1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 2 Episode 15

15. Lencia Greenwood (2)

Lencia’s expression brightened as she turned her head to her familiar voice she had not heard in a long time.

She is a very precious relationship that I haven’t seen in a long time.

Rencia knew right away that the girl was the Spirit King Sylphid.

Because she had only met her once when she was young.

“Sylphid?”

“Why didn’t you come to the coming-of-age ceremony? You promised me!”

Lencia and Sylphid, whom she met by chance when she was not yet twenty, had promised each other a contract at a coming-of-age ceremony.

Believing that promise, Sylphid said she waited until she was old enough for Rencia to attend her coming-of-age ceremony, but this year when she would be 50, Rencia didn’t come to her coming-of-age ceremony.

Sylphid, feeling her dissatisfaction and anxiety at her, came directly into her forest to find her.

She said, “Oh, ah. Come to think of it, it’s already been too late. I’m sorry, as I was concentrating, she didn’t realize that the time had come.”

“Then is the promise still valid?”

“Of course. Once this is over, I will hold a coming-of-age ceremony and sign a contract with you.”

Sylphid smiled brightly at Lencia’s answer.

Sylphid wanted to sign a contract with Rencia as soon as possible, so she helped her experiment.

She would procure materials from the forest together, or evacuate the smoke from the tree hole at once so that the next experiment could be carried out quickly.

“But, Sylphid. Don’t you hate me like this?”

“Huh? What?”

“I am a being that gnaws at nature. Don’t you hate me for doing such an unforgivable thing…?”

“Anything?”

Sylphid said with a smirk.

“There is one thing the elves are mistaken about, but collecting herbs and cutting live trees and using them as materials does not have any adverse effects on nature. Esau’s actions are conducive to the natural cycle.”

“Is that so?”

“If a tree’s branches are dense and the leaves are thick enough that sunlight can’t get through, all the grass beneath it will die. Proper pruning is necessary. I do that too.”

But why don’t the elves accept that fact?

“It’s that we can’t ignore the stereotypes that have been entrenched. It’s been less than 1000 years since the elves and the spirits began to coexist.”

With Sylphid’s help, the cycle of the experiment was accelerated.

However, not even a shadow could be seen from Eve’s tears.

The cool night breeze gently stroked the cheeks of Rencia, who went out for a night walk to tidy her hair.

“Huh, I feel like my head is clearing up a bit.”

“Can you make the wind stronger?””Ugh, this seems a bit harsh…”

Lencia, who was walking through the forest while chatting with Sylphid, felt a strange aura.

An ominous aura she had never felt before.

Lencia and Sylphid ran to the place where the ominous energy was felt.

The two covered their noses at the stench that got worse as they got closer.

Perhaps because it was the spirit of the wind, Sylphid looked several times more distressed than Rencia.

There was a lump of something about 1.5m in size.

Her pale blue and black skin was melting like candle wax.

The grass and tree roots that touched the skin that had melted and fell to the ground were discolored black.

There were holes in various parts of the body, and when they shriveled up, turbid poison spurted out.

He was a guy who couldn’t even say he was good with empty words.

“Ugh…! What is this?”

“Oh my God, that’s a slime!”

Shortly after the demons disappeared from the ground, traces of them still remained on the continent.

It was a time when the monsters polluted by the demons using their own magic also escaped and some of the hidden ones still remained on the continent.

The traces eventually flowed into the forest of the elves.

Lencia instinctively reached out her hand behind her own back, looking for her arrow and bow.

But there was no way she could have had an arrow and a bow on her back when she had gone out for a night walk.

She wanted to go back to get her bow and arrows, but her slime, in her eerie form, who had already found her, had no intention of letting her go.

Doo doo doo doo-.

From her body of her slime, her chunks of her poison were shot at her in a chain.

Every time she evaded, the trees and grass that had been slaughtered in her venomous shards immediately turned black and blue.

Seeing it, Rencia clenched her teeth and realized a bow and arrow using her magical powers.

Although it has stronger power than normal bows and arrows, MP consumption was extreme while maintaining it.

So it was not a method I used often, but now there was no other way than this.

Before she ran out of her own MP, she had to build her up.

“Sylphid! Build a wall that won’t hurt!”

“okay!”

When Sylphid teased her arm, a round wall of sharp winds was created that locked Rencia and her slime inside.

The poison nuggets fired by the slime could not penetrate the wind wall.

Lencia pulled her bowstring quickly and accurately and fired an arrow at her slime.

Her magical arrows shot by Lencia increased from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight, and from eight to sixteen.

