Chapter 210 – A Place to Return (10)

“He really looks after everyone who comes here.”

“What a blessing. Even if it is a world infested with terrible monsters, not everyone will leave this place.”

“Yes, I guess. Me too But now I can’t help it.”

A residence of mixed-race beastmen that became a landmark in an instant. The stone statue, which towers higher than the surrounding trees, has become a great landmark that can be seen from a distance without having to go close.

The dwarves Naria and Liam also came all the way to see it when they had free time. In particular, Liam, who was an artisan, was deeply inspired by that elaborate statue, which he did not know how he made.

“I heard you were going outside.”

“What, how do you know I am here?”

It was then that Ren, who had followed them, approached them. Naria asked, surprised when her Ren came to find out where she was. Because she didn’t tell me that she was leaving Eden anytime soon.

“Because Mr. Luke knew.”

“Your mouth is quite light.”

When Ren replied that he had heard from another dwarf, Naria sighed. Like Ren, Luke is one of the Dwarven warriors being trained by Naria. Perhaps because she hadn’t told her not to, Luke kept telling her where she was going.

“It’s nothing serious. The time I promised with her father is up, so I’m just going to pay the balance.”

“Is he…Impossible to convince?”

“I’m sure your father will be moved when he sees this for himself.”

When Naria laughed bitterly and mentioned the story of her father, Ren noticed. However, she did not deny Ren’s words.

Having lived in Eden and witnessed the miracle with her own eyes, she is sure that even if it is slightly different from her father’s ideal, some dwarves will be amazed at how they have developed their own strengths and grown into a strong pillar of this world. There was.

“But the process of bringing my father here won’t be easy. The distance is too far to bring the villagers. For now, I just have to be content with it.”

As she promised, Naria planned to hand over the aluminum ingots she had left behind to her father the last time she left.

The father who received the ingots will not urge the residents, and the district will naturally be able to maintain peace.

“If you need help, I will go with you.”

“After going through the battlefield, your eyes gradually change. But she doesn’t need any help this time she’s only going quickly. I will be back soon.”

Ren said he would follow her, her teacher, but Naria, knowing that he had recently returned to her, smiled at her and shook her head. From her point of view, Ren’s growth was fast. As much as she grew fast, she also knew that when she rested, she needed to rest.

“Are you still going to try persuasion?”

“Did the news of the elves’ victory reach your father’s ears? If they did, we could persuade them by saying that we contributed to the victory as well.”

Naria, who broke up with Ren, organized her belongings for the last time. Liam noticed her sleight of hand when she saw her pack. She actually wants to bring her own father and her villagers back to her Eden.

Her father is a rich and strong soldier of the Dwarf Kingdom and a man who dreams of spreading that power to the continent. That’s why he is loyal to the Dwarf King, who is only crazy about military power, but conversely, if he fills that part, he could be persuaded.

“The elves resolved their conflict and became one with over 100,000 comrades in the Great Forest. I hope we Dwarves will be able to do that by increasing the number of comrades one by one.”

“Me too.”

Naria, having packed all her belongings, smiled faintly and climbed the fairy ant, which now rides as well as the elves.

On the way home. But unlike before, my heart is a little lighter. Because there was a place I could return to anytime, where blessings and blessings were with me.

“Be careful. Recently, the Kingdom’s search party has been wandering around this area in groups. Goat cavalry don’t go well through rough and dense forests where their horns can get caught, so go that way.”

“Thank you for your concern. But a little bit of a search party like that is no big deal.”

Naria, who came out of the passage leading to the north through the den of fairy ants, met with the dwarf special operations team that strictly managed the place, and finally set foot in her homeland, the Great Northern Mountains.

‘The day is cold. Winter is slowly coming.’

Putting on a coat, she quickly disappeared into the forest with the fairy ants. The cold wind that was already felt was an indicator that the familiar winter was coming in the north.

“Look at this. Have you ever seen acid silver of such pure and high quality? Everyone in charge of appraisal looks surprised, but you should have seen it yourself.”

“If the values you are talking about are true, that would be great.”

“A district manager in a remote area is not something to be found. There must be something.”

The office where you can hear the sound of the crackling fireplace. He passed the silver metal ingot in his hand to his superior and continued his words with a serious face.

The aluminum ingot that is bigger than the palm of your hand is from Eden. I Leah’s father received it from Na Leah and gave it as her tax.

“You look really precious.”

It’s just a plain ingot without any engravings, but any decent dwarf knows its value. Even if he is holding this now and is one of the seven ministers who assist the Dwarf king right next to him, and is the high lord who manages all the northwest districts of the kingdom, it is such a precious item that he cannot carelessly handle it.

Popular with all races that value precious metals, aluminum is valued here more than a magic stone of the same weight.

A district manager in a remote area with low productivity had obtained several such items and paid them as taxes.

“Should I interrogate you? It is clear that there is some kind of transaction. Or the pure mountain that comes down to legend is a mine.”

“Should I do that? I know it will look strange, but I don’t think there’s any need to doubt its loyalty when you see that you gave it all as soon as you got it.”

Nofen, an aide and craftsman-turned-dwarf who came looking for him, insisted on questioning the district manager who gave these aluminum ingots, but he didn’t think much of it.

“Well, then you should at least know the source. Whether you mine it yourself or get it through a trader, it must be used for the whole kingdom and for the king!”

Nopen insisted on knowing the source to convince him. Through the window, I could see a huge statue of the Dwarf King being made by numerous artisans.

“That’s not wrong. Did you ever find out?”

In the end, he accepted Nofen’s offer. It was that evening that Nopen immediately sent a telegram and instructed them to find out the source of aluminum.

And it was two days later that I heard the answer.

“I can’t reveal the source, but I will pay taxes as soon as I get it in the future? This is a ridiculous answer!”

After receiving the reply, Nofen became enraged and went to see his superior again.

Naria’s father, who liked to contribute to the country by donating good things, was very embarrassed when asked about the source, and finally refused to answer. It was a choice he made to protect his daughter, Naria.

He never dreamed that the king and kingdom would betray him for all his allegiance, but the unified kingdom of dwarves was too large for the king of dwarves to handle everything. If there was a person who wanted to cover his eyes among the servants next to the king as well as those under his command, these trivial matters could be sufficiently covered.

“We need to catch him right away. We need to find out what kind of trick he did and whether there was any corruption in the process.”

“You are overzealous. Do it anyway. Because the news coming from the Central Continent is so urgent that my head is about to break. The elves of the Great Grove captured a human kingdom? What is this…”

The superior, who was preoccupied elsewhere, waved his hand at Nofen’s argument and told him to take care of himself and forced him to withdraw.

For Nofen, now that the upper management’s attention was focused on the war the elves started, it was a kind of opportunity.

‘How much would it be if I stole just one ingot, melted it down, and sold it?’

With a smirk, he took the order issued by his superior, delegating full power, and quickly moved on.

The reason why Nofen expanded his gear by clinging to seemingly trivial tasks was purely his own greed.

“This is the order of the Minister of Home Affairs. The internal search team needs to move with me right now.”

Nofen moved some of his troops using orders. And he went directly to the frontier with them. This is what happened when Naria left Eden.
