Lord of Training - Chapter 66



Only Krnovel

66. I am a good person.

The dwarves looked fierce.

“You piece of shit! Let’s kill him!”

“That’s right! All devil-like humans must be killed!”

The atmosphere is getting more and more tense.

Well, I have to eat what I gave to become a good person······.

“Kill that bastard!”

“Let’s kill them!”

First, dwarves wielding clubs rushed in.

[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]

Shhh!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They were swinging their batons from all sides, but only the transparent shield was shining.

The conversation went nowhere.

‘Let’s calm down the excited dwarf first!’

[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.1) skill.]

As soon as I used the skill, the Halo skill was released and I immediately threw a punch at a nearby dwarf.

puck!

“Ugh!”

thud!

The dwarf fell backwards and fainted.

My reinforced fists were also quite useful.

“Huh! What is that?”

“Cover!”

[Uses the low-speed flight (lv.3) skill.]

Whee!

It moved by gliding sideways.

Then the dwarves came rushing in again.

Use the Halo skill again to block it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When he saw an opening, he threw a punch.

puck!

“Ugh!”

puck!

“Cough!”

The dwarves fell one by one, and now only the men with fists remained.

[Use the High-Speed ​​Flight (lv.3) skill.]

Paaaaang!

Pufferpuck!

“Eww!”

“Ugh!”

Kukookung!

Without even having to use the Halo skill, I defeated the dwarves with just the flying acceleration and body strengthening (lv. 1) skills.

In fact, the hungry and weak dwarves were no match for me.

In five minutes, there was no dwarf left standing except for the village chief.

“I didn’t intend to knock you out.”

The old village chief asked with a shocked expression.

“What exactly do you want?”

“You must be hungry. Eat something and then talk. You know that even if the dwarves wake up here again, they won’t be able to defeat me, right?”

“what?”

The dwarf village chief looked indignant.

I looked back at the fainted dwarf and said.

“Let’s feed the children first.”

“······?”

***

The dwarves rose one by one, shaking their heads.

“Ugh! My head.”

“Tsk! Where is this human?”

The guys turned their heads and looked at me as if they were going to kill me.

I raised my arms and showed my empty hands like before.

“Please calm down and come and eat something together.”

“what?”

I pointed my finger to the side.

Only then did the angry dwarves notice the women and children eating nearby.

And the village chief······.

“uh?”

“this?”

The village chief filled his mouth with food and gestured.

“You guys should eat first. Then you’ll have the strength to fight.”

As the village chief persuaded them and the smell of food wafted around, the already hungry dwarves began to whet their appetites.

“Okay, let’s eat first and then fight!”

“Tsk! Let’s eat!”

Everyone went next to their families and started eating.

I kept opening cans of food and boiling meat and vegetables in a large pot to feed them.

The dwarves who had finished their food licked their empty plates and grumbled.

Then the children came running.

“Sir, please give me more.”

“OK!”

I served a deep plate full of stew.

And add some meat chunks too.

Children learn firsthand that those who give them food are good people.

The children returned to their seats and began eating again, and only then did the dwarves, one by one, notice and approach them, offering their plates.

“Hmm!”

“Eat plenty. There’s plenty of food.”

The dwarves had such good appetites that each of them would receive five servings of stew.

How hungry must you have been during this time?

It would have been nice if there had been bread, but this would have been more than enough for this meal.

After all, people who eat a lot of canned food tend to be good people.

After the meal, the dwarves gathered at the village chief’s house.

“So, you’re saying that you’re a different human from the ones who attacked us?”

“Yes. Look at the dwarves. There are good ones, bad ones, and bad ones. The same goes for humans. There are bad ones who attack you, and there are good ones like me who want to help you.”

Then a fierce-looking dwarf raised his hand.

“Hmm! There aren’t any bad dwarves among us?”

“There are dwarves as ill-tempered as you.”

