chapter 16
016. Because I’ve searched everything
I was going to go out anyway.
When the logger drew up a blueprint, he had to purchase the appropriate materials.
Because the only one who could get out of the tower right away without a hitch was Berge.
It’s just that one piece of luggage has increased.
He decided to think so.
“If you want to run away, that’s okay. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to carry you whole roasted meat.”
“Of course not! If you really want to make it again, you can make it, but it takes a long time!”
Logger vehemently denied it.
It wasn’t that I didn’t think about it, but it was impossible right now. Especially because of the necklace hanging from the neck.
“The exact function of this necklace is . . .”
“There is only one.”
“which···?”
“The function that separates your head from your body. Logger Friedree is divided into Logger and Friedree.”
“···in some cases?”
“That will depend on what you do.”
“ah···.”
“If you are curious, you can open it up.”
“Is that possible! I am a faithful servant of the Demon King!”
“Know with glory. It would be the first time that it was hung around the neck of a person who is neither a prince nor a princess.”
The necklace was a sword to prevent the kidnapped princess or prince from escaping. Can be purchased using Magi Points.
“···It is an honour.”
Logger swallowed a cry.
The two soon arrived at Hortonwalk, the city of humans closest to Erzest.
“Have you come up with a list you need?”
“of course. Living in the Dwarf Kingdom is the cheapest and the best. Of course… that wouldn’t be the case. Then it will take time.”
“Does not matter.”
He traveled around several kingdoms to avoid any possible pursuit and discovery of his identity. One month until the waiting time for materials to be obtained. I bought most of what I needed.
“Now there is only one left.”
“You mean the equipment you made?”
“I call it the ghost of mana. It erases traces of mana like a ghost…”
“Your naming sense is Guri.”
“·················ogue.”
“Come in at once.”
‘Finally.’
Logger could not hide his excitement at the return of the Dwarf Kingdom after almost two months.
However, the gatekeeper he had met several times did not recognize his face. This is because a hideous mask that is no different from real skin was overlaid on him and the Demon King’s faces.
Logger barely suppressed the urge to tear the mask off.
I didn’t want to be a logger right now.
“These are faces I haven’t seen.”
“A mercenary.”
“It’s a combination of kindred and human, so it’s not common. What did you come to the city for?”
“I stopped by to take a break from work nearby.”
“I don’t want to be tight on the yard with my own people, but I will have to do a little body search because of the situation in the city right now.”
“What’s going on?”
“Just think of it a little bit.”
Berge and Logger quietly surrendered themselves. There was nothing special about the suspicious things because they were all put in a sub-space.
“Don’t crash. It won’t end well because everyone is standing today.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Well, as long as your people believe in you and join forces as mercenaries, I believe you will do well.”
Drool
The earth began to descend vertically.
“What do you think it will be?”
“.
“Because you are a warrior?”
“Because I was kidnapped while making the princess’s weapon.”
“The one that melted in the fire pit?”
“It would have been just a lump of molten scrap now.”
“If you’re a princess, what kind of princess are you talking about?”
The princes and princesses of the dwarf kingdom were fierce as one. They were by nature warriors and fight-seeking beasts.
“I wish it wasn’t just two princesses.”
“You are the 2nd Princess, do you know?”
“…it bothered me.”
Berger instinctively checked the state of his body. The farther away from the tower, the stronger the interference and the weaker the power.
I don’t know how strong the princess is at this point, but it was certain that she wasn’t in a state where she could guarantee that she would win unconditionally.
“Let’s go to your workshop first.”
“Yes.”
The workshop was not as hot as before.
The sound of hammering.
The smell of sweat from the blacksmiths.
Instead, there was something else.
A solid iron fence and soldiers guarding it.
“Has it been a month or two since you were kidnapped?”
“A little less.”
“You’re poisonous.”
I’ve been like that in my past life, but this time too.
“···how.”
“Just sneak in and take it out.”
“That is impossible.”
“Think once before you open your mouth and once more before you tease your tongue. Don’t mistake your abilities for mine.”
“Sorry, I’m sorry. I was off topic.”
“Is there any secret passage to the workshop?”
“there is.”
The passage was located on the outskirts of the workshop, about 3 km away.
“You’re telling me to go look at your ass again.”
“… well, sorry for making the passageway fit my body.”
“Go ahead.”
“Yes!”
* * *
“A month and half have passed! But you still haven’t found it?”
The princess of the Werft Kingdom nervously ripped open the table and threw it.
Blood flowed from the foreheads of the knights who had been beaten.
“How incompetent are you guys. How much more must the princess endure when she sees her incompetence!”
“sorry.”
“I’m sorry, that’s all!”
“There are too many secret passages that the Dwarves have opened. We are investigating each one, but it is highly likely that they have already escaped.”
“Of course he was out! If it’s been over a month and you don’t go out, that’s an asshole, a kidnapper!”
At the beginning of the week, she had long since given up on colonizing the kidnappers.
“Who told you to get that bastard right now? trace. Is it that hard to come back with a trace to find that damn bastard?”
“I’m sorry.”
“migration. I’ll just fill it up for two months and wait another week. 그 안에 내 무기를 만들 장인을 데려간 개새끼의 흔적을 찾아와. Where he was headed, who he was, even a single hair!”
“Yes!”
