Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Lesson 594: Dark Elves (2)
The king of the Humans is said to be in the city of Dodeca, near Strob, where the home of the Holy Knights is located, and while he is in such a place, he has no relationship with the Holy Knights and publicly declares that he does not belong. … but to be honest, it's pretty suspicious. It was the earliest dawdle.
I don't think that the Holy Knights will leave the Holy Knight King in such a neighborhood, and since he is fighting the world, it is good to think that he is definitely holding the Holy Knight King in his arms.
Rather, since the testimony of the king of the human race has been taken, it may be thought that he has embarked on a global war.
Because we know that, we have not approached the tribal king of the humans either. If we go and ask the human king to join the Great Alliance, we will be caught up in it. In short, the story of the Human King is that he is publicly... and practically hand in hand with the Holy Knights.
However, because the number of people is very large, even if the king of the tribe joins hands, not all of the people will be joining hands with the Holy Knights. Of course, there are a lot of people like us who have a grudge against the Holy Knights, so the Tribal King cannot officially say that he will work with the Holy Knights. We know that if we do that, there will be a riot.
The one who is working hand in hand with the Holy Knights is close to the king of the clans, so only some of them will be able to save at least.
The progression of the Holy Knights into the world in its current form makes the Strob suburbs extremely dangerous and difficult to reach for aristocrats with gold. For that reason, it is quite difficult to go to the count or higher.
"In that case, would it be most realistic for an aristocrat with a title equal to or higher than that of a nearby count to be given a new title... do you have any idea?"
"It looks like you're going to hit the aristocrats in Rangebi."
Is it going to work?
"I wonder... if I were to regain my title, I would have more jurisdictions." Of course, you can see that the income will increase as the territory increases, but there will be more land that must be responsible for that, and there is a considerable distance from Rangebi to Janoya. Besides... there's something about Zalain, so I don't think it's a territory you want to touch. "
It goes without saying that the city of Janoya is home to Bourdon and is heavily influenced by Zahrain.
Although the bandits were annihilated, the Zarain threat did not leave altogether. Even if I were to be re-granted the title, that would not be the end of it. Of course, it will be a land under my jurisdiction, so I have to send support, and there will be more exchanges between Rangebi and Janoya.
Considering that, it is proportionally more likely that Zarain will flow into Rangebi, so if you are an aristocrat who takes your responsibilities seriously, you can say that Janoya is worn out now and you don't want to make much of it.
One of the big questions is whether or not there's someone there who can help.
"At least some of the aristocrats remaining in the city have a hand in hand with the Rangebi aristocrats, so it seems that they are trying to bring in a good story from there, but it seems that today and tomorrow will not be enough."
I see...
"But as it stands, almost all the bandits around here have been neutralized, and they should be safe for a while." In the meantime, you just have to get through it somehow. ”
"There are other people besides me who can fight, so I don't think you have to worry about that."
"That's true, too."
The city is not so chaotic, but it can't be said to be lively, so I think it is necessary to be vigilant, but since the big bandit called Hunter's Larrabee has been crushed, there is no need to worry about that.
Speaking of which... you want to ask me something, right?
Promerte asks me what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
“We'll be waiting outside.”
"I'll have some tea right away."
Donnathe, who has taken care of me, takes the other three out with him. In response to that, Pilate will deal with it immediately.
It was always Nil that responded to this kind of situation, but as soon as I realized it, Nil moved faster than anyone else so that I didn't have to move.
Leaving Promerte behind, Nil will make us some tea after the donnates leave the room.
Thank you. Hmm! It smells good, doesn't it?
“The person in Rangebi, Vitalia, makes tea from the Blue Tree.”
"From the Blue Tree... it's unusual... nnh!" It's delicious! "
"Fufufu. Thank you."
Before we start the conversation, Nil gets her throat rinsed with tea, and she also promotes it. This is how good things spread.
I'm going to write to Leah about who killed her husband... but when I write about Allen, I get a little distracted.
As for Leah, since she was betrayed by Allen, who trusted her, and she was relying on the man who killed her husband, the wound would be huge.
However, I think Leah and Sanamari will get through it...
If we can, we'd like to go to Rangebi, but that's not the way to go... maybe it's a good idea to write to Hurina as well. When you're ready to go, write to Leah and Hurina.
So, I'd like to ask Promerte...
Yeah.
When I cut out the story, Promerte sits in her chair and looks at me.
“To put it bluntly, I want to hear what you know about the Dark Elves.”
