Upon entering the hole, the old man removed something like a round black bottle from his bosom.

"This is a gunpowder, a secret drug that knows only a small part of the dwarf tribe. It can explode when packed in a tube and set on fire."

"It's a bomb."

"Detailed, you"

"I loved research in many ways."

I heard from Eve that there are no guns in this world yet, but I thought there was gunpowder.

Alchemy seems to be developing, and gunpowder may have been invented long ago.

However, the reason that it evolved and did not become a gun is probably because of the development of magic.

The magic that can reproduce the powerful blows of guns seems to have greatly slowed the development of science. With that consideration, the old man ignites the bomb. The fuse rang.

"Go away, explode immediately."

You can imagine the power of the bombs, lower Jeanne and Eve and defend them with cloaks. The bomb exploded a few seconds later gave bombs and dust, as you might imagine.

The smoke prevented them from being soiled, but the old man was in front of me for some reason.

He smiled when he showed his dusty face here.

"I wanted to see how it exploded and how the hole collapsed."

And take off the goggles attached to the head. For the first time he greets.

"How are you?

"Dwarf Chief !?"

This was surprising. This is what we hope and come true. I'm here to meet him. Observe him again. A fine white beard with gray hair. And a body like a beer barrel. It looks exactly like a dwarf like a fairy tale. However, they are no different from humans, except that they are hungry and have short limbs. It seems difficult to distinguish dwarves from humans. The dwarf wearing goggles said he would wear goggles on his head.

"By the way, you and the maid there are demons, and the blonde lady is human, but are you from the Demon Army?"

It is irrational and meaningless to hide it here.

I thought so and said honestly, "Yes, but we don't want control like Eligos. We want cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

"Now my castle is expanding. I'm building a city where all races from all over the world come together. I've asked for help from the dwarves to help build that city."

"I see, that's a great idea. The Demon King has never been cut off in this world, but there are few Demon Kings who want to co-exist with humans and sub-humans like you. I really liked it. U "

The old man breaks his face, but drops his shoulders immediately.

"I want to say ... but you'll see, you know. The settlement in this land has been invaded by Eligos. They were surprised and killed many friends."

"Is all dead?"

"Half was able to escape to this mine. It's a maze and there's a bomb as before, so you can't get inside, but there's a problem."

"What is the problem?"

"It's food. Water is okay because it has underground water, but there's no stockpile. Originally, this mine was a dwarf workplace, and a castle isn't supposed."

"So that's it"

"So sometimes I use the loopholes to get out and collect food, but there are limits."

"And how long do you have?"

"Yes, it's like a week."

"How many dwarf warriors remain?"

"The earthy dwarves are a benign race; few warriors are dedicated, but they are miners. Their pickaxes will even pass dragon scales."

"It means you are strong."

Eve puts it together.

"That's right. I'm worried that I have no experience in battle, but I can't say luxury at this time."

"Certainly"

I look at Eve and Jeanne alternately and ask them. Would you like to fight and fight this old man, no, dwarf? When I asked them from a glance, they understood each other. Eve bows humblely. Jeanne nods. Eve had loyalty, and Jeanne had the mercy of serving God.

The decision was made, but the question was whether the old man would accept it.

No, he would accept it, but the problem was whether he would come under my command.

It would be possible to kick off the Eligos Sentai, but it required the assumption that the dwarven men would cooperate.

Is this old man, the dwarven patriarch Godlieb, capable of giving me command?

Will you trust me? I care about it. I'm worried, but things just don't work. I decided to ask him directly. To be straightforward.

"Godlieve, I'm sorry to say that I'm sorry. I'm confident that this crisis will save the Dwarven people. It requires the Dwarven men to come together and follow me. Will you follow the strategy presented?

According to lore, the dwarves have a high self-esteem and are more stubborn than granite, but what about this old man?

Far from being reluctant, there is a possibility that it may be declined below. In that case, simply give up and leave here. I am a realist. It was not a job to care for a stubborn old man. There is no benefit to working with a patriarch who does not have a flexible mindset. Despite such cold thoughts, the dwarven patriarch was a talented man.

"The battle against the devils was just fine. If you take command, I will give you all the control of the eagle. If the young dwarves do not obey, I will add Tekken sanctions. Please don't hesitate to ask. "

"... Thank you."

I was ashamed that I was skeptical of this old man even for a moment.

Godlieb, the dwarf patriarch, is a man who calmly guides the people after a surprise attack by Eligos, escapes into the pit, and then stops the invasion for weeks.

He has a wonderful strategic eye.

If such a man would cooperate, it would not be impossible to defeat the Eligos Senator.

I immediately began to develop strategies and plots, but I was laughed at by Godleab.

"It's fine to strategize, but it's cramped in such a narrow space. I'd like to explain to the dwarven people that reinforcements have arrived, and guide them through the settlements deep in the pit. Introducing the strongest demon to the people Want to"

"I'm afraid"

Having forgotten, it would not be a gentleman to keep a young maiden in such a dark and dusty place.

The ashes have a bad effect on the human body.

Even if I can endure as a demon king, it must be hard for Jeanne and a weak eve. And I feel tired from the previous fight.

The dwarven settlements are not rich in food, but they have plenty of water. It is not bad to boil it and drink tea with the tea leaves that Eve brought. I thought so and went down the mine, being guided by the Dwarven Chief. The tunnel is like a maze. I felt like I knew why Eligos was attacking.
