Chapter 118 Back to the Desert (3)
City of Dwarves.
Sand of Forge.
With the recent ergence of this underground city, there was a job that was highlighted, and that was rchants.
[If you accompany the rchant or join the company, they will let you through regardless of your height or appearance. You either want to be treated favorably in Dahn, or you can't. They only really let you pass.]
Their position condition that they wouldn't dare to challenge unless their body was as small as that of a dwarf. But there was one way to negate it, and that was to get admission with the vendors, who had packed a lot of booze and food.
“Uh... even though we're human, we still brought a lot of our favorite liquor... Pass! Don't make a fuss inside!”
A race of dwarves who love alcohol more than anyone else. Although it was a human race that I didn't like enough to grind my teeth thinking about the past, it was true that their alcohol was delicious, so I was able to enter their city Sands of Forge, albeit on a limited basis.
“Wow... Jae no Kaiser! Did you see this?”
Looking at the huge city of dwarves built underground with both eyes wide open, Jaekyun shouted with excitent and asked, but it wasn't such a strange sight for Jaeyoung, who had already been tired of seeing it.
“Wow..... I saw it on video, but seeing it in person is really no joke.”
“I see... Honey, seeing that you ca here, did you think you did well?”
“yes?”
However, except for Jaeyoung, the people here are beginners. Apple and Lemon were also looking around with similar faces to Jaekyun and chatting.
“Anyway, I had a hard ti getting here. We're done here...”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
As long as he reached the Sands of Forge, he had already achieved his goal, so he no longer needed to hang out with this corps. So, at this point, I was about to say goodbye and leave with Jae-kyun, but Apple caught the two of them with a look of bewildernt.
“I haven’t even been rewarded yet, so what if I just leave like this?”
A desperate situation in which all trade goods could be lost and annihilated in the desert, which could have resulted in huge losses. Jae-young, who was going to leave without receiving any compensation for saving him from such a crisis, was stopped, but he was not very interested in their compensation.
‘Even if I did it, it would cost a few pennies of gold.....'
It was clear that they would give so gold anyway. However, Jaeyoung's possessions were more than he thought.
Possessed money: 11,452 gold
10,000 gold from the bamboo spear battle and about 1200 gold from Baron Mikhail. In addition, the PK and hunting and mining items alone reached 300 gold, so waiting at the top was almost a waste of ti.
“We have a lot of work to do. We'll talk about compensation when we et again later.”
“That's like that...”
Jaeyoung and Jaekyun leave without saying when and where they will et and how they will receive compensation. But Apple couldn't hold on to either of them because it had a cart full of things it needed to sell right away. Then, I started running around and selling my feet to make my feet sweat. This is to make up for the losses incurred in this uptrend and to make the most of the profits.

“Oh. Welco, our dear friend.”
Altair, the highest chieftain of the Sand Hamr Tribe, who leads the Dwarves, the head of the Sands of Forge, welcod Jaeyoung with a welco face.
“It’s been a while.”
“That’s right. But you're back sooner than I thought.”
Jae-young left as a special envoy with an agreent for peace in the village of elves. However, after seeing him return in less than a month, Altair asked with a curious face.
“So... how did the story go?”
The text of the agreent sent at Jaeyoung's recomndation. In fact, he didn't expect good results, so he accepted the scroll that Jaeyoung gave him and put on a shocked expression.
“The elves also decided to accept the peace agreent proposed by the dwarves. It was signed by lissa, Queen of the Elves, so check it out.”
“Is that for real?”
Altair opens the agreent with an urgent face. He carefully examined the contents of the agreent with his shaggy hands, and when he saw lissa's signature scribbled at the bottom, he muttered with a bewildered expression, as if in disbelief.
“Really, a day like this will co... I would never have thought that those smooth, self-respecting guys would sign a peace agreent like this.”
“Ah, the agreent takes effect as soon as you accept it. So, from now on, we have to regularly send envoys for exchange and trade with the elves, and we have to actively cooperate with each other.”
“Okay. I'll notify the senate and make preparations right away.”
Altair nodded at Jaeyoung's words. Jaeyoung added sothing to him that he couldn't say.
“Oh, and I made so adjustnts to the items the elves traded. It's in the text of the agreent, so check it out.”
“what....? this this? Is this for real?”
Altair confird what was written in the agreent with a shocked expression on his face. He stamred and shouted in disbelief.
“Not just the branches of the World Tree, but also the sap of the leaves, rhizos... and even advanced spirit stones?”
An underground ore vein in the great desert Shurim where rare tals can be obtained. But even so, there was sothing the Dwarves regretted. It was the various by-products that could be obtained from the World Tree, where life force pulsated.
“tal alone cannot contain the soul I seek.”
“Haa... this isn't enough. A little more rare and rare material...”
“In order to fully capture the attributes of nature... you need a suitable spirit stone...
