“Buck? Back!”
Paekbaek waved his wings as if he had grown up alone, but he grinned and petted him.
After meeting Griffon, we headed for Eluna through the forest without incident.
After meeting Gryphon, no one showed up even though they flew around freely. It seemed like I was free for the first time in a while, and I felt good.
We had been passing through the forest for a while, but it was so fantastic that we were able to move without getting bored. The aroma and atmosphere of the forest seemed to make even the fatigue disappear.
“We are almost there. Please give me a little strength.”
“it’s okay.”
“yes. can go.”
Deira was considerate of Peru, who was weaker than others. Peru showed a bright smile even in the midst of exhaustion, perhaps feeling grateful for Deira’s consideration.
“Then we will set off again.”
Deira nodded lightly and stepped forward again. As I was about to follow her, Rodien quietly called me from behind.
“Hey, over there, Mr. Yuren.”
“yes?”
“that…”
Rodien was hesitant to speak while looking at Deira in front of him. I slowed down a bit and deployed the curtains to trap her and me so that no sound could leak out.
“Please speak. Deira-sama won’t be able to hear it.”
“thank you. I, I wanted you to go to Eluna over there and not tell me that I gambled.”
“yes? Well, I don’t have any particular reason to say it, but I get it. I will keep my mouth shut.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter if it turns out that it likes to gamble. There are some aunts who nag a lot. It’s not particularly scary. really! Because it’s just annoying. lol.”
“Do not worry. I will pass it on to others.”
“thank you so much. But it’s not really scary! Hearing nagging makes me tired.”
I was wondering what to call her quietly, and it was a pretty cute concern.
I thought I knew who the elf lady would nag at Rodien, so I smiled generously and nodded. Rodien let out a breath with a relaxed expression, as if his worries were alleviated.
But it doesn’t matter, you already know everything.
Rodien didn’t know it, but her every move was going into the ears of the elves that Rodien feared. Everyone knows what kind of gambling you like.
While telling everyone the story of Rodien, we arrived at Eluna’s entrance before we knew it.
“Everyone has suffered. This is Eluna.”
Deira raised her hand and showed the castle of the elves in front of her. A huge sepil tree became a natural wall, enclosing and protecting all of Eluna. It was like a dam made by God.
It looks like no one is guarding the huge gate, but powerful gatekeepers are watching us, hiding behind the thin trees.
“hmm!”
“wow!”
“Incredible.”
Admiration burst through my mouth involuntarily at the grand sight of the endlessly towering thin brush trees lined up.
When I heard the voices of the people next to me, I was more surprised than I was, and my exclamation burst out.
“Whoops. Come in.”
Deira smiled at us in surprise and guided us inside.
“ah…”
“Hey, what kind of fairy tale country is this?”
“You look so beautiful…”
“gulp.”
In turn, this was the reaction of Arin, Creed, Brica, and Peru. As they said, the image of Eluna passing through the sepil tree was the kingdom itself in a fairy tale.
The houses of the elves were built using trees and forests, so nature was not harmed at all, and on top of them, spirits and small spirit beasts were singing beautiful songs while showing off their lights.
In front of us, each one of the most beautiful elves was waiting for us. The green-haired elf in the middle came forward.
“hmm…”
The other elves were also beautiful, but the one in the middle had a different level of elegance, grace, and nobility. The light seemed to emanate from her very existence.
“Welcome to Eluna. My name is Arcia, the warchief of Eluna.”
“thank you for the invitation. My name is Yuren Rocks, the lord of Gairin in the kingdom of Krasis.”
I greeted Arcia with the utmost courtesy. Despite being like the king of a country, Arcia greeted me politely.
“Wasn’t it inconvenient to come here?”
“Thanks to Deira-nim and the other elves, I was able to come here comfortably.”
“I’m so glad.”
Arcia’s smile seemed to brighten the world.
It’s different.
Arcia was no ordinary elf, as the difference was evident from the elegance she exudes from her appearance. Arcia was the only high elf in Eluna with superior strength, spirit affinity, and intelligence than the elves.
“Didn’t Rodien disrespect Yuren?”
“Are you Rodien?”
He looked puzzled at the sudden mention of Rodien’s name.
“Oh, I didn’t explain. Lodien is my daughter.”
“uh?”
“omg!”
“Is that Lord Rodien?”
I pretended to be surprised, but of course I knew. Rodien is a high elf and the daughter of Arcia, the leader of Eluna. However, Rodien had not yet awakened as a high elf.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Since Lodian was in Eluna, she had a lot of accidents, so I was worried about it. Did you bother Yuren-sama by any chance?”
