Only I Am Immune to Magic

Chapter 065. we are not guilty

“Is there really the water of life here?”

Raven tilted her head and asked.

The place where Aaron’s party led her was not the place where the water of life used to be, but the lake where the stone statue of Garrond was standing.

“exactly. It is buried under that stone statue.”

Aaron pointed to the broken stone statue of Garrond.

a thousand years ago.

Garlond rescued a small branch from the ashes of the water of life and hid it here.

It was with the hope that descendants in the distant future would discover the eggplant and grow the tree of life again.

Because of the fear of falling into the clutches of demons, this fact was only known to a very few.

The current Lord of the Shadow Forest, Asram, was one of them.

Asram, a young man at the time, remained by Garrond’s friend and confidant until his death.

After the war, he desperately resisted the Allied Forces, who accused his people of being traitors, but was eventually sealed in the Shadow Forest along with the survivors.

“I heard about my father’s past. He was a hero no less than Garrond.”

Raven nodded.

“By the way, this is the first time I’ve heard of the water of life. My father never said anything like that. The same goes for the other elders.”

The history of the Dark Elves has already been standardized to the point that a book has already been made.

Since there was a living witness named Asram, there was no doubt about its history.

“Those who directly heard about the water of life from Garrond died after the Great War.”

“I guess so. Because it has been a long time.”

“no. Your father killed them.”

“… … what?”

Raven glared at Aaron.

Aaron looked at her and spoke.

“Asram did not want the story of the water of life to spread. So I killed everyone who knew about it. Except for myself.”

“dog sound. My father couldn’t have done something like that.”

“I hate to believe it, but it is true. Your father was certainly a hero, but after the Shadow Forest was sealed, all hope was lost.”

After the Great War, Asram had his henchman kill everyone who knew about the Water of Life.

And in return, he told his followers the truth about the water of life and enjoyed immortality using that power.

“There have been no heroes in this forest for a long time. Asram now is just the king of the frogs in the well.”

“… … .”

Raven looked down at the Fairy Queen’s tears Aaron had given him.

As I looked at the colorfully shining jewels, all sorts of thoughts came into my head.

Until now, I had believed in the man’s words and actions and followed them as if bewitched, but when I heard about my father, I came to my senses.

‘What am I doing?’

Dark elves instinctively dislike outsiders.

Until now, outsiders who had crash-landed in the Shadow Forest were dragged to the Dark Elf city, regardless of race, where they were executed or forced to live as slaves.

Strangely, however, he did not feel any hostility towards this man named Aaron.

At first, I thought it was black magic, but I couldn’t feel any trace of magic from them.

There is a crystal of black magic called Gaos, but the hostility towards it is separate from Aaron.

‘If this is really true… … Am I ready to handle it?’

She had been dreaming of liberation for a long time and wandering around to find a way.

But when the opportunity came, my feet did not fall.

If there really was a branch of the water of life under that stone statue, if it could free the dark elves, she wouldn’t have the confidence to forgive her father.

“Believe in yourself.”

Aaron’s voice broke his thoughts.

Raven looked up and pointed to the Fairy Queen’s tears.

“The key lies with you.”

“… … Guide me.”

Raven held onto the Fairy Queen’s tears.

Aaron left Nesti on his back with Raast and swam to an island in the middle of the lake.

Raven took a deep breath and followed him.

“To go to the place where the water of life is, we need the blood of a special person.”

“blood?”

“exactly. The blood of those who made this statue.”

Aaron pointed to the footrest of the broken stone statue.

There was a small groove the size of a knuckle on the front of the footrest.

This stone statue is a trick created by Asram and the elders to avoid suspicion.

There was no fear of being found out if they said they would go through a special ceremony, controlled access, and took the power of the water of life.

“Once a month, didn’t the monarch and the elders come here and hold a ceremony?”

“… … It did.”

“There must have been people who doubted it.”

“The words of those who doubted the hero were all the same.”

Raven salivated.

The Lord of the Shadow Forest and the Elders are a living history that went through a great war.

It’s not that no one has ever been suspicious of them, but they’ve all been branded traitors and banished from the city.

“I’m sorry.”

“Where did you get all that information from? Did you receive the blessing of knowledge?”

“Many incomprehensible things happen in the world. Think of me as one of them.”

“… … .”

Raven didn’t ask further.

If you ask me, it’s obvious that you won’t answer.

“How did you get the elder’s blood?”

she changed the subject.

Aaron tilted his head.

“The elder’s blood?”

“Didn’t you say that you need the blood of your father or an elder to move this stone statue?”

“Right. Originally, I intended to infiltrate your city and kidnap the elder.”

“… … It is past tense.”

“It’s past tense. Because of you, I don’t have to take that risk.”

“Is it because of me?”

“okay. Asram’s blood runs through your body. There is no need to stage a kidnapping drama.”

“… … her.”

Raven let out a laugh.

Did this man move after thinking about all these things?

“Are you ready to see the truth?”

Aaron stepped aside from the statue.

Raven looked at Garrond’s stone statue for a while, with only a part of his lower body remaining, then took out his dagger.

Shuk-

When I ran my palm against the footrest, bright red blood dripped down.

Kurrr-

Eventually, as her blood filled the grooves, the stone statue was pushed back, revealing a staircase leading to the basement.

Raven squeezed his bleeding hand tightly.

“Raguz.”

Aaron held her bleeding hand and manifested a rune.

[Healing others will double your sanity.]

[Spirit is reduced by 10%.]

A blue light seeped into her wounds along with a resource draining message.

