The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

81 – 078.Your village is doomed!-3

“Sorry, sorry… !”

“It’s okay. This level can be restored quickly.”

A village of dwarves that faced disaster with the ceiling collapsing.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the entire village facilities were damaged.

Of course we were responsible for that, but strangely, he was obedient.

Unlike the first time when he was anxious about not being able to kick me out, he was overly humble.

“The taste of power, it seems to say something like this.”

“Don’t get used to the taste. After Kang Jun-hyeok became king, he became a person who didn’t care.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. The power doesn’t belong to me…….”

Because it belongs to the light dragon Breeze.

Becoming Renee’s wife did not make me great.

He’s just wearing the name tag of Gwangryong’s son-in-law.

There was absolutely no way that Gwangryong’s feat would become mine.

“Anyway, I’m glad things went smoothly.”

“Does this look smooth in your eyes?”

A village that was horribly ruined.

I feel sorry for you, but what can I do?

It’s the dwarves who built the village underground to avoid being seen by other races.

‘If I had imagined and prepared for the collapse accident, this wouldn’t have happened.’

[If I made the ground with mithril, I tend to prepare well enough. It’s just that Rene is ignorantly heavy…….]

René looked at me with bloody open eyes before Frach’s words could be delivered.

My whole body stiffened at the pupils of the sharp-edged dragon.

I didn’t do anything wrong.

Moreover, only Prach’s words should be heard by me.

Still, I got goosebumps from Rene’s reaction.

“Why, why?”

“Nothing. I must have been mistaken.”

“Yes… ….”

While wiping the cold sweat from the nape of my neck, I shouted bitterly at Prach.

‘Take care of your words. Didn’t you know that weight is a big deal for women?’

[Sorry. I never thought that Rene would react to my words.]

It means that Renee is not the meek and meek person.

After reuniting with Breeze, his attachment to me strangely increased.

If the dwarven village had landed slowly, nothing would have happened.

Even so, she hurried down as if she was being chased by something.

Did something go wrong?

“Mr Bern.”

The time when I was worried and questioned Renee’s behavior.

A dwarf with a prosthetic leg approached from behind me.

Judging from the fact that her hair and beard are dyed pure white, she seems to be the elder of this village.

“Did you call?”

“We, the Dwarves, made the mistake of uttering abusive words without knowing that Bern was an acquaintance of Gwangryong. I’m really sorry.”

“Oh, that’s fine. To put it bluntly, this side caused a nuisance first.”

“Even so, we have betrayed the grace of Gwangryong-nim, who has protected the dwarves for hundreds of years. I will be happy to receive any kind of punishment, so I would be grateful if you just say the word.”

“Even if it’s punishment, heaven won’t let me go if I do harm to the teachers at the point where the village is destroyed.”

“Mr. Bern was a generous person. We are truly ashamed of our actions when we threatened them without even knowing that.”

“I’m really okay, so please keep your head up.”

We were being apologized for destroying their residence.

It was strangely uncomfortable rather than pleasant.

“This is not the time to be apologizing. Shouldn’t you hurry up and restore the village?”

“You are right. Still, this amount of damage is fine.”

“Yes? Why?”

From noble mtl dot com

Not a single building seems to be in good shape, so what’s good about it?

For humans, it would take at least a month to restore the current village.

“If our Majesty the King will take care of it, it will be back to normal in four days.”

“Are you saying that a ruined village can be repaired in such a short time?”

“Yes, the story is quite possible if it is your Majesty. It is because it is safe to say that his skills have already reached the realm of gods.”

“Awesome….”

[Cancer! For the father of this body, fixing the village is nothing.]

I remembered the proverb that bears do tricks and people get money.

Similarly, the king of the dwarves made achievements, so why did Prach feel like he was being praised.

“By the way, where is the King?”

“Today, His Majesty the King has gone to the underground mine to direct the miners on-site. He thinks he’ll be back soon, but…….”

It was a story I had heard somewhere before.

Unsurprisingly, not only me but also Leuwen’s expression became angry.

Anxiety arose that a disappearance might have occurred.

“Does the King often go to the underground mines?”

“Yes? Well, you should see that. He’s a fan of original ores, so he prefers mines to palaces.”

“I see.”

The King of Dwarves often visits underground mines.

Because of this, it was still too early to be sure that he was missing.

“Anyway, Your Majesty is very late today.”

“Looks like you found a rare mineral somewhere.”

“Well, you came back late last time because of that. But I mean…….”

“What else is going on?”

“Even so, Alfred, do you know why this man is not coming back? You promised to drink big with me today.”

“Come to think of it, the miners who normally should have returned are not coming back. Is His Majesty holding it?”

I was convinced.

A disappearance case in which even the king of the dwarves and the miner disappear.

That the incident occurred today.

I slapped my forehead and rubbed her eyes with the palm of my hand.

