Episode 124

62. Gained Skills – 2

Since he started learning blacksmithing skills from Carmen, Lee Han has been going to the blacksmith street every morning.

At first, some dwarves were suspicious of Lee Han, who often visited Carmen’s workshop on Blacksmith Street.

It was because of the chaotic situation inside Dwarven City and the events taking place on Blacksmith Street.

But things changed after Carmen told her that Lee Han had saved Dwarven City from its food crisis.

The dwarves of Blacksmith Street began to welcome Yihan.

Anyway, Lee Han is the one who resolved the crisis in Dwarven City.

It was impossible to refuse someone who helped the city, even if he was an outsider.

Of course, no one denied that part of their hospitality was due to the fact that Lee Han occasionally cooked for them in empty streets.

“Oh my! It’s hot! Working in front of the furnace all day makes me want to drink something cold!”

As I was pounding iron under Carmen’s teachings, when it was time to take a break, dwarves came to me like ghosts.

Judging from the fact that she brought various fruits and snacks with a bright smile, it seemed like she wanted me to make her some juice today.

“Huh? What?! This is how you smelt iron! Carmen, this girl really teaches poorly! If you come under me, I can teach you better!”

“The craftsmanship is a bit shabby. Carmen, that guy does his craftsmanship so sloppily. Listen. Lee Han. Would you like to visit my workshop? I will teach you the ultimate in dwarven craftsmanship.”

“Carmen, that guy is terrible at handling gems. Since ancient times, gems require delicate skills and excellent aesthetic knowledge, but that weapon maker is so ignorant that he is far from that! If you come to me, I will teach you well!”

The dwarves smiled brightly as Lee Han made them a cool, sweet juice with ice.

And he said after seeing the works he had created under Carmen’s teachings.

Carmen reached for the axe next to her as they tried to find fault with her even a little.

“Get the hell out of my disciple’s presence! You dirty bastards!!”

“Oh my! How dare you say you want to become the teacher of the hero of Dwarven City with such mediocre skills?”

“What? Showing off?”

“The only thing you know how to do is make weapons.”

“Listen, Lee Han. You’re a farmer, aren’t you? Don’t you want to come to my workshop and talk about how to make farm tools?”

Dwarves are not very good at teaching their skills to other races.

This was because they thought that other races could not imitate the talents of dwarves.

But Lee Han was different.

Since he was naturally good with his hands, he quickly absorbed the basics that Carmen taught him, and the other dwarves who occasionally came to watch him were jealous of him.

Hero of Dwarven City.

Add to that his outstanding cooking skills, and there’s nothing to hate about him.

Naturally, the dwarves wanted to take Yihan to their workshop and teach him at least one more thing, and Carmen thought she was going crazy because of their ridiculous scouting offer.

“It is enough to learn from Carmen.”

“Ahem. I see. That’s too bad. That’s too bad.”

“And just giving me some advice every now and then helps me a lot.”

“Khuhhhhh.”

“What an obvious thing.”

The dwarves grin shyly.

It was when Lee Han, who had spent another pleasant day like that, returned to the hotel.

“Mr. Lee Han. Welcome.”

Eric was waiting in the room with a serious expression.

His work was over and he was enjoying Dwarven City with his siblings, but the serious expression on his face meant that something was wrong.

“What’s wrong with your expression?”

“Things are getting a bit strange in Dwarven City right now.”

“You think it’s strange?”

Because he had been staying in the workshop on Blacksmith Street, Lee Han was unaware of the current situation in Dwarven City.

When the other dwarves who were looking for the workshop didn’t say anything and he just looked puzzled, Eric said with a serious expression.

“It is said that the movements of the monsters in the Black Mountains are becoming strange.”

Aren’t the movements of the original monsters strange?

Lee Han thought for a moment and then took out the spider web from his bosom to call someone to talk more about this matter.

While he was working in Dwarven City, Hongryeon decided to investigate the Black Mountains.

I pulled at the spider web, thinking she might know something.

“Are you trying to sing Hongryeon?”

“huh.”

“When will you come?”

“I don’t think it will take long.”

After pulling the spider web and eating at the restaurant, I came out and saw a woman waiting in the hotel lobby.

It was Hongryeon.

She looked obviously tired, but as soon as she saw Lee Han and Seol Yi, she lightly raised her hand.

“Open… … .”

“What the heck? It looks like a beggar.”

The dark circles under my eyes are getting worse and my skin is also getting dull.

She looked like she hadn’t washed properly in a few days and said with difficulty as soon as she saw Lee Han.

“hungry…….”

“Did you eat properly?”

“What about food? I was busy so I just chewed on something dry… … I’m hungry… … I want a drink… … .”

“I think it would be better to eat something first.”

Lee Han rented the hotel kitchen and prepared a simple meal for her.

She ate and drank beer and food in a hurry as if she had been waiting for it, and only after filling her stomach to some extent did she seem to regain some of her strength.

“Oh my. Seriously. This is terrible. This is terrible.”

“What happened?”

“At first, the monsters in the Black Mountains weren’t that serious. They were just blocking the road. But then suddenly, the monsters started to change. There’s a road leading to Dwarven City, right? The monsters have taken over that place. The road we came from was also closed.”

