Running Away From The Hero!

# 3 Their Reason: What kind of Dwarf Reason

This place was hell.

“Move quickly! ”

“You haven't fulfilled your quota yet! ”

“Slow! We still have a lot of work to do! ”

There are nasty voices protruding from everywhere.

This was just the usual routine.

It was the blacksmith's job to risk his life for one mistake.

Every time I worked, I had to be careful, and it was everyday to take all kinds of insults for one mistake.

But what we were doing now was not being blacksmiths.

“Move the bricks quickly! ”

It was a job as a laborer.

“Joe, take a little break.... ”

“I've been working for five hours now, Joe. ”

“Ahhh! I wonder if I can say that in front of the iron bars! ”

“Aah!”

“I'll work! I'll work now!" ”

Dwarves carrying rocks screaming.

It was unfamiliar, but not completely unfamiliar.

The Dwarves are talented not only in weapons but also in architecture.

Occasionally, it was not a routine thing to build, but it was not the first time I had experienced, because I was asked by the empire and the kingdom to interact to build various facilities.

But there's only one reason to call this place hell.

“Break! Dinner time! ”

“D-finally…. ”

“You should eat as slowly as possible. ”

“Slow as you can, save as much time as you can. ”

It was because there were Dwarves with tears of joy in their words, "Lunchtime."

“I want a cold beer. ”

“Me too……. ”

“When does the job end? ”

“I don't know……. At this rate, it won't take long, but.... ”

“We can do other things after the Wall is finished. ”

“I hear the hammer never ends, does it? ”

“I heard the same goes for building walls. I heard you're drawing magic on every single brick. ”

“One at a time? Are you crazy? ”

“The opponent is Hectare. It's possible enough. ”

“Damn……! ”

This sounds crazy, but Hectare is enough.

The Elders listened to Hector's request for this madness in the first place.

Of course, I couldn't blame the elders.

We were the ones who abandoned the elders, and Hector threatened us for it.

If he threatened the iron separately, he would have no choice.

So all of this was because of the evil hand of Hector.

If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had to do this shit!

“Are you all working hard? ”

“Welcome, Elder Honor! ”

At that moment, my whole body was creeped out by the words I heard behind my back.

Hectare looks at us as very satisfied as we stand up, putting down our reflexively eaten foods.

“Hard work and eating is the best. Isn't that right?"

“Yes!”

“Excellent!”

“I've never had such a delicious meal! ”

Hectare nods satisfactorily as we answer with a wide smile.

“It's a good heart. With that in mind, quickly complete the wall. This is for the world. ”

“I understand!”

“Here's to the world! ”

“Three, for the world! ”

“For the world! ”

Hectare taps our backs twice and moves to the other dwarves.

“Ahh... ”

“I thought I was going to die.... ”

I still felt like I was getting chicken fat all over me.

“Bar, let's just eat. ”

“Yes."

We can't complain about Hectare because there's still one nearby.

He was the honorary Dwarf Elder and Master of Iron Pavement.

The elders are the only Dwarves who can face him in his position, and there are no Dwarves who can face him with force.

As an ordinary dwarf who lacked position and strength, he was not capable of winning.

“But once this wall is completed... we can be set free, right? ”

I've only been on the job a week.

It is a short time, but the walls of the monasteries of the small kingdom are already piled high.

But Hectare was not satisfied.

Bigger, thicker.

Hectare was trying to build the continent, or the largest barrier in the world, in a Dwarf village that had not even built a fence.

“No matter how hard you try to fight the Demon King... I think this is too much..." ”

The Demon King, who wants to destroy the world according to the will of the Evil God, is only born in the human body.

Some dragons claimed that the Demon King could not appear if they were extinct because they were the most evil creatures. The Demon King and the Evil God were the object of the horror of everyone in the world.

It was because when I became the Demon King, I gained the power to transcend man by the power of evil gods and the power to control the forces of evil gods.

An unknown strength.

The Demon King had such power.

Therefore, it must be right to be careful and careful.

But... it was clear that the Demon King's body was a human body.

You don't have wings, you don't have a few hundred meters tall. Why do you have to build walls this high?

It would be natural to have such questions.

“This is my guess... …. ”

“What?”

First, he looks carefully at the presence of Hectare around him, confirming his absence, and then gives his opinion in a very small voice.

“From what I understand, Hectare was photographed by the Empire Empress. ”

“Empire princess? ”

“Isn't she intimate with Hectare? ”

“I don't know. Hectare could have been a wreck. ”

“Haha……. Hectare's got a piece of metal. Even if we are close, the princess could try to kill Hector. ”

“Hectare did hectare. ”

It was a moment when my head nodded naturally.

Even the priests of the god of peace will lose their minds at the exact moment of their defeat.

I can be sure.

Even if the empire princess, called the Iron Blood Monarch, is as cold as someone with the blood of steel.

No, even if you have blood made of mystical metal called Miracle Metal beyond steel!

He'll lose his mind and try to kill the guy who hit him.

