Standing on the stage, the Dwarven King looked over everyone before his eyes fell onto me.


    With the way that he was looking at me, I couldn''t help feeling a bad feeling…almost as if he was nning on doing something that would entrap me…


    But I didn''t know why I felt this way.


    The Dwarven King looked at me for a bit before turning in a certain direction and waving his hand at someone.


    There was a dwarf that started walking up onto the stage when he did this.


    This dwarf was one that almost everyone recognized because…she had a very unique figure.


    It was Elsa who walked up to the stage and stood beside the Dwarven King.


    Only when she came up on stage with him did the Dwarven King finally start speaking.


    "We have gathered here today to say farewell to our human friends. During this time that they''ve been here, they''ve shown us that humans have many things that we can learn from and we shouldn''t becent because we''re better at certain things."


    The dwarves that had gathered were all those that had learned from me during this time, so they all nodded in agreement.


    Though I couldn''t help revealing a bitter smile since…this most likely wasn''t true.


    After all, the things that I taught them all came from my memories of the game.


    There wasn''t a single other human that actually knew any of this.


    In fact, most of the things that I knew were actually learned from dwarves in the game.


    So it could even be said that I was just returning knowledge to the ones that it would have belonged to.


    After he said this, the Dwarven King said in a more serious voice, "Since we have much to learn from each other, I know that we can''t keep to ourselves forever. We isted ourselves in the past because we thought that we couldn''t trust the other races and that there was nothing to learn from them. But it is different now."


    With that, he turned to Elsa and said, "As such, I have decided that we will be sending an ambassador to the human country to further deepen our rtionship with them."


    As soon as he said this, the entire banquet hall fell to silence as everyone looked at the Dwarven King with shocked looks.


    This was their first time hearing about this after all. Even the ministers who helped the Dwarven King run the Dwarven Kingdom were hearing about this for the first time.


    So there was no doubt that they were shocked.


    But I was even more shocked when I heard this.


    I had thought about what the Dwarven King could have said, but I never expected this.


    While everyone was stunned, Elsa came forward and said, "Thank you for this duty and I will do my best for our Dwarven Kingdom."


    When her voice fell, everyone snapped out of their daze.


    The ones that reacted first were…the top cksmiths.


    One of them asked, "Where will this group of ambassadors be sent?"


    As soon as he asked this, everyone turned to look at the Dwarven King.


    That was the most important thing for them right now.


    The Dwarven King had already been expecting this, so he said with a smile, "Since we have our human friends here, I think it would be best if we had our ambassador follow them back to their country and let them guide them around."


    My brows immediately knitted when I heard this, but I didn''t say a thing since this wasn''t the time.


    The eyes of these dwarven cksmiths lit up immediately after hearing this.


    Then they all raised their hands and said, "We want to volunteer!"


    They finally understood what this ambassador post was all about.


    It was just an excuse to send people to follow Zwein back!


    There were still plenty of other things that they wanted to learn, so this chance to follow him back was just what they wanted.


    But all I could do was reveal a bitter smile.


    This was why he had wanted to hold this banquet…he wanted to trap me…


    By announcing this in front of everyone like this, there was no way for me to reject this.


    The moment that I did, this would turn into an international issue, something that I definitely couldn''t take responsibility for. The moment that it became serious, it was the moment that I might lose my head.


    So no matter what he said now, I had to ept this.


    While I wasmenting my fate, the Dwarven King said, "This matter will be left to our lead ambassador, Elsa. I have entrusted her with everything rted to this matter, so you may ask her if you want to go."


    When they heard this, all of them turned to look at Elsa with glowing eyes.


    It was as if they were trying to pressure her to take them along for this trip.


    The Dwarven King didn''t care about any of this as he started to walk off the stage, leaving Elsa to handle this matter.


    Elsa surprisingly handled this matter quite well as she skillfully talked to everyone that came forward.


    It was as if she became apletely different person from before.


    Could it be that she was only acting that way because she was being abused and lost all confidence?


    Could it be that she was only acting that way because of Drogath?


    If that was the case, it really was good to see her recovering like this.


    I had worried that she might be emotionally scarred because of this matter, but it seemed that she was adapting quite well.


    The Dwarven King walked over to me and said, "Well, how do you like my surprise?"


    I looked at him with a bitter smile as I didn''t have any words for him.


    All I could think was, "You really got me well."


    But of course, I would never say that out loud.


    So with a sigh, I said, "I''m looking forward to deepening our friendship."


    The Dwarven King reached his hand out with a smile as he heard this.


    I had no choice but to shake it.
