Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Lesson 428: The End of a Long Day
King Elf is bowing his head to me. Could this be a do-do thing?
Looking around, the expression of all the elves on the spot hardens. Even they have a king bowing his head to a species that has been sporadically underestimated. I guess it's an incredible sight.
"I did something sorry...... I tried to get the benefactor of my daughter's life saved. You should be thankful. Numerous disrespectful behaviors towards an inexorable benefactor. On behalf of the Elf clan, let me sincerely apologize for this Honnowich."
"Hands up, please. Enough. The thief has already been crusaded by King Elf, your hand. That'll be enough."
Taking my word for it, he looked up softly and stood up slowly. And then you look around at the elves that are gazing at us.
"... why we have been corrupted"
No matter who he tells, he squeals. Its shoulders are faintly trembling.
"We were a proud race. I have been thinking for generations about not making it a good idea to fight, and how to avoid it. For this we gained a high level of intelligence and skill. Even with them, I don't know if this is going to happen... What... what went wrong..."
"I'm sure, folks, you might have gotten weaker"
"Weak?"
I wonder if my words were surprising, the Elf King has a surprised look on his face. Well, I guess that would surprise us if we thought we were the best, but they told us we were weak.
"Sure, I think all of you elves have great knowledge and skills. I connect to this untouched land, make a city, and live a proper life. I don't think this can be done by any race other than the elves. I'm sure it was a lot of sacrifice made to get this life. It must have been tough."
To my words, the king snorts quietly.
"It would not be emotionally good to say that other races enter this midst of such bloodshed, sweat and tears with earthfoot. But that being said, the move to get rid of it is too much. No matter what you think, it's not normal."
I open my mouth with my gaze on the surrounding elves. No one can gaze at me.
"First of all, I don't understand why you hate the deceased so much. Indeed, some people are bad. But on the other hand, there are good people. Aren't you just focusing on the bad parts of the people? I'm not, and I want you to focus on the good things about people. You don't have to have anything to do with anyone who tries to harm you or use you. But the idea of eliminating all that race is too extreme."
I feel unspeakable emotions pushing at me and at me. Emotions about what you're talking about...... After all, it's not very pleasant. But King Elf has such a tender eye for me. He nodded cocklessly as he met me.
"I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I think you're all a very smart species. But didn't you get only very limited information and knowledge from not interacting with other races for a long time? Using that little information, you were creating an image of our people. What's more, weren't we thinking of ourselves as an advantage?
The atmosphere of the elves has changed again. It seems breathtaking.
"But in fact, I don't think we were the kind of people you guys thought we were. Orto's plan was frustrated because he didn't get the right information and moved in an image he took his liberty in. I think this was the biggest cause. Continuing in its present state, there will surely be a second or third ortho in this. I don't want that to happen, and I don't think it should."
"Whatever! Dangerous, I mean!
One elf shouts out. I can't really drink the meaning of words because I'm not used to talking. Thinking you're in a bit of trouble, Sidi punches me in the ear from behind. Apparently, freeing the inside puts you in danger. You seem to be telling me to do that.
"The point is, the elves seem to be afraid that their compatriots will meet their dangerous eyes."
Sidi interprets for me. I see what underlies them was the idea.
"There's one way an elf doesn't fit a dangerous eye"
The elves scream at my words.
"We interact with other races. No, don't get mad here. Listen to me till the end, okay? What you need is information about other races. What people, what knowledge, what way of thinking...... I think you should have that information. Well, it would be impossible for all the elves to interact, but I think, as far as possible, you should interact with the various races. Naturally, some of them will try to attack or exploit the elves. Those don't have to go out with each other. We just need to interact with the kind of people who can help you."
"How does that have to do with not being dangerous?
King Elf opens his mouth with a serious look. I keep sneering and snorting.
"Strategy, do you know the word? Senryak...... Write abbreviate the battle. As its name suggests, you can't fight. As far as possible, we have to avoid a fight. To do so, we must increase our allies…. This, I can tell you from my experience, Agarta has been through a great battle here recently. We managed to cut through that battle, but we suffered a great deal. It was an inevitable battle...... until then, but I'm going to do everything I can to keep the battle from happening. I'm trying not to make enemies as much as possible. I believe that with no enemies, there will be no more battles of its own. Then you'll be invincible, won't you?
... Thought you said something good while I was at it, but apparently not pinned on the elves.
"Is that it?"
Suddenly, the elves are about to leave the room with Zorozolo. Did I say something that would disturb you?
"... Father told everyone to back off to discuss this later."
Meek talks to me in a whisper. Oh, my God, if that's the case, I wish you'd tell me so soon.
"Come to my bedroom. Get some rest tonight."
King Elf talks to each of us with his gaze on each other. I looked him in the eye and nodded slowly.
He turns his heel back and walks out slowly. We follow him, too.
King Elf's bedroom was a very simple one. Two beds lined up, one with a large canopy and a short distance from it. Apparently King Elf sent us to carry something else for us.
"I'm paying for this room. Rest easy. And when night breaks, we should get down the mountain."
That's what he snorts. That's when Meek jumps on the big bed with Piong and turns his gaze to King Elf. I noticed that. He sits back on the bed and meets Meek. He stopped moving in that position. The two fathers and daughters, they seem to be talking about piling up.
"Dear Linos, you looked great earlier"
Siddie talks to me in a small voice with her eyes sparkling.
"The saying that without enemies you would be invincible...... I thought you were very good. I already wanted to hug you from behind."
... If only one of you could understand, that's fine. With that in mind, I kissed Sidi's forehead watching how the Elves were doing.
Our long day is over.
