The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

51 – Oops! Did your hand slip and break your head? (5)

Although it didn’t take long to get to the outlying areas we had been to before.

It took two months to get to the capital of the Dwarven Principality. Still, Ambassador Bilal’s carriage was comfortable, so there was no particular problem. I swallowed dry saliva.

Because this is where the real fight begins. To put it bluntly, this place is no different from an enemy camp. Even if we’re not necessarily demons, there’s a high possibility that the Dwarven Principality will see us badly.

Something I did to Ambassador Bilal before. Because we had a lot of arguments about this negotiation. Maybe after two months? The season has already passed spring and it is almost summer.

And as soon as we arrived at the principality, what greeted us was the noise of metal beating and the heat of the furnace. I’m not going to lie, everything around me is a smithy.

Unlike other castle walls. The pitch-black walls welcomed us. Even the floor was black. I wondered if the castle was made of steel. It doesn’t look like that.

“This is the iron furnace, the capital of our Dwarf principality.”

“It’s an iron furnace… Certainly, that feeling is strong.”

“Extremely hot… It’s not easy to withstand.”

“It wasn’t like this when I came before.”

Helya seemed to be having a hard time with the heat from the furnace. Clinged close to me On the contrary, Cluna seemed to be excited, capturing the whole view of the iron repair in her eyes.

“The war with the demons made dramatic technological progress. Anyway, war leads to technological development.”

“The question is, is that holding you back now?”

“… Yes, abnormally fast development always has some side effects.”

“Welcome back safely, Ambassador Bilal!”

Along with chain mail, he wore a steel breastplate over it. The breastplate has a gorilla-shaped figure engraved on it. She was a girl with blue hair and blue eyes.

“I remember seeing it before. So, the name is…”

“My name is Rain Emerald. I am in charge of the Jewel Star’s lieutenant who protects the leadership of the Dwarven Principality.”

“A star of jewels?”

“Simply put, it’s a similar concept to the SS. Let’s go inside and talk.”

Before entering, I summoned the members of the Royal Knights to one place. Fortunately, they all seemed to have arrived safely. Except for Bayard, who suffered from motion sickness.

“I was in a state of fainting when I returned to the fort before.”

“Bayard was originally prone to motion sickness.”

“So I used to transform into a normal bear and follow him.”

“…because it’s dangerous right now.”

I’m almost 99% sure now. There are demons in the Dwarven Principality. Because it was mentioned in the setting book that it was destroyed by demons. I clicked my tongue.

Then, with a high probability, the Dwarven Principality is going crazy right now. It’s highly likely that the demons did some trick. That too from a very long time ago. Anyway, it’s annoying.

I don’t know if it’s the type that bumps into you from the front. You seem to be the type to move meticulously behind the scenes like the comprachicos. Just accept the new sword, whatever it is. kills in one hit

“Come to think of it, where is that famous divine sword?”

Maybe I wasn’t the only one interested. Director Yu Ren spoke first. I shouted nice inwardly. It was a little too early to speak, so I stayed still.

After all, Captain Yuren! It’s refreshing to scratch an itch! At Captain Yuren’s words, Ambassador Bilal glanced at me. Then he raised his hand and pointed to the center of the plaza.

“The sword embedded in the square over there is the new sword.”

“Is that a new sword that can cut all of that?”

“Oh, it’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while?”

“Lord Cluna might know. Because that sword was used by the first hero.”

And what a sword the first hero used?! I barely held back my mouth watering. It is truly the best weapon! If I get that, I can become the strongest!

But still. Stealing with time stop is very, very simple. I don’t want to do the same thing as the time-stop breeding man. But, only that new sword… … !!

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the drawing room. Unlike a dwarven duchy, it was decorated with all kinds of jewels and fancy furniture. I thought only practicality was important.

“Unexpectedly. I thought there would be no decorations like this.”

“Jewelry, furniture making, etc., treats any technology equally without discrimination. That was our Dwarf duchy, but…”

“Everything has changed because of the war.”

