Chapter 201
Episode 201
The dwarf village is slowly getting closer.
In fact, it would be difficult to call it a village. As I said, dwarves have a strong independent personality.
Since there were only two villages living together in a large area and their size was not large, their stubbornness was understandable.
After regaining his appetite, X took a screenshot with a crystal sphere.
“The atmosphere is just right.”
Dreamy scenery!
It’s so peaceful you wouldn’t think it was a blacksmith’s village.
The giant mushrooms growing everywhere had doors and windows.
As I was looking around, I heard a metallic sound that irritated my eardrums.
Clap clap clap.
An argument ensues.
“How many times do I have to tell you to understand, you dwarf! “There’s no point in adding a dynamic device there?”
“There is no point in making it as you said. “I will succeed in my own way.”
“No matter how much advice I give him, he is stubborn until the end. “This is the first time in the whole world I have seen such a small person.”
More than just a lively exchange of opinions!
Regardless of their personalities, dwarves generally had a strong passion for production.
Thanks to this, shouting continued everywhere. Vandam and Pahuren burst into laughter.
“Even though time has passed, this place is still the same.”
“That’s right. Anyway, you need to understand stubbornness.”
“X looks a little surprised?”
Burkandal grinned and raised the corner of his mouth.
X quickly shook his head.
“I was a little surprised because it seemed like this was a town with more passion than I expected. “Anyway, there seem to be only a few people living together… but compared to that, there are a lot of sculptures and decorations, right?”
Glitter!
Eye-catching sculptures and mechanical decorations. The reason why X, who had always stayed away from art, spoke up was simple.
Because X was the lord of Xernis.
One of the ways to increase the value of your territory!
‘Basically, there are symbols that have the effect of increasing the reputation of the territory, and furthermore, give useful buffs. So, even if I can only get a few!’
Greed stirs.
Excellent statues and decorations increase the reputation of the territory. Most large cities have decorations that symbolize the city, and there are plenty of users around them to receive buffs.
Burkandal answered.
“Hmm, if you look at it from the eyes of strangers, it must be very messy. “These are just failures lined up outside.”
“A poem is a failure? “This?”
“okay. “Aren’t the veins on your left forearm blurred?”
Hearing Burkandal’s words, X opened his eyes and looked at the statue’s forearm.
Then a really subtle mistake caught my eye. Once again, admiration comes out.
“What level of failure…?”
The more I look at it, the more overwhelming his dexterity becomes!
It is surprising that such detailed expressions are made with a statue that is not even a statue, but it is nothing more than a failure.
X checked the information on the failed project.
-A statue of a dwarf advancing (skilled).
This statue was made with great dexterity. If it had been completed, it might have been treated as a masterpiece that would go down in history.
Special Effect: Increases the reputation of the territory by 500 points.
creation!
The reputation of the territory was increased by a whopping 500 points to match the level.
Burkandal was embarrassed by the failures scattered around the village, but to X, they were like treasures scattered everywhere.
X quickly opened his mouth.
“Anyway, dwarves like making things, but they hate cleaning up. “At some point, I’ll have to grab the blade and push it away.”
“Please leave the handling of failed projects to me, Mr. Burkandal.”
“what? “No, I can’t leave something like that to you.”
I can’t put my benefactor through any more trouble!
Burkandal stubbornly shook his head, but X explained the whole story. He said that these failed works would be of great help to his territory.
Then Burkandal opened his mouth in doubt.
“If that is what you mean, I will ask them.”
“thank you!”
Excited!
My heart began to beat with anticipation. I wanted to spit on statues and statues right away, but I had work to do.
Shouldn’t we inform them of the safe return of Vandam and Pahuren, who had gone missing?
The two men made eye contact and shouted at the same time.
“We are back!”
“This voice…?”
“Wait, isn’t this their voice?!”
The sound of metal stopped and the heated debate also stopped.
The dwarves who flocked to the place where the shout was heard were unable to easily grasp the situation.
This situation felt like a dream. But the two vivid, breathing men were not an illusion.
“Bandam Pahuren! “How did this happen!”
“I received great help from my human friend.”
“It’s also thanks to Burkhandal not forgetting about us.”
A pouring gaze!
X nodded slightly in greeting.
He is a real human. The dwarves who only then discovered X were shocked for a moment. But that only lasted a moment.
As Burkandal began to unravel the tangled story, the dwarves came one by one to thank X.
“X, you have truly accomplished a great feat!”
“At least we won’t be able to forget your name.”
“I never thought the day would come when we would join hands with humans.”
Indeed, the effect of racial intimacy was enormous. The dwarves, who are notorious for their independent and stubborn nature, were welcoming X.
Several dwarves shouted.
“Isn’t beer something that cannot be missed on such a happy day?”
“Haha, we also have something to show off to our human friends!”
“The main characters should sit still and wait.”
X and the three dwarves were forced to sit on the mushroom cushion in the center of the village.
Dwarves bringing out a large wooden barrel! A sweet scent has already begun to tickle my nose.
Be quick to notice when a reward is on the line! X had finished assessing the situation.
‘You have to score points here to be able to sweep properly.’
Brilliant failures!
Even if it’s a failure, there are probably dwarves who made it. Even if Burkandal says it well, if they claim ownership, it’s all nonsense.
X was planning to change the hearts of the other dwarves.
“What are you doing without getting tired?”