“What? So Dwarven City is isolated now?”

“Yeah. And I don’t think this is just a simple isolation issue.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

Hongryeon’s eyes lit up as she drank the strong alcohol in one go.

“Those guys. I think they’re going to attack Dwarven City.”

***

Inside a dark cave in the Black Mountains, a boy appeared in front of a giant man sitting cross-legged.

“… … Unfortunately, it seems that the plan to throw Dwarven City into chaos has failed.”

It was an expression of no regret at all.

At the boy’s mocking words, the giant, who was sitting cross-legged, had six eyes gleaming in the darkness.

In an instant, a red aura rose from the darkness.

Even though it was showing hostility towards him, the boy just smiled.

“Why do you look at me like that? I’ve done everything I had to do.”

His mission ended with killing dwarves in Dwarven City to create a sense of crisis.

The giant became even more hostile towards the boy who mentioned it.

“Yaksha Grand Master. It seems that it is time to move. You should quickly use your subordinates to attack Dwarven City.”

– … … Even if my subordinates suffer great damage because of it?

The voice echoing within the cave was filled with hatred.

But the boy just shrugged his shoulders as if such things had nothing to do with him.

“Your plans failed. Blockading Dwarven City, and planting disease in the Golden Sea Wheat fields to cut off their food supply. All of it. All of it failed.”

The corners of the boy’s mouth go up.

He shrugged as the red eyes that had been facing him disappeared back into the darkness.

“If Dwarven City falls, the world will be thrown into chaos. Then, the power of our forces of chaos will grow stronger.”

– … … Who is the one who is interfering with this plan?

“This is a human named Lee Han.”

– It’s him again.

It was a name I had heard several times before.

Humans were clearly extinct due to the forces of chaos, but humans suddenly appeared.

How many plans has that one human being ruined?

The giant, whose teeth were chattering, slowly got up from his seat and glared at the boy.

– When do you plan on dealing with him?

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

The boy bared his teeth at the six eyes staring at him.

The smile that had been on my face just a moment ago had already disappeared.

“You do what you have to do.”

There was no answer.

But the boy knew that this was the Yaksha Grand Leader’s affirmation.

“Then please take care of the rest~.”

As the boy was about to leave the cave, speaking playfully, the Yaksha Grand Master opened his mouth that had been closed.

– What are your next plans? Two hundred thousand.

At that question, the boy, Du-eok-sini, laughed coldly.

“Well, first of all, I guess we should finish up what we were doing on the elf side, right?”

***

A new chaos was coming to Dwarven City.

As Hongryeon said, Dwarven City is isolated.

Although Lee Han was able to secure a stable supply of food by farming, the story of monsters infesting the area outside the city was enough to throw the city into chaos.

“They say the chariot unit is on the move.”

While Lee Han, who had come to the workshop as usual, was working, Carmel sipped her beer and said.

This is the combat unit with the most powerful destructive power in Dwarven City.

He stroked his axe at his side as he said that a force of several dozen tanks equipped with turrets made of magical engineering and other units were preparing to attack the monsters blocking the Dwarven City.

“Maybe I should go out and fight too.”

“Ms. Carmen, you’re a blacksmith?”

“That’s obvious. We have to protect our city. There are plenty of people who can’t fight.”

“I see. But don’t push yourself too hard… … .”

It was when Lee Han spoke with a bitter smile.

Suddenly a huge explosion echoed through the city.

– Wheezing! Wheezing!

The sound of the alarm echoing throughout the city brought most of the people in the workshop, including Lee Han and Carmen, out onto the streets.

Black smoke was rising from the area outside the city.

“I guess something’s wrong. You should go to the hotel.”

“Yes. I’ll stop by the hotel and then go right away.”

“Whew. I have one disciple… … .”

“Hey, disciple! You stay out of harm’s way!”

“Yes! Human disciple Lee Han! You will learn my techniques later!”

Carmen ground her teeth as the passing dwarves patted Ihan and made comments.

How dare you try to steal my little privilege.

I can never forgive you.

Just as I was thinking about striking them one by one with the axe I was holding, there was another explosion and black smoke rose.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“yes.”

‘Is Eric okay?’

There was an explanation, and just in case, he lent Gaia’s Scythe to Eric.

Lee Han, who thought he would be able to evade the situation even if an emergency occurred, ran straight to the hotel.

After parting ways with Lee Han and arriving at the entrance of the city, Carmen was left speechless by the sight unfolding before her eyes.

“Stop it!! Stop it!!”

-Kwaaaaang!!

“Eww!!”

“Fuck!! I can’t let this happen!!”

At the entrance to the city, monsters were pouring out like a tidal wave.

The city’s guards and volunteers were dealing with the artillery fire, magic, and monsters that were flying toward them.

“What the heck is this… … ?!”

Carmen gritted her teeth and approached the dwarf who was busily conducting and asked.

“What’s going on!”

“The monsters are attacking Dwarven City! If this place is pushed back, the civilians will be in danger… …!!”

At that moment, a huge monster in the midst of the waves of monsters began to charge madly towards the defense line.
