Chapter 213 Secret hidden underground (1)
A day like no other.
Roman Dmitri, who was engrossed in training alone, received a report from Hans that he had found something underground in the iron mine.
‘There is an artificially created passageway. It is realistically impossible.’
Iron mine underground.
The work of drilling tunnels is to secure the road artificially.
It made no sense that an artificially created passage was formed under it when it was to make the land, which was tightly packed with soil and stones, into a shape suitable for the work.
Think about it. It is a space that does not allow human access in the first place.
How the hell did you build the underground passage and what is it for?
perhaps.
There was a possibility of a dungeon.
According to historical accounts, archmages make their own nests in spaces that are physically inaccessible.
Arrived at the iron mine.
It was a place where you had to cross several mountains, and as you followed Morkan’s guidance, you saw a huge hole.
“Here.”
Passage down to the basement.
It was definitely artificial.
After moving along it for a long time, the scene that put an end to the fact that a person’s touch unfolded before my eyes.
“You have no idea how embarrassed I was when I saw this too. When I first investigated the ground for mine work, I obviously did not discover that there was such a space underground. However, as the shaft was drilled, the empty space formed a void, which caused a collapse event. Who the hell made this underground?”
huge door.
At the end of the passage, a steel door blocked the way.
It wasn’t just plain steel, it was steel with patterns imprinted on it, and the existence of the door proved that people could come in and out through this place.
For Roman Dmitri, this was not a matter to be overlooked.
The endless mountain range was a strategically important location for Dmitri, and he needed to make sure of it.
“Call Felix.”
“All right.”
It can raise an aura and cut through steel.
However, in preparation for the possibility of a magical trap, I tried to open the gate through Felix.
after a while
Felix has arrived.
Felix immediately inspected the door and came to a quick conclusion.
“The entire steel door is permeated with magical energy. If you tried to force open the door, it’s very likely that the mana explosion caused the underground passage to collapse. First of all, I will use mana to eliminate the possibility of an explosion.”
It was the beginning of a tedious task.
3 days after that.
Felix clung to the steel door and carefully drained the mana.
It was a sophisticated job that I couldn’t even dare to do with my tolerable skills, and I was drenched in sweat while working as Felix.
When three days passed like that. In front of Roman Dmitri, Felix finally succeeded in opening the gate.
“… The door is open!”
anger.
Mana raged.
People’s attention was focused on the aura of mana spreading throughout the steel door.
Sigh.
The door is open.
It was then.
Just as Felix was about to check the other side of the door with anticipation, a violent hand grabbed him by the back of the back and threw him against the wall.
The feeling of embarrassment was short-lived.
When Felix raised his head to confirm who had thrown him, Roman Dmitri jumped forward and blocked the space where Felix was.
OK.
Papa papak-
Dozens of arrows hit Roman Dmitri as they were.
* * *
Beyond the door.
The existence of the arrow was captured by a keen sense.
Roman Dmitri reacted quickly, sending Felix back and blocking all arrows with a shield of sword.
tat tatak.
The arrow fell to the floor.
Felix, with a bewildered face, grasped the situation and spoke in a trembling voice.
“It seems to be a dungeon with traps installed.”
just now.
Felix couldn’t react.
The arrow attack was threatening enough to overwhelm the magician’s senses, and if so, it meant that humans were not allowed to enter this place.
It was an ironic situation.
A trap that fires arrows as soon as you open the door and mana containing the energy of an explosion while recognizing that it is a passage with the existence of a steel door.
said Roman Dmitry.
“From now on, I will check inside.”
“Dangerous! There may be some traps lurking in the dungeon. Even if it takes a little time, I think it would be better to fully grasp the existence of the trap.”
“no. If there are creatures living here, there is a high probability that they will be aware of our existence the moment the door opens. The longer we delay, the greater the risk we must bear. You wait here.”
took a step
Judgment was made and everyone agreed that it was for the best, even if it was risky.
widely.
stepped through the door.
I expanded my senses and prepared for unexpected variables.
only ten steps.
Shortly after entering, the wall cracked and a weapon equipped with arrows appeared.
Papapapak.
It was a surprise attack.
Hundreds of arrows were fired from all sides, but Roman Dmitri blocked the attack again with a sword shield.
The trap started then.
Every step they took, arrows were fired in surprise, and in some places, the ground suddenly sank, revealing sharp spears.
and.
‘… poison?’
Acrid gas was ejected.
It was a very lethal type of poison for ordinary people, but as soon as Roman Dmitri ingested it, he immediately raised mana and detoxified it.
It is Roman Dmitri who experienced the poison of Sichuan Tang Gate.
The existence that formed the underground space made many preparations, but none of the traps worked because they met the wrong opponent.
This made it clear.
Even though the owner of this place made a passageway, he contradictively did not allow others to enter.
‘This is how the trachea of the Jegal family was.’
The Five Great Waves of the Righteous Sect.
If Sichuan Dangmun struggled with poison, Jegal Sega drove the demonists into a corner with his brilliant mind and an engine-breaking method of setting up traps in advance.
Even then, Baek Joong-hyeok’s armed force thwarted the opponent’s plan.
Although Zhuge Sega was a genius acknowledged by the people, there was no way to handle force beyond his plan.
at last.
For a trap to be successful, there must be some room for it.
Roman Dmitry did not allow such room and in an instant broke through all the pitfalls of the subterranean space.
The end was finally in sight.
