Leo and Celise went through the forest, guided by the fairies.
It was a very strange experience.
‘Is it like the axis method?’
The fairies moved quickly through the forest with Leo and Celise, and the surroundings changed as if space was being shifted.
Even with Leo’s eyes, he couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on.
Of course, it didn’t go that fast.
The fairies weren’t very good at concentrating.
In the middle of the move, whenever I found something strange, I was bound to stop.
This time, they found a flower garden and started playing among themselves.
“How about this? Isn’t it pretty?”
One of the fairies wove a little flower into a crown and put it on Celise.
Celise smiled broadly.
“yes. It is so pretty.”
“lol. Human women are prettier! What is your name?”
“Call me Celise.”
“I see. I am Popo!”
Fairy Popo fluttered and flew.
Celise looked at Popo with a cute, dying expression.
Leo looked at Selise in wonder.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen Selize look like that.’
It was the first time I knew Celise liked cute things so much.
Of course, the fairies’ cuteness is at a violent level.
Leo, too, had a smile on his lips that hadn’t disappeared.
Even after that, the fairies always visited once in a while when they saw something strange or pretty.
Each time, he made jewelry for Leo and Celise, showing signs of trying to get closer.
It was a sight that made my heart happy.
“Almost there! It will be the residence of the queen soon.”
“Will the Queen like it? He hates humans.”
“He is. Leo is not a human, but a descendant of the 5 heroes.”
“Ah, that’s right. lol.”
“You are stupid.”
The fairies call out to Leo comfortably while talking loudly before he knows it.
They hit each other once like that, and then they folded the space again and moved on.
How long had it been since you entered the fairy forest?
After a while, Leo and Celise arrived at a fairly large clearing.
Of course, it was a clearing at the level of humans, and a village for fairies.
There were small houses between the trees, and fairies came out of them.
They were surprised to see Leo and Celise.
“Hey, are you human?”
“How are humans here??”
“It’s a big deal! We are in big trouble now!”
There was no spirit in the sight of countless fairies making a fuss.
Fairy Popo stepped forward and shouted loudly.
“Quiet! These people are our guests!”
“Popo is right! And he’s not just a human, he’s a descendant of the great karst king!”
“What a great man!”
“Ahem! We brought them!”
The fairies who had been guiding Leo shrugged.
Perhaps because of their guarantee, the village fairies stopped panicking and approached with curious expressions.
“You’re a human, but are you a guest?”
“A descendant of the great king of Karst?”
“wow. Come to think of it, silver hair and silver eyes!”
Celise looked at the cute fairies everywhere and didn’t know where to put her eyes.
She greeted the fairies who approached her with a happy face.
Leo looked at the fairy Popo.
“papaw.”
“Did you call me?”
“Will you guide me to the queen?”
“Yes! Okay! Believe me! Since you are my guest, I must guide you!”
Popo flapped his wings vigorously and moved forward.
The Queen’s residence was a fairly large house at the end of the village.
Unlike other fairies’ houses, it was large enough for a person to live in.
“Queen! I’m here! The guests are here too!”
Popo opened the door and went inside.
A voice was heard from inside.
“papaw. I’ve told you several times to be quiet. But are you a guest?”
“This is the guest I brought! What a great man!”
“Great?”
A puzzled voice was heard.
Leo stepped inside.
Then I could see the figure of the Fairy Queen.
He was about 150 tall, and his light blue hair stood out.
It was as if the cute fairies would look like that if they were grown up and then added beauty to them.
If Leo had silver hair and silver eyes, she too had the same sky-blue eyes as her hair.
Since I fell into this world, I have never seen anyone with the same color of hair and eyes, except for the Roman family.
I don’t know if fairies should be classified as people.
“Uh, how… !”
The fairy queen opened her blue eyes wide, perhaps surprised to see Leo.
“How can humans live in the forest… ?”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Leo Asian Rom Karst.”
Leo greeted politely, revealing his full name.
The Fairy Queen deserved it.
“… Descendant of the Karst King? Are you the royal family of the Roman Kingdom?”
“Yes. you’re right.”
“What’s the human royalty up to here?”
Even though Leo introduced himself, the queen still gave him a distrustful look.
It was different from the other fairies who quickly treated it favorably.
“I’ll tell you in advance, don’t think of flirting with me with sweet words. It’s a no-brainer to play with people’s greed anymore.”
“… It seems like something bad happened in the past.”
“It was a lot. Humans are only harmful to us fairies.”
said the Fairy Queen coldly.
Leo thought it was difficult.
‘If I do this wrong, I might be kicked out.’
The queen’s vigilance was greater than expected.
As far as Leo knows, the Fairy Queen’s abilities are enormous.
According to the results of long-term research by users, in the forest of fairies, it was the fairy queen who exerted almost as much power as a 7th-class wizard.
But even as Leo, he couldn’t just step back.
I’ve come this far, how could I just say it empty-handed?
