Chapter 741 Enough of that!
?After passing through the border, I thought that we would get a chance to rest up since it was already getting quite late.
But in the end…
Those hopes were completely dashed as we were picked up again by the wyverns and carried off towards the capital.
It was a good thing that it was late and the skies were dark, which allowed us to hide the wyverns. If it wasn't for that, I was certain that we would have caused quite a large commotion flying across the Dwarven Kingdom with the wyverns like this.
There was no doubt that an international incident would have been raised.
It would be strange if the dwarves didn't think that we were invading them because of this.
But with the speed of the wyverns, we were able to make it past all the different towns and villages that were along the way without being spotted.
The only problem was that when we arrived in the capital, the sun was already rising.
That meant that the moment that we approached the city, there were alarms that were raised in response to our arrival.
I could see in the distance that the dwarves were arming themselves and were lining the walls of the city. They were all heavily armoured and it looked like they were prepared to fight to the death against these wyverns that were approaching their city.
I knew that this was very bad for us, so I said to Cecilia, "Slow down! Stop heading towards the city! Land outside and send someone to the capital to inform them of our arrival!"
But I found that…Cecilia wasn't listening to me at all.
Sitting beside Cecilia was Elsa who had come along with us and it seemed like the two of them were discussing something.
When we were just outside of the range of the arrows that could come from the city, Elsa suddenly took a crystal out of her pocket and spoke into it. The moment that she spoke into it, her voice was enhanced and broadcasted to the city.
I was surprised to see this since I never knew that there was such a magic item before.
This definitely would have been something that I could have used before…
"It's us! Drop your weapons now and let us in! Big brother, if you don't, I'll tell everyone what happened when we were five!"
As soon as they heard this, all of the dwarven guards on the walls revealed confused looks. There were some that still held their bows and pointed them at us, but it seemed like most of them had stopped looking at us with hostility.
It didn't take long before a familiar dwarf appeared on the walls.
He seemed to have the same crystal that Elsa had and he brought it up to say, "Everyone, stop! They aren't enemies!"
Then when all of the dwarven guards on the walls lowered their weapons, this dwarf said, "Land in the square in the center of the town, that's the only place that's big enough!"
After that, the dwarf didn't forget to add, "If you dare say a single word about that, I'll make sure that you pay! I don't care if you're my sister, I'll go all out against you!"
The one that was on the walls with the crystal was naturally the Dwarven King, the big brother of Elsa.
He had been leisurely heading to the walls when he suddenly heard what Elsa had said.
The moment that he heard it, he immediately ran to the walls.
That was because he recognized the tone that she had said this in, he knew that she would have seriously done it if he didn't give this order. That was the last thing that he could allow to happen if he wanted to maintain his prestige as the Dwarven King.
I could see that the Dwarven King was panicking, so I poked my head out the carriage and asked Elsa, "What happened? What did he do?"
Elsa looked down at me and said, "He peed his pants in the middle of the night. Mom even spanked him and hung his sheets out in front of all the neighbours for it."
A bitter smile appeared on my face when I heard this.
It was no wonder the Dwarven King had done all of this to avoid having this story being spread.
There was no doubt that he would have lost all his prestige as the Dwarven King if Elsa had made this story public.
The wyverns quickly flew over the city walls and then landed in the city square that had been emptied for them.
Waiting at the edge of the city square was the Dwarven King and a bunch of dwarves.
There were quite a few armoured dwarves that were there, but it seemed that they were there just to be safe. They didn't seem like they wanted to attack us at all as they just stood there on the side as the Dwarven King came forward.
As soon as the Dwarven King came forward, he said, "What do you think you're doing? Do you know how much of a commotion you've caused with this stunt?"
Though he was saying this to Elsa, it seemed like he was looking at me.
It was almost as if he was saying with his eyes, "How could you let her do all of this?"
A bitter smile crept onto my lips when I saw this before I looked back at him like I was saying, "I can't stop them, they're crazy."
The Dwarven King was surprised to see this look, but he was even more surprised by what Elsa said next.
"Enough of that! Move out of the way and clear a path to the Earthen Temple! We need to go there right away!"
The Dwarven King was completely taken aback when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said, "No, this can't be allowed. We can't just let outsiders…"
"When he was five, my brother…"
The Dwarven King immediately ran forward to stop Elsa before saying through gritted teeth, "Alright, let's discuss this…"
An exasperated look appeared on his face as soon as his voice fell.
