Factory

As soon as I gave that nod to the Echo Bat, it opened its mouth.

Once the Echo Bat opened its mouth like this, the light seemed to dim from the eyes of the gnome.

It was as if it was being put into a trance with the way that its eyes seemed to go blank.

Once it was in this state, the undead that had been holding the gnome suddenly let go of it and it fell forward. 

Iris and Wang Rong looked like they were on guard against it, but there was no need for them to act this way.

After the gnome fell forward, it suddenly looked up at me before falling to its knees in front of me. As it kneeled there in front of me, it suddenly bowed its head down to show submission towards me.

I gave a simple nod before saying, "Rise."

The gnome stood up once again and just stood there in front of me as if it was waiting for an order.

During this time, I took a good look at the gnome to see just what kind of appearance it had.
