Burning wilderness, city of iron.

The city is located on an iron hemisphere with a radius of several miles. It has a mottled color and is surrounded by flowing rivers of fire.

Outside the brass gate, there are huge and terrifying monsters patrolling, such as multi-headed fire lizards and fire pythons.

The low, hoarse sound of "hissing" echoed in the river of fire, and they were hungry and would devour all the uninvited intruders.

There were fountains of fire, burning palaces, and mansions made of charcoal.

The city was a wonder, but it was a poor imitation of the legendary "City of Brass."

According to the fire dwarves, it is not even one-tenth as good as the City of Brass.

Although some of this may be exaggerated, it is enough to show the greatness of the legendary City of Brass and the superb construction skills of the Fire Dwarves.

"Praise be to the great Sultan!"

"Praise be to the Lord of the Flame!"

At this moment, in the tallest brass building in the center of the city, melodious flute sounds continued to be heard, as well as enthusiastic cheers and shouts.

This was an extremely grand banquet. All the fire giants in the city gathered here to celebrate the arrival of the new "Emir".

The Great Sultan is a fire giant of extraordinary power and strength, assisted by various chiefs, governors, emirs and nobles, and his immediate servants are six quite powerful pashas.

The protagonist of this banquet is Hamid Abdul, a noble efreeti aristocrat of noble descent - and also the Emir sent by the Great Sultan to take over the City of Pig Iron.

"By the Lord of Fire!"

"This is truly a grand event. The Iron City hasn't been this lively for hundreds of years!"

"Let us welcome the new Emir of the Iron City, the noble Hamid!"

"Hamid!"

The fire giants cheered loudly.

A burly fire giant appeared in the brass hall, surrounded by his followers.

"Praise the noble and powerful one - Hamid Abdul!"

someone shouted.

This fire giant noble is much taller than ordinary fire giants, more than five meters tall.

This sturdy giant had skin as red as fire, eyes like burning coals, a pair of short black horns on his head, and smoke rising from his body.

His lava-red skin was covered in robes of fine silk and satin, and he wore circles, chains, and rings of gold.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a piece missing from his finger, which is covered by an exaggerated golden finger buckle.

Hamid looked around, then spoke in a strong and powerful voice:
"By the Lord of Flame, welcome to my inauguration party!"

"I came here on behalf of the great Sultan's will and took charge of this city of cast iron for him, just to make the kingdom of the fire giants stronger!"

The fire giant poured some boiling hot wine, raised the brass cup that was emitting white smoke, and spoke loudly.

"Everyone, please let us drink to our heart's content tonight!"

"I will raise a powerful army! You will fight with me, plunder those lowly enemies, and let the Iron City have more slaves and more wealth!"

"Praise Hamid-sama!"

"You are the true Emir! The Grand Sultan's spokesman!"

Amid the cheers, the fire giant noble raised his head, drank the wine in his hand, and puffed out smoke with the smell of alcohol.

Efreeti view all other creatures as enemies or potential serfs.

They often raid the Material and Elemental Planes, capturing slaves to take back to their homes on the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Hamid's words obviously touched the hearts of the fire giants and even made them sing.

"We are the masters of the Elemental Plane of Fire! We are powerful gods and monsters!"

"Plunder! Loot!"

"All lowly races must crawl at our feet! Be our slaves!"

They drank the fine wine on the table, ate the burnt bread and barbecue, and threw away the gold and jewelry they had looted.

Hamid was excited, thinking that this was what he wanted. However, at the last banquet, he encountered an unexpected situation and had his fingers chopped off by a human hybrid from the material world.

"Damn bastard"

"Dare to anger a great efreet noble, I will let you know what true hell is."

Thinking of this, the fire element noble rubbed the golden finger buckle on his hand fiercely, gritting his teeth, and the image of the human being being tortured appeared in his mind.

The fire giants are hypocritical, cunning, cruel and ruthless. They will never tire of taking revenge on those who offend them - and Hamid is no exception.

It's just that he has never succeeded.

"Hehe, today is my big day, so I won't think about that pathetic human bastard for now."

Hamid tore off a piece of the fire dragon's hind leg meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and joined in the feast.

As the spirits of the element of fire, they do not need to eat, but they do not mind enjoying a burnt meal.

But in this warm atmosphere, a discordant voice suddenly came.

"Lord Emir."

"But why did I hear that a human girl just chopped off a piece of your finger?"

"You said so, respected Hamid the Finger-Severed."

Suddenly, everyone around was silent.

The fire giants in the meeting place were so scared that their spoons and plates fell onto the table, making crisp tinkling sounds.

"Snapped!"

The fire giant noble slammed the table so hard that cracks appeared on it.

"who is it!"

"Who's talking!"

Hamid's lava-red face suddenly turned as black as charcoal. Thick smoke came out of his mouth and nose, and an uncontrollable rage was emitting from his head.

Because these words touched his sore spot!
Fire giants are an extremely warlike race, and he was a noble, and the newly appointed Emir of the Iron City - he had his fingers chopped off by a human in public!

This is simply a shame!
The insulting nickname "The Fingerless One" has also been secretly spread among the fire giants in recent days.

If this continues, his dignity as Emir will be lost!
Thinking of this, the Fire Giant noble shouted:
"Despicable villain!"

"Where is the courage that the Lord of Fire has given you? You have the courage to speak, but don't you have the courage to admit it?"

Hamid swept a very oppressive look over the fire giants present.

The fire giants lowered their heads nervously and looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up and admit to accepting the Emir's anger.

"Humph."

Hamid snorted.

"It's fine if you don't dare to admit it! You are a cowardly and cowardly person, the Lord of Fire will punish you!"

Seeing that the fire giants were silent, he paced back and forth in the hall and continued, "Do you think - I dare not take revenge on that human bastard?"

"You are all wrong!"

"I did it on purpose! Burning that human bastard to death would be too easy for her. I want her to experience the ultimate despair!"

Hamid became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tone became more and more passionate.

"I will make that human bastard watch her ridiculous country being destroyed by me, her home being burned to ruins, and her lord being trampled under my feet."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Crisp applause interrupted Hamid's words.

Then, the familiar voice appeared again, with undisguised sarcasm in its calm tone.

"Well said."

"Your daydream is really well told, honorable Lord Hamid the Finger-Severed" (End of this chapter)