At the end, arrows of magical power that easily passed a hundred were created, and they all exploded after hitting the slime.

Fortunately, the slime turned into a light and disappeared after a while.

However, the already polluted ground and trees could not be found, and the arm that had been touched by a small piece of poison just once had turned blue.

For some reason, the wind felt a little chilly.

“Lencia, are you okay?”

“…It’s a little chilly, but for now, I think it’s fine.”

“Still… Medicine for mother is good, but can’t we make medicine for ourselves first? If Rencia dies, it will all be useless. That’s why…”

“Fufu, I’ll do that.”

After stroking her weeping Sylphid’s head, Lencia took small pieces of grass and wood that had turned black and blue and brought them into the tree hole.

Restoring the forest once it has been polluted is the first, she thought.

And if she could come up with a medicine that could cure the forest, she would be able to heal herself too.

Sorry to her mother, but Rencia put her research for Elysia aside for a while, so she started making a medicine to reverse the dark and blue forest.

This time, unlike Eve’s tears, a clear result came out within a week.

She and she, by chance, were able to even complete a medicine for her mother based on the medicine she had made to restore the forest.

Although it wasn’t her Eve’s tears… Still, she could assure Lencia that she would be able to roam outside her like she used to when she was a child.

She named the drug ‘Elf Tears’.

Checking if there were elf tears for Elysia in her bag tied around her waist, Lencia, along with her Sylphid, headed towards the village with a light footstep.

“If only my mother tells me it’s okay, will she have a coming-of-age ceremony right away?”

“okay.”

As the entrance of the village entered Rencia’s field of vision, Rencia entered the field of vision of the elves in the village.

The elves who found Rencia first because they were closest to the entrance went straight into the village and reported that Rencia had arrived.

When she heard that Lencia had returned, the elves all ran into their house and locked the door.

“what……?”

Lencia was slightly perplexed by the reaction of the elves she had seen for the first time, but she didn’t pay much attention to the thought of meeting Elysia and delivering her medicine, and she set her foot in the village.

at that time,

Chuck, chuck, chuck.

Through the trees and between the houses, the elves who could not reach Rencia, but who had her good bow skills, aimed her bow at Rencia.

Their eyes were full of anger.

As Rencia stood still at their unexplained actions, Warin stepped out in front of Rencia.

His skin had turned blue and black in spots.

She then looked around her and realized that most of those who had bows at her looked exactly like Warin.

No, it was all the elves who entered the house and looked out carefully through the window.

And Lencia knew what it was and what the cause was.

Because the same thing happened to me.”that…….”

“Lencia Greenwood!”

Lencia tried to bring her story about it, but Warin interrupted her and glared at her.

“I’m kicking you out of town!”

* * *

“No! You can’t go in! Elves don’t even have privacy!”

“Elysia, it’s just a formal investigation.”

“Even if it’s formal, it shouldn’t be…! Cool! Cool!”

“I told you not to talk too loud like that!”

In the village of the elves, an investigation into the cause of the disease that is now prevalent in the village began.

Of course, the scope of the investigation also included individual houses, and Elysia’s house and Rencia’s room were no exceptions.

The elves assigned to her investigation team came to Elysia’s house to investigate her, but she led her ailing body and blocked them in front of her house.

Because there were things in the house that they couldn’t see.

She desperately stopped them, but she was unable to stop them, as she had been weak from the beginning and had a disease that turned her skin blue and black.

She was now unable to stand for long, and bleeding was occurring more frequently than before.

One of her helped Elysia, who fell to her floor, vomiting her blood, while the other elves passed her and entered her house.

It was a very ordinary and ordinary elf’s house.

Still, they had to investigate, so they looked around the house.

It’s an ordinary house, there’s nothing strange about it, but when you open the door of a room, the expression and actions of the elf who opened the door instantly hardened.

It was Lencia’s room.

“Hey, why are you doing this…! This, this!”

In the end, Rencia’s room full of papers was discovered by the elves.

Harming nature, using paper-like objects made by harming nature, was an act close to taboo for the elves.

This incident immediately reached the ears of all the elves in the village.

“No way! The best warrior can’t do that!”

“But there aren’t only one or two elves I’ve seen. The village chief said that the papers in Rencia’s room were taken away.”

“Oh my God… how could Lencia do such a thing…”

“Did you guys hear that? The things written on the paper were recipes for alchemy.”

“Alchemy? What is it?”

“It’s the magic of humans who create new things using nature as a material.”

“Did Rencia do that?”
