Arms dealer in another world

Enemies can be partners

As I went deeper underground, the smell of blood became darker. Cecilia knew this was a very bad sign.

As we go deeper and deeper into the basement, we get closer and closer to the village of the Eunuchs. However, what does it mean that the smell of blood becomes darker as it descends?

“Something bad has happened. ”

“Of course. It's bad enough for us now. ”

It was as the guard said. Both hands were tied with ropes, and they were being smuggled by a swarm of Dwarves. If things were any worse than they are now, they would only be executed here.

Cecilia said again.

“We're not talking about us. The lack of a silver hammer. Something big must have happened. ”

“Aren't those guys dragging us a silver hammer tribe? ”

“They are not a tribe of silver hammers. Blessing

The sword is different, and above all, the tribe of Eun Chi is not that progressive. "

“Then maybe something happened to the tribe, or maybe the tribe itself that used to live here has changed. ”

“I think so too...

A dwarf interrupts the conversation.

“What are you talking about! ”

While holding up the axe, he was ready to cut off his head if the conversation continued. The escort and Cecilia had no choice but to stop talking.

Cecilia, as well as from the security standpoint, could not say that the situation is good now

C. Rather, it's close to the worst because we don't know when we'll die.

But the guards had a cornerstone of faith. This isn't the first time I've been through this.

Most of all, these dwarves didn't try to kill Cecilia or the guard right now. If he had, he would have attacked immediately, without dragging his horse for long.

Instead, they chose to take them captive. Captured means willing to have a conversation somehow.

If the other person is willing to talk properly,

It can be created in an advantageous direction. That's what the security guard believed.

After a long haul, the guards and Cecilia arrive at the village of the Mudskipper tribe.

Stone-stained homes in giant underground caves where even the biggest monsters, such as the last Dwarves, Humans, Elves, and Horsemen, could live without problems, were always seen fishing boats.

Even though it is underground, there is no way that a single point of sunlight can come in, the surroundings are not dark. It was thanks to the magical lamp embedded in the ceiling and walls.

The ceilings, the walls, they just shredded.

Not only is it neatly trimmed, but it is also decorated with detail. Wherever I turned my eyes, I could see the results that were usually difficult by hand.

‘As I've heard, Dwarves are no small barbarians living underground. ’

The security guard looked around the landscape. Clearly, if you are this skilled, you will also expect to be entrusted with the role of a "living person."

“Bring him here!"

“If it starts to rot, it's hard to deal with! ”

You look at the sound of words and you see a terrible light.

You can see the wonder. The dwarves in the corner were carrying the bodies on a cart, looking like a group of men who were guarding them while the bodies were piled up.

The guard who saw the bodies asked Cecilia a few questions.

“Are those bodies? ”

“Looks like a silver hammer. ”

“I see.”

I guessed what was going on. There was a war, whether civil war or an external enemy, and it was obvious that those bodies were caused by the consequences.

On the contrary, the timing was bad. Hapil

Since the war had just ended, everyone came from a sharp situation.

The guard's head rushes back. In this case, I wrote a scenario of how to deal with the opponent and what to say.

Of course, a conversation in this situation is important, but it is also important to write a scenario in advance.

What you cannot do if you do not move according to the expected scenario, or if the scenario fits to some extent, you can take advantage of the situation.

‘Whether the Dwarves waged a civil war, or if they waged war with other forces...'

Such security and where Cecilia was taken were the largest buildings in the village.

It seemed to be a place that used to be more like a town hall than a house.

Inside the building, only one dwarf sits in a chair while several dwarves are busy.

For a large table and a small dwarf, he looked like he was sitting on a chair that felt too big.

“Chief, we have an intruder. ”

“Intruders?”

“Yes, humans and elves. I don't know what's going on here, but I think I caught it. ”

The chieftain, bound, focused his gaze on Cecilia rather than on alternating guard lines with Cecilia. Then I spit on the floor.

“Humans and filthy elves. What an unwelcome intruder. ”

"Dirty Elves." At that moment, I thought that Cecilia would recognize the Dark Elf and say this, but I didn't think so.

Perhaps the Dwarf who was called a chieftain despised the existence of the Elf. More than the same Dwarf or human escort.

‘I saw in the book that usually Dwarves and Elves don't get along very well. Is that why......

After finishing his thought, the guard looks at Cecilia. It meant that he wanted to talk about it. I felt a little more fond of the human side than the ‘Dirty Elves’.

Cecilia nods. Soon, the guard said.

“Nice to meet you. Chief."

The chieftain spoke in the guard's words.

“You have no reason to be called chieftain, not of your own kind."

