Surrounded by soldiers, he was taken in front of a large tree. Instead of feeling tens of thousands of years old... dozens of trees have gathered, fused and evolved into large trees.
Looking up, there are more than 100 residences, surrounded by large trees and doughnut-shaped squares, with few but many children hanging around, elves singing songs on one hand, sitting on the ground chatting, and playing card games.
But when the soldiers came around me, the noise stopped.
"We are going to the residence of the High Elves. Don't look so coarse."
"Don't you have to tie me up?
"Hmph, if you tie up an unarmed kid, you'll be named after our Elven Guard."
"Heh...."
Apparently, they are confident in martial arts.
Indeed, since it is an elf that has a much longer life span than humans, its combat capabilities may actually be higher. There was a feeling that I wanted to activate the [Orb vision] I just remembered by holding it in my hand, but if I did something like sneaking a peek, I wanted to stop it.
There are several staircases around the trees that can be passed on and climbed. I don't have any handrails, but I don't think they'll be scared if they get used to it because everyone is going to go up smoothly. And since the stairs up and down are clearly separated, there is no need to cross each other.
There is a large dance floor about 20 meters up, from which there are separate stairs.
What took me was a spiral staircase made out of a trunk. [M]
Through there —— surprisingly, you open your sights.
It seems that this tree has one head in the forest.
"Ooh...."
Looking down at the top of the trees, the carpet of green leaves spreads as far as you can see. The direction I came from was still divided between the grasslands and the forest as if the line had been drawn.
Beyond the forest, more than 10 kilometers from here, there's a gentle tree beyond —— a huge tree.
Of course, there are other trees with a single head, just like where I am, but it was completely different.
And the trunks stretched through the carpets of the trees, spreading huge branches and leaves upon them, and stretching their power over a vast area.
Wow.
What a big tree...
"Don't look."
In front of me who was touched, a blue jeweled elf burst out.
"Eh, yeah? I can't help seeing it."
"When the human race sees it, there's a story that the world tree (...) is filthy."
The World Tree! I knew it! It's called the World Tree!
It's called a world tree.
!?
I say, the blue gemstone elf turns bright red.
"That's how you collect information! I won't let you! Hurry up!"
and pushed my back.
Slightly sloping up there,
Wow.
There was a house.
It's about eight meters wide, not so big, but it's definitely a house.
The edge-like area is wide open towards us, and the room has a table on a wooden floor.
That's all I can say, room.
Not only the blue jeweled elves, but the soldiers knelt together. There were no bow elves, so there were only spear elves here.
There was an elf sitting at the table -- a high elf, poking his elbows and putting his cheeks on both hands, looking at us with an interesting face.
"You, the human race that took Asha."
The man said.
Platinum blonde hair stretches to the shoulders, is intricately tied and has several jewels hanging. Surprisingly well dressed, his long, slightly elongated ears clearly indicate that he is an elf.
Smooth skin and sapphire blue eyes reminded me of someone I had.
(Same as Asha....!
There was nothing to suspect that this person was a high elf and a relative of Asha.
"Hmm... you've settled down a lot for a human child. You think you're safe because you know Asha?
"No, that's not it."
"So, those disgusting lizards will protect us?
"... are you talking about the Lev Magic Empire?
"That's right. Thanks to you showing me your I.D., I quickly realized that Raj, the man who took Asha, was here."
There is no Internet or telephone in this world. But I have magic equipment for ultra-long range communication, so I'm sure you're using it to get my information.
This means that I gave you the correct and incorrect ID card issued in the Empire.
…………
"Oh, what's wrong? Are you mad at me? Are you mad at your lizard friend?
"... I'm angry. But it's not just because you fooled all of Lev's hard working people, but because an elf like you is a relative of Asha."
When I saw it, High Elf narrowed his eyes. [M]
"Heh... so what are you going to do? You're not gonna hit me right here?
I felt tension running over the elves behind me. [M] He's still on his knees.
"No, let me (...) meet Asha. I'm here to meet and talk to Asha."
So —— he hits his mouth with his hands.
What does that technique mean?
"--Pu"
He said,
"Kuku, ahahahahaha!
I slapped my knees and laughed.
... eh?
What, you got something to laugh at? I'm laughing so innocently.
"So, Your Highness...?
When the elves behind him were afraid, he —— still, the royal high elves --
"Ah, I laughed. I laughed. Ouch, you. That's crazy. Hey, Elvin Guards, back off."
"Eh!? But, yes, we're from the High Elves...."
"The High Elf ordered it. Or what? You can't take orders from the royal Fallen?
"And, of course not!
When all the armed men stood up in haste, they turned right and left the spiral staircase.
"Um...?
He said invitingly that I tend to be confused. [M]
"Come here and sit down. I'm Asha's brother, Matvey, and among the ten heirs to the throne of the next High Elf, I'm called" The Fallen Matvey. "
"Falling...?
"Don't look so suspicious. You and I have one thing in common..."
Nh, Matvey smiled, and she was still an incredibly ready smile.
He wants to free Asha from this country.
