Heine had the skeleton return to his side and helped the kneeling Tuba up from the ground.
Tuba looked at the scattered totem images on the ground, with his heart bleeding.
But he still forced himself to remain composed on the face.
After all, not only was he in the wrong, but he was also no match in skill.
"I'll acknowledge you for now," he said.
Heine chuckled inwardly, as if Tuba was acting like he had won the fight.
But once again, he was certain of Wei Dianyuan's assessment.
Dwarves indeed only responded to force, not to weakness.
Wei Dianyuan seemed to have realized this too.
"Dammit, in a game, you should just do this, not honestly take on some damn message delivery quests. Just fight them and all the bullshit goes away."
...
Tuba lit the wall lamp, restoring the normal light in the room.
He sat at the table, so formally that Heine felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Ask whatever you want."
Heine: "Why don't you have a single book about the Elemental Trial here?"
