She continued to follow the glowing elves in the woods, surrounded by big stupid trees, but suddenly stopped in the air and turned around.
Please wait here. I'll pick you up now.
With that, the light that was on the elves disappeared.
I thought you would guide me straight to my place, but is there anything I can do to prepare?
Even though the deals are mutually beneficial, they may still be on the alert.
I didn't feel anything unusual in the woods, but is this also like Severia?
“Yeah, not only do we confuse the outside world, but maybe we can't get to the city without a guide.It's like the fog in the Sevaria sanctuary, isn't it? "
"Is it the boundary of the Holy Land...?"Could there also be a patron saint here? "
"Hmm, I wonder.In the case of Severia, there was protection for all of the area, but this is only part of the forest.I can't feel the divine power that much, so I feel like it's quite limited.That elf also said it was spirit magic.
It was similar, but the power and range were weaker than that of Mr. Testeud.
Still, the barrier was strong enough to defeat the Marignant.
I'm curious if that elf has built a barrier to this spiritual arts, or if there are even more incredible magicians.
While having such an argument, Martina was talking to the Freesias with great excitement as she stepped on the spot.
"Well, I'm looking forward to going to the Elf's town!"It was one of my dreams! "
"I'm looking forward to it too!"I've never been to another Elf's house! "
"I'm a little interested, too."
They're totally in the mood for sightseeing... there's almost no fighting so far, there's not much unusual feeling, and there's not much nervousness, so there's nothing you can do about it.
If you're just as distracted as we are, you're likely to be wary of your opponents, and you might want to be with some of them who have an atmosphere like the Freesias.
When we waited there, Freesia reacted quickly and turned around, so we were caught and looked at.
Then a man with short blond hair came out, scratching the trees.Of course, he's a handsome man with long ears and an elf, and his face is still well-equipped.
They were wearing bows and arrows, and they looked like combatants.Maybe it was one of those purple dots in the map app.
He glanced around at us with an emotionless expression.
"I'll show you home, follow me."
Yes, thank you.
Without any particular greeting, we follow the male elf who walked out.
Hmm, unlike the elves who were controlling the spirits, there was no friendly atmosphere at all.
I can only check the color of the dot in the map app, but it seems that I can understand that there is no hostility because it is turned blue.
But all I know is that you're not hostile, and I don't know if you're welcome.
I can understand that people don't have good emotions when they come, so let's keep an eye on them for a while without stepping in too much.
From there, you can see that the paths that have been cleared of plants and trees are artificially maintained.
Soon we arrived at a place called the Elf's Town.
Although it is cut open and turned into a square, there are many plants and trees, and there is still a lot of nature.
And there were trees gigantic enough to shade the sun, and there were dwelling huts built upon the roots and branches.
After all, elves coexist with nature.I felt that the air was more delicious than usual.
Seeing that, Freesia shouted at the warrior.
"Wow! It's been a long time since I felt like this!"
"Is this how Freesia lived?"
"Yeah! I used to climb the spirit tree and play with it."
"Making the spirit tree a playground in a way is amazing..."It's also full of magic here, and it feels mysterious. "
"It's a good place, isn't it?"If you eat at a place like this, it looks delicious. "
"Hmm, it seems like a nap would be good."I also like the fact that the sun is shaded by trees. "
"I'm too loyal to my own desires, like eating or taking a nap..."
Does the Elf's town feel the same everywhere?
With Freesia, Martina thought it would be noisy, and she looked dumbfounded and silent.
Oh, you said you were so excited, but you're strangely quiet.
Sisha thought it was strange, but she was coughing and calling out awkwardly.
"Gohong... what are you doing in silence?"It's not like you. "
"Um, I thought I was really adventuring..."I've never been to a place like this before... "
"It's a big mistake. If you're deeply emotional now, you'll likely react the same way when you go to various places in the future."
"Eh, that's too much fun!" I want to adventure more with everyone!...... oh, I'm sorry "
Well, isn't that okay... you're going crazy, aren't you?
Sisha turned away and looked bad, and Martina fell down and shut up to each other again.
It seems like Sisha would be easy to deal with if she were to behave in the usual way, but she would react purely and purely.
But he seems to be walking up, so he seems to be getting along well.
In such an exchange, an elf came from the side of the town.
A female elf with long blonde hair knitted in various places, and the spirit elf who guided me through the woods.
This is the one who brought us here with Spirit Magic.
The clothes were dressed in white one-piece dresses on the shoulders, and he looked like a priest with a fine cane.
The male elf she guided us to, lowered her head and found out that this female elf was great.
Somehow it has a majestic atmosphere, and I can feel it on my skin.
"Thank you for coming, let's welcome you."I'm Gallier, acting for Chief Sato. "
"I am Heihachi Okura, an adventurer."Thank you for taking me this far. ”
"It's not about being thanked.This time I just invited you to make a deal.I want to talk to you right away, so please follow me. "
I wonder if this person is acting on behalf of Chief Sato.I don't think it's majestic enough to be a surrogate... but I wonder what happened to the real chief.
I'm curious, but I think this is the representative right now, and I don't want to make a deal without looking into the odds.
