Autumn also deepens, the season of twitching and increasing cold.
Under a thin cloudy sky, the boat boils under a chase wind as it glides over a lake that ripples loosely.
On the north side, a magnificent mountain range was seen undergoing clouds. The Iron Rust Mountains.
"This, you just have to get into the west tributary, right?
"If it's as mapped. If there's any terrain fluctuations, let's turn back."
When he nodded at the turning menu from the tip of his hand, he resumed his call to the fairy.
We are now sailing the lake by boat to the west side of the Iron Rust Mountains.
I call the fairies, I call the wind. Menel's ship is very accustomed to it.
Fairy users and wizards who can read and manipulate the wind are in constant demand on the waterfront of the ship and have no trouble where to sleep with what they eat.
Menel probably doesn't eat at work like that either. He has experience.
"Here's the rope."
"Yes."
Meanwhile, at the stern, Mr. Leistoff teaches Lu to maneuver sails and ropework.
Mr. Leistoff has a long experience as an adventurer, but he has a good memory and a lot of extras. Alongside Menel on this kind of journey, I can count on something.
Although Lu has no experience in the area, he was rapidly developing his qualities as an adventurer while roughly shredding in his workouts with me and Menel and on this journey.
"Well, from here on out...... can't you predict what's going on, too, Mr. Gerreyes"
…………
Speaking to the oligarchy dwarf of the other wound, the snort returns.
"After that Great Breakdown, everyone sees"
Neither do the Gus know anything about being out of range of action because they were tied to the town.
From here on out, it's a completely untouched realm that's not even on the map and people have never stepped in.
"Just."
Mr. Gerreyes speaks quietly.
"Before the Great Bankruptcy, on the west side of Candlestick Country was the Elf Forest. First name, Rossdoll."
"Rossdoll… The Land of Flowers, is it"
"Do you understand Elf?"
"I was planted in gas, so one street is"
Like when you're a giant, you don't even know Gus as a very minor language, so there's a lot of unevenness, but still more languages to use.
Something about elf language is particularly rare because of the long lifespan of the speakers.
From Gus' knowledge of Elf two hundred years ago, there have been few major changes, so it's a category I'm good at.
"The Land of Flowers (Rossdoll) …… You've heard of it."
Menel, who looked out over the wooded shoreline from the tip, says.
"of the Dwarves of the Hole Guru, the kingdom of the Candlestick
Reaching the Rainbow Bridge is the Land of Flowers (Rossdoll)
The silver harp, the gold whistle, the singing branches (Remmiras) - "
A gorgeous song, twinkled in elf.
"That's"
"…… a journey song to my hometown."
"It's a song I miss. No, you're right."
The trees were gardens of colour at the end of the rainbow bridge, sprinkled with flowers in the white Asian houses and the sound of river spirals and elves' ease reconciled.
Mr. Gerreyes snapped.
"The Elves of the Land of Flowers and the Land of Candles weren't very close."
"Uh... like logging or something?
"You know well."
"No, I didn't know. We had a similar problem in our hometown."
It's a common rub between Dwarves and Elves, Menel says.
Elves living in the woods earn their livelihood by hunting and collecting and farming between forests, in harmony with the Spirit and obtaining numerous graces.
Dwarves living in the mountains harvest trees and use fire to make charcoal, and refine iron to make numerous tools.
Elves prefer luminous forest squares and treetops, while dwarves prefer deep caves and darkness.
"…… the lifestyle and culture are too different to be basically rubbed."
"Hmmm......"
As for the half elves and dwarves, I guess it's a matter of a lot to think about.
"As Lord Meneldor said, there were sometimes fierce rivalries. I've hated you. There is no point in counting words that curse each other.
… but was still a neighbor.
We bought grain, leather, and salt from the elf forest, and we sold mistletoe and iron tools and craftsmanship. "
The ship enters a wide tributary, from the lake.
Deep forest to the left and right.
Slowly follow the stream of the river and descend.
"The folks at Suzuru Branch (Remmiras) were brilliant, uncomfortable, and proud of the songs and fairies."
Just like us, Mr. Gerreyes whines.
He was not always a rapper.
"…… We had our respect for them, and so will we in them"
I thought twice a year ago. [M]
In the stories of Elves and Dwarves, from the time Brad and Marie lived.
And………
"They are, in The Great Break,"
"Until I stubbornly resisted in the woods, I know.
They don't want to give up.
… That's how the demons' offense became full-scale, the West Gate closed, and the Rainbow Bridge sealed. "
Alternatively, and sometime soon Mr. Gerreyes rapped.
"Or maybe he'll survive."
It was a prayerful word.
"The Elves have a long life span. Or -"
Such Mr. Gerreyes' words broke off.
We followed Gerreyes' gaze and remained silent.
…………
From Mr. Gerreyes' mouth, the groan leaked.
The trees scattered flowers over the white houses, and the gardens of colour at the end of the rainbow bridge, where the spiral of the river and the sound of the elves' ease were harmonious, were not there.
- At the end of the boat, the waters were lined with black, cloudy, and crippled trees.
◆
For a while, no one said anything.
"Somebody... Somebody, don't you..."
