In an unusual turn of events, the koro dwarves visited me in the fortress. Apparently, the search for black iron ore in the cave has been going smoothly, so they decided to forge a prototype weapon. Their visit today was to show me that prototype.

"King of Goblins, I present to you..." The representative koro dwarf bowed his head as he respectfully presented to me a long sword.

It was a lustrous blade with its balance perfectly aligned at the center.

"Well made. How many can you make in a day?" I asked.

The dwarves talked among themselves, then the representative turned to me with a frown as he bowed. "Unfortunately, we can make no more than two a day."

Two swords, that was far too few. But considering the manufacturing process and the number of koro dwarf smiths, two swords is probably the most they could make.

In fact, when you think about their circumstances, it's actually a lot.

"In that case, forge a weapon every day and use the rest of the time to teach the centaurs and the Ganra your craft."

If the centaur and the Ganra could learn to forge, the number of weapons we could produce would also increase.

So long as the ore – the fuel so to speak – can keep up, the number of weapons produced should rise greatly.

"If you have any requests..."

The koro dwarves bowed their head and promised to cooperate.

I was pretty much asking them to hand out their secrets, there was no way they would happily comply. Fortunately, the elven school turned out to be an attractive bait.

The koro dwarves have never been given the opportunity to enter the elven school, so they were willing to close their eyes to the small disadvantage they would incur by teaching the Ganra and the centaur.

"I look forward to your work."

As I said that, I dismissed them and welcomed Gilmi.

"It's been a while, Your Majesty. I've come to report the completion of the beacon you've asked to be built."

The Ganra were the most handy among the goblins, so I ordered their hero, Gilmi Fishiga, to construct me a beacon that will let us know when the enemy is attacking.

"How is it?" I asked.

"It was difficult to see from the Fortress of the Abyss, so I built another one at the village of Ganra. My apologies for taking action on my own," Gilmi said.

I had asked him to build it at the cave where Gi Go once lived in, but apparently, it was difficult to see from here.

To think that he was able to ascertain the purpose behind the beacon and was able to take steps to meet that goal, as expected of Gilmi, he is indeed someone you can rely on.

"You've done well. I will be relying on Ganra for the days to come," I praised.

"We shall do anything if it is for the king," Gilmi replied.
