Players' NPC boss

Crack——

That was the sound of the blade breaking.

The Heroic Warrior stared blankly at the axe in his hand. The axe that had killed countless enemies and stained countless blood was bitten by a woman. The white and beautiful teeth were like some kind of weapon, easily biting the axe blade, and relying on the strength of the masseter muscle alone, he could not pull out the axe with all his strength.

Marika slowly stood up. She was so used to hunching her back that she realized that the strong man in front of her was too small when she stood up.

"Ahhh——"

The Heroic Warrior let go of the axe and clenched his fist to hit Marika's head, but Marika caught it with one hand and condensed it. The burly warrior knelt down on the spot.

It was not pain, but overwhelming power that made the Heroic Warrior crawl at Marika's feet.

"How is it possible? I have crossed the limit of human beings and become a great Heroic Warrior! How can I be subdued so easily!"

"It's not a subdued." Marika picked up the axe with one hand and chopped it hard at the Heroic Warrior under her feet.

"I destroyed it."

The Einherjar was killed instantly by Marika, and his whole body turned into soul flames. These flames wanted to float somewhere, but Marika kicked them and turned them into countless flame fragments.

The fragments of soul flames were absorbed by Marika, but Marika was already level 99, so these experience points would be stored.

"You shouldn't do that. Completely destroying the Einherjar will make Valkyrie realize that you soul eaters are coming."

A voice came from behind Marika. Marika turned back and stabbed the source of the voice, making sure that the tip of the gun stayed at the center of the speaker's eyebrows.

"Wow~ I didn't expect to see the gun [This is the Fire of Ignition of the World] in this place."

Marika frowned and clenched the spear in her hand. The flames ignited and illuminated the appearance of the speaker. A big head, a weathered face, and a big beard were simply her childhood nightmare.

A nightmare of growing up to look like a dwarf.

It was a dwarf, but only a head. The body under the head is made up of rotating gears and burning furnaces.

"I am the dwarf Hawkins, one of the prisoners in this place."

Marika did not put down her weapon because of this sentence, but forced the dwarf Hawkins to retreat with the tip of her spear. Although the dwarves in the rumors are a group of rough and heartless people, rumors are always different from reality.

Just like the original rumor that the elves are pure and beautiful.

And all the dwarves have lost their heads, only this dwarf Hawkins has lost his body. If the headless dwarves who keep making Gungnir are prisoners, then what is the dwarf Hawkins.

"Do you really have dwarf blood? Shouldn't you believe me at this time?" Dwarf Hawkins showed a helpless expression. Dwarves have no scheming, speak directly, and hate lies.

So what dwarves say is almost never doubted, but now they are doubted by their compatriots with dwarf blood.

"I am only one-third dwarf, and the rest are Giens and humans." Marika put away her weapon, but still kept a distance from the dwarf Hawkins.

She had to stay alert before building the camp, otherwise all her efforts would fail.

"I understand, I have to give you a reason to trust me." When the dwarf Hawkins heard about the human part, he immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then took out a bag of gold coins.

"Take it, gold that you humans love most."

Apparently, the dwarf Hawkins had a deep misunderstanding of the humans of his time.

"..." Marika took a bag of heavy gold, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Do you have any more?"

In fact, there are not too many misunderstandings. After all, after becoming the lord of the Fast Territory, there is no salary from the giant royal family, but living on taxes. But Marika still has the Royal Knights to support, and various areas to build, and all the taxes collected are basically used to build the territory.

Marika is quite poor, and even has to consider buying a discounted bra.

The corner of the dwarf Hawkins's eye twitched, and he took out another large bag of gold and handed it to Marika, emphasizing: "This is all I have. I prepared these betrothal gifts because I thought that the only ones who would bring this lost land would be you Soul Eaters."

"Soul Eaters?" Marika held the two bags of gold in her arms, and while asking the question, she scanned the surroundings to see if there were any valuables.

"It's the name given to you by the Valkyries, the group of Valkyries who will take away the souls of warriors. Don't you eat the souls of defeated monsters? You just ate one."

"Soul flames have no taste."

"Is that the point?" The dwarf Hawkins sighed helplessly, not knowing whether the girl in front of him was stupid or cunning, and always aimed at some strange places when she spoke.

"The Valkyries are a group of terrifying female warriors. They will count the number of Heroic Warriors, and you have eaten one. They will start to search the entire city to eliminate you, the Soul Eater, and drive you out of this place."

"That's really a headache." Marika looked straight at the dwarf Hawkins.

"What are you doing?" The dwarf Hawkins was frightened by Marika's look.

"I have seen my subordinates assign tasks to strangers. At this time, you must prepare some countermeasures. For example, a room, a bed, or a tent."

"You are so skilled!" Dwarf Hawkins patted his forehead and pointed to the stove beside him. "I know you Soul Eaters need a bed to rest, so you need to forge it yourself."

"But to make it, you need at least [Advanced Forger], but you should be able to do it easily with your dwarf blood."

"I only have [Forger LV4]."

"You are a dwarf! What else can a dwarf do if he doesn't forge iron!" Dwarf Hawkins was so angry that his beard stood up, with a kind of anger of not learning well in the later generations.

"You can also shout "strength" and smash the enemy with a hammer, or shout "because of strength, so strength" and smash the enemy with a magic hammer." Marika described to Dwarf Hawkins the power dwarves and the strength and wisdom dwarves born among the strangers.

"Damn strangers, they actually ruined the reputation of dwarves!" If there was a favorability bar, Dwarf Hawkins's favorability towards the group called strangers that he had not met would have dropped significantly.

"You actually chose intelligence! Dwarves don't need intelligence at all! It won't help you forge iron even if you choose it!"

When Hawkins hammered the ground and cursed the stranger in the ancient dwarven dialect, Marika had already walked to the forging table and picked up the hammer.

"You have to become a [senior forger] to build a shelter that can hide from the Valkyrie."

"I know." Marika looked at the hammer in her hand and handed it to the dwarf Hawkins.

"You build it."

"Huh!?"
