21 – Forest of Elves (2)

“Is this all?”

In the shower of arrows.

I stepped forward with a calm face.

“Stop!”

“I can’t go past this!”

Dozens of elves stood in the way, holding swords.

“Get out of the way. It gets in the way.”

I grabbed an elf by the throat and beat him.

At the same time, a sword flies toward my head.

When I head-butted it as if I were heading, the blade broke into two pieces.

“—!”

“You man! Physical attacks don’t work! Summon the spirits, everyone!”

Like the elves, their heads are spinning, and they change their attack method while reorganizing their battle lines.

I crossed my arms as if asking me to do something.

“Wind spirit, the guardians of Solia Forest earnestly wish. Help us!”

“Guardians of the forest, spirits of the old world, come to us. Protect our forest and bless it!”

The elves stretched out their hands and began to summon the spirits.

Blue light flashed one after another, and then a magic circle appeared in the air and disappeared.

Soon after, the cute-looking spirits appeared like fireworks.

“Nymph! Tie that guy’s feet!”

“Sylphid, attack!”

The vines on the floor follow me in curves like snakes.

I was thinking of using maximization, but I suddenly had an idea.

‘Will something like this work?’

– Whirling!

Vines wrap around me at high speed.

I watched it with an interesting face.

Not long after, when my body completely wrapped around the vine.

He nodded as if he understood.

‘… It works.’

It seemed that defensive power only blocked attacks that threatened my body.

Bondage is an act of binding something forcibly, not an act that damages the body.

Then I heard one more question here.

What would happen if you were naked in the flesh-piercing cold like a snowy mountain in the cold?

When a person’s body temperature drops, he dies.

Then, will the weather be applied as an act that poses a threat to my body, and a defense mechanism will be exerted?

It was when I was lost in thought.

The bladed wind tore through the vines, crashing into my body and dissipating.

‘I can slowly test this later.’

It was not a question that would give an answer just by thinking about it now.

As for the standard of defense, I’ll have to take time to think about it later.

Having become free, I turned around and moved forward again.

“—!”

“The attack doesn’t work….”

“… What the hell is that human?”

Elves look confused and prepare to attack again.

‘I tried to act in a gentlemanly way.’

If you treat me so badly, I just can’t get over it.

“Seina!”

I looked at Seina behind me.

Did she even notice my intentions, she slowly walks forward.

“Don’t kill them, just train them in moderation.”

“Leave it to me.”

With my words, Seina’s new model disappeared.

At the same time, the elf’s body floats in the air.

‘Leave that to Seina.’

“Wow, werewolf?”

“Why are werewolves like humans… !”

“Is it time to open your eyes?”

I used maximization and rushed at the guys in front of me in an instant.

I hit the elf’s face with my fist as hard as I could.

“Queue!”

With a scream, he crashes into a tree.

“Do elves greet guests like this?”

“Do you think your intruder has the right to say that?! Sylph!”

A slashing wind blows through trees, drawing a half moon.

“It is useless.”

Without avoiding it, I grabbed the female elf in front of me by the neck and raised her fist.

A female elf who closes her eyes tightly.

‘… ….’

Looking at it up close, it was pretty.

But what?

-f*ck!

Equality between men and women.

The female elf drooped with one punch.

I looked at the remaining elves after slashing them on the floor.

“… A human bastard!”

“You are the devil-!”

They were looking at me with frightened faces.

However, like the proud elves, they don’t seem to have any intention of backing down.

I sighed and opened my mouth.

“Stop meaningless fights. I’m just here to talk to the chieftain.”

“How can you believe that?”

“All humans are dark inside. Do you know how not to know your insides!”

‘Anyway….’

I clicked my tongue.

Even if the elves didn’t trust humans, they didn’t trust them too much.

Well, in a way, it’s natural.

Because they have lived for hundreds of years and witnessed with their own eyes the ugliness of human beings.

It couldn’t have been better.

‘Should I at least reveal my identity?’

It was a time when I was seriously thinking about it.

“Everyone, stop there.”

A clear voice drew everyone’s attention.

“Joe, Chief? Why did you come here… !”

“It’s dangerous-! It’s good that you’re hiding.”

“They said they came looking for me, so I’ll talk to them myself. Everyone back off.”

They make their way one by one.

A woman with a distinctly different feel from the other elves slowly appears.

‘Finally, I see you.’

Elves, like humans, had a high status called nobility.

Such beings are called ‘high elves’.

Among them, the most pure and noble woman.

It was Titania.

