“The Human race saw His Majesty……?”

The dwarf expressed question at a situation completely undrawable.

If it’s an audience at the Royal Castle it’s almost impossible indeed, but the story in memory was slightly different.

“The Amethyst Forest at the edge of the northwest. I lived there.”

“…Pardon?”

Han-bit continued uncovering the prepared story.

However, it was not a lie.

Since it’s a true story he experienced when he was reincarnated into an adventurer’s body.

“Were you truly a survivor of… that place.”

Unlike up to now, the dwarf mumbled with a sorrowful voice.

The Amethyst Forest that bordered his nation, the Hedrick Kingdom.

The bloody battle with monsters that covered that place took away even the King’s life.

As it’s the cause for escaping to Ifrit, he absolutely could not forget it.

“When the King arrived at our village, he told us stories of dwarves. About metallurgy too, I learned it back then.”

“To think you heard the secret I only realized a few years ago… in those old days!”

Heat was felt in the dwarf’s gaze.

Not disappointment and regret, but an admiration mixed with sincerity.

Then nodding his head alone, he started telling an old story.

“What are you saying? You mean a secret?”

“Wasn’t what they use dwarves’ metallurgy?”

At that time, the two people listening to the story from a step behind sneaked out words.

Since it’s a secret hidden even within the dwarf race, it must be unfamiliar naturally.

“Dwarves’ metallurgy is something like a blessing. It’s the feeling of a qualified royalty bestowing power. Of course, taking back the blessing is also the royalty’s authority.”

“…But their prince ran away?”

“That’s why they got ruined right?”

– Crazy. Lol

– Goric snowball ;

– There was a reason they became incompetent.

– Reason.txt why a buffer is important.

– Understand, you inferior dealer bastards.

– Yeah, tool cut.

The problem that visited the dwarves here was simple.

That Prince Goric, who had to distribute the blessing, disappeared.

Losing technology and unable to hear the sound of materials, their value fell endlessly.

“By any chance is the token I have the tool that bestows that blessing?”

“No, that’s a tool to find the hammer.”

“A hammer?”

“It’s a royal heritage, since you need that to be able to bestow blessings. Although right now Goric lost it in the snow mountain.”

“Ah…….”

Knowing the inside story, Kim Jae-ha was flustered.

Dwarves who weren’t treated as helpers of the story from the start.

It was a simple reason that they were useless due to being incompetent and greedy.

But to think the cause originated from Goric’s escape.

Even the token he obtained was a far too important item.

“You said we can’t use this token right? Then there’s no way other than persuading the prince?”

“Even if you persuade him well Goric won’t return here. Instead you serve the role as a middle bridge, Hyung. It’s the most important job in the episode.”

“That’s why I’m more worried…….”

Kim Jae-ha’s importance had been emphasized several times.

A plan decided from the moment he knew he was the first discoverer of the achievement.

Simply speaking, he has to do the exact same thing he did.

The role of learning metallurgy and delivering a portion of the blessing’s power to the dwarves.

“Then how do you plan to do it now? That friend just seems excited though…….”

Avant-garde who listened to the story pointed to the front.

There, the dwarf was still chattering about the old story.

“Well, gotta resolve everything.”

There are quite a few things to do in Ifrit.

Because of that, this time he had no thought of stepping on the train of the past.

“…Why again?”

When he looked at Kim Jae-ha silently, he asked as if anxious.

Han-bit lightly patted his shoulder.

“You’ll probably be able to do it, Hyung.”

“What? What am I really going to do?”

‘What else. Enduring Goric’s hell-like technology transfer process until the end.’

This thought that rose right up to his chin was swallowed inside.

Since if it’s Kim Jae-ha, he would clearly accomplish it successfully.

“There’s something like that.”

“No…….”

– ?

– Yeah, let’s do well.

– Black Dragon, what are you trying to do again;

While questions gathered, Han-bit turned his gaze to the dwarf again.

“Then let’s change the proposal. If you help me, I will solve the problem regarding the blessing. You will be able to recover technological power enough to make a living even if not all of it.”

“Oh! Do you by any chance know where His Highness the Prince is!”

The dwarf pushed his face in and raised his voice.

However, if they immediately meet the prince, the result is only a tragedy.

Should he say it was actually fortunate that they were separated.

“Finding that is also my job. You guys also don’t want to continue living like that right?”

“Mmm.”

At this question the dwarf closed his mouth.

Agonizing for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Recovering technology is good, but as expected I have no thought of using power more than necessary for Ifrit!”

The dwarf asserted saying he hated devoting himself to the city.

It wasn’t a thought helpful to Han-bit’s plan, but there was also no need to persuade him right now.

Because he would directly realize the necessity of city protection sooner or later.

“You just have to do what I request.”

