Chronicle of the Returned King Build the Magic Tower
Not long after the King of Nousant ordered him to build the magic tower, Alex quickly gathered as many people from the kingdom as possible to help construct the said tower. He walked to the royal square along with Germio and Rasheed and started to announce the news. The young man saw numerous people gathered in the square, doing numerous activities from selling groceries or just hanging around at the pub located at the corner of the square.“I don’t think it’s a good idea to get in and spread the news about building the tower,” Germio who seemed uninterested at first chattered as he followed Alex walking toward the pub’s door, “I’m not so sure what to expect with these humans, They seem weak as if they haven’t eaten since days ago and don’t have enough strength..”Alex snickered and swung the door open, smiling at some pub diners. “Why are you so pessimistic, Germio? You’ll never know until you try!”The three men then walked into the counter and ordered something to drink. As their r
Chronicle of the Returned King Construction
Weeks ago, the dwarf village received a letter from the Nousant king that asked them to help mine the manna stones, the main material for the tower. At first, the dwarfs seemed disinterested because they had many things to do, but they agreed when knowing that the king promised to pay them bountiful money.“There’s no way we’re going to reject this offer!” Lucius the chief dwarf spoke to his people, then declared that he would rally some of the best miners in the village to do the job.All dwarfs were filled with joy and enthusiasm upon hearing the news. Just in a short amount of time, almost hundreds of dwarfs were volunteering to mine the magical stones. After a few periods of selection, seven dwarfs were chosen as the main miners. Doc, the absent-minded dwarf appointed himself to be the leader of the group which consisted of other six dwarfs. He was also responsible for reporting the mining progress to Lucius and ensuring the dwarf miners were doing their job.Since that day, every
Chronicle of the Returned King Disease
Almost everyone in the dwarf village wasn't safe from the contagious disease. Only a few people were still healthy from the epidemic. Lucius felt that he needed to inform Alex about the disease that was holding his people down from mining the manna stones. He then ordered one of his trusty dwarfs, named Brokk, to visit the Nousant Kingdom and tell what was happening there.“You should go there, Brokk,” Lucius told him one day from a small hole in the door that led to his room. The chief decided to isolate himself to prevent the illness from spreading to the remaining healthy dwarfs. “I can’t go now, or I’ll risk myself dying on the journey.”Soon, early in the morning while the sun just peeked out from the horizon, Brokk left the village with his loyal donkey and set out to the said kingdom. Brokk finally arrived at the front gate of the prosperous kingdom just when the sun rises high. He jumped down from his donkey and led it to the closed, giant iron gate. Two guards noticed an unus

At the same time, the magic tower construction was still going in the Nousant Kingdom. As the sun rose in the eastern sky, Nousant men woke up from their rest and get prepared for a new day of construction. Early in the morning, the sound of iron clanking and sawing wood filled the air. People were chattering as they worked hard for the tower. Horat and Hector passed the construction and still held a bitter feeling and grudge toward them. The royal advisor’s son seemed displeased seeing the view. He then murmured something, “those simpletons still believe in Alex, aren’t they?”Hector nodded. Horat glanced at him with a cunning smirk carved on his lips, “say, what do you think about provoking those people again, Hector?”“Aren’t you tired, Horat? They didn’t even heed our last warning!” Hector looked at his friend with a confused glare.“This time I know what will convince them,” Horat chuckled, “we’re going to tell those people that the magic tower can affect their cattle and field,
Chronicle of the Returned King Convinced
Stella spurred Mephisto to fly out of the Nousant Kingdom's sky. The enormous size of the azure crow's offspring undoubtedly attracted people's attention, including Germio and Rasheed who took a short break in the middle of the construction. The dwarf squinted to get a better look at who were those two people riding the bird. After recognizing that they were Stella and Salieri, Germio shouted and called, "hey you two! Where are you going?"Upon hearing the dwarf's voice, Salieri looked down and poked Stella's shoulder. "I think we should say goodbye to them.""Who?" Stella replied plainly as she was focused on spurring Mephisto."Dios mío, Stella. That's Germio! How could you not recognize his voice?" Salieri complained.The elf girl rolled her eyes and replied, “all right, all right. No need to be mad.”She flew Mephisto down to a clear field near the tower construction. Both Stella and Salieri then jumped down and were greeted by a question from Rasheed, “where are you two going?”“
Chronicle of the Returned King Miners
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,
