"So, this family has always been looking for blacksmiths who meet their requirements throughout the kingdom."

"Then provide them with high-quality materials and wages, and hire them to forge swords for you."

"And Lars, someone from the Sword Saint family also came here."

Gralin paused here, his throat vibrating as he let out a meaningless dry laugh.

He took another sip of his wine and said, "At that time, there were two blacksmiths in Lars who had the opportunity to go to the capital to realize their dreams."

"One of them is me, and the other is a human blacksmith."

"But they only have one quota allocated to the city of Lars."

"Because so many years have passed, the family's demand for new blacksmiths is actually very low."

"At that time, they came here just to follow the traditions of the past."

"And after that, they never came here again."

Hearing this, Murphy understood what Uncle Gralin meant.

He pondered for a moment and spoke tentatively.

"And at that time, eight years ago, the war between the demons and humans happened to break out in Lars."

"So the human blacksmith wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate his opponent."

"That is, Uncle Gralin."

Gralin nodded silently and drank his wine without saying a word.

At this moment, he was like an old man in his twilight years, completely losing his previous energetic look.

Murphy understood that Gralin felt very guilty about his friend dying to save him.

Murphy knew this feeling very well.

"Uncle Gralin, it's not your fault. That was my father's own decision."

"I believe he considered this carefully when he blocked the arrow for you."

Murphy suppressed the dark feelings in her heart and gently comforted the silent dwarf.

However, after hearing these comforting words, Gralin slowly shook his head.

He sighed and said to Murphy.

"Child, you wouldn't understand."

"The human blacksmith."

"The one who shot the poisoned arrow in my back."

"He is my only disciple."

The blacksmith shop fell silent again, with only the fire at the side making noises.

From time to time, there was the sound of charcoal crackling.

Chapter 4 The Weeping Dwarf

There was a crackling sound from the fire nearby, and the sound brought Murphy back to his senses.

"So that blacksmith, is he in the capital now?"

He thought for a while, then asked Gralin who was sitting opposite him.

He did not deliberately mention the word "disciple", but instead used "the blacksmith".

Because he felt that the other person might feel sad, but it turned out that he seemed to be overthinking it.

Gralin nodded at Murphy and spoke in a tone full of guilt.

"That war ended shortly after your father left."

"At that time, I was always running around trying to find the real murderer."

"And my disciple followed me while pretending to be serious."

"While secretly seeking out the Reinhardt family, he eventually left for the capital."

"On the day he left, I vaguely realized that he was the real murderer."

"But I...but I don't have any evidence at all. It's all just my own speculation."

"I can't avenge your father, nor can I avenge my good friend."

"I have never dared to go to your house. I dared not face you and your mother."

"Because the man who killed your father, he..."

"I am the disciple I taught."

"So in the final analysis, the person who killed your father was me."

Gralin said as he drank his wine.

He first drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then drank the bottle of wine that Murphy brought.

It was probably because he drank too much, and the feeling of self-blame in Gralin's heart was infinitely magnified.

So his tone became more and more excited.

Halfway through his speech, he couldn't help crying again.

His face was distorted, and even the sentences that came out of his mouth were intermittent.

However, this dwarf uncle, who became more emotional after drinking, did not stop because of these things.

He just kept talking while crying ugly like this.

Perhaps, he just wanted to vent the guilt that had been tormenting him for so many years in this way.

"I've been hiding from you all the time. I've been running away from my past."

"I even planned to escape like this for the rest of my life."

"But later...but later I heard that your mother also left."

"It was then that I realized how stupid I was and what stupid things I had done."

"I even think those leaves are right. The dwarves are just a race of stupid people with poor brains."

Gralin paused for a moment after he finished speaking, then he sniffed and continued in that guilty voice.

"I secretly attended your mother's funeral and saw you standing there."

"You were just a ten-year-old child at that time, standing alone in front of your parents' graves, feeling pitiful and helpless."

"You are my friend's only child, so I hope you can grow up well."

"That's why I contacted the church and asked them to raise you."

"That way, you won't be bullied by others, and you won't become a bad person with low moral character."

"Later, I spent a fortune to help you preserve the house so that it wouldn't be taken back by the kingdom."

"But even so, I still don't dare to see you."

"I owe you so much, I can never repay you, kid."

All the tears that Gralin had been accumulating burst out at this moment, so many that they even wet the beard on his chin.

And his face, which was already old and ugly, looked even uglier and weirder because he kept crying.

But when Murphy looked at the dwarf crying in front of him, he surprisingly didn't feel any discomfort.

He just felt a little sad.

He felt sad for himself, for Uncle Gralin, and for his father and mother.

"Uncle Gralin, are you feeling sorry for me now?"

"Yes, poor child, I'm so sorry."

Murphy smiled, then shook her head.

"Uncle Gralin, I don't blame you. It's not your fault."

"On the contrary, I want to thank you for sending me to the church."

"And my father certainly won't regret it, because it was a choice he made himself."

"But I hope you can tell me the information about your apprentice."

"I want to know everything you know about him."

Murphy's tone was so calm until the end, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.

After hearing Murphy's words, Gralin's gaze, which had been avoiding him, refocused on his face.

"...Kid, what are you going to do? Don't do anything stupid!"

"..."

Murphy didn't say anything, he just stared at Gralin, waiting for his answer.

Looking at him like this, Gralin suddenly felt a little scared.

He was not afraid that Murphy would resent him, nor was he afraid that the other party would kill his disciple.

To be honest, if there was a chance, he would have done it himself long ago.

He was afraid that Murphy would do something stupid and throw his young life away.

However, before he fell into deeper worry, Murphy suddenly laughed.

This strange change made Gralin, who was now emotionally unstable, feel surprised.

"Hey, don't worry, Uncle Gralin, I won't do anything stupid."

"...Really? Kid, please don't lie to me."

"I won't lie to you, Uncle Gralin."

"Just like that bottle of wine before, it really doesn't mean anything to me."

Perhaps because of Murphy's sincere eyes and affirmative tone, Gralin seemed to believe what Murphy said.

He nodded at Murphy, and seemed to be muttering something in a crying voice.

The voice was a little soft, and Murphy could only hear part of it clearly, but she could roughly guess what he said.

"That's all right, kid."

"If something happens to you, what right do I have to live?"

"Even if I follow you in the end, I don't have the face to face your parents."

Hearing the sincere words of the dwarf uncle, Murphy felt a warm feeling in her heart.

He truly feels happy for his lucky self now.

So far, his master, Old Jed, has not died saving him, and his former Warcraft friends are also fine.

Moreover, he even made substantial progress with Ella and resolved his misunderstanding of Candice.

And, he met his father's friend Gralin, the dwarf uncle.

Now, all he needs to do is to continue changing his future while protecting these people.

Of course, he didn't intend to let some people go.

Because the future will be created with blades and teeth, simple and clear.

Huh?

This sentence...

Who said that?
