The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 283

Episode 283

‘I found it.’

Raoul’s eyes glowed golden and he smiled meaningfully.

Dwarves who returned to Geumyeok also lived in tribes like orcs.

However, unlike the Orcs, the linkage between each tribe was strong and they moved like a single kingdom, so they often showed great power compared to their insufficient numbers.

There are dozens of such dwarven tribes.

They had taken over the underground cities hidden beneath the Ice Mountains and were rebuilding the cities.

‘They may be the same dwarves, but each tribe has different skills.’

And Raoul is right here.

The Black Anvil Chief had some business to attend to.

“this guy! “Where are you going?”

“Get out of here now!”

Several Gigants, large combat weapons with a height of nearly 5 meters, surrounded Raoul and put pressure on him.

The shape may have been modeled after that of a dwarf, but it spread out to the sides, giving it a dull feel, but its posture seemed stable and strong.

And Raoul’s opponent was not only Gigant.

Steel golems about 2.5 meters tall were standing between the gigants, looking for any openings.

“Shoot!”

Ride it! Bang bang!

The gunners mounted behind the castle walls and battle golems were firing crude, trumpet-shaped magic guns.

Of course, it was no threat to Raoul.

“What happened?”

“Magic bullets don’t work at all!”

“Is it a defensive force field?”

“No, something is different. “You’re not even wearing power armor in the first place.”

“It doesn’t matter, just shoot!”

Pubububung! pop!

The magic bullet exploded spontaneously in the air about 3 meters away from Raoul.

It exploded as if it had hit something transparent, which was the telekinetic barrier that Raoul had created.

‘It’s a magic gun. ‘It’s been a while since we’ve met each other.’

Magic guns began to be widely distributed after the advent of dwarves.

The power was very different.

This is because there are so many different types of guns, from entry-level magic guns that anyone can fire as long as they have magical bullets, to high-end types that use the user’s magic to amplify firepower.

The approximate power was decent.

Compared to firearms on Earth, the bullet speed and rate of fire were much lower, but the firepower itself was different.

Because the bullet itself had magic power in the first place.

There are magic bullets that can even penetrate the physical defense force field of power armor.

‘But that’s not the problem.’

The magic gun’s nickname is ‘Money Ghost’.

The price of each bullet was so expensive that some people said it was crazy.

It was handmade, not mass-produced, and the materials used were expensive.

So, dwarves who could make their own used it as their main weapon, but it was considered an expensive decoration among players.

No matter how expensive a monster you hunt, more ammo is consumed.

Anyway, even though it was a magic gun, it didn’t work on Raoul.

Its physical power was less than that of Earth’s firearms, and its magical destructive power was less than that of true magic.

It was an inadequate weapon to pierce the advanced telekinetic barrier.

‘Still, it’s a bit annoying.’

Raoul, who did not like the sound of the explosion and the fragments of magic bullets disturbing the surroundings, lightly gestured.

Clap la la rock! Suck!

“omg!”

“Joe, be careful!”

“no! “My gun…”

Dozens of daggers shot out from behind Raoul’s back and cut down all the muzzles of the dwarves’ magic guns.

“This guy!”

The Gigants forming a siege attacked Raoul with their heavy bodies.

Grumble! Empty!

Auras spewed out from the weapons that were keeping Gigant in check, blocking his approach.

No matter how threatening the Gigant is, only Aurors can stop it.

Even Gigant, who used the Mana Blade, couldn’t get close to Raoul.

“How long do you plan on just watching? “If you were planning on protecting the city with just this much strength, I’m disappointed.”

Raoul extended his hand towards the nearest Gigant.

Geek.

“What? What!”

One Gigant stumbled, and the rider tried to move his body in panic, but was unable to move.

and.

The moment Raoul slightly twisted his wrist.

Shuuuk kwagwagwang!

The 5m tall Gigant flailed and flew through the air and crashed into the steel castle wall.

