## Chapter 130 – 130. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated In The Baek Family
130. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated in the Baek Family
We left the dwarf corpses scattered at the entrance and entered the village.
It wasn’t like we could get magic stones from the corpses like monsters, and we weren’t so idle as to bury the dwarf corpses. We had no such loyalty either.
“Oh…”
Looking around the village, I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Indeed, they were dwarves. As a race known for their craftsmanship, the buildings were far from ordinary. They not only had an artistic feel but also looked incredibly sturdy.
‘But it seems like it would be quite inconvenient to actually live in.’
The buildings were made to fit the small stature of the dwarves. I would have to bend over to enter those houses. Even if I did, the houses would be small, so it would definitely be uncomfortable.
‘It’s natural that houses made for dwarves to use would be inconvenient. What I need to see here isn’t the convenience of the houses but their artistry.’
I plan to capture the Frost Hammer Tribe dwarves and take them as slaves to the city of Tevra Port. I’ll have the dwarf slaves build a house for me to live in at that place that will become my territory.
‘Hehehe. The artisan race, dwarves! They are the slaves that any noble in a fantasy world should have.’
It’s not just dwarves. Later, I plan to enslave the Kanf… no, elves. Elven sex slaves are a staple of fantasy, aren’t they?
‘The taste of an elf’s pussy. I’m really looking forward to it.’
As I was imagining elves by myself, the door of one of the dwarf houses burst open.
“Ah…?”
It was a female dwarf.
If you were imagining a cute little girl with a small and petite figure, you’d be greatly mistaken. The female dwarves of this world are just like male dwarves, except they don’t have beards.
In other words, they are about a million light-years away from my taste. They are somewhat busty, but their bodies are short and stocky with bulging muscles, making them look fat.
The only exception is a half-dwarf, half-human. Half-dwarf women are said to be quite cute. However, half-dwarves are very rare. In this place that rejects humans, there probably aren’t any half-dwarves at all.
“H, human?!”
The female dwarf’s voice was also gruff.
“Hey, hey. Human? I am the one who will become your master! Why don’t you come before me right now, kneel, and prostrate yourself?!”
I have no intention of killing the female dwarf.
A female dwarf is still a dwarf. They are skilled with their hands. I can’t kill them carelessly. Above all, female dwarves need to be taken for the sake of the next generation.
“A, a crazy human! A crazy human has invaded the village!!”
The female dwarf started to run away, shouting at the top of her lungs.
“……Should I kill that dwarf?”
Yuria had a dagger in her hand. It seemed like she was ready to throw the dagger and kill her as soon as my order was given.
“Leave her be. She’s a valuable labor force.”
“Wouldn’t it be troublesome if that dwarf makes a fuss?”
“That’s what I wanted.”
Dwarves and elves have a stronger sense of kinship than humans, perhaps because their numbers are small. They rarely abandon their comrades when an outsider appears. Of course, there are differences between individuals.
Ding ding ding ding!
The sound of a bell rang out from the center of the village. Dwarves who had been hiding in their houses rushed out and ran with all their might toward the center of the village.
‘The bell is too late. Do they not know that the dwarf warriors were annihilated?’
It’s not that I don’t understand. The Frost Hammer Tribe dwarves trusted the village’s defensive wall too much. Moreover, being in a place like this, they probably haven’t faced a proper enemy before.
Considering that the dwarf warriors who fought us earlier were a bit clumsy, they probably weren’t full-time warriors. These dwarves were steeped in peace.
“They’ll probably gather in the center of the village and try to kill us.”
“Even so, wouldn’t it be dangerous to go head-on?”
“It’s okay. I already know how they’ll come out.”
The reason I came to the Hughes Mountains was because I was confident that I could subdue the dwarves.
I walked leisurely with Yuria towards the center of the village.
As expected, all the dwarves were gathered in the center of the village. Men and women alike were armed with swords, spears, and axes.
‘There are too many. About 60 would be easier to manage. Should I kill the old ones first? No, the old dwarves are more likely to be artisans. Selecting and killing them would be a lot of work. Should I just take them all?’
It would be difficult to manage, but not impossible. When I become the lord of Tevra, I’ll hire several managers, so it would be better to take them all considering the future.
“Young human. Why have you invaded our village and caused such a ruckus?”
A dwarf stepped forward.
He was a dwarf with a red beard, and his armor and weapons were more ornate than the other dwarves.
“Are you the chief of this village?”
“That’s right. I am Ehans Notley, the chief of the Frost Hammer Tribe.”
Ehans Notley.
I nodded, looking at his red beard. Dwarves all look similar, so it’s easiest to distinguish them by their beards. Each dwarf’s beard is slightly different, and their beard decorations vary widely.
Ahem. Ahem.
I cleared my throat a few times and spoke to Ehans.
“Frost Hammer Tribe. I’m giving you dwarves notice. Don’t resist me and obey me quietly. Become my loyal slaves. If you do, I will spare your lives.”
“So, you came to us with that purpose! How did you know we were here?!”
Ehans roared, his face flushed. He pointed at me with the hammer in his hand.
“Advisor! What should we do?!”
An old dwarf came out next to Ehans. He was a dwarf mage wearing a robe and holding a magic staff in one hand.
“Chief Ehans. Do not forget why our ancestors settled here. Why they built a strong wall here. Our ancestors created this paradise for us alone so that we would not become slaves to vile humans.”
