The Author's POV
Chapter 335
335 Infiltration [3]
[Henolur, Elder council]
A deathly silence enveloped the hall.
"…what did you just say?"
Gernis's solemn voice echoed across the hall.
A terrifying pressure spread out from his small and aged body, completely enveloping the hall.
Subjected to such pressure, Waylan merely frowned.
Having been with Douglas for a long time, he was already used to the pressure. Although Gernis was indeed higher ranked than Douglas, at the end of the day, the dwarves weren't really a combat-oriented race. They were craftsmen, not warriors. They didn't possess the bloodlust or battle-aura frontline fighters did, not to the same extent.
The pressure wasn't anything that Waylan couldn't handle.
"Haaaa..."
Closing his eyes and breathing out, Waylan opened his eyes and stared directly at Gernis.
"I'll say it again. Give me a chance, and I will help you end this war."
"Pftt..."
Once Waylan's words faded, the dwarf with red eyebrows, Randur, burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, I can't-I can't believe this! What kind of nonsense is this?"'
Slapping the table, Randur continued to laugh for a solid minute.
It was only when he realized that everyone's attention was on him that he finally stopped laughing.
Looking around, he asked with a deadpan look, "What? dinna ye guys also find his delusions funny?"
"This be nae laughing matter, Randur."
Gernis spoke gravely, the look on his face severe.
"Don't tell me you actually believe his words?" Randur asked with an incredulous look.
To him, it was clear to see that Waylan was merely spouting nonsense to save himself.
Leaning his body forward, he looked towards the other dwarves present before pointing at Waylan.
"Stop tha war? bah, if he cou've done it, he wou've done it 'afore. Why now? he's clearly just trying ta save his ass. I'm sure yer all smart enough ta understand this, right?"
Unexpectedly, Randur was met with silence. No one spoke up.
The silence further enraged him. He glared at everyone present.
"Have low have we fallen for you guys to not realize this, eh?!"
In reality, everybody shared the same thoughts as Randur. However, unlike Randur, they didn't speak up because of Gernis.
The solemnity clouding his face prevented them from speaking up. He had a grim aura surrounding him, one that seemed to suffocate the air itself.
No one was as fearless as Randur in that situation.
Fortunately for Randur, Gernis didn't seem to mind his words. The latter seemed too preoccupied with Waylan's actions. All of his attention seemed focused on the human before him.
Staring at him for quite a while, he asked.
"...How confident are you in your words?"
"Very."
Waylan flatly replied.
Looking at the other dwarves present, he straightened his back.
"If you give me a chance, I'll do what I said I will do."
