"What? Don't even think about it!" Elder Grenum's eyes widened as he shouted loudly.
"Humbert, you need to understand, I am merely the elder representing the Flame Beard Clan, not the king!"
Raine could understand Elder Grenum's words.
Because on their way to the Deep Furnace Hall, Humbert had clarified the difficulty of the issue with him: the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom is formed by three dwarf clans—Flame Beard, Stone Fist, and Brute Hammer.
Regarding the use of the ancient flame forge, it doesn't need to alarm King Brute Hammer the Second, but it must pass the review of the Elder Council.
The elder Grenum he came to meet this time is not only a member of the Elder Council but also happens to be a senior member of the Flame Beard Clan.
Raine also understood Humbert's strategy—first convince the elder of his own clan, and then have their elder apply for the Elder Council's consent.
