Green Skin

“We are not imprisoned and detained by the Eastern Elves. ”

It was Elisha who opened her mouth the first time. A pretty clear and unsuspecting voice, I seemed to have grown mentally quite a lot since the last time, but I had no choice but to realize that I was wrong.

I feel like I have a lot of attention to myself in a short time. Among them, Elisha, queen of the kingdom of Everruz, slowly opens her mouth.

“You're late for your introduction because of the commotion. Queen Elisha of the Everruz Kingdom, on the Eastern Continent. ”

Everyone nods. Before entering the conference room, you heard about yourself, but I was curious about the faces of those who looked at the queen of the elves who had only heard the words. Elves on the Eastern Continent were living very quietly, but they weren't completely invisible from this continent.

I have been quite enthusiastic in fields such as managers, translators, translators, and psychotherapy consultations in the Free Economic Area since I received the Adventurer Guild.

Some say the Elves actually belong to Greenskins, but some say they know that they are building a small kingdom on the Eastern Continent.

“I've heard a lot about you. Queen Elisha.”

“It's an honor.”

Immediately after the gray queen bowed her head in gratitude, she heard her voice again.

“If you don't mind me asking, could you tell me what's going on? ”

“Of course. That's why I'm here. ”

I'm quite curious. Actually, I didn't come to talk to Elisha alone. I thought Elisha would know that the kingdom of Everruz is an independent kingdom, not a member of the Brotherly Land, but rather an independent one with free will.

“Our kingdom has long been ruled by humans. Unlike the current situation, it was the Japanese who imprisoned us and enslaved us. ”

“Slaves...”

“I'm ashamed, but you're probably right. ”

Elisha's words are starting to produce people who are silent. In fact, I've never told you a detailed story before, so it's a natural reaction.

“I was the third princess of the kingdom of Everuz at the time, and I accidentally made it to this continent at the expense of my sisters, my mother, and my former queen. After that, I met the current chief. ”

“Hmmm...”

“I asked Lord Blood Dagger, who was a chieftain in my brother's lands at the time, for help in the territory of our Elves. Blood Dagger, the chief of Greenskin, entered the Eastern Continent in less than a year, and the position of the Elves and humans had completely changed. ”

I was the one who asked for the territory first, but I raised my mouth slightly when I saw you speak as if you asked for it first. Those who knew the truth nodded, but those who did not know the truth were looking at me with a slightly strange look.

From their point of view, I looked like I had no blood or tears, so it's not hard to doubt that I saved the Elves. It was understandable that they would not have gone into the Eastern Continent and done such things if they didn't have anything to gain.

“Really...”

“Yes. What I'm about to say is the truth without a single lie. ”

“Thought there might be a story to it...”

“I never thought that would happen...”

Elisha speaks again after the noise gets a little louder.

“Not only that, but he allowed our elves to live in their previous territory, and he also helped them to migrate to other places that they didn't want to live in. I am personally very grateful to Blood Dagger. ”

It's not just scorpions who try to score points or put gold on their faces. I glanced slightly at Elisha's camp, and many of the elves in place were staring at me with gleaming eyes.

From this point of view, I did not expect that I would receive such a gaze in favor. I don't feel so bad. When I nod quietly, I hear my voice again.

“May I ask you a few more questions? ”

“Of course.”

“I need you to tell me exactly where the Western Union is telling the truth and where it's wrong. ”

“Yes.”

[It was a mistake to bring that child.]

Suddenly, there was a communication from Jang Ye-ri. Of course I can understand what you mean. They are passing on to Elisha the difficult question to ask me and Jangryeol. I don't know, but I thought it would be Elisha who would be asked the most questions here today.

[I only brought him because I wanted to leave myself. Elves are part of the continent now, so qualifying is enough.]

[I can't deny it.]

Elves are like a bridge between humans and Greenskins that are not communicating with each other on the current continent. Despite the growing trend of human beings who can use translation magic, the Elves have made quite a presence on the continent.

I wondered what the answer to the question would be. Elisha slowly opens her mouth.

