Are the dwarves of this world as you thought?

He is at most as tall as an elementary school student, with a stocky physique and a bushy beard that can be considered his trademark.

It looked like something straight out of the movie The Lord of the Half-X.

It was my first time seeing a different race since I came to this world, so I was surprised for a moment.

I’m still confused as to why this guy is in front of me.

“So, the reason you came to see me is because of the new golem beast that appeared in the comic book?”

“Yes! Didn’t you say in the book that it was a golem beast modified with dwarven vision?”

A golem number that suddenly appeared.

Who would have thought that there would actually be people who would actually believe the excuses they made just to make it look cool?

Moreover, the fact that the target was a dwarf was even more surprising.

“Plus, that glass tube from Snow White! What is the principle?”

“Hmm… That’s right.”

I don’t know either. I’m from the arts and physical education background, not a science major.

“I just drew what came to mind in my imagination. As Mr. Kroon knows, such things do not exist.”

It is obvious that clumsily bringing up modern knowledge and explaining that this will be the case will have the opposite effect.

People say that when they go to another world, they make soap and guns.

All I know is that something like that existed, so even if I pretend to know, I’ll get caught right away.

“Don’t lie! The objects in your comic book were all exquisitely detailed.”

chin!

Kroon took out miscellaneous items from the bag he was carrying and placed them on the table in the living room.

“This?”

“Yes, I made the new golem that you drew in the comic book.”

Hoo. The level of perfection is such that you can’t help but exclaim with admiration.

I am someone who has seen all kinds of works and machines in real life in today’s scientifically advanced world, so although I can draw them realistically, I never imagined that I could actually make them.

This new golem beast that Kroon brought out looked quite good on the outside.

‘Of course, the skills of dwarves are ridiculous to compare with human craftsmen.’

It was understandable that sometimes, on days when dwarven weapons or armor were released in the Empire, all noble families would rush in with all their might.

The craftsmen in our territory are not bad, but if we were asked to make a prototype of the Golem Artificial Arm, we could not have expected this level of quality.

“Did you make this just by looking at the pictures in a simple comic book?”

“Hmph! We dwarves can make things like this with our eyes closed.”

Kroon’s expression suddenly became triumphant at my admiration.

but

“Lie. Krun: To make this, you stayed in the blacksmith shop for several days and never came out, right?”

“Be quiet, Sena! If I say that here… .”

I was even more surprised when Kroon was embarrassed by Senna’s sudden revelation.

I think he probably made it by himself, but it only took a few days?

“Mr. Kroon, I would like to ask you something. Why did the dwarves come to the human empire?”

In response to my question, Kroon cleared his throat a few times, cleared his throat, and gave an overview of the events in the area.

While mining ore in a mine, I was injured and lost consciousness while running away from a monster called a tunnel snake that suddenly appeared.

It is said that Senna was the one who saved Kroon, and after that, he stayed in the human realm while his body recovered, which has continued to this day.

“Wait a minute, so you’re saying this was made at a local blacksmith shop?”

“That’s right.”

I’m going crazy. Isn’t this the same as being selected as a member of the Olympic national team while playing table tennis with slippers?

Even if you call it a blacksmith shop in the local village, it’s barely enough to make agricultural tools. Things like this in a place like that?

I realized how Liu Bei felt when he discovered Zhuge Liang.

If this dwarf named Kroon works in our territory, that is truly over-technology.

Until now, there have been many aspects of book and goods production that have been abandoned due to technological limitations.

If these issues are resolved, we will be able to produce products of even better quality.

“Mr. Kroon, do you know that the number of golems is not exactly the same as the one in my book?”

“That’s it… If only I had more materials or tools!”

“That’s it! I will provide Mr. Kroon with materials, tools, and everything else he needs.”

“What? Is that really true?”

I nodded without hesitation.

There is already a lot of money being made from the children’s book and comic book business. I could give that much support in exchange for getting a dwarven artisan.

“It is enough for you to make the things you want to make like now and do what I ask and help the craftsmen in our territory with their work.”

“But… .”

Kroon looked happy at my words. But his expression quickly darkened again.

His gaze was directed towards the girl sitting next to him, Sena.

“I’m okay, Croon! This is a great opportunity.”

Despite Senna’s words, Kroon’s stern expression showed no signs of loosening.

“Is there anything bothering you?”

