Chapter 218 – Eden’s Identity (8)
“Welcome. But as you can see, there really is nothing left. But can you really find it?”
“Each race has one special power. And the world is wide, and there are many races living there.”
A place where literally nothing is left. The only things that are there are the clutter that those who left in a hurry couldn’t fix. A group of Dwarf investigators who arrived at this place, where there were only traces of residents once lived, had not been able to find out anything.
What the hell happened here, how did it happen, who did it, and so on.
However, the human wizard Pietro, who arrived here today, had a confident expression despite the suspicious glares of the dwarves.
“I won’t say anything because the king trusts me, but I don’t want you to be disappointed. I came here in person while I was busy with a lot of business.”
“Don’t worry. There will definitely be results. Rather, what matters is the will of His Highness the King, including you.”
Lesai, one of the ministers of the Dwarven Kingdom who came to this place in person, did not like Pietro’s behavior.
The organization that Pietro belongs to cooperates with the Dwarf Kingdom and helps quite a bit, but in the end, they are only acting for their own benefit, not loyalty.
They were just strangers who would leave the Dwarven Kingdom without hesitation if they judged it to be unprofitable.
“Find the clues, Elise. As promised, freedom will be granted to you and your people if you do your duty well.”
“Get your hands off this crap.”
Pietro showed a relaxed smile and placed his hand on the shoulder of the being standing behind him. A being that covers her entire body with a black robe, but her voice and thin lines reveal her female body.
She shook her body and pulled her hand away from her in awe.
“Do you really think vampires have that ability? I’m hearing it for the first time.”
“I heard that it is an ability that only a special clan among vampires can use. I came to know about it through this opportunity.”
With both of her wrists bound in her handcuffs, Le Sai admired her movements as she tried to do something.
Pietro, who tried to use her to solve her case this time and get paid by her dwarf king Karson, didn’t deny it either. That’s really how things fit together.
‘I can’t help it. To save everyone.’
She gritted her teeth and ignored her gaze directed at her. This is what I was prepared for from the moment I left the Demon Realm as if I were running away.
‘I found it.’
Elise looked around the village where all the residents had left, and what she was looking for was none other than bloodstains. She wanted the marks to be in as good a condition as possible, unstained as well.
Although much of the time has passed and most of them are only traces, she still searches the whole town and finds a few bloodstains where she can use her powers.
Most of them were the bloodstains of soldiers of the Central Army who were suppressed in the last battle.
‘Show me.’
She used her own power on those bloodstains. A sort of psychometry that allows her to retrace memories etched in her blood.
It was a power of blood that only a few pure-blood vampires could use, like spirit magic that was allowed only to some of the elves.
“Everything happened.”
“You really read the memory? What the hell happened here?”
“It’s just stupid dwarves fighting each other.”
She told Pietro what she had read about her. Most of those testimonies were scenes of Eden’s special envoys and enraged crowds attacking and knocking down Central Army soldiers, and scenes of overinvestigation by Nofen, who saw the blood of the district commander remaining in the torture room.
“Hmm, was it just a simple commotion caused by a corrupt official’s mistake?”
He didn’t bother to question the testimony, thinking that she wouldn’t lie about her being held hostage by her own clan who had fled to the continent with her.
At least up to this point, Pietro would have seen this incident as an incident of people leaving, angered by the instigation of other defectors and the tyranny of the central government.
“Wait, what is this?”
But when Elise read another memory.
She saw something in her. It was a blonde boy with pointy ears.
***
“Is that true now?! An elf!? That’s an elf from the Great Forest with blonde hair!”
“According to the testimony, that boy was the only elf. But it’s interesting. The elves of the great forest recently surrendered one human kingdom, and they hadn’t even appeared on this northern continent before.”

Lesai jumped up after hearing the information he had obtained, but Pietro was unexpectedly calm. Because it was someone else’s business anyway.
“Like what happened last time, it’s clear that somewhere in this place there is a force that has joined hands with the elves. Of course it’s not certain. That elf boy could be a bum on the elf side.”
“In any case, it doesn’t matter. We must find out and retaliate.”
LeSai was more angry about the incident triggered by Nofen’s actions than about what his direct subordinate, Nofen, did.
Especially, he almost frothed at the word that the presumed traitors might have teamed up with the elves.
“Is it possible to find out the truth!?”
“They said it was possible…”
Pietro smiled faintly as he looked down at Lesai, who was whimpering. If Elise used her powers, it would be possible to backtrack her memories and guess the route.
“But think about it. The Elves, who attacked the city of Barten Kingdom in the past and captured it at once, are a thousand units of cavalry armed. We could hit their stronghold, but I wonder if we need to be more prepared.”
“That should be fine. Because we’re not the only ones grinding our teeth at those dwarves.”
When Pietro asked if he would be okay, Lesai smiled as if he had something in mind.
In the past, Serenian, who personally led Eden’s troops to save the Snowflake Clan and Kara, had already taken a stand by attacking nearby humans.
Of course, the leaders of Barten Kingdom were very angry with the elves, but they couldn’t find the troops of Eden who appeared like the wind and disappeared like the wind, and hired hunters to hunt down the snowflake clan hiding in the snowy mountains. .
“If you coax them well, they might be able to step in for you. You must be gnashing your teeth already.”
“…That’s a very wise choice.”
‘Because he’s like a shrewd little man.’
At Lesai’s words that he would realize JJ without harming himself, Pietro smiled and replied, but snorted inwardly.
It’s because he caught a glimpse of the greed of trying to get everything he had without losing anything.
“If you want to eventually root this problem out and solve it, then do it. We will provide the information in exchange for the promised price.”
He said he would use Elise’s power to trace back the information about Eden and then tell you about it.
It was impossible even with human magic, but it was not difficult for Elise.
Through Nopen’s bloodstains left behind, he defies that memory, finds out information about the envoys of Eden, and even discovers the forest road they used.
“Tell the king the news. Give the humans information so we can hit them instead. It was they who crossed the line. How dare you seduce our people and meddle in our internal affairs.”
Based on this, Lesai sent a message to Karson and insisted on ‘attacking’ Eden according to his plan.
Eden, drawn in their imaginations, seemed quite possible because it was just a group of elves located in the North Continent, their front yard and main stage.
“I did everything I was told. So now keep your promise.”
“Don’t be in too much of a hurry, Mr. If you don’t know, let’s watch until the end. I will release you when a new test subject is secured.”
Elise, who was watching the situation, asked Pietro to keep her promise and let her go, since she had done her duty. But Pietro just smiled and said to wait.
“Keuk, a new test subject? What nonsense is that?”
“A rumored elven queen might suffice as your replacement.”
Laughing grimly, he flicked her hand, activating a magical device strapped to her neck. A device that responds to his magic and stabs a built-in needle into her throat at once.
Frightened, she opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but before she could speak her words to the drugs she was injecting, she passed out and collapsed.
“Are you sure you want to let go?”
“Does that make sense? A treasure in which blood itself becomes an irreplaceable medium of magical power.”
Her subordinate, who was next to her, took over the fainting woman and asked him, but he sighed, saying what nonsense he was talking about.