“In the basement of the Eastern Continent, there are people who live in what you might call Japanese. It's a city that doesn't have a single point of light. It's a no-frills suburb. They live off the rubbish that the elves on the ground eat, and that's not enough to kill each other and eat each other. ”

“............... ”

“Drinkable drinking water is contaminated and requires reliance on wizards who have residual magical power to bathe their bodies. The climate is thin, the days are hot and the days are cold. There are all kinds of magic circuits that are broken, even half disabled. Humans without an arm or a leg can be found very easily, and humans without vision and hearing can also be found often. All they do all day is look up hard to find horses or look up at the sky all day and see what's happening on the ground. People who don't like it are caught and killed and forced to participate in various magical experiments. That's the human ecology underneath the Eastern Continent. ”

Elisha smiles slightly. I don't know, but some thought it would be creepy. It was because Elisha's smile seemed quite pure.

The child was lightly silent. I came out so boldly that I had nothing to say. The faces of some northern humans, of course, are crumpled up.

“Well, that's what I'm talking about...”

“Yes, it is. ”

“We're not playing horses here. Queen Elisha, what you're doing...”

“That's what they did to us. They ripped us apart and raped us just because they didn't like it. They cut off their arms, their legs, their necks, and they laughed and chatted and made them eat their own feces. The women who entered the soldiers' homes couldn't even wash themselves. They died from all sorts of strange things. I ordered the mother to kill her child, and the mother who refused to do so was burned with the child. They forced each other to fight, and enjoyed watching, because they didn't like the way they raped and looked at women in front of their husbands. ”

“Hmmm...”

“That's...”

“If the Greenskins hadn't crossed over to the Eastern Continent, the Elves would be underground by now, not humans. ”

There's no way I can say anything else after what Elisha just said. Although I am avenging myself on behalf of them, the people living in the basement of the Eastern Continent are not so different from the previous Elves. If we think that our emotions were completely castrated, we might be better off now.

I'm just returning what was done to me. It's not a very strange story for me. Some were swallowing their saliva and some were looking at Elisha as if they were bored. What stood out was the Knight Kang Chang-hoon of the North.

I nodded my head with a very satisfied expression. Then I remember what I said before.

‘I overheard that he is the descendant of an independent activist. He didn't come out of nowhere. ’

I felt like I knew something about that face.

When I thought there were no easy people to talk to, he slowly opened his mouth when he first threw a ridiculous word at me.

“Of course, the mind understands. ”

“I'm glad you noticed. ”

“It is only natural that if you have committed a sin, you will be punished for that sin. But... I wonder if they need to be judged so inhumanely. We're not trying to defend them or protect them because they're the same person. ”

“Then I wonder what you're talking about. ”

“We should give the sinner one more chance. These are thinking people. I don't know if Elisha can accept my story, but it's not the right way for civilizations to think that one mistake should make them feel less like animals. ”

The roughest summary is that criminals also have human rights. I don't know if there are people who empathize, but unfortunately, I can't empathize with that way of thinking. It seems that the elves in front of it are the same. Elisha began to stare at him as if he were a madman.

“I don't understand. Are you saying there's a reason to treat non-human animals as people? Human mindset is very comfortable. After tearing an innocent man to pieces, there's still room. ”

I'm surprised Elisha, who was an Elf, said that. It means that she was influenced that much.

“That's not what I meant. Oh my... I don't know how to explain...”

“Of course I know what you're talking about. I understand what you're saying about human rights. But I don't understand why you're trying to convince me. ”

“That's...”

“If you want to take their human rights, you can. They have not sinned against you. They have sinned against our Elves and the Elves are punishing them in our way. ”

“Innocent people must be mixed up. Some will suffer heavy punishment for their sins. ”

“Innocence was the same for our elves. I don't know why you're more interested in the victim than the perpetrator, but I can't understand what you're saying in any way. You will judge us in your own way, those who have sinned in our own way. ”

“That's what makes war happen. ”

“My elves are not progressive, but they don't avoid the coming battle. And I will never back down from the fight against those who have no cause like the West. We are friends, but we have not asked the warriors of the North for help. We take responsibility for our actions. ”

There's no way I can say this. Elisha confidently pours out her thoughts and stories and argues with some humans. Funny how things turn out. I started to look at the nameless one.

Because I felt like I knew what he wanted.
