Chapter 71

The Book of Harmony was inside the sarcophagus of the great sage Eldolargon.

Oto broke into the sealed tomb of Eldolargon without any hesitation.

Crash!

The stone coffin collapsed.

Swoosh!

The remains of Eldolargon, now reduced to bones, glowed brightly, and the ghost of a dwarf with a long, white beard appeared.

- The one who was promised.

The ghost of Eldolargon spoke to Oto.

The problem was that Oto's expression was not very bright.

This was because the current Oto was extremely exhausted.

He had worn himself out trying to soothe the senile dragon Kurran, and had no energy left to converse with the ghost of Eldolargon.

Moreover, he was covered in a mixture of blood, saliva, and phlegm from Kurran's rotten gums, as well as excrement, making him look like a mess.

- Why do you disturb my rest...

"Can you just give it to me?"

Oto interrupted the ghost of Eldolargon and extended his hand.

"I'm really tired right now. I just want to wash up and rest, so can you just give it to me?"

- ......

"Isn't it to use the Book of Harmony, which you spent your life researching and completing, to achieve world peace?"

- H, how do you know that?

Eldolargon looked flustered.

"I know because I came here knowing everything. Do you think I would come here without knowing?"

- T, that...

"The reason you created the Book of Harmony is because dwarves constantly insult, fight, and betray each other."

Eldolargon, a dwarf mage from the Red Forge tribe, was a very unique individual.

The fact that he, a dwarf, had learned magic and earned the title of great sage was proof enough that he was an anomaly.

He was a being that had completely transcended the racial characteristics of dwarves.

Eldolargon was heartbroken by the fact that dwarves, due to their inherent nature, could not live in harmony and formed tribal societies.

Even within the same tribe, dwarves often fought with each other, preventing them from forming a united force and causing them to live scattered.

Therefore, Eldolargon created the Book of Harmony, hoping that dwarves would stop fighting and live in harmony.

"If you give me the Book of Harmony, I will build a dwarf kingdom for you."

- ...!

"A utopia where dwarves can live harmoniously and freely express their creative desires. Isn't that what you, Eldolargon, wish for?"

- Y, yes.

"And a statue of you will be erected in the center of the capital of the dwarf kingdom. You will be revered as the saint who united the dwarves."

- Indeed, the one who was promised... You have come to me knowing everything.

Eldolargon realized that Oto saw through his intentions and acknowledged him as the one who was promised.

Oto was to be the owner of the Book of Harmony, the artifact he had spent his life creating...

- Very well. I will give you the scripture I have completed over my lifetime.

"Thank you."

At the same time, a large book floated up.

[Notice: You have obtained the <Artifact: Book of Harmony>!]

Eldolargon gave Oto the Book of Harmony and smiled kindly.

- The one who was promised. I hope you will fulfill my wish. I firmly believe you will not use this scripture for evil purposes.

"Don't worry about it."

- Then I will trust you and enter my rest. May glorious light be upon your path. I earnestly hope you will achieve world peace with the power of this scripture...

Eldolargon disappeared like a mirage after saying this.

"Sure, world peace."

Oto said to himself with a bitter tone.

"The problem is that millions will have to die."

He knew all too well that behind peace lay the blood of countless people...

After obtaining the Book of Harmony, Oto was treated with great hospitality by the dwarves and rested.

He was too exhausted to immediately descend the mountain.

After resting for two days, Oto received a gift from Edham, the chief of the Red Forge tribe and the village elder.

"Please accept it. It is a gift for your benefactor."

"Huh?"

Oto was slightly taken aback by the unexpected gift.

He had never expected to receive a gift.

"It is a treasure that has been passed down in our Red Forge tribe. I will give it to you."

"This is..."

The gift from Edham was a set of armor with a burning red background and golden decorations.
