Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 033. Should I just knock it down

‘good.’

Aaron smiled inwardly.

Dwarves do not make trades that only benefit or lose money.

Because Agni, the god of fire and blacksmiths, would not allow him.

The price of saving the lives of ten dwarven warriors is three blank checks.

The warriors in this place would do anything they could for a favor.

“Okay. I will accept your offer.”

Aaron nodded his head after a long pause, as if he was deliberately deep in thought.

A blush spread across the warriors’ faces.

Living in debt is a huge shame for a dwarf.

If rejected, they would have to live with a heavy burden on their shoulders for the rest of their lives.

“Then can I ask you the first favor right away?”

“However much.”

At Aaron’s question, Exar nodded as if he had been waiting.

“Help me destroy the statue of Agni in the Eastern Temple of Tmolia.”

“… … what?”

The Dwarves, who were waiting for an answer with nervous faces, were startled.

“You want to destroy the idol?”

“Did we hear it wrong?”

“You heard it right.”

Aaron continued.

The Dwarves built a city called Tmolia in the middle of the mountain range and built temples to the north, south, east, west, and revealed that it was the domain of the Dwarves.

Aaron was telling him to destroy Agni’s alter ego in the temple, the most sacred object of the dwarves.

“I think you understand the weight of what you just said.”

“I know.”

“Why do we have to destroy the statue?”

The Eastern Shrine was the biggest reason the Dwarf warriors were here now.

It was adjacent to Jaqueline’s territory, so it could be defiled by the Angram forces.

The option of destroying the temple was also considered by Exar.

Rather than see the sacred site being polluted, the intention is to plan the future after destroying it.

However, they haven’t grown strong enough to deal with the dwarves yet.

Destroying the temple now was like abandoning the house because of a typhoon that may or may not come.

“The statue is providing the demons needed for Bronkel’s resurrection ceremony.”

In the past, the subjugation party thought they had completely killed and eliminated Bronkel, but that was an illusion.

Right before he was subjugated, he left his mark on the mountain range while plotting his future.

He transferred his soul to his heart and hid it where no one knew, and distributed all of his powers to his followers.

The followers who received Bronkel’s power desperately blocked the punitive force, while preparing the items necessary for the master’s resurrection step by step.

The subjugation party took extreme sacrifices and destroyed what they had prepared, but all the broken things were just a trick.

The things Bronkel really needed were cleverly hidden from detection.

One of them is the statue of a god in the Eastern Shrine.

Under the statue, which the Dwarves hold sacred, there was a black magic circle connected to the ritual site.

Destroying it now wouldn’t stop the ritual, but at least it would have stalled the time.

“How do you know that?”

“I saw it in there.”

Aaron pointed to the pit he had walked out of.

Dark clouds mixed with demons were still rising from the pit.

“I can’t understand what a hero’s blessing is.”

“There are quite a few things happening in the world that I don’t understand. There are still many things I do not know about myself.”

“hahahaha. Hearing such words from a very young friend made me feel very strange. Got it. wait a moment.”

Exar laughed bitterly and spoke with the other warriors in the dwarven language.

It was a brief meeting about whether it was really okay to destroy statues.

It wasn’t long before he came back.

“Warriors will listen to your request. Instead, count this as two wishes. Destroying statues is painful for us too.”

“Good.”

Aaron nodded without hesitation.

“I feel ashamed of myself for arguing with my older brother.”

While marching along with the Dwarves, Zeke suddenly said.

“What are you talking about?”

Aaron furrowed his eyebrows.

After negotiating with the dwarves, he returned to the party and became an ordinary teenage boy again.

But in Zeke’s eyes, he no longer looked like the same age.

Even when he saw the hybrid, he swung his sword without blinking an eye.

The image of jumping in front of a dwarf and grabbing a stalker.

The figure of throwing himself into the hybrid group without hesitation.

Even the appearance of walking confidently through the black flames that burn away everything.

Aaron was directly showing the image of the main character of a heroic novel that boys his age often read.

It was as if a knight in black armor was standing behind him.

“Perhaps, I think that the one who is really suitable for the position of the head of household is Hyung-nim.”

Zeke opened his mouth with difficulty.

He didn’t really have much fame or greed.

As always mother demands.

Because I had to do it, because it was meant to be, I just followed it like a machine.

But now that he can face himself, he realizes what is better for him and his family.

It was right that Aaron would lead the Oddhaken family.

‘Shouldn’t I have hit it moderately?’

Aaron was perplexed.

The reason he brought Zeke was to correct his weak spirit and raise his favorability rating, not to usurp the position of the next head of household.

If he becomes the head of the household, his mother’s family, Countess Arnin, as well as numerous families who fought over the leadership of the mines in the past, will draw the sword.

In order to prevent that, they would inevitably have to be tied to the West, but that was too big a penalty in a situation where they didn’t know what would happen yet.

“Zeke, look at me.”

Aaron took his luck with a rather serious face.

Zeke, who had been walking while staring at the ground, reluctantly raised his head.

“You are the son of Odd Haken that no one in the world can deny. My father and mother acknowledged it, and I acknowledged it.”

“but… … .”

“I have no doubt that you will lead the family well. You broke the wall yourself without anyone’s help. I will continue to wake up.”

“… … .”

“Be proud of the blood that flows through you. You are Odd Haken.”

“… … Thank you. older brother.”

Zeke looked at Aaron with a moved expression.

He had promised to hand over the position of the next head of household to Aaron when he returned from work, but hearing these words brought tears to his eyes.

‘done.’

Aaron smiled silently and patted Zeke on the shoulder.

Now that he has won the hearts of both the current and the next family head, Odd Haken will move according to his will.

“Looks like we’re almost there.”