“That’s true. What about the ill-tempered dwarf…? Wait, you piece of shit! Are you trying to fight me right now?”

“Look at me! I have a bad temper.”

“This kid!”

“Anyway, I’m here to help you, so you don’t have to be wary. Honestly, I’m someone you all can’t beat. So, just let me treat you to some food.”

“There’s nothing wrong with us, but······.”

The dwarves glanced at each other and trailed off.

Until now, I’ve only seen people with guns, so this is the first time I’ve seen someone offering me food, so it must be awkward.

He said to pull out the bull’s horn in one go.

Now that we’ve successfully(?) made contact with the dwarves, we need to get them out of here.

From that day on, I just took out canned food and served it to the townspeople.

The dwarves were a little reluctant at first, but after the second day, they came to me without hesitation and ate my food.

On the third day after we started serving food, people from neighboring villages also came.

By the fifth day, hundreds of people were lining up.

Thanks to this, the villagers had to cook with me.

What can I say about the sorrow of hunger?

It would be even more miserable if it were my family······.

And exactly one week later, the dwarf I had been waiting to meet showed up.

***

“Let me have a bowl too.”

Usually at this time, there would be a long line of dwarves, but strangely, everyone was just looking around and only one person stood in front of me.

I served him a generous portion of stew in a metal plate.

The man took a few spoonfuls and nodded.

“It’s really delicious.”

“Isn’t it said that the market is the best side dish?”

The man’s eyes lit up when he heard my dwarven language.

“Wow! It’s amazing to hear such perfect Dwarvish from a human.”

“There are many more wonderful things in the world outside that gate.”

The man made an awkward expression.

“Would you like to walk for a moment?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I handed the ladle over to the village chief and followed the man.

Only then did the dwarves line up.

Dwarves carrying large hammers and shields continued to follow.

The man turned around.

“You don’t have to follow me. Just stay behind, Armin, and you guys eat with the other dwarves.”

“yes!”

The dwarf man walked with me toward the mine, accompanied by only one knight.

“My name is Alain Bombard.”

“Tar Urad.”

We exchanged statements with each other.

“It is an honor to meet you, Your Highness Tar Urad.”

Tar looked at me.

“I am a dwarf who is not fit to be king. Just call me Tar.”

“Then I will call you whatever you want. Tar.”

He sat on a stump at the entrance to the Targa mine.

The young escort knight stood at the back, and I sat on the rock opposite him.

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

It was King Tar who broke the silence first.

“What on earth are your intentions?”

“I have no ulterior motive. I just had a meal with the villagers.”

“Ha! Now you come to ask for reconciliation? My brother, the King, was killed when he tried to talk to you. And countless dwarves have died at the hands of humans.”

King Tar trembled with rage.

I shook my head.

“That was done by another human being, not me. If you think of me as a human being like them, you are doing me a great disservice.”

“…?”

I definitely drew the line.

The moment you get even the slightest bit involved with the Kingdom of Bavaria, you become their mortal enemy.

“I am from a different kingdom than the humans who attacked the dwarves.”

“Then tell me the reason. Why on earth did the humans attack us? If you were a third party, you could probably answer.”

“It’s simple. It’s because dwarves are weak.”

“what?”

King Tar frowned.

“I don’t know about dwarves, but human powers tend to dominate rather than embrace the weak. After seeing the dwarves living here for the past week, I can tell you that dwarves are no match for humans.”

“Do you think we will lose to humans?”

“Aren’t the results already out there? How long can we hold out? It looks like the dwarves will collapse on their own in a month or two.”

King Tar bit his lip.

He had an angry and aggrieved expression on his face, but he couldn’t say anything in rebuttal.

The reality of the dwarves that I have observed for a few days is actually more than a month or two.

“And the dwarf shields can stop human bullets, and their hammers can crush human skulls. So they could probably hold out in the forest. But with food running low, further fighting is pointless.”

“So you’re telling me to surrender?”