“So, what's your name? ”

“Gellod! Call me that! ”

“Very well, Gellod. ”

Normally, a higher status person likes to be called status. However, this gelrod was a different shape.

The guard said again, thinking it was a rather special style.

“Gellord. Apparently, he's been in a big war. ”

“Yes, that's right. I can see it in your eyes. ”

“I heard this was a village of the Silver Slug Tribe. What the hell happened? ”

“We and the tribe of silver hammers waged a war. The silver hammer tribe was defeated. I killed every last one of them who didn't deserve to live. ”

A moment ago, the security guard remembered a pile of bodies. Although I did not take a closer look, there were definitely many corpses of men and women aged.

Obviously, the tribe was wiped out in the battle against them. Cecilia's expression stiffens to see if she feels the same way.

“Then it's my turn to ask.

Same. Who are you guys, and why are you here again? If you tell lies, you will not survive. ”

“Yes. My name is Guard, and this Elf here is Cecilia. ”

“Security? That's a strange name. ”

Gellord looks suspicious, even though he thought the guard had an alias.

The guard said it again.

“My name may sound strange, but it's definitely my real name. ”

“Okay, let's skip that. What brings you here? ”

The guard whispered to Cecilia before answering.

“Let's just say it's the truth. ”

If the silver hammer tribe had survived, Cecilia, who knew them well, would have led the conversation. However, the Eunuch tribe was annihilated, and the first time the guard started talking, it was the guard.

Cecilia thought it best to leave the conversation to him first.

You're a really good talker. If you are guarding again, I will not talk without saying anything in the same situation.

Cecilia nodded, and the security guard with permission said.

“We are here because we have business with the silver hammer tribe."

“That's too bad. There are no more silver hammers in the world."

“It was unexpected, as you said. However, we have come because we have business with the silver hammer tribe, but they are irrelevant to them. I want you to know first that you don't have enough silver ingots, and you don't have any feelings. ”

Saying you're friendly with the Silver Chi tribe in this situation, soon as you kill them

It can be said that you hold a grudge against the Dwarf tribe at hand.

As soon as Gelerod understands that, the execution order may be dropped.

Gellod smiles as he glances at such security.

"You're so weak, I don't think anyone's human. Is your life worth dying for? ”

“I just don't want to die under the guise of your enemy. ”

“Poor bastard. Well, apparently, you don't want to give your life for the Silver Hammer people. ”

First of all, we're clear of executions here.

The guard asked carefully.

“But, who are you? ”

“We are the Red Crystal tribe. ”

The guard turned his gaze toward Cecilia. Cecilia whispers.

“One of the dwarf tribes with whom the empire is not well connected."

“So these are also the Alliance of the Rebellion? ”

“It's not like that. ”

“Then can you tell me about us? ”

“They have also heard that they have a bad relationship with the Empire, although they do not think they will turn us over to the Empire.

“Got it.”

After a quick discussion, the guard told Gel Lord again.

“We are members of the United Nations. ”

“The Alliance of the Anti-Empires? Are they not Imperial dogs? ”

“Of course. I'm just here on business as a member of the Anti-Imperial Alliance and the Silver Hammer Tribe. ”

Gellord ordered me to look at that guard and Cecilia.

“Bring me one of the prisoners! ”

An old dwarf who was about to die.

This was dragged in. The prisoners from the silver hammer clan must have been.

“The Allies here are members of the Rebel Alliance." You two know each other? ”

The old dwarf whistles to Gellod, who destroyed his tribe in fear of the end of the question.

“Well, yes! Our tribe, in the chief's will, has formed a alliance with the rebel Empire! ”

“I see.”

Gellord winks. Then a servant comes forward and beats the prisoner to death with an iron mace.

Cecilia was troubled by the sight, but the guard did not have a single eyebrow.

“Do you trust us now? ”

“Yes. You didn't lie. ”

“Yes. How far have we gone...?"

“Shut up. Lock these fellows up for now. ”

“I understand.”

Immediately, the Dwarf soldiers took the guard and Cecilia and put her in prison.

The Dwarf prison was nothing like the prison on Earth. A cage on one side.

It was the same as being easy to monitor.

The guard and Cecilia, trapped in one blow, sigh.

“That's a tough break. ”

“At least the worst of times, I think we've all been spared. ”

“Thank God for this? ”

“Apparently, the Red Crystal Tribe has just taken over. That's why he's been so busy that he postponed our settlement. This gives me time to think about what to say to them and how to deal with them. ”

“… even in this situation,

I envy you. ”

“It's a virtue to remain calm and cool in situations like this to live long. ”
