Chapter: 107
"...Snow Drake?"
-Huh?
-The legendary field boss, huh?
-Wasn't the yeti the giant of the snowy mountains?
-Nope, the yeti was just an elite.
-The legend records ntion the Snow Drake.
A legend from an ancient quest. It was said that a Snow Drake was discovered in the snowy mountains of Ifrit long ago.
However, the boss-level monster that players found was a giant of the snowy mountains called a yeti.
So people tried to find it, but they found nothing.
"It's a terrible monster." Gorik's expression darkened as he continued his explanation in a fearful voice. "It freezes everything around it, and its roar can instantly knock you unconscious. I only realized I had been attacked after I ca to."
After escaping from the dwarven village, Gorik had headed towards the familiar snowy mountains. He had fallen into a crevasse and ended up in the Snow Drake's lair.
"It's a real monster? Can we defeat it?"
"I don't know. It might be difficult."
"...If you say it's difficult, how strong is it?"
Hanbit's honest words made Kim Jaeha nervous.
However, he couldn't think of anything else to say.
The wall was simply too high to confront the Snow Drake with the intention of actually "defeating" it.
"Do you know its location?"
"I'm not sure now because the crevasse is blocked. But if we search the highest peak of the snowy mountains thoroughly, we might find it. After entering the lair, I'll use my token to confirm the location of the heirloom."
-Huh?
-You revealed the location?
-Oh no.
-Ergency, ergency.
-Let's go first~
The Snow Drake's location was revealed too naturally.
This information would probably spread to other players in no ti.
However, Hanbit had no intention of rushing.
"Then let's go tomorrow. There's no need to delay."
"...Are you not afraid of death?"
Gorik sighed at the nonchalant conversation.
Considering the danger of the Snow Drake, it was almost like suicide.
Of course, Hanbit's answer hadn't changed at all.
"Please think of how important your power is. Anyway, let's leave tomorrow, and let's go back to the village."
"No, I'm not going yet. I still have things to think about..."
Kim Jaeha interrupted Gorik, who was trying to refuse.
Then, he began to push Gorik towards the village.
"Don't push ! I have a lot to think about before I go back!"
"Think about it on the way."
The two continued forward, bickering.
It was a sight Hanbit had never seen before.
-Look at Hamr's charisma.
-It's like a sitcom. ㅋㅋㅋ
-I guess old grudges are the worst.
"...Are they a good match?"
Hanbit didn't know for sure, but if their teamwork was good, it was a positive sign.
After all, they would eventually beco master and disciple.
Satisfied, Hanbit followed them.
Ding-!
[Sub-quest #2 completed.]
[Sub-quest #3 unlocked.]
[Sub-quest #3]
You have successfully negotiated with Gorik.
Now, only one thing remains.
To help him regain his lost royal power.
Objective: Help Gorik recover the dwarven heirloom.
Reward: Sub-quest settlent
A simple and clear sub-quest description.
Once this is completed, the episode will be much more enjoyable.
And if Kim Jaeha also acquires tallurgy skills, one of the most important goals will be achieved.
Ding-!
An alarm sounded again.
It was a ssage from Yeonwoo.
He turned the screen and checked the contents.
「Roper」
「Hyung, it seems like people are gathering because of the dwarven tallurgy. Be careful.」
It was the sa news Luna had sent a few hours ago. I realized how quickly she had inford as an advanced team player.
"You're back!"
As we returned to the village, the dwarves sward around us.
"Your Highness! Please hear us out!"
"That's right! There seems to be a misunderstanding!"
"The truth is, we had no choice because of our financial situation..."
Bang-!
Suddenly, a loud thud shook the ground. It was the sound of Kudran, standing at the entrance of the village, slamming his hamr on the ground.
"Are you going to abandon even the last bit of pride of a blacksmith?"
He glared at the villagers with fiery eyes.
It was everyone's choice to abandon their long-standing tradition and pursue money. For Kudran, who had stayed away from alcohol and pleasure to forge iron, they were all the sa.
-Powerful ㄷㄷ
-But couldn't they help it?
-That was a bit too much.
-Seeing how they were so desperate for money...
"Hoo."
Gorik sighed briefly, looking at them.
This debate had happened before, but now was the ti for everyone to change.
"Your hamrs belong to no one else. Don't shift any responsibility or consequences onto others. I will do the sa."
"..."
The dwarves were speechless at the prince's words. They couldn't refute him because he had hit the nail on the head.
"Kudran, will you learn the royal techniques?"
Gorik asked the dwarf who had always been dedicated to his craft.