“And fill in all but the secret passageway made at the city level.”
“I will.”
“Get out now. Because I don’t even want to see you.”
The knights hurriedly left the room. The princess sighed and calmed her breathing.
Still, the anger did not subside.
“Ahhhh!”
He broke the chair and smashed the table. He put all the iron cups together into one mass and rolled his feet.
“Put it away.”
After a while, it calmed down a bit. The maids who were waiting outside hurriedly entered.
The princess left the office and headed to the craftsman’s workshop, who should have made her own weapon.
A huge studio occupying half of the third floor. The furnace, which was supposed to radiate heat incessantly, had cooled, and the sound of the hammer of the craftsman could not be heard.
And the lumps of scrap iron that were laid out were barely cooling, and they tried to rekindle the fire.
‘That should have been a weapon!’
The furnace had to spit out flames.
Logger’s arm had to hit the hammer.
Even if he was kidnapped, he had to complete his weapon and be kidnapped.
This is how it goes, and not just a single chunk of softer scrap metal.
“Logger, please just stay alive.”
No, it must be alive.
“You will never die until you complete my weapon.”
That moment-
“uh···.”
One side of the wall opened quietly. The eyes of the princess, who was spitting out abusive language, and the dwarf coming out through the passageway met.
“···You?”
“···Princess?”
The princess’s mother trembled. I turned my head and looked at the furnace. He turned his head again and looked at the dwarf.
“…you are a logger. right?”
Although the face was different, it was a logger’s workshop.
It was his own space designed by Logger himself, and no one else could enter without him.
The princess was also a dwarf, so he couldn’t understand what the workshop meant to the dwarves.
So I was sure.
A Dwarf who naturally came out of the secret passageway of the workshop could only be the master of the workshop.
And I found out the whole story.
That this wasn’t a kidnapping, it was the escape of a bastard who didn’t want to make his own weapon.
“So···.”
There was no human in her sight that came with the logger.
“I didn’t want to make my own weapon, so I went into hiding, right?”
He clenched his small fists.
“Did you say that right away?”
she laughed
The dwarf took a step back.
“If that were the case, I would have cut it up right away and made it into jerky.”
“Oh, that’s a misunderstanding!”
“misunderstanding? No, I don’t think there is any misunderstanding.”
she smashed the ground
“I will pluck your tongue out and make you a slave! For the rest of my life, I will have to craft and dedicate my weapons!”
“Hey, hey hey…! Sah, please save me!”
quaang-
A strong shock wave shook the workshop.
“What else are you?”
Cold eyes stared at the human.
The demon lord disguised as a human felt a tingling sensation in his hands.
“Logger, get the gear you mentioned.”
“So, you left what you needed and came back? Turn my insides inside out like this and be carefree?”
“I think it would be better to calm down for now. Isn’t her name a princess?”
“Are you really going to the underworld to find it?”
The princess swung her fist again. The violence that was hard to believe that it came from a small body struck Berger’s tongue.
The strong muscles visible through the clothes could never be ignored.
“Where is the equipment?”
“there···.”
Berge’s gaze followed Logger’s fingertips.
“Do you want to die?”
“That’s why it’s impossible for me to sneak out…”
There was a mechanical device that filled one side of the workshop.
It boasts a size of close to 5m.
It was the crystallization of magic engineering.
Hundreds of lines extending in all directions wrapped around the entire workshop.
When Berger kidnapped the logger for the first time, I wondered why he didn’t find it.
“Can you take it off?”
“It is installed in the workshop, so you have to release it and arrange all the lines. It will take some time.”
“Whoever wants it!”
Park-
The princess’ fist stopped in front of Logger’s nose. His head fluttered in the wind pressure that followed. Droopy, nosebleed dripped.
“Let’s make it so we can take it with us right away.”
“Yes, yep!”
Berger grabbed the princess’ wrist and threw it away. She landed lightly using the fall method.
“Who are you?”
“Let’s say you are the owner of the poor dwarf you are persecuting.”
“host? Who do you want?”
The princess’ brow twitched.
“That guy is mine. You must become my slave and craft my weapons and armor for the rest of my life.”
“It will not happen. Unfortunately for you.”
“no.”
The princess growled.
“I take everything I want. It has been and will always be.”
“This time will be an exception.”
“know? No one speaks so cockily to me.”
“Because you are a princess?”
“Because it’s all over.”
She raised the auror. The aura ran across the auror road and spread throughout the body. Strengthens muscles, blood vessels, bones, and skin.
kicked the floor Some cracked with a bang. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Berge.
Quang-
There was no anomaly or glamor in her fists. A straight, unilateral, ignorant punch.
But it was fast and heavy enough to offset all its shortcomings.
Berge took a step back. Their fists and feet rained like a storm, and they were desperate to stop it.
‘Not as much as back then.’
The woman I met before returning was strong enough to be counted on my hand. It can never be compared to what it is now.
But Berge was also in a different state than it was then. The difference between him at the time and the present day when he destroyed several kingdoms and disarmed the majority of dimensional interference was as much as a dragon and a snake.
‘If you want to kill, you can kill.’
You will be exhausted and exhausted with all your strength.
And you’ll either be caught or killed by the dwarves who come up after hearing the commotion.
It was the worst of the worst.
‘So do it quickly.’
If you leave, I may have to kill you and run away.
