Main Character Hides His Strength

98. Kingdom of Crisis (3)

Deck of Sylphide.

Kim Sung-cheol was enjoying a drink, leaning against the railing.

Beneath the ledge are mountains large and small, extending long from east to west.

On Sylphide's forefront was a white flag with green leaves on it, indicating that it was a specialty of the Elven Allied Kingdom.

Sylphide is headed for the Dwarf kingdom now.

Nothing was decided.

The foundation was simply a volatility.

“That's not like you. ”

Bertelkia opens her mouth in her pocket.

“I had no choice. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at a distant place while sipping a drink.

It dates back 11 years.

Kim Sung-cheol learns about a dwarf while rebels are fighting hard in various places against Rutheginia.

It was Prince Dwarf.

He was a very strong warrior, and he brought skilled elite soldiers to the entourage and was as powerful as a thousand soldiers to the rebels in the crisis of the floodlights.

However, Hosamadara, the Dwarf prince's personality was troubled.

Less than a week later, everyone hated him. Kim Sung-cheol was the same.

He was so selfish and stubborn.

He only prioritizes his interests and doesn't care about the alliance's affairs.

Despite the lack of groceries, the Dwarf prince clearly knew the rebels were starving, but did not give them a jar of grain and a piece of meat.

Instead, I insisted that some sacks of potatoes be placed at the head of the rebellion.

Everyone hated him.

Kim Sung-cheol also hated him.

Somehow, the Dwarf Prince liked Sung-cheol Kim. Behavior beggars are heavy and sturdy like Dwarves.

That was the root.

“... I did a lot of things I couldn't do to him. ”

Kim Sung-cheol remembers the past self who embezzled Prince Dwarf's cart full of loot.

Prince Dwarf went on a rampage at the time, but didn't blame Kim Sung-cheol. It's because I believed in Kim Sung-cheol.

But it was only the beginning.

Since then, Kim Sung-cheol has stolen or stolen the Dwarf prince's supplies several times, and once he almost lured an entire army, including the Dwarf prince, into extinction.

I felt guilty and Kim Sung-cheol joined the battle and saved the king's life.

“... and even after that, he believed me. ”

In the hazy recollection of Kim Sung-cheol, the landscape inside the tent was drawn.

Many wounded dwarf warriors, large and small, demanded their prince to be punished for Kim Sung-cheol.

It was truly a humble sight to live in.

Shamal Rajafoot, who was called heartless beyond the heart of a strong man, showed restlessness on his face as well that day.

Now, the rebel army that had just begun to rise, in front of the crisis that would end, the prince rebuked his men and surrounded Sung-cheol Kim.

Kim Sung-cheol looked into the Dwarf prince's eyes and realized what he was thinking.

The prince also knows that Kim Sung-cheol is wrong.

Nevertheless, it is because of his stubbornness that he surrounds Kim Sung-cheol. I considered Kim Sung-cheol as a good person without any reason, but I ate it once.

Denying its own will is like acknowledging your own fault.

It is unacceptable to admit your guilt to a selfish Dwarf prince. So I insisted. And his stubbornness led him to defend Kim Sung-cheol.

The situation sank and the crisis was resolved.

“That dwarf prince... You're not the current Dwarf King, are you? ”

While listening to Kim Sung-cheol's story, Bertella faintly trembled and asked.

Kim Sung-cheol took a drink and nodded.

“The dwarf king is right. ”

The man, Dynkraft, was like that.

Stubbornness itself seems to manifest itself as personality.

However, there was a moment when the stubbornness finally broke.

In the ear of Sung-cheol Kim, the dwarf king's solemn cry echoes like a hallucination.

“Do you think I trusted you because I was a fool? I knew everything. Nevertheless, they all closed their eyes! ”

Among the memories about the Dwarf Kingdom, the memory reaches more vividly than anything else.

The Dwarf Kingdom's Kingdom.

It was when Arm Garaz, who was always hanging on the Dwarven Monarch's throne, was handed over to Kim Sung-cheol.

“But if you carry an arm karaz, I will no longer forgive you. Sung-cheol Kim!!! ”

Kim Sung-cheol remembers.

The face of an old comrade who stared at himself with a puffy beard.

It was something called Garaz to sell to Dwarves.

Arm Garaz is worth breaking a man's stubbornness so lightly that he never breaks it.

At that time, Kim Sung-cheol had to have a meeting about his choice for the first time.

But at that time, there was no other way for Kim Sung-cheol.

He needed Arm Karaz.