“Oh, Mom! What are you talking about!”
Rodien ran to Arcia with a red face and grabbed her arm and shook her. The elven lady that Rodien said she nags a lot is that Arcia.
“Are you bothered? Not at all. Rodien-nim is a trustworthy colleague you can trust.”
I didn’t think about scoring points. He told the truth coming out of his heart. Even when Sloth invaded, it was Rodien who was in charge of Myra’s escort.
“ah…”
“Hmm…”
Upon hearing my answer, Rodien avoided my eyes, and Arcia looked at the shy Rodien with a friendly smile.
“Then I’m really glad. Whoops. It seems that this child has finally matured.”
“mom…”
“I thought you might be tired from coming, so I prepared a place to rest. Come over here.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“Bap!”
When everyone was about to move, the swarm that had barely been caught moved like crazy and rushed at Arcia.
I wondered if he had stopped running after the elves after growing up, but he couldn’t stand the pure scent of nature coming from the high elf, Arcia.
“Is this Yuren-sama’s Spirit Beast? Veloa is an unusual child.”
“sorry. He’s so rude…”
“are you okay. But, this kid is special. It’s surprising that there are so many spirit energy, but three attributes. Great.”
Arcia recognized Paekbaek’s ability at a glance. She, too, opened her eyes wide and looked closely, as if surprised.
“He has a bright personality and is healthy. I like the owner very much. Whoops. Congratulations on getting a good boy.”
“Does he like me?”
“yes. greatly.”
“hmm…”
I couldn’t believe her words as I wasn’t paying attention to myself and I was rejoicing in Arcia’s arms.
Thankfully, Arcia briefly introduced Eluna while hugging her tightly, said that since she would be tired, let’s talk tomorrow, guided her to the dorm and went back.
“You treat me much more kindly than I expected.”
I don’t know if it’s because I became very close with Rodien or because he served me as the highest honored guest, but the elves were more kind than I thought.
“Extract…”
It was sleeping soundly on top of a giant fluffy leaf. He must have been tired from working all day. After looking at him for a while, I sat down.
“It’s a place that can be called nature itself, so there is an abnormally wide spread of energy.”
Eluna is a place surrounded by uncontaminated primeval nature, so mana was spread several times more than outside. It feels like my inner energy will build up just by breathing.
I thought it would be better to practice internal energy than to sleep today because it would have a considerable effect if we practice internal energy here.
“You’re not going to die if you don’t sleep for a day.”
He sat cross-legged and started operating the Mandokja Telegraph. The amount of energy that was sucked in was definitely different from the outside.
While training in Gairin felt like drinking water through a straw, at Eluna, it felt like drinking the whole water in a bowl.
It wasn’t just a lot of mana, it was going well to focus on the huge flow of nature. It was when he fell into a trance while feeling the sea-like mana.
A sword appeared in the mental space of my upper tier, which should have been empty and selfless. I think I saw it somewhere, but I can’t remember.
Although the sword was alone, it was moving freely as if someone was holding it. Looking closely at the movement of the sword, it was not just moving.
He was moving with an established and systematized sword, but it was a sword he was familiar with.
Maybe with this sword and sword…
Eluna (4)
The sword had an insipid shape, but not as a moving sword. He was moving with a perfectly organized and well-organized sword, as if wielded by a swordsman who had reached the level of a master.
‘I understand now.’
The moment I saw the third sword, I immediately recognized what swordsmanship it was, and I also realized where I saw the sword.
‘Swordsmanship is the basic swordsmanship of the kingdom of Krasis, and the shape of the sword is the same as that in Carbol’s swordsmanship book.’
The sword that moved alone was the basic swordsmanship of the kingdom of Krasis that had reached perfection, and the shape of the sword was very similar to the sword in Carbol’s swordsmanship.
‘But why did this happen?’
It is unknown. If you fall into no-self while practicing internal energy, you will be in a state of nothingness where you don’t think about anything and leave your body and mind to the flow of the world.
Now, it was different from the previous mua. I could think and see the swordsmanship unfolding before my eyes.
From noble mtl dot com
‘I don’t know why this happened, but there must be a reason.’
I observed the basic swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Krasis with utmost concentration. I thought that this was also training and did not want to miss a moment.
Whoo!?
After the 18 basic swordsmanship postures of the Kingdom of Krasis were over, the sword rotated slowly in the air as if greeting me.
‘Is it over?’
I thought that I was perfectly learning the swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Krasis, but seeing it this way was different. It seemed that his understanding of the sword had increased.
Swoop.
The sword gradually faded and began to disappear. Just when he thought it was over, a new sword appeared where the sword had disappeared.
