Running Away From The Hero!

Dwarves behave strangely.

“Are you here?”

“The construction is almost over. ”

“The Elder of Honor should remain silent. ”

“Yes. I can't have dirt splinters in the hands of the Elder of Fame. ”

“We'll put an end to this. The Elder of Honor just needs to rest. ”

- What's wrong with working hard?

What's weird?

- Of course it's weird to say you work hard.

- What about it?

- There's no reason.

Labor is something I don't always want to do.

No matter how much you like it, you will realize the moment it becomes your job.

Oh, it's work.

No matter how much you like it, it's hard being a professional!

Like the frustration of pro-gamers because they like games.

It's good to draw like a frustrated professional illustrator.

I became a writer because writing was fun, but like a writer, I suffer from being hit by deadlines every day!

- Something real?

- Right?

Somehow I felt empathetic at the end.

Well, I don't think it's a big deal.

- So they're working hard because they have other plans!

- Why would you think that? Maybe the Dwarves are working hard. Trust my father!

- Yes, I believe in Dwarves. And on a believing axe is stamping the top of your foot.

- Aanit!

I don't believe in Dwarves.

Imagine you're after my head.

What can Dwarves do in their current state?

First of all, the worst case.

There were times when dwarves were communicating with the Empire.

In the days of Eugracia, the Empress told me herself that she was watching over Dwarves and other xenophobes.

Of course, in this case, the Empire has infiltrated through a secret Dwarf passageway that the Empire may not know about.

Since then, the Demon King wouldn't have been able to easily notice the empire that was blocking the Dwarves from entering and exiting.

Well... If you suddenly hear reports that Dwarves are starting to build walls, you'll be suspicious.

Of course, in the course of the construction, all the merchants were denied access.

The supplies and transactions were also agreed to proceed outside the walls and if there were any problems, they were advised that they would not trade.

It's food and drink that Dwarves need anyway.

After checking the food storage, there were about a year or two worth of food, and if I save my food, I could survive up to three years.

Even if it's an empire, the Dwarves' position won't make it through that easily.

It was time for the wall to be completed by the time those with authority could not come.

Breaking through these walls, like the Great War Weapons, is hard enough for dragons!

There are warriors, like them, that look like a combat gauge, but a dragon is a dragon.

Who can break through the walls of the dragon, the most powerful creature on earth, if not a warrior or a Demon King?

- Seems like a lot of them around the owner.

- Umm... I see...?

Could it have been because of the feeling that a dozen people suddenly passed through my head?

It must be the mood, right?

It should be because of the mood.

- It's not the mood, is it?

- Maybe the Demon King is a force to defend the world.

The trademark of the Humans is technology, weakness, and effort.

We overcome the limitations of the Humans with skill and effort!

It was a characteristic of the human race, and it was also a reason for the large numbers.

All the Dwarves in this Black Anvil clan, one of the 12 tribes, add up to a level slightly over 300.

Although not all members of the clan live here, we know that even if all the members of the clan come together, the cloth will not go beyond it.

If you average the Black Anvil Clan, you'll need to hit the Dwarves as many as 12,000.

As a human, the dwarves have the smallest number of people in the area.

There were more of them than Dwarves, but fewer of them, and more of them than Demibeasts, but we have to beat them to the next level of the Human Kingdom.

Nevertheless, what was being balanced was that the average fighting strength was much stronger for the other factions, and the gods intervened when the balance was about to break.

But now humans have become too powerful.

The warrior slapped the dragon and the dragon alone, and Mira just slapped the warrior like that.

And there are those beneath Mira who are not outmatched by warriors, so if you have the heart, you can expedite even dragons!

At this rate, the Demon King was not destroying the world, but balancing it.

- Oh, yeah?

It was a situation I had to admit.

Shit! Not like this.

The dragon asked for a wall to stop it, and I was relieved that the Dwarves were proceeding as planned. Even if the Dwarves didn't have a backbone now, they could purely push through that wall with human power.

Are you watching, []? Humans are not as weak as you say!

“Different!”

“Yes, Elder Honor. ”

First, I called Darman, who has suffered my allegiance since I surrendered to Iron Pawl.