There was a space leading to the inside at the end of the street, and suddenly a human voice was heard from there.
“Stop!”
A thick, angry voice.
It was as expected.
Beneath the endless mountains lived life.
* * *
said the owner of the voice.
“This is our land. If you get any closer, I can assure you that your life will not be guaranteed.”
A raspy voice.
The unknown was seething with hostility.
if it were a normal situation.
Roman Dmitri would have had room for compromise, but the fact that this was an endless mountain range was a problem.
“I am Roman Dmitri of the Dmitri family. The endless mountains are Dmitri’s territory and we found an underground passage while developing an iron mine. Reveal your identity and reveal your identity. If this is not explained, I cannot stand by as a threat to Dmitry.”
endless mountains.
It was Dmitri’s safety net.
Foreign invasion was not allowed there, and Roman Dmitri formed the last bastion for Dmitri in the endless mountains.
After starting to create an environment like Mt.
Farming using the plains of the mountains has developed, and if time passes like this, Dmitri will be able to become self-sufficient.
however.
What if there was a creature unrelated to Dmitri in the endless mountains?
Unpredictable variables made the meaning of the last bastion overshadowed.
“dog sound! We have no reason to explain to you!”
“That is not a matter for you to decide. On the continent, the endless mountain range is stated as Cairo’s land, and Dmitri inherited that right. I am not trying to negotiate with you. Should I get rid of the beings who formed a base in Dmitri’s land or should I acknowledge your right to live? thinking about it If the current attitude is maintained, the situation cannot be improved.”
Shuk.
I drew my sword.
beyond space.
I heard the sound of hurried movement.
However, their form in contact with mana was a little different from that of normal humans.
It was then.
“Damn you human bastards. Do not force human laws against us!”
with an angry voice.
The owner of the voice appeared before my eyes.
* * *
Small stature.
odd body.
bushy beard.
Their physical characteristics pointed to a being.
‘… Dwarf?’
sure
They were heterogeneous.
They are a race of artisans known to have been blessed with the anvil, and have similar physical conditions to humans, but they are completely different from humans.
In fact, this race is not a legendary being.
Although not common, it existed on the continent, and in the southern jungles, dark elves crossed the sea and there are rumors that sirens’ voices can be heard on nameless islands.
And occasionally.
Heterogeneous slaves appeared in the slave market.
Calling them was expensive, and in the case of Dwarves, they were usually sold to smithies.
said the dwarf.
“It is none of our business how humans divide their borders. We have settled down here underground since long ago, and it is a fact that no one can deny. Did you say Roman Dmitry? I have lived two hundred and eighty years this year. Even when I was born on this land and received the blessings of my people, humans never showed up here, but on what ground do you claim this place as your land!”
His voice was full of hostility.
heterogeneous.
They hate humans.
In the past, there was a record that they lived in harmony with humans, but the greed of some people who enslaved the different races led to the ruin of the relationship.
Now, the emotions that have been passed down from generation to generation are deeply embedded in his bones.
Dwarves could not accept Roman Dmitri’s existence for the sole reason of being human.
‘He’s shaking.’
Deweep’s hand.
The large hand holding the axe was trembling very slightly.
saw them too
Seeing the perfect destruction of the trap, they realized that they were an enemy they could not handle with their own strength.
Even so.
He showed his face and raised his voice.
If they did not do so, they thought that their lives could not be guaranteed.
‘It’s a different race that exists in the endless mountains. How do I deal with them?’
this problem.
The division of race was not an important issue.
Roman Dmitri was worried about the fact that they existed in the endless mountains, apart from the fact that they were dwarves.
As they say, ownership of the endless mountain range may be a unilateral claim of humans.
But the words they uttered didn’t matter at all if they had something to do with putting Dmitri in danger.
removing the risk factor.
It was the commander’s job.
Roman Dmitry was willing to be brutal if necessary.
“As you said, this might be your land, not Dmitri’s. But what I need is reassurance that your presence is not a threat to Dmitri. An endless mountain range meets Dmitri and the land. It means that just as we set foot on your land, you also exist at a distance close enough to set foot on our land at any time. So give me confidence The reason why I don’t have to be hostile to you is the conviction that coexistence with you is safe. If not, we have no choice but to make a decision.”
It was a complex matter.
Unlike Cronus, who wanted to conquer the continent, Dmitri and the dwarves depended on each other’s survival.
if you just skip it.
Can we ignore each other’s existence like before?
It was impossible.
The existence of the dwarves will be known through the miners of the iron mine, and in any way, each other’s existence will inevitably touch the nerves.
From then on, the dispute sprouts.
Roman Dmitri reigned as the heavenly demon and saw countless times how small disputes grew, so he wanted to clear up his relationship with the dwarves in the first place.
As if part of the endless mountain range was their land.
Another part was also certain of Dmitry’s land.
Dmitri’s history proved him, and this time the issue had nothing to do with racial divisions.
“Confidence. How can we give you confidence!”
The Dwarf was taken aback.
He didn’t want war, but the answer Roman Dmitry wanted didn’t come to mind.
It was then.
The Dwarf, who rolled his eyes with a puzzled face, suddenly saw Roman Dmitri’s sword.
Moment.
The eyes were dimly colored.
Even knowing that he shouldn’t be like this in an imminent situation, he was completely immersed in the appearance of the sword.
“… Could you take a look at that sword?”
that.
It was a really absurd question that didn’t fit the situation.
