Chapter 742 Mark of Earth
Five minutes later, we were sitting in one of the restaurants in the square.
The Dwarven King had wanted to go back to the castle, but Elsa didn't seem to want to waste any time at all, so she demanded to speak there in the square. But in the end, that just couldn't be done since it was too open and there was no knowing who was listening.
In the end, I had to step in.
I knew that the Dwarven King was just doing what he had to do and I couldn't just remain passive, so I forced them to listen to him.
Well, I couldn't force them to listen to him since they clearly wanted to rush to the Earthen Temple, so I could only force them to compromise.
That was how we ended up in this restaurant.
The first thing that the Dwarven King did after sitting down was order a drink for himself.
He didn't care about anything else and just ordered a drink.
As soon as the mug came, he didn't hesitate to down the entire drink like it was water.
Though I had already seen dwarves do this kind of thing quite often during my stay in the Dwarven Kingdom.
I knew that a drink like this might as well have been water for the Dwarven King.
After that drink, he gave a sigh and said, "Alright, now that I've settled down, tell me why you're doing all of this."VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Elsa had an impatient look on her face the entire time and the only reason why she didn't blow was because I had told her to compromise. But now that the Dwarven King had asked this question, she wasn't planning on holding back.
The Dwarven King revealed a bitter smile before saying, "You have the Mark of Earth and you want to call yourself an outsider? If anyone belongs in the Earthen Temple, then it's you."
But after a momentary pause, he added, "But it'll be just you alone." He turned to look at Cecilia and the others, "We can't let other humans in the Earthen Temple. I hope that you can understand that."
I didn't mind, but it was clear that Cecilia had something else to say.
So I just gave her a look that seemed to say, "This is the easiest way to get what you want."
When she saw this, Cecilia hesitated a bit before backing down.
The reason that she and Elsa had done all of this was just to get me to meet the God of Earth as soon as possible.
So in the end, she could make a bit of a compromise.
Seeing that they agreed, the Dwarven King said, "Alright, let's go to the Earthen Temple."
I gave a nod in response in a calm manner, but deep down, I was certainly surprised.
I was surprised since I never thought that things would progress this smoothly just because of the Mark of God, or rather the Mark of Earth as the dwarves called it.
As I thought about it, I realized that the dwarves must have more information about this Mark of God that I didn't know about.
After all, the Dwarven King had said that it appeared on a human in this generation.
There was quite a bit of information from these words...
