Chapter 078. But what about that?

The search for followers who followed Asram and the elders was done quietly and quickly.

Numerous high-ranking officials and Commander Camar’s forces residing in the monarchy.

About a hundred Dark Elves who commanded the Black Citadel fell on their knees in front of the shining water of life.

Even though they knew that the Lord and Elders were hiding something, they were blindly loyal and disturbed the eyes and ears of the Dark Elves.

Ignored the tragedy of a thousand years and chose personal comfort.

Those who knew shame bowed their heads, and those who did not confessed their innocence, saying they were innocent.

[-You are the death penalty.]

The clamor glared at them, and Raven gave the verdict.

Each follower cried out for forgiveness with reasons, but no mercy.

[-Execute.]

She left no seeds of unhappiness.

The troops received the order and rushed in unison, taking the lives of their followers.

A few of them desperately fled, using racial vision, but they too were caught and beaten to death by the vast crowd surrounding them.

[-You’re a bit better than my father.]

Gaos stuck in Aaron’s chest rolled his eyes and said.

He had been unconscious for a while after the fight, and had just come to his senses.

[-No blood or tears.]

Hearing everything from Aaron, he clucked his tongue at the execution ceremony in front of him.

Dark elves value the lives of their kind and do not impose the death penalty.

Even that Asram had many times killed strangers who crash landed on it, but hardly ever killed Dark Elves.

But Raven was different.

She didn’t just watch the execution proceed, she chased and killed the fleeing guys herself.

“Who knows if there’s another guy out there who’s been dating Azazel? You didn’t even know that Asram was a Death Knight.”

said Aaron.

Azazel, Grand Duke of the Demonic Realm, is nicknamed ‘the cunning one’.

He didn’t even tell Gaos, who was in charge of his resurrection ritual, the truth about the Shadow Forest.

It was an insurance policy in case Gaos betrayed her, even if it was one in a thousand, one in ten thousand.

With that level of cunning, there was a high possibility that he had another henchman hidden in the Shadow Forest besides Asram.

[-… … .]

Gaos stopped talking.

As Aaron said, he did not even dream that Asram had an affair with Azazel.

Azazel would do anything for the sake of resurrection, so it wouldn’t be strange if he hid other henchmen besides Asram.

Wasak!

As I looked down at the quiet Gaos, I suddenly heard the sound of biting something next to me.

Rhaast was eating an unidentified purple fruit with its skin intact.

“Where did you get that again?”

Aaron tilted his head.

Rhaast murmured and pointed to a tree next to him.

“Here you go.”

After the water of life was revived, the plants that had regained their green color began to bloom and bear fruit in the blink of an eye, as if they were being compensated for their time.

The fruit he is eating now was also picked from the tree of the monarchy.

“Do you know what it is and eat it carelessly? What if I was poisoned?”

“Ah, please. The taste is good. What? There’s no way we planted so many poisonous fruit trees in the monarchy.”

Rhaast shrugged and continued chewing and swallowing the fruit.

As he said, the tree bearing this fruit was planted throughout the monarchy.

Seeing that the delicious juice flowed and the fragrant smell spread with each bite, it seemed that there was really no poison.

“Then I want to try one too. Would it be okay if I picked one more?”

“We are the heroes who saved the Shadow Forest. Even if you eat all the fruits here, they have nothing to say.”

In response to Nesty’s question, Raast said as if it was not a big deal.

Gaining confidence from those words, Nesty swallowed her saliva and reached for the fruit.

“It’s a Shadow Forest specialty called Purpleberry. Grind it, extract the juice, boil it, and use it as an ingredient for making alcohol.”

Aaron looked at him and said.

From noble mtl dot com

Nesty took a bite from the fruit she had just picked, then paused and looked at him.

“Ingredients for making sake?”

“yes. It should never be eaten raw. If you just eat it because it tastes good, your stomach will be completely upset… … .”

“Wow!”

Before the explanation was finished, Rhaast covered his mouth, turned his back, and regurgitated the fruit he ate.

“Did you see it?”

“… … yes.”

Nesty carefully set down the fruit in her hand with a terrified face.

“Ugh… Please tell me a little bit earlier… Whoa!”

“Why are you blaming me after you ate it? Didn’t your mother teach you not to pick up and eat strange things?”

“Ouch… saintess. me… … .”

“Ah yes.”

Nesti quickly raised her divine power in response to Raast’s request for rescue.

Rhaast vomited several times even after she gave her strength, but then regained his composure.

“Wicked Dark Elves, planting these poisonous plants without any fence? Lord. This must be a ploy to poison us. Interrogate Raven immediately… … .”

“It’s ugly, so stop it.”

“yes.”

Rhaast scratched his head shyly and covered the purple liquid he spilled with dirt.

“Touching things without the owner’s permission is punishable.”

After destroying the evidence, someone approached the party.

Rhaast made a sullen expression.

“Noisy. It’s embarrassing enough, so stop it.”

“I’m glad I’m not ashamed.”

Raven smiled and looked at the soil Rhaast had covered.

It seemed like he had seen it all.

“Are you done?”

Aaron asked.