“What are the elders doing? ”

“The elders are building weapons for the walls. ”

“Is that so?"

When I think about it, I remember asking you to make ballistas, new mechanisms, and all sorts of weapons through iron picking.

I asked you to make me a magical grape that I used well in Horse Continent.

Once completed, the dragon will be able to build a castle to slap.

“Dar, gather all the elders. It's not urgent, so if you're working, don't interrupt. ”

“I understand.”

I decided to keep track of the progress of making weapons and gather the elders to give further instructions.

After an hour.

I smiled at the elders who arrived earlier than I expected.

“Good work.”

I was praising him with a smile because he was really working hard, but his reaction was different from what I expected.

“Ooh, what did we do wrong? ”

“If you've done something wrong, don't laugh at me. ”

“Is it because things are running late? I'll work harder. ”

- What's the owner's image?

- This isn't my fault?

I just laughed so purely. What kind of reaction is that?

Even though I am trained in the organization of evil, I am slightly hurt.

“Did you do something wrong? I just said I was doing my job purely. ”

But tolerant I endured.

It was because they decided that it was more profitable to think about the future and endure their hard work, even though they could hit the iron bars separately.

However,

“Well, wouldn't that be possible? ”

“What could we possibly have done wrong, working so hard to make weapons? ”

“That's right. We're dwarves who like to make weapons! ”

The elders urgently said something very suspicious.

Especially the last words that disregard the Black Anvil ideology.

The Black Anvils were careful not to build weapons, not weapons!

“Is that so?”

But you don't have to say it yourself. I don't have to give the impression that I'm suspicious.

Obtain concrete evidence by making them sneak behind their backs.

After that, it was even more brutal to push.

“Not only that, but I wanted to know how well the weapons I had envisioned were completed. ”

In the case of ballistas, it was a weapon that existed in this world, but it was not a magical weapon in the Wonderland or Horse Continent.

In the case of Magic Cannons, there were similar weapons, but human standards required the difference between a shotgun and a purple cannon compared to a horsepower horsepower that was naturally strong, and in the case of a new mechanism, the gunpowder had to be switched to magical power.

Of course, I was able to give you a rough idea of what shape I was and what power I was able to produce about the structure of the new mechanism that uses human standard magic cannons and gunpowder.

A true X level that asks DoX Edmont for items!

But our great XraeX dwarves have done me a great service at X-level.

“In the case of Magic Cannons, we are almost finished looking for records that say the dwarves made something similar in the past. ”

“The new mechanisms are almost complete, too. It's very annoying to fire arrows with magical power, but it sure would be an advantage to be able to fire hundreds of arrows in a single strike. ”

“It's a ballista. Sometimes it's made, so it's done. ”

The Dwarves, too, were a Black Anvil.

“Is that so?”

Is it because I didn't see any sign of suspicion?

The dwarf elders sigh, expressing that they had succeeded in perfecting their speech.

“That's right. It's not a job for the elders of our Black Anvil to get caught. ”

“Of course. How long have we been tapping iron? ”

“Easy! Easy! ”

I smiled as they spoke confidently.

What a clan of artisans!

After hundreds of years of living, you don't realize I doubt them!

- How angry will the dads be when they find out that they are being favored by the owner...?

The weapon they call their father is actually less angry than the evil god.

Dwarves will choose to live as favors rather than let evil gods descend upon the earth.

“Oh, and there was one more thing to say. ”

“What?”

“Just say the word. ”

“I'll make anything I want to make! ”

The elders asked me to tell them what I had confidence in.

“Oh, well, first of all, please make a weapon that can strike dragons. ”

I did not refuse, but said the weapon I wanted.

However,

“Isn't that already there? ”

“Yes?”

“You're there. ”

“If a dragon hits that, it'll end up in one shot. ”

“It sounds blasphemous, but even a god cannot overcome that pain. ”

“Oh, yeah. Of course!”

He has already made such a weapon and says I have it.

Is that...?

“Is this what you mean? ”

“Uwitt!”

With a strange sound, the iron pick's hand rises.

“Yes, of course. ”

“You can beat a dragon with a pickax. ”

“That's right. What can't you win if you can't hit it?" ”

It was a proud word. At the same time, his expression was full of self-awareness.