"Dark Elf? You've got another rare name."
Even though Hyolmina doesn't talk much, I can't believe that Sinya-san came up with that name... is there something wrong? "
"If possible... I want you to tell me without asking me what happened here." I know it's a bold wish, but... "
You can imagine why the name of the Dark Elf came out of me at this timing, because it's about Promelte. However, you dare to ask me to decide whether I should ask you why or not.
In short, even if we know what we're hearing, we're asking if it's something we want to ask for without saying anything else.
"I don't care, we've saved lives so many times, we deserve to talk."
Besides, I don't ask what's going on. It's about Cynthia, so you must be thinking about us. "
“I'm sorry.”
"It's fine, but... I don't know much about it either, do I?"
"As far as I know, that's fine." We hardly know anything. "
“Okay, I'll tell you what I know.
Well... if you don't know anything, I'll start by telling you what kind of race is the Dark Elf. "
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
Promerte sits back down once, sips her tea, and opens her mouth.
"First of all, the Dark Elves are said to be very similar in appearance to our Elves, but with dark skin and high physical abilities. However, they had less magic power than our elves, and they didn't seem to be very good at magic."
When it comes to Elves, the image of Bow and Magic is strong, but was the Dark Elves different?
"Yes, the image of the Dark Elves is the image of a sword, armor, and dark magic."
Can all Dark Elves use Dark Magic?
"To the best of my knowledge, the Dark Elves had the qualities of Dark Magic." However, it doesn't have a lot of magic power, so it should have been used in an auxiliary way. "
The Black Dogs didn't rely too much on magic. That's all I know.
"I heard that there were a number of very strong races who were named after the demonic elite during the war."
You don't know much about demons, do you?
"The elves have a long life." There are a lot of people who remember the war era. ”
"I see..."
"However, it is said that such a species has already been extinct, and it is said that it was extinct in the second half of the old war era."
"If you're that strong, it sounds strange that you're going extinct...?"
"I don't know about this either, but it's been said that the Elves couldn't leave their offspring."
"What do you mean?"
“The Dark Elves, like the Elves, were long-lived, very strong species, but low in fertility, and… simply put, they were a race that could hardly have children.
And, unlike our elves, because of the Dark Elves' abilities, we were often put on the front line in war, so the number was reduced. "
………………
I have no idea what you want to say.
If you're standing in the front, you're often hit by arrows, and the chance of a casualty is higher than in the back. Therefore, it is difficult for the race to survive if there are many people who die and no children can be born.
It may not seem strange as a reason to reduce the number, but it is difficult to think of extinction as such.
If we reduce the number, will we continue to stand in the vanguard until extinction? Besides, there must have been non-combatants, and who were they?
When I think about it, I'm just wondering.
In fact, the Black Dog was a group of Dark Elves, and they weren't extinct, so I can say that the story is wrong.
"I can't help but feel that Sinya-san is unnatural. It's just a legend, and the Elves don't know the real reason why the Dark Elves went extinct.
The demon king at that time was exterminated for fear of his strength, he was really alive and lurking in the woods... there are so many things to talk about. "
I see… What about the relationship between the Dark Elves and the Elves?
"They say they were originally of the same race..."
This has become a legend too, but...
Among the elves, those born with strong aptitude for dark magic are said to become Dark Elves.
However, the truth is suspicious. The elves also have the aptitude for dark magic, but their skin is pale dark and their magic power is low, and they don't have any elves with high physical abilities. "
"If the Dark Elves are Dark Elves, it's no wonder that Dark Elves will be born later from among the Elves."
"If you can't give birth to a single child, you can't say that the legend is correct..."
However, we have a similar lifestyle to the elves and are said to have had a good relationship in the first place. "
Originally?
"The history of the Dark Elves that is passed down to our Elves originally said that the Elves and Dark Elves lived in the same place, but the Elves who were good at bows and magic and the Dark Elves who were good at swords gradually developed grooves and eventually lived apart.
After that, a small number of Dark Elves joined a large group of demons to defend themselves and become demons in order to survive the survival competition with other races. "
Since being able to do bows and magic was a status for the elves, the groove was born... right?
I feel that my muscles are passing.
Dark Elves are a race with a lot of elves, but if the number of races is small, it is very likely that they will be crushed before the number. We've just tasted the spiciness of being crushed a few years ago, so we know it well.
"I see... I know a lot about the Dark Elf race." Do you know anything else? "
"I see... we elves know a lot of things before the Dark Elves belonged to the Demon Clan." Therefore, I don't think I can tell you that much about what happened after becoming a demon race. "
“Still, let me tell you something.”
