I Became a Soul Eater

“Do you know Drakan?”

The Dwarf’s tone changed at once.

“Yes, I know.”

Who knows more about Drakan than I do? Among Drakan’s stories, stories about dwarves appear quite often and over a long period of time. In Drakan’s story, they appear like very good friends, but wouldn’t that be from Drakan’s point of view and not from the dwarves’ point of view? I’ve been thinking about that ever since I heard Drakan’s story.

“He-is he well?”

“Yes, you are very well.”

It’s a lie, but it’s true from another point of view. Now that you’ve gained your godhood, you’ll be fine somewhere.

“By the way, do you know Drakan?”

No matter how old the dwarves in front of them were, considering the average age of the dwarves, they would not have been able to face Drakan in person.

“I have been hearing about Drakan-sama from a young age among the Dwarves.”

Oh, that’s right. If you don’t listen to the request, let the town breathe a little, and of course it will. It is said that Drakan sprayed very weakly as a joke and no dwarves were injured, but from the point of view of its prey, the overwhelming fear of violence would be imprinted on it.

“That’s right there…”

“This is Germain Akasha.”

“What kind of relationship does Prince Germain have with Drakan-nim?”

“Well, you could say heir.”

It’s hard to see him as a disciple, and wouldn’t a successor be right? The complexions of the dwarves were gradually turning pale.

“Um, maybe…”

I think you want to ask if I’m not a dragon.

“Wouldn’t that be important?”

In terms of strength, it may not reach Drakan yet, but it is true that it is stronger than Dwarves.

“It is. It is not important.”

“Rather than that, I’d like to hear how you got here.”

When the Dwarves arrived, they were interrogated several times by various officials of the kingdom, but they did not give a sincere answer. It felt like he was hiding something.

“Well, that’s it.”

“It’s a really long story”

What could make the mouths of the dwarves who were clearly hiding something honest?

“It doesn’t matter. You can talk about 100 years from now. ”

Rather, I showed a relaxed attitude.

“mmm! It’s embarrassing, but we are dwarves who ran away from home.”

“Are you running away?”

“Yes, I left home to gather with friends and see the wider world.”

Adolescent rebellion or something? Rather, at what age does a dwarf’s puberty come? Elves didn’t seem to have anything like that. First of all, the hairy dwarves with shaggy beards never looked young.

“Excuse me, how old are you?”

“Hmm, I’m 56 now.”

“You are young.”

“yes?”

Considering the age of the dwarves, they were too young. Dwarves, like elves who don’t eat elves, live to be about 200 years old.

“I am not too old. I am a little over 200 years old now.”

“Ah, I see.”

The eyes of the dwarves are changing from doubt to confidence. These dwarves clearly see me as a dragon.

“So, how many dwarves were there in all?”

“Six people.”

“I’m sorry about the other four.”

The dwarves bowed their heads. But can a small boat with only 6 people cross the Great Sea? Since the dwarves’ technology is so famous, it might be possible, but a question arose.

“Is it possible to cross the Great Sea in a boat driven by six people?”

“It is impossible.”

“then?”

“We didn’t come by boat. Even when our ancestors left the continent a long time ago, they didn’t leave by boat.”

“Then how did you cross the sea?”

“It flew.”

There was such a way. According to the existing common sense, there was a stereotype that the sea must be crossed by boat. But how?

“Did you make a ship that can fly?”

“It’s a flying ship…well, you can see it that way.”

When we talked to that point, it became a little noisy outside. Apparently, I was caught breaking into this place. Originally, the guards outside were still sleeping.

“Won’t you guys follow me?”

“yes?”

The pupils of the Dwarves trembled violently. Maybe I’ll pamper you like Drakan. At least I can’t breathe, so it won’t be that much.

“If you stay here, you will be watched by humans for the rest of your life. I will take you to a place where there are no humans.”

“Ha, but that place…”

“I swear, but it is a place where Drakan-nim is not. And I have no intention of forcing you to do anything.”

The most sincere workers are those who do their own work. And the best hire is the one who gets the job done for himself.

“Can we talk about it for a moment?”

“I can’t give you much time, it’s getting a little noisy outside.”

“All right.”

The Dwarves started discussing from a distance. It was meaningless to me. It seems that the Dwarves were not satisfied with the current situation.

From afar, I made an offer they couldn’t refuse.

“I promise, if you follow me, I will bring you all the pearls available on the continent.”

This is not a lie. If you go to Count Akasha’s wine cellar, it’s still ready. There are not many people who enjoy drinking among the vassals, so it is being maintained almost as it is.

For a moment, I had a hallucination as if the ears of the dwarves were elongated like those of the elves.

“Where is it? Go right now.”

“hahahaha! We have no luggage.”

It was an offer too good to refuse.

I took the dwarves and teleported to Count Akasha’s house. The Dwarves, who had not been able to come to their senses for a while, shaking their heads, regained their senses after a while, perhaps because the Dwarves were weak against space movement.

“Are you there?”

“No, not here. This is Countess Akasha, where I am the lord, and it is somewhere in the middle of the Western Continent.”

The dwarves calculated the distance in their minds and nodded.