Kim Sung-cheol left the city with an arm karaz.

The next day, a new curse appeared in Kim Sung-cheol's curse, describing the Dwarf's desire.

It was a moment when all Dwarves perceived Kim Sung-cheol as their sworn enemy.

“... I don't think the Dwarves will be swearing when they hear about you. ”

“ ……. ”

Bertelgia, who heard Kim Sung-cheol's story, nodded lightly and muttered.

“There were times when the smasher acted fairly warlike. ”

Marrakia suddenly appeared, unlike Bertelkia.

Kim Sung-cheol closed his eyes and poured out a glass.

“… the only member of the World Congress I think I owe is the Dwarf King. Of course, Arm Garage couldn't be used for more than decoration if it was in Dynkraft's hands. ”

Even without such a personal situation, Kim Sung-cheol would have headed for Dwarf territory.

Because he's different.

With the powers of the past, no matter how many people died for their own comfort.

“A few more steps and the entrance to the Royal Road will open. ”

Akkad came out to the deck and spoke to Kim Sung-cheol.

He was responsible for guiding Sung-cheol Kim into the Dwarf kingdom.

Nothing has been decided yet, but Kim Sung-cheol agreed to cooperate actively when he said he would look at the situation of the Dwarf Kingdom and judge it.

Within the Dwarf Kingdom, Kim Sung-cheol will act as an unnamed attendant of Akkad.

“Don't worry, I'll do an ID check from here. Even more than that, a group of heretics reached out to the Dwarf Kingdom... I can't forgive it. ”

At some point, Taigon, a member of Sylphide's crew, joined the expedition. Although useless in battle, a high position as Chief Inquisitor of the Mura Cult would be helpful in such situations.

Embracing their own agenda, Sylphide arrives at a city formed under a giant rock mountain.

The capital of the Dwarf Kingdom. Da 'in 'Tight.

It's an unseemly city.

“Hmm. This is the capital of dwarves? I don't think that's very impressive. ”

Bertelkia looks at the views of the Dynasty and says,

Obviously, this city has nothing to do with the naked eye.

There aren't many buildings and there's a lot of empty spaces.

However, the true value of the Dynasty is not found outside the mountain, but inside the mountain.

Bertelkia cancels what she just said when she enters the giant cave with her black mouth open.

Inside the long cave, there was an unstoppably large space, even in another world.

A giant cavity dug by Dwarves for thousands of years.

Under a thick rock, a large city was exposed by artificial light to a majestic presence.

“Wow. This is a dwarf city? That's really cool. It looks a lot bigger than Joyne Kingdom. ”

Bertelgia couldn't help but admire.

“Hmph! What's bigger than our kingdom? It's a sham to me. ”

Marrakia has built her pride, but on a scale like this, it is undeniable that the Dwarves are much bigger.

Sylphide docks in a harbor above a dense cliff of aircraft and mobile fortresses.

Unlike other cities going up and down by utensils, the Dwarf port has been forced to move up and down the aircraft's amphibious prefecture, operating on mechanical principles.

After closing the fold, a group of dwarf soldiers arrive.

“The search process has been enhanced recently. Make sure you surround them in advance. ”

As Akkad said, the search process for Dwarves was difficult. They ran background checks on one person, as well as human wizards, to run stats checks on individuals.

Thanks to this, Kim Sung-cheol not only transformed his face in a long time, but also activated the deceitful's veil.

“Hmm.”

The skinny female wizard narrowed his eyes and examined Kim Sung-cheol's abilities.

A text popped into her eyes as the sorcery group rose within her eyes.

[Impairment Stats]

Strength 300 Agility 18 HP 38

Magic Power 10 Intuition 5 Magic Resistance 18

Will 28 Charm 18 Luck 18

The tent of the deceiver has been active for a long time.

“Mr. Steel? ”

The female wizard asked as she looked at Kim Sung-cheol's face that had been deformed into a flounder.

“Yes.”

“You're strangely strong. ”

“I don't know anything else, but I'm confident in my power. ”

Kim Sung-cheol replied with a voice that was different than usual.

The female wizard glanced at Kim Sung-cheol's energetic face and moved on to the next batch.

The next waiter was a giant enough to provoke the female wizard.

“Mr. Tygon Bosborough! It's such an honor to meet you here. ”

While she was surprised, Kim Sung-cheol quickly left the pier with Akkad.

I made it safely to the Dynasty.

Akkad and Taigon.

Next, it's time to go to the Dwarf Royal in question.

