EP.634
The race that has built the most civilized society on the continent is the dwarves.
In fact, it is a very natural thing without even thinking about it too much. Their outstanding dexterity does not stop at blacksmithing, but they stand out in all areas, including clothing, accessories, and building.
Academic advancement also goes without saying. It’s not that they are reluctant or look down on magic, but because they put a lot of effort into finding ways to replace magic, their science has also developed considerably compared to other races.
Dwarves were a bit more generous due to their innate racial value, but if you look at their material wealth and luxury alone, they could turn even a considerable number of nobles into barbarians.
It is said that the sewage facilities, toilets, and ancient aqueducts that exist in large cities of empires and kingdoms all originated from them, so what more needs to be said? Even if dwarves treat humans as if nothing is wrong, but deep down they consider them barbarians who can’t even clean up their urine and feces properly, there would be no room to refute them.
Nevertheless, the reason why they do not show behavior that is steeped in the sense of being the chosen people is because of the dwarves’ characteristic arrogance mentioned earlier.
The mindset that as long as we know how to communicate well and respect each other, we are all the same. At first glance, it’s a very simple, yet clumsy idea… There is a trap there.
A very subtle trap is that if you don’t communicate well and don’t have mutual respect, there are a lot of problems with being the same person, so there is a high possibility that your fist will start flying.
And when it comes to resolving such complaints, dwarves do not discriminate between time and place.
“Damn it, even if it’s too hard, you have to do it to the extent you can. “What are we going to do now?”
Even if all the nobles inside and outside the empire who had come to respond to Esmuët’s invitation, which could be said to be far-fetched, were looking at them, they were a race that had to say something to relieve their anger.
“Was it that hard to wait just a day or two more? “If you are so hasty when you still have a lot of time to live, how are you going to lead the empire in the future?”
I didn’t know.
The level of the straight ball is so extreme that it makes the viewer’s spine go numb depending on the situation.
I thought at the same time.
I guess this is what my daily behavior could look like.
“Or did you think that since we dwarves are dull to these things, we would ignore them? “How can something like this happen when I’ve tried to empty as much of my already busy train schedule as possible?”
Surprisingly, I moved my gaze quickly, thinking that this was a common occurrence when conducting diplomacy with the Dwarf Kingdom, but unfortunately, everyone who heard the envoy’s complaints, which were neither too big nor too small, was frozen.
Thanks to this, I realized that this situation was not normal at all, so I glanced down and looked at Esmuët, and happened to see her smiling discreetly while looking at me.
Apparently, even this was an unexpected situation for Esmueh. She lightly raised her hand and reassured those around her, then naturally opened her mouth and offered her a seat.
“I’m going to talk about him now… “How about first quenching your thirst while listening?”
Only then did the people around her heave a sigh of relief when she did not show the slightest discomfort. However, the dwarves, who had not been interested in such things from the beginning, seemed to have taken Esmueh’s appearance as a mockery, and opened their mouths with an open frown.
“You’re so clueless again… ”
“I guess you’re reluctant. In anticipation of your hard work, we want to repay you in a small way by creating a 40-year-aged… ”
“… “I don’t know if I’ll pass on it or not, so I’ll just listen to it first.”
Then, with a cautious posture that was completely opposite to his expression, he sat down on the chair provided by the employees and began glaring at Esmuët.
The action was so fluid and natural that I had to exert all my strength in my facial muscles to suppress my laughter.
?
When the dwarven delegation arrived at the banquet hall, it was indeed in the evening when the banquet was in full swing, as Esmuet had said. It was hard to believe even after experiencing it myself, but surprisingly, the banquet was continuing as normal.
It was hard to believe that it was built hastily in just one day, and watching countless people and food pouring into the perfectly prepared banquet hall was definitely an experience I had never had in my life, but it was just that.
Other than that, nothing special happened that required much attention. Of course, that doesn’t mean time passed by just eating and doing nothing.
We had a short conversation because the princess with leech hair came from the Itisel royal family, and I watched the nobles from the allied forces that I had stirred up on the front line cautiously express their regrets, but then left with only a glance, and Esmuët’s brothers, including the emperor and empress. As she sat at the head table and ate with her sisters, she received endless stares from nobles.
It’s just that the people in the royal family were so interested in me and asked me so many things without stopping that I couldn’t even remember it properly.
