===================

Han-bit transferred his steps to an old cabin at the northern end together with the two people.

Bolibo was dozing off sitting on the chair placed at that entrance.

“What are you doing?”

“Uwah!”

Thump-!

When he tapped his shoulder, Bolibo, shocked out of his wits, fell to the floor.

Flustering he looked around and discovered Han-bit’s face.

“Why are you coming only now!”

Bolibo who abruptly stood up shouted with a completely urgent voice.

It was a somewhat strange reaction.

“What’s wrong?”

“The Guild Master investigated this place and went! Looking clearly at my eyes he asked ‘You were originally the owner of this place?’!”

“…Jin-uk did?”

Han-bit who heard the out-of-the-blue news fell into thought for a moment.

A situation that had never occurred in the past.

But it was in a way natural that variables occurred.

Because the course of actions themselves right now was like a new challenge in the first place.

“How was the investigation?”

“He didn’t say a single word. Even after confirming the dwarves inside he didn’t say a single word! What kind of punishment is he planning to…….”

Hearing him out, it’s said Jin-uk quietly examined the inside and left.

He merely left the seat without warning or expressing anger.

From Bolibo’s position who was trembling, it was a matter that could rather make him fear the future.

‘Was the shock too big?’

The biggest emotion Jin-uk felt in the monster wave is a sense of helplessness.

The existence of monsters he couldn’t stop with his own power.

Since he was tightly united with confidence and self-esteem, the shock must have also approached immensely.

And if it was the Jin-uk Han-bit knew, it was clear he would try to build up his skills while being angry.

“Zenon-ssi, by any chance did you hear something?”

“I heard the story that the Guild Master is investigating the forest around Ifrit. He said he was going to the northeast where the monsters appeared.”

“Is that so?”

The information Zenon told him was exactly the same as Han-bit’s memory.

Investigating the cause of the monster wave and the changes in the surroundings.

It was the order he received from his older sister the Mayor.

‘For now I should move quickly.’

The possibility that other variables might arise from Jin-uk’s investigation is sufficient.

Since there are also expected things, it would be good to proceed with preparations as quickly as possible right now.

“Let’s go in for now. You come too.”

“No, what about the Guild Master? Will I be okay? By any chance if a problem occurs… Ugh!”

Han-bit pushed the flustering Bolibo’s back and entered the inside of the building.

A new space was created in the basement.

“It’s a peculiar structure.”

“It’s something the dwarves did themselves. The lower part is used as a living area…….”

Han-bit’s words as he was going down along the stairs stopped.

Because the space spread out before his eyes was completely different from yesterday.

‘Extremely fast.’

The crude scenery of the basement he saw last was nowhere to be found.

Right now only the inside of a castle harmonized with the dwarves’ unique traditional atmosphere was spread out.

“You have come!”

While looking with surprised eyes, Kudran appeared.

A work bag was tied at his waist.

“Did you work on this in that short time?”

“We tried reviving old memories together with everyone to loosen up our hands! I hope the Prince would also like it!”

– Dope;

– This is a dwarf?

– The guys who are good when they do it…….

– This much even without the blessing?

– It’s also different from making equipment.

– Let’s change classes to architect.

The dwarves who lived in the village had only done chores and manual labor for several years.

For work like city wall repair they needed to familiarize their hands first.

“It’s nice. Let’s bring the two people too.”

Han-bit sent a message to Kim Jae-ha.

It was a short content asking him to come together with Goric somehow.

“It seems we need to share a conversation for a moment, where shall we wait?”

“Ah, the reception room is this way!”

Kudran took the lead with a slightly excited voice.

The place Han-bit arrived at was the 2nd basement floor.

“Up to what floor are you going to make?”

“For now we have done construction up to the 2nd floor. In my heart I’d like to recreate the old castle as it was.”

“…Was it 8 floors there?”

“How did you know?”

“Because I think I heard it from His Majesty.”

The 2nd basement floor arrived at while hearing the grand construction plan.

Han-bit entered the reception room together with everyone.

Kim Jae-ha and Goric arrived about 10 minutes later.

“Did uselessly unnecessary things.”

Goric who sat on the opposite seat spoke with a blunt voice.

It was an impression of the familiar scenery of the basement.

Kim Jae-ha watching that appearance opened his mouth as if speaking for him.

“He says he quite likes it.”

“When did I say such words?”

“Didn’t you keep rejoicing muttering to yourself earlier?”

“Hmph. Could not properly revive our tradition. The angle of that pillar and the depth of carving the groove is…….”

Goric pointed everywhere with his finger and continued explaining.

That reaction itself was a reaction that he liked it sufficiently.

If it was simply made into a beautiful structure he would have gone outside the building as it is.

‘Seems they got closer.’

Goric who continues pointing out in the appearance of a stubborn artisan, and Kim Jae-ha receiving it suitably.

They looked like a master and disciple who had worked together for several years.

“I apologize! We will try to implement it perfectly as much as possible!”

“We will do our best!”

“…….”

The dwarves hearing that story spat out resolve along with apologies.

However, the prince could not give any answer.

‘Well, it’s still early.’

Goric who cried out his subjects’ names in the village the monsters swept through.

Aside from such an appearance containing sincerity, the past affairs are deeply dark.

The emotional problem would be a problem that each other’s time and effort must be poured into.

“Hadn’t the dwarven prince disappeared?”

At that time, Zenon who was staying quiet slyly asked a question.

The dwarven prince who hid his appearance in Ifrit.

Because no matter how he looked at it, it was exactly the same as the face in his memories.

“Why is a human adventurer in this seat?”

Goric also revealed signs of discomfort.