Kim Sung-cheol himself wanted to see the status of the Dwarf kingdom, the state of the kingdom, and the hordes of the Apocalypse.

‘The decision can then be made. ’

It was time to think about it and turn around.

“What is a deformation? ”

Vertelgia asks a blunt question.

“It's just a given name. ”

“Hmm-hmm... ”

“Is there a problem? ”

“No, I feel weird. It's like that. It's all about strength...”

Hearing that, Kim Sung-cheol thought to himself.

And that's why the fastest way to find out...

Akkad, who was ahead, urges the group.

“What are you guys doing? Let's move quickly.”

Kim Sung-cheol quickly followed Akkad with a hoodie. Fortunately, Bertelgia no longer cared about Kim Sung-cheol's alias. It's because Dwarf ports have a lot to see.

Marrakia remained in Sylphide.

It is the only uniquely active joint on the continent, so it is easy to see and its name spreads quickly, so it is not suitable for this type of infiltration mission.

Sylphide has a few miniature golems controlled by Taigon's minions and adra, including Marakia, just in case.

“By the way, when you said you risked your life to come here yesterday, is it okay to enter the castle? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked, following Akkad's fast walking legs.

“If I were to bring you here in public in front of His Majesty, my head would be blown off. You disobeyed the king's order. But right now, I'm just a dwarf on vacation. ”

After being freed from the Punishment Force, Akkad appears to have won a victory in the Dwarf Kingdom. Especially when the Giants are sweeping the north of the continent, they have been appointed as my Quick Advancement and Proximity Warriors.

It was therefore easier to infiltrate the kingdom than to pass through the inspection of the Daintheid ports.

But the size of the Dynasty's palace was truly enormous. The entire palace is divided into strict zones like Lagrange, making it easy to enter the lower zones, but not easy to get to the upper zones.

Especially in the area where the royal family lives, only the royal families who know each other's faces can enter.

However, not only is it very frustrating, it opens up the king's throne room four times a week.

That day, all Dwarves and other factions with certain identities can enter the throne room and observe the king's duties without discrimination.

Today is one of those days when the throne room opens.

One of Ackard's sons was managing the list of visitors to the throne room.

“No, Father. After talking like a dying man and sneaking away, did he come back already? ”

My son, who looks just like Akkad, was surprised and asked.

“No, no one dies! Put me on this guy's list right now! ”

Akkad's son, who heard Akkad's cry, looked at Sung-cheol Kim with a trembling face and asked about Sinmyung Se.

“What's your name? ”

“Kim Sung... no... it's a deformation. ”

I almost got in trouble.

Bertella shakes in her pocket, allowing her to correct herself.

“Mr. Steel? Hmm."

“Is there a problem? ”

“Are you a Summoner?”

“That's right.”

“That's a powerful name. ”

“… I'm a little confident in my power. ”

It was when I was talking about it.

A group of people walk across the hall toward the throne room. There are vicious guards everywhere with axes, but no one stops them.

Kim Sung-cheol raised his head and looked at the crowd.

Those things. ’

A crowd dressed in black robes.

It's the Apocalypse.

Among them, there was a face Kim Sung-cheol knew.

A beautiful girl with a silver mask covering her half face.

‘Sarah.'

Called the Masked Saint, she enters the Throne Room with a crowd dressed in black robes.

“What's the matter? Is there a problem? ”

Bertelkia asked Kim Sung-cheol carefully.

“No, it's nothing. ”

I was about to say that.

Another group passed in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

I know that face again.

But it's an unexpected crowd.

A man wearing a mask made of indecipherable letters and wearing a robe of various colors went to the throne room with a similar complexion.

‘Aquaroa.’

It is within our reach that the Apocalypse is within the Dwarf court. But an unexpected, unavoidable crowd sits within the dwarf court.

Diplomacy among countries in the World Congress can be free among countries in the World Congress, but diplomacy against countries not in Congress - countries classified as foreign - is held in the name of the World Congress.

Otherwise, the existence of the World Congress itself becomes famous.

However, Aquaroa, the Wandering King's servant, appeared to Kim Sung-cheol, chairman of the World Congress, without any notice, to the foreign classified Dwarf kingdom.

He's up to something.

Something Kim Sung-cheol shouldn't see, something he shouldn't know.

The Wandering King and Aquaroa. They are a group marked with a question mark.

In particular, there have been a few bad stories with Aquaroa.

After filling out the paperwork, Kim Sung-cheol turned around and muttered in a low voice.

“I think I'm glad you're here. ”

Akkad was a valued guest.