“No! I’ll be better. Please take Kroon with you and let him do whatever he wants.”

Before Kroon can respond, Senna intervenes and begs to be taken instead.

“No. I can’t leave.”

“Crun!”

“Sena, what are you going to do if I leave now?”

“That’s… .”

Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems like there is something going on that I don’t know about.

“Miss Sena, can you play with my little sister for a while?”

“Yes? Am I with you?”

“Okay, I’ll ask you a favor.”

In response to my words, Sena asked me to please stop asking and immediately followed Alain to Ada’s room.

“What’s going on?”

Finally, Kroon was alone in the living room, and only then did Kroon open his mouth.

“The problem was that I made and sold things at a blacksmith shop to raise money for travel expenses to come here.”

Kroon’s story continued as follows.

Kroon needed money to use the Magic Tower’s transmission line because it was too far to walk from the west to the south.

The only thing he could do was blacksmithing, so he made things and sold them, but that became a problem.

No matter how poor the materials and tools were used, the quality was so excellent that it could not be compared to anything made by humans, and in a short period of time, the rumor spread throughout the territory.

It is said that even the lord of the place was interested.

Fortunately, it was not revealed that he was a dwarf, but the story had spread that the lord would be looking for the craftsman who made the item.

He said that he was worried that if he did not return, the village blacksmith who had lent the blacksmith shop and Sena’s family would have trouble with the lord.

“This might be simpler than you think.”

“What? Is there a solution?”

“Are Sena’s family free people?”

“If you are a free citizen… .”

“I’ll have to ask Sena directly about this.”

I told the maid outside to call Senna again.

Then, did you wait for a while?

A crying sound was heard from afar.

“No!! Lady!!!”

“No lady! Call me Ada Patrasche!”

A familiar voice coming from outside. I’m worried for some reason.

I hurriedly opened the door to the living room and looked towards where the sound came from.

And there, I saw a Patrasche riding with Senna in a cart specially designed for Ada, which the craftsmen had made as a toy.

***

“I’m sorry, Nauri. Please just save me.”

There was a contrast between Sena, who was crying in tears in front of me, and Ada, who had stopped running and was full of dissatisfaction.

I took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears streaming down Sena’s cheeks while she was crying.

“It’s not your fault. How can you stop Ada from being stubborn?”

It was obvious that Ada, who was obsessed with Patrasche these days, would have driven Senna on a whim.

Of course, there are many noble families that would punish a daughter just for having her pull a cart.

At least in our family, not only my father but also the servants of the family have no one to criticize about it.

“Really… Are you okay?”

“Then of course.”

When Sena finally stopped crying because of my words, I gave Ada, who was standing proudly next to her, as if I had comforted her, and lightly hit her with a honey chestnut.

“Ang! Don’t bother Ada!”

Ada holds her head and pretends to be in pain.

I didn’t hit him too hard, but it seems like his acting skills are only improving.

“Ada, it’s hard for Sena if you act so unruly, but will you continue to do so?”

“No, Ada Sena won’t suffer!”

He was startled by my words and ran to Sena, stretched out his arms and tried to pat Sena’s back, but unfortunately, Sena was bigger and it seemed like he was just struggling.

When I saw that, I couldn’t help but laugh.

However, I had to confirm an important fact from now on, so I stopped laughing and asked Sena directly.

“Sena, I have a question for you. Are you from a free family?”

“Yes, our family does not sharecrop on the lord’s land, but my father works as a day laborer.”

thank god.

Youngjimin is largely divided into two categories.

Freemen and tenants directly under the lord.

Tenants are not only those who simply farm on the lord’s land, but also include hunters, woodcutters, and gatherers who hunt on the estate.

Since these territory residents had no freedom before residence, they had to be born in the territory and die in the territory for their entire lives.

On the other hand, free people are divided into those who live on their own land or those who work as day laborers like Sena’s father.

These were people who only had to pay taxes to the territory and were free to move their residence as much as they wanted.

“Listen, Sena, I want to bring you and your family to my estate. What do you think?”

“Here?”

“Yes, Sena’s father will probably work at our book factory, and Kroon will also work at our estate.”

“Good! I definitely like it!”

When I looked back at Kroon, who followed me in response to Sena’s positive answer, he responded with a bright smile.

“Thank you! We dwarves never forget grace!!!”

That’s how I happened to recruit a dwarven craftsman.
