Burning wilderness, city of pig iron.
The city sits on a mottled iron hemisphere with a radius of several miles, and is surrounded by flowing rivers of fire.
Outside the brass gate, there are huge and terrifying multi-headed basilisks, pythons and other monsters patrolling.
The low hoarse sound of "呲呲" echoes in the river of flames, and they will devour all uninvited intruders with their hungry stomachs.
There are fountains of fire, burning palaces, and mansions made of charcoal.
The city was already a wonder, but it was only a poor imitation of the legendary "City of Brass."
According to the fire dwarves, it is not even one ten thousandth of the size of the City of Brass.
Although there are suspicions of exaggeration, it fully shows the greatness of the legendary City of Brass and the superb construction skills of the fire dwarves.
"Praise to the great Sultan!"
"Praise be to Allah the Fire!"
At this moment, in the tallest building made of brass in the center of the city, melodious flute sounds continued to sound, as well as warm cheers and shouts.
This was an extraordinarily grand banquet, and all the fire djinn in the city gathered here to celebrate the arrival of the new "Emir".
The Great Sultan was an efreeti with extraordinary power and strength, assisted by various chiefs, governors, emirs and nobles. His direct servants were six very powerful pashas.
The protagonist of this banquet is named Hamid Abdul, a fire djinn noble of noble blood - and the emir sent by the Great Sultan to take over the Pig Iron City.
"The flame of Allah is upon us!"
"This is really a grand event. The Pig Iron City has not been so lively for hundreds of years!"
"Let us welcome the arrival of the new Emir of the Pig Iron City - the noble Hamid!"
"Hamid!"
The efreets cheered loudly.
A burly efreet appeared in the Brass Hall surrounded by his entourage.
"Praise the noble and powerful man - 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, and a pair of short black horns on the top of his head. Smoke curled up from his body.
His lava-red skin was clad in robes of fine silk and satin, and he wore hoops, chains, and rings of gold.
And if you look closely, you will find that a piece of his finger is missing, which is covered by an exaggerated gold finger buckle.
Hamid looked around, and then said in a strong and powerful tone:
"By Allah the Fire, welcome everyone to my inaugural banquet!"
"I come here on behalf of the great Sultan's will and take charge of this pig iron city for him, just to make the efreedom kingdom more powerful!"
The fire djinn poured the scalding wine, raised the brass wine glass that was smoking white, and said loudly.
"Everyone, please let us drink as much as we want tonight!"
"I will form a powerful army! You will join me in the conquest, plunder those humble enemies, and let the Pig Iron City have more slaves and more wealth!"
"Praise to Lord Hamid!"
"You are a worthy emir! The spokesperson of the Great Sultan!"
Amidst bursts of cheers, the efreeti nobles raised their heads, drank the wine in their hands, and puffed out alcohol-smelling smoke.
Efreets view all other creatures as enemies or potential serfs.
They often raid the Material Plane and the Elemental Plane, capturing slaves from them and taking them back to their homes on the Elemental Plane of Fire.
Hamid's words obviously touched the hearts of the efreeti and even made them sing joyfully.
"We are the masters of the fire elemental plane! We are powerful gods and monsters!"
"Plunder! Loot!"
"All despicable races will crawl at our feet! Be our slaves!"
They drank freely from the wine on the table, ate the burnt bread and barbecue, and threw around the looted gold and jewelry.
Hamid, on the other hand, was full of excitement, thinking that this was what he wanted. But at the last banquet, he encountered an unexpected situation, and his fingers were chopped off by a human bastard from the material world.
"Damn bastard"
"How dare you anger a great efreet noble, I will show you what real hell is."
Thinking of this, the fire element noble rubbed the gold finger buckle on his hand fiercely, gritting his teeth, and the image of human beings being tortured appeared in his heart.
Efreets are hypocritical, cunning, and ruthless. They will take pains to exact revenge on those who offend them - and Hamid is no exception.
It's just that he has never succeeded.
"Hmph, today is my happy day, so let's not think about that miserable human bastard."
Hamid tore off a piece of flame dragon's hind leg meat, put it into his mouth, chewed it hard, and joined in the feast.
As fire element spirits, they don't need to eat, but they don't object to tasting a delicious burnt meal.
But in this warm atmosphere, an unharmonious voice suddenly came.
"Lord Emir."
"But how did I hear that you just had a finger chopped off by a human girl?"
"You say so, my dear Hamid the Finger Severer"
Suddenly, the surroundings were as silent as cicadas.
The fire djinn at the venue were so frightened that their spoons and plates fell onto the table, making a crisp clanging sound.
"Crack!"
The efreet noble slapped the table hard, causing cracks to appear on it.
"Who is it!"
"Who is talking!"
Hamid's lava-red face suddenly turned as black as coke, thick smoke came out of his mouth and nose, and an uncontrollable anger erupted from the top of his head.
Because these words touched his sore spot!
The efreets are an extremely warlike race, and as a noble and the new emir of the Pig Iron City, he actually had his fingers cut off by a human in full view of everyone!
This is simply a shame!
And the insulting nickname of "Finger Severer" has also been secretly spread among the efreets in recent days.
If this continues, his majesty as the Emir will not be preserved!
Thinking of this, the fire giant noble gave a sharp shout:
"Despicable villain!"
"Where is the courage given to you by the Flame God? You have the courage to say it, but don't you have the courage to admit it?"
Hamid glanced at all the efreeti present with extremely oppressive eyes.
The fire djinn lowered their heads nervously and looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up and admit to accept the emir's anger.
"Hmph."
Hamid snorted coldly.
"Forget it if you don't dare to admit it! You are a cowardly guy who hides his head and tail, and the Flame God will punish you!"
Seeing the silence of the efreeti, 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!"
"That was all my intention! Because it would be too easy for her to directly burn that human bastard to death. I want her to experience the ultimate despair!"
Hamid became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tone became more passionate as he spoke.
"I will let that human bastard watch with her own eyes as her ridiculous kingdom is destroyed by me; the home she lives in is burned to rubble by me; and the lord she serves is trampled under my feet."
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Crisp applause sounded, interrupting Hamid's words.
Immediately afterwards, the familiar voice appeared again, with undisguised sarcasm in his calm tone.
"Well said."
"You tell this daydream very well, the distinguished Lord Hamid, the Finger Severer" (End of Chapter)