“Then good! I am called Kudran!”

“I am Black Dragon.”

Han-bit holding Kudran’s hand shook lightly.

Ding-

[Main Quest #2 has been completed.]

[Progress rate increases.]

[Main Quest #3: Dwarf Village]

Met the manager of the dwarf village, Kudran.

The reason their treatment fell to the bottom is the absence of the blessing.

The solution is only Goric’s heart changing.

How can this situation be fixed?

Objective: Move to the dwarf village and converse with them.

Reward: 50,000 Gold, 30,000 EXP, 2 Stat Points

Current Progress Rate: 5 Percent

‘Not bad.’

The quest’s contents clearly contained the direction to advance.

The important thing right now is one thing.

Only the dwarves’ metallurgy.

Ding-

At that time, an alarm rang the ears again.

Looking at the system window, a message had arrived.

Turning the screen, he secretly checked the contents.

「Luna」

「Competition to obtain the dwarves’ metallurgy will start again. Since corporations smelled it, players including vanguards will probably flock in.」

‘Faster than expected.’

Other people’s movements were faster than expected.

If it was a trend of observing a little up to now, it seems they are trying to move to action first now.

「Black Dragon」

「Thank you for the info. To say one thing too, I recommend trying to go to the north of Peria Island at midnight today. The people decreased a lot right now too, right?」

「Luna」

「That’s right, yeah? Since the work increased too much starting from episode reset to non-public area, and dwarf metallurgy. Over half pulled out though… seems there’s something fun?」

「Black Dragon」

「There’s something that reveals its figure only when there are no people you see. Need to pour in a few days, but who knows if you might discover weapon materials helpful to Luna-ssi.」

The information Luna sent gave quite a big help.

Because he was planning to make Yeon-woo look into it later.

As much as she showed goodwill first, he wanted to return the sincerity.

Since he heard she uses ice-type power, wouldn’t it become quite a big gift for her.

「Luna」

「I’ll be sure to go. Watching the broadcast continuously too, so please make it fun.」

The conversation concluded along with the final message.

Actually, he didn’t know he’d form a friendly relationship with a large corporation’s vanguard this fast.

Is it due to feeling that the person named Luna isn’t ordinary.

The act of exchanging information with each other was also more interesting than expected.

Sssk-

Han-bit opened a separate screen and looked around the community.

The atmosphere there was hot in various ways.

Posts uploaded on all sorts of topics were being refreshed without time to rest.

Because they are all paths Black Dragon passed through, it’s a fascinating sight whenever seen.

Han-bit touched a title he saw in the middle.

Black Dragon went to Ifrit, if it’s a hidden skill doesn’t it seem like he’ll get it?

Heard Kim Jae-ha hanging out together is the first discoverer of the achievement.

– Would it?

– Look how many they found back then. Lol

– Corporations are still quiet too.

– Yeah vanguards too ain’t really got anything that came out.

– No groundless fuss.

– But what if I find it?

– └If you find it I’ll give 100 million gold.

– └Taking that and give 200 million.

– └End, it was bastards without even ten thousand gold.

– Just enough to try rubbing isn’t it?

– Yeah nothing to lose though.

– If vanguards move I go too.

Seeing the comment atmosphere, it seemed they hadn’t grasped the situation yet.

To that extent, it could be known well how fast Luna relayed the info.

Is this the reason why Yeon-woo told him to build vanguard connections.

‘Gotta hurry.’

Anyway, since he noticed movement from the outside, there is no time to delay.

Not because he was wary of them, but because he has to use them in the right places.

Because just like in the aquarium dungeon, passionate competitors also become good tools.

At some point, Han-bit approached the dwarf who was organizing the surroundings.

“Let’s slowly go to the village.”

“Ah, please wait a moment!”

Monster residues and work tools scattered around.

Kudran was working hard to return those to their places.

“I will help.”

“Oh! Is it true! Then I truly thank you!”

At Kudran’s words without refusal, the three people moved busily and organized the surroundings.

After the work was all finished like that.

Kudran spoke with a slightly touched face.

“Thank you for helping! I didn’t know it would end this fast!”

“It’s nothing much.”

Han-bit, who answered with pleasantries, slithered his gaze to the city wall entrance.

Goric, who had returned at some point, was hiding his body and looking at this place.

‘Yeah, must have a lot of thoughts.’

If he appears here right now and cleans up the twisted relationship, the story becomes much easier.

However, the heart of the prince alienated by his people remained with a deep scar difficult to recover.

Because unlike looking like a completely clogged artisan, Goric is a rather tender person in his own way.

“Then I will guide you to the village right away!”

While lost in thought for a moment, Kudran brought up words.

Han-bit, who turned his body, nodded his head.

“Let’s go.”
