019. Dwarves, Orcs, Elves and Champions
“How did you do it?”
The dwarves flapped their arms and legs like a freshly caught fish.
Her bright eyes like a child were so pure that she wanted to crush them.
“The ghost of mana I made is connected to the core of the tower! And to change like this!”
“Weren’t the Dwarves attached to their work?”
So Berge had expected the logger to grunt.
“It doesn’t matter now. Isn’t this a huge step forward?”
“What was limited to the first floor spread throughout the tower.”
“Obviously, mana was designed and built as a power source, but the power source was changed by an unknown power.”
“Even suddenly hiding the entire tower? I have never heard of anything like this.”
“How did you do it? No, what is this tower?”
Logger poured out his words like a rapid-fire cannon. It was the opposite of the gloomy and passive appearance he had shown until now when he was kidnapped.
“Did you think the Demon King’s Tower would be normal?”
“Of course not, but this is amazing. I’m going crazy wondering how the hell can I change it like this.”
“therefore?”
“Yes?”
“So what do you want to say?”
“If that … if that’s not excused, can I just, just a little bit, rip off the machine and the tower, no, can I check it out?”
Rejection The decisiveness that seemed to refuse was the brightest of the eyes he showed after being kidnapped by the tower.
‘Is it madness?’
It was a look I had only seen from demons crazy about battle. Their purpose was different, but the meaning was not so different.
There was nothing new about the Dwarves being curious about the mystery they had encountered for the first time.
“Are there any things you need to do before that?”
Logger shuddered.
“The warrior is coming closer. at least 1 month. Three months at the latest.”
According to Granada’s report, they are arriving at a uniform speed, so unless there is a big problem, it will arrive in two months.
If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s short.
“Can you complete the design within it?”
“You can. No, I will definitely do it! On the honor of my hero!”
“You don’t even care about that in the first place, do you?”
“Then I will bet anything! so···.”
“good night. If you meet the deadline, I’ll let you do what you want. However, there should be no problems with the machine and the tower.”
“of course!”
Logger nodded proudly. The design has already been completed and the restriction not to use mana has been lifted.
can make No, it must be done.
The craftsman’s eyes lit up with madness.

‘The energy that sucked up more magic and caused a change that exceeded expectations.’
The tower did not reveal what exactly it was.
But I guessed something.
‘It is a dimensional interference force.’
Reduce the strength of the invaders.
The power of balance that increases the strength of the warriors.
When I first met Logger, he was making the princess’ weapon.
He was very weak, but he had the power to hammer. Mana danced to his hammer. Mana resided in the weapon.
‘I don’t know, but there was a lot of talk about mana fluctuating when I hammered. So I thought about a way to hide mana and created a ghost of mana.’
Hearing how the ghost of Mana was made, he was convinced. Logger had no power as a warrior, but all that interference was transferred to hammering.
His skills and passion have made him one of the best in the kingdom, but it cannot be denied that the strength of a warrior has contributed.
“Isn’t that a good thing…?”
He was reluctant because he was a hero, but that came to his advantage.
“What do you mean!”
Then, Gordon suddenly shouted.
“We must get rid of that ridiculous abomination, the ghost of mana right now!”
“Why?”
“Why? Isn’t that obvious? The Demon King’s Tower must stand taller than any other building. You must always show off your presence and show your dignity as a demon and as a demon king. Does it make sense to hide it?”
because that’s crazy because that’s the devil
But at that obvious remark, Berger frowned.
“You know? It’s annoying to have to respond to each and every one of your murmurs.”
“·················ogue.”
“It’s not that I don’t understand the pride of being a demon, but I want you to look at the current situation. Otherwise, do you think we will be able to stop the heroes right now?”
“…I can’t stop it.”
“okay. People who cry for ideals with no alternatives are called idiots. Please don’t make me call you a nerd.”
“·················ogue.”
“If you still want to oppose it, you can come up with a way that I can understand even though it is demonic.”
Even though I hate standards, I’m not an idiot who doesn’t follow what’s right.
Berger whispered.
I didn’t before, but I don’t know why I suddenly became a nerd.
He also said something in English.
‘I asked you not to call me a nerd.’
already called
Gordon bit his lip.
“I will definitely bring it.”
pride as a demon.
pride as a senior.