“Are you the chief of this forest?”

“Yes. You said you wanted to talk to me. I’ll give you time, so please refrain from fussing any further than this.”

Her lake-like eyes stick to me.

I opened my mouth as if I had waited.

“Yes.”

**

“Why did you say you wanted to see me?”

From noble mtl dot com

Seina and I moved to the cabin Titania had guided us to.

I said, reaching for the teacup in front of me.

“Floren.”

“… !”

“They say her whereabouts are unknown.”

One of Titania’s eyebrows went up at my words.

“What does that have to do with you?”

“I will help you.”

For a moment, Titania’s expression was taken aback, as if this was an unexpected statement.

“Why?”

“I also have her business.”

“Don’t be presumptuous. Human-!”

When one of the escort elves who was watching quietly beside her shouted, she raised her hand as if it was okay and stopped her.

“Are you trying to dream of eternal life like other humans? Or do you want to get a lot of gold?”

It was a somewhat thorny tone.

I shook my head and answered quietly.

“Neither of them.”

“At first, everyone said no. But as time goes by, I try to use Floren.”

It was a tone that seemed to have a story behind it.

However, it may seem cold-hearted, but that is none of my business.

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. Isn’t finding Floren the most important thing?”

“Yes. But, I don’t need your help. Because we are already diligently looking for it.”

“It seems like an elf who hates humans is in a big hurry to ask for help from the Mage Tower. Am I wrong?”

“… ….”

“Tell me, what happened before Floren disappeared?”

Titania exhaled and began to speak.

“Floren was originally researching eternal life in the Magic Tower. Then, as a change of pace, she returned to the forest and began her studies.”

It was a fact that I didn’t know.

In the game, she was an NPC in the Elf Village in Solia Forest.

I didn’t know there were such fine details.

“And the day after she returned to the forest. Floren has disappeared all of a sudden.”

“Hidden?”

“Yes, it has completely disappeared, as if it never existed. No one had searched the whole forest, and no one had even seen Floren.”

I thought while touching my chin.

‘This is really strange. Are there any demons who can use teleportation magic?’

I shook my head.

It is said that they are named demons enough to teleport, but they are not people who dare to commit such actions.

“Are there any traces of magic in the place where Floren was?”

“There wasn’t even one.”

Titania said firmly.

“I want to meet other elves.”

I can’t give up like this.

Since I walked all the way to Solia Forest, I had to go back with at least one clue.

“Elves do not welcome humans. So, you won’t get any other income. If you still want to see me, I’ll be happy to let you.”

She opened her mouth with a disapproving face. It was clear that she was actively cooperating, probably wanting to let me go quickly.

“Thank you.”

I jumped up from my seat.

**

‘Damn it.’

She walked through Solia Forest, brushing her hair.

I asked other elves, and I went to the research center in Floren, but I didn’t get much different results.

At this point, it really feels like she has disappeared somewhere.

‘Since I entered the game, did Floren escape?’

While imagining nonsense, I put her butt on a sunny spot.

“Gerard, you look disturbed.”

Seina looked at me with a worried face.

“It’s okay. It is nothing.”

“There must be a clue somewhere. Don’t be too discouraged.”

It was quite extraordinary.

It seems like yesterday that you brought it up from the slave market, but you are already comforting someone.

A peek laughs.

“There is no need to be afraid. You just have to empty your mind and be prepared to accept it.”

“It’s scary….”

Then, a sound came from somewhere.

When I turned my head, I saw a little elf and an adult elf putting their hands together.

“The spirits are our friends. Don’t be afraid to memorize the contract spell.”

“Really?”

“Then, I’ll be there to help.”

The little elf nods her head with her frightened face and opens her mouth.

“Spirits of the sacred Solia Forest, I want to be friends with you guys. Will you come to me?”

The little elf put his hands together and shouted, and the light flickered for a moment.

Lights of various colors began to twinkle around the boy.

“Wow! That’s Okay!”

“I told you. The spirits are our friends.”

I was watching the mysterious scene blankly, and I thought while touching my nose.

‘Let’s try it.’

“The spirit of Solia Forest. Let’s make a contract with me.”

Seina giggled from the side.

“Gerard, not everyone can make a spirit contract. It’s only possible if you have spirit affinity… “

She slurred her words with her mouth open.

He will too.

-Hoho, you are such an interesting person. I got interested. My name is Sylphid, the Spirit King. Human, let’s make a contract with me.

‘…… Will this work?’

Something unbelievable happened.
