172 Lesson 171

"Who are you people!

The leader-like man of the dwarf surrounding the Ethereal Tails steps forward and questions the Ethereal Tails.

"We..."

"Don't open your mouth on your own!!

When Aotearoa tried to talk, another man from earlier made him interrupt it. Ethereum shrugged her shoulders and sent her gaze to a leaderlike man in a situation where she was questioned but could not answer.

"... okay, talk. Allow it."

The man who decides that the conversation cannot proceed as it is gives Ethereum permission to speak.

"Oh man, it's a big deal. We're traveling adventurers."

"Lie to me! This place is stretched, so easy to get in!!

This is another man absurd his voice. He was big for a dwarf, and the word short temper seemed like a good fit for a man to see his face.

"Doc! Just shut up for a second. These people will have a say, too. Let's hear it till the end."

Due to the excitement of a man called Doc, the leaderlike man became sober and addicted.

"Sorry, keep going"

Aotea nods and continues.

"We're adventurers on the journey, but we've got a purpose here. As the one who yelled earlier said, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to come inside the conjuncture. I realized it was because of Atra."

When Aotearoa came up with the name Atra, the dwarves blurted.

"I am called Atra, who made a pact with a chief several generations ago. Now that I have a covenant with Lord Sota here, I guided him to the settlement here at the Lord's will. In my covenant with the chief I was under contract, it was supposed to be a story that you wouldn't mind leaving the settlement free to go in and out '

Speaking of Atra, it was customary for parents to hear it as a fairy tale from numerous enemies targeting dwarf settlements when they were little as guardian beasts who presented themselves and stunningly guarded them. Therefore, anyone who is a dwarf knows about Atra.

"But there will be no proof that you are the Atra of the legendary Guardian Beast. Besides, they say Atora has a giant body, but you must be a normal wolf."

At the stage of the wolf demons talking, it was an element to believe, but nevertheless the leader like man couldn't go wrong with judgment, he asked Atra.

'Hmm, let's prove it from the looks of it first... how about this?

Atra makes one proof by returning to her original Emperor Wolf appearance.

"This... no way, no way"

The agitation of a leader-like man spreads to his surroundings.

'And was it proof that I was an Atra?

Atra offered something like an amulet to a man who looked like a leader.

…………

When he received it, he was stunned. It was a amulet that only generations of dwarf elders were allowed to have, bearing the name of the sender and the person they sent. That word.

"Send this as a sign of trust. Gregor Marvin to Atlamarvin... if I could show you something like this I wouldn't seem to believe anything else. They are not enemies! The legendary guardian beast, Atra, and his friends, passed down to us dwarves! As the head of this settlement on behalf of the elders of history, I welcome them!!

Following the voice of the chief, the dwarves gathered around Atra, raising their voices.

"... Whatever, now you're going to listen to me."

"Right......"

Ethereal Tai and Deena were left behind by the first strong hostility and by the not so much difference in what is now a grand welcome.

"Come here, both of you."

When Atra is led to the chief's house first, a dwarf man leads them both to the chief's house so that they follow Atra.

"I'm sorry I pointed my weapon at you earlier, like Lord Sorta. I'm sorry about your daughter."

When the two enter the house, the chief bows his head and apologizes.

'Sorry, dwarves have long been targeted by external enemies, so I forgot to be twice as vigilant about intruders'

Atra, who was coming first, is back to her normal wolf size again, and comes head down following the length.

"Never mind both of you. I don't mind because there was no other damage, and the misunderstanding was solved immediately. More than that, we had something to ask, and we came to visit."

The chief snorts at Aotearoa's words.

"Yeah, I'm with Lord Atra, and I'd like to answer anything because this one has an apology for working with disrespect. But..."

"But? You got something for me?

The chief looks a little troubled.

"I don't know if they noticed, but only young people of age live in this village"

"If you ask me..."

"Right."

Aotearoa and Deena had remembered that between being surrounded again and coming here, the elderly did not have to go that far to see anything older.

"There used to be settlers here of various ages as well, but once they were attacked and scattered... And then, after a while, a group of people around me came together to rebuild this settlement, and that's where the endorsers of the same age came together."

The chief has taken the form of talking about himself, so he talks around in a little light.

"I see... Doesn't that mean you're the chief of the dwarf center"

The chief nodded deeply at Aotearoa's question.

"Yes, I am only the title of representative of this settlement. I think the elders are in another settlement."

'So do you mind if I tell you where it is?

The chief snorts at that question of Atra as well.

"Of course, the elders would be delighted to see Lord Atra. Please wait while we prepare the map now"

When the chief said so, he headed to the back room to prepare a map.

I didn't know it was gone.

"I hope the settlement where the elders are is close"

Aotearoa and Deena spoke with ease, but only the look on Atra's face was rude.
