Warkita

Chapter 8700

(Unedited)

…

Soon Shin Jiao and Hoodwig Logmaster formed an agreement of exchanging food and items for ores. This transaction benefited both of them as it catered to their needs.

Shin Jiao needed many rare ores that he could not find outside the Xinglo Kingdom and with this exchange, he is able to benefit a lot from it.

As he walks out of the building he directly went to the infirmary and saw Loom who is sitting beside a wooden bed. Lying on the bed is a small thin dwarf with a pale complexion. He knew that this woman is Loom's mother as he could see a slight semblance of the two.

"Loom…" Shin Jiao said as he patted her shoulder.

His towering figure made Loom's mother almost jump out of her bed in fear. But Loom who noticed Shin Jiao immediately calmed her mother down.

"Mom… it's okay. This is Master Shin, the guy that I told you about who helped me." She explained.

"Greeting Mrs. Diggingsons…" Shin Jiao greeted with a slight bow and cupped hands.

Loom's mother did not reply and just slowly went back to the bed and calmly lies with the assistance of Loom.

"How is your mother, Loom?" Shin Jiao asked.

Loom showed a sad expression and then shifted her gaze to Shin Jiao with a hint of pleading in her gaze.

"The doctor says that my mother's condition is a bit bad… She… she would be unable to recover as her disease seem to have progressed to a state of irreversible…" she said in a sad tone.

Hearing her daughter's sad voice, Loom's mother patted Loom's hand and then caressed her smooth hair. She did not want to see her daughter sad, but she could not do anything. She was too sad at that time that she wanted to forgo living. She thought that Loom has died and she too wanted to die while slowly withering.

But when she knew that Loom was alive, it was already too late. She is already in a state where her organs are already failing.

"It's okay… Loom… As long as you are good and fine, I don't mind… Plus I still have some months to live. I can even go out if I wanted to… You don't have to worry about me." She said trying to comfort her daughter.

Shin Jiao did not ask any questions and just walk beside the small bed. He then squatted and carefully places his finger on her small and thin wrist.

Loom's mother was a bit taken aback but she did not react this time and just let the human check her. She too was a bit curious about how good this Master Shin really is.

It did not take long before Shin Jiao lifted his fingers and then look at Loom's mother.

"I will check your eyes, would that be fine with you?" he asked.

Loom's mother nodded her head and let the human check. Shin Jiao did not stand in attention and carefully checks her eyes, then her neck, then the sides of her head.

"Hmmm… This is a very complicated situation. You have been poisoned with a slow-acting poison, and has already seeped into your bones." Shin Jiao explained.

But his voice could not be heard by others except for Loom and her mother.

When the two heard his voice inside their heads, the two were stunned. They wanted to ask why when suddenly someone appears inside the infirmary.

He was a stocky-looking dwarf with a clean-shaven face. Though he looks bulky one can tell that this dwarf is a bit handsome.

When Loom saw the guy, she immediately smiled and greeted the newcomer.

"Uncle Holdorf… I'm glad to see that you are fine." She said with a gentle smile on his face.

"Loom! I never thought that I could see you again. I was too worried back then when I heard that you did not escape… I was useless…" the man Loom called as Uncle Holdorf said with a sad tone.

However, something in the dwarf's gaze did not escape Shin Jiao's eyes. But he did not want to say anything and just stood to the side.

Loom told him the story and the man happily listened to her. He would say praises to her every now and then as she continues telling her story. Soon after she finished, the handsome-looking dwarf nodded in delight and then shifted his gaze to Shin Jiao.

"Thank you for saving my niece…" he said while bowing towards Shin Jiao.

"I want to invite you to my house. We are going to celebrate Loom's return…" he said with a smile.

"But… Mom…"

"No… It's okay; you can go with your uncle. Don't worry about me…" Loom's mother said with a smile.

"Master Shin…" Loom seems to be asking for permission from Shin Jiao.

"Go, I will be here with your mom for a bit. I will follow you later." Shin Jiao asked.

"Eh… But… My house is…" Holdorf wanted to say something when Loom grabs his arm.

"It's okay uncle… Master Shin could easily find your house…" she said with confidence.

The two walks out of the infirmary while Shin Jiao and Loom's mother followed them.

"Sigh… Holdorf is my cousin and he is the only one who helped me escaped. He was even very worried when he discovers that Loom is not with me."

"Mrs. Diggingsons… I…"

"Wait… Master Shin… Don't call me that, it feels awkward. Just call me Warkita…" she said with a faint smile.

"Haha… Alright, Warkita… I… I can actually heal your wounds. But I think it would cause complications if the person who did this to you discovers that you are already cured… Why don't we do this…"

Shin Jiao shared with her his plans and after a while, Warkita nodded her head in agreement.

Right at this moment, she was really happy that her daughter has found someone who genuinely wanted to help her. In her mind, she already promised that she would support her benefactor with all of her ability.

When she was younger, Warkita Diggingsons is a great warrior and a female knight of the dwarven kingdom. She is actually well-versed in both magic and the sword. But this made it hard for her to improve through the levels.

Being a magic swordswoman made it hard for her to master both fighting ability and magic at the same time. This is the same as the others like her who were not able to breakthrough and have only reached the 20th level of a warrior's power and the late stages as a mage.

But even though this is the situation, she was still considered one of the best knights in the kingdom. However, one day, the dwarves have a heated dispute against the goblins and a large battle happened. The goblins lost the battle, but suddenly, the ogres helped them and drove the dwarves away from their old kingdom.

The warriors of the dwarven race ran away and decided to settle at the side of the mountain near the entrance and exit of the Dragon's Ridge where the resources are a bit scarce.

The fallen dwarven king and his family were driven out and a new king rose to power.

She lost her post as a magic knight and lived a commoner's life until she met Loombwark's father. The two fell in love but many have considered this love affair as forbidden especially the new ruler of the dwarven race.

And so, they were not able to be together. In fact, the two had run away and lived a secluded life. But a catastrophe happened and her husband was killed in an accident. She was saved by her cousin Holdorf and from then on lived as a single mother with her newly born daughter Loombwark Diggingsons.

Until now, she still did not know how her husband was killed at that time. But she was glad that Holdorf found her after he has searched for many days in the forest.

She took good care of her daughter and taught her skills. She did not want Loom to suffer the same fate as her, so she only taught Loom fighting skills and wanted her to be a great warrior.

Everything in her life was almost perfect until one day; the Scavengers arrived and ruined everything.

But it seems that fate still wanted her to live. It seems that she still has her purpose. She showed determination in her eyes and immediately agreed with the plan of the human that helped her daughter.

Though she was a bit perplexed upon knowing that she was actually poisoned, yet she did not know the reason why she was poisoned, and who did such a thing?

She has been friendly and lived a peaceful life, she has not offended anyone, yet who would poison her and for such a long time at that.

These things surely baffled her, but upon hearing the plan of her benefactor, Warkita gritted her teeth and agreed. She too wanted to know who the real culprit is and the reason why…