Looking over my shoulder, I saw soldiers carrying the bodies of the executed on their backs, going somewhere.

“okay. I intend to burn them all.”

Raven nodded.

She clearly remembered the moment when Ashram, who had cut his own throat, came back alive and well.

It was better to make sure that it was dealt with until the very end, since it could happen again if he had been in contact with Azazel.

“good. First of all, I put the first button well.”

Aaron put on a happy expression.

Raven had the qualities of a great monarch.

He did what he had to do without being told, so it didn’t seem like there was any need to step out and fuss.

“Even though the water of life has matured, it will take two weeks for the forest to be completely purified. In the meantime, you have to hold onto Black Citadel.”

The followers executed today were the heart of the Black Citadel.

Since the rotten heart was cut out, a new heart had to be built around Raven to restore the city to normal.

“I am ashamed to say it with my own mouth, but there are many followers of me in the city. If we fill the empty seats with them, the city operation will be fine.”

“okay. you’ve got it all figured out I was just talking about old age.”

“What are you going to do now? As you said, it seems difficult to support troops for two weeks.”

After recovering the water of life, Raven promised to help purify Death Landing by mobilizing all of Black Citadel’s forces.

However, it was difficult to mobilize troops right now, with Asram and other leaders all dead.

“If you wish, I will arrange a suitable space for you to rest. They serve more delicious food than purple berries.”

Raven looked at Raast while saying that.

Raast glared at her with a poop-chewed expression.

“Well, what do you say when you ate one fruit? If I ate two, I would have run away from my throat.”

“If you had eaten two, you would have died on the spot.”

“Ebebebe.”

Raast covered his ears as if he couldn’t hear and made a strange sound.

Aaron saw it and laughed.

“Thank you for your heart, but we have somewhere else to go.”

“Where are you going?”

“huh. My hero wants to go home.”

“If you are a hero… Are you talking about Oberyn?”

“yes.”

Aaron nodded.

Raven’s face hardened gradually.

“Isn’t his hometown Death Landing? Are you going there now?”

She knew what Oberyn had lived and where he had died.

Oberyn returned to her hometown, which was in ruins after the Great War ended a thousand years ago, where she spent the rest of her life.

No one knows what kind of life he spent before he died after returning to his hometown, but considering the hellish environment of Death Landing, he would never have lived a comfortable old age.

“Why don’t you just take a break and come with us?”

Raven hinted at the intention of dissuading him.

No matter how strong Aaron’s party was, going now wasn’t a good choice.

Even if it took a while, it was better to go with the Black Citadel’s forces to be safe.

“no. That’s too inefficient.”

But Aaron was adamant.

Death Landing is by no means a small territory.

Oberyn’s hometown is on the opposite side of Azazel’s tomb, but it was too much to lose to go back and forth with the Dark Elf forces.

Moreover, Azazel could have noticed if so many Dark Elves appeared in a territory that had only undead.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back in two weeks.”

“is it so. Raven. I am there.”

Nesty added to Aaron’s words.

When the saintess of the Sephiroth is around, miscellaneous undead roaming around Death Landing cannot even approach.

If it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t have even said this in the first place.

“If I say more, it will only hurt my mouth.”

Raven looked at Nesty for a while and then nodded.

“If you need anything, tell me now. There will be nothing in that barren land.”

* * *

Preparations for departure were carried out in an instant.

Three horses, various food, equipment necessary for camping, clothes, etc.

Raven provided most of what Aaron asked for.

“I didn’t know there would be words. Can I really give you this?”

Aaron asked, looking at the majestic black horses.

It is extremely difficult to raise livestock in the shadow forest where not a single blade of grass grows.

Of course, I thought there would be no such thing as a horse, but when I brought such a healthy black horse, I was amazed.

“Even in the Shadow Forest, grass grows. These guys are our bred breed.”

Raven said in a proud voice.

Plants in the Shadow Forest contain demonic energy, and if eaten by an ordinary beast, nine out of ten will die.

However, the Dark Elves have bred several beasts, including horses, for the day of liberation that will come one day.

Up until now, he had lived only for ornamental purposes and ate food, but now he should be able to fulfill his duty.

“Purrule!”

“Pureuk!”

The horses galloped wildly, as if they knew they could run now.

Just by listening to their breathing, you could tell how strong they were.

“thank you. I will write well.”

The party thanked Raven and her retainers and mounted their horses.

“Come back alive.”

Raven said goodbye in simple words.

Aaron nodded and took the reins.

“See you in two weeks.”

After leaving the Black Citadel, the group headed south.

The tree of life had already reached the outskirts of the city and was dyeing the shadow forest green.

The monsters remaining in the forest fled to the outskirts of the forest, where demonic energy still remained, avoiding the rapidly spreading power of the water of life.

However, even that would be purified soon, so after two weeks, the land where the monsters were standing would completely disappear.

“Comfortable and nice.”

The party rode their horses leisurely, smelling the fragrant grass.

After only smelling the musty smell of an old underground warehouse, I even felt that my body felt clean when I smelled this scent.

“uh… Lord. But what about that?”

Raast, who had been driving without much thought, raised his hand as if he had suddenly realized something.

Only I am immune to magic