“You can’t sit still and leave precious beer behind, right?”
“Then we’re done. “I think I’ll eat like that and then go back in again.”
Sighing, X raised the corner of his mouth.
“Can you really survive without eating?”
It goes perfectly with cold beer. It’s the dish that X is most confident in!
After a while, I took out a large pot and poured oil into it.
Seeing the sizzling oil brings back memories of the past.
X muttered solemnly.
“I’ll return your heart with the forbidden combination of chicken and beer.”
Chicken and beer!
Even in Fate, its destructive power was enormous.
As the fragrant smell began to spread throughout the village, the dwarves reached out for the chicken as if they were possessed.
Since the snacks are so good, I had no choice but to drink beer as well.
The voices of dwarves with tongues curled were heard from all over the place.
“Hehe, I never thought I would have such a great performance.”
“You will never forget today’s dinner, human friend.”
“Long live the chicken.”
Tiroling!
Notification of stat increase.
X was also playing with his mouth and hands without stopping. Since we used up a large amount of the ingredients we had saved, we had to get our money’s worth.
Still, I was watching the timing. Burkhandal, who was not good at drinking, shouted loudly that he would not eat it, but he was already completely drunk.
‘Now would be a perfect time.’
X opened his mouth.
“Anyway, you all seem to be very dexterous. No matter where you look, there are fantastic sculptures and statues. “As a human being, it’s a landscape I can’t even dream of.”
The drunken dwarves waved their hands.
“No, it’s already too early to be surprised. The real thing is different. “Are you saying that the things lying around here are just trash that will have to be disposed of someday?”
“It’s trash. “That is absurd.”
“Wow, you make me feel good when you say even empty words.”
immutable law.
Basically, there was no race that hated praise.
As X continued to float, smiles spread across the dwarves’ faces.
X, who was waiting for an opportunity, subtly drove a wedge.
“If you give me permission, I would like to take all the works here and spread the word about the dexterity of dwarves on the Arba continent.”
Then, one by one, responses started coming.
“…Well, if that’s the case, there’s nothing that can’t be done, right?”
“If I’m going to destroy it for sure, it would be better to leave it to you.”
“You can do whatever you want with them, but please hide whose work it is. “I don’t have the skills to show off to others yet.”
In the end, X succeeded in changing the minds of the dwarves.
Dwarf works that will decorate every corner of Xernis!
It’s hard to count how many there are, spread out all over the place. An uncontrollable laugh escaped from between X’s lips.
“What do you like about smiling like that?”
Burkandal shook his head and stood up. Even if he was weak to alcohol, he had considerable recovery power as the strongest warrior.
After coming to his senses, he patted X on the shoulder when X said that things had gone well.
“You managed to persuade these stubborn people. “Good job.”
“Hehe, I enjoyed some beer.”
“Okay, now that everyone is asleep, shall we take a quick look around?”
Where can I look at a time like this? Burkandal added to X, who tilted his head.
“Of course, isn’t this an abandoned mine that was supposed to be given to you? “I haven’t seen you for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen such anxious eyes.”
An anticipation that even thick iron fatigue cannot hide!
Burkandal headed straight to his mine. Even though a long time has passed since it closed, it seems to remember the location accurately.
Burkandal opened his mouth.
“This place, which is quiet now, was quite crowded in the past.”
“In the past, do you mean a time when we freely interacted with other races on the continent?”
“That’s right. “It’s something I can’t even dream of now.”
At this point, it was natural to be curious.
X asked.
“What led to the conflict between the races? “I think it would have been quite a big incident to divide and protect the border like a sword.”
“Well let me tell you it was both our fault.”
“It’s everyone’s fault….”
“So I guess it’s not a story I can solve alone.”
Burkandal let out a bitter laugh.
It certainly seemed like something had happened on the disconnected continent in the past. Anyway, as he said, I decided to pay no mind to it for now.
‘There’s a lot of work to do right now.’
And isn’t the mine what we need to focus on at this moment?
Before long, an abandoned mineshaft, the entrance of which was blocked by iron bars, came into view.
Chuck Burkandal took out a two-handed ax instead of a key to unlock the lock.
“I didn’t even make a key because I didn’t think I would ever open it again. “Thanks to you, I’ve been able to use a little more energy!”
Kang!
When I swung the ax with all my might, the lock shattered with a loud sound.
In the darkness of the abandoned mineshaft, Burkandal groped the wall. As soon as a clicking sound was heard, the light came on in the abandoned mineshaft.
Now I’m tired of being surprised by technology.
Instead, X came to his senses and opened his eyes wide. Then I was able to find out the identity of the abandoned mine.
“…platinum!”
It’s a platinum mine from the beginning!
When the light comes on, its splendid appearance doubles. Just looking at the platinum mine makes your back feel warm and your stomach full. Unlike X, Burkandal spoke indifferently.
“Hmm, this was a platinum mine. Then let’s move on.”
Such an indifferent reaction further doubled X’s expectations.
Ex swallowed dry saliva and followed Burkandal.
I didn’t forget to turn off the light.
Soon, X came out of the mine and paused for a moment.
“Hello, it’s been a while.”
Because a whisper arrived from him in Dallas.
X’s eyebrows twitched violently as he read the welcome whisper.
Suddenly, an unexpected incident occurred.
X said in a trembling voice.
“…That person is now committing fraud in real time, right?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
