Chapter 164 Kael: I'm Still Used to Talking with the Elegant Elder Sister (10K, 54/76)_4

This race has an average lifespan of up to 150 years and, due to their frequent solitary travels, often change from being settled in one place to being nomadic. This adventurous nature is widespread among the halfling communities.

As a result, the halflings' loyalty to the Orean Independent Kingdom wasn't as high as one might imagine. In fact, due to the long-term participation and departure of halflings within the kingdom, there was a rapid turnover of its population.

Eventually, although a kingdom of halflings, it was ironically controlled by another race from within.

This race was known as the dwarves, with a stature and situation similar to the goblin race. Legend had it that they used to be some kind of mechanical puppets which, after encountering a curse of flesh and blood by an Evil God, transformed their bodies from mechanical to flesh and blood, eventually evolving into the dwarf race.
