Chapter 093. is it a dream

the next day.

The group left the Black Citadel early in the morning as planned.

Aaron and Nesti, Raast, Raven, and the Ghost Battalion.

Many bureaucrats objected to the escape of the core force of the shadow forest, saying it was dangerous, but their position was greatly weakened by the treason incident, and when Raven glared at them and said a few words, they became merciless.

“It seems to be colder than when I came out for some reason.”

The southern outskirts of the Shadow Forest.

After passing through the barrier and entering Death Landing, Rhaast pretended to be trembling.

Death Landing before dawn was darker and colder than usual.

The shadow forest is slowly regaining warmth thanks to the revived water of life, but Death Landing is still covered in demonic clouds, and at night, the cold like a knife seeps into your clothes.

“I came out of the barrier. I can’t believe it.”

Raven listened to Raast’s advice and looked around frantically.

“It is an honor to be able to share this moment with the monarch.”

The man following her nodded.

It was Teredal, commander of the Ghost Battalion.

After being confined to the forest for hundreds of years since they were born, the first time they came out was such a desolate sight that they might be disappointed, but the faces of the Dark Elves were full of excitement.

The gray clouds that filled the sky and the yellow earth, where the fire of life was completely extinguished, only looked pretty to their eyes.

“You’ll know it’s all thanks to me.”

“… … ?”

The Dark Elves looked at Nesti, more precisely at her shoulder, at the sudden voice.

A lizard was sitting on Nesty’s shoulder.

The identity of the lizard is none other than Gaos.

Before arriving at Hadman Castle, I couldn’t possess Nesti, so I had to stay in this body for now.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?”

Gaos stood upright at the disapproving gazes of the Dark Elves.

Passing through the shadow forest’s barrier is an advanced skill that only he knows.

After being captured by Aaron, it became nothing more than a voice recognition device, but it is still true that it does not work without him, so you should be grateful.

“Yusei with such a childish thing? I’m in a bad mood, so don’t fidget and stay still.”

Nesty pressed his head down.

Even though she hates reptiles, the sight of a lizard the size of a human forearm wriggling on her shoulder gave her goosebumps.

“If you go to the continent, there will be more things to see.”

Aaron watched Nesty and Gaos scuffle for a while before approaching the Dark Elves.

There are many books that describe the map of the Black Citadel continent and the scenery of each region, but seeing it in a book and experiencing it with your own body were completely different issues.

They were moved even after seeing a wasteland like Death Landing, so if they went to a wider continent, they would be able to feel much richer emotions.

“… … Before Azazel came, this must have been a beautiful place.”

Raven bent her knees and swept the dirt off the floor.

A dead, barren land.

When I opened my hand, the parched soil could not overcome the wind and scattered like dust.

This was originally a fertile land that produced colorful fruits in summer and golden grains in autumn.

Young Dark Elves born after the war have never seen it in person, but old people who lived through that time would sometimes talk about the scenery of this place, missing it.

“That’s why we move like this. If I just kill Azazel, I can bring it back to normal.”

“Will the land that has been polluted by demons for a thousand years be easily restored by killing him?”

“huh. Would a month be enough?”

“one month?”

Raven asked with a surprised face.

Aaron pointed to the light streaming through the shadow forest barrier.

“The fertility of the Hadman estate in the past is purely thanks to that water of life.”

The water of life immediately forms a forest around it when it takes root, and when the forest is finished, it fertilizes the nearby land as well.

That’s why the Hadman estate was able to fill its stomach with fruits and agricultural products.

It’s been a while since I’ve been revived now, so it’s difficult to purify the forest, but if I fully regain my strength, the intelligence in Death Landing will quickly become stronger.

“You always have a plan.”

Raven looked in the direction Aaron pointed for a long time.

From the time we first met until now, what he does has always been full of questions.

Reviving the water of life, giving it to Raven, killing Asram and making her the monarch.

It was a big event for the dark elves, but it was just the beginning for Aaron.

This man saw the forest where the tree would take root when others saw the tree.

When the Dark Elves rejoiced that the water of life was revived, they even thought about the impact it would have on the future.

“What the hell is the future you see?”

Raven’s eyes returned to Aaron.

Her eyes, which had been just cold, now mingled with a little awe and curiosity.

“… … freedom.”

After thinking for a while, Aaron answered briefly.

“freedom?”

Raven, expecting a plausible answer, twitched her eyebrows at the sound of catching a floating cloud.

“There is such a thing.”

Aaron laughed bitterly and shook his head.

Who can believe that he is actually a stranger from the outside world and is struggling to escape from here.

“You will understand it naturally over time.”

Aaron pulled out a map, leaving Raven’s curious gaze behind.

While laughing and chatting, the party was quite far from the barrier.

In a situation where thousands of monsters are running toward the forest, moving openly like this is like asking to be eaten.

Now is the time to go our separate ways.

“Raast. Take good care of the saintess.”

“Is it possible? Be careful too, my lord.”

“I wish you luck. everyone.”

[-Am I just being treated as nothing?]

When Aaron only greeted Nesti and Raast, Gaos grumbled, flicking his tongue.

