The Archmage’s Restaurant - Chapter 35

# 35

Chapter.9 Dwarf Village

The dragon race is a group of creatures united by pride and arrogance, but they do not lie. There is no need to do it. Of course, if you need to do it, you can do it. Like Lurin.

Anyway, if what that dragon said is true, it would be difficult. Peace in the restaurant is maintained only when a rare dish sufficient to satisfy the elders is produced within a year.

My pride does not allow me to send Lurin away. However, going to war with the entire Black Dragon clan is overkill.

Of course, there’s nothing you can’t do. If you are willing to die.

However, there is no need to take risks when you just need to make it rare.

So the help of dwarves is essential and indispensable.

I looked at Red Dragon with a puzzled face and asked a question.

“You didn’t annihilate them directly?”

“no! Why would this body lie? Not really! Don’t look at me like that! Are you really saying no? This body really hates that magic! I will enjoy all my life and die as if I were sleeping! So, I hate you humans!”

Looking at the reaction, it doesn’t seem like he’s lying.

Are they really all dead though?

There will be survivors, right?

Since we have come this far, we need to check the situation with our own eyes. To do that, you must first go directly to the Miliorec Mountains.

“Is that so? Okay, so will you please get out of the way? It will pass peacefully. ah! And if anyone gets in your way, you won’t leave them alone? “I clearly warned you.”

“That’s right. Am I crazy? I think it would be nice to have him as a subordinate! But what can you do against an opponent you can’t beat? So hurry up and go away. You are a human being outside these standards! And get rid of that stupid black too.”

Red Dragon points to Lurin. Rurin’s personality is such that she can’t just sit back and listen to provocations, so naturally a second war of words breaks out.

“what? What kind of nonsense is this on the old Red theme! “Be thankful that you’re alive!”

“what? I am still young. “It’s a bright blue baby that has grown nothing but down!”

Red and black. Rurin and Red Dragon look into each other’s eyes and sparks fly. If you let me, I will fight all day. Ugh.

“Red Dragon? I want to disappear. Or do you want to fight again?”

“I was going to go, but he started a fight first! Okay! It’s disgusting! Two people! Wow! “Whaaaaah!”

“so?”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

The red dragon sensed my magic and ran towards Lair, crying.

If two dragons are fighting because their arms are bent inwards, Lulin still comes first. Even if there are three dragons fighting, Lulin comes first.

Even if there are hordes of dragons, of course Lulin comes first.

“Stupid Red guy. Hehehe.”

Then, as if she was in a good mood, Rurin clung to me, rubbing her cheek against my forearm just below my shoulder.

“Be patient, too. “How can you do that?”

“I do not know! Because red is the enemy!”

“You never know. everyday. Anyway, that’s not the point, let’s get down from here. Follow me.”

“I understand that!”

After walking hard, we escaped from the dragon’s realm and found an ordinary forest. As I continued walking through the forest, the forest disappeared and an area with an open view appeared.

There is a plain below the mountain, and the western end of the plain is the Miliorec Mountains, your destination.

If you can see the mountain range, your hard work is over.

“Lurrin, let’s teleport to the front peak of the mountain range visible over there.”

Lurin can teleport to places she has seen with her own eyes.

That’s Lurin’s teleportation. In other words, this is a characteristic of the teleportation used by dragons.

“You mean over there?”

The place where Rurin pointed his finger. When I nod, Lurin also nods along. The story is that anything is possible.

Then he spread his arms.

“Hehehe.”

He looks at me while smiling like some kind of lewd old man. I can’t help it. It entered her open arms.

“Teleportation is tiring, but it also has its good points! Hi-Hi.”

As soon as Lulin speaks, darkness fills my vision. In the pitch-black darkness, the only thing I can feel is the softness of Rurin’s embrace.

When I came to, we were standing on a rock. Mountain peaks on all sides bring a sense of reality to the view.

“Let’s see. Various documents say that there is a dwarven mine near this peak.”

“Why are those damn bastards so hard to find!”

“Wouldn’t it be more difficult to say that we were wiped out? This is for your rare. “Hurry up and take the lead.”

After crossing the ridge of the mountain peak, there is a well-paved mountain road to the north. And then a basin appeared in the distance. You can tell just by looking at the well-paved mountain path itself that it is the work of a dwarf. However, as Red Dragon said, there seemed to be no living dwarves.

A mine was visible at the end of the basin, the entrance to which was covered by a large pile of stones.

I thought that the boulders were the ends of the mountain peaks that were cut in various places. Could it be that the dwarves are on the verge of annihilation because the peaks were destroyed and rocks poured into the basin and mines?

As Red Dragon said, the destruction of the mountain peak seems to be the aftermath of the dragon war.

“after… .”

Not only the mine but also all over the basin is full of rocks. The village still has its shape, but it is a miserable sight as it has been crushed by rocks. It looked as if he had been hit by dozens of Meteor bullets.

“Isn’t this really difficult?”

“Why isn’t there one, dwarf!”

