Side story. The little man, the giant, and the poison
“There are rumors that learning is delicious?”
“Yes. As rumored, it’s better than most restaurants.”
“this?”
“This is why they don’t know the taste…”
“What did you just say?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
Werner wiped his lips with a napkin.
“I’ll just go.”
“Where are you going?”
“It is said that there are many restaurants in New York.”
“His taste, taste.”
“What’s the difference between that bastard’s magic cannon and the magic cannon?”
“It is different. Because I don’t wear magic cannons anymore.”
“Magic Missile or Magical Cannon.”
“It is completely different!”
Dercain shouted out loud, but the attention of the people around him was not focused. It was thanks to the authority blocking the sound.
“Yes, yes. I hope you work hard.”
“Let’s just go.”
“But aren’t you tired? Aren’t you attending lectures at universities all over the world?”
“You never get tired of learning new things. Are you tired of eating gourmet?”
“I understand. Although I don’t understand that it can be on a par with gastronomy. Honestly, aren’t there a lot of duplicates?”
“Each person has different knowledge and different interpretations. And even if the big frame is the same, the details are different for each university and each professor. I will put it all together.”
Maybe my college life would be incredibly long, but it didn’t matter. All that was left was time.
‘Later, I’m going to go to graduate school and go to academic conferences.’
However, I had no intention of living like a slave in a graduate school lab. I was thinking of using my authority to devour only the kernel.
“See you next time.”
“I will.”
Werner is gone. Derkain, who was left alone, cleared the empty tray and entered the school.
“Today’s lecture…”
I pulled out the class schedule on my smartphone and checked it. It was a tight timetable with almost no classes except for lunchtime.
“Aerospace. It’s a magic satellite. I mean, this isn’t too bad.”

Just imagining a picture of placing magic satellites in space and shooting them toward the ground or toward enemies in space is fun.
“Humans here are said to receive solar energy, but if energy is supplied through the light of the Akashic Records, not the sun…”
Its destructive power is incomparable to sunlight. If you plaster the planet with such a satellite, it becomes an impregnable fortress.
“Primarily satellites, secondly missiles, and thirdly magic cannons.”
One interception from space, two interceptions from incoming atmosphere, and three bombardments from the ground.
There probably won’t be any enemies who can withstand that overwhelming fire.
“No. That’s good, but the fact that it’s a space battleship isn’t bad either.”
Earthlings cannot be made due to lack of science and technology, and exist only in fantasy or theory, but Derkain had sufficient abilities.
Artificial intelligence was replaced by spirits, and dwarves were the best at making gloves and parts. Design is his forte, and what he lacks in science, he can replace with magic.
“It’s good to just imagine.”
It is said that Kim Woo-jin is not overweight, but it was also true in the old saying. Those who want peace, prepare for war.
Even if it’s not that, a huge space battleship that goes over several kilometers, and thousands of giant guns create a sense of security just by their existence.
That alone is reason enough to make space battleships.
“You have to go quickly. I will be late for the lecture.”
Studying was the only way to live.
The belated college student hurriedly entered the lecture hall… and couldn’t.
───!
Something fell in front of him with a roar.
“Sah, save me! Lord Cain!”
It was a man, not a god.
* * *
“Calm down for now.”
Damn, Dercain lightly flicked his fingers and spread his power.
Suggested to people who were surprised by something that suddenly fell, made it as if nothing had happened, showed a normal illusion with no one around, and blocked the sound to prevent words from leaking out.
It looked light, but it was a combination of three powers.
“Why is your face so haggard? What’s going on?”
“Delcain-sama…!”
The wide-eyed Kang Min-sik grabbed Derkain’s hand.
“It’s a surprise. What are these bony hands? Where did you get your blood sucked from a vampire?”
“Blood was sucked by someone worse than a vampire…”
“You sucked your blood? Could it be Kim Woo-jin?”
“no. There is no reason for the warden to take my blood, is there?”
“then?”
“I am Durishma. No, there is no time for this here.”
Kang Min-sik carefully looked around and led Durishma’s hand to a shady place out of sight.
“What is this? I have to take a lecture.”
“Is that lecture more important than me!”
“Don’t talk like calling the axe.”
“···sorry. Even I heard it was strange. Anyway, that’s not the point, it’s an artifact! Give me an artifact!”
“Artifact? Suddenly what artifact?”
“You have that. The artifact that hid the World Tree from the gods! Cloud sky or something!”
“It’s not a cloud sky, it’s a sky cloud. It’s not something, it’s one of my masterpieces.”
“Yeah, that anyway. Where is that?”
“It must be rotting somewhere in subspace. But why are there clouds in the sky all of a sudden?”
“We must hide!”
“You?”
“Yes, me!”
Derkhain shook his head.
“Sorry, but you can’t use it.”
“What kind of small grain is that?”
