“It's a trail.”

The atmosphere was stiffened by the words of the enemy. As he blinked and looked at the enemy, Azin glanced at his side. You saw Persian. Persian eyes meet Ajin, his head tilting and shrugging. Azin looks at the Raw Snow scent. She lived in the Moorish and lived on the island of the beginning, and there was no way to know about her footsteps. She frowns as she looks at the pain with a dark face.

“... footsteps? ”

“Yes. It's a kick. ”

The enemy speaks in a cheerful voice. At the words of the enemy, he clears his throat low. It's not that I don't know what a trailer is. What comes to mind is also a classic fantasy film that was released decades ago. I've seen a footstep, even if it's not. A magical 'era in the Middle Ages, during a single game that was released before First.’ From there, footsteps appear as boss monsters in underground dungeons.

It's a muscle burst. The face of a hideous and frightened demon. A crooked sheep's horn. The stench of sulphur, the spark that lifts the body. Whip... Like the boss of a dungeon, he was a monster of the highest class, and the first three parties he threw to attack him were the Knights. And extinction.

“... didn't you say she was the queen? ”

Azin asked, clearing his throat low. I don't know if it was a woman... or a female who appeared in the age of magic. It's like his voice was a man, and his muscles were too...

“Yes, she is. ”

The enemy took him for granted.

“A queen with a deadly beauty. Every tribe in the Black Forest has a constant cycle of finding the Queen's place and getting to know her. I've been there a few times myself. All the tribes bow down before the Queen's place, and the Queen receives their reverence. ”

“Are you offering tribute? Like a mountain sacrifice? ”

“No. I don't do product offerings. The Queen is conceptual. She, uh... takes our admiration. The fear and respect we have for her... all it takes is to strengthen her power. That's why all the tribes go to her place regularly and lie down. ”

The enemy kicks his tongue small.

“That's why the queen was a tyrant and a saint. She's conceptual and desirable, depending on our perceptions. Simply by her impulse, there were countless tribes that perished and were wiped out by her people. ”

The muttering enemy shakes his head.

“You're leaking your horse into a strange place. Either way, the queen is very beautiful. Black hair that twitches like black flames. And a horn that soared high. Her pale skin and crimson eyes... When she walked, all the trees in the black forest trembled, and the darkness of the dark forest that did not take in the sunlight danced to the gestures of her hands and became her clothes. ”

Apparently, the Black Forest Foot Queen had a different look than the one that Azin knew.

“.. are you strong? ”

Azin quietly asked. It would be a shame if they were as strong as the footsteps of the Magic Age. The trail that appeared there was strong enough to be directly underneath the Demon King's final boss in the story of the Magic Age.

“Strong.”

He said as if there was nothing to think about.

“I didn't tell you. She's conceptual. A queen who terrorizes the Black Forest, where all kinds of monsters roam. All the monsters there fear and revere her. Can you imagine? Rich created by the ultimate wizard who refuses to die. Death Knight is revived by dark magic. A thirsty Durahan who refused to die in vengeance. A vampire called the nobility of the night. Lycanslope, the Vampire's Enemy. Black monsters and horses, not banshees, zombies, skeletons... including the undead. Verdinger Selgerounia, the queen of the black forest, is one of the most feared of all the monsters. ”

The enemy breathes out loud.

“For a long time there has been a Black Forest, the Queen has been feared by such monsters. She's been the strongest in the Black Forest ever since she existed, and stronger with their fear and awe. No one in the Black Forest can kill the Queen. Not all of the Black Forest can kill the Queen. ”

The enemy pauses.

“It's the story of a childhood angel. At the time, among the Lycanslopes in the Black Forest, there was a Lycan slope called Silver Mother, leading the Red Mane tribe. At the time, he was the strongest of all the Lycan slopes in the Black Forest, and the Red Mane tribe he led was as strong as any of the Undead vs. the rest. Do you know anything about Lycanslope? They're very tricky creatures. Most Lycan slopes have a miraculous recovery power that even the deadliest of all, and by the night of the full moon they become almost immortal, their power is several times stronger. At that time, Silver Mother was strong enough to rank fifth among all the monsters in the Black Forest except the Queen. ”

The enemy laughs low.

“Silver Mother believed in her power... and was intoxicated by her belief. The day the Red Mane tribe found out about the Queen, he believed in her power and disrespected her. There was only the Queen, and there were all the Red Manes, including the Silver Mother. You thought it was worth a try. Even if she is conceptual, there is death. If all of the Red Manes want to kill the Queen, they can. Well, that's what you think. ”

“.. what disrespect have you committed? ”

“I didn't bow my head. ”

The enemy said in a bold voice.

“The queen lives in Lake Stix, in the middle of the Black Forest. While the queen rising from there treads on the surface of the lake... all the tribes who know her bow and greet her. But silver thumb and the Red Mane tribe didn't. I didn't bend my head, I didn't bend my knee. They saw her coming.”

