Chapter 152 Who Is A Dwarf?!

"Who the he*k are you calling a dwarf?" That person shouted at Shin.

"Are you not?" Shin asked with confusion written on his face.

"No, I'm not. I am a human, just like you." The person shouted at Shin. His expression was full of panic.

"Okay Okay fine. I believe you. You are human. It was my mistake." Shin apologized for not wanting to escalate this matter.

"Fueh~" That person sighed in relief.

'Fortunately, I managed to fool him. But how did he figure it out?'

Yes, this person was a dwarf just as Shin mentioned. He was one of the alien species that came to this planet. His name was Mastisk. He was on a mission to live hiding among humans. So he developed a gadget to hide his dwarf features and appear like a normal human.

He was certain that his gadget can even deceive someone with Appraisal skills.

So he confidently decided to live as a human for the last few days. He had a sneer on his face as he mocked those stupid humans who can't even differentiate them.

'These fools, if can't survive like this. Seeing their ignorant expressions irks me. They are so weak how can they defend themselves?'

He kept on dissing humans inwardly all this time and that's when he bumped into someone.

"Ow"

'Don't you have eyes? As I thought humans are thrash.'

He was going to curse him badly. But before he could utter anything he was left dumbfounded by that human's next words.

"A Dwarf?"

'What?'

'What did he say?'

'No, there's no way. How can a human see through his deception?'

'Aren't humans incompetent?'

'It must be a mistake.'

That's why when Shin admitted his mistake, Mastisk was overjoyed. As expected this human-made mistake.

'That scared me.'

Seeing Mastisk's delighted expression Shin was silent. He had a wry smile on his face. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

[Mastisk]

[Species - Elder Dwarf]

[Rank - Dwarven Ancestor]

[Origin Planet - Astoria]

[Level - ???]

[Age - 257]

[Techniques - Dwarven Hammer (7 stars), Technical expert (5 stars), Architecture (4 stars) ???...]

[Trait - looks down on humans, arrogant, serious, passionate.]

All this information was available for Shin to see. But when the other party claimed that he was not a dwarf, what can he do?

He shrugged helplessly. Shin saw that the opposite person was using a decoration device to hide his identity. But too bad it was useless against Shin's Magic Eyes (S).

'Maybe he has his reasons.'

Then Shin noticed Mastisk's rank.

'That's Dwarven Ancestor. Damn, that's not a small person for sure.'

'Even his techniques are great.'

Like a flash of inspiration hit him, Shin's eyes brightened.

'I don't have to search for someone with Dwarf-like skills if I can get the help of a real Dwarf.'

But recruiting someone like him would be difficult and troublesome. He has a high rank among Dwarves. His standing must be even better.

Shin hurriedly blocked the Mastisk from escaping.

"You, what are you doing?" Mastisk frowned not knowing Shin's thoughts.

"Don't get me wrong. I want to ask you a few questions."

"... What is it?" He was somewhat hesitant. But to not arouse any suspicion he agreed.

"Do you live here?"

'Don't tell me he caught onto something?' Mastisk felt sweat trickling around his forehead.

Shin continued.

"You look like a local? You can't be a foreigner."

"Yes, I am from around here. Now don't bother me." Mastisk immediately regretted saying it.

Shin smiled seeing that Mastisk took the bait.

"If you are from here, you must be familiar with the builder-type Awakeneds around here right?"

Before Mastisk could reject it. Shin continued.

"I want a builder type awakened to help me create a base. I'll also provide many materials for him to use. What I want is the quality, the best."

Originally Mastisk wanted to reject him. But Shin's words amused him a bit. 'Quality huh, well it is true all these humans are a waste. They have little to no experience. They are just relying on their abilities. Tsk, Tsk.'

"I want to create an awesome base, so I can provide a good working environment for my subordinates. But I can't find a single expert who can help me."

'True true, if you can these guys experts then I am a god.' Mastisk nodded his head in approval.

"As you are a local, you can probably help me." Shin paused and then continued. "Oh, you agree to help me. Thanks."

Mastisk had a question mark written on his face.

When did I agree?

I was just nodding my head.

Mastisk sighed thinking. 'This young man wants to find an expert in this field. I am also trying to find out more about humans on this planet so it's better to accept it.'

"You don't have to worry about that. I am pretty good too." Mastisk said with confidence. Of course, he is the best. Even among dwarves, he is great.

Shin gave a scrutinizing gaze and questioned uncertainly. "Are you sure?"

"Are you questioning my abilities?" Mastisk's face darkened. Someone dares to question his abilities.

"No No." Shin immediately shook his head and replied.

"You just look very young to have much experience."

Shin's words automatically decreased the guard of Mastisk.

'This young human... '

'He is good.'

'Indeed with my gadget, others see me as a young human. So he would question my experience. Haha.'

Mastisk's mood improved.

'I have more than 200 years of experience.'

'Where can those young men playing experts compare to me?'

"Okay, I'll help."

Shin smirked inwardly. He knew exactly what Mastisk was thinking. It was easy to persuade him. Because Mastisk also wants to find out more about humans and this is a good opportunity to work in hiding.

"Let's go then," Shin said and started flying.

Mastisk also followed after him. Not finding anything wrong with that. It was normal for him to fly so seeing a young man flying was not surprising.

But the people around didn't have the same opinions on the matter.

"Wow, they are flying."

"Mommy, look they flwee like whoosh."

This stunt caused a commotion in the street but fortunately, no one managed to record them.

//A few minutes later

Following Shin, Mastisk arrived at the location where the base was going to be built.