A blurry word leaked out of Mr. Gerreyes's mouth.
Then he opened his mouth as if trying to scream something, and closed - breathing slowly.
"You're untrained."
It was a voice trying to shake something off.
"Gerreise......"
Lu gives his voice to care.
"Young man. Don't worry."
Mr. Gerreyes shakes his head.
"... in the course of two hundred years, the flow has changed."
Mr. Leistoff told me to change the subject.
Standing down giant trees, rivers running through there that used to be forests.
"When..."
Menel looked up.
"I recognize this sight."
I noticed it when they told me.
Dead trees. Water to starch.
"-" Abomination (Taboo Word) "
With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.
Menel says abominably.
"If the Elf blood clan named" Branch "comes to the native forest, the number will prevail, but the equipment will be strong, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Confused, it's a repetition of partition, siege, and destruction of each. "
Brad also said to avoid fighting with elves in the woods.
That's why
"Have the Abominable Word, and gather the users of the high ranking Word and rite it.
- You rotted the whole forest, and you can't defend morality, you fucking demons. "
…………
Often, people think that "people and groups fighting for anything" are strong.
Or some argue, "If you're ready to do anything and fight, few opponents can't win," etc.
But it's right on one side and wrong on the other.
Fighting with everything is very strong in the short run but weak in the long run.
Once you use the forbidden hand, the other side will also lift the forbidden hand and return it to Wushu Luo.
If you are perceived as someone who ignores both morality and faith if it's for a purpose, you can't even form an alliance with those around you.
Rather, it becomes an excuse for the outfits that the surroundings coalesce around.
So in the long run, repetitive hands like that invite doom.
- "Anything" that cannot be used is fragile.
Even when it comes to the family of the evil god, if the high demon ghost in the leadership or the high immortal, the family of the Immortal Stagnate, is the opponent of the family of the Iltrite who conducts the atrocity, the reason around here makes sense and there is a certain morality.
I don't know, because it's something that lives in the same world.
However, this reasoning does not make sense to the Daemons of Nara, the family of the Dimensional God Diarigma.
They can't even understand whether the mental structure is different in the first place or something like this.
Just the monsters of the other world for the purpose of erosion and suppression.
――……
Looking at the stand-up elf forest, I think.
I can't do this.
We must not let any more of the beings who do this flat out bounce.
- We have to destroy him.
"Oh, my God, you're motivated."
"Menel like that, too, looks wary."
"Right, you shouldn't let him live"
Menel laughs like a fierce beast.
In response to that grin, Lu held his fist and Mr. Leistov and Mr. Gerreis also held up the edge of their lips just a little.
"Just before that..."
With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.
When I said that, Menel responded, and Mr. Leistoff and Mr. Gerreyes nodded.
Lu snaps his neck and looks around.
The ship is proceeding among the dead trees on the water it has stared at.
At first glance, there seems to be no abnormality, but I took the Pale Moon.
"There."
protruded toward the water.
At the same time, the water swells up to rupture.
- A glittering tip pierced the head of a giant snake that popped up.
◆
"Serpent!?"
"You're bogged down, he's still coming!
At the same time Menel shouted at the surprise lu, more serpents jumped out of the water on the port side, almost at the same time Mr. Leistoff's sword ran like a thunder.
but the water waves flashly and the ship rocks.
Even the slightest blow of Leistoff didn't make it through the steeple.
"Humph!
A blow from Mr. Gerreyes' mace smashed the bones of the serpent.
"…… Yikes."
Menel looked around and muttered.
I followed Lu around like he said he would.
"Hih."
and I can see you breathing.
A dozen thick, long shadows were gathering on the cloudy waters around them, loose and numerous - no.
"Menel! Full speed!
"I know!
Instructions are given. No, Menel calls on the fairy to create a strong chase wind and water flow and try to move the ship.
But...
"Damn, I'm not responding well. No! The fairy's weak!
The whole land will be cursed by the Word of Abomination.
Apparently, the fairies have a dull reaction.
As it stands, spells for underwater activities such as "walking on water" and "breathing underwater" may also be ineffective.
- Can you sink the ship, or if they drop it, it's dangerous.
"Keep focusing on the spell! Mr. Leistoff and Mr. Gerreis are on port! Lu follow Menel!
Shouting, I protrude the Moon and slash off the side of the other water snake that jumped out of the starboard side.
This situation is a little bad.
There is a chance that water snakes and other aquatic monsters will gather together, drawn by the blood of water snakes.
I don't even have time to get lost. It's risky, but let's rely on offensive phrases.
They burst intense shockwaves in the water and overhaul them with explosive fishing guidelines.
I made that decision and chose a short, powerful offensive phrase from among the handbills…
"Shock Bomb (Alpetite) -"
At that moment, the ship swung and rocked mightily.
The Word is disturbing.
――
Bad, and desperately exercising control over the Words that are about to erupt -
He jumped out, and a big water snake swallowed him up on the side.
"Guh!?
Fluffy legs swam on the swinging ship.
I can't stomp.
I'm dragged in as it is.
Cloudy waters approach.
"Will -!?"
I heard a water noise.
I was dragged into the water. [M]
