Chapter 61 – Chapter 61 Reap the Harvest-14
Underground shook his head.
“There is no table, so what about drinks? Let’s get straight to the point.”
“You’re an urgent person.”
“Because they’re not a species that lives as long as you guys.”
With their hands on his knees, the two denels nodded at him.
He was a mayor, but he was a very easy-going elf.
“You said you came from another world. What do you think of Wordsland?”
“I think of it as an idiot town. You didn’t ask me to hear something nice, did you?”
The basement was absurd.
There is a saying that if you are attached to it, it is your hometown, but that is only when your life is guaranteed.
“It was somehow understandable that the military was also a place where people lived. But this is no place for people to live.”
“I think so too.”
When Dodinel agreed, Jiha frowned.
Originally, when outsiders speak badly about one’s home, one is bound to get angry.
Even if it’s hard to live in Korea, I get emotional when I hear something unpleasant from a strange foreigner.
But do you agree
I dug into the basement.
“Normal rank elf Dudinel Camadra. He was once the head of the Camadra family, who was entitled to sit on the elven council, but when he took over as Mayor of Warris hundreds of years ago, he laid down all rights. Out of respect for his authority, Blue Seal and Purple Liberation refrained from direct conflict in Warris.”
“It was a long time ago, but you know it well.”
I did a preliminary investigation, of course.
“This is just a story I heard. I don’t know the truth.”
“What truth?”
“Was the inauguration of the mayor voluntary, or was it driven out?”
Dudinel gave a complex smile.
The basement explained boringly.
“Aren’t you the generation that watched the Millennium War, the all-out war between Blue and Purple? I felt a sense of responsibility and wanted to become a mediator between the two camps, or I was forcibly recruited as a scarecrow without real authority. Which one?”
“It was so long ago that I don’t remember.”
“I’m not curious about the feelings of the old man in the back room either.”
“You speak without hesitation.”
Dudinel only laughed bitterly.
“I can see that they have plans, but it’s because they keep talking about it. Get to the point soon.”
“I don’t like the times right now.”
“In what sense?”
“I think these are bad times. No, more precisely…”
Dudinel confirmed once again that there were only two of them in the room.
“I suspect that the rulers of both Blue and Purple are driving the world this way because they each have their own goals.”
“… Specifically?”
“Why do you think the Summoning War came about?”
This old man saw the dawn of the Summoning War with his own eyes.
Underground listened.
“Nominally, it was a proxy war, a sports concept to enjoy while mitigating the conflict between the two camps. In the name of saying that if the war disappears overnight, you will not be able to endure it without discharging its energy.”
“However?”
“Even so, there is no reason to bring it from another dimension. It was okay to gather volunteers from both sides.”
The basement was lost in thought for a moment.
He is gathering information here and there, but he probably knows less than Dudinel, who has lived for hundreds of years and was once a high-ranking member of the elves.
Being honest is beneficial.
“I don’t know much about summoning. What do you think is strange?”
“Every time I summon a common, a lot of magic stones go into it. This magic stone is a very precious mineral, so it is much more expensive than gold and silver. During the Millennium War, there were hundreds of highland battles between the magic stone veins.”
“That’s the local oil. They say that such expensive items are used to bring slaves to fight…”
I knew that the magic stones needed to summon Underpass Commons were expensive.
However, I didn’t know how precious it was in detail, but according to Dudinel, it doesn’t pay off at all.
“I thought I might have left it as a military dog, but it turned out to be a much more expensive body.”
It was for this reason that even unique ranks could not kill commons out of the blue.
It means that the legend grade is a precious slave called from another dimension while directly consuming expensive resources.
“But calling them out like that and making them fight and kill each other doesn’t pay off. What is it for?”
“I don’t know exactly… I’ve been guessing for a long time. First, I am summoning again and again to bring something I really want to summon.”
“It means that there is a card he wants to draw, so he is constantly digging.”
I had touched the underpass mobile game in moderation.
It was suitable for secretarial work, where a high-ranking person might find it, and leisure to enjoy during spare time.
“Looking at the fact that I haven’t drawn it yet, it’s a pretty rare card, and all the commons that have come out so far are all bad.”
“I don’t know what it means, but it seems like a rough metaphor. And the second is just…”
Dudinel lowered his voice even further.
“The summoning itself has meaning.”
“… What are you talking about?”
“Regardless of what is summoned, I’m guessing that the summoning itself has some meaning.”
“I don’t have anything in particular that I want to pick, but it sounds like you’re blindly digging. I’ve heard that there are users like that. So…”
The basement straightened up.
“Isn’t this very valuable information? What is my intention to speak kindly to me, who is only a common person?”
“I watched what you did.”
“…”
He also knew about the Madrum Tavern incident.
As the underground frowned, the two dinels shook their heads.
“It has nothing to do with me. So you don’t have to be vigilant. Rather, the Rosen family hates me.”
Even if you know the truth about the pub incident anyway, you can’t openly touch the underground because there is no evidence.
But I couldn’t understand Dudinel’s intentions.
“Yes, I have been mayor of this city for hundreds of years. As you said, as a scarecrow without real power.”
“…”
“You are right. I was pushed out of the elven council’s power struggle. But after taking office in this city, I decided to become a mediator between the two camps, not a scarecrow.”