Perhaps because of its durability, neither the castle wall nor the gigant were significantly damaged, but the dwarves’ eyes were filled with tears.

‘Oh my god. ‘How much does that weigh?’

‘How can you throw Gigant with just a wave of your hand?’

‘It’s a monster!’

Of course, that was the story of ordinary dwarves, and the thoughts of the warchief and elders were different.

“What an arrogant human bastard! “Do you think you can defeat us with some strange trick?”

Tadat hwiiing.

An elder dwarf kicked off the castle wall and jumped down.

And with a flash of light, the summoned Gigant spewed out aura from the huge axe and slashed at Raoul.

Quagwagwang!

“Did you get rid of it?”

“How can you block that with your bare body? Even if we were riding the same Gigant, it wouldn’t be easy.”

“You ugly human!”

Everyone thought that Raoul had been crushed by the elder’s Gigant.

but.

“This profit! “What on earth is this?”

Raoul was still standing in that same position with his arms crossed.

Only three swords were blocking Gigant’s heavy axe, which was burning with aura.

‘Is it master beginner level? ‘Three sacks are enough.’

Raoul realized that his training with Cardenas was not in vain.

In the past, no matter how aura-filled the weapon was, it would not have been able to block such an attack with telekinesis alone.

Of course, it wasn’t a very efficient choice.

‘The mana and mental power consumption is enormous. It’s still a shame that I can’t use it properly in real life.’

Instead, it was very effective visually and as a threat.

The elder Gigant, who jumped off with such force, was not able to approach easily.

And anyway, Raoul’s purpose was not to engage in grappling with the dwarves here.

“stop!”

As Warchief Taro shouted from the top of the castle wall, the Gigant troops and elders took a step back.

Of course, Raoul’s weapons were still in a threatening formation in the air.

“What is your purpose, human? “Why are you making such a fuss here?”

“Are you in charge of this tribe?”

“Yes. “I am Taro, warchief of the Black Anvil Tribe.”

Charalak.

The weapons floating around were sucked into the inventory.

Of course, that didn’t mean there was anyone who could easily see Raoul and attack him.

“Chief Taro, I want to make a deal with you. I am Count Raoul de Furst of the Kingdom of Leuven. He is also the owner of five underground cities south of the Ice Mountains.”

That moment.

Crash. Cracking.

The dwarves who had taken their weapons were wary of Raoul again.

“What? “Are you the leader of the humans in the south?”

“How dare you tell me where this is!”

“Chief, we need to catch that guy right now!”

After the dwarves returned to Geumyeok, it was the humans in the south who fought the most.

Even now, sporadic battles are continuing at the beginning of the Ice Mountains.

“stop! “Everyone be quiet!”

As the person responsible for leading the large tribe, Taro was deep in thought.

He must have had a lot of confidence to come here alone.

The skills he actually showed were outstanding, but he seemed to be hiding a lot.

‘Furthermore, this place is far from the front line, in the middle of the ice mountains. The fact that he had to go through so many cities and tribes to come here…

meant that the person in front of him was a very dangerous person.

I had no intention of touching someone like that and seeing the blood of my own people.

“It’s a deal. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but we have no intention of doing business with humans. So, if you have no other business, leave!”

I have no intention of being hostile, but I also have no intention of joining hands.

Chief Taro thought so, but…

“Wasn’t this necessary?”

thud.

A sack fell from the air.

And that’s what came out of the sack.

“…!”

“Ceradium? “How about humans?”

Ceradium, the mineral that the dwarf race had been searching for, was revealed.

“Do you want to make a deal now?”

Warchief Taro, who was watching Raoul ask indifferently, bit his lip and said.

“Open the gate!”

“Warchief!”

“Are you really planning to do business with humans?”

“You never know what he might do when he gets inside!”

The dwarves, including the elders, were shaken by the warchief’s orders.

“stop. Still not sure? If the author really intended to fight, the blood of his compatriots would have already been shed. “Isn’t that so, guard captain?”

