Chapter.30 Watch

“Keueuuuu.”

He got up from the ground with a frown on his face, as if the area where he had been kicked by Lulin was sore.

“Why does the back of my neck hurt so much?”

“hello.”

When I greeted the dwarf, he looked at Lurin and me in turns before he noticed the presence of a stranger and looked surprised.

“human! What are humans doing here? “Get out now!”

The dwarf’s face turned red and he waved his arms. It’s a face that covers it and doesn’t even want to be touched.

Is this what the chieftain meant by asking for something difficult?

“I came here because I had a request. I didn’t mean anything bad, but let’s talk for a moment… .”

“Get out now!”

The dwarf was now about to throw the liquor jar on the floor.

Then Lurin came out in front of me and lifted the dwarf into the air, freezing it.

“How dare you make fun of that insignificant mouth! On the topic of pudgy! Besides, this body is not like a human!”

When I glared at him in that state, the dwarf’s expression became contemplative, as if he felt his peer.

If I had tried to stop him, I would have stopped him long ago, but I just left him alone. Since we can’t communicate, it may be easier for Rurin to step in in these cases.

At least we can make sense now. It is impossible for dwarves to ignore a great race.

***

“Chulokkolokkolok.”

The dwarf began to sip the stew. While looking at Lulin’s thoughts about every 10 seconds.

Then I got caught and had to hit my back. it’s tough.

“I’m sorry. sorry. “Great being.”

“Well, I just need to know.” L Listen carefully! therefore.”

Lurin finally returned to being a bystander and rested her chin as she looked at us from afar. And the dwarf looks at me with shaking eyes.

“Are you human?”

“Yes, I am human. How about soup instead? “It makes you feel better, right?”

Once I changed my mind and said something else, I looked at the stew that the dwarf was drinking.

“I think so. “No, it’s the same.”

“You can talk to me comfortably. I heard that he is over 200 years old. I don’t think you’re used to human language, so just speak whatever you feel comfortable with. “Just be polite to that dragon over there.”

“Is that so?”

The dwarf drank all of the stew again.

Slurp.

The sound rings. It’s like drinking a bowl of makgeolli.

“But do you hate humans? “They say humans should go away.”

“Yes! “I hate humans.”

This dwarf also speaks poorly of humans.

Well, as long as we can communicate, it doesn’t matter. Putting aside the fact that the chief said it was difficult, is it because of this personality that hates humans?

Regardless of that, I asked you to introduce me to the person with the most skill, so I have nothing to say.

“Can you tell me why you don’t like it?”

“Because humans killed my son.”

“Is that true?”

“There is no way you can like your enemy’s race.”

He killed his son.

“Could you tell me in more detail?”

“hate. that… Ugh.”

As soon as I said no, I felt Lulin’s peerage. The fact that there is no expression on the face means that it is unpleasant.

Our Rurin’s sensibility is that we can’t tolerate people treating us carelessly.

“Before the last war, my son was away in a human village. But they used my son as a shield and killed him! When I went there, there were already corpses lying around and no villagers there. “Only my son is dead!”

“Did something like that happen?”

“My son went with the good intention of teaching skills in that village, but these guys! “They!”

“Calm down for a moment. So you’ve been drinking like this ever since?”

“Yes. I couldn’t do anything. Revenge too. I can’t even attack humans with this old body. nothing.”

The dwarf looked around. As if looking for alcohol again.

“By the way, what is the name of that village?”

“Why do you ask that?”

The dwarf asked as he went to the kitchen. But soon, perhaps because of Lulin, he obediently blurted out the village name.

***

“Lurin.”

“you! “Are you done?”

After hearing the name of the village, I told the dwarf that I would go back. I have no intention of forcing a job by using a dragon.

If the events in that village are as the dwarf knows, then it is time to give up.

If not, it would be different.

Lurin was sitting with her chin resting on her face with a bored expression on her face, but as soon as I called her, she came over and stood in front of me.

And hold out your hand.

This means that if it’s over, let’s join hands and go.

But there is something to find out. I think I need to go to the dwarf village again. I need to get some stuff from the chief.

And Lurin.

“It reminds me of the magic tower in the Imperial Palace of Lulin Capital.”

“there?”

“huh. “Please go there.”

“Are you coming? “Alone?”

“huh.”

“What about you?”

“I’m going to the dwarven village. “To gather information quickly, it’s better to work individually.”

“I absolutely hate that!”

Lulin shook his head. It’s a stubborn rejection, but it still feels reassuring.

I am also a very strange person.

I wonder if I’m still shocked that he ignored me and disappeared last time.

“no?”

Nod.

Don’t give me a merciless look. Dragon.

“Go quickly and tell Medrine to immediately investigate which city the place called Roden Village is located in and report it to her. Or they threaten to eat you.”

“I don’t eat that kind of thing! not delicious!”

“It’s a threat. If you really eat it, you’ll be in big trouble. Go straight to the dwarven village you mentioned earlier. “If you do this, you can immediately find a place called Roden Village and move there, so how efficient is it?”

