I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 368

Chapter 368. Engraving (3)

King of the Dwarves.

Daren’s throne room was not too far from the entrance.

Even though it was the kingdom of the dwarves in the first place, it was unavoidable because it possessed only a small part of Svartal Fame.

Jaehyun did not kneel or lower his head while looking at Daren.

He decided that he had come to help them as an opponent anyway, so there was no reason to take a low profile.

Actually, that judgment was right.

“I am Darren, King of the Dwarves. I heard that you are the adversary recognized by the anti-Aesir faction.”

He didn’t feel disrespectful at Jae-hyun’s attitude at all and took his luck like that.

I doubted that maybe the black-haired sole had said that all human manners are like that.

‘Come to think of it, should I run to the king as well?’

Jaehyun nodded his head moderately, thinking about such a foolish thought.

“okay. I am the enemy. Well, that’s what they call it on their own.”

“So what you want from me is engraving?”

“okay. As you dwarves already know, Odin is on the move. I need your strength...”

“I can’t allow that.”

Jaehyun’s eyebrows rose subtly.

Maybe this dwarf needs to be beaten to come to his senses.

I can feel that thought slowly rising from the end of the danjeon.

“Why?”

“Because there is no certainty that we will win this war.”

At Daren’s words, Jaehyun’s breath suddenly became tight. It was the same with Hella.

“Darren. Do you know what you are talking about?”

“Of course. Hell’s alter ego. Long time no see.”

“I don’t think it’s time to say hello.”

Hella’s answer was cold.

of course. You can’t accept an offer like that without a hitch.

I doubted whether I knew what the situation was like or not.

“Tell me why you can’t engrave me.”

Jaehyun had no choice but to say that while opening his magic. I had the idea of at least a moderate armed demonstration if necessary.

I used that method when I persuaded Lars in the elves’ kingdom in the past.

Sometimes when it comes to persuading others, nothing is more certain than force.

“No matter how it comes out, I can listen to your proposal...”

“Reason.”

Jaehyun rolled on the ground with a bang. The ground vibrated and a roar poured out.

Darren sighed at Jaehyun’s high-handed attitude and said,

“......I’ll be honest. I’m afraid of Odin. And... also because I can’t trust you.”

Hella’s expression hardened for a moment.

Darren was on.

“Even 10,000 years ago, you said that. You will definitely win the war, so ask for the power of crafting equipment and engraving. If you do that, you will surely destroy Asgard. But how did it turn out?”

“So you’re going to sit down before you even try?”

To put it in perspective, the story was similar to what Smir had said at the beginning.

At that time, he witnessed the death of his father, Hrungnir, right in front of his eyes. The shock knocked me down and I didn’t want to get up again.

However, Jaehyun showed his potential there.

At that time, it was only a speck of hope, but now Smir completely believed in reappearance. I felt like I had to go through that process again.

If you prove yourself, the dwarf in front will also think about reappearing again.

Jaehyun said with a calm voice.

“I was also recognized by that stubborn giant, Smir. Why don’t you try believing at least once? I don’t think it’s a business to lose money.”

“It’s something even Loki couldn’t do. What more could a weak human being do?”

Daren was wise. Unlike Blackfoot, he wasn’t stupid.

The proof was that the name was normal.

However, Jaehyun was calm.

“You take back the land, and we borrow your strength... Well, it sounds like a good contract with each other. What do you guys think?”

“...I will be your strength whenever you go.”

Seo Ina was the first to answer. Other co-workers nodded as well.

Kim Yu-jung crossed her arms and said.

“Because I can’t help it. Well... it would be better for us to go together than you go alone.”

“okay. Then I will do that. You won’t change Darren’s words, will you?”

At Jaehyun’s words, Daren nodded.

“As the king of the dwarves, and in the name of our ancestors, I will accept this bet. And if you succeed, I swear to be loyal to you until the end of the war.”

“I don’t need loyalty.”

He shrugged his shoulders and said so, then quickly kicked off the seat. There was no hesitation in his movement when he turned around.

I figured it would be like this anyway.

It was because they thought that the dwarves would not accept their request without any conditions.

It would be nice if I could eat even a little bit raw, but I can’t help it.

However, even though it was annoying for Jaehyun, he wasn’t worried at all.

Dark elves in the past had dealt with them and had titles that could be used. In addition, his colleagues also gained divinity and their level was quite high.

At that time, the enemies of about 9 kings would not have been difficult to deal with individually, except for Lee Jae-sang.

“...Wait a minute.”

The moment Jaehyun turned around like that. Daren summoned Jaehyun for a moment.

* * *

Looking at the adversary in front of his eyes, Darren recalled a past hidden deep within his heart. It was a story about his family and ancestors a long time ago.

The former king of the dwarves.

There was a man called Kurin.

Naturally, he was courageous and extremely averse to betraying his faith. So he joined Van Æsir and died.

He lost his life along with his compatriots while fighting to defend his beliefs.

Daren has been growing up hearing stories about this since childhood.

Never stand on the side of the weak who are not strong. It will only kill your own people.

If you want to be king, think of nothing other than the safety of your people.

Daren was cowardly, but he thought he was right.

It was because the previous generation was overpowered by the enemy so easily that it was embarrassing and died.

Because their land was taken away by the Dark Elves.

But... why?

The adversary in front of him was the one he wanted to believe.

He believes in himself and moves forward without hesitation.

In fact, they are the weakest race, humans.

Darren thought.

No matter how extraordinary talent he had, it would have taken his own hard work and a hellish forging process to become as strong as he is now.

He would have endured the pain by continuously knocking on himself, like pouring molten iron and knocking on a shaped piece of equipment.

Thanks to that, it must have been able to become a well-forged sword like it is now.

After thinking for a while, Daren made a decision. to try him out.

I decided to make sure that I was the one who could really keep my word.

“...Since you received my request, I will give you an advance payment.”

“Advance payment?”

“okay. Take out your most used weapon and show it to me. I will show you my engraving technique.”

Jaehyun’s eyes widened. It was because he did not know that he would be able to obtain the imprint of a weapon in this way.

he already knew That Daren just wanted to test himself.

However, there was no reason to avoid it. In any case, it was good for Jaehyun.

He pondered for a while, then took out an artifact and put it down in front of Daren.

This was an artifact completely different from what my colleagues expected.

They groaned in bewilderment.

“...why do you have to do that out of many things...?”

At the words of his colleagues, Jaehyun gave a light smile.
