Chapter 330 Returned To The Town

The gigantic door was made from large rocks. It had a large wolf's face carved onto it too, half on one side and half on the other. When the doors remained closed, the wolf's face would be complete. But when it would open, each of the doors would have half of the wolf's face.

Needless to say, the wolf here was none other than Shin. Since he was the ruler, the dwarves had thought about carving him.

Shin was somewhat mesmerized by the doors, but right now, he had no time to think about this.

He was about to raise his voice and ask someone to open the door, but before he could do that, the doors opened on their own.

Shin thought that the doors were automated, however, he had to pause his flying imagination as he saw a few goblins pulling the door from the inside by rotating the lever having the chains connected to the door.

He walked in, awed and impressed by the designs and mechanisms the dwarves had built. But this was only the door!

When Shin entered, he found the entire village almost built. There were many huts made - especially for the Arb and Dark Elves that were fantastically designed.

While they seemed quite old-styled, the detailing was great. The houses were made from bricks with the top or roof being made of leaves and sticks.

The houses were all of the same sizes and symmetrically and uniformly arranged. A distinct pathway or road was built which served as the main road for anyone entering the village to walk.

The dwarves were still working on a few things nearby and when they saw the gates opening and SHin entering, they paused working and immediately ran to greet him.

"Greetings your highness!", a few dwarves whom Shin didn't recognize, said.

"You are…"

The six dwarves, standing in front of him, had tattoos on their bodies. They all wore different outfits. One of them wore a red cap while another was bald.

As mentioned, three common things in them were - their tattoos, and their short stature, and all of them had long beards.

"We are the dwarves sent by the main unit, your highness.", said one of them.

"We are responsible for giving this area a final touch.", said another.

"Oh…", Shin looked at the tools that they had in their hands.

It indeed seemed like they were working on creating some designs or modeling some buildings.

Shin then asked, "Alright, but where are the main unit and your representative?"

"They are in the Central Plaza, your highness.", they said collectively.

"I see."

Shin was surprised that they had already named the areas within the village/town.

The dwarves thought about escorting Shin to the central plaza, but before they could do that, he let out everyone who was stored in the inventory.

Shin let out every higher-ranking member first. Following that, he let out the lower-ranking ones.

The problem was, with their numbers, the entrance area would become too crowded, so he put them out a little farther from the entrance, outside of the gates.

They weren't allowed inside just yet.

As for the shadow wolves, he allowed them to exit his shadows.

One by one, every shadow wolf hiding inside his shadow, jumped outside, starting from Deoras and then the shadow wolf general and then the rest of them.

The dwarves were surprised when all of a sudden so many beasts appeared out of nowhere.

"This is…"

One of them even fell down when he saw the pressure in the surroundings increasing!

The dwarves that were in the Central Plaza, rushed to the outside to see what was happening. They could feel this weird heavy pressure.

The stronger beasts did hide their auras, but not everything could be hidden. A tiny bit would be noticed by others and this was more than enough to shock everyone.

Shin walking to the central plaza to meet the dwarves? No. The dwarves should come to greet him from the central plaza!

If one thought this way, Shin calculatingly let everyone out right this instant to force the people in the central plaza to come and greet him. But this was far from reality. He did this out of whim.

As expected, the dwarves, Arb elves, and many other species such as a few goblins and swamp residents who were asked to stay behind, marched forward.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance and found Shin, they bowed in front of him, leaving a distance of 15 meters.

"Welcome back, your highness.", they said collectively.

Their voice echoed throughout the place - showing how silent it had become.

All this time, the sound of hammering or talking was being heard, but now, silence took over.

The rest of the higher beings who stood near Shin thought that it was appropriate for them to bow down as well. But before doing that, they made sure that the lower ones bowed first!

The ones that remained outside the gate, immediately bowed when the Grigard King and the Frog King glared at them.

Following those lower beings, the shadow wolves bowed too, all except Deoras.

And finally, after them, the higher and stronger beings bowed one by one, all except Aella.

Aella stood right beside Shin, but this didn't mean she was arrogant!

She was also going to bow down in front of him, but Shin ordered her not to.

"You can remain standing, Aella.", he said in a deep voice.

And with this, he clearly established the hierarchy of the beings, the first being him and the second being Aella.

A few minutes later, all the lower beings were escorted or shown their habitats that were either modified or built by the dwarves and the moles.

As for the higher-ranking ones, they all moved to the Central plaza.

It was designed well, the roads and everything. Especially, the houses that were present in the Central plaza were remarkable.

The place had homes for every higher ranking and even had space for other higher rankings that could potentially join later - the dwarves thought it out well!

However, Shin was a bit confused. No matter where he looked, he couldn't find the place for himself.

It was as if his hut was missing, but just when he was about to ask, the leader of the main unit of dwarves - Urui - immediately walked forward and started talking to Shin.

"Your Highness, if you would allow, I would like to be your guide to this small Kingdom."

"…"