Of course, sending it alone is a bit unsettling, but since Medrine knows Lurin’s identity, she will take care of it and there won’t be any problems.

I wrapped my arms around Lurin’s waist and pulled her, who refused to go alone.

“please. Lurin. “If you bring it, I’ll make it for you.”

He stroked Lurin’s head affectionately and placed his finger on Lulin’s lips. My fingers are snugly buried in Rurin’s lips. Lurin doesn’t even do anything, as if her fingers feel good. Then he nodded.

“If that’s the case! “I’ll be there soon!”

And then it disappeared.

I also ran towards the dwarf village.

***

And the next day.

I visited the house of Randol, a dwarf who had fallen into alcohol again. This dwarf, in his late 200s, was still drinking.

I collected all the information the day before yesterday and yesterday. The reason I came back here again is because I learned through research that Randol’s dislike of humans was very wrong.

“hello.”

“You’re here again! Anyway, it’s been a long time since I stopped working. “Better kill me.”

“No, that’s not it. Could you please come with me for a moment?”

“What are you talking about? that.”

“Please come with me for your son’s honor.”

“My son’s honor?”

While the dwarf was confused, I hugged Lurin and grabbed the dwarf as well.

And the world becomes dark.

The place we arrived at via teleport was Ronen Village in question. The dwarf immediately noticed this and his face was wrinkled.

But soon the villagers came rushing out in front of him. It wasn’t that long ago, so everyone in the village remembered it.

Except for those who were children at the time.

“My benefactor, are you my benefactor’s father?”

The white-haired village head fell to his knees in front of Randol. Randol, whose expression was soaring with anger as he saw his enemies, or rather, those he thought were his enemies, looked at me with an expression filled with absurdity due to the villagers’ actions.

“What is this…?” ?”

“Chief, please explain it yourself.”

“It doesn’t matter if you think of us as enemies. But but… ! Your son, Ranby, was betrayed by us and died a cruel death. He definitely did not die a dishonorable death like that. never… .”

As the village head continued to speak, he almost began to cry.

“What does that mean? You guys… As you all ran away, Ranby was left behind… !”

“no!”

The village chief cried loudly.

“He always liked the people of our village very much. We also used his skills to make crafts and sell them in the city. “The reason Ranbi settled in this village was all because of a wife and daughter from the village named Serinbi.”

“Serinebee… ?”

“After the war broke out, Ranbi began creating a hiding place underground just in case, and when monsters eventually invaded the village, he cornered Serinbi and all the villagers in a hideout and lured the monsters out of the village. “He went to do it.”

“Are you telling me to believe that now?”

“It’s true. “My benefactor’s father.”

The village head bowed his head again, and all the villagers also bowed their heads.

“It is said that your son set out alone to save the villagers. Because he was the only one who knew how to fight properly. Of course, it is said that the three village men who helped Ranby also died. The spirit of sacrifice in urgent situations… .

Your son did not meet his end because he was betrayed, but he gave his life as a hero for the people he considered precious.

I heard that Mr. Randol found his son’s body while all the villagers were hiding, and he was furious and vowed revenge, but the monsters came again and he passed away. I also heard about that situation from the chief.

It is said that after that, the chief, worried about another war due to revenge, tried to dissuade Randol, so he lived a life filled with alcohol… “It shouldn’t have happened like this.”

“no. No, I can’t believe something like that… but… .”

Death as a hero.

A life lost trying to protect others.

Compared to being betrayed and meeting a terrible end, it is a story as different as heaven and earth.

Of course, from the parents’ point of view, it is the same death. Still, it is true that the address of the place to blame is wrong.

“Chief.”

Again, I called the village head. The village chief nodded.

“Serinbi!”

“Chief… And father!”

Serinbee knelt in front of Randol. A long time has passed since then, so the face is already wrinkled. And then he made the boy kneel next to him.

A human and dwarf harp.

Serinbee was also a boy who looked like a dwarf, perhaps because he was short.

“No way?”

Perhaps because he saw his son’s face in the boy’s face, Randall made a blank face.

***

Decades of misunderstanding.

And the truth.

A dwarf who displayed the spirit of sacrifice for his unborn child at the time. In fact, in a way, it was a natural fatherly love. That is the hidden truth. Fatherly love must have touched Randol’s heart more than heroic deeds.

“thanks. I had no intention of visiting that village again. I’m afraid I’ll want to kill everyone. I couldn’t do it because if such a crazy dwarf appeared, it would tarnish the honor of all dwarves. I couldn’t do it. So I’m glad.”

Randol returned and bowed his head in front of me.

“They told me not to live alone and to come to the village. I need to teach my grandson a skill. I will teach you everything. “My everything.”

Randol gritted his teeth and said that. In a voice filled with self-reproach and resentment for the years spent addicted to alcohol.

“But before that, I will definitely repay your kindness. “We, dwarves, are a race that never forgets kindness.”

Randol said that while raising his head.

“Thank you for that.”

“So what do you want to request?”

I snapped my fingers. The summoning door was opened. And the grandfather clock was thrust in front of the dwarf.
