The Author's POV
Chapter 337
337 Setting the pieces in motion[1]
''Two months..? Why? Since it takes you about two days for each beacon, shouldn't you be able to complete this in a month's time?" Durara asked in wonder. She seemed confused.
In response to her question, I shook my head in denial.
"That would only apply if I sorted all of Jomnuk's information. Unfortunately, I didn't. It will take a bit of time for that."
"I see."
Orion nodded in acknowledgment from the side, understanding what I was trying to say.
"Orion, I don't think it matters much whether it will take two months or not."
One of the elders spoke up, looking at Orion. He was Hutrud, the elder who'd previously doubted my capabilities. I still remembered him.
With both hands interlocked together in a display of thought, Hutrud's eyes remained fixed on the table where a small projection of the outside appeared.
He then pointed at the beacons outside of the walls.
"If we change our plans, as long as my estimate is right, once we manage to deactivate eight of the fifteen beacons, we can break the barrier completely. By then, the barrier will be too weak to withstand a full-frontal assault."
"That's true..."
Durara muttered from the side, her head repeatedly nodding in agreement.
Then, she turned to face me once more.
"I guess that's settled. Do your best in deactivating the rest of the beacons. As I've said before, you will be granted authority at the level of senior advisor. Do as you please."
"Thanks."
I replied with a disinterested look.
Since I was Karl, I had to act the part.
And it soon became apparent that my acting wasn't too far off from the original Karl. The elders merely turned a blind eye to my blatant show of disrespect.
"Since you're here, let me hear about your opinion on a certain matter."
It was then that Orion opened his mouth.
"Wait, are you planning on asking him about that matter..?"
Opening her eyes wide, Durara looked at Orion with an incredulous look.
Orion then glanced at her and the other elders present.
"Even if he's not an elder, it doesn't hurt to ask. The matter has little to no significance to us anyways."
Orion shrugged.
However, Orion wasn't being completely honest.
"I'm just asking for his opinion since he seems to have a bright head on his shoulders. Who knows, perhaps he can even come up with a good plan."
He wanted another opinion because he couldn't get rid of a nagging feeling in the back of his head.
"Well..."
"I think Orion makes a valid point, Durara.
Hutrud spoke up.
Tap.Tap.Tap.
Tapping on the table with his small, chubby blue hand, he looked at Durara and the other duergars present.
"Since he's smart enough to be able to find a way to deactivate the city's defensive system, he should be able to come up with reliable input regarding those humans."
