Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

A voice awakened Nathan.

Nathan asked, looking at the knight seated on the side of the steam wagon.

“Sir Dolph.”

“Yes.”

“Do you believe the rumors?”

“What kind of rumor are you talking about?”

“There are dwarves in Grand Duchy of Redford.”

Nathan was aware of the events that led him to leave for the remote mountains.

Strange daggers and notes scattered throughout the Empire.

That was the beginning of everything.

“I do not know. I do not know.”

Knight Dolph shook his head slightly.

And he answered with an expressionless face.

“But it is the Duke’s job to us to investigate the rumors.”

“Yeah. You would.”

Nathan didn’t like the knights who knew nothing but this mission.

He was his father’s man.

Externally, it was a knight sent to accompany him, but Nathan knew it too.

The person performing the mission is Dolph right in front of him, and he realizes that he is nothing more than a follower of him.

‘Since your mother is doing another useless job.’

All this must have been done by his mother, Lisa El.

Lisa El is trying to somehow increase her own influence, but as Nathan, she’s just a bummer.

As Nathan fell in thought, the inside of his steam wagon fell into silence again.

how long has it been

rattle-

The wagon came to a halt and shook violently.

“You have arrived.”

Dolph spoke briefly and opened the door and stepped out.

Nathan frowned at the sight he didn’t care about and followed Dolph down.

A look of surprise spread across Nathan’s face at the sight that followed.

“What is that···?”

The gate to the Grand Duchy.

From there, a long line of people lined up.

What surprised Nathan was the appearance of the Grand Duchess.

The long fortress walls along the estate were clean as if they had been built recently, and were sturdy at first glance.

And what caught the eye more than anything else was the towering tower visible over the high wall.

A tower that does not seem to have been built by humans at all.

Nathan couldn’t take his eyes off the tower for a while.

It was the same with Dolph.

‘What is that…?’

Although he didn’t tell Nathan, Dolph had been to Redford before.

No, he was correct that he was born and raised in the Grand Duchy.

However, when his parents, who could not stand his poverty, moved, he too left the Grand Duchy and settled in the system.

That was about 15 years ago.

‘What happened?’

The castle walls of the Grand Duchess that he remembers were not that clean, and there was no such tower that caught the eye.

‘There is something.’

Dolph, who had hardened his complexion, hurriedly stood in line to enter the Grand Duchy.

Following him, Nathan grumbled.

“What are you lining up for? Just say you’re from Brunhild and you’re good to go.”

“Confucius, look ahead.”

“front?”

“Can’t you see?”

“···········?”

Nathan tilted his head.

“We are not the only ones who have received daggers from the Prince of Redford. They all sent daggers to some pretty reputable families.”

With that said, Nathan looked at those who lined up first.

‘That’s… the design of the Marquis Dubian!’

As much as I studied other noble families, I was able to find out the identities of those who lined up without difficulty.

Those who wore luxurious clothes and the attendants who were attached to them one by one.

They proudly displayed the mark of their family.

When I looked closely, I found that there were many people who said they were using the system not only in the provinces, but also in the provinces.

There.

‘···The 3rd Duke?!’

Among those who lined up, there were also those sent from the 3rd Duke family.

The fact that even those high-spirited people were quietly doing that was like the sound of being unable to pass through the gates without standing in line.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Because of this, Nathan had no choice but to calm his complaints.

About 30 minutes passed like that.

“Please reveal your identity.”

In front of the knight in charge of the gate, Dolph pulled out his seal from his bosom and said:

“I come from the Duke of Brunhild.”

“Brunhild?”

“That’s right.”

The gatekeeper checked the seal without much surprise and returned it immediately.

“It has been confirmed. Come in.”

At that moment, Dolph, who was staring at the knight, asked carefully.

“Aren’t you… Gilbert?”

“Huh? Who do you know me?”

Gilbert’s expression changed for the first time at Dolph’s sudden question.

Seeing this, Dolph said.

“That’s Dolph.”

“Dolph?”

After thinking for a while, Gilbert remembered the name Dolph and exclaimed.

“Dolph? That little Dolph who had his front teeth out who lived next door to our house?”

“haha. Yes.”

Dolph smiled brightly at Gilbert, who recognized him.

“Huh… that little boy has become a knight of the Duke of Brunhild.”

“It’s been 15 years.”

