Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave
Episode 1297: Forest Anomalies
The Solas Adventure Department Expedition had asked to come to the woods where the elves lived called "Wood Leaked Forest". Reaching the conclusion that Sora, who led it, could not help but worry for a moment, and had Nanami's breakfast, she had decided to gather the necessary dough and head to the inner head inside the "Wood Leak Day".
"Hmm... perhaps young... but the Great Spirit of the Wind has something in mind, too"
Manager Li is a little surprised to see that Sola and others are young as a human species, but recalls the word that Silfi had an opinion and shakes his head to admonish his own thoughts.
Note that they don't even think as much about the possibility that Wedge is lying about this manifestation of Sylphi as the fur. As the High Elves were, to them Silfi is absolute. Lying about it was a heavier crime than murder for the elves. That's what you have to do if you're not ready to throw out the woods.
"Well, good. For now, this is the map of this forest."
"Thank you"
Sola looks at the map that Lee Leung left me at her desk. It is several times the size of a forest near the village of Minad. It's not the breadth that I can handle in at least a day or two, and I had grasped that from the information Kate originally left me. As such, Manager Ri lightly begins explaining the situation.
"So this is a weird one... basically north around here... happening on the McDawell side"
"North side......"
Sora looks at the northern section of the interior as she listens to Chief Ri. It was an area with relatively prehistoric civilizations of historical monuments, led by the entrance to and exit from different spaces of the High Elves through which the Solas and others passed.
Because of this, the people inside are not very close, and in a way like Wedge, they only enter as many as they like. Even when it comes to elves, there is still a difference in character.
And this is their word, but they say the forest also has an on-the-spot nature. They also have elves who are not familiar with the north side. He said Wedge was coming to Maxwell this time or gave Sola and the others directions because he was the most familiar with this north side.
"Um. But there's not some noticeable anomaly going on. No, this is a visible place..."
Director Ri explains the situation to Sola, who appears to have a slight tooth cut. It's sad that they see themselves as part of the woods, but not the woods. Even if you can feel the strangeness of the forest, you don't know it clearly.
"... daughter of the North Forest. A child born at the foot of a world tree. Do you have any idea what it is?
"I've been watching it since yesterday... the north side of the woods... sometimes the animals are scared as if I remembered...?
Mindful of the voice of the forest, Tine agrees with the words of the inner director, making sure to look somewhere. Wherever they were born, they can hear the woods if they are elves. I guess you were right to bring her in.
"Uhm... you're right. Scared as if I remembered, but soon returned to normal as if I remembered again. Initially, we also hunted the woods wondering if any mighty beast had entered the woods. but I can't find anything."
I will make myself clear with the face of the director in trouble. This was the reason for this request. There's nothing they can do about it, so let's beg Kuzha, the superior species, for opinions and measures.
The failure to bring this to Maximilian lords was still influenced by exclusive places. It was only natural for them to talk to High Elf first.
"Then it's out of our hands anymore. So I was going to use the help of Master Kuzhamisa..."
I didn't expect this to happen. That's what Manager Ri says out of the blue. That said, Sola and the others need to find out more than they got as a job, and the elves can't sit back even though their forest is telling them they're strange. Neither of them will have to move.
"So, yeah. Work, but just this north side is good. Based on the language of the woods, it must be true that there is something north. I don't want to make a scene outside the north by putting in the leftovers poorly. If the anomaly spreads from the north, we'll deal with it then."
"Okay."
As for Sola, I'd like to see the whole forest if I can. but everything takes precedence over the client's intentions. Tine struck me in the ear by such a slightly unacceptable sola.
"For one thing, the forest says there's no such thing as a freak going south. I don't know for sure, but it seems safe outside the north."
"... I'll do that"
Whatever it is, if it's for a reason, it's okay as Sora. So Sola is firmly convinced this time. So Sola decided to go further.
"Well, isn't there anything we should focus on in the north?
"Hmm... there are a few. First, near the source of the creek, which also serves as a source of water in this area. When there's something here, it's important inside. I want you to make sure there's no problem here."
"I see... if possible, can I retain personnel in the form of a separate task force?
"If you can include people from the inside, I don't mind."
"Absolutely."
Basically, Director Ri doesn't trust or trust Sola and the others. Of course, the elves inside are with us. If so, it would be natural to accompany the surveillance in order to secure water resources.
That's well known to Sola, and most importantly, I want the help of the elves inside. Paradoxically, this was equal to getting help.
"Then it would be good. Let's drop in a few of our warriors for tomorrow's departure. You should decide with them for more information. If you can't do it, you can go straight home and do this. There's not just one water source."
"Thank you. So, what else?
"Hmmm... there's a herd of deer living here. We also checked regularly, but it would help in case you care. Just now there is a herd of deer raising children. And I have trouble getting my hands on it."
"I see..."
Sora writes information onto a given map as she listens to Director Ri. Relying on this map, the Adventure Department was going to act together. Thus, it took Sola about two hours to write all the necessary information onto the map.
"Is this the place?
"... um. That would be the place. As you know, this map is elsewhere... especially for the Maximilian people. If the bad hunters find out this information, it'll be a troublesome source."
"This is the information I heard in the request, so I am obliged to keep it confidential... and this time I also have a mouthfeel from Kuzha..."
In response to Director Li's request, Sola agrees without saying anything, although it was in the form of an outside statement. Here, some adventurers sell lightly obtained information to informants, whether it should be frightening or annoying.
After all, information is intangible property. Sometimes it can be sold at a high price, and information that only these elves know about is traded at a relatively high price. There will be no choice but to fear the inner director.
but that's not for the adventure department only. Because Kite is connected to the head of the Intelligence Guild, it's easy to expose information without buying or selling. Of course, this is something that neither Lee nor Sola and the others know about.
