292 – 280.7 Days of Dragon-9
Bolmond was seriously concerned about the words that came out of Bern’s mouth, which was nothing short of the mouth of disaster.
‘Making weapons from the remains of compatriots? What an innovative idea!’
Dwarves are a race of people who carry hammers instead of rattles since they were babies, s*uck iron instead of chives, and stay away from fire even in the summer.
That is why they were proud of being a race of people who loved and took pride in night market work.
Because they were such dwarves, they were willing to accept if their bodies became part of a weapon.
For dwarves, the land that produces countless ores is their mother, and the fire that melts the ores is their father.
The body, whose soul had escaped, returned to its father’s arms, not its mother’s arms.
‘If the method he spoke of is used, not only will there be no need to build a graveyard, but the problem of rotten grave robbers will also be solved…….’
A high-quality treasured sword was placed as a tombstone for the compatriots returning to their land.
However, as a result, the dwarf graveyard became a target for grave robbers.
The deaths of our compatriots were desecrated by grave robbers who did not care at all if the graveyard was damaged.
However, if you make weapons from the dwarf’s remains and pass them on to your relatives, the problem of grave robbers disappears.
‘Anyway, the lord still has no intention of listening to our demands…….’
As the problem of grave robbers became more serious, numerous dwarves protested to the lord and begged him to solve the problem.
However, despite protesting more than dozens of times, the lord did not even pretend to listen to their voices.
The dwarves were so angry that they took out tools and began direct resistance.
“The tradition I mentioned was probably my misunderstanding, so if you pass it off as nonsense… !”
“It may have been your mistake, but it was a story that could become a great tradition for us dwarves. “Thanks for stopping by, human.”
“If you make something like a weapon out of the remains and it gets damaged, it’s a big problem, right?”
“Do you think that a craftsman who makes weapons has poor management skills? “With our hands, even an old long sword can be used for hundreds more years.”
“Even if the grave robbers disappear, thieves might steal it this time.”
“Just keep it in a place where thieves can’t touch it. “We dwarves have safes in every house that not even the devil can easily open.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just put the safe in the tomb?”
“So, it’s a form of sending them away without giving them a safe containing a treasured sword, not a treasured sword! Also, a dwarf’s safe is no different from an heirloom that has been passed down from generation to generation, so it cannot be produced infinitely! It is difficult to make one secret safe for each person, but if some people can put it in and others cannot, it will be a violation of fairness.”
Bern was unable to raise any objection to Bolmond’s remarks.
Of course the dwarves knew the situation well, and he was the king representing his race.
Unlike humans, the position of king of dwarves was determined solely by skill, not blood legitimacy.
Therefore, if Volmond told the dwarves to follow him, everyone had no choice but to follow him.
Because he was the best blacksmith in the world.
It was the same this time too. If Verne considered the tradition he had mistakenly mentioned to be good, he had to accept it from all the dwarves as well.
If you don’t want to do that, you should defeat Volmond with a field trick, but considering that he reigned as king until the future, you had to assume that no one more powerful than him would appear in the future.
“Well, I guess so.”
“Well, we won’t put it into effect right now. “We will gather all the elders together and discuss it in depth before making a decision.”
Bolmond stepped on the embers of the fallen cigarette with his foot and put a new cigarette in his mouth.
He could tell that he was feeling much better than when he first put a cigarette in his mouth, as the corners of his mouth rose.
It is said that a smoker smokes both when he is in a bad mood and when he is in a good mood, and Volmond was that kind of person.
“Anyway, now it’s my turn to ask. “What did you want to do to meet the lord?”
“…… “I tried to gloss over it at first, but I think it’s okay to be honest about it.”
Bern explained the reason for coming to the city.
A village chief tells her about her sins, why she was broken, and even her suspicions surrounding her lord.
I told Volmond the whole story except for the pocket watch.
“In other words, you came here to take revenge on the village chief?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, I don’t intend to get into a discussion about personal grudges, but honestly, I don’t understand. “There is no advantage to be gained by helping a criminal who has taken the lives of so many people.”
“There is a saying, ‘Hate the sin, but don’t hate the person.’
“Do you really think that? “It doesn’t look like that to me.”
Volmond snorted and laughed at Bern’s words.
Bern, who had sensed that he was saying something he had no intention of saying, also smiled sheepishly.