“No. I’m telling you to build up your strength.”

Tar Urad made a dumbfounded expression.

“There are several human kingdoms outside that gate. The human kingdom that is attacking here now is weaker than the other kingdoms, and its weapons are also the least powerful.”

“Are you saying that there are many kingdoms that are stronger now?”

“Yes. Especially those who aim for this gate next time, the Empire is the strongest place in the other world.”

Let’s tell a little more about the Lacrosse Empire, King Tar’s eyes wavered.

“And they have about 400 more capable people like me.”

I floated up into the sky.

“her!”

Paaaaang!

And flew up into the sky.

He used his high-speed flight skills in succession, and even took out a submachine gun and a rifle from his workshop and attacked the area near the mine.

Then the knights of the guard came running in surprise, but were sent back by King Tar.

As he descended back to the ground, a look of deep anguish appeared on King Tar’s face.

“So, continuing to fight is not a good idea. Even if we somehow stop the humans who entered this gate now, another human kingdom will come here with its own set of troops. Then, they will come with several times as many troops and better weapons.”

First, he continued to attack with facts.

If you hit someone after they’ve already hit you, it’ll hurt more.

King Tar shut his eyes tightly.

It seemed like an expression of not wanting to be disappointed any longer.

‘Did you just swing the whip too much?’

But I felt like I had to tell the story to let them know their reality.

The reason the Kingdom of Bavaria underestimated and attacked the dwarves here was because they still relied on cold weapons such as shields, hammers, axes, and spears.

The dwarves of the western continent were able to cooperate with humans because they came over when magic engineering was not yet developed and quickly caught up with human technology, but the dwarves here are so far behind in technology that humans don’t feel much benefit from it.

But that wasn’t because they weren’t capable.

Because it was a civilization we had never experienced before, and a technology we had never imagined or encountered.

“Phew! I showed you my ugly side.”

“No. You must be very worried, being responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of dwarves.”

“Let me ask you one thing. Why are you telling me this story? Is there anything you want to gain from us?”

“To be honest, I don’t need anything from the dwarves these days.”

“······?”

King Tar tilted his head.

“But it’s different if it’s a dwarf from the future.”

“Dwarves of the future?”

“I want to buy the future of the dwarven kingdom, not the current dwarves.”

“Stop talking nonsense and speak frankly.”

King Tar’s vigilance had largely disappeared.

Their situation was already known, and now it was time to make a proposal.

“Do you intend to leave this kingdom and move to another place?”

“······?”

“I won’t beat around the bush. There is a very large mountain range within my sphere of influence. It has been inhabited by dimensional monsters for decades, so not a single human has lived there. I will establish a new base there and raise the level of dwarven technology. I believe in the abilities of dwarves. They will achieve technology on par with humans in a few years, and in the future, they will create weapons and equipment superior to humans. I want to buy that future.”

King Tar took on a serious expression.

“Of course, it won’t be easy. We’ll be abandoning the land we’ve lived on for hundreds and thousands of years. But there’s no other way now. If we continue like this, the dwarves will continue to starve and will no longer be able to fight against the Baern Kingdom’s army. In the end, the dwarves will lose everything.”

“Ha! How did this happen to us?”

King Tar was greatly disappointed.

The solution is to abandon the kingdom and emigrate.

But I continued to persuade him.

“I will provide you with both material and spiritual support until the dwarves settle in the mountains. Of course, I will provide you with food and other necessary supplies, and I will also provide you with human technology.”

I also explained the orc’s situation.

They also said that they were isolated at the gate, rescued by me, and are now fighting to take over another gate.

And he told me in detail how humans deal with and manage the gates that have appeared in their kingdom.

“Ha! Let’s stop for today. My head is so complicated that I can’t organize my thoughts.”

“Understood. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And when you’ve made up your mind, let me know, and I’ll tell you how to relocate the dwarves.”

“Okay.”

King Tar shook his head and stood up.
