Dain looks at me, flustered.
“Then, should I pretend to go? I even showed you the holy sword, so guide me quickly.”
This bastard, after I showed them the holy sword they wanted to see, now he’s saying, “Are you really going to go?” Seriously.
I’m about to just kill him.
As I scowl at him, Dain hurriedly opens his mouth.
“I, I was blinded by the holy sword for a moment and just blurted out anything! The dwarves’ underground city is a secret of the dwarves that should never be revealed to outsiders! If I take an outsider to the underground city, I’ll really die!!”
“Don’t worry. You’ll die even if I don’t take you.”
Whether you die to the , or get beat to death by me…
Which one will be faster? If I had to guess, I have a feeling getting beat to death by me would be faster.
As I lightly loosen my hands and stare at Dain, his face turns pale and he moves away from me.
“Let’s guide me when I’m asking nicely. Unless you want to go home as a half-corpse.”
“Ugh…”
“Or should we just die now?”
“Ugh…”
Dain, after much deliberation, exchanges glances with the other dwarves.
Whether it’s a simple exchange of opinions or… some pointless trickery…. It won’t take long for it to become clear.
Having exchanged all their opinions, Dain suddenly stood up.
“I need to go to the bathroom…”
“Go ahead.”
As I wave my hand dismissively, Dain glances at me and leaves the room.
“Um… I need to go to the bathroom too…”
“Me too…”
“Alright. Go ahead. Oh, but Levia is showering on the 4th floor, so if you go there, you’ll really die.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Like that, one by one, the dwarves left the room.
Eventually, all six dwarves left, saying they were going to the bathroom….
“Seol-lin.”
“Yeah.”
“The setup?”
“Of course, it’s already done.”
Then it’ll be soon.
One, two….
“Three.”
“Kkyaaaaak~!!”
The dwarves’ screams.
I slowly got up from my seat and headed to the building entrance with Baek-ryeon, Seol-lin, and Lucy.
As expected, the dwarves were scrambling to pack their things and run away, but they were caught in the poison trap that Seol-lin had set up and were crawling on the floor.
“Is it poisonous?”
“No. It just paralyzes them temporarily.”
“That’s right. You should be glad. This girl is a poison specialist. You guys would have died if you messed up.”
“Kkeueueueueu…”
While Seol-lin prepared the antidote, Lucy slowly approached the dwarves, wearing a rather cold smile, and said.
“To dare repay the Warrior’s mercy with escape… I knew dwarves were no good. Should I just kill them like this?”
“You’re a nun. You little rascal…”
I casually threw a word at Lucy, who was flashing her red eyes at me.
“You’ve really made a bad choice, Dain.”
“Hiiiik…”
“Hey, Dain. Shall we make a bet? Until we find the underground city, would you rather be in Lucy’s shadow world? Or would you rather guide us yourself?”
“Ah, I’ll guide you!!”
Indeed, dialogue is a good culture.
If you try to have a conversation with all your heart, they’ll understand you anyway, right?
Hahaha.
* * *
The entrance to the dwarves’ underground city was closer than I thought. The entrance looked like just a small cave, but it was cleverly hidden in the surrounding structure, so it would be difficult for anyone to find it unless they knew its location.
“By the way, it looks a little small for us to enter?”
“Yeah, can’t you widen it more?”
“Widening it itself is possible. But if we widen it one by one, we’d have to widen the path to the large cave as well, and the cave itself might collapse in the process of widening it. Just bear with it and somehow get in.”
That’s true.
After we were convinced, we started crawling into the narrow cave.
“This is called the . It’s a passage to get to the surface. If you just go to the , it’ll be very wide, so it’ll be easy for you guys to move around.”
The dwarf ahead, Dain, said that as he went ahead.
Small cave, large cave…. In terms of roads, is it like a narrow national road and a wide 8-lane highway?
“Ugh…”
“Ugh, I can’t understand dwarves at all. Why would you go into this kind of underground?”
“Ugyuuuut…”
And behind me were the Baek-ryeon trio, diligently following.
The cave is so narrow that I can’t turn around, so I can’t know the exact situation, but I can still tell that they’re having a hard time keeping up.
“M-my chest…. is rubbing a bit…”
“M-me too…”
“…”
I heard Baek-ryeon and Levia muttering like that.