” There were so many Dwarves who lanted and regretted seeing the imperfect condition of the children-like equipnt that was born from their hands every ti because there was no way to get the materials.
Altair knew the value of this agreent very well because he understood better than anyone else the dwarves' desire to create, who always wanted to create perfect works with the best materials and the best effort.
“From now on, try to be close to each other as much as possible. Since the elves also said that they will make an effort not to make derogatory remarks based on their height or appearance in the future, I also make sure that they do not make aggressive remarks with their dexterity or strange things.”
“That’s right. Don't do that.”
Altair nodded his head and looked at Jaeyoung with grateful eyes. He seed to want to tell the news quickly, so he left without saying a few words.
“First of all, I will discuss this matter with the elders first. let's talk about it later You must have had a lot of trouble so far, so why don’t you take a break while looking around the city.”
[Successfully brokered a peace treaty between elves and dwarves.]
[Legendary achievent. It has brought about peace between the two rival races.]
[Negotiation skill has risen to rank 5.]
[All beings will listen more closely to the player's story.]
[Performance of objects produced by dwarves in the future. This greatly improves.]
[The friendship level between the dwarves and elves greatly increases.]
[Obtained the title ‘Master of Negotiation'.]
Altair left in a hurry. Jae-young, who was sitting in his office, looked at him with a proud expression as he checked the nurous ssages that ca to his eyes, and Jae-gyun looked at him in surprise and asked,
“Jae Jae-young, what did you just do?”
“What is it? You brokered a peace treaty between the dwarves and the elves.”
“what....?”
Jae-gyun is unable to keep his mouth shut when Jae-yeong tells him that he was already carrying out a hidden quest between the dwarf and the elf. However, Jae-young, who did not want to go through the hassle of explaining everything to him, hit the head first to stop Jae-gyun from pouring out questions.
“I have soone to go see, so let’s move too.”
“There is soone to go see...? who?”
Jae-gyun tilts his head with a puzzled look at Jae-young's words that he has soone to et in this dwarf village. Jaeyoung replied with a smile on his face.
“Do you have a friend who feels like seeing your old self?”
* * *
Caang. Caang.
There were two types of sounds that never ceased to resonate here and there in the city of Dwarves.
One is the clear burst of hamrs striking tal. And the second was the shouts of the tough Dwarves who were eager for young Dwarves who had just started to pick up a hamr as apprentices.
“Can’t you hamr it straight? Do you think the iron would bend if you hit it like that?”
“Can’t even adjust the temperature properly? This damn dwarf is a baby! Can you still call yourself a great Dwarven clan!”
“Today we see the end. There is no food until I make a work I like.”
Dwarf artisans who pass on their skills in a hardcore and spicy way from beginning to end. Among the young dwarves, sweating profusely beneath them and intent on hamring, there was a whining human.
“Hey human! Did you make this a dagger just now?”
“Isn’t this the foundation? How many tis have I taught you, and you still hamr like that!”
“Anyway, I don’t have any useful skills other than digging for minerals! Even for a human, it's below expectations!”
“Sorry! I will do it again!”
A middle school boy, Lee Joong-sik, has been working at the studio for a month now. While sweating profusely, he shouted with a stern face, apologized over and over again in front of the dwarves who craved him, and raised the hamr again.
“Eh.... If it wasn’t for Altair-sama’s request, I would have kicked him out right away...”
The dwarf growled as if he didn’t like his every move and went elsewhere. Jungshik was able to breathe a sigh of relief after the senior dwarf who had been bullying him left.
“Haa.....”
The red-hot iron. After staring at it for a while, Jung-shik took the hamr in one hand and started hitting it.
Caang. Caang.
Iron changing its shape with the clear sound of hamring. The Chinese food, which had been pounding for a long ti, was quenched and heated several tis to create a shape with sincerity. How much ti has passed like that? When the blunt iron ingot passed through Jung-shik's hands and was born into a dagger, a ssage appeared before his eyes.
[‘Dagger for Beginners' has been produced.]
[Flawless manufacturing process. The production bonus is greatly increased.]
[A work above the level. The grade of the item will increase.]
[The ‘Weapon Crafting' skill will rise to A rank.]
[The efficiency of weapon crafting will increase slightly.]
While looking around the items he made, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He was startled.
“Oh you made that?”
“Dex brother?”
Jae-young left the village and left herself here. Jung-sik saw Jae-young smiling as if he was happy to see him, and rushed at him.
“Tongue!”
Maybe it was a pleasure to see the person, so I ran to him in a month and hugged him. Jaeyoung put on a burdened expression at the grown-up man's hug, but he couldn't bear to push him away as his face was filled with tears as if he was going to cry at any mont.
“You must have had a lot of trouble.”
“Heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”
Joong-shik expresses his sorrow to Jae-young. As Jae-young listened to the dwarves' contempt for all kinds of discrimination and hatred, he felt again that the personality of the different races in this ga must have been ate to the bone.
I am sure that the next race war will be fought between humans and other races.
