Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1577 1577: Rescue mission (17)

Standing at the entrance of the cave was Grandpa Stumps and a few gnomes.

But at the same time, they didn’t take down the barrier that was around the cave.

As well, there was no way that this large cave only had these few gnomes in it in the first place.

So it was clear that they still didn’t completely trust him.

Or rather, it was better to say that they didn’t completely trust us.

It was hard to blame these gnomes for being distrusting when they were surrounded by humans like this. This was all after they had been attacked by the corruption energy and the strange creatures.

So it wasn’t strange that they were a bit cautious.

Seeing me walk over, Grandpa Stumps waved at me to come and talk to the gnome that was beside him.

The gnome also noticed this and narrowed his eyes to look at me.

But I didn’t panic as I walked over to stand in front of the barrier.

While the gnome was still looking at me like this, I said, “I am the king of the Kite Kingdom and I’m here on behalf of the continental alliance of all races to come and rescue the gnomes. I hope that you will be able to come and talk to our delegates from the different races. There’s a lot that we have to discuss regarding the dark energy and the strange creatures that have plagued your land.”

The gnome didn’t say anything as he narrowed his eyes even more to look at me.

However, he eventually turned to look at the others.

It wasn’t that he had lost interest in me, it was that he was trying to get confirmation from the representatives of the other races.

It was one thing if it was only humans that were here, but the Dwarven King, the Merman King, the elves, and the giants being here all helped convince the gnome. It helped prove that what I was saying was the truth and that I wasn’t lying to him.

After he received this confirmation from the representatives of the other races, the gnome gave a nod before taking out a potion.

This potion had the same effect as the one the Grandpa Stumps had used earlier and created a hole in the barrier. However, this potion seemed like it was a stronger grade than the one that he used before as there was a larger hole that was created.

This allowed the other gnomes that followed them to come out as well.

Once they came out, I raised the Staff of Earth and created a place for us to discuss this matter.

The gnomes seemed surprised by how I raised a table and chairs out of the ground like this, but the other representatives all found this normal. After all, they had already seen the way that I fought with the Staff of Earth, so they wouldn’t be surprised at this point.

Once everyone was sitting down, I started explaining the situation to the gnome.

It seemed that Grandpa Stumps didn’t have the time to tell him most of the things that we already told him, so I had to start from the beginning.

During this time, the others started moving out in different directions.

They were using this time to clear out the corruption energy and the strange creatures that were still left in the land of the gnomes. Even if the source, the Apostle of Destruction was sealed, it wasn’t as if the corruption energy or the strange creatures had been cleansed yet.

But with the Apostle of Destruction taken care of, it was much easier to deal with all of them.

They didn’t regain their power after being purified.

This was something that should have been done before this, but it didn’t feel right doing this in the land of the gnomes while they were still trapped like that. It was only after they came out and gave us permission that everyone spread out like this.

When the story was over, the gnomes all had deeply knitted brows.

While to this, this story didn’t seem realistic, there was nothing that they could do when all of the representatives of the different races were telling them that it was the truth.

So in the end, they had no choice but to accept it.

“So you’re the one that’s prophesied to save everyone?” The gnome that was the leader of this group looked at me with a strange look.

I didn’t want to agree to this, but those from the Holy Empire answered first.

“That’s right. The prophecy will only come true if we gather all the races across the continent to deal with the God of Destruction.”

The way that they said this scared the gnomes a bit.

In fact, it even scared me a bit how they said this.

After all, they had become a bit more fanatical compared to before.

It was as if they had the same faith in me as the faith that they had in their gods…

In the end, the gnomes really had no choice but to accept this explanation.

“Then I represent the gnomes to request that we be added into the alliance of races.”

While it still didn’t seem like he completely knew what was happening, the leader of the gnomes said this before suddenly realizing that he had seemed to have forgotten something.

“Right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Council Speaker of the Gnome Union, Kovic. I hope that will be enough for you to trust me when I say that I can represent the gnomes to make this request.”

“The Council Speaker.” I couldn’t help repeating.

“Is something wrong?” Kovic asked when he heard this.

I quickly shook my head, but I still looked at him with a strange look.

After all, there was someone here that was related to this Council Speaker.

But at the same time, he was the one that had caused that disaster by letting himself be taken over by the Apostle of Destruction.

It was hard to bring this up…
