This is the shame of his life.
Because of this incident, he had to move next to the goblin community... because other Hell Dwarves ostracized him, blaming him for angering the Lord and almost causing them to be deprived of alcohol.
What kind of nonsense is that?
It made it seem like he was the one who introduced that alcohol tax. Did they naively think that if he kept his mouth shut at the time, the Lord would have spared them?
In hindsight, Baruk realized that the Lord hadn't summoned him, reeking of alcohol, to a meeting out of good intentions. From the start, it was a premeditated "daylight robbery"!
As for himself, he was simply a scapegoat thrown into the crowd by that Demon King...
Admittedly, drinking less does make one much clearer-headed.
Previously, Baruk never thought about these things, but now he could analyze them logically.
However, sometimes clarity is a very painful thing, especially when you're sitting among a group of drunkards.
