Meanwhile, the dwarfs who were getting recovered from the peculiar epidemic were ordered by Lucius to be back to work. After general body checking, Lucius decided to pick only five dwarves who were allowed to go back to the cave.They were all glad about this arrangement, and some of them were still groaning and moaning in pain. But one dwarf man suddenly became angry when Lucius mentioned that only five were allowed to leave. Lucius raised his eyebrow, “Why so, Grumby? Do you feel like complaining?”The dwarf looked at Lucius with fury, “no, Your Excellency. We wouldn’t dare!” he spoke loudly, “but… I have five children and a wife who needs my concern and I have to get paid to feed them."Lucius looked around, and all dwarfs stopped talking and lowered their heads while avoiding looking directly at Lucius. This old dwarf sighed and then made the final decision.The Opa dwarf chose two more dwarfs with the most family member to go back to work so they could get paid and feed their fam
"He is still alive, isn't he? Don't you think we should...?" asked Slumpy, sounding worried."Oh, shut up! Just follow me!" said Snoozy impatiently. He stepped carefully towards the troll and kicked his leg to make sure his condition."Cut this shit off! We better hurry up," whispered Grumby."I guess," said Harpy quietly."Don't worry," said Snoozy reassuringly. "The troll can sleep up to a whole day. Now let's go!""Alright, let's go!" said the four dwarfs, finally decided to leave.They were still scared, so everyone decided to headed towards the path to Kingdom quietly. The rest of the walk wasn't easy, but none of them talked. Once the path ended, they headed into town. They arrived by the next morning.As villagers who never stepped on inside the capital Kingdom area, they looked around them nervously as they walked through the busy streets.Many people, most of them humans, smiled at them. Most of those h
"Excuse me, Sir, but what kind of reward do you mean?" asked Harpy politely.Alex smiled and answered them, "Just wait for a moment..."The hero man then took out a handful size cloth bag then gave it to the dwarf leader. Grumby received it with his wrinkled old hands and thanked the hero kindly. "Sir. I don't know how much this thing was worth. I hope you didn't spend it all on us. We wouldn't be able to pay it back...""Oh, just trust me, you guys deserve this!" assured Alex."Thank you, Sir. But we are aware that all of our works are due to your help to bring the ring back to our village." By saying that, Grumby gave back Alex' bag.Alex smiled and shook his head, saying, "Please don't think that way. I don't like to just take an advantage of people by hiring them freely. It will be not just a one time job, so I expect some more mining activities in the future. And in my belief, an unpaid job just lead to unprofessionalism. Moreover,
So, Pandora decided to ask them about it, "What happened over here?"As soon as Pandora asked the question, Alex turned his head and answered, "This tower is done, but I think to build some more.""Really!" said Pandora excitedly.Alex nodded and smiled. "Yes, by having more Wizard Tower around the Kingdom, we will have great barrier and protection as the wizard power will be stronger. Also it will be able to cover more space. So, we have the possibility to protect the population and also increase their defenses," explained Alex."Sounds great! Now we won't have to worry about the monsters coming and attack us!" answered Pandora.Everyone agreed with that and started to discuss their new plans. Soon, everyone started discussing about what the new structures should look like and where will they build the new ones. A few more hours passed by until the workmen finished cleaning the surrounding.Helen who noted everything while they
Robert noticed a guy approaching him. It appeared that someone had come without an invitation or something. The guy stood before him and said, “Sir Robert.”And the nobleman bowed low. “Oh, hello again. Who might you be?” Robert asked.The guy looked up at Robert in confusion. Then the old nobleman broke the silence with his laughter, "Hahahaha ... come on, Sir Horat. I was just kidding."Robert chuckled and continued, “I am so sorry. Excuse this old man's behavior. Let me start from the beginning. Hello, Sir Horat."With a charming smile, Horat replied, "Hello Sir Robert, I like your sense of humor. I'd like to talk about something with you.""Oh, please come in! Sit down, please. Do you want some tea?" Robert asked him while motioning towards a chair.After taking a seat, Horat started to explain why he came to Robert to talk about something. "You must have heard about our Kingdom's new building project. You don't mind if I tell you right away, do you?"
Alex has accomplished many things in his current life. He made quite numbers of alliance with other races. His title as a hero really fit him well. His determination to create a brighter future has pushed him further and better. Not only that, his love toward the Nousant Kingdom has driven him to devise several plans to strengthen his home. He found mana stone mining spot, built a magical tower, established a school, etc. However, his ambition would not stop. There were always things he wanted to achieve to preserve not only his life but also his people’s lives. He even began to get more intimacy toward his comrades.This time Alex wanted to make magic devices. Magic devices were tools that could store or release magical power. The types, usage, and effects were various depending on the needs. This device could be very handy if used by people who have low affinity of magic. This device would also be very beneficial for sorcerers who run out of magical energy. In battle or war, magic d
On the next day, Alex met up with Saliery, Stella, and Mephisto. The preparation have been made starting with the food supplies then some simple tools and equipment. Once all was set, they embarked by walking.According to Alex’s past experience, it would take about twelve hours for them until they reached Karloch Village from Nousant Kingdom. Alex already planned that the team would take a break twice in the tow and village they would visit later.In the first few hours, Alex’s team were enjoying their time by talking about recent things happened. Some were also joking around to lightened up the situation. Saliery sometimes sang some songs to rejuvenate the team’s energy.After that, they finally arrived in a small town.Mephisto looked so concerned because it arrived in a new place. That also happened to Stella and Saliery. However, Stella patted her big bird to ensure its safety.The townspeople were surprised to see the new faces. It seemed like none of them knew about Alex’s pres
Alex decided to wait until Vincent went back to his house. It has been more than half an hour and Vincent has not showed up.“Alex, should we look around and ask people about Vincent?” Stella requested her idea. She looked bored of waiting.“Let’s just wait for some more minutes.” Alex suggested.“Alright, then.” Stella nodded.Saliery sang a song about a person waiting for beloved one. Saliery’s song made the situation felt comfortable. The tones of the music instrument blended with Saliery’s voices were perfect. The deep meaning of the song also made Alex remember about Remina.Alex began to drowned in his mind. He remembered well how in the past life he left his wife and his child. He got a duty to attend a meeting with other kingdom. He stayed for some days in that kingdom while waiting for the time until he could return to his kingdom again. The feeling of missing someone dear to him, it was so sad. Alex missed the time he could sha