Rhaast, who was happily watching the conversation between the brothers, raised his head.

A building was placed on top of a very high rocky mountain.

It was the temple of Agni.

“I-I’m going up there?”

Zeke, who had escaped from his thoughts, opened his mouth wide.

There was no way to go up the rocky mountain anywhere.

You could climb up the rock that rises like an awl, but it seemed like it would take a full day to get to the top.

“don’t worry. It won’t go up the way you think.”

Aaron smiled.

Dwarves did not enjoy penance.

Since they were a tribe that valued efficiency and time, they should have prepared a way to climb up.

“Come this way.”

Exar led the party.

Behind the pile of stones under the rocky mountain, there was a small hole through which the Dwarves could come and go.

The party crouched down and passed the hole.

After passing through the hole, the same wide pupil as when obtaining the Raguz rune came out.

In the center of the pupil was a disc large enough for dozens of people to ride on.

A steel rope was attached to the edge of the disk and stretched upward.

“It’s an elevator going up to the temple. It’s safe to look at it like this, so let’s get on board.”

While the party was watching the pupils, the Dwarves had already boarded the elevator.

“let’s go.”

As the party climbed, the elevator’s crude entrance closed and the steel rope was pulled tight.

“My ears are deaf.”

About halfway up, Zeke said with a slightly frightened expression.

It was my first time climbing up to a high place, so I had never experienced such a severe deafening experience.

“Nothing. If you swallow, you’ll be fine.”

“Really?”

Zeke gulped his saliva a few times and relaxed his expression as if he had been relieved.

“It’s amazing.”

“There are many strange things in the world.”

While chatting, the elevator reached the top.

It was an outbuilding next to the temple that enshrined the holy relics that were not yet used or used up.

There was no one inside the outbuilding.

The Dwarven Priests who guarded the temple returned to Tmolia except for a few because of Angram’s threat.

“Follow me.”

This time, Exar took the lead.

The outbuilding was connected to the main building of the temple by a long passage.

After walking for a while, the huge main building appeared.

A simple structure with no separate rooms, only an entrance and a large auditorium.

It was an architectural style that reflected the Dwarven character who disliked complicated arrangements.

The dwarf who visited this place went straight to the auditorium and exchanged a few words with Agni’s statue instead of praying.

“As expected, the Dwarves build a building amazingly well.”

Rhaast did not hide his admiration.

Statues of former Dwarf heroes stood on the walls of the auditorium, and hundreds of golden luminous stones illuminated the way for visitors on the ceiling.

“welcome.”

As they approached the center of the auditorium, they were greeted by three dwarves in red robes.

Priests guarding Agni’s temple.

Dwarves’ savage side could not be found in them.

Men shaved their beards clean, and women shaved their long hair short.

Considering the dwarves’ characteristic of considering their hair as life, I could see how deep their faith was.

“You are warriors. Tmolia should have banned you from entering this place for a while. What’s going on? Even with humans.”

The high priest standing in the middle looked around at the party.

This is definitely the domain of the dwarves.

Humans don’t have that much ill-feeling, but it didn’t look too good for other races to find their temple.

“I have business with Agni. Would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”

Exar stepped forward as a representative.

He briefly explained the process of killing Angram disguised as Oddhaken reinforcements and arriving here.

Of course, he didn’t say anything like destroying Agni’s statue.

Even the same Dwarf could not tolerate such disrespect.

“You have done a great job. But apart from that, we have a duty to protect this place. If you’re thinking of praying, do it. I will not interfere.”

The high priest did not back down.

The Warrior Chief is a high-ranking rank in Dwarven society, but this place was a temple.

At least in front of the gods, all dwarves had to be equal.

‘Should I just knock him down?’

Aaron’s eyes narrowed.

[42] [43] [45]

Their level was generally higher than that of warriors.

It’s overly strong for a priest, but this level could easily be beaten.

The question was whether the warriors would accept him.

They regard the lives of their fellow countrymen as if they were their own, and even if they die themselves, they do not cause a fratricide.

This was also the essential reason why the Dwarves maintained peace for a long time.

‘… … hmm?’

Aaron, who was watching the dwarves, stopped thinking.

Dark energy was flowing from the priests standing silently next to the high priest.

Margie is so well-hidden that you can only tell by looking at it for a long time.

They have already succumbed to Angram’s power.

‘I don’t think they’ll know until I tell them.’

If it’s that well-hidden magic, even if you raise your aura, you won’t be able to find out.

It was purely because of the magic hater that I had just been able to detect it.

The dwarves would ask to check first, so persuading them would only waste time.

“Zeke, Raast. Don’t answer, listen quietly.”

Aaron whispered.

Even though they heard his voice, the two continued to look at the dwarves pretending not to hear.

“Go in front of the statue and draw your gaze. And when I signal, kill the priests. If you understand, move your finger.”

Quick and quiet instructions followed.

Raast moved his fingers without hesitation.

Zeke hesitated for a moment, but responded quickly.

Their deep trust that Aaron would not give such an order without reason erased their doubts.

“Wow, is that the statue of Agni? It’s really cool.”

Rhaast moved first.

They ignored the serious conversations of the Dwarves and approached Agni’s idol.

“I don’t make Sephiroth statues this big, but do all dwarves make them look like giants?”

Zeke helped him.

The high priest frowned and looked back at them.

“Get away from the statue. This is not a space that is allowed for you.”

“Back off!”

The priests hurried after them.

The sudden action was quelled within seconds.

“Oh, Aaron? what are you doing now… … .”

Behind the High Priestess, who was looking at the statue of God, a panicked Exar voice was heard.

“Turisaz!”

“… … !”

When he turned his head again, the blue blade of the sword was already in front of him.
