New Elf Village (1)
Mysterious Forest.
It is not a forest with a good environment for humans to live, apart from being named Mystery.
Considering that they are full of all kinds of monsters and monsters, and that they mainly prey on living humans.
Of course, it was only natural that the quality of such monsters and beasts would increase the further one went into the depths of the forest.
Normally, there would be no people on the way to the center of the mysterious forest, but-
-Keek!
– Wow!
“It’s terribly noisy.”
Today was an exception.
Various monsters roaring at the living humans who have entered their territory and regaining their appetite.
They were not kind enough to leave a living human being.
They roared wildly enough to say that they were loud, and rushed towards the humans who had set foot in the heart of the forest.
Kick-
Monsters that have adapted to the forest are more dangerous than wild beasts.
Their intelligence is higher than that of wild beasts, and their ferocity is unparalleled.
But unfortunately for them, the beings they prey on were wrong.
“Hey guys?”
-Yep!
– Take care of yourself, neatly and sensibly!
– Gaza!
With Elena’s whitish smile, the spirits that had been hovering around her sprinted towards the front.
Fire, water, earth, wind.
Monsters, including monsters, could not contain their bewilderment at the rush of those who embraced the power of nature’s four major attributes.
– Keruk?
– Cr… … .
It’s no wonder that they suddenly lost the right to take precedence, but the spirits rushing towards them were the first people they had ever seen, so it was natural if it was natural, but the spirits were not interested in them.
-go away!
-Don’t disturb Elena’s private time!
Monsters, including monsters, were torn apart without even screaming, let alone resisting, in their storm-like attack, which became contemplative as if they had seen something very scary.
burning in hot flames.
The airway is blocked by cold water.
A blade-like wind crushes the whole body.
Further, until the soil buried them alive.
“Elena.”
“yes?”
“Why do they look so desperate?”
“… … It must be the mood.”
Although the appearance of her secretly avoiding answers seemed very unfamiliar to Heize, it was also true that she was able to move forward quickly thanks to her.
‘Elena already made a contract with the highest level spirit.’
Top notch spirits.
It is said that he has already surpassed the achievements of Harun, the Academy’s professor of the Spirit Department.
It was an unbelievable achievement that I had just entered the third year…
‘Well, it’s only natural that Aldebaran’s attention is paid to him.’
Considering that Elena was receiving a lot of attention from Aldebaran, the spirit king among the spirit kings, it was natural.
Could it be that Elena was able to participate in my field training during the semester?
Because all of them have proven their powerful talents and abilities that are not behind me.
So, I did not vomit at Elena’s words, but moved forward as if on her back.
‘The bus is sweet~’
It wasn’t too bad that I, who had always been at the forefront of others, moved forward with the help of others.
No, it was not enough to say that it was rather good.
How far did I go towards the center of the mysterious forest along the path cleared by the spirits that Elena hummed while humming?
Wedge eh!
“… … Harm!”
“Damn!”
A sudden shot of an arrow blocked our way.
Naturally, I wasn’t the one to miss the arrow’s movement, so I gently embraced Elena right away.
He lightly dodged the arrows that were shot by flying his body backwards.
Needless to say, Lily knew how to avoid it.
I didn’t really worry about it because I didn’t know that it was an arrow that was fired for check rather than attack.
together-
“… … Hey?”
“Oh, it’s been a while. Eldea.”
Especially considering that the person who shot the arrow was the purpose of my coming to the elf village.
Eldea.
The owner of the elf village and the leader who leads the elves in the elf village.
Eldea saw again after a few months, but her beauty had not changed at all.
Perhaps she was moving with another elf scout, and she landed in front of us with a surprised look.
“Well, what’s going on here all of a sudden?”
It was nice to see you after a long time, but Eldea couldn’t hide her bewilderment.
Seeing her coexist with a bit of embarrassment and surprise, I shed a bitter smile and moved to the side.
At the same time, he said while illuminating Elena, who was hiding behind me, to Eldea.
“I have someone I want to introduce to you.”
“… … Introduce? Come to think of it, this is the first girl I’ve ever seen. What about the kids I saw last time?”
While tilting her head at the word “introduction,” Eldea, who immediately contrasted her face with those who had come before, tilted her head.
The kids I saw last time.
I smiled bitterly at her words, pointing to Natasha and Bella, and shook my head.
“I didn’t come with you this time.”
“I’m sorry. I wish I had seen your face after a long time. Oh, sorry for the arrow. When we saw our kid made it to the center, we shot him right away.”
“it’s okay. No one was hurt anyway, and I wouldn’t have thought I’d be here.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
I was able to introduce Elena to her only after receiving an apology for the arrow I had just shot as a check.
“This is the one that Aldebaran-sama I talked about the other day is interested in-”
“… … Meet a great man.”
“… … Meet the great!”
“uh… … .”
And with the elves kneeling with pale weary faces before my words were finished—
“Hehehe, what have I done- I apologize with this wretched life!!!”
