted land. I also removed two more corrupted land cores." Ash spread his hands and a crystal appeared in his hand. "I also killed the Pus Master Balin and purified all of its corrupted land."
After saying that, Ash threw the crystal to Oger, and said in a rude tone: "This is evidence. In addition, I want double the reward this time."
Oger was a little surprised to see Kenneth and Ash confronting each other. He didn't expect that Ash and Kenneth seemed to have a grudge.
No wonder he ran away halfway. It's uncomfortable to work with your enemy.
But after seeing the image in the crystal, Oger was no longer rude to Ash. If possible, he even hoped that Ash would be more arrogant.
One and a half corrupt lands were purified, and one of them was God's Chosen One. He never expected that Ash would bring such a big surprise.
"No problem." Oger agreed readily.
"You dwarves will handle the rest on yourselves." Ash glanced at Kenneth, then turned and disappeared.
Having worked in the workplace for a year or two in his previous life, Ash knew that he had to make his contributions clear at all times, otherwise there would always be idiots who would think that it was your job or that they would take possession of your achievements.
When Ash returned to the battle line, Susanna, who was in charge of the defense, immediately came over and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Ash shook his head slightly.
Susanna breathed a sigh of relief and was about to hug Ash and give him a victory kiss, but was stopped by Ash's eyes.
Susanna stopped what she was doing and brushed her hair with her hands naturally: "How is coach Oger doing?"
"It looks like we have successfully completed our goal." Ash shrugged and said, "I'll go back and rest first. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Susanna nodded.
Ash took another step and disappeared, while Susanna went about her own business.
In a shadow, Sienna, wearing a leather jacket, tossed the dagger in her hand, and frowned as she watched the two people leaving.
Out of her feminine intuition, she sensed that there was something unusual about the relationship between Susanna and Ash.
She hadn't thought of Susanna as Ash's lover. After all, the Tifi people were similar to Homo sapiens, but their aesthetics were very different. For example, Tifi would care about whether the figure was beautiful or not, and whether the purple color of the skin was bright or not. "Forget it. It has nothing to do with me."
Muttering to herself, Sienna turned and left.
It doesn’t matter what kind of relationship Susanna has with Ash, just don’t hinder her from inheriting the position of patriarch.
On her other side, Ash lowered his eyes and watched Sienna leave.
His relationship with Susanna cannot be exposed to the public for the time being. It's not that he is afraid. The day he kills Harry, he is prepared to bear the consequences.
But awareness and consequences are two different things. Ash doesn't want any trouble to come to him, so naturally he has to nip some signs in the bud.
If Sienna investigates further, Ash wouldn't mind arranging an accidental death for her.
What followed was a celebration party, but Ash had no interest in it, especially since Kenneth, the Goddess of Dawn's sworn brother, was there. He felt so disgusted that he couldn't eat.
So after attending the previous celebration, Ash took Susanna away and had a party with his women in his dreams.
The next day, Ash returned to the dwarves' clan library.
His original reward was to buy an artifact at half price, but Oger waved his hand and gave him two artifacts below level three for free as reward.
Ash picked and chose, and chose Glo's Heart Mirror, a first-level artifact with spatial power; and the Mountain Whip, a triple artifact with three powers: strength, earth, and gravity.
Finally, Ash gave the two artifacts to Martha and Angelica, who was in charge of agriculture.
The Melting Pot volcano is the largest volcano in the Melting Pot volcano complex.
Ash is going to go in here today to have a look. There are minerals worth millions of gold, but he still hasn't touched them.
He was a little bored of staying here and wanted to go somewhere else.
Jumping into the lava, Ash swam towards a certain place with a clear goal.
Finally, Ash stopped in front of a unique piece of magma.
Other magmas are light red, but this one is dark red.
And it's alive.
Ash glanced at the dark red magma. This was a golden elemental, the Lava Tyrant.
He asked Susanna to find out and make sure that there were no dwarves kept captive here before he dared to come and take action.
Ash's arrival made the Lava Tyrant realize that it had absolute control over the nearby lava. Ash did not hide his figure, so it naturally sensed the enemy invasion.
The dark red hand opened and grabbed Ash without hesitation. Its temper of getting angry at the slightest disagreement was quite consistent with its name.
Unfortunately, it is just a golden species, not even a demigod. In front of Ash, it is still like an ant.
Ash thrust his finger sword forward, and the Lava Tyrant instantly collapsed, scattering into a pile of magma that mixed into the surrounding environment.
Reaching out his hand, Ash held a dark red gem in his palm.
The news of the completion of the achievement [Treasure of the Earth] also appeared in Yaxi's eyes at the right time.
'Finally it's done.'
Ash glanced at the message and turned away.
It's time to get out of here.
