Master’s Smile

Lesson 185: Burning Settlements

"Oh, no..."

After hearing that report, Roofigia ran off abruptly toward the settlement.

No, she's not the only one.

All the other elves were running, except those who were seriously injured so that they could not move.

The only ones not following are the severely wounded elves and the masters and chevalts who will pull them off.

What they saw of the settlement like that......

"Oh, our... village..."

The flames are swallowing up the settlement, making a loud and fierce noise.

The building, made of trees, could not stop its fire momentum extra.

- - - The villages of the Roofiggias, they were burning.

"So who... who does this..."

Elves looking at the settlement in a glimpse.

That would be so. When I got back from the war with the Dwarves, there was a burning place to go back.

But you can't always do that.

The first return to sanity was still, or should I say, Roofigia.

"Hold on!!

Bread!! and strike your hands hard, making a thirsty sharp noise.

The elves, who watched melameras and burning flames in a daze, also look at her with their bodies vividly trembling.

"Anyway, we need to put out the fire. Something that doesn't burn all the deep green woods! Plus, we'll rescue the elves that were left in the settlement!

"Ooh!!

The elves, sane back to the words of Roofigia, begin to act.

The elves look for those who survive as they magically weaken the momentum of the fire or destroy the building so it doesn't burn any more.

They search desperately in prayer, but they find no survivors.

On the contrary, we can't even find the body.

Maybe he's already evacuated this place.

Few elves thought so, but we all realized that was too much of a mixed expectation.

"Ha, ha...!

Roofigia was running for the Senate building.

There, it is the most important base of this settlement.

If anything, Senate members in leadership positions gather over there to decide what to do with the deliberations there.

Members of the Senate will also be gathered because of this state of emergency.

"I see...... Huh!!

Roofiggia's eyes capture the senate.

Fortunately, the building itself doesn't seem to be burning.

The momentum of the flames wrapping up the settlements also seems to be declining more and more, if we look closely.

Probably because the elves continue their desperate fire extinguishing activities.

Roofigia jumped inside the Senate, relying on them.

"Oh, roofie gear. Are you all right?"

"Elder!!

Elves accumulating mustaches sitting in the upper seat, the elders smiled calmly and called out.

To the words, Roofigia exhales a sigh of relief.

"Are you safe!?

"Hmm. Something like..."

The elves in this settlement admire very much this elder, the hero who saved the settlement.

The young elves, such as Roofigia, are not, but as they grow older, many turn their emotions towards him, arguably the earliest reverence.

This means that as long as there are elders, the settlement can be redone as many times as it takes.

Roofigia was pleased that he did not have to lose the key to reconstruction.

"The other senators...?

"... um. Unfortunately, it seems like the only thing that got here was me."

"What...?

Roofigia is shocked by the words of the elders.

Indeed, the vacancy continues to seem lonely, as no member of the Senate has always sat in such a way as to surround him.

... would that be stupid?

Luffigia thinks.

Are they the ones who admire the elders who don't come to this senate?

"... what the hell happened? This is the first fire I've ever been born into."

"I don't know much about it either. Probably some kind of raid..."

…………

Roofygear's suspicions grow even bigger.

This forest is bound by the magic of the elves.

It is a powerful magic that leads the outsiders astray and will never be broken unless they are forced to open it.

You mean you've been through that magic?

Then an alert elf warrior should discover it.

"Are the senate better...?

"... um"

The members of the Senate had many elderly elves and were long-lived demon-like and powerful elves.

Who couldn't reach this building by themselves?

I get more and more unpleasant predictions in my roofie gear.

"... Elder. Really, don't you know something?

…………

Elders who don't talk about anything.

His attitude, which does not break his smile, makes him feel cold on the spine of Roofigia.

I know a master who never breaks his smile all the time, but unlike his warm grin, it was terribly ruthless.

"Hmmm..."

The elder, who is turned to the gaze of suspicion, looks very relaxed and as usual, unlike Roofigia, which is creating a pressing atmosphere.

That was crazy.

Now, there's no way we can stay the way we always do when we say that the settlement is an anomaly damaged by a fire.

"Roofygear is smart.... But you don't like smart women, do you?

――――――

Knowing that the Elder's wand can be directed at himself, Roofigia kicks the ground hard at the same time as he sees it and heads back.

As I jumped out of the building as it was, the magic of a sharp breeze struck her.

Roofigear manages to activate magic to offset it, but his opponent is the elder of this settlement.

The magical power is also a few steps above her, scratching a slight wound on her righteous face.

Roofigia sees the blood dripping from her cheeks and realizes that her worst anticipation was in the middle.

"Ho. The boulder is an elf warrior. No, if it was a coarse warrior now, he would have died in one blow. I should have told you that boulders are roofie gear..."

Elders slowly walking from inside the building.

From its grandeur, I can't feel any drawbacks that have attacked me now.

- Really, I was going to kill you.

"Elder... what the hell, why...?

"Yeah? Right. Even if I know who caused this disaster, don't you see why? Well, I guess so, too."

Unlike the rest of the elves, Roofigia didn't even get paranoid about it, but still placed a certain amount of respect and trust in the elders.

Being targeted for life by him like that had damaged her mind not least.

But even looking at a roofie gear like that, the elders just laugh deeply.

"My petition... No, because of my petition for" et al. "

"Hospitality...?

"What? That's something you don't need to know."

The elders cut and throw away the bastards.

So I laughed nicely with my lightless eyes.

"You're gonna die here."

".................. Huh!!

Roofiggia finally figured it out here.

The elder... that this man is an enemy to himself, to the elves.

"They made up the Senate, and they were the foundation."

"Nobody wanted that!

"That's the case...... You seemed to admire me a lot about the eagle, and you were happy to help me?

Roofigia finally stops using even salutations.

Naturally, the elders have become enemies to the elves.

"Well, if you want to, it's none of my business. You, too, will die here and be the foundation. Because you have to put your strength in this ball."

"It's..."

That's what the elders say, taking balls out of their nostalgia.

There was a vortex in it, what a strange ball.

When roofie gear is blinded by its balls......

"Whatever you find, you can't avoid attacking me."

"Shit......!

To the elder, who laughs and says, Roofigia bites his teeth off.

A powerful mass of fire is shot at her as she crosses her arms in front of her body.

It has to be said that the Elder of the Boulder Elf can use the magic of fire as well as the magic of the wind.

He would never have been more reliable if he had been one of us, but he is now an enemy who is coming for his own life.

"(I don't care what you do...... Huh!!

The Elder's magic was at a height where neither power nor speed extended to roofie gear.

Close your eyes and stiffen yourself.

When the elder's fierce blade tried to reach her......

"Mmmm......!?

I heard the elder's surprise.

When the roofie gear opens its fearful eyes......

"This is..."

Between Roofigia and the elders, one thin magic wall could be created.

It wasn't very much, but it was so thin that I didn't think I could prevent that lump of fire, but it completely embraces its magic and doesn't even make Roofie Gear feel the heat.

"Who is it!?

The elder glances around.

Roofiggia had an idea of this magical user.

"Master......"

A master stood smiling calmly as he made the dark elf maid refrain behind him.
