Chapter 117: Chapter 117 – Jonathan, the Gnome's Lord

[ POV of the Gnome's Human Lord ]

In the dimly lit room of the Gnome Human Lord, Jonathan, an air of arrogance and self-importance filled the air. As the gnome messenger rushed in, panting with excitement, he blurted out the news he had just witnessed at the entrance.

"Lord Jonathan! There's a human outside, accompanied by goblins. They claim to want a trade with you," the messenger reported hastily.

"Huh?" Jonathan scoffed, a mocking smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "A human with goblin subordinates wants to trade with me? Those bugs? How amusing!"

Jonathan leaned back in his extravagant chair, adorned with intricate carvings and plush cushions. He saw himself as the superior ruler of the gnome territory and couldn't fathom why a human and goblins would dare approach him.
