For the remainder of the time, Morton and Golden Hammer continued their squabble, with Golden Hammer insisting on entering the Elder Council. Finally, Morton reluctantly agreed, promising to report this request to the Elder Council. Golden Hammer was tasked to organize his thoughts on the use of the machine tools during this period. Soon, the dwarves would send a large transport flying dragon to bring Golden Hammer and his machine tools back to the Furnace Fortress.
With great difficulty, they saw off Morton and his party. Golden Hammer burst into joyful laughter, very proud of his prospect of entering the Elder Council. Of course, he also didn't forget Long Yi's kindness and complimented him lavishly. Long Yi, now accustomed to his gem pouch, removed a few gems from it and stared at them with a silly grin.
After being lost in giggles for a while, Long Yi suddenly realized he had no clue about how the thing worked.