Berge did several experiments.
“Closing the door significantly reduces the leaking mana.”
At first I thought it was a complete blockade, but it wasn’t to that extent.
However, there was no doubt about its usefulness in that it effectively hides the purer mana of the spirit.
“And stealth.”
There are several types of stealth.
to hide the sign itself.
deceive the field of vision with illusions.
become a part of nature.
The tower’s hiding due to the ghost of mana was all three.
Erasing the foundation of the tower.
As an illusion, it melts into the environment and becomes a part of it.
It was still at a basic stage, so I felt a sense of alienation, but as the tower grows and the interference applied to Berge decreases, it will become more perfect.
“Still, I can’t use it carelessly.”
20 magic per second was never light. Whether it was more efficient or not, it seemed that he would not be able to come up with it unless it was an emergency.
“Oh, I see, there was a promise.”
Berge, who remembered the promise with the princess, opened the tower’s warehouse after a long time. There, the three roots of the previously obtained elixir were still asleep.
“…
It has been pickled in a mild magki, and part of it has a purple color.
It was intentional, so I couldn’t say it was bad. However, since I decided to give Ernian an elixir root, it could not be said that it was very good in the current situation.
‘I can’t help it.’
Eventually I had to sell it again.
As I was entrusted with an important role, I will do my best by giving what I have decided to give.
Berge went down to the 4th floor.
“Are you leaving?”
“Since I decided to give you a young choir, I will keep my promise. The things in the tower now are mixed with magic and you cannot use them.”
It’s not that humans can’t use magic. As warlocks exist, it depends on how you use them, but at least to the spirits, they were completely poison.
“like.”
Ernya was excitedly dressed. I went out of the tower with a logger seeing me off.
“I’m going in a different direction this time.”
Fortunately, the sky was clear. A wind spirit was sent to Ernian.
The footprints of one demon and one person were carved along the snow.
“Can I ask you just one question?”
“Good. I just had a question.”
“Ask first.”
“Why did you accept my offer?”
“You wanted it.”
“It did. But I thought there was no possibility.”
I pondered and pondered over and over. But I couldn’t quite understand it.
Why did the princess accept her offer? Why are you kicking yourself out of the possibility of being saved?
“Because of the elixir.”
“Elixir is precious, but there’s no way you, Crown Princess of Hilderan, didn’t take it.”
“Still, the more elixir the better, right?”
“It’s not enough to be hostile to the hero who comes to rescue you.”
“Ah, isn’t this too much?”
Ernya shook her head. Berger looked down at her expressionlessly.
“If you just don’t want to go back to the Kingdom, can you convince me?”
“Is there something wrong with you?”
“Where can I find an innocent person?”
“Right.”
“Aren’t you going to ask more?”
“Suffice.”
If there’s a reason, that’s it. It’s not like I’m curious about her detailed family history.
All you need to do is be as cooperative as you are now while you are hostage.
“What about your question?”
“Ah yes. What will you do if you capture the hero?”
“Are you worried?”
“First of all, you are the one who came to save me.”
“I can’t let you go.”
“I know that. If you look at what you are doing now, it is very different from other Demon King’s Towers.”
“Tell me the gist.”
“Are you going to make Hero Hillen your subordinate?”
Berge kidnapped himself and made him decorate the floor.
They kidnapped a Dwarf warrior and left them on the first floor.
Then I wondered if Hillen Cargill would try to use it as a subordinate as well.
“Why are you curious about that?”
“Because I heard that there was no such Demon Lord for hundreds of years…?”
Ernya, who was talking, stopped walking.
“I found it.”
“already?”
“By the way···.”
She frowned.
“There are passengers.”
* * *
Is it because it’s the opposite of what it was before? Surprisingly, it was a good thing that I found Yeongcho so quickly.
But it was never nice to have a passenger.
Even less so were the passengers who had left unpleasant memories of the past.
Fear Oak. A tribe, larger than before, was decorating the village around Yeongcho.
A sentry could be seen through the crudely intertwined walls of wood. eyes met
“··········!”
Orc’s pupils dilated. Soon, a loud horn sound shook the village.
“It bothered me.”
“Will you resist?”
“There is no law that says you can’t do it twice.”
Berger lightly stretched out his hand. The shimmering black flames burned the wooden walls in an instant.
However.
“·················ogue.”
“Wow···.”
It was not speculation and living that greeted them.
It wasn’t a crude blade or dirty teeth.
“I see the Demon King!”
“My lord!”
Awe. and obedience.
Dozens of Ful Orcs were kneeling. He bowed his head and shook his head. Worship was raised towards Berge.
“…what are you doing?”
At his question, the leading Ful Orc raised his head.
“I beg you. Please accept us into the family of the Demon King!”

“Granada. The performance of you and the Red Hawk is amazing.”
There was a slight dissonance, but the bravery was relatively smooth.
The absence of demons and demons meant that the by-products and wealth to be obtained were insufficient, but at the same time, it was a factor that further emphasized the greatness of the warriors.
– The Demon King, frightened by Hillen’s power, did not send even demons.
– Nothing can block the progress of the bravery.
– This brave run will surely succeed.
Is that so?
Even the bandits did not dare to aim for the bravery. There were no swarms of flies that would normally have one or two.
Occasionally, there were only a few monsters that lost their fearful heads and rushed to them.
And in such a trivial battle, it was the Red Hawk mercenaries who showed the most outstanding performance.
It was thanks to the fact that Granada used the sensitive senses of the elves to welcome the monsters before anyone else.
It was also because of the order of the Demon King to be active more than anyone else and build a reputation.
Thanks to this, Granada had frequent contacts with the champion, Hillen Cargill.
“It’s been a while since there’s an elf like you.”
“Is that so?”
“The elves are closed, so don’t they easily leave their territory just because a pact is signed?”
Obviously the elves did. But that was the case with most of these races. He also had an instinct to dislike going out of bounds, but his desire to avoid human touch was stronger.
Granada did not necessarily acknowledge that fact.
“But it seems that there are elves that you know after a long time.”
“There was. He was a colleague.”
Hillen laughed bitterly.
“He gave his life for me. Thanks to him, I defeated the demon king of lust…”
“I just asked.”
Granada apologized for the melancholy at the end.
“No, it’s not really a secret.”
And Granada did not miss a drop of water flowing out.
“He was a friend who took the lead in subjugating the Demon King more than anyone else. Just like any other elf. As if you were taking the lead among the mercenaries to subdue monsters. I fell in love with the familiar look. sorry.”
“no. I think you can do that.”
“Thank you for your understanding. In that sense, would you like to have a drink?”
“Yes.”
Cups collided with each other.
Hillen laughed happily.
“I wish you all the best in the future. If it were you, somehow I think I could trust and put my back on it.”
“It’s overrated.”
Subsequent conversations were trivial.
“Then I’ll just go.”
“Yes, I look forward to future performances.”
“Yes.”
Granada went out.
Healan’s smile, left alone, disappeared in an instant as if a mask had been removed.
“Yeah, elves are reliable. Elf.”
Isn’t it?

Hillen kissed her ring lightly.