“I heard from Popo on the way. They say the queen is sick.”
“… useless words… .”
The Queen clicked her tongue.
Popo had been watching from a corner since earlier.
It was because the queen did not welcome the guest she had escorted.
“I am talented in many ways, so if you tell me, I will help you.”
First of all, it was necessary to somehow win the Queen’s favor.
* * *
Fairy Queen Vivian.
She frowned at the uninvited guest in front of her eyes.
‘Another human being came into our forest… .’
The fairies who are his followers are too pure.
No matter how much I warned you, I was deceived by a few human words and guided me to this point.
‘Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to be such a bad guy… .’
If so, from the time he saw the fairies in the village, he would have kidnapped them or removed their wings to use them as magic materials.
But even if he hadn’t done that, the queen couldn’t trust Leo.
It was because he had been hurt a lot by humans for a long time.
Even now, it was because of humans that he was injured.
“Can you fix me? Are you saying you know where I am sick?”
said Vivian with a snort.
He said he was offended on purpose, but Leo seemed unaffected.
“I do not know. So tell me.”
Vivian narrowed her eyes at Leo’s calm appearance.
“… I am now contaminated with demons.”
“Margie? Are you saying you’re experiencing demonic erosion?”
“yes. Don’t look at me funny. Even if I’m in this state, I can drive you out of the forest.”
The queen knew that she was weak and prepared for Leo’s attitude to change.
However, Leo frowned and pondered.
‘The fairy queen is magi erosion. What a hit-and-run situation.’
To the fairies, demonic energy was more lethal than any extreme poison.
Ordinary fairies were about to die right away with just a little bit of demonic energy.
Since she became a fairy queen, she should have been able to survive even after being eroded by demonic energy.
Leo asked.
“If you are suffering from magi erosion, what is the cause? Are there monsters with demonic energy in this fairy forest?”
“… no.”
“Then what?”
“… … .”
The fairy queen’s eyes shook at Leo’s worried look.
That attitude of caring for oneself was different from the mean people I had seen so far.
“… Before, some evil human opened a space in our forest that leads to the demonic land.”
she said in a dejected voice.
“I’m blocking it with all my body so that my kids won’t be affected, but… I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.”
At the Fairy Queen’s words, Leo was able to roughly grasp the situation.
‘this… It must have been something a black magician did to catch the fairies.’
You can’t enter the forest of fairies head-on and kidnap the fairies with your decent skills.
Even if you were a court mage of the empire, it would be difficult to perfectly defeat the perfect fairy queen.
That’s why he seems to have cheated.
Knowing the habits of the fairies, who have a weakness for magic, they opened the space that connects them to the land of demons.
Magic related to space is not something that can be easily performed, but he must have been a very skilled black magician.
“Can’t you close the space with the Queen’s power?”
“It’s too much. There is a core that maintains space somewhere beyond the connected demonic land, and you have to find it and destroy it.”
The queen’s expression darkened.
“But it’s something I can’t do.”
“Why?”
“To find the core, you have to cross over to the Demon Land yourself. But for us fairies, being exposed to demonic energy is fatal. If I leave, all my children will be slaughtered in no time… .”
I don’t know who the black magician came up with this method, but he put his brain to good use.
After opening the space, put the nucleus in the space.
If it was a normal place, it would have been enough to just go over and destroy the core, but the Devil’s Land is different.
Due to the nature of the fairies, even the queen could not be sure of life or death beyond the land.
“Did you say you are a descendant of the great king of Karst? I know you’re nice, unlike other humans. But you won’t be able to help us either.”
Magi were also harmful to humans, if not as much to fairies.
Especially for those with weak bodies like Leo, it was much more lethal.
It is unreasonable to go directly.
However, Leo shrugged and asked.
There were several ways to try.
“Can we just find the core and destroy it?”
“yes.”
“Why don’t you make something like a golem and let it go inside?”
“I have done something similar. But golems don’t know simple combat, but they don’t have the intelligence to find a nucleus, so it’s impossible.”
the queen sighed.
Leo also nodded.
I don’t think the ploy to let the Ice Golem into the Devil’s Land is going to work.
But you can’t use familiar magic.
Although it can control living things, it does not last long in the demonic land and dies quickly.
Then the sorcerer would suffer a huge blow, so it was a method he could not use.
“Then how about this one?”
Leo clapped his hands.
[Active Ice – Eagle]
A cold air gathered in the air, and an ice eagle was summoned.
“I will use my eagle to scout inside.”
“Familiar Magic? that’s… .”
“It is not family magic. Take a closer look.”
“?”
Leo shrugged.
“An artificial creature made of ice. My consciousness is connected, and even if it breaks, it doesn’t hurt me in any way.”
“… … !”
At Leo’s words, Vivian, the fairy queen, widened her eyes.
“what do you think?”
“Go, I think it’s possible!”
She nodded her head in surprise.
