"Very well, human." The leader nodded. "This will be an equivalent exchange. Give us that blueprint and bring the ship to us. We'll fix it for you once we have the materials."
'Does he think I'm a fool?' Nikolai smiled as he saw through the dwarf's scheme. Bringing the ship to them while it needed repairing was the same as asking Nikolai to go and never return.

The leader smiled as if he was a brilliant schemer. He looked confused when Nikolai walked toward a clearing beside them.
"I'll give you the blueprint once you finish repairing it!"
From the shadows on the ground came out Alias, looking as if it rose from the dead. The dwarves retreated in fear as the ship surfaced.
"How did you do that?" The leader asked with sharp eyes, looking at Nikolai as if he was a demon.
