Volume 4 Chapter 23 Investigation Request
After we took care of the Black Beast that came out of the big hole, we were led to the village chief's house.
...Actually, the village chief was Ena's uncle.
"Lord Zeke. Thank you so much for helping us."
"Really, thank you!"
The important people of this town gathered at the village chief's house.
They were all dwarves, bowing their heads respectfully.
"Don't worry about it. I just did what I had to do."
"Hmm... but your strength is incredible. What's the reason for it...?"
"Oh, uh... that's, it's not really something you should ask about."
If they found out I was the Demon Lord, there would be people who wouldn't be happy.
Even though the demon didn't attack people anymore, many still feared the Demon Lord.
"Well, as an indebted favor, let's not pry too much and get to the point. Ena might have told you, but this dwarf nation is in danger."
"The Black Beast?"
"That's right. A black beast suddenly appeared from the big hole. Because of the corpses, the mines can't be entered, and the land is poisoned."
"Poison..."
"Yeah. Well, you healed it quickly, though."
Apparently, when he healed the town, he also detoxified the land.
"But it's not a cure. We have to get rid of the root cause."
"Hmm... Therefore, Lord Zeke, I want to request you to search for the big hole."
It was a request I had been hoping for.
I had been trying to find the cause of the big hole and the subsidence anyway.
"I humbly accept."
