I Said Make My Abilities Average!
436 Inside the Elf 2
"Okay, I'll be there!
"" "Oh!!
Lena and the others responding to Mavis' hanging voice, members of The Red Oath, and the snorting elves.
Keep carriages and horses with vendors in the city close to the inside, and have your men wait in this city.
… it is a delicious job as wages are paid properly even while waiting. Well, most of them will spend the majority of their wages in drinkers and playing fields......
And from here, we travel on foot.
The elves are all those who know the existence of the item box, which means that all of them are supposed to have the magic of storing miles, so all of this fortunately houses a lot of souvenirs bought by the elves without any regard for weight, volume or fragility.
Originally, the elves who live with nature in the woods do not have much cash income, and occasionally when they come out of the human city, they bring medicinal herbs, furs, etc. that can be sold at a good value to redeem them.
So they look forward to the souvenirs that those living in the human city take home on their occasional return home. I don't use carriages on my last itinerary, so I can't bring back too many souvenirs...
"Hehe, this time, we'll all be surprised..."
"Right. I bought a lot of alcohol and iron from humans that were too heavy to take home, so everyone would be happy."
He's in a good mood, and Shararil is answering Dr. Cooleyreia's words. I guess it's not that returning home is by no means a hassle and disgust thing, but it's also quite exciting.
And they missed this chance to use the mileage storage magic and cut some of the storage and bought a lot of souvenirs. Beyond the common sense of souvenirs that ordinary returnees take home, massive......
Of course, if you bring that back, the abnormality of miles of storage magic will be morose, but at the earliest, no one cared about that.
Soon after entering the woods, the narrow path that was there at the beginning became the beast path level, and even it was gone, to take the literal 'Road Without Road'.
It doesn't mean you're hiding a place inside, but you're deliberately making the road harder to understand or illusory that you're circling the same place when you go around, there are pointless branches, and sometimes you're disguised as if the road's gone to prevent unwelcome leftovers from coming.
((((no, that's enough 'hiding the place inside' then...)))
It was four of those "red vows" I think so, but the elf group insisted that it was only "hiding it".
What they said was that if they really wanted to hide it, they would set up fantasy junctions, flying bamboo spears and pitfalls.
"Of course, I'll poison the flying bamboo spears, and I'll plant the bamboo spears at the bottom of the pit."
"" ""... Scary!!
If humans set it up and stray neighborhood villagers and hunters hooked up or something, it's a big problem, but in the case of elves, it seemed fine.
Around here, although once part of a human country, it is essentially an elf-controlled area, because its autonomy is recognised. So what do you do with the intruder? Elf side freedom, it seems.
Because we are friendly with humans and have various treaties, it is just that we are solemn about such things, not that we should 'not do' or 'cannot'.
"So unless you have too much time, you're not taking anyone inside except the elves. Ma, we're together, so it's no problem this time. I have written permission in advance..."
Of course, the letters are guild fastened, and occasionally someone seems to go check. In Japan, it is like "lockdown".
"... Huh?
And, fitting in, the miles that made me look like that.
"Does that mean I don't usually take escorts?
…………
Aha, a pair of facial elves and a bunch of surprised facial Lennas you hadn't noticed before.
Yes, it would be too burdensome to spend many gold coins on escorts and carriages every time (every time) you return home.
Therefore, it was normal to return by carriage to the nearest city, from where we were the only ones ahead.
The escort to the city is hired by the owner of the passenger carriage.
Of course, the cost is reflected in the fare, but it is much cheaper if we prepare our own carriages and escorts.
... which means we don't usually tailor borrow carriages or hire our own escorts.
"Huh? What do you mean..."
It was a suspicious facial mile, but was immediately explained by Shararil.
"When I asked for an escort, I wanted to invite Miles into the elves! Thank you for all your help during the academic investigation of the woods!
"Yes, yes! At that time, he seemed interested in the inside of the elf, so instead of thanking me..."
"Me, too, because you rescued me from the Beasts! I wanted to introduce you..."
And Aetru and Dr. Cooleilaia followed it.
"Huh..."
I heard that, and, uh, the mile that made my face shine.
"Ho, is that true! Thanks! Actually, I," Inside the Elves, "definitely wanted to see it!
((((((I knew...))))))
It was a line to the elves by the 'plot' known to everyone except Miles...
"So, in the elves, what is the population......, 'El Mouth (like this)'?
"What, that strange word! Both elves and dwarves are 'human species', so 'population' is fine! Units to count, too, 'people (garlic)'! Don't count on 3el, 4el or anything crazy!
Dr. Cooleilaia, come on. Aetru and Shararil are just bitterly laughing.
"Shh, sorry...... So, the population..."
"It's forbidden!
"Huh?"
Aetru taught me from the side to the miles that solidified Dr. Cooleilaia's response, which seemed unpleasant.
"The number of people is not the most important factor in terms of safety.
Although humans cannot hide it because they live in open areas, although we elves form villages at first, many live scattered among the surrounding woods. It's better to keep the exact numbers down than to fight invaders and raiders. "
"Ah, so much so..."
Instead of bandits, no one, even lords, thinks about putting their hands on elves, etc...
Either way, the elves are magically prolific, they are familiar with the woods, they can live with less food because of their inactivity in metabolism,... and they have high pride, care about the woods, and a strong sense of fellowship.
Turn these people to their enemies, and they'll be wiped out as soon as they get into the woods.
Moreover, information is quickly passed on to all elf families, and hostile human organizations are hostile from elves in all countries.
Besides, elves are revered by humans, and because of their wisdom and beauty, many heartbroken royalty, nobility, and other powerful people. Some of them form friendships or are blood related.
... these elves are too cautious for me, TUEE.
(Well, humans, even if they die, just lose decades of their lives left, because elves lose hundreds of years of their lives. Too many years to lose, maybe be cautious......)
Though it is a mile to think about it, it was normal for an elderly person to be more cautious than a young person: from an elf's point of view, such as a 40-50 year-old person, rather than a young man, a child.
Unless there is more to it, is it the response of an elderly elf as a grandfather to someone his own grandson's age who is warm, gentle and kind to humans......
"That's right, the kung fu of the year..."
I shrugged unexpectedly, it was miles......
