141 – Elves and Dark Elves – 6
“I’ll pick out a new object in the form of a necklace.”
-This is a wise choice.
In the end, after much consideration, the deity that was decided upon was a deity in the form of a necklace, which is a medium of auxiliary Shinwi magic.
A necklace in the form of a non-glamorous thin silver chain wrapped around a small blue jewel. The appearance itself is my style, and I was able to defend myself to some extent with the [Purity] And [Those who fell into the void] Effects, so I decided that this necklace was the best choice.
Above all, I had already received a magic item in the form of a ring, but I did not want to choose the same type of accessory.
-Then let’s unseal the divine object.
With Freesia’s beautiful voice, all the seals that were sealing the sacred necklace were released.
The necklace that had been completely unsealed flew toward me by itself, and I snatched it and checked it right away.
‘[Item Research].’
[Necklace of the Creator of Wind]
-Wind of Creation: You can infuse all things with the energy of wind. Depending on the material, a completely different existence can be created.
This is the first form of magic. It felt like magic with the effect of strengthening weapons or objects… There was one peculiar effect.
The effect of injecting the energy of wind into ‘everything’.
In other words, isn’t it possible to use it not only for inanimate objects but also for living creatures?
-Do you like new things?
“…I don’t know yet.”
-You will like it. In the first place, divine magic cannot be completely explained only with system descriptions.
Looking at Freesia’s confident voice, it must be a useful magic.
In that case, it’s enough to try the experiment right away.
“Let’s see…”
I picked up a stone that was rolling on the ground and held it in my hand.
Then he muttered quietly, concentrating his mana.
“The Winds of Creation.”
Shhhhh-!
Then the boulder began to glow green, and soon mana overflowed like a flood and began to be absorbed into the boulder.
“What?!”
I let out a panicked voice as I checked the mana barrel being sucked out at a tremendous speed.
Even considering the amount of mana used because of Isaac’s corpse, it was a huge consumption. Did I use roughly a third of my total mana?
‘I can’t use it carelessly…’
First of all, it is absolutely not for combat. What kind of madman would spend a third of his mana on strengthening his weapon?
In that case…
– Burururung.
“…..?”
At that moment, the light from the stone disappeared, and soon the stone changed into a completely different form.
No, it’s not the level that has changed, but the ‘root’ itself has changed.
“…What is this?”
-Purrureung?
A green orb jumped out of my palm and started spinning around me.
It must have been an ordinary stone… It suddenly turned into a green orb and began to move freely.
What the hell is this?
-It’s a spirit. The lowest level spirit of the wind.
“A spirit?”
-That’s right. It looks like you’ve acquired a fairly powerful Divinity magic medium.
I didn’t understand.
How on earth can you make a spirit out of an ordinary stone?
Isn’t this level of trust close to ‘creation’ before that?
‘…Ah, the name is the wind of creation, right?’
That, too, is the ‘God Wisdom’ magic.
For a moment, I nodded without realizing it.
“Honestly… I didn’t expect it to be at this level.”
-Purreung?
-That’s what divine magic is. It’s because Divinity Magic is a compilation of only the most grotesque magics out of all the existing magics.
The lowest level wind spirit I created continued to spin around me, radiating its body as if begging me to play with it.
When I reached out my hand, it naturally landed on top of it and began rubbing against the palm of my hand like a dog clinging to its owner.
Honestly, it might be a little cute…? Obviously, it was just a simple spherical spirit, but its cuteness was revealed in its actions.
-I guess you know that you are his parents.
“…I am still young.”
-It’s not strange to have a child or two if you’re like that.
Does that mean that my face has faded? Of course, it may seem that way to the elves, but he is clearly a 24-year-old young man.
-Then is the business over?
“Yes, it is.”
But my gut is telling me.
I will find this place again someday.
Of course, it’s just a simple intuition, but I’m subtly good at this part. Will definitely find this place again.
-It’s time to say goodbye. It’s been a pleasure meeting you so far.
“Why do you say that you will be separated for the rest of your life?”
-Because it actually is. So far, no one other than Bianca has visited the sanctuary twice. If a new elven queen were to be crowned, she would have the child take over her Bianca’s role.
“I will come back.”
– Will that happen?
“It works.”
As long as Bianca claims to be my subordinate, nothing is impossible.
-You’re an optimistic man.
“I’m pretty down-to-earth.”
– It’s done. The more we talk, the more I feel like I’m stopping you, so stop going back.
“Yes, yes…but how does it work?”
-I will transfer you through mana.
“…Then couldn’t it just be sent?”
-……
Ah, I see.
Now Freesia is lonely. The loneliness she feels after spending so many years alone, how lonely she must be when, according to her words, a guest visits her every few decades.
That’s probably why I’m afraid of leaving. I’m afraid I’ll be alone again and stay here.
