402 Dwarf Kingdom (2/2)
They knew that there was no way that they could face the king directly given that he was a Law God, while the strongest member of their resistance was just a Law Master.
That Law Master was quite famous as a blacksmith and had mastered the Smith Law, so a lot of people joined the resistance when they heard that he was supporting it.
In fact, that Law Master was the same person who taught about blacksmithing to the two princes, so he was quite close to the royal family, but he stopped working with them after the king died.
Officially, he said that the fact one of his students killed his good friend was heartbreaking and wanted to retire, so no one opposed to his opinion, but the truth was different, and that was the reason for that Law Master helping the resistance.
Everyone reacted with shock when they heard the truth, but at the same time, they felt that everything was more logical in that way.
The first prince wasn't the culprit of the death of the former king; the culprit was the second prince, or in other words, the new king. Framing the first prince had been part of the plan to ensure obtaining the throne, and an unconscious opponent couldn't speak to defend from calumnies.
The first prince was the most beloved student of that Law Master because it was a case when the student surpassed the master. The first prince was a Law God in the Smith Law.
The king and the former king were Law Gods at the Fire and Earth Law respectively, so it was more believable that it was their king who killed the former king.
The first prince had always been a blacksmithing freak who only wielded weapons after making them, but no one could remember seeing him battling others for fun as his brother usually did.
The plan of the resistance consisted of first freeing the first prince, who all of them considered the legitimate king, and then they would revolt openly against the usurper king.
Although the battle prowess of the first prince was inferior to his brother's, at least both were Law Gods, so it would be more secure than doing it on their own.
After all, there were also some Law Masters on the king's side being part of the elite of the royal guard, and the only option to divide those forces was unveiling the truth about the death of the former king, which would provoke internal disturbances among the royal guards.
That was their original plan, but it went suddenly disrupted when two unknown people appeared in front of them.
The first words they heard from one of them made them feel like if their thoughts could be seen through.
”I see, so you formed this resistance after Julie got kidnapped after trying to help Shirk and Driwna.”
No one knew about the identities of Shirk and Driwna, but they knew very well that Julie was the name of the kidnapped merchant, so they guessed that they were the couple that Julie tried to help.
”Let me introduce myself. My name is Yale, and I am one of the founders of the Thousand Frost Wolves Company.”
Everyone nodded after hearing that because it didn't mind if they believed it or not, they didn't have the guts to say something that opposed to Yale's words.
They couldn't sense Yale's power at all, but their intuition yelled them that they mustn't offend that person no matter what.
Everyone in the resistance was quite powerful in some way, and all of them had sharp intuitions.
Strong people had keen senses for danger developed after battling a lot of times.
Wealthy merchants had a keen eye for discerning the nature of people.
Experts in forging polished their senses to the limit to avoid making even the slightest mistake in the forging process.
Thus, all of them deduced that they must obey Yale if they wanted to remain alive.
Especially the Law Master felt that Yale was unfathomable but also noticed that the silent cold-faced woman beside Yale was equally unfathomable and shouldn't be offended either.