Proud and selfish at the same time.

I need you to do one thing for me.

“Is that so…? ”

When I think about it, it would be possible for a dragon to be struck down if it could be hit separately.

But that's not what I was saying.

“I need another weapon, not a metal one. ”

“Well, what are you talking about, you! ”

“You're not even satisfied with the iron! What are you up against? ”

“A god? You're finally fighting with a god! ”

Everything I said when I got up wasn't normal.

Especially if you're gonna fight God at the end.

That's what I didn't say when I was in high school during my third grade: hurricane rage, middle class, and first grade.

“Are you out of your mind?”

“We? Why? ”

“I never thought I'd hear that from you. ”

“Hectare of the Devil's Hands, no one else, I didn't think you'd say that. ”

- You want to fight this?

This is the product of the owner's usual behavior.

I don't know what they're doing to me.

“I'm not fighting God, I'm fighting the Demon King. Why would I fight God? ”

But once I was outnumbered, I decided to step back.

“Is the Demon King really that strong? ”

The dwarf elder gives me a nod.

“Immunity against ironborn. ”

“Well, that's impossible! ”

“I can't believe it! ”

“The Demon King is so strong! Is it really evil to destroy the world? ”

The atmosphere changed.

I just said the iron pickers didn't work, but the dwarves became afraid of the Demon King.

“Hetare fears the evil hand. ”

“The name of the Demon King wasn't an alias. ”

“I understand what you're trying to say. ”

Seeing the dwarves nodding with a serious face, I nodded as well.

“The Demon King is the enemy of the world. Cheer up for the world. ”

“I see.”

I will build a weapon against the Demon King.

Looking back at the determined Dwarves,

“Now we have to investigate. ”

“Who? The Demon King? Or the Queen Dowager? ”

Wrong.

They became unknowable even if they didn't want to know.

From now on, I have to investigate.

“Elders, and dwarves. ”

“Huh?”

“I insist as a pro at running away. Those bastards are coming soon. ”

“Huh?”

I couldn't understand his expression, but I was sure.

And as I expected, the Dwarves fled. I had no idea it was all in my calculations! 33. This too will pass (5)

# 3 Their Reason: What kind of Dwarf Reason

This place was hell.

“Move quickly! ”

“You haven't fulfilled your quota yet! ”

“Slow! We still have a lot of work to do! ”

There are nasty voices protruding from everywhere.

This was just the usual routine.

It was the blacksmith's job to risk his life for one mistake.

Every time I worked, I had to be careful, and it was everyday to take all kinds of insults for one mistake.

But what we were doing now was not being blacksmiths.

“Move the bricks quickly! ”

It was a job as a laborer.

“Joe, take a little break.... ”

“I've been working for five hours now, Joe. ”

“Ahhh! I wonder if I can say that in front of the iron bars! ”

“Aah!”

“I'll work! I'll work now!" ”

Dwarves carrying rocks screaming.

It was unfamiliar, but not completely unfamiliar.

The Dwarves are talented not only in weapons but also in architecture.

Occasionally, it was not a routine thing to build, but it was not the first time I had experienced, because I was asked by the empire and the kingdom to interact to build various facilities.

But there's only one reason to call this place hell.

“Break! Dinner time! ”

“D-finally…. ”

“You should eat as slowly as possible. ”

“Slow as you can, save as much time as you can. ”

It was because there were Dwarves with tears of joy in their words, "Lunchtime."

“I want a cold beer. ”

“Me too……. ”

“When does the job end? ”

“I don't know……. At this rate, it won't take long, but.... ”

“We can do other things after the Wall is finished. ”

“I hear the hammer never ends, does it? ”

“I heard the same goes for building walls. I heard you're drawing magic on every single brick. ”

“One at a time? Are you crazy? ”

“The opponent is Hectare. It's possible enough. ”

“Damn……! ”

This sounds crazy, but Hectare is enough.

The Elders listened to Hector's request for this madness in the first place.

Of course, I couldn't blame the elders.

We were the ones who abandoned the elders, and Hector threatened us for it.