Dudinel sighed.
“But I couldn’t change anything in the end. And my life span is running out.”
“How much is left?”
“Will there be 30 years left?”
It would be a long enough time for humans, but for elves living a thousand years, it must mean something different.
“It’s time for the elves to organize their lives. Me too. My own people who know the circumstances are now urging me to quit this job, hand it over to the next person and get comfortable.”
“However?”
“I don’t want to step back like this. No, even if you withdraw… I want to change something.”
Jiha laughed as the fighting spirit passed over the old man’s face.
“That’s not something someone who’s retiring soon will say.”
“I want to end my long life satisfactorily. I want to see that what I did was not in vain.”
“Why did you choose me?”
The basement asked quietly.
Dudinel replied.
“Because you stopped the summoning war.”
“…”
“You are not just a common with magical powers. If you say you have that kind of power, you probably want to live a better life as a commoner, or aim for a higher rank. With the rare value of being the first common with magical powers and your skills, it wouldn’t have been difficult to become a normal rank.”
Dudinel laughed.
“But you don’t want to do that, you’re rallying the commons and plotting what’s next. Maybe he’s trying to change the world in a big way.”
“What are you going to help me with?”
“I will help with everything in my power.”
She thought for a moment in the basement.
“There will be a lot of blood, can you accept it?”
“I have seen countless lives lost.”
“Even if it’s the blood of your own people, can you close your eyes?”
At the words of the underground, Dudinel let out a troubled sigh.
After a while he shook his head.
“The elves are going the wrong way now. The virtues of harmony and moderation have disappeared, and those who only greed for family power and gain have risen to power. I was once in that group too… After being pushed out and living in this city, I realized that everything was for nothing.”
“It was a frog fight in the well?”
“Okay. Inside the council, their own family struggles to rise a little higher, and within the purple camp, a race called the Elf plots all sorts of plots to take the lead. I do not try to correct the wrong world, I only try to benefit from it.”
“A small society that has rotted away.”
Seeing that Galak was equal to Leticia just now, the elves gave priority to their own logic.
As an old custom from hundreds of years ago.
“I love my people, but I am ashamed of them. And I hope they don’t go the wrong way. If it’s a sacrifice for that… I can’t help it.”
He thought for a moment, then nodded his head.
“I will only accept it if I am really determined.”
The two Dinelles want to change the elven society and, by extension, Warsland, but he lacks the time and ability.
That’s why he decided to find and apply for Hal instead.
“But there is one condition before I give you my full support.”
“You want to test it.”
Although Dudinel had no real power, he was in charge of Warris’ administrators and constables.
The people who run this border city were his hands and feet.
It’s usually normal grade, but it’s not something to be ignored.
Administrative personnel who will be in charge of supplies, rest, and various chores are essential for an organization.
If underground could be used, it would be very useful.
Said Dudinel.
“Let’s end this situation neatly.”
“My way is rough.”
“The method is arbitrary, but try to deal with it so that the Blue Seal and Purple Liberation agree to each other so that they do not enter into an all-out war. If you do, I will fully trust you and provide you with economic and political support.”
Jiha thought for a moment and nodded.
“Good.”
After talking with Dudinel, Jiha went outside.
Regin, Garon, and Rijin were waiting in the hallway.
“Captain, are you done talking?”
“Okay, wait…”
The basement thought for a moment.
If you finish this job well, you can get Dudinel’s support.
In effect, the city’s administrative base is in the hands of the underground.
Underground could have put pressure on Blue’s Enlil and Purple’s Leticia to negotiate.
But then, the group of elves, led by the idiot Garak, would make a fuss.
‘I’m going to wipe them all out, but make sure Purple can’t protest.’
Leticia appeared with a drink in her hand while the basement was making a plan.
She gave her a sneer and frowned at her.
“I don’t want to look at the hairy ones, so get off of them right away.”
“You say you don’t have down hair?”
When Garaon struck back, Leticia’s face turned red, and she glared intently at her basement.
It’s Garaon, but Leticia misunderstood that Jihaga had told the story of the night to Subha.
“Garaon, you are wrong.”
“Huh? The captain did that before.”
“I was wrong. Check it…”
“You are!!!”
She cried out as Leticia rampaged her way.
If it wasn’t for City Hall, he would have been ready to attack.
“The only thing a screaming woman looks cute on is the bed. Do it moderately…”
There was no way Leticia would jump, so she completely ignored the basement.
If you run rampant at City Hall, you are ignoring the authority of Mayor Dudinel.
There was no way that Leticia, who even respected her as a smiling adult, would do that.
“First of all, I give you a mission. And…”
She beckoned Leticia, who was away from the basement.
“You come and listen.”
“… Why do I listen to all human beings?”
Leticia responded in an angry tone like an angry lynx.
“Because listening is more beneficial to you. I will never say such an obvious thing again.”
“Say it. I don’t know if you’ll listen to what I’m doing.”
Her basement frowned at her as Leticia raised her chin arrogantly and shook her arrogance.
It is in front of the subordinates.
Leticia is also conscious of others and pretending to be strong, but… Still unacceptable
“I warned you to think before you speak, but you ignore it.”
If the bobcat is fussy, you should let me know.
Who is the tiger