Bilal nodded heavily. Right now, the Dwarven Principality is said to be unrecognized unless it is a very powerful weapon. different from the past. It certainly wasn’t a good thing either.

Even if it’s a war. Because war is not fought only with weapons. War is carried out by gathering various technologies and people. But are you sticking to weapons there?

The puzzle was slowly being put together in my head. Nonsensical weapons like mobile fortresses that popped up in the original work. No way, the demons were aiming for this from the beginning, and the Dwarven Principality… … ?

Of course, he wouldn’t have drawn the big picture from the beginning and wiped out the Royal Knights. It is certain that he had been working on the groundwork to absorb the technological power of the Dwarven Principality before that.

“At first, we thought it was a temporary situation. But after a secret investigation, we…”

“Is it a demon?”

“……How did you know?”

“huh?”

Without realizing it, I let my voice out of my mouth. When I woke up, everyone around me was looking at me. In particular, Bilal and Rain were even showing embarrassed expressions.

The members were also looking at me with puzzled expressions. That, I see. Now, before we hear the story. Of course, he wouldn’t have thought that the Darkness was a demon at all.

oh sh*t Since my head was filled with thoughts related to the demons, I couldn’t properly read the situation around me. I moved my mouth quickly to rectify somehow.

“I know of a country that was destroyed similar to the Dwarven Principality.”

“Come to think of it, I’ve heard that there are several human kingdoms in the past.”

“Well, that’s right. It’s a situation where everyone is now united because of the demons.”

No wonder the names of the countries are human kingdoms and dwarven principalities. It’s not called that way. Could it be that at best the Beasts and Dragons have not lost their own names?

Come to think of it, there was also the Barekhan Kingdom.

However, the Barekhan Seongguk has a great symbolic meaning. Anyway, he is the benefactor who made it possible to protect more than half of the continent. Although the power of the Holy Kingdom is gradually weakening now.

“Humans have a human history. Sir Hans, it seems you’ve been through a lot more than I thought.”

“So you say it like that…”

“Mom, what do you guess?”

“You told me to call you by your first name outside, sir Clara?”

“…”

Fortunately, Bilal and Kluna figured it out on their own. I kept my mouth shut. Rather than talking more here. I’d rather stay still, even in the middle.

Thanks to the two of them, I got through the crisis safely and heard the details from Bilal. Bilal, who felt something suspicious, secretly started investigating behind the scenes with Rain Emerald.

I was able to get my hands on evidence that the demons were involved. However, the evidence could not be retrieved immediately. It was because the magic power extended to the Dwarf Principality was deeper than expected.

“If I did something wrong, I was about to be eliminated. So I had no choice but to pretend to sympathize with them and get out of the Dwarf duchy.”

“Just because Ruby’s father said he was going to the castle of the Royal Knights. Did you join them and follow them?”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t understand. Are you satisfied with having to catch a child from afar and throw it into the furnace?”

“……that…….”

“I’m going to tell you about that myself.”

Ruby, who had been silent, opened her mouth. what else are you Do you have some kind of hidden family power? I’ve come up with such a word. forced to swallow I answered.

“Yes, please.”

“Sometimes among the dwarves, there are cases where they are born with special powers.”

“A special power?”

“We usually refer to it as a gemstone. It has the power to change iron into gold, or to be able to manipulate iron that has been refined with one’s own hands.”

To put it simply, it’s a power similar to supernatural power. Come to think of it, Beryl Sapphire in the original work had a similar skill. It was a skill that consumed one jewel to obtain a buff.

“Then, was that man aiming for the ruby ore?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“What the hell is that gemstone?”

“… It’s actually a gemstone that I inherited from my mother.”

“mother?”

Ah, I have a bad feeling about this… … .

“Me and my mother’s blood, depending on the concentration, can make metals of the highest quality. More than that.”

Why are my forebodings never wrong?
