Chapter.9 Dwarf Village

“Chwiiik chwiik.”

The orcs surrounded the surrounding area and were whining. It may seem like meaningless wailing, but it is clearly the language of the Orcs. To me, it just sounds like profit.

In this case, it’s Rurin. There is no language that dragons cannot understand.

“Lurin, what are they saying?”

“No, don’t kill me. Catch it… “I said so!”

At my request, Lurin began to simultaneously interpret the orc’s conversation.

“Chwiiik?”

The orc is talking again. So, I also saw Rurin.

“Is that so? They say? “Those guys are stupid.”

Rurin laughs as she interprets it.

“Chwiiik chwiiik?”

“But what are those humans?”

Now, the Lulin interpreter starts automatically. It’s comfortable.

“Chwiik, Chwiik, Chwiik, Chwiik!”

“It’s an intruder! Let’s catch and kill him!”

“Chwiiikik chwiik!”

“Aang! it’s bothering! Interpret! “I’m going to kill you anyway!”

The interpreter malfunctioned and exploded.

The performance is good, but it is an interpreter with no patience.

And honestly, that’s true. Orcs are the enemies of humans.

The number of people killed by the Orc army in the last war is countless. Isn’t the dwarves still being captured and oppressed?

“Okay, do whatever you want.”

When I said yes, Lurin raised her hands high in the sky.

Kwaaaaang!

The orcs in front of Lulin are caught up in powerful mana and their bodies explode. With magic that boils and explodes the energy of living things, the orcs began to burn as if they were self-igniting.

Quang!

Explosions and heat waves.

Soon the orcs are roasted and fall down.

“Chuiik! Chwiik!”

The orcs behind me were surprised and ran towards me with their weapons drawn, but I fired a barrage of flame and burned them as expected.

What is rising is smoke.

The dead ones are orcs.

The dwarf looked at us with his mouth open with a frightened look on his face. The tall dwarf is exactly half my height. It looks a little funny when you sit down.

“amazing! “Humans are strong!”

I went straight to the point, facing the admiring dwarf.

“Would you please guide me to where the other dwarves are being held? “I have a favor to ask the dwarves, so let me help you.”

“You mean a request? but… The number of orcs is quite large. “I think the number is around 100.”

“But did you run away alone?”

If so, isn’t he a very dishonest dwarf? Dwarves are a race with an especially strong sense of kinship. There are some parts where you shouldn’t think like a human.

“I am a dwarf. I didn’t run away alone. I tried to run away and somehow find other dwarven compatriots to ask for help. Because I can’t be held captive by the orcs forever. “If the orcs hadn’t been holding the young dwarves hostage, I would have died fighting!”

“Oh, was it something like that? Then Mr. Dwarf? “What’s your name?”

“I am Verinum.”

“jeon. “It’s El.”

“Right! I am grateful for the help of humans. But it is also unreasonable in terms of numbers. Unless a human army comes. So, I will go find my people.”

“No, it’s not difficult.”

“You want to beat 100 orcs with two humans? “I’m not a dwarf fool.”

“It’s okay. Could you please guide me first?”

“but… “If you do that, you too will die.”

The dwarf stuttered, still looking disbelieving. Lurin then looks at the dwarf, probably feeling frustrated.

The act of just glaring because it’s too bothersome to talk.

But the dwarf, who looked into Lulin’s eyes without thinking, froze.

Dragon Fear rises from Lulin’s body. Proof of a higher-dimensional being that cannot come from a human body.

Usually, if the peer is strong, weak monsters or humans will die instantly.

But that’s Peer in his dragon state.

In the polymorph state, instant death does not occur. However, Lulin was emitting energy that was enough to cause fainting.

In any case, Rurin’s identity must be revealed. Because what is entrusted to the dwarves is none other than the construction of rares. So there is no need to stop it.

“The great being above… “Twenty o’clock?”

The dwarf was so surprised that he shouted in a twisted pronunciation and fell to the floor.

Elves and Dwarves. These two races worship dragons as great beings. For that reason, Elena fell down as soon as she saw Lurin.

“Great One! He just looks like a human… .”

“Don’t be too scared, Lurin. “We need to form an employment relationship, but if you scare us like that, our efficiency won’t increase?”

“But I can’t stand being rude to you.”

“Okay, stop it. “If you knock him out, things will only get more complicated.”

When I patted her head and calmed her down, Lurin, who had been showing anger, nodded and took a step back.

The dwarf made a painful face, but when the pressure from the peer disappeared, he barely took a breath and opened his mouth.

“Anyway, I don’t know about our dwarves. How can a human being reach such a great being… !”

The dwarf, who was expressing doubts, stiffened when Lulin glared at him again and spoke.

“El is greater than humans! To the same extent as me!”

“If I don’t guide you quickly, the dragon will explode?”

“Like that? Oh, I see! This is this way for now. this way!”

At my words, the dwarf broke into a cold sweat and began to pant forward. Perhaps because there was a being in front of me that could not even be compared to an orc, my body was shaking with tension and fear.

As you cross the mine, leave the basin, and move deeper into the mountain, a place that looks like an underground bunker appears.

“The orcs built an underground fortress here. We, the dwarves, made it. “We are trapped here.”

A dwarf whose speaking style became strange because he used honorifics.