“… … Stop over there.”
Watching the elf commit suicide, presumed to have just shot an arrow, I could naturally sense that something strange was going on.
Of course, it wasn’t that bad for us, so I had no intention of stopping it, but-
‘Still, it’s not suicide.’
Tight!
After striking the back of the elf who was about to cut his own throat with a dagger, he stunned him.
After taking a quick glance at the quiet surroundings, we were able to enter the village before a full-fledged conversation.
* * *
“… … Are you really Aldebaran’s contractor?”
Eldea’s rather polite appearance was very unfamiliar, but it didn’t really matter, so she roughly nodded her head.
“I can’t even call myself a contractor right now because I’m not at the level to sign a contract yet.”
“Hmm, but given his age, it’s only natural. Now… … .”
“A superlative spirit.”
“… … To be honest, the number of elves who have contracted with the highest level spirits is not that many. However, the fact that he signed a contract with the highest level spirit at the age of less than 20 is close to convincing evidence.”
“It’s very fortunate.”
I had to tell the truth, even with tears in my eyes, but fortunately, there was no need for that, and Eldea immediately believed me.
I don’t know if it was because she was an elf or because she believed in me, but I wanted to applaud her for the fact that I had less work to do.
“Then you’re saying he’s staying in town for a while?”
“Perhaps it is. It’s probably a little bit too much to take to the Magyeong… … It’s dangerous.”
“Hmm, to be honest, I don’t even want to send Heize-sama into the magical realm… … You have grown tremendously in a matter of months.”
magi.
It is a crazy place where all kinds of demons are infested.
It goes without saying how monstrous this place is, as it is said that even ogre monsters are commonplace, and there are demons who breed such ogre monsters and troll monsters, so the Demonic Spirit was one of the prohibitions that should never be set foot in.
However-
“It is enough for me to survive now. I am not going alone.”
“You’re talking about a girl named Lily. I’m sure he’s strong too. Still, I can’t help but worry.”
It wasn’t a particularly dangerous place for me right now.
It was only to the extent that I felt a little bit dangerous.
Moreover, there is even Lilith who is called Soma King and Demon Princess by my side.
As long as she doesn’t turn to my enemy, there won’t be any danger wherever she goes.
‘If I wanted to kill him in the first place, I would have killed him right away, so it would be fine.’
There was a good chance that Lilith would kill me, but even though it could have been enough for months, Lilith didn’t.
In such a yard, the probability of being dragged and killed by a horseman is extremely low.
So I wasn’t really worried.
Aside from Lilith trying to kill me, the Demon Sword wouldn’t be in danger, and the chance that Lilith would kill me is very low.
“… … I can’t help it if you say it like that. I’ll take good care of him while he’s gone.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“And if it takes quite a while… … I think I might be able to arrange a contract with the Spirit King for him.”
“… … Five.”
I have a reason to come back late.
Although Elena has a strong tendency to depend on me, the longer I have been away, the quicker she has sharpened her talents as a spirit master, so I decided that it would be of great help to me if Elena signed a contract with the spirit king, so I decided to slow down my life in the demon realm.
“I beg you.”
“We also have our own goals, so we don’t have to do it too much.”
“What is the purpose?”
“If you sign a contract with the Spirit King, you will be fully connected with Aldebaran-sama.”
“Aha.”
Aldebaran is like a god to the elves.
When the Spirit King and Elena sign a contract, a communication window is created to communicate with Aldebaran.
It is said that it would not be strange if the entire elf village, including El Deia, rushed to help him hone Elena’s abilities.
“It’s a win-win.”
“Ho-ho, please come slowly.”
Eldea knew that too well, so I hoped that I would return as late as possible from the Magic Realm.
I also had no intention of coming back from the magic scene, so I roughly nodded my head at her words.
In the meantime, an idea ran through my mind.
“Mr. Eldea.”
“Yes, just talk.”
“Would you like to fight with me?”
“Is it Dalian?”
Battle with Eldea.
That was the thought I had.
Eldea, who had tilted her head at my words, nodded as if she understood.
“You’ve definitely gotten stronger, so I want to check it out—this is it.”
“you’re right. After I got stronger, there was no one to fight with, so I couldn’t figure it out properly. But if it’s Eldea-sama, can’t you be good enough for me?”
“Well, it is.”
Eldea is an S-class strongman.
Perhaps it could be said that it was an S+-class existence.
‘I was pushed a little because I didn’t have good compatibility with the ogre monsters, but I’m never pushed by any opponent. If it’s Eldea, you can get along well enough with me.’
Depart Kane and Lastina of the strong sword had many eyes to see, so it was difficult to apply for a match.
But Eldea is different.
She lives in an elven village where she doesn’t have to care about other people’s eyes.
“like.”
“thank you.”
And Eldea did not turn down my request, and I followed her with a smile brighter than ever.