If he threatened the iron separately, he would have no choice.

So all of this was because of the evil hand of Hector.

If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had to do this shit!

“Are you all working hard? ”

“Welcome, Elder Honor! ”

At that moment, my whole body was creeped out by the words I heard behind my back.

Hectare looks at us as very satisfied as we stand up, putting down our reflexively eaten foods.

“Hard work and eating is the best. Isn't that right?"

“Yes!”

“Excellent!”

“I've never had such a delicious meal! ”

Hectare nods satisfactorily as we answer with a wide smile.

“It's a good heart. With that in mind, quickly complete the wall. This is for the world. ”

“I understand!”

“Here's to the world! ”

“Three, for the world! ”

“For the world! ”

Hectare taps our backs twice and moves to the other dwarves.

“Ahh... ”

“I thought I was going to die.... ”

I still felt like I was getting chicken fat all over me.

“Bar, let's just eat. ”

“Yes."

We can't complain about Hectare because there's still one nearby.

He was the honorary Dwarf Elder and Master of Iron Pavement.

The elders are the only Dwarves who can face him in his position, and there are no Dwarves who can face him with force.

As an ordinary dwarf who lacked position and strength, he was not capable of winning.

“But once this wall is completed... we can be set free, right? ”

I've only been on the job a week.

It is a short time, but the walls of the monasteries of the small kingdom are already piled high.

But Hectare was not satisfied.

Bigger, thicker.

Hectare was trying to build the continent, or the largest barrier in the world, in a Dwarf village that had not even built a fence.

“No matter how hard you try to fight the Demon King... I think this is too much..." ”

The Demon King, who wants to destroy the world according to the will of the Evil God, is only born in the human body.

Some dragons claimed that the Demon King could not appear if they were extinct because they were the most evil creatures. The Demon King and the Evil God were the object of the horror of everyone in the world.

It was because when I became the Demon King, I gained the power to transcend man by the power of evil gods and the power to control the forces of evil gods.

An unknown strength.

The Demon King had such power.

Therefore, it must be right to be careful and careful.

But... it was clear that the Demon King's body was a human body.

You don't have wings, you don't have a few hundred meters tall. Why do you have to build walls this high?

It would be natural to have such questions.

“This is my guess... …. ”

“What?”

First, he looks carefully at the presence of Hectare around him, confirming his absence, and then gives his opinion in a very small voice.

“From what I understand, Hectare was photographed by the Empire Empress. ”

“Empire princess? ”

“Isn't she intimate with Hectare? ”

“I don't know. Hectare could have been a wreck. ”

“Haha……. Hectare's got a piece of metal. Even if we are close, the princess could try to kill Hector. ”

“Hectare did hectare. ”

It was a moment when my head nodded naturally.

Even the priests of the god of peace will lose their minds at the exact moment of their defeat.

I can be sure.

Even if the empire princess, called the Iron Blood Monarch, is as cold as someone with the blood of steel.

No, even if you have blood made of mystical metal called Miracle Metal beyond steel!

He'll lose his mind and try to kill the guy who hit him.

“No way... Are you trying to stop the Empire army from here!?" ”

“Yes. Hectare isn't the only one who thinks about the Demon King. He's an evil handed hectare. There's no reason for an evil creature like him to fight the Demon King. ”

“Well……. ”

“Hetareni has more evil spirits than the Demon King……. ”

“There's no reason for similar beings to fight. ”

Everyone nods at Februs' words. It was convincing enough.

“You'll block the Demon King's attack with the Wall and watch the Demon King and the others fight outside. ”

“Hectare would drink a cold beer watching the fierce battles of the Demon King and the Warriors. ”

“Is that all? Perhaps he will wager against the Demon King and his warriors. ”

“No. Hectare is more of a gambler than a gambler, and he only takes money for commission. ”

“I see. Hectare was closer to you. ”

“Hectare didn't like gambling, though. I keep telling myself it's stupid to bet on the odds of not being sure. ”

Hectare was like that.

Who doesn't care if he or she is not included in even the most serious things.

He would give up the possibility of getting 10 at any time if there was even a possibility of 1 being a risk to himself even if he could get 10 through the effort of 1.