“…Yes, it is. “Many of the battle golems and weapons were damaged, but no one was killed or seriously injured.”

“…!”

“Is that true?”

The dwarves looked down at the castle wall again with surprised eyes.

The entrance turned into a mess.

It was surprising that no one was hurt during the fierce battle.

“And what does it matter how much of a master he is? “Do you really think we can’t handle one author?”

“Of course not.”

“Then just follow what I say.”

“…All right.”

Geek.

As the steel gate slowly began to rise, a smile appeared on Raoul’s lips.

‘Fortunately, it worked out as well as I thought.’

You might be wondering why there was a fight if the intention was to make a deal in the first place.

But this was an inevitable process.

The different races that returned through the gate were basically in a very sharp state.

Moreover, I don’t know what happened in the past, but the hostility they have towards humans is not small.

Can’t you feel their hostility just by looking at the situation in which the different races annihilated the players during the pioneering of the Golden Territory?

‘In such a situation, it is natural that even if you politely send an envoy to request negotiations or a deal, it will not have any effect.’

It took more than three years for me to meet them in my past life and make a deal or negotiation.

If the threat from the empire had not been serious, the conversation itself would not have taken place.

Whatever the method, Raoul’s goal was fully achieved just by being able to negotiate with the dwarves.

‘Now then, how should we cook it?’

Since Raoul already knew the other side’s hand, it was as if he had already won halfway.

* * *

“So, not only will you hand over the ceradium you have, but you will also hand over the city where the ceradium mine is located to us?”

Warchief Taro asked back with an expression of disbelief.

“exactly. “To be precise, it means ‘I will take it away from you.’”

In fact, the ceradium mine is located on the north side of the snowy mountain.

It was one of the underground cities occupied by the empire.

The Ceradium that Raoul possesses is a collection of things that were spread out little by little throughout the gate and dungeon.

“what do you want? “If what you want is Gigant-related technology, I absolutely cannot allow that.”

Gigant crafting was the source of vision and power for the Dwarven race.

No matter how important the ceradium was, I could not hand it over.

But that wasn’t what Raoul wanted in the first place.

‘There is no reason to be greedy for Gigant when you have power armor.’

Well, I thought it would be good if I could get it for myself, but when I looked at it, it seemed like I was completely wrong.

“There are three things I want. First, I would like you to process some material.”

“Material? “What do you mean?”

They already looked curious, wondering if they were from the craftsman race.

Raoul chuckled and took out some items from his inventory.

“Oh! that!”

Not only Warchief Taro but also the elders standing around gathered in front of the desk.

“It’s the demon horn dragon bone Orichalcon. “Is that possible?”

The devil’s horn was obtained after dealing with the devils that I had encountered several times.

Dragon bones were collected from pseudo-dragons among the gate guardians and undead chimeras.

Orichalcon was also an extremely rare magic metal obtained in small quantities from gate guardians and dungeon bosses.

Although it was collected, it could not be processed at all with the skills of Connect’s human blacksmiths.

So, I was thinking of asking the dwarves to visit me.

The dwarves swallowed their saliva.

‘When was the last time you dealt with material like this?’

‘Oh, I want to touch it. ‘How beautiful would something made from that be?’

‘Oh my desire to create is soaring! All I need is that one piece and I have my unfinished hammer!’

The dwarves’ eyes were burning.

“Hmm! These are not easy items, but I can process them well. “Just say anything.”

However, Warchief Taro also seemed to have no intention of giving in.

Raoul, who had fully expected this reaction, smiled and put the item back into his inventory.

“ha.”

Raoul spoke again, ignoring someone’s sigh.

“The second condition is to conclude a non-aggression pact. Of course, I want it to be concluded with me, not with all humans.”

Taro nodded at Raoul’s words.

“As long as the conditions are right.”

Among the dwarf tribes, they were the moderate Black Anvil tribe.

There was nothing wrong with avoiding an unnecessary war.

“The third and final one is….”

“That one is…!”

Warchief Taro’s eyes widened in surprise.