Advisor Malef. I know him because he appears in the original story. He is the only dwarf mage in this village. And Malef is the true power behind this village.
“That’s right, Advisor. You are right. But what I’m asking is what we should do. If you are the smartest in the tribe, you must have a solution, right?”
“……Chief Ehans. There are only two of them. Surround them and kill them.”
“That’s right! Frost Hammer tribesmen! Listen well! Surround those humans and kill them! The warrior squad has already been killed by those humans! We must avenge them!”
“Yes, Chief!”
“Kuhhh! My brother was in the warrior squad… Damn it! Humans! I won’t forgive you!”
“Let’s protect our village with our own hands!”
The dwarves moved in a rush and began to surround us.
I was still relaxed, with my arms crossed.
“Master?”
“Ah. Yes. These guys should be made slaves, so kill them appropriately.”
“Yes, as you command.”
Yuria and I took out our daggers and held them in our hands. Yuria often used daggers, and since my body hasn’t fully grown yet, daggers were easier to use than the Hwaryeon Bido.
“Die! Humans!”
The dwarves rushed towards us.
I raised my hand.
Pzzzzzzzt.
Lightning crackled in my hand. The dwarves hesitated, unable to rush at me.
“I think you won’t die from just this much current since you have bodies with better durability than humans. Well, if you die, there’s nothing I can do.”
Discharge.
The lightning in my hand spread in all directions. The dwarves who were electrocuted trembled and fell to the ground.
‘Hehe. As expected, lightning is most convenient when dealing with weaklings.’
That’s the nature of lightning. Unless you use mana to block it, it’s hard to completely block. The current flows through shields, swords, and armor. Unless you made armor with an insulator.
“L, lightning magic! Advisor! What should we do?!”
“That’s not magic. It’s just changing the attribute of mana to lightning. In a way, it’s more impressive than magic.”
“No! Advisor! Praising the enemy won’t make the situation better! What should we do to deal with that human?!”
“There are materials that don’t conduct electricity well, like glass or rubber. Use those.”
“Where do we have time for that now! Look! That woman is also using the power of lightning to knock out our tribesmen! At this rate, we’ll all be defeated! Do something, Advisor!”
The dwarf mage Malef sighed and muttered quietly.
“……Wouldn’t it be better for the chief to think for himself?”
“What did you say?”
Ehans asked back with a serious expression. Malef shook his head and said,
“We have no choice but to use the weapons our ancestors left for us.”
“…Do we really have to use that? My father, the previous chief, told me not to use it unless the village was on the verge of destruction… Isn’t it dangerous?”
“It’s not dangerous, but it can only be used once.”
“Can’t the Advisor just use magic to kill those humans?”
“I’m old, and my magic power is almost gone. I can’t deal with those humans. Chief, this is a crisis for the village. Use the weapon. Or would you rather become slaves to those humans because you’re too attached to the weapon?”
“We will never become slaves!”
Ehans took something out of his pocket. It was a blue bead. Ehans, holding the bead tightly in his short hand, hesitated for a moment, then made a determined expression and threw it to the ground.
Crack!
The bead shattered.
Immediately after.
Space split open, and something took a heavy step.
It was a giant golem over 5 meters tall with a body made of stone and metal. It was the ultimate weapon that their ancestors had created long ago using magic and engineering.
The Frost Hammer Tribe’s magic and engineering skills had both fallen behind the past, so they could not reuse this golem after using it once. To reuse it, it needed maintenance, but their technical level was much lower than in the past, making maintenance impossible.
So, this golem was a kind of ancient relic.
“Great Golem King! Kill those who have invaded our paradise!”
“Hehehe.”
I smiled with satisfaction as I watched the golem approaching me.
Of course, I knew about the existence of that ridiculously named golem. And I also knew that despite its ridiculous name, it had quite a strong power.
[Hacking successful.]
[The Great Golem King can be hacked for 5 minutes.]
“Stop. Golem.”
The golem stopped.
“How can this be! Why is the Great Golem King listening to that human?! Advisor! Say something!”
“Uh… It seems that human has done something.”
They were flustered. I gave the golem another command.
“Smash the ground with all your might.”
The golem raised its right leg and slammed it down on the ground. It was moving exactly as I had intended through the hack.
Kwaaaang! A light earthquake occurred around us.
I was surprised. Its power was stronger than I thought.
“Wh, what! Was the Great Golem King originally this powerful?!”
“That can’t be… The Great Golem King was severely damaged. That’s why I said it could only be used once… It seems that the Great Golem King is able to exert its original power.”
“No! Isn’t that not important right now?!”
“……Didn’t the chief ask?”
“What should we do? Advisor! Tell me a solution quickly!”
“……There is no solution. We are finished.”
“Advisor! You have magic! Do something with magic!”
“Magic is not omnipotent.”
“Th, this…!”
I looked around at the dwarves. The dwarves were panicking and afraid as the golem turned against them. It was a giant golem over 5 meters tall. It wouldn’t be strange if they were crushed to a pulp with one punch.
“I’ll ask again. Kneel before me and obey.”
“Shut up! You vile human! Even if we die, we will never become your slaves!”
Ehans shouted resolutely. I think that guy needs to be killed.
Just as I was about to move the golem with my will,
A dwarf with a black beard jumped out and stabbed Ehans in the abdomen with a knife.
“Keuk! Fesers! My brother! Wh, what are you doing!”
“I am succeeding the chief. Brother.”
