472: Chapter 472: You Live There!

“Franse, what are you trying to do?” Erik demanded.

Around a dozen dwarfs surrounded them, and Franse sneered, “What do we want to do?

Erik, your father borrowed five thousand Gold Coins from us two months ago to purchase iron ore materials.

Today is the due date.

A son must repay his father’s debt.

If you don’t pay us back today, don’t think about leaving this restaurant!”

Erik’s expression turned ugly.

He had never heard his father mention this matter, but it seemed to be true.

The other party wouldn’t possibly fabricate such a claim.

However, five thousand Gold Coins was no small amount.

Although he had some on him, it was only a little over two hundred Gold Coins.

“How much in total?” Huang Xiaolong spoke up at this moment.

Everyone turned to look at Huang Xiaolong.

“Brother Huang, this!” Erik started to speak, but Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, “It’s fine.”

Now, money was merely a number to Huang Xiaolong.

Not to mention anything else, just the Gold Coins stored in the Space Rings of Li Molin and over sixty others from three years ago, piled together, could flood this Dwarf City.

Franse looked Huang Xiaolong up and down and then chuckled, “Human kid, I didn’t realize you were so wealthy.

Initially, Erik’s father borrowed five thousand from us, with an interest of ten percent per month.

Now it totals six thousand Gold Coins.”

“What did you say!

Ten percent interest!” Erik angrily stood up.

“Franse, why don’t you just rob us!”

He had never heard of such high-interest rates!

Franse sneered, “When your father borrowed the money, he agreed to ten percent interest.”

Erik was about to say more, but Huang Xiaolong stretched out a finger, and the ground in front of them suddenly rattled, dropping a small pile of Gold Coins that twinkled with golden light.

Everyone was stunned.

A moment later, Franse came to his senses and had someone come forward to count it.

“Big brother, it’s exactly six thousand Gold Coins,” the person reported after counting.

Franse looked at Huang Xiaolong, his smile widening, “Sorry, I misspoke just now, not ten percent interest, but twenty percent.

The monthly interest is one thousand, totaling seven thousand!

You’re still short one thousand!”

Erik stood up abruptly, fury in his eyes.

“Is that so,” Huang Xiaolong remarked, looking at Dwarf Franse with an indifferent expression.

Seeing his own generosity, Franse suddenly changed his statement and raised the amount by another thousand Gold Coins, clearly harboring ulterior motives.

Of course, this was Dwarf City, and Franse, being a high-interest lender, definitely held considerable influence here, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to do this.

Franse chuckled, “Indeed, of course, if you can’t produce seven thousand Gold Coins, another thousand can be covered by mortgaging that ring of yours,” pointing to the Asura Ring on Huang Xiaolong’s left ring finger.

Although he didn’t know what kind of ring Huang Xiaolong’s dark ring was, his eye for such things told him its value was certainly more than a thousand Gold Coins.

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but laugh at the other party’s attempt to take his Asura Ring.

“Are you sure you want this ring?” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

Franse nodded, “Indeed.”

Huang Xiaolong suddenly raised his hand and lightly tapped on the stone table.

Huang Xiaolong’s Finger Power pierced through the table, which was several dozen centimeters thick, leaving a hole.

Franse and the others stared dumbfounded at the hole, then involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air, looking at Huang Xiaolong again.

The previous arrogance had vanished, replaced by fear.

“In that case, if you can do the same and penetrate this stone table with one finger, I will give you the ring,” Huang Xiaolong said indifferently.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, brother, I remembered it wrong just now, it was indeed ten percent interest!” Franse hastily waved his hands, chuckled, and after speaking, had his men hastily gather up the six thousand Gold Coins on the ground and prepared to leave.

“Hold on!” Huang Xiaolong called out.

Franse and his men stiffened.

“Brother, what is it?” Franse asked.

“Debt note.” Huang Xiaolong said.

Franse finally snapped back to reality, hurriedly took out the debt note, and placed it respectfully on the stone table before hastily fleeing the tavern with a group of Dwarves.