“… … !”

Raven was startled and shook his hand.

When I opened my fist, I saw a clean palm with only blood stains left on it.

“How did you do it?”

“As I said earlier, there are many incomprehensible things in the world.”

After saying that, Aaron stepped onto the stairs first.

“Follow me.”

* * *

Beneath the stone statue was a long, winding circular staircase.

Aaron quickly descended the stairs, relying on the light of the Life Force vessel embedded in his breastplate.

thump thump thump-

Raven easily followed Aaron’s quick stride.

True to her race name, Dark Elf, she could see through objects even in the dark.

“All are here.”

about an hour after that.

Aaron, who had been walking silently, slowed down.

Finally, the end of the long, long staircase began to appear.

“Is it a door?”

Raven murmured.

After going down all the stairs, I saw a rectangular crack in the bare wall.

There was no handle, but the shape of it made it clear that it was a door.

“Moon.”

Aaron nodded and looked at Raven.

“Do you know what Asram said first when the Allies came to judge the Shadow Forest?”

[-… … We are not guilty.]

Kurrr-

After Raven’s words, the door that hadn’t even moved opened with a heavy sound.

After a while, a soft blue light flowed from beyond the wide open door.

“You take the lead this time.”

Aaron stepped aside by the door.

Raven didn’t hesitate and entered the door.

“… … oh my god.”

Her mouth, which had been blunt all along, opened wide and let out an exclamation.

It was real. there really was

A bare tree branch stuck in a pot the size of a fist.

A faint bluish-white light emanated from a branch that resembled the forearm of a newborn baby.

“This, why is this in a place like this… … I am… … why do we… … sh*t. damn it.”

Surprise, joy, sadness, disgust, anger.

Various emotions crossed her face.

dump-

She knelt down in front of the pot of the water of life and stroked the branch with trembling hands.

It was a scrawny branch, now almost exhausted, but still full of vitality.

“Do you believe me now?”

Aaron looked at him and said.

Raven turned his head away.

“what?”

“Because pretending to be solemn doesn’t suit my temperament. If this is the case, can you calm down?”

“… … .”

Raven glared at him with a puzzled expression.

Just a moment ago, it seemed like he was dealing with an old man who had mastered all knowledge, but when his tone changed, the old man disappeared and a playful boy appeared.

From noble mtl dot com

“Don’t look at me with those eyes and quickly feed me with tears. It looks like it will dry up and die soon.”

Aaron smiled and pointed at the water of life.

The light of the water of life was almost extinguished because of how much they had been exploited by Ashram and the elders.

If left as it is, it would really lose its luster and dry up within a few years.

“Tsk.”

Raven clicked her tongue and pulled out the Fairy Queen’s tears from her bosom.

The jewels that glistened in the light of the water of life were more beautiful than ever.

“You’d better close your eyes.”

Aaron murmured before placing the jewel in the flowerpot.

He really had his eyes closed.

‘I can’t adapt.’

Raven grumbled inwardly and placed the jewel in a flower pot. It was then.

Wow!

The Fairy Queen’s tears went into the flowerpot, and a dazzling flash burst out of the water of life.

“Ugh!”

The light was so strong that even if you blocked your eyes with your hand, it would pierce your skin and reflect through your bones.

However, it only dazzled for a moment, and as time passed, the pain in the eyes disappeared and warm energy filled the small room.

“You can open your eyes.”

Aaron came over and tapped her on the shoulder.

Raven sighed and opened his eyes.

The number of life, which used to be the size of a baby’s forearm, has grown to the size of an adult’s forearm.

The small potted plant, unable to withstand the weight and size, staggered as if it would fall at any moment.

“Uh… … !”

“What are you looking at?”

While Raven panicked, Aaron snatched the water of life.

After extracting the water of life from the pot, he shook the soil from the roots.

Then, the roots that had not been able to stretch out were gradually spread out.

“ruler.”

He handed the drawn water of life to Raven.

Raven looked at the water of life in her hand with a bewildered expression.

“Can I leave it like this? Without pots… … .”

“Of course not. But since I fed it with the Fairy Queen’s tears, it’ll last for a few days. You can take me home in it.”

“Are you taking me home?”

“huh. Where he used to be.”

Aaron nodded.

The place where the water of life takes root is the source of life created by gathering the energy of the surrounding land.

Even if you plant it in normal land, it will not grow, so if you want to grow more than this size, you have to plant it in the original place.

“Should I just leave? Or do you need more time?”

Aaron asked with a smile.

Raven, who was looking down at the water of life as if possessed, cleared his throat lightly and corrected his expression.

“Hmm. Get out right away.”

“good.”

The two of them got out of the narrow room where the water of life was and started climbing the stairs again.

It took much longer to go up than to go down, but for some reason it didn’t feel difficult at all.

“I can see why Ashram hid the water of life.”

About halfway up, Aaron looked back and said.

The vitality of the water of life breathed endless vitality into the two.

The elders, including Asram, must have been intoxicated with this power and committed immoral acts.

“Whoa, it’s finally here.”

Another hour or so later.

Finally, the first entrance came in front of my eyes.

“be careful. If you trip, you can’t even pick a bone.”

Aaron, who came up first, reached out his hand to Raven. It was then.

“Aaron! back!”

The sound of a sharp wind was heard along with someone’s scream.

Aaron gritted his teeth and stood in front of Raven.

Caga River!

Three large arrows hit his back armor and ricocheted off.

“… … It looks like you came up too late.”

Raven muttered with a distorted face.
