After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"Is it still not quiet outside?"

"Caw! The wind is so strong!"

"Your Majesty?! Is it really okay to have two outsiders stay here?"

"Yes… He's a master!"

"Your Majesty! Did you see it? This man, he's definitely a master!"

"Such terrifying strength, he closed the door with just one hand!!!"

"…"

The Dwarf called "Your Majesty" sighed at the commotion of the dwarves. He silently put on the fake beard by his side, making him look much more serious.

"Hello, I am Andriwa Apennine Ymir King."

The king of the dwarves said this, with a youthful voice that a young boy should have. Cloaked and with a decent sense of fashion, at least compared to the other dwarves wearing tight vests.

However, the dwarf ladies had decent figures… If you ignored their beards, they could be considered cute.

But the king of the dwarves seemed more serious and calm compared to other kings of the same era… Exactly how Yila defined a "king should be — a medieval monarch."

"I am Yila Elkaras, from the Demon King Territory…"

Yila introduced himself, and it was clear that the other party didn't recognize him… Before becoming famous for previous events, Yila was only considered a "rather strong legend."

Although he wasn't unknown, he wasn't well-known enough for everyone to recognize him.

Now, the Dwarf King had a puzzled expression. His understanding of external intelligence remained at the ceasefire between the monster-ruled region and the empire, so he was quite baffled as to why a human would come from the Demon King Territory.

With the other party's confusion and the loud whispers of the other dwarves, Yila pointed to Ernie beside him and introduced, "And she is Ernie, from the Elemental Plane, an exception."

"…"

"…"

These words were not something explainable by ordinary "confusion"… The Dwarf King's initial reaction was naturally disbelief, but his furrowed brows turned into shock when Ernie slightly displayed a bit of her exceptional power.

"Exceptional?"

Andriwa, roughly the same height as Satan Ye, widened his eyes, and his beard tilted to one side in shock — he wasn't exactly capable of sensing the extent of exceptional power… After all, he had never truly seen such power.

But, he only needed to know… This fire element named Ernie truly possessed power beyond ordinary recognition.

So these two who came to find him must be treated with great caution, but before that…

"A human without Mana power and an exception… What a strange combination."

The Dwarf King said this and quickly moved on from the topic… Ignoring the dwarves below shouting things like "Your Majesty! Leave these beings to us!"

"The blizzard outside is still raging. If you have any needs after braving such weather to come to the land of the dwarves, just speak your mind… But given the current situation, you should be aware."

Andriwa straightened his beard, making it clear that the dwarves were now forced to take shelter underground, and even if they needed help forging divine weapons, they had to bring their own materials.

In the dwarves' understanding, if someone traveled a great distance to come here, it must be for something very important…

Having read many novels, Andriwa's imagination ran wild because Yila, who lacked Mana waves, and the exceptional Ernie, were a bizarre combination. Coupled with the calamity coming from the Extreme North… He thought of the existence of a "Savior Weapon."

*He even mused to himself — If they really asked me to forge a "Sword of Salvation," could we, with our current skills, really do it?*

"We head north to investigate the 'Calamity of Extreme Cold.' Our destination is the Extreme North… In fact, our messenger has already come to the Dwarf Kingdom once but couldn't find you in the storm."

Yila said, and looking into Andriwa's eyes, he continued, "The letter I prepared for you contained a warning… Have you experienced the calamity of the rampaging Magic Beasts?"

Before Andriwa could reply, a dwarf immediately started crying out angrily, "Damn it! My rock sheep! My rock sheep, waaaaa!!! Hahaha… waaa!!!"

At his lament, another dwarf immediately laughed, mocking the crying dwarf, "What are you making such a fuss about now? Hahaha!!!"

"You damn mutt!!"

"What?! How dare you?!"

"…"

Yila watched the two dwarves start fighting and silently redirected his gaze to Andriwa… This at least confirmed they had experienced some degree of the "Calamity."

But, as the Three Towers statistics indicated, the losses were very minor.

"Don't mind them, they're always like this."

The Dwarf King Andriwa said, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes… This world was really interesting; it seemed like a normal king would be paired with an abnormal race, one of the two always had to be abnormal.

"You truly have a hard time."

Yila comforted him, then continued with the main topic, "The Main Material Plane is currently experiencing the second calamity. The calamity, once sealed by the gods and now reemerging, comes from the Extreme North."

Andriwa had some suspicions about this… He had felt a sense of an epic mission since earlier.

Andriwa jumped down from the throne… because his legs were too short.

The Dwarf King stood before Yila, looking very serious, and said, "So, are you the destined hero? What do you need me to do? Forge armor capable of withstanding the cold?"

As he said this, Andriwa looked up slightly at Yila, then turned to Ernie, "Getting springs from the angels, armor from the dwarves, asking the elves for magic, seeking strength from monsters… along the way, making allies from the Nine Realms, eventually saving the world?"

"…"

Yila blinked, confused by Andriwa's sudden remarks. Shaking his head, Yila replied, "No, I just want you to be aware that the next calamity might come from the sea… Are these things you mentioned part of a prophecy you know?"

If the gods had left a prophecy…

As Yila thought this, quickly analyzing the new information he received, soon…

Andriwa said, "No, I read that plot in a novel."

"…"

Yila: "I give up."