“They are also a great race.”

but I didn’t deny it. It seemed like it would be easier to deal with.

“I have something to pack here, and since I came here from the East Continent, I have to go the same distance.”

I was thinking of sending the dwarves to the villa I built in the new continent. It was the safest place out of sight of humans, and even if I made something, it would be the most secret.

Just then, Howard opened the door and came in.

“Howdy! Are you back?”

Howard is terribly aware of where I am or when I go outside and come back, but it’s not like I’m a soldier or anything like that. He said he could feel his presence. I don’t feel Howard’s presence, so I don’t think it’s like that according to rank.

“What are these dwarves?”

The dwarves did what Howard said when he saw the dwarves for the first time.

“You arrogant human bastard!”

“I’ll break your waist in half and make you a dwarf!”

But the opponent was not good. As Howard’s eyes turned into those of the Witchbeast and began pouring out their lives, the dwarves froze as if they were going to beat Howard to death at any moment.

“They are dwarves. You can’t eat it”

“A dwarf? Is this the ancient species?”

“okay”

The dwarves started to tremble at what I said as a joke. When Howard started looking around to see if the dwarves were curious, the dwarves’ condition worsened.

“get out. You were too scared.”

“So what”

When I kicked out Howard, the dwarves collapsed on the floor in exhaustion.

“Um, is that person over there a brother?”

The Dwarf asked in a collapsed state. Howard seemed to be seen as a dragon too.

“no. Is there no existence like that in the place where the different races crossed over?”

“doesn’t exist. Absolutely no.”

The dwarves shook their heads. I heard that not only the dwarves crossed over, but also other races. Even the vampire prince, Eltis, is quite strong. Of course, it’s not as good as Howard, but even if the three masters of our territory attack, we won’t be able to win.

The head of the elves is similarly strong, but aren’t the heads of dwarves and other races not so strong?

“Anyway, get some rest. Bring some things and come.”

I left the dwarves in the office and went to pick up the items they needed to live in the new continent.

The Dwarves who had been rolling around on the floor of the office until I returned jumped to their feet when I returned.

“Let’s go now.”

When they arrived in the New Continent with the Dwarves, the Dwarves again suffered from motion sickness. After giving the dwarves some time to come to their senses, they began to look around at the unfamiliar scenery.

“How are you?”

“It is a new continent created in the west of the West Continent.”

“Yes?”

It seemed that he hadn’t heard the news of the new continent yet. Come to think of it, wasn’t the reason why the ship flying in the sky crashed and they drifted because of the fight between the two foreign media? After all, I only asked for the time of the east and west continents to be returned.

I roughly explained that the new continent had suddenly appeared and that humans had sent expeditions to occupy it, but all of them had failed.

“That’s it.”

“Yes, it’s also a place humans will never come to.”

The Dwarves were rather relieved.

“That flying boat? Unless humans are suddenly able to build them, humans won’t set foot here for a while.”

“If that’s the case, 300 years is too early.”

From my point of view, it was a matter of ideas apart from technology. The idea of making a flying boat is important. Humans can do it someday if they come up with an idea. It seemed that the Dwarves were ignoring the challenge spirit of humans too much.

“Let’s live in this house for a while and get used to it”

It created conditions sufficient for human life. I made a water tank and there would be no problem if I procure food from time to time.

“Are you really not going to make us do anything?”

“What should I do?”

“No, no.”

The dwarves didn’t seem to fully trust me. So I decided to give it a try. As I began to take out countless bottles of alcohol from the subspace, the dwarves’ mouths began to open.

“I kept my promise.”

Whether I said anything or not, the dwarves were busy looking at the hundreds of bottles of alcohol piled up in front of them. They are really a drinking race. On that subject, he is good at making something, but not good at making alcohol. I don’t know if this is true, but according to Drakan stories and records, it is.

“By the way, how far is the place you said you crossed over from here?”

“Well, we don’t even know.”

According to the story of the dwarves, it is the place where the ancestors left the eastern continent and headed east, flying for more than a year. It is said that they do not know the exact distance or location because it is meaningless to navigate in the middle of the sea.

It is said that it was the same when he left there and arrived here. It is said that he flew in a small airship for over a year, and there was a time when he met a strong wind and lost direction and drifted.

Listening to it, there were a few suspicious things, but it didn’t seem like the dwarves were lying.

“Are you guys not thinking of going back to your hometown anymore?”

“No, I want to go back.”

“Then build that airship. If you ask for materials, I will support you.”

“Are you sure?”

I nodded. And when I build it, I’ll learn a little bit over my shoulder. Now there are not many opportunities to accumulate new knowledge.

The Dwarves started pouring out the necessary ingredients indiscriminately. Most of the materials were not that difficult to obtain. Even a little rare material was a material that could be obtained sufficiently from my point of view.

“Can I just have this for now?”

“of course.”

“How much time do you have to make?”

“It may take a little longer since it is made by two people.”

It doesn’t matter if it takes a little longer. It takes a little bit of time for that long-lived species, but does it really have to take that long?

“Then I’ll get the ingredients soon, so if you’re bored, explore the new continent.”

When I returned to the office after leaving the dwarves behind, there was something strange with Howard in my office.