“It’s a custom-made item for the World Tree, so even if you hide, it’s hard to expect a great effect. Of course, the creatures wouldn’t notice, but if you’re just trying to escape from the creatures, there’s no need to ask me for an artifact.”
Derkain, who was caressing his beard, asked.
“Tell me. What the hell is going on? Shouldn’t I be able to help you if you speak properly?”
“… Durishma.”
“Durishma?”
“Yes.Durishma that bastard thinks I’m a portable beer tender!”
“···Yes?”
* * *
Kang Min-sik, who must have accumulated a lot, poured out his words like a rapid-fire cannon.
“So to sum it up, Kim Woo-jin handed you over to Durishma for kidnapping?”
“Yes.”
“So you have no choice but to chase Durishma, who is accumulating karma, wandering around the dimensions that have reached the end and the dimensions of the end?”
“Yes.”
“By the way, Durishma has tasted the drink and continues to ask for poison in the drink?”
“Yes.”
“But resistance has developed, so the demand has increased, and in the end, normal poisons can’t handle it, so they ask for your blood?”
“Yes. My blood is the most poisonous of all my poisons.”
“But the frequency of it is increasing more and more…”
“The blood is sucked to the point of death. Please save me.”
For some reason, the complexion was pale and the whole body was like bones.
“Is it possible to make wine from your blood? Poison and alcohol are completely different.”
“It is my power. If blood is what I’ve eaten, it can be made with any kind of miasma, even with drugs.”
“Right. You can make alcohol out of your blood.”
“Yes. Anyway, that ignorant giant doesn’t know what satisfaction is. It’s not a water-drinking hippo, it demands dozens of drinks a day!”
“Isn’t that natural? The giants drink poison like water, to the point that even us dwarves stick out their tongues. What about its ancestor, Titan?”
“…”
Kang Min-sik’s complexion became even paler.
“… Ah, artifacts. Is Artifact really bad?”
“If you want to make it, you can make it, but…”
“Then come on…!”
“It is not something that will happen in a day or two. And unfortunately.”
cooong-
Huge footprints were carved on the land.
“Durishma is already here.”
“···Ahh.”
“Kang Min-sik. Your liver is big. How dare you run away.”
A giant over 2m growled. Kang Min-sik, whose legs were weak, sat down.
“Long time no see, Durishma.”
“It’s Dercain. What are you doing here?”
“I have been here since the beginning. Kang Min-shik came to me.”
“to you?”
Derkain glanced at Kang Min-sik. Kang Min-sik felt a deep ominous feeling in his gaze. No way, the anxiety was settled.
“He asked me to make an artifact to avoid your gaze.”
“Derkain-nim!”
“You sound very cocky. Do you think you can get away from me?”
“That, it’s not like that…”
“But why are you telling me that?”
“I am intrigued.”
“interest?”
“I’ve never seen you drink so much. I was thinking why the Titans don’t drink, it’s a bit bizarre, but it turns out that’s not the case.”
“They are water, not alcohol.”
“In other words, you’re saying that alcohol with Kang Min-sik’s blood is worth it, right?”
“then?”
“I will never make something like an artifact. Can I get some of that liquor for you?”
“…Derkain-sama?”
Kang Min-sik’s mouth fell open with a deep sense of betrayal. I couldn’t even think of what to say to the completely unexpected development.
My father’s words just kept going around in my mouth.
“Do you think you can avoid my eyes if you make something like an artifact?”
“You know that, don’t you?”
“···good night.”
“That’s a good deal.”
The giant and the dwarf held each other’s hands and shook hands.
There was no opinion from the Germans who were the subject of the transaction.
“how···! How could you do this to me!”
“You know what? Not as much as the giants, but dwarves like to drink too.”
And among those dwarves, Derkain especially liked alcohol.
“But after becoming a hero and a god, I have never been properly drunk. I drink because I want to get drunk, but I’ve never been drunk. How funny.”
But I thought so. I thought it was the rule of the world that if you gain something, you lose something.
“But it’s enough alcohol to keep Titan satisfied. There’s no way it won’t appeal to you.”
“… you traitor!”
“I’m sorry. But I can’t help it, I’m a dwarf.”
Cheep, Dercain licked his lips.
“we are here.”
Durishma took out five large oak barrels from subspace.
“Tell me if you need more later.”
“Thank you. It was a good deal.”
“It is the same.”
Poison and wine were traded.
“aaagh! let go of this! I am human! I am not a beertender!”
Kang Min-sik was desperate, but he couldn’t stop being dragged by the giant.
That’s how the giants and poisons disappeared.
“…that’s a little pitiful.”
But I couldn’t help it. Since he became a hero and was imprisoned, he has never been drunk, but to be able to get drunk again.
How could I resist this temptation as a dwarf?
Forgetting that Derkain had to enter the lecture, he opened the barrel on the spot.
boom boom-
“Kuuu! Kill this! Even if I had a hundred, not five, it wouldn’t be enough!”
On that day, Derkain announced its own suspension of three lectures.