I got it.
That's what you told me...
To be honest, 80% of the content was about eyebrow salmon, which was close to the wartime martial arts.
There was a lot of content such as slaughtering tens of thousands of soldiers by one person, breaking the earth with a single blow, etc.... the bard told the story in a big way, and there were many stories that would not be used even if he knew about it.
However, there were several stories that could be used, and one of them was that there were weaknesses in the Dark Elves.
Weakness?
“Yes. This is a legendary story. I don't know if it's true, but the Dark Elves are said to have a weakness in their stones called Blush Crystals and Gray Black Crystals.”
A gray-black crystal? Like I've heard it somewhere...
"Master, this is the name of the mineral found in the underground cavity where Aitvaras was."
"Ahh!! That's it!"
It was a black mineral, a crystal that was rotting in the underground cavity. Certainly the result of the appraisal magic...
[Grey-black (yekko) crystals... aka blush crystals. A type of mineral found deep underground. Resistant to longitudinal pressure.]
It should have been something like that.
Is this it?
I took out the gray-black crystals that I had stored in my inventory so that I could use them for something.
"Yeah! That's it!
I mean... you used to have such minerals...? "
Indeed, Seidl said that it is a mineral that hardly ever comes on the market, and because the amount of excavation is small and there is not enough to investigate the use, it should have been said that it is useless nowadays.
I thought I could use it for something... but I didn't think it was the weakness of the Dark Elves...
The minerals are weaknesses, like Sue Oman.
"I don't know if that's really a weakness." It's just a legend. ”
"Yeah, I know."
Certainly, the black crystal in front of me is a weak point, but it doesn't make sense.
Even if it is really a weak point, if you don't know why it is a weak point, you don't know how to use it.
Whether you can weaken the opponent by frying and drinking it, or whether you can weaken the opponent by just touching it, or by approaching it like Sue-man...
If we assume that it is really a weak point, we will need to examine the crystals once more.
“That's all I know.”
"I see... I'm glad to hear a lot." The reward is... "
“I don't need it.”
"No, that's not how it works..."
"I need... I need... I need...!" I'm telling you! "
Put your index finger up in front of me, Promelte.
"I understand. Thank you."
“That's all right.”
Promerte laughs contentedly, making a cold cup of tea.
I'll make it again right now.
"Ah. I don't need it.
We're going to be out for a while, so I'll leave you to it. "
"I'm sorry I'm so busy."
"I'm not busy. Just a little errand.
In the meantime, Cynthia should be completely healed soon. "
"Yeah, I got it."
After that, she exchanged words lightly with the five Eagle Crows, and Nil dropped them off outside and returned to me, Suratan, Heine, Pilte, and Nil.
“You've told me a lot more than I thought.”
“Yeah. Not all of it was powerful information, but it was worth thinking about the weaknesses.”
Looking at the gray-black crystal, I returned to Heine's words.
"The question is, what is the weakness?"
That's right.
"Is it because of the ingredients contained in the gray-black crystal...?" Or maybe the ingredients that come out when you break it down... "
Promerte said it too, but it's probably just a story, so it's definitely not true.
“Yeah, I know that.
However, it is said that there is no smoke in the place where there is no fire, and I think that the fact that the specific name of gray black crystal has appeared is a mineral that has some meaning for the dark elves.
If it was wrong or right, I think it would be better not to examine it, and I will try to investigate a lot. "
"I see... I'll leave the gray and black crystals to Surakitan."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll take care of it!"
I received the gray-black crystal from Surakutan, and I looked at it from various angles while saying bumps.
"It's better to have as much information as possible, and we'll try to collect it." I don't think it's what you expect, but it's better than doing nothing. ”
"Thanks, but don't push yourself." She's not captured, she's not absolutely necessary. ”
“Yeah, I know. The people of the city won't be able to do that now either.”
"I'll come with you when you leave." Sinya-san seems to be in good health, and if Nil-san is with her, she won't have to be chaotic. "
Yes, of course!
Looking at Nilu, Sara says, Nilu pulls her chest out and returns.
Apparently, I'm under surveillance.
"Fufufu. Well then, I guess I'll ask Suratan for an escort."
Pilte and I are going to talk about the Dark Elves and the city. ”
"I think it will take a few days for Cynthia to fully recover, and in the meantime, I will investigate the gray-black crystals while gathering information."