“In any case, Hectare might be thinking about since he fought the Demon King. ”

Februs says we pause for a moment and think.

It was definitely a persuasive word.

However,

“Food?”

“Support?”

“I can't live here without selling tools. ”

There was only one reason we sold weapons and other magic tools to humans.

It was for survival.

The area was mostly agriculturally unavailable, with mountains, but only half of them had access to sugarcane, so there was a limit to self-sufficiency in the mountains.

And most importantly, the Dwarves were not the ones who enjoyed farming or hunting in the first place.

They wanted to beat a little bit more iron and hone their skills.

That's why I was selling some of the products I made periodically to reliable humans, and in return I was supported by living supplies, including food.

“It's not like there's no way to survive without human support, right? ”

Februs argued with me.

“Yes. We cannot rely on humans. ”

Obviously, as Februs said, we were already prepared for how to live in a situation without human support.

It is because the moment we rely on humans completely, greedy humans will clearly threaten us with food in order to create a stronger weapon.

“However, we did not anticipate a way for the Imperial Army to survive while surrounding the walls. ”

If that had been the case in the first place, the whole clan would have fought and died.

Sometimes greedy Humans threatened us, but our ancestors risked their lives to protect our technology.

But this time it's different.

Humans that the Empire wants are evil handed hectares.

We were just building a wall of metal against him.

“Th-that's... ”

“The supplies run dry and die trapped in the walls. This kind of thing is more human than we are. ”

“That's right."

“Does Hectare not know that? The opponent is an evil touch. ”

A symbol of evil.

Hectare did not seem to have made such a mistake, perhaps more sinister than an evil god.

“Rather, they could be planning something for it. ”

Hectare, an evil hand, could be up to something.

“Or maybe it has nothing to do with the Empire at all. ”

“Is that so…? ”

Februs nods with a slightly blurry face. It was because it was wrong to think hard and say it.

“But that was a good point. ”

The more information you have about Hectare, the better.

It was because our Dwarf fugitive alliance was all precious, even a little bit more.

“Dinner time is over! ”

After a while, I heard a voice saying that the meal time was over.

“Meal time? ”

“Is that what happened? ”

As you tilt your head to see more than half of the meal, the dwarves who had already surrendered to the Iron Pawl shouted in a loud voice.

“With the slow progress of the work, I decided to finish my meal in 20 minutes. ”

“Well, I can't.... ”

The meal time that gave us at least 40 minutes and at most an hour is over.

Half of the time we can rest has been reduced by a third.

“Oh my... ”

“Those who fail to keep their meal time will meet with the honorary Elder Hectare, Iron Paw! ”

Hectares, and iron bars.

Interviewing with the combination is unlikely.

It must have been a terrible... painful interview to imprint on the soul.

“Today I will give you the chance to finish your meal for one minute at the mercy of the honorable Elder Hectare! ”

One minute. We still have half a meal left.

However, if we did not eat this, hard labor would be more difficult.

Then we were able to eat food, including urgently distributed bread, and finish our meal by drinking water.

But that was all Hectare was after.

“You finish half your meal in a minute. ”

“Honorable Elder! ”

It was a step like a ghost.

Hectare nods with a very satisfied face, secretly approaching our backs like an assassin.

“It won't take me 20 minutes to eat. ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

We had to look at Hectare with trembling eyes. It was because he had a silver long stick in his hand.

“Th-that's... th-that's... ”

We glanced at the silver horseman in Hectare's hand, sweating cold.

If that thing moves....

“Meal time is 10 minutes. Is that possible?”

“Yes, yep…. ”

Fortunately, nothing moves from Hectare's hand.

But we lost our precious 10 minutes of rest.

But I had to endure it.

See, See, Also See.

I endured until the wall was completed, endured until all sorts of weapons were spread there, and even if the dragons came, I met Hectare's conditions that were not satisfied even though the palace was completed to defeat him.

And we were so desperate for opportunity,

“I can no longer stand Hectare's tyranny! ”

“Wooooo!”

“But I can't be bothered by iron pickers! ”

“Wooooo!”

“So... just fly! ”

I abandoned my hometown and chose to flee.