“No way... Are you trying to stop the Empire army from here!?" ”

“Yes. Hectare isn't the only one who thinks about the Demon King. He's an evil handed hectare. There's no reason for an evil creature like him to fight the Demon King. ”

“Well……. ”

“Hetareni has more evil spirits than the Demon King……. ”

“There's no reason for similar beings to fight. ”

Everyone nods at Februs' words. It was convincing enough.

“You'll block the Demon King's attack with the Wall and watch the Demon King and the others fight outside. ”

“Hectare would drink a cold beer watching the fierce battles of the Demon King and the Warriors. ”

“Is that all? Perhaps he will wager against the Demon King and his warriors. ”

“No. Hectare is more of a gambler than a gambler, and he only takes money for commission. ”

“I see. Hectare was closer to you. ”

“Hectare didn't like gambling, though. I keep telling myself it's stupid to bet on the odds of not being sure. ”

Hectare was like that.

Who doesn't care if he or she is not included in even the most serious things.

He would give up the possibility of getting 10 at any time if there was even a possibility of 1 being a risk to himself even if he could get 10 through the effort of 1.

“In any case, Hectare might be thinking about since he fought the Demon King. ”

Februs says we pause for a moment and think.

It was definitely a persuasive word.

However,

“Food?”

“Support?”

“I can't live here without selling tools. ”

There was only one reason we sold weapons and other magic tools to humans.

It was for survival.

The area was mostly agriculturally unavailable, with mountains, but only half of them had access to sugarcane, so there was a limit to self-sufficiency in the mountains.

And most importantly, the Dwarves were not the ones who enjoyed farming or hunting in the first place.

They wanted to beat a little bit more iron and hone their skills.

That's why I was selling some of the products I made periodically to reliable humans, and in return I was supported by living supplies, including food.

“It's not like there's no way to survive without human support, right? ”

Februs argued with me.

“Yes. We cannot rely on humans. ”

Obviously, as Februs said, we were already prepared for how to live in a situation without human support.

It is because the moment we rely on humans completely, greedy humans will clearly threaten us with food in order to create a stronger weapon.

“However, we did not anticipate a way for the Imperial Army to survive while surrounding the walls. ”

If that had been the case in the first place, the whole clan would have fought and died.

Sometimes greedy Humans threatened us, but our ancestors risked their lives to protect our technology.

But this time it's different.

Humans that the Empire wants are evil handed hectares.

We were just building a wall of metal against him.

“Th-that's... ”

“The supplies run dry and die trapped in the walls. This kind of thing is more human than we are. ”

“That's right."

“Does Hectare not know that? The opponent is an evil touch. ”

A symbol of evil.

Hectare did not seem to have made such a mistake, perhaps more sinister than an evil god.

“Rather, they could be planning something for it. ”

Hectare, an evil hand, could be up to something.

“Or maybe it has nothing to do with the Empire at all. ”

“Is that so…? ”

Februs nods with a slightly blurry face. It was because it was wrong to think hard and say it.

“But that was a good point. ”

The more information you have about Hectare, the better.

It was because our Dwarf fugitive alliance was all precious, even a little bit more.

“Dinner time is over! ”

After a while, I heard a voice saying that the meal time was over.

“Meal time? ”

“Is that what happened? ”

As you tilt your head to see more than half of the meal, the dwarves who had already surrendered to the Iron Pawl shouted in a loud voice.

“With the slow progress of the work, I decided to finish my meal in 20 minutes. ”

“Well, I can't.... ”

The meal time that gave us at least 40 minutes and at most an hour is over.

Half of the time we can rest has been reduced by a third.

“Oh my... ”

“Those who fail to keep their meal time will meet with the honorary Elder Hectare, Iron Paw! ”

Hectares, and iron bars.

Interviewing with the combination is unlikely.

It must have been a terrible... painful interview to imprint on the soul.

“Today I will give you the chance to finish your meal for one minute at the mercy of the honorable Elder Hectare! ”

One minute. We still have half a meal left.

However, if we did not eat this, hard labor would be more difficult.

Then we were able to eat food, including urgently distributed bread, and finish our meal by drinking water.

But that was all Hectare was after.

“You finish half your meal in a minute. ”

“Honorable Elder! ”

It was a step like a ghost.

Hectare nods with a very satisfied face, secretly approaching our backs like an assassin.

“It won't take me 20 minutes to eat. ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

We had to look at Hectare with trembling eyes. It was because he had a silver long stick in his hand.

“Th-that's... th-that's... ”

We glanced at the silver horseman in Hectare's hand, sweating cold.

If that thing moves....

“Meal time is 10 minutes. Is that possible?”

“Yes, yep…. ”

Fortunately, nothing moves from Hectare's hand.

But we lost our precious 10 minutes of rest.

But I had to endure it.

See, See, Also See.

I endured until the wall was completed, endured until all sorts of weapons were spread there, and even if the dragons came, I met Hectare's conditions that were not satisfied even though the palace was completed to defeat him.

And we were so desperate for opportunity,

“I can no longer stand Hectare's tyranny! ”

“Wooooo!”

“But I can't be bothered by iron pickers! ”

“Wooooo!”

“So... just fly! ”

I abandoned my hometown and chose to flee.
