Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"My name is Crane. My sister has told me in a letter that she is always looking after me.It's good to see you. "

That's what Crane said and smiled and bowed.Auria's parents have introduced themselves together.

As for Auria's parents - both of them, of course, look a little older than Crane.My father's beard is shaved and perforated... but the difference in the age of the elves is difficult, so it is not convincing even if he is said to be a brother or sister.

Does my mother feel like Auria and Crane, so she has an extra sense of sisterhood?

"Nice to meet you, too.This is the one the Guild Leader usually takes care of. "

"Welcome a long way."

"Please take your time.The spirits... seem to be very happy and welcoming. "

When I said so, the settlement elves smiled and welcomed me warmly.

"Really. The Boundary Lord seems to be under the protection of a very great spirit."

They were thinning elves.I have Thierry and the others to protect.

Greet each other again with those who accompanied him and were the lords of the settlement.

We're staying here all day and leaving for Einfeus again tomorrow.

"There are a lot of people, but the stay itself is also on the Sirius.It's a sudden visit, and I'll make sure it's not too much of a burden for you. "

"Hmm. I have a lot of children, and you're more comfortable as Lord Frontier.We'd like to welcome you, so we'd like to have a banquet. "

The head of the settlement said to me. [M]

"So, how about bringing each other's ingredients to cook and having a banquet at dinner?"

"Oh, that's good."

In that case, the consumption of ingredients can be suppressed, and by enjoying each other's cooking, it can also be exchanged.I'm sure the banquet will be cheerful as I bring the instruments with me for camping.

So, from the beginning, I have prepared ingredients to suit the size of Auria's hometown.That's more than just a sudden visit.

That's why I have plans during my stay.

"I haven't seen you guys in a while, and I'm thinking about staying at my parents' house tonight."

"It's a good thing your family's not in the water."

Albert also nods well in front of his mother and family.

Anyway, it seems good to prepare dinner while interacting with the elves.

"I bring ingredients so I can handle everything, so I can combine my offerings."

"Now... let's take a look at the stockpile and decide."

By pointing out the ingredients and deciding on tonight's offering, the conversation is also wrapped up by the fact that we will continue cooking while being guided inside the settlement.

"Well, if you don't mind, I'll take the lead.I'm also involved in the management of the vault. "

Crane smiled and said with her hands around her chest.The hunters of the settlement also offered to use the prey they had hunted.

"Thank you, thank you"

"Thank you....!"

When the children of the clan united their voices and said thank you to Calcedonnay, Citria and Yui, Crane nodded with a smile.

That's why Crane led the interior of the settlement joyfully with Auria.

The house that the residents of the settlement also use for gatherings and the square facing it.Village chief's house and Auria's family home.Aulia's living house is so beautiful that it has an atmosphere that seems like a fairy tale.It would be satisfactory if they told me that Aulia lived close to the fairy.

There are also vegetable gardens, orchards, and flower fields in and around the settlement.

The fruit, vegetables, and medicinal herbs that can be harvested here will be quite expensive to bring to the city.There are many spirits gathered in places with elves, and if spirits' movements are active, nature's blessings will improve both quality and quantity.

They also process medicinal herbs and make ointments, powders and pills.Basically, it's not a kind of magic medicine, but there are a lot of things useful for life, such as wound treatment and pain relief, antipyretics, etc.

"Elf's medicine has a good reputation for its high potency.I wonder if it's because the materials are heavily powered by spirits. "

Crane replies when Rosemary says so and shows interest.

"We also take care of the plants we grow.The spirits are so happy that they can reconcile... it's been going on for a long time, so I don't feel like I'm doing something so special. "

and. In fact, spirits may be active with these elves.Spirits sat on thatched roofs and waved their hands at us, and let their faces peek from the shadows of the building. The elf settlement was lively and bright, including the spirits.

When I borrowed a lantern from Mallane to visualize the situation, the spirits were delighted with the children of the clan.They waved at each other and looked excited.Elf children are also interested in such a happy sight.

It's not like we can play together because we're still on the way, but it's an atmosphere where we can get along during our stay.

Younger children can see the elf children showing interest, and they are slightly distracted.Adults and older children like Zandrius and Ryudmila look at it and smile.

Calcedonnay, Citria, and Yui are smiling when they see that.Because the spirits seem happy and the environment is magical, Olivia and Grace are in a good mood.

Let them guide the settlement in such a gentle atmosphere.Elf settlements are nothing special.Although there are many spirits, it is certainly different from a base such as a human village, but it is basically an atmosphere such as a long and quiet village.

"Well, the villages of the kingdom are no different than the villages of the Elves.It has a long history with the Kingdom of Verdogar, so there are parts that are mutually influenced. "

Auria explains.Either way, I feel that the liveliness of the spirits and the abundance of the surrounding forests are unique to the elf settlement.

It is a life that utilizes the grace of the forest, and sometimes the elves say that it is entirely left to nature to "disequilibrium".It is the wisdom of the elves, and perhaps the cultural part, that allows the forest to be peaceful and to maintain its resources.

I have heard from elves that this area is not limited to the Verdogal kingdom as it involves Jiyama, flood control, and forestry.

Crane laughs and explains the wisdom of these elves.

"Rather than our wisdom, it is the result of our relationship with the spirits.Because I see the various spirits so that harmony and equilibrium do not break down, and I deal with the forest.The same is true for hunting, gathering and cultivation. "

"I see...."

It's an interesting story.It makes sense that if the balance of spirits is maintained, the environment is also maintained.If the area collapses, a disaster will happen.It is a natural consequence for nature and spirits, but it is a literal disaster for those who live around them.

And... if the evil spirit strengthens it, it can be called a disaster and cause damage.It would be reassuring to hear the voice of the Spirit from normal people and to stack it from small things.

So... while we were being guided, we circled the settlement and came to Crane's managed reservoir.
