You had that coming.
Not at all aware
‘I thought it was natural to help Xavier with revenge against the faction and drink. If he's being threatened by surveillance like that, there's no way he can get out. ’
I finally understand why the Dwarves were so passive.
“Then why do you want to go to the front right now? ”
The threat of Marcin will still stand.
‘Even in the original article, the Dwarves didn't have anything to do with it. ’
Why are you suddenly like this?
“· · · · · · 100 people. ”
“Yes?”
Suddenly I said something out of the blue.
“There are exactly 100 dwarves who survived. ”
“· · · · · 100? 100, not 1000? ”
Jig lowers his head as if he can't be more grumpy.
“Teacher · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
I looked at him with my worried eyes.
“Drinking did not intend to keep us alive in the first place. ”
Regret and despair.
It was a cold voice that felt the thrill of killing.
“The 9th year of the Great War. Marcin suddenly came to Murkheim with no prior warning. And he said, ”
- Make this. Make it safe and I'll let you live. If we fail, we all die.
“We desperately made the armor that Drinkin ordered us to make. Thousands of people rushed in. It took two months. After handing the finished armor over to the drinker, · · · · · · ·. ”
Jig's mouth trembles.
I have hallucinations like tears in my eyes.
How furious and gloomy can he make that face?
“Drink,” he said. ”
- Hmm. Excellent. Exactly as ordered. Took me two months to make this.
- I think there were too many. It'll be annoying if you try to plot a plot later.
“And we're 100. ”
Blood runs from Jig's lips. A beard that feels masculine is blotted out with blood.
“Marcin only kept us alive because it was worth it to us. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
Me and Gia were silent.
I don't know what to say.
Should I comfort him, mourn him, or anything else? ’Should I answer it?'
I don't know.
Thinking about what I would look like in such a situation, it was hard for me to talk out loud for some reason.
“I had no idea from the start. I can't believe you think there's nothing wrong with what Marcin just said. It was too short a thought. ”
Jig swallows grief and shines a sharp eye.
“So we thought, If you listen to Drinkin, you die, and if you die, you die. ”
Jig's eyes glow sharply.
“Let's die just because we can't. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“This is why we came here. ”
“· · · · · · · I understand. ”
I understand why they're trying to work with us.
In short, I want to give a shot to the drink somehow.
‘I don't think this happened in the original article, by the way. ’
In the original article, a thousand Dwarf survivors were mentioned.
I definitely remember.
That means there are 100 Dwarf survivors because something variable worked.
“Can I ask you one more question? ”
“What?”
He looks me straight in the eye.
“I wonder why you came to us from Murkheim, not Savior. ”
We should make stronger allies for their purposes. And Xavier is clearly stronger than we are. As it may seem, Xavier has an unconditional advantage.
In that situation, why did they choose us, not Xavier?
“Declined.”
“· · · · · · · · Rejection? ”
“Yes. He refuses to work with the fugitives who have been hiding for 10 years. I didn't even get a chance to talk about this. ”
In Savior's terms, maybe.
‘If it was Metatron, I never would have said no. ’
As a Savior, only the medium-sized heavenly and dragon tribes gathered, it was natural to make such a choice.
“Is that enough? ”
“Yes, that's enough. ”
I understand why they came here.
“A powerful force came out of this place earlier, by the way. Hemp, this country is Sabre and · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
“Yes. I think we'll have an alliance. It's not 100 percent. ”
“Oh!”
The eyes of both dwarves fill with joy.
“So I see! I was right! Hahaha!”
I can't be happier than this.
The facial expressions are really varied. Because they are loyal to original emotions.
“Master, it's not too early to be happy. · · · · · · · · · rather than receiving confirmation from the alliance. ”
“Oh, I was. ”
Jig wakes up and looks back at me with sharp eyes.
Even though it's three inches tall, I can feel something gigantic.
Was it an affair?
“Well, you don't have to answer that. ”
I shrugged.
“Alliance. I accept. ”
The strategic alliance with Muirkheim was unwelcome here.
There is no reason to refuse once there is no doubt about their actions.
“Thank you. So this is the proposal. ”
“Secure migration zones for 100 dwarves and establish a forge. And the acquisition and safety of materials. Is that it?”
“Oh. Exactly. ”
Jig gives you a big smile.
He looks very satisfied.
“The terms and conditions that this side will propose in return are · · · · · · · · ·. ”
“Don't worry. As long as you're prepared, you can provide unlimited artifacts to open your mouth. ”
“That's good. ”
I didn't need any more words.
They were clear what they wanted from each other and what they could do for each other.
“Haha. After six months, I can finally bring my reading to my home country. Thank you.”
Jig sags on the couch, as if all his gin had gone out.
“We really appreciate it. The fame of your Dwarves for their armor is the best in all dimensions. ”
“Oh, yeah! Of course! That's why Marcin was the first to rule us out. Haha.”
“· · · · · · · Haha. ”
That was a black jock who didn't know how to react.
“Oh, right. ”
It's a pretty random flow of consciousness. Black jock reminds me.
“Do you know anything about this? ”
“Hmm? What do you mean? ”
I handed him the Black Metal Fragment. If Zig is the blacksmith of Zigo, maybe he can find out what the holy objects of drinking are.
I asked with such expectations. To be honest, I thought the probability of knowing was less than or equal to 1.
“Yi, this! ”
However, unlike expected, Jig's reaction was dramatic.
Like someone who knows what this is, ”This, this! Why is this happening?”
“Do you know what this is? ”
“Of course you do! Sacrament of Drinking! I never knew! ”
Jig grips the sacred fragment and frowns.
“There are no parents who don't recognize their children! ”
“· · · · · · · Yes? ”
Did you just call him your son?
“That means · · · · · · · · ·. ”
“What I said before. Remember? When Marcin told me to make one in the ninth year? ”
“· · · · · · No kidding. ”
“Yes.”
Jig grips at the fragment and grumbles.
“Thousands of our clans rushed together, and the armor they made for two months was the holy relic of this drink. ”
“· · · · · · · Huh. ”
It was an unexpected connection.
