Chapter 50  : Death ListListening to the unexpected and unpleasant word, Lee Chae-rin’s face stiffened .

“A death list…”

Like the word suggested, a death list was a list to write the names of the ones who would perish . It meant that they would see their blood,

“Right now, we need to get rid of the internal enemies, before the external ones . Why? Are you hesitant?” Kang Chul-in asked .

“Yes . ”

“I haven’t killed someone yet, I am afraid…”

“Well, at least you’re honest . ”

“Is there really use in acting tough with you? I’m sure you’ll find out sooner or later anyway . ”

Kang Chul-in didn’t say anything after hearing her honest response . At least it was better than forcefully lying .

‘Well, that’s not my problem . ’ was what he thought .

But he decided to let her face the reality .

“You decided to live as a Lord . And that’s why you called me . ”

“You’re right . ”

“Then you need to kill . ”

“Is that… the only way?”

“Authority and power comes from blood . ”

“The blood of the enemies…”

This was something you couldn’t argue against .

“If you didn’t lose your control and authority here in the first place, this never would have happened .

“You mean it’s already late?”“Yes, it’s too late . ”

Kang Chul-in knew this was the only way .

“Humans and dwarves, dwarves and humans . These two races are like water and oil . They can’t live together . If there was a powerful human Lord that had the respect of the dwarves and acted as an intermediate between them the story could be changed, but as of now… Not only that, your total population is 60% dwarf . Almost the whole territory is in control of those disrespectful bastards .

“…You’re right . ”magic

“I left where I was supposed to stay during noon, to see how things were here . Do you know what my thoughts were?”

Lee Chae-rin didn’t respond .

“The Lord is clearly human, yet it seemed like the humans were the slaves of the dwarves . ”

Out of the total population of 1000, the 600 dwarves were living in good houses, drinking good wine and enjoying themselves .

On the other hand, the 400 humans had to live in poverty stricken conditions, having almost nothing to eat and drink .

“Is it… that bad?”“Then start writing . ”

“The ones who die, and the ones who live . You decide . ”

“Yes” she nodded her head, and opened the parchment .

“The first… one…”

Her hands slowly wrote down the name of the person who would perish first .

“It’s you, Sledge . ”

It was none other than the secretary of Dorado, Sledge himself .

After the ‘Death List’ was written, Kang Chul-in immediately began to move .

Apparently, the biggest hurdle was going to be a special group of dwarves, lead by Secretary Sledge, called the ‘Iron Hammer group’ .

These were the ones that they definitely had to remove .

Other than them, written on the list was General Smith (another dwarf), along with Entwan the spy, and the Sage ‘Majestic’, who worshipped the ‘god of the blacksmiths’ .

‘Quickly, we’ll move quick . ’

Kang Chul-in wanted to get rid of these guys as soon as possible .

‘Tomorrow night, all at once . ’

If this got delayed, there was a chance that all 600 of the dwarves would get pulled into this .

First, they had to get rid of the ‘Iron Hammer group’ .

This elite group who should be guarding the Lord was instead ‘Sledgified’, meaning that they had all turned against their own Lord .

But after they got rid of this group, they needed another group to protect Chae-rin .

‘Well, this is her own responsibility . I’m not going to help out in this’ he thought .

The next night .

The high-ranking dwarves living in Dorado all got a message from Chae-rin, requesting an urgent meeting .

Although they really didn’t care in the beginning, the contents of the message made them come to the meeting . This is what it said . I’m planning on helping to take back Nidavellir with you guys, so make sure that everyone is present in this meeting . If anyone is missing, everything that I said will be cancelled . Nidavellir was a holy, sacred place for the dwarves, as well as where their workplaces were .

Comparing it to Earth’s standards, it was similar to Mecca, or Jerusalem, if the cultural significance was multiplied by 10 .

So when the dwarves received the message, everyone had to come .

“Welcome . ”

Lee Chae-rin greeted her vassals .

“I’ve been waiting . ”

At this moment, they felt that she had changed .

The her right now was very different to the past her .

Her depressed face wasn’t here anymore, just calm eyes surveying everyone around her . She had changed overnight .

“There’s only one reason that I called all of you guys here” she spoke .

“Those who wish to live, those who serve me . Kneel right now . If you do, I will forgive you . However!”

Her originally calm eyes suddenly showed killing intent .

“Those who do not… I will execute as a punishment for not obeying their Lord . Now, you can decide . ”