After being guided by Mr. Gralier and stepping into the house, I began to feel my gaze from this side.
No one looked around, but when I looked closely, I saw the elves looking at me from among the trees and grasses, and from inside the house, and when my eyes met, they were hiding in a hurry.
But I was so curious that I soon came out of my face again.Some of the elves frowned unpleasantly, and you can see at a glance that they are not welcome.
Even though we were exposed to such gaze, we were guided to Mr. Gralier's house.
When we entered the room with the three guards who also added the male elves we brought into the house, Mr. Gralier apologized to the mouthpiece.
"I'm sorry about everyone in the village.If you let me know in advance that people will come so I don't get confused, I'd really like to see them.This town has been visited by people from other places for hundreds of years. "
"It's been a few hundred years... are you not interacting with people?"
"... it looks like you don't know what happened between us."Even though there are elves and vampires... were they born after that era? "
"Hmm, I don't know how difficult it is, but we're not familiar with this world."
Same. It's different from a normal vampire.
"That's a strange phrase... well, let me give you a quick explanation."
With that said, Mr. Gralier began to explain.
First of all, the elves in this town used to interact with the people in the past, but since the war between the people and the demons 200 years ago, it has disappeared.
Not only that, but the elves were also involved in the war, and the village, which was a place of exchange set up outside the forest, was also burned down.
The Elves seem to have fled into the woods, but some of the woods have been burned down, and it's been a tragedy.
After the end of the war, he came into contact with people several times, but he was attacked more often because he thought he was a demon, and his relationship with them has since broken down.
There really seemed to be a lot more detail, but to sum it up like this.
So you're saying that you're involved in a fight between humans and demons?
"That's what happens." Since the war between humans and demons, we have become hostile to humans.Certainly, the demons had characteristics of various races, and their appearance was often different from those of other races.That's probably why we were treated like demons, too. "
If you talk to me properly, you'll understand, but you didn't.
"There weren't many opportunities to get out of the forest and there weren't many exchanges."Then I decided that I should live in the forest without trying to force myself to understand.In the past, people came to the forest for the purpose of crusade, but in the past hundred years, I was an adventurer who came to collect Pulsarx.I didn't think I'd even been forgotten..... "
If there was an exchange until 200 years ago, even if I was mistaken for a demon, I might have a little information about the Elves.
But I've been looking into it, and there's nothing unnatural about Elf information in this country.
I don't know because I've never seen a demon other than the Marignant, but is there any reason why I should consider other races as demons?
I've been distracted by the gacha, but perhaps I should do more research on this country now.
Esther was concerned when she thought about it.
Could it be that you were dealing in Pulsarx when you were interacting with people?
"Hmm? Ah, you gave me some."As long as we know how to mine it, Silvarector isn't that much of a threat.We also collected a couple of them in about 10 years. "
"Zhu, is that all you've got in 10 years..."
"Even if Silvarector itself is found, it doesn't always harbor fruits."I didn't even look for it except when I needed it.If you look for it in earnest, you'll find it. I don't think it's been that long for ten years... "
"There's only a long-lived elf, and the feeling of years is different."Not only is it unusual, but it's going to take a lot of effort to find the fruit. "
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!That's a phantom fruit!
Even if I could solve the anomaly, I wouldn't be distracted if we searched for it ourselves...
Whatever we do here, we need to get Gralier and the others on our side and help us explore.
"So please tell me about the weirdness of the forest."Marignant is involved, isn't it? "
“That's for sure. In conclusion, this whole forest is losing its vitality."
"Virtuous...? What kind of thing is that?"
"It can be called a source of life.Vitality has been stripped from the trees and is slowly beginning to decline.If we keep going like this, the inner forest will wither away.At the same time, the barrier that protected the land was weakening.The spirits are gradually deprived of their strength..... "
"It looks like this wide forest is going to wither away, which is a pretty serious situation.I wonder if they were trying to summon a patron saint like Sevaria.Does that exist in this forest? "
If the Marignants were aiming for this forest, it is likely that they were trying to do the same with Severia.
If there was a presence like Mr. Testeudo, it would be as sure as it gets... "
"I don't know what a patron saint is, but if you're a spirit, you're in the forest."But now I'm on holiday. "
"Night off? Why is it a forest crisis?"
I heard you ran out of power in a battle with a demon 200 years ago.
"That was a time when humans and demons were at war, wasn't it?"Is there a demon in this forest as well? "
"It seems that something exists in this forest."Maybe that's why the Marignant attacked us this time.It may be said that it is at the same time that you have pressed us to obey.The biggest cause of anomalies is also there. "
"Oh, what the hell is that in this forest...?"
I was surprised to see the Great Spirit, but Marignant's purpose was something else.
Moreover, the obedience of the Elves... what is in this forest that can cause abnormalities?
Ms. Gralier said it in a serious voice as she took a breath and took a break.
"There's a labyrinth deeper into the forest that was once sealed."I see the culprit in this strange situation. "
Damn, the labyrinth...!? There's a labyrinth in the woods that's causing anomalies.
Besides, it's a pretty troublesome substitute for Marignant, no matter what I think...