Huang Xiaolong picked up the debt note and handed it to Erik.

Erik was deeply grateful, “Brother Huang, I—”

“No need for thanks,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

“A few thousand Gold Coins are nothing to me.”

Erik put away the debt note, then asked, “Brother Huang, are you an Innate High-level Expert?” To him, only an Innate High-level Expert could have so easily pierced the stone table with a single finger.

The stone tables in the Hero Restaurant were made from the finest ore of the Dwarf Clan, exceptionally hard, such that ordinary blades could hardly leave a mark on them.

Huang Xiaolong smiled but did not respond.

Seeing this, Erik thought Huang Xiaolong was confirming it, and couldn’t help but exclaim again, “With such strength, your status must be very high within the Human Clan.”

In the Shifang Continent, Innate High-level Experts could hold positions as Clan Leaders in some of the major tribes of the Human Clan.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t know how to respond and simply continued staying quiet.

“Come, let’s drink,” Huang Xiaolong lifted his bowl.

The two clinked.

As they drank and chatted, Huang Xiaolong discovered that Erik was extremely passionate about Artifact Refining and had a high talent in this field.

Alchemy Techniques, in fact, shared principles with Artifact Refining, and Huang Xiaolong had mastered the Golden Dragon Alchemy Technique that he had acquired in the Dragon Clan Relic Space over the years.

Thus, Huang Xiaolong’s insights about Artifact Refining proved deeply beneficial to Erik.

Three hours later, the two emerged from the tavern.

Erik insisted on seeing Huang Xiaolong out of Dwarf City, and upon parting, Huang Xiaolong gifted Erik a hundred thousand Gold Coins.

During their conversation, Huang Xiaolong learned that Erik dreamed of opening his own Artifact Refining shop, and a hundred thousand Gold Coins was more than enough to open a large one.

Initially, Erik hesitated to accept it, but ultimately, he took it and told Huang Xiaolong that once he made enough money, he would pay back these hundred thousand Gold Coins, along with the previous six thousand.

Huang Xiaolong smiled and didn’t mind it.

Watched by Erik, Huang Xiaolong left Dwarf City and headed to Elf Forest.

Soon, Huang Xiaolong was out of Dwarf Hills and reached the edge of Elf Forest.

Just as he entered Elf Forest, two Elf Beauties blocked his path.

“What’s your business here?” the two Elf Beauties demanded.

Huang Xiaolong explained his purpose.

The two Elf Beauties examined Huang Xiaolong from head to toe, and one of them spoke, “Nowadays, all sorts of riffraff come in claiming they want to heal our Tree of Life but actually have other intentions in our Elf Forest!”

“Forget it.

By the Queen’s order, anyone who comes to heal our Tree of Life must be courteously received,” the other said.

“Come on, follow closely behind us.”

The Elf Clan has always harbored resentment towards the Human Clan, so upon seeing that Huang Xiaolong was human, they naturally did not show him any goodwill.

Indeed, recently many had come under the pretext of healing the Tree of Life, but once in Elf Forest, they attempted to steal the Water of Life from the Life Spring.

While the Water of Life might not compare to the Life Crystal, it was still a treasure.

As Huang Xiaolong followed behind the two Elves, he furrowed his brow but held his tongue.

Half an hour later, the two Elves led Huang Xiaolong to a cluster of bamboo houses, then pointed to one small bamboo house, “You’ll stay there.

Tomorrow, someone will come to take you to the Land of Life to heal the Tree of Life.

Hopefully, you won’t wander about because if something happens, don’t blame us.”

After saying this, the two turned away and left without giving Huang Xiaolong another thought.

Huang Xiaolong stared at the bamboo houses, seemingly temporarily assembled, and at the significantly small bamboo house of only about five to six square meters, looking bemused.

Clearly, they actually believed he came to Elf Forest under false pretenses or other intentions, thus arranging such a dwelling for him.

If someone of status had come, they surely would have received different treatment.

At the very least, they wouldn’t be staying here!