Perhaps the reason she wished for Isaac’s corpse was her own way to overcome her loneliness beyond her simple affection.
‘I want to stay, but…’
Since a lot of time has already passed, it is unknown how much time would have passed in reality.
She used up quite a bit of her time talking to her and she couldn’t hold it anymore.
“Then please let me go.”
-…Okay.
“I will come back. Please.”
-…I hope that’s true.
It was very like her that she finally spat out her true feelings.
***
Returning to the original place through Phrygia’s teleportation magic, I looked around.
The place where I was standing was Emilia’s office. Judging from the fact that there was no one there and it was dark, it seemed to be around evening. Or the dawn of the morning.
‘How much time has passed?’
Like on Earth, there are no cell phones, so I couldn’t tell how many days it was. The only way is to ask directly.
But at this time, everyone should be asleep, so the only thing left is…
“Veronica is back, right?”
Since Veronica said 3 hours would be enough, she must have finished her errands already.
Due to the nature of a vampire, she rarely sleeps, so it is likely that she is awake at this time.
Kikkik…
I cautiously opened the office door and came out into the hallway, looking around and walking quietly.
Basically, the elves built their palaces in the World Tree, so there was plenty of mana in the air.
Thanks to that, it was virtually impossible to spread mana and detect the presence, and it was only possible to notice a little by narrowing the distance yourself.
‘Where should we start looking for Veronica?’
Veronica also, it would be impossible to find me in the world tree with mana.
So I have no choice but to walk around as much as possible. A person with a level of skill like Veronica would notice when the distance narrowed to a certain extent.
Dubuk…Dubuck…
“…Who are you?”
As I was walking down the hallway, I felt someone’s presence in front of the hallway.
Looking at the mana he exudes, he seems to be a person with a fairly high level.
From noble mtl dot com
At this level… It’s on a level similar to or slightly inferior to Emilia. Was there such a person in this country of elves?
“…..Who are you?”
At that moment, In-Young, who had been walking from the front, spoke to me.
When I heard her voice, I thought it was a woman, but she had a very beautiful tone. If you sing roughly any song at this level, you will hit more than average.
“Do you want to talk about that first?”
“…Man..? I never thought there would be more people in the country of elves with this kind of aura…”
“Who are you? Will you reveal your identity?”
A person of this level of skill is not common, and it must be highly likely that he is a high-ranking official.
“…..Now?”
At that moment, Inyoung walked out and got closer enough to see her.
“…What is it..”
Women were not elves. Her long silver hair down to her waist, her blue face, the pure white priestly uniform worn by religious people, and her beautiful appearance.
If she hadn’t had ordinary human ears, I would have firmly believed that she was an elf.
“…You are human too.”
“I will say it.”
‘[Emotion].’
[LV 84 Cecilia Solios]
Stamina: ?/?
Mana: ?/?
Status: None
Cecilia…So Rios…?
Having the surname Sol Rios means that he is a member of the Holy Nation.
As far as I know, there is only one person in the Holy Kingdom who uses the name Cecilia.
She is a saint.
Yes. The woman in front of me was a saint from the famous Holy Nation.
‘They said the saintess was coming, was it true?’
I’m not surprised. It was something she had already heard from Emilia, so she wasn’t particularly embarrassed.
On the other hand, Cecilia seemed to be observing me with her blue eyes squinting, as if she was interested in my existence.
“Why are humans in the country of the elves?”
“I am a VIP here.”
“…Humans are the honored guests of the elven country? Are you asking me to believe that?”
“Believe it or not, you are free. So shall we just go our way?”
For now, the priority is to get out of this situation. Those eyes of a saintess, the eyes of a child as if they found a toy. It’s clear that nothing good will happen if we keep getting involved.
“Wait a minute. As a race, tell the story once…”
“Is it okay? All of the same species, horned elves and humans, except for the ears, are there.”
“Do you like sweets? I have a bunch of cakes in my room…”
“…Who treats someone like a child… I don’t like sweets so stop.”
“Everyone…Do you know who I am? I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with talking about it.”
“There’s nothing good, then you really go.”
[Dark Veil]
“Ah..?”
When I used [Dark Veil] To disappear, Cecilia made a sound as if she was embarrassed.
‘I won’t bother you, b*tch.’
For reference, I am not religious. As someone who believes that there is no such thing as God, I am not very compatible with religious people.
So I need to find Veronica and go back to my room. Maybe Veronica is waiting for me in my room.
-Purrureung!
“…Were you there too?”
-Pureung!
At that moment, a green orb popped out of my chest and clung to me with a sound you would hear in a 4X Monster.
Come to think of it, I don’t know what a spirit is. Do you know Veronica?
I’ll ask you later.
-Purrureung!
…Does it just feel like a dog and a cat?