“Anyway, seeing you sent, it seems that the Dukes of Brunhild are also curious about the news here.”

“That’s right. So… please listen a little. What the hell has happened in 15 years?”

“Heh heh. 15 years?”

“···········?”

“What is 15 years? Four months.”

“Yes···?”

“If you are curious, go in. How the Redford you knew has changed.”

“···········?”

Gilbert patted Dolph on the shoulder and shouted.

“next!”

With that, Gilbert turned away from Dolph and continued his work.

The procession behind him forced Dolph to leave his seat with only doubts.

As Nathan walked down the passageway leading to the estate, Nathan shuddered.

“Did you come from here?”

“That’s right.”

Dolph, who had been dealing with Gilbert a while ago, was acting, so his skin disappeared and he returned to being blunt.

After that, their conversation disappeared and an awkward atmosphere passed.

It didn’t take long for the atmosphere between the two of them to change.

“Hey, is this…?”

The scenery of Grand Duchess Redford, who had passed through the wall, was completely different from what it had been 15 years ago.

The road on the estate was as flat as if it had been carved out of stone, and all the shabby buildings in Dolph’s memory had been replaced with new ones.

The building styles were the first things Dolph had ever seen.

Surprisingly, Nathan was the same.

“Is this… that Redford?”

Isn’t Redford the pronoun of the declining estates?

But he said now that what he saw was a cleaner city than the institution.

A woman approached them with a warm smile.

“Welcome to the Redford estate! My name is Adris, the manor tour guide.”

Nathan, who had been wary of the appearance of a strange woman, asked in surprise.

“Are you a tour assistant?”

“Yes. For just 5 gold, it’s a job that introduces you to every corner of Redford’s estate for an hour.”

“okay?”

Nathan heard this and immediately took out 5 gold from his pocket.

Adris, who received this, said with a friendly smile.

“Ah, for an additional 10 gold, you can tour by steam wagon instead of on foot.”

“.. say that quickly.”

It felt like something was being explained, but Nathan did not refuse and spent 10 more gold.

Having received 10 gold for her bright face, she led the two into a steam wagon perched near the wall.

There were dozens of steam wagons with signs that read [Touring].

“Come on, ride.”

After skillfully starting the engine, Adris saw the two of them on board and drove her steam wagon.

In the rapidly changing landscape, Dolph was surprised once again.

‘Everything has changed!’

I wondered if all the buildings in the estate had changed, but that hope has become a reality.

Dolph, unable to contain her curiosity, asked Chimi a question.

“I came to the Redford estate after 15 years, but… what the hell happened to the estate?”

“Ah! You are from here! fufu. A lot has happened. However, the thing that customers are most curious about… is the reason why Youngji has changed like this, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Because they changed it.”

“They?”

“Dwarves.”

“········································································?!”

Nathan asked in surprise at the receptionist’s answer.

“Dwarves really exist?”

“of course. If not for the legendary dwarves, who could change their territory like this in just 4 months? Originally, our estate was extremely underdeveloped.”

“Four, four months?!”

“He said he didn’t like the facilities of our manor, so he touched it little by little, and then he changed the manor like this. Whoops.”

The surprises continued.

After that, the guide took the two of them around and introduced them to many things about Youngji.

From inns where tourists can stay, to restaurants, and various shops.

Although they introduced all the tourist elements in their own way, they did not satisfy Nathan.

Nathan couldn’t stand it anymore, shouted.

“No, so where the hell are the dwarves!”

“Fufu. We will see you soon.”

The guide who left a strange smile arrived next.

When Dolph and Nathan arrived there, their mouths were wide open.

“Huh… Wasn’t it a tower?”

“Mi, crazy…!”

A structure that was thought to be a tower from afar.

But it wasn’t.

It was another building that stood tall like a tower.

“Come on, the pride of our estate! This is the Dwarf Tower!”

“Dwarf Tower? So, are there any dwarves here?”

“Yeah! of course! If you go inside, you can buy not only the Dwarves, but also the things they made.”

At that explanation, Nathan hurriedly jumped out of the steam wagon.

“uh? There is still time left for sightseeing…”

“No need!”

Nathan and Dolph, who resisted the guide holding them, ran to the tower one month later and opened the door.

Soon a marvelous sight unfolded before them.

The floors are glossy enough that you can see through them, and shops lined up all over the building.