In fact, he was no different from the key figure in this operation, but he was treated as a tool for infiltration, even though he could not receive thanks or encouragement, so it was very sad.

“Hey, our Gaos. Were you sad that I didn’t say hello?”

Aaron stroked his head with a caring face.

“Ha, don’t! Don’t do it!”

Gaos, who was bewildered with his forelimbs, almost fell to the ground and eventually gave up his resistance.

‘Damn it.’

He was always the one who couldn’t even get his money back while trying to build up his useless pride.

“kyung! Wait!”

three days later Somewhere west of Death Landing.

Nesti, who was running across the endless desolate land, pulled the reins and slowed down.

“The fog is too thick. How about taking a short break?”

A thick fog that had suddenly started a while ago was obstructing the view.

According to Gaos, they would arrive at their destination after a while, but it was too risky to ignore the fog and continue moving.

“I was just about to tell you.”

Rhaast, who had been leading, stopped talking as if he had waited, then returned to Nesty.

I don’t know how long this fog will last, but for now, it seemed better to monitor the situation than to move.

widely! widely!

With a familiar motion, Nesty drove a stake into the ground and tied the horse to it.

Then I sat down on a cloth and looked up at the sky.

“Is it day or night now?”

“Um, well.”

Rhaast looked around for a while and then said with a puzzled face.

“Looking at it getting darker and colder than before, it seems to be night.”

The sky in Death Landing was covered with purple gray clouds, day or night, making it difficult to tell the exact time.

It was just a rough guess based on the brightness and temperature that varied from moment to moment.

“Maybe during the day. It’s hard to guess now because of the fog.”

“If there was a sun, this fog would quickly dissipate.”

“That’s right.”

Raast took firewood from the horse’s back pack, piled it up, and started a fire.

Until now, he had refrained from lighting a fire in case the undead roaming Death Landing could find out about it, but it seemed like he wouldn’t have to worry about being caught in such a thick fog.

“Gaos. How long do you have left?”

Nesty asked as she watched the fire rise.

Gaos had come all the way here and showed an unchanging annoyance, but he was a very good guide because he knew the topography of Death Landing.

“… … .”

Gaos had no answer.

A little while ago, I felt something wiggling in my shoulder, which was strange.

“Is he sleeping?”

Raast, who returned to his seat after lighting the fire, pointed at her shoulder.

Gaos was sleeping soundly, using the soft hair that fell near his shoulders as a blanket.

“hey.”

Nesty immediately grabbed him and brought him in front of him.

“Keck! Why, why are you doing this!”

“Why is this? Did you know that I gave you a ride on my shoulder to sleep on?”

“Are you asleep? Who do you think slept! My eyes were wide open!”

Gaos struggled and shouted as if he was really unfair.

Nesty ran her hand through the hair he was covering with a blanket.

The thick saliva came out from how deep I slept.

“hahahaha.”

She laughed and pulled out an unburnt stick from the fire.

Then, sharpening the tip of the stick, he looked at Rhaast.

“kyung. Do you like grilled lizards?”

“A grilled lizard? don’t like it I ate a lot as a snack when I was a kid. The soft and chewy taste is excellent.”

“Your shoulders are so warm that I only slept for a while. Is that a big sin?”

Gaos quickly lowered his tail at Nesty’s sad eyes.

If I kept pretending, I felt like that skewer would get stuck in my butt any minute.

“… … I’m going to say that sooner or later. Now that it’s done, let me know how much is left until the castle.”

When Nesty heard the truth, she put him down on the floor, feeling a little relieved.

“Fly.”

Gaos floated up to a high place with flying magic and came back down after a while.

“It’s hard to see because of the fog, but if you go about half a day now, you’ll see the outline of the castle.”

“It’s really not long.”

Half a day is only a few hours away.

But going through the fog would have taken longer than that.

“How about camping here at all?”

Rhaast pointed to the tied horses and said.

“The horses are tired of running without rest today, so I’m going to sleep while waiting for the fog to clear. By the time you wake up, the fog will have lifted.”

“That’s a good idea, too.”

Nesty nodded happily.

The two of them had been running nonstop for the past three days, except when they were sleeping.

Occasionally, when the horses showed signs of exhaustion, they were restored with the power of light, but that was also the limit.

Since the destination was not far away, it was good to keep the horses and the party in the best condition.

“Gaos. We’ll sleep well, so keep an eye on your surroundings.”

“If you doze off this time, I’ll cut off your limbs and bake them and eat them.”

Nesti and Raast, who each pulled out their sleeping bags, threatened Gaos who was warming the campfire and went to bed.

“These quirky things. Just get your body back. my sure… … .”

“what?”

“… … didn’t say anything go to sleep.”

Gaos, who was muttering to himself, hurriedly shut his mouth when he saw Raast with his head raised.

“… … hot.”

how much time has passed

Nesty opened her eyes to the searing heat she felt on her skin.

I turned my head to where I felt the heat, and I saw the head of a large dog with bright red flames wrapped around it like a mane.

three of them too.

“… … Is it a dream?”

Nesty looked at it with sleepy eyes and muttered blankly.

Only I am immune to magic