Lulin was also in tears.

“Aren’t you hiding in the mine? Will all the rocks in front of the mine be melted? This is one shot with my breath. Of course, I’m hungry right now and I don’t have any strength… .”

Even though dwarves are an earth race, there is no way they would hide in a mine with a blocked entrance. It’s perfect for starving to death. Because food supply is impossible. So then, was it truly wiped out?

That’s difficult.

“It’s true that I’m hungry, so let’s eat for now. Come on.”

First, I sat down on a nearby stone. I then tapped the side, but Rurin came in front of me, turned her back, and sat down between my legs. And he leaned the back of his head against my chest.

The position became as if I was giving Rurin a back hug.

“Why are you in this strange posture when I ask you to sit next to me, Dragon?”

“Hehe, you are my backrest! “Stay still.”

“What?”

If you sit in a position perfect for rolling your temples and say something like that, it’s an immediate attack.

“Aang! sick!”

Lulin immediately began to cry and toss and turn. Yet it doesn’t escape from my embrace.

“Tell me again, who has the back?”

“It’s not a backrest. It’s better to just stick with it! That’s why it is like that. bad. You… .”

Rurin turns her lowered head to look at me from below and puffs out her cheeks. Pissing off. I poked the beef jerky I brought for times like this into Lulin’s cheek, which was swollen like a balloon.

“What is this? “It smells like meat!”

“Yes, it’s your favorite meat. meat.”

When I put it in his open mouth, he reflexively started chewing. Beef jerky is perfect for emergency food. I give one to Rurin, I eat one too, and the repeat begins.

“Oh, dried meat is delicious. “I wish there was beer too!”

“Anyway, it’s amazing that a dragon can taste beer.”

He happily chews the beef jerky and continues to hold out his palm. It is a pose asking for more. When you automatically place it in your hand, you bring it straight to your mouth and chew it. After a while, he seriously asks why his rare is so precious.

“But what if there are no dwarves?”

“don’t worry. Even if there are no dwarves, we will make rares somehow.”

“I’m not worried. “Because you made all my wishes come true.”

Lulin muttered while holding the chewed beef jerky in his hand. Turn your head back to the front and lean back against the back of your head.

“okay.”

He answered quietly and stroked her black hair. This black hair is very precious. Would you say it’s like a tranquilizer that stimulates nostalgia for one’s hometown?

“Aaaah!”

At the moment of enjoying peace, Lurin’s eyebrows twitched. Because of the screams.

“Please save me!”

The person who appeared before my eyes was a dwarf. A body that spreads out to the side with short legs. This is the dwarf I’ve been looking for so long.

However, the dwarf who appeared had a sad face and both hands were chained.

What can I say, it’s exactly the look of a fugitive. That too was the behavior of an escaped convict.

As if that wasn’t enough, an army of Orcs appeared around the dwarf. It’s not like he’s acting like an escaped convict, but like he’s a real prisoner.

“Dwarf?”

“human? “Why are humans here?”

When I talk to the dwarf, he opens his mouth with a suspicious look on his face. With a very urgent expression.

“Weren’t the dwarves of Miliorek wiped out?”

Thanks to that conversation, the orc army began to surround not only the dwarves but also us.

But in fact, it was a death sentence for the orcs.

The dwarf and orc armies that appeared from the upper part of the basin had interrupted Lulin’s meal.

“okay. We dwarves are in a big crisis. But there were also dwarves who survived.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes. Our dwarf survived. However, all surviving dwarves were captured. Because we didn’t have enough numbers, we ended up losing to the orcs. Anyway, run away, human!”

The destruction of a mountain range due to a dragon war rife with breath. A crack in the mountain peak like a disaster. In other words, does this mean that not only was the village destroyed and his people killed as it collapsed, but he was also caught by the fleeing orcs in a human-versus-monster war that was separate from the dragon war?

But why do orcs keep dwarves instead of killing them?

Orcs were usually a stupid race, but they still had a knack for forming armies and fighting. In addition, sometimes among orcs, more intelligent orcs dominate the colony.

Come to think of it, the Orcs’ armor and weapons were quite sophisticated. This is absolutely not a weapon that an Orc could make.

If they are imprisoning a small number of dwarves and having them make weapons somewhere in these mountains, it means that there are enough people alive to request the construction of a lair, so it is good news for me.

Red Dragon is a dwarf offering tribute. Let’s take a closer look. After just a cursory glance, the village has been devastated and is completely annihilated! You just claimed that?

I don’t know why dragons are so annoying to everything. Is it because they live for a long time?

Anyway, the Orcs formed a perfect siege from the east, west, south, and north and howled.

The dwarf tried to run away with all his might, but when there was no hole to escape, he sat down on the ground in frustration.

“Chwiiik!”

“What are you saying, Lurin?”

“Running away only leads to death. “What are you talking about?”

“Right.”

“Yes. “It’s insignificant.”

Lulin answered with his eyebrows raised, as if he was annoyed by the orc’s appearance. While chewing on beef jerky.