But Kudran shook his head.
"No! I want to reach the top through my own efforts!"
"Even if you learn this technique, you'll still need to work hard. It's just knowledge."
"That's fine! I can develop my own techniques!"
He declared his ambition in a confident voice.
"...I see."
Gorik smiled faintly at the expected response. The stubbornness in him hadn't changed over ti.
"Leave the village. I'll make my own workshop."
Gorik turned around, giving an order filled with warning.
Then he pointed at Kim Jaeha.
"Follow . I'll teach you."
"Right now?"
"If you want to learn, you should hurry. Your level is obvious."
"You're harsh."
Kim Jaeha shrugged at the criticism in front of the dwarves.
He looked at Hanbit.
"Can I go?"
"Don't overdo it, and feel free to turn off the ga whenever you want. I'm going to sleep now."
"I'm fine. I don't want to look foolish in front of that old man."
With a joking remark, he followed Gorik.
It was going to be a peculiar combination, no doubt about it.
Hanbit had also ford a master-disciple relationship with Gorik, but he had never been able to get close to him.
Sohow, Kim Jaeha seed to get along better with Gorik.
"Then, you guys go inside the wall. The mayor has given her permission, so you don't have to worry."
"What? The mayor allowed it?"
"What do you an?"
The dwarves expressed their doubts when they heard the news.
It was an expected reaction, so Hanbit told them everything that had happened.
"We're going to repair the wall?"
"That's impossible!"
"Impossible? Your Highness has returned!"
"That's right! Everything will be fine now!"
"How foolish! Even if the blessing is bestowed, skills that have been neglected for years won't improve right away!"
The dwarves had mixed opinions.
While none of them were wrong, their premise was flawed.
Because the dwarven heirloom wasn't in Gorik's possession right now.
"I'll take responsibility, so please go inside. If it gets noisy, monsters might co again."
"What? What about Your Highness?"
"The workshop is underground, so it's fine. Go quickly."
Hanbit led the dwarves towards the gate.
The gatekeepers were a little surprised, but they let everyone through after receiving a ssage from the mayor.
"This can't be real. It's absurd..."
Bolivo looked around, his face as white as a sheet.
The city's residents were staring at the dwarves with a mixture of disgust and curiosity.
-Their gazes are so scary;
-Maximum disgust
-It's like the way won look at .
-Teacher...
"Where are we going?"
"I hope it's not so weird sewer."
A few voices carried a hint of worry. They knew all too well what their treatnt would be like.
"This way."
Hanbit led the way to the north end of the city.
When they arrived in front of an old hut, the dwarves stared at it blankly.
"Huh?"
"Here...?"
The dilapidated dwelling seed on the verge of collapse.
"Haha! It's about to fall apart!"
Kudran laughed heartily as if amused.
Hanbit took a step forward and addressed everyone.
"You can modify this place as you please."
"...Modify?"
"Isn't that how dwarves are? Feel free to expand it from underground to above ground. Bolivo, don't you own the land around here?"
"Huh?"
Bolivo flinched at the sudden call.
Hesitating for a mont, he nodded as if giving up.
"...All this land belongs to ."
"Good. Gather so materials and help with anything you need. If you don't want to, our deal is..."
"Alright! Alright!" Bolivo yelled, ruffling his hair.
Since he was good at his job, despite his appearance, the result would be good.
"Do you an to make this place our ho?"
The elder, who had been observing the conversation, asked.
He had a complicated expression since facing Gorik.
"Isn't it more comfortable here than in the city? But you don't have much ti, so please do as much as you need by tomorrow."
"...Alright."
The elder nodded slowly.
A spark of enthusiasm was in his eyes.
Ding-!
[Main Quest #6 completed.]
[Progress increased.]
[Main Quest #7 will continue after the ongoing sub-quest is settled.]
*Current progress: 23%
The alarm sounded at the end of the conversation.
It made sense that a sub-quest was added as a prerequisite.
Finding the dwarven heirloom was an overarching the of the entire episode.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow."
Leaving the dwarves who had already started discussing, Hanbit went out into the street.
Avantgarde, who followed him, looked at his watch and said, “It's already dawn. Ti has flown by."
"You worked hard until late. I'll contact you separately about the connection ti tomorrow."
"I'm willing to stay up all night."
"...Go to sleep. Thank you for watching, viewers. I'll see you tomorrow."
-Dragon bye.
-It was so fun.
-Tomorrow is the real ga, right?
-Excited
The chat window was moving incredibly fast even at this hour.
Thanking them again, Hanbit ended the stream.