‘That road is the Kingdom of Lovell.’
It is also a form I have seen before. It is the weapon of the Lovell Kingdom, which is said to be the best in terms of sharp swordsmanship.
shah!
The sword also moved alone like Krasis’ sword and showed me the swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Lovel. This time, without missing a moment, he captured the swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Lovell.
After finishing the eighteen stance of the basic swordsmanship of the Robel Kingdom, the Tao flew forward quickly as if threatening me and then disappeared.
‘I feel like my personality is different depending on the characteristics of the sword and the shape of the sword.’
Just as Krasis was divided into serious swords and Mabel’s sharp swords, the swords seemed to have different personalities.
I expected other swordsmanships to appear, but they didn’t appear anymore, and the white space I was looking at started to move away.
‘It’s over.’
The mind that had been lost in selflessness began to return to reality.
“hmm…”
When I opened my eyes, I felt more refreshed than ever before. I didn’t sleep a sigh, but it feels like I’ve been sleeping for more than 10 hours. As I was about to get up, messages appeared in front of my eyes.
[You can practice the basic swordsmanship of Krasis Kingdom with a more serious sword.]
[You can practice the basic swordsmanship of Lovell Kingdom with a sharper sword.]
[The proficiency of the swordsmanship that spreads the connection is greatly increased.]
“Did I maximize the strengths of the swordsmanship I learned?”
It seemed like he did well to focus on the movements of the swords when he was in the spirit world.
Myra’s strength in swordsmanship is also welcome, as you never know when she might be using her swordsmanship, such as during a rescue. As the saying goes, it might be possible to adapt swordsmanship to cancer technology.
“I can’t believe that the proficiency of swordsmanship that unfolds through connection is raised… is it a sword?”
Up until now, I had only memorized the connection, but I had never practiced swordsmanship. Actually couldn’t Because I lacked the skill of connection resolution.
“But it might be possible now.”
He achieved great growth by burning Isaac. If done right, like the swords I saw in the spirit world, I might be able to perform swordsmanship without holding it.
“I might be able to use a real sword soon…”
**
“This is fine.”
We had a light breakfast with the food the elves brought us.
The taste and quality of the food was not bad, as if it had been prepared for us in advance.
What I especially liked was Eluna’s fruits for dessert. It was a fruit that looked like a combination of the color and peel of a kiwi with the shape of a banana, but it was strangely sweet and salty at the end.
Originally, I don’t like fruit very much, but the natural sweetness and salty taste harmonized, so I constantly drank.
“Bap!”
For a description of the fruit, just look at Bakbaek. He ate so much fruit that his body doubled, and he was unable to fly and struggled.
“Buck.”
“Then why did you eat that much?”
“Yuren.”
As I was playing with my fingers, I heard Deira’s voice outside. I went out and greeted Deira.
“Did you like the meal?”
“yes. I really enjoyed the meal. The fruit is especially delicious.”
“thank god.”
“This guy ate especially well. thank you.”
“Heh.”
Deira smiled lightly at the fat ponytail that was barely hanging from my shoulder.
“Yuren. Can you come with me after you finish eating? The Warchief said he would like to speak with Yuren.”
“Am I alone?”
“yes.”
“All right.”
I went into the inn, got dressed, and followed Deira. However, Deira’s steps were not towards Eluna’s inside, but towards the outside.
“Isn’t this the way to the outside?”
“you’re right. The Warchief is waiting over here.”
Deira nodded slightly as if it was nothing and walked forward again.
Are you going there right away?
Deira’s destination is not an ordinary place. A place that even the elves living in Eluna cannot go to. This is the place where the world tree has its roots.
“Buck.”
I followed Deira without saying a word, and I only turned my head and looked around, probably because my body was heavy.
After moving along Deira for a while, I saw a trapezoid-shaped transparent door, next to which Arcia and Rodien were standing side by side.
“Did you have a good sleep?”
Arcia greeted me first with a sun-like smile. Whether it was because he took good care of his daughter or because he invited her as a guest, he was polite enough to be burdensome compared to his position.
“Thanks to you, I slept comfortably. thank you.”
“I thought you didn’t sleep?”
“yes?”
“Whoops.”
As expected, the high elves’ senses…
Arcia seemed to know that I practiced without sleeping. Well, the high elves are more sensitive to mana than anyone else, so it would be more strange not to know.
“mom. What do you mean?”
At Rodien’s question, Arcia only laughed, not answering.
“Yuren.”
“yes.”
“Excuse me, but could you show me the mirror you said you saved from the dungeon?”