If I hadn’t heard about how strong the family bond between the royal family was, I would have thought it was just an interesting question about the dragon slayer, but after hearing the situation and hearing it, it was a barrage of questions because I wanted to know what kind of person the boyfriend the eldest daughter had brought was.
If Esmuet had not noticed, the Emperor and Empress would have continued to be captured by the other brothers.
Fortunately, when the emperor and empress left first under the pretext of not taking away the attention that would be poured on the protagonists of the banquet, the other brothers also began to leave the banquet hall in order, and after that, only the most important nobles approached and briefly exchanged greetings. It went smoothly.
It was the dwarves in front of me who instantly changed the atmosphere of the banquet hall from normal to cold.
When they first appeared, their passionate appearance, like the flames of an unquenchable furnace, aroused the sympathy of many people.
Although they are now playing and eating to their heart’s content and laughing hahaha, the guests gathered at the banquet hall were all people who went through all sorts of hardships to attend as soon as they received Esmue’s reckless invitation, which also meant that they were victims who unintentionally went through the process of sharing the same disease.
Of course, it is unclear how much effort the Dwarven Kingdom located in the far northern mountains put in to attend the celebration on time, but they can easily predict that the process would not have been smooth at all.
Some people thought they wouldn’t attend, while others thought they would start attending the next day. Since he broke everyone’s expectations and showed up in a cheerful manner, attention was bound to be focused. Perhaps those who knew about the existence of the ‘train’ that the dwarves spoke of were amazed by its performance, and those who did not know were surprised, wondering how it could come so quickly without a gate?
Speaking as someone who was sitting in the center of the incident and just quietly watching, I was honestly more surprised by Esmueh’s use of Hao Che than anything else.
It’s not a joke, really.
“… Since I didn’t even have a chance to make separate remarks, my purpose was to invite you and have a conversation, even if only in this extreme form.”
“Okay… Certainly, issues related to evil spirits cannot be overlooked… Still, this is a bit… ”
“I admit that it was extremely inconvenient and that the intention was inevitably misunderstood. But I have something to say here too. “Even though I have suggested several times in the past that it would be a good idea to prepare a separate means of emergency communication to prepare for something like this, it is the kingdom that has put it off every time and even refused the request to install a communication crystal ball as a temporary measure.”
“Umm… Still, if you had mentioned it directly… ”
“Didn’t you think it was just a matter of urging me to hurry up and come back two days later, given the various circumstances that came together?”
“Okay… … “I guess so.”
Contrary to the doubts about how effective 40-year-old liquor would be for dwarves, who can live for hundreds of years, if not as long as elves, the dwarves’ expressions improved noticeably with each drink.
However, the expression that has become so good deteriorates in a different way every time Esmuye continues speaking.
“Please do not forget that the Empire not only respected the dwarves’ belief in pioneering a new path that does not depend on mana, but also borne the cost of installing the railway tracks for the train, which was installed for the purpose of smooth exchange between ‘two sides’, as a sign of working together. The Empire does not want to covet and plunder the Dwarven Kingdom’s technology, but rather to coexist in a peaceful manner. “I thought this could be understood just by looking at the way Gwain treated you, Ambassador Hyulgen, but I guess it was a pointless misunderstanding.”
“That can be possible. Of course I know… ”
I only exchanged a few words, but the dwarf who was pointing out diplomatic rudeness just moments ago is nowhere to be found, and the dwarf is left with nothing to say due to past mistakes piling up and causing today’s problems. I can’t believe there’s no popcorn.
As I was looking around, picking up the crusty baguette and eating it, the eyes of the other delegation members, except for the dwarf named Ambassador Hugen, who was talking directly with Esmueh, secretly turned towards me.
Even in this atmosphere, it was fun to look at a strange creature that knows how to pass food down its throat, so while I ate the bread even more intently, the story that was quickly summarized ended with the mood of ‘So, let’s work together and work together well from now on.’
The dwarves, who did not know the detailed story, were deeply moved by Esmuët’s reaction of not blaming it and just passed it off as alcohol, and drank even more, but I, who knew the inner story to some extent, admired Esmuët, who showed a story-telling ability that was more like an interpretation than a dream. I stuck my tongue out while looking at it.