At the same time as the two’s words, I could also feel Seol-lin’s deep silence, mixed with displeasure and jealousy.
Actually, Seol-lin’s chest isn’t that small either… But Baek-ryeon and Levia’s chests are so overwhelmingly large that Seol-lin has become relatively flat-chested, and I feel a chill from her sadness.
“By the way, when do we arrive at the large cave?”
“We’ll be there soon, so don’t be impatient.”
I had a strong feeling that if I paid more attention to the back, I would get caught up in something unusual.
So, I asked Dain, who was walking ahead, about the remaining distance to the large cave, but like parents answering the question of when we will arrive on the holidays, he just repeated the same words and walked forward.
What can I do when the person who knows the way is like that? I just have to chase after him diligently.
After crawling through the cave for another 10 minutes with Dain’s guidance, we were finally able to escape the small cave.
“Aigo, my whole body aches…”
“Hehe. Of course, it would, after crawling through that narrow place.”
As Dain said, my whole body is stiff from crawling through the narrow cave for about 20-30 minutes.
Baek-ryeon seems to be the same, as she stretched greatly as soon as she came out of the large cave and shook her body.
In addition, Baek-ryeon’s Hanbok, which was close to white, became quite dirty with mud.
“Y-Warrior-nim…”
“Levia? What’s wrong… Puuup!…”
When I turned my gaze to Levia’s voice calling me, Levia’s chest got caught and she was stuck in the exit.
After checking Levia’s voluptuous chest, which was distorted strangely according to the shape of the exit, I immediately kicked Dain’s face and blew him away, then dug out and widened the exit with Baek-ryeon.
Only then was Levia able to escape.
In addition, Seol-lin, who was coming from behind Levia, came out lightly with an uneasy look and casually threw a word at me.
“Levia is weird.”
“Yeah…”
“Oh my, have we arrived?”
And Lucy, who had been sucking honey in my shadow, popped out of my shadow and stood next to me.
Anyway, after completing all the preparations, I was finally able to look at the dwarves’ .
As Dain said, the large cave was very wide compared to the narrow cave, which was so narrow that it was difficult to move around.
In terms of size, it’s almost like a tunnel.
Not only that, but there were glowing stones placed at regular intervals, so even if the inside wasn’t bright, I could still see the front to some extent.
“So? Where do we have to go?”
“It’s this way.”
We moved together, following the direction Dain pointed.
Now that I think about it, the other dwarves besides Dain remained in the orc territory to develop the orc’s domain.
One guide is enough anyway, and their purpose was to be a preliminary team to investigate and mine the underground resources in the orcs’ land.
“By the way, I understand that contaminated minerals came out of the dwarves’ land, so you have to find another place. But why the orc territory?”
“Because orcs are stupid and don’t mine minerals. Many valuable minerals and basic minerals come out.”
“High Orcs know how to refine to some extent, right?”
“Ha! What those idiots do is not even children’s play!”
Dain snorted at my question and shouted.
Is it because he’s a dwarf? He’s overflowing with confidence in his craftsmanship.
“Besides, the elves’ land can’t be dug in the first place. It takes a lot of effort to dig.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Why else? The area where the elves live is a forest full of trees. Especially the trees are bigger than other trees, and their roots spread deeply. Even if you try to dig a tunnel, it’s blocked by the roots of the trees.”
“Ah…”
While we were talking about this and that.
Something could be seen in the distance. Something like a cart. It wasn’t difficult to understand what it was for.
“Is that the mine car?”
“That’s right. It’s the mine car that connects to the underground satellite city. We came here laying the rails of the mine car.”
“Hmm…”
So that’s why it took so long?
They dug the ground and laid the rails, so when we came to the orc territory, the dwarves were just exploring the orc territory.
But in this situation, it’s good. There’s no need to walk unnecessarily, we can just take the mine car and move quickly.
“Then, if we ride that, can we go straight to the World Tree?”
“How did you listen to the story earlier? The elves’ territory is difficult to make underground tunnels because of tree roots. You can only go to the front of the elves’ territory by mine car. You can’t go any further than that. And as I said before, this rail is connected to the satellite city.”
How annoying….
But I understood what he was saying.
“Then let’s go.”
“Haaaa…”