“What, is there a problem?!”

“Problem… ….”

There were too many problems.

The collapsed village, the disappearance of the dwarf king, and the dwarves unaware that their leader is in danger.

A series of situations that were difficult to solve lightly caused a headache.

Still, what I had to do was decided.

“It reminds me of something I forgot for a while, so don’t worry about it.”

“I see.”

“Rather than that, could you tell me where the underground mine is located, if you don’t mind?”

Rescue the Dwarf King before it completely disappears.

That was the best I could do now.

[That’s it! Hurry up and rescue your father-in-law, Contractor!]

Who is the father-in-law?

***

“This is the pride and attraction of our dwarves, Baldur Mine.”

Guided by a dwarf who is knowledgeable in geography, we arrived at the entrance to the underground mine.

Unlike the mines in Lookbranton, it was a tunnel-type entrance.

If you listen to the story, it is said that the inside of the mine is a whirlpool-type structure, and you can go down into the ground as you move forward.

In other words, you can reach the depths just by proceeding without having to go around here and there cumbersomely.

When I questioned the unique structure, I heard the answer that the structure of a natural cave has been like that since the beginning of time.

“We just continued mining while maintaining the shape of the cave.”

“It’s amazing.”

“It is a mystery of nature.”

After hearing the dwarf’s explanation.

As I sent him back, I asked the villagers to stay away from the mine for a while.

At this, the Dwarf was confused but said he would understand without asking why.

I want to tell you the circumstances, but I don’t know what the situation inside the mine is like.

I had no choice but to act calmly as if nothing had happened.

“Then shall we go?”

“Wait a minute!”

“Huh? What’s going on?”

The moment I was about to enter the mine.

Renee urgently stopped me by grabbing my arm.

Her pupils were shaking back and forth, and she was lost in her direction.

I don’t know why, but the restlessness seemed very dangerous.

“Well, do I have to go in there?”

“Why?”

“That… ….”

Rene’s lips opened, then closed again.

Is this why it’s hard to talk about?

Originally, I wanted to call her separately and ask her, but I didn’t have time right now.

It would be disappointing if the King of Dwarves completely disappeared while you were wandering around.

What if the rescue of the king fails at the point where the dwarves are suspicious?

There was a possibility that they would mistake us for kidnappers.

However, there was no clear reason to inform the dwarves in Dajjagojja Village that the king had been kidnapped.

That’s why I chose to go quietly and rescue them.

“I’ll tell you the story later.”

“Oh… !”

As I turned my back, Renée’s moans filled with regret came from behind.

Ignoring it, I entered the mine, followed by Rin and Renee.

Renée still had a disapproving expression on her face.

Are there any bad memories in the Baldur Mine?

“Rene, if you feel tired, you can go back to the village. Rin and I will check the mine’s internal conditions and come back.”

“Gwa, it’s okay! I’m fine…….”

Rene starts muttering something weakly again.

Today, her behavior was strangely strange.

I was worried for nothing. Should I stop exploring for a moment and seriously listen to Renee’s story?

Around the time when I felt that way.

Lynn opened her mouth and spoke softly.

“Sir, I can feel the dwarven mana within a radius of 500 meters.”

I encountered a dwarf less than 5 minutes after entering the mine.

I wondered if the disappearance case was just my fault.

But she changed her mind when she saw Rin put her hand on the scabbard and put her guard up.

“I think you should be careful. Dwarves’ mana is mixed with foreign mana.”

“Alien mana?”

“Yes. It is enough mana to give you goosebumps just to detect it.”

“Is it dark magic?”

“No. It is completely different from the mana used in black magic. If the original mana was dissolved in the air as a gas, this mana is a liquid, a form that has never been seen before.”

I also carefully drew out my sword.

Even Rin, who was blessed with mana, could not be considered ordinary if she could not know.

That moment when she gulped down her saliva while staring straight ahead.

At a distance, the dwarf Rin mentioned appeared.

“Pickaxe…… !”

A dwarf covered in black liquid like a mask.

Eyes were wide open, but his pupils were unfocused.

Even though he was unconscious, the dwarf’s body was still walking around.

“Pickaxe… !”

Something that was a dwarf who was referring to pickaxes earlier.

Are you asking for a pickaxe?

As she was contemplating what to do, she raised an urgent voice to see if Rin realized something about her.

“Sir! I found where the alien source of mana came from!”

“Where is it?”

“Right there!”

The place where Rin’s fingertips were pointing was where the dwarf was standing.

“Ummm… ? Are you saying there is a culprit under the ground?”

“No! Please look up a little more!”

I raised my head.

It was only then that I realized that something sticking out between the dwarf’s crotch was shaking little by little.

As I looked more closely, even frowning, I was able to confirm its identity.

“Oh my God… ….”

There was a pickaxe between the dwarf’s crotch.