Azin swallows a gulp.

“They're all dead. ”

The enemy said as if it were natural.

“.. Yes? ”

“They're all dead. There was no battle. The Black Forest was not shaken, nor did I hear the cry of a silver mother. But the next day. Every pale snow tribe who came to know the Queen had to come back with their tongues in their chests and their heads in their arms. It was a burnt throat and a cut. Everyone, screaming and resisting. She was strangled by the Queen's whip and died. ”

The enemy speaks in a quiet voice. Ajin felt the sweat on his hands. The Lycan Slope he saw was only the Ware Wolf Valkun guarding the lake on the island of its beginnings. At the time, Valkun looked very strong, but his current pain is not that difficult to kill.

“... if you compare the silver mother to the rouge...”

“Can you compare? I've never met a Silver Mother, but even if I was a Heavenly Mother ten years ago, I wouldn't be able to stand out if I went back to the Black Forest. It's the same as Death Knights. ”

The enemy laughs low.

“That's what Verdinger Selgernia is, Queen. The inhabitants of Gracia should be thankful that she does not leave the Black Forest. Not even a dragon of the highest race can kill the Queen of the Black Forest. In fact, dragons don't cross the sky in the Black Forest. Before the heavenly woman was born, a young dragon flying over the Black Forest was strangled and killed on the Queen's whip. Then came the elders of the clan that belonged to the dragon... The elder did not die, and the dragon did not fly in the sky in the Black Forest. ”

“... what a legend. ”

Persian mutters. The enemy nods at her.

“Yes, a legend. That's what she is. The Black Forest is the Queen's palace, and all the Knights of the Dead are her knights. All of Rich is the queen's court wizard, and Banshee is the maid, Ghoul and Zombie is the queen's soldier. Vampires are as noble as her kingdom. Well, not exactly a nobleman. We don't have the power. ”

Seeing the smiling enemies, Ajin's head got complicated. If there is no exaggeration in the words of the enemy, then Verdinger Selgerunia, the Queen of the Black Forest, is a ridiculous monster. A dragon traveling with Rivera, perhaps more monstrous than Basrodel... Perhaps more powerful than Raw Snow.

And she is dealing with such a queen. When Acacia heard about the Queen of the Black Forest, she didn't think much of it, but she felt a different weight coming from the enemy. She is the head of the Black Wizard's Guild, a disciple of Hiddenpiece, and even deals with the Queen of the Black Forest. The closest thing you'll get to winning the game right now is Harvest.

“... has the Queen of the Black Forest ever left the forest?" ”

“None.”

“... have any humans ever entered the Black Forest? ”

“It's not gone. But I know very few humans have come in and gone out. Humans that come in... become vampires... ghouls... zombies... Lycan slopes. He was human when he came in, but at some point he became an extraterrestrial being, so he couldn't get out of the forest if he wanted to. If you go out there, you'll be hunted. ”

“Have the Punitive Force ever come against the Black Forest? ”

“There was a long time ago. But think. Who will come to the Undead and to the realm of monsters to wage war? A human army can never defeat an undead army. Dead humans become undead and enemies. Allies are constantly shrinking and enemies are constantly expanding. Do you think it's possible to win? ”

My head hurts. I've been keeping an eye on Harvest, but not like this.

“... but why do you ask about the Black Forest? I said I was going to Gracia... But you want to conquer the Black Forest? ”

“I've been thinking. ”

“Then give up. The bloodstream is the best, no. Even if you become the best, you won't be able to do anything about the Black Forest. I don't know if it's a bloodbath. Maybe the Queen of the Black Forest will like it and make it Death Knight herself. ”

The enemy laughs low. The black snow scent gives me a black face, and I look at the red feeling and look at the pain.

“I'd like to take a look. ”

The scent of Raw Snow mutters with arms crossed.

“Stronger than a dragon," you said. I want to see what he looks like. ”

“The queen doesn't know what she wants. ”

The enemy receives a horse.

“To invade the Black Forest and reach the Queen's place, you must cross many realms and tribes within her realm. We must go beyond them all to the Queen's quarters. The queen rarely leaves the vicinity of Lake Stix. ”

“Then we'll have to break through all of them. ”

He said that the smell of Raw Snow should not be difficult, and the enemy did not respond to him.

“Thank you for letting me know. ”

Azin takes a swift sip of wine he hasn't had yet. It's a good wine, but I didn't really know the taste. Azin steals his lips and rises to his feet.

“I'll have to think about it a little more. I didn't know there was a queen... But I found out thanks to her. ”

“There's no need to thank me. I just... I just hope that the Goddess doesn't think that bloodstains are stupid. ”

“What do you mean, stupid idea? ”

“Against the Queen of the Black Forest. ”

The red wine took the slow-shaking wine to his lips.

“If so. The bloodstain will lose everything and die. ”

The wine disappeared into her lips.