“Even sin is ultimately created by people, so we can’t tell them not to hate it.”
“Did someone you know well try to convince me like that and get over it?”
“I apologize if you felt uncomfortable.”
“It’s okay to apologize, tell me your true feelings.”
“I believe that if we only punish the crimes in front of us and move on, the lord will create someone like a second village chief. So she came to severely punish the lord for a clean future. Additionally, the reason the village chief was kept alive is like a death row inmate’s last supper.”
“What is that?”
“It is a privilege to prepare a dinner of the death row inmate’s choice before the execution. “I am not a person who governs the law, but as a fellow human being, I would like to at least free the chief so that he can repent for his sins and die in peace.”
“…… He is a person with deeper affection than he looks. “He’s someone that Gwangryong will like.”
“Right? “I came to cherish Geon-woo because he always thinks of others more than himself and has a great heart for them!”
Breese suddenly started rubbing his cheek against Bern’s body.
The act was filled with sweet affection, but it actually came as bitter pain to Bern.
‘It is no longer possible to say that it was a favored piece designed to steal information… ….’
By handing over the lord’s personal security, he wanted to hear a story about the pocket watch from the village chief.
It was an action based on shady intentions, but his clever remarks left many people deeply moved.
In the end, he felt remorse and a drop of sweat rolled down Bern’s cheek.
“Since there is such a story, we should roll up our sleeves and help.”
“Are you helping us?”
“Yes, we were about to go see the lord anyway.”
“If he didn’t come out, I was planning to drag the young lord by his beard!”
“If I do something like that, I might get kicked out of the city, right?”
“Rather, the sea I had hoped for. “Even if we didn’t, we were planning to leave this city.”
“But the lord will hold on to the leg of our pants and hang out. “This city’s source of income is mostly weapons made by us dwarves.”
“If the dwarves leave, this city won’t be able to survive for even a few months and will collapse. “I wanted to see that, so I secretly created our own underground city.”
Dwarves are the geese that lay golden eggs.
However, Viscount Helgen was so obsessed with the golden egg that he was like splitting the goose’s stomach with his own hands.
Although we cannot respect the dwarves who bring us gold, they continued to exploit us, resulting in the current situation.
In the distant future, it was Viscount Helgen who caused the dwarves to hide in their underground city.
If it weren’t for him, the kingdom would have developed into a powerful country with even better weapons.
When Bern heard the reason why he couldn’t do that, he laughed inside but acted surprised on the outside.
“Is it okay if you tell me such an important fact?”
“If this remark causes any problems, I will take responsibility.”
“Kyaa! “Are you a person who has been recognized by our Majesty, following Gwangryong?”
“This is something you have to live to see for a long time!”
“It’s noisy! “You bastards!”
When Volmond shouted, the dwarves around him quickly scattered.
Clicking his tongue, Volmond looked at Bern again and placed his hand on his shoulder.
“At least for now, our intentions are aligned, so let’s move together for the time being. “There will be no disagreement, right?”
“Good.”
“Then first, take your weapon…… “There is none.”
“I’m embarrassed, but it’s because I’m broke.”
“Is it possible for a boy to achieve a great cause without a weapon? “Tell me what weapon you mainly use, and I’ll give you a fancy one.”
“It’s okay if you don’t show that much consideration.”
“It’s conservative. “You came up with a really good idea, so just take it as a reward.”
“Then I would like to ask you to use a sword.”
“It’s a sword…… It’s a good thing! Even if that’s not the case, a good guy was created not long ago.”
Bolmond left somewhere with the words to wait a moment.
Meanwhile, Breeze, who had changed into human form, was clinging to Bern and wagging his tail.
He wasn’t saying anything, but I could tell he was in a very good mood.
We were happy to be able to enjoy time alone together for the first time in a long time.
But not long after, Volmond came carrying a sword, signaling the end of their cozy time.
“It’s here.”
“Thank you!”
Bern is smiling happily as he takes out the sword hidden in its scabbard.
I laughed because I knew at a glance that it was a good sword.
But the people around him were actually looking with a straight face.
Bern’s hand is stroking the sword from the handle to the tip of the sword.

This was because the flashy finger movements like tentacles were unsightly.
It was his habit of frequently caressing Prah.