"Mm-hmm. Do that."
"Yes...... yeah, so who's going to accompany us?
"Except for the additions I mentioned earlier, I'll introduce them tomorrow. We need a lot of preparation, too. Understand that."
"Oh, I get it. Then it's up to you to set the time for your daily departure."
"Is that good?
"Yeah... it's better to have directions, and it's safer. Then it's more efficient to work that way"
"Hmm..."
You think so unexpectedly when you're young. I'm slightly impressed with Sola's insight. After all, this world is a different world. Only a limited number of people have a decent education.
It is true that Maximilians close to McDawell territory are also economically developed and, thanks to Maxwell, many who attend school can be said to be relatively well educated, but still cannot be said to be the territorial annexation of the Imperial Capital or the Five Dukes of the Two Grand Dukes.
It seemed unusual for anyone of Sora's age to be able to answer this question. And when he saw that good education, he thought the elf's inner director could trust only a little more.
"Let's be good. Wedge. Sure, Lord, you left us in and out of the temple site in the north?
"Yes, sir."
"Your Lord will guide you there."
"Is it good?
"Mm-hmm. Apparently, you're well educated. I don't think you can do anything you don't need to prank."
In Wedge's inquiry, the inner chief gives permission to enter the temple. The trouble with getting into these ruins of the past is, above all, being destroyed. but when he saw how Sola was doing, he decided that they would not destroy the Darkless Arrow Cod. And this would be a natural thought for the average Japanese. So I can say that he was right in his judgment.
"Okay."
Wedge bowed his head and indicated his acceptance to Commander Li's order and explicit statement. As a matter of fact, Sola and the others didn't know what this conversation meant. The temple site in the north was originally inside the search area. So I planned to investigate. But I guess this is where Sola and the others weren't trusted.
In fact, Wedge said on the road - and this time he was ordered to guide him - that the temple ruins and the temple ruins that Sola and the others had been asked to do were separate. After making a decision on whether or not he could be trusted, he decided whether or not to let Sola and the others investigate.
So Wedge shouldn't have mentioned this temple site on the road, but he got excited and accidentally, I guess. Out of the question, he may be a groomer. Even so, the inner manager didn't find out, so I guess that means it was good for him.
"Uhm...... actually, there are other temple tracks besides this. I want to leave the investigation there to you."
"Oh, yes."
Sora grabbed the feather pen to add a little haste to Director Li's words. When I saw that, the chief told me.
"Originally it was a place where the bonds were unfolding, a temple where prehistoric civilization once worshipped some kind of God"
"Do you mean some... evil god?
"That's not true. Previously, accepting the investigation of the Inquiry Mission of the Temple City, we have come to the conclusion that it is not at least a temple dedicated to the family of the Evil God"
"Really..."
Sola seeps a slight relief into Director Li's words. After all, he seemed rather wary of fighting against the family and followers of God called the Evil God. This one was wary when I heard from Kite, but I didn't know that Kite was familiar with it either - I knew she didn't worship the Evil God for once - so I guess I had no choice.
"Oh, excuse me. Uh, what else do you know?
"Hmmm... there is a God's tattoo in the center? It looks like there's a cavity in the basement... but apparently the entrance to and exit from the basement has collapsed. Detailed investigations have not yet been carried out as there is a risk of damage to the site. I'm waiting for Mr. Kuzhamisa's permission."
Director Ri answered Sora's query honestly. Because there was no point in daring to hide it even though you could see it. It should be noted that even here, why Kuzha, is because she is still the queen. Basically, the forest they rule is close to the autonomous community. So Kuzha's intentions are important, not Maximilian lords. And to the words of such a chief of the mile, Sora shrugged unexpectedly.
"Hmmm... I guess I should bring a list or something of the symbols of the gods borrowed from kite..."
"Hmm? Do you have something like that?"
"? Is it unusual?
Though a little shy that Sola had been heard talking to herself, she leans her neck toward the words of an intriguing inner length in a slightly different way than earlier. Besides, the captain nodded clearly.
"Uhm... rare things are rare. You may not know very well because you are Japanese, but basically the gods of Enefia do not concern us. Especially since the gods that originally revolved around this Enesian continent were ashamed of not being able to help much in the war 300 years ago. Basically, we are on a floating continent on the fringe of the brave Kate, and let us be free in case. Please help us with crises such as catastrophic species, but to that extent."
"None of the reigns govern, so?
"That's the most appropriate thing to say."
In Sola's metaphor, the inner director nodded that he had my will. This is Shamrock's intention. Even so, of course, this is no exaggeration to say that this is for superficial reasons.
They and their enemy, the Evil God, fell asleep at the same time. In other words, their resurrection, paradoxically speaking, meant that the enemy was close to resurrection. Therefore, he decided to consult with the kites and accumulate power on the floating continent just in case.
"Well, that's why we don't know much about the gods, either. Of course, it's not that I don't know the individual gods because I have a temple to worship. but I have to say that the myth is fragmentary and it is rare for an adventurer to have a book that systematizes it. Lord Guildmaster must be a very diligent man."
"Ha ha... Really?"
"Hmmm...... Hmmm. If that's what you're saying, let's ask for it from me. If there's anything you can tell me at the temple, can you report it to this side?
"Oh, of course."
Sola agrees to Director Li's offer. It seems that neither he nor Kite had a due date, but fortunately the inner director had doubts about what this temple was. If that question can be solved at all, he gave me permission to look into it in detail.
"Um, that helps...... then we'll also need a lot of preparation for tomorrow. If you need anything, you can say it to this side."
"Thank you"
Sola bows her head and expresses her gratitude to Director Li for his reiteration. Thus, Sora began to prepare for tomorrow after Nagako's house along with the noodles she had brought.