To him, Ifrit residents were still targets to be wary of.

“It would be better to explain at once. I will tell you.”

At the successive questions Han-bit organized the entire situation and relayed it.

From the dwarven heritage reaching down to the monster wave there were almost no contents hidden.

“This… I completely did not easily expect.”

When the story finished, Zenon became a serious face.

He who agonized for a moment looked at Han-bit and spoke.

“To summarize, you mean the dwarven heritage is needed to stop the danger that will visit Ifrit? Is that also the reason you intend to subjugate the master of the snowy mountain?”

“More than subjugation the recovery of the heritage is the top priority. Zenon-ssi also noticed that the monster wave was strange right?”

“…It didn’t simply seem like movements led by instinct. Including the strangeness of the undead-like trolls, the composition of different species of monsters swarming at the same time wasn’t ordinary either.”

Zenon nodded his head saying it was a matter that hadn’t even happened in the past.

The monsters didn’t swarm together by chance, but attacked simultaneously as if promised. That was the important viewpoint.

‘His eyes are indeed good.’

The adventurer with the best perceptiveness and judgment in Ifrit is Zenon.

Excluding him there was no figure to notice this singularity.

It was clear he was a far more excellent resource in terms of tactics and strategy than Guild Master Jin-uk whose abilities were entirely skewed towards combat.

“My thoughts are that the wave that will follow next will be far more dangerous. It would be impossible with the glass city wall outside.”

“City wall… I see.”

A long explanation wasn’t necessary for Zenon.

However, realistic problems remain.

“I understood the reason you are trying to find the dwarves’ technology. But I don’t know how much time will be consumed to find the master of the snowy mountain.”

“You also said there are entirely no sightseeing records right?”

“There is an eyewitness account recorded 200 years ago, but the reliability falls far behind.”

– 200 years ㄷㄷ

– Actually maybe it didn’t exist originally?

– Before seeing it, it doesn’t exist.

– Schrodinger’s field boss;

– Goric weeping loudly.

Like Zenon’s words the master of the snowy mountain, Snow Drake, has never revealed its appearance.

However, that was merely that it wasn’t revealed to the outside.

Inside the snowy mountain it was always alive and breathing.

“I saw it with my two eyes. Although I ran away to live, what I mean is I clearly saw that huge white guy!”

Goric raised his body and raised his voice.

An appeal that it wasn’t a lie, but no one had doubted it yet.

“It would be certain that the guy exists. Since if it was already subjugated a change would have occurred in the snowy mountain. The important thing is what influence this monster abnormality…….”

“Ah.”

At that time, Kim Jae-ha who was next to him slightly narrowed his brow.

When he turned his head, he moving his hand relayed a single message.

Ding-

[Taeyul Company-Department Head Lee Ho-joong]

[Hey, you bastard. How long has it been since the time passed, you’re not popping over?]

Han-bit checking the time realized the promised time had passed.

Of course, he had completely no thoughts of hurrying.

“Don’t mind it, and let’s finish the work here first before going.”

“Got it.”

At the peaceful reaction Kim Jae-ha also nodded his head.

Han-bit turned his gaze to everyone again.

“Anyway find the master of the snowy mountain, and retrieve the dwarven heritage. Up to here is the goal. I will tell you the details while watching the situation.”

“If you have tactics or plans you are thinking of, how about taking more personnel? The scope of choices will become much wider.”

Zenon immediately suggested a supplementary measure.

They are understandable words, but right now taking more NPCs was an ambiguous option.

“If the Guild Master went out for investigation, quite a lot of skilled adventurers must have moved too right?”

“Yes. Even so around afternoon the personnel returning will increase.”

“Afternoon is late. I will try to pull strings for the reinforcement, so please leave it to me.”

“It seems you have a party you have looked at. If stability increases it’s a good thing.”

Zenon nodded his head saying it was a relief.

The Taeyul Company’s party is also reinforcement looking at it somehow, so it wasn’t completely wrong words.

“Then next are the things to prepare here. Your Highness, what would be needed to defend the city?”

“…Are the opponents only monsters?”

“You just need to focus on monsters. Since I will organize the other side.”

“Hmm.”

At Han-bit’s question Goric stroked his chin.

And then continued words with a displeased expression.

“If it’s a direction that doesn’t replace the damn city wall it will take a lot of effort. Since we’ll have to make weapons and magic tools and such. Each and every material wouldn’t be easy either.”

“It’s fine. Please write down only the materials you need here.”

Han-bit took out a huge parchment and handed it to him.

It was to the extent of fully filling the top of the table.

“Are you truly fine with it?”

“Of course.”

“…Good. I will write down all of them.”

Goric who nodded his head grabbed the quill pen with a resolute expression.

When about 30 minutes had passed, dense letters were filled on the parchment.

“Might have to see the situation, but right now this much should be enough.”

Goric who finished writing nodded his head and took his hand off the quill pen.

Thanks to Zenon slipping in opinions in between, the contents became a bit more than the memories of the past.

Han-bit spoke towards Bolibo who was staring with his mouth wide open.

“You know what you have to do right?”

“T-To really get all of this?”

“Get it as quickly as possible. When it finishes well I’ll bill the cost for you.”

“…Really?”

“What would I lie for? Instead if you are late it’s not going to happen.”

“Hmph. What are you seeing me as.”

At the words that he could receive compensation Bolibo’s attitude changed.

He who grabbed the parchment stood up from his seat.

“Ah, Kudran-ssi also please help Bolibo together with the other dwarves.”

“Understood!”

Kudran who nodded his head left the reception room together with Bolibo.

Han-bit watching that appearance also stood up from his seat.

“Let’s depart too.”