The entrance to the basement he pointed to was empty.

“Could you please wait here? “I will rescue the other dwarves.”

“Thank you. “If you save our dwarves, I won’t forget your kindness.”

The dwarf said that to me and then bowed his head again to Lurin. I invaded the underground fortress with Lurin.

There was no one at the entrance, but as soon as I went in, it was swarming with orcs.

Quaaaang!

He started using wide-range magic on the group to fry the orcs. The smell of burning fills the underground passage.

After instantly killing the group of orcs gathered, a huge space was created underground. Orcs’ home. And prison. A blacksmith shop where dwarves work.

The structure is reminiscent of an anthill.

The ones who built this fortress must have been none other than dwarves. This type of construction technology is also desperately needed for rare construction.

“Let’s beat up the Lurin orcs.”

“Hehe, I’m excited!”

Lurin unleashes the dragon’s attacking instinct and releases mana with an excited expression.

“Chuiik! Chwiik!”

“Human intruders! die! He said. “You’re so cocky.”

“okay?”

Even though I didn’t order it, the interpreter restarted.

At the same time, Lulin’s mana storm poured out, and the orcs exploded and fell here and there. I also killed every Orc I could see.

A pile of ashes here, a pile of ashes there.

After using explosion magic, the basement shakes and dirt falls down. This is not very desirable.

“Chwiik Chwiik!”

The orc kept jumping out, probably because it realized it was under attack. This number is almost like an army. What we have now advanced into is the square-like part of an anthill.

It seems like all the orcs have flocked to this square.

Around the round square there is a dwarf prison and a blacksmith shop where orc weapons are forcibly smelted.

The dwarves look at me and Lurin with surprised rabbit eyes.

If the basement collapses, Lulin and I will be crushed to death and the dwarves will be completely wiped out, so I stopped using explosion magic and started spraying ice-type magic.

The orcs start to freeze. A strong chill swept through the floor of the square.

“Chwiiikik!’

The orcs howled louder, perhaps sensing that it was high-ranking magic.

“Chwiiik!”

“noisy! “Stop making a profit!”

Perhaps because of this, the interpreter malfunctioned and exploded again.

It radiated dragon fear and scared the orcs behind who had not yet been hit by the ice magic.

Coo coo coo coo!

The basement shakes once again.

Dragon Fear’s strong presence struck the underground fortress.

“Chuiik! Chuiiiiiik! Chwiik!”

The orcs who realized what the peer meant began to run away like crazy. Because they were all frozen by my ice-type magic, only a small number survived and escaped.

After recognizing Lulin as a dragon, the Orcs already gave up their will to fight.

A creature facing a dragon’s peer usually has two options. Bow down or run away.

Sometimes you get killed by a dragon regardless of your choices.

And there are people like me who choose fighting as the third option.

Anyway, the orcs were on the run.

“They were annoying guys.”

The only thing that was annoying was having to translate. Lurin sprayed mana at the fleeing orcs and began swiping their foreheads. Of course, I didn’t shed a single drop of sweat.

The freed dwarves also already sensed Peer. However, if the Orcs are the ones running away, the Dwarves are the ones who bow down and watch.

All the dwarves rushed over and bowed before Lurin.

***

Utopia exists for living creatures.

For me, it’s the peace of a restaurant, but for dwarves, it’s the desire to improve their technical skills.

The obsession with technology, which began with iron smelting, has continued for a long time.

Right now at this moment.

At the very site where the mountain peak collapsed and struck the basin, destroying the village. The moment he gathered the dwarves here and presented them with a blueprint to explain what would happen next.

The dwarves, who seemed to have no energy perhaps because of the collapsed village, looked at the blueprint I gave them and their eyes began to shine.

“I plan to install the highest quality marble here. Differentiate between floors, create numerous rooms, and of course, the most important thing is the space of the dragon body. The magic of the dragon and the technological power of the dwarves will come together. The best dragon rare ever. “I think it will be possible if this plan is followed.”

“Oooh… !”

“Oh oh!”

All of the gathered dwarves expressed interest. The chief who was at the very center asked me a question on behalf of him.

“Are you saying they created a space like this under the ground?”

“That’s right.”

The dwarves began to exclaim exclamations to each other.

Lurin is currently sitting on top of a pile of stones that the dwarves improvised.

As soon as the dwarves came out of the underground and returned to the destroyed village, they piled up stones around them at an incredible speed and advised Rurin to rest in peace.

Lurin suddenly settled down there, and all the dwarves bowed down there as if they were worshiping a god.

Lulin became a god.

“Great One!”

The dwarves bowed down in front of Lurin and could not move.

Then Lurin said this to the dwarves.

“Yes. I am great. Hi-Hi. “Right you?”

It was good to look down on the dwarves with dignity, but the dialogue was a mess. Why are you laughing at me?

The dignity it had created disappeared in an instant. In about 1 second.

Of course, within me.

Dwarves are still in awe.

The dwarves seemed curious about the relationship between Lurin and me, a human, but there wasn’t much to explain. I can only explain that I am her companion. Although the explanation is somewhat ambiguous. There is no clear answer about my relationship with her.

However, perhaps because they had seen my magic, the dwarves no longer expressed any doubts and called me Elnim.
