119 – Enemies everywhere (7)

“I have one thing to ask you.”

Tyria swallowed her saliva nervously.

“You’ll probably get a lot of warning when you get to the village.”

An unknown outsider. Colleagues imprisoned.

It looks suspicious no matter who sees it. They expect to be warned by the elves.

But that wasn’t the only meaning of Tyria’s words.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but we also have a little bit of a situation… It’s confusing.”

I already know all the episodes of Hellwood Forest.

I’ve already heard a rough explanation from Yulia, so it won’t be too different from what I expected.

And he was well aware of the pain and suffering that Tyria would face in the future.

I checked Tyria’s complexion with a sidelong glance.

Eyes trembling with fear. Tight lips. Shoulders hunched over.

The decision to bring me and Erina to the Elf Village is solely Tyria’s responsibility.

If we did anything wrong, even Tyria could not escape criticism.

“Don’t worry. We will be quiet.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

I firmly held Erina’s hand.

From now on, if you enter the village of elves, there will be many eyes on you.

We had to stop Erina from committing her sudden actions.

“hehehe…”

Actually, the person in charge is holding my hand and smiling.

“Erina. Did you hear You must never make a fuss in the village.”

“I know. If they don’t move first, I’ll stay still.”

“Yes. Please.”

In the Capital, Norton Village, and Helen Village.

Erina had a history of causing accidents, big or small.

At least it was quiet in Tarn Village, but it was only for two days.

Now was the time to keep an eye on Erina the most.

As we headed further into the forest, darkness began to come.

By the time the sunlight penetrating through the dense forest faded, a blue glow began to color the surroundings.

‘The Light of the World Tree.’

An idol worshiped and praised by elves. A sacred tree that possesses enormous magical power.

The blue light emitted by the World Tree was changing the surrounding air.

‘I want to leave it as a picture.’

If a place like this existed in the real world, wouldn’t it have become a worldwide tourist attraction?

Even beautiful elves live in hiding, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.

I was able to confirm that the rumors about the elves were not exaggerated.

‘If Celica had come with me, I would have watched it in awe.’

Celica looked around her with bright eyes, unable to keep her mouth shut.

It was a bit of a pity that I couldn’t see her innocently exclaiming.

But unfortunately, she didn’t have much time to look at the scenery.

“I have arrived. Welcome to the Elf Village.”

As soon as Tyria finished speaking, a mysterious landscape came into view.

Blue lights and lights. Bright wild flowers and grass.

And a tree house built on trees.

I was able to see with my own eyes the civilization of the elves living in harmony with nature.

“Awesome. It is a beautiful town.”

Although I had seen it before in the game, it was completely different from what I saw on the monitor.

When I left her honest review, Tyria smiled lightly.

“First, I’ll guide you to the guard post.”

Fortunately, there were not only tree houses in the elven village. There were also ordinary houses built on the land.

From noble mtl dot com

Among them, a tree house with a considerable scale.

There were dozens of elves gathered in the building where numerous weapons were displayed.

“What, what… ?”

“Human! Human!”

“Mrs. Tyria! Could they be humans!”

The more I moved, the more the murmur around me started to get worse.

Tyria stepped forward and began calming her allies.

“Everybody calm down and move these kids to jail first.”

Among the elves who were with us, there were those whose whole bodies were bound.

Colleagues who have already been brainwashed by the demon army. Even though it wasn’t voluntary, I couldn’t leave it alone.

Tyria quickly began giving instructions to her allies.

“Eloah. I’ll ask her colleagues. Annie soothes her surroundings and her Nora calls her sisters.”

Fortunately, thanks to Tyria’s order, the uproar didn’t grow.

Meanwhile, I held onto Erina’s hand just in case.

“Erina. Come on.”

“Yes. All right.”

Erina, meekly embraced in my arms, was wary of her surroundings.

They were fighting like a puppy seeing a stranger.

If the elves approached even slightly, they would immediately rush to bite them.

I lightly stroked her hair to calm her down.

“It may be inconvenient, but please bear with it. Then I’ll compliment you when we’re alone.”

“Chi, a compliment… ? Really?”

“Yes. So please be quiet for now. Got it?”

“Yes! I will be really quiet!”

Of course, you can’t go beyond just words of praise.

Erina was ecstatic with an expectant expression on her face.

While I was calming Erina, Tyria calmed her down and led her to her guard post.

The interior of the building was plain. A large table and chairs. There was nothing except for a bookshelf piled with documents.

When the door of the request office was closed, only four people were left.

I. Erina. Tyria. And a stunned Lucas.

The first person to speak was Tyria.

“I’m sorry. Humans have rarely come to the elven village.”

“It’s okay. Because I already expected it.”

There was a more important story than that.

Lucas still faints and can’t wake up.

I had to find out the truth as soon as possible.

“Are there elves who can use seduction?”

“… To be honest, not all elves can use seduction.”

Very few among elves. A rare magic that only those with talent can use.

There were several scouts who could be called elite soldiers, but even they were brainwashed.

In the end, we had no choice but to wait for the other members of the scouting party to arrive.

“Then we must protect Lucas.”

“There is a prison in our town too…”

“No. We’ll monitor it ourselves.”

I felt sorry for Tyria, but she couldn’t trust the elves.

A traitor is hiding in the village right now.

If Lucas escaped with their help, a catastrophe could have happened.

Tyria also nodded her head obediently because she knew that fact.

“Okay. But there is one thing I want to tell you.”

I looked around nervously. Of course, there was no one but us.

At least it seemed to catch the fainting Lucas, but he soon came closer to me.

“Actually…”

The moment she carefully leaned over and continued her words in a small voice,

“Tyria!!”

A deafening roar and a roar came from the wooden door.

The person who entered through the tattered door was an elf. She was, above all, a woman with a ferocious impression.

Hearing her screams, Tyria’s body trembled.

She was terrified as her eyes met with her opponent at the same time, and her face went pale.

“Oh, sister! Wait for a sec…!”

“Wait a minute!”

The woman strode forward and pulled Tyria by the ear.

Tyria tried to back away from her with her delicate screams, but she couldn’t help it.

“Ah, it hurts…! Let go…!”

She didn’t fall down just by looking at it, but she didn’t seem willing to let go of her ears.

“Are you thinking right now or not! What if you bring a human to the village!”

“Sister, for now, let me tell you… !”

Despite Tyria’s earnest request, the woman pulled her ear without mercy.

Maybe it’s because Tyria already knows her own mistakes. Although she was in pain, she didn’t want to get out.

How much time has passed. By the time Tyria’s screams had died down, she had managed to let go of her hand.

“Haaa…”

She is a woman who sighs deeply in frustration.

Rough, sharp eyes shot me up and down.

As soon as I saw her, I was able to instantly recognize her true identity.

A member of Tyria’s family and one of the leaders of Hellwood Forest.

Chloe appeared in front of us.

“Sister… Just listen to me…”

Tyria kept an eye on her, clutching at her red, swollen ears.

At Tyria’s words, Chloe’s voice rose again.

“You keep quiet.”

“Ha, but…”

Chloe calmly looked around and then came in front of us.

‘How will I react?’

I hoped that there would be no threatening attitude.

As soon as she arrived at the elven village, she wanted to avoid the situation where Erina ran out of control.

Fortunately, Chloe bowed her head in front of us.

“I heard that you are a member of the reconnaissance team. Is that right?”

“Yes. My name is Seohyun. This is Elina.”

Chloe looked at us with a puzzled expression and nodded her head.

Fortunately, I don’t think they have any intention of kicking out uninvited guests.

“First of all, nice to meet you. I am the chief of Hellwood Forest. My name is Chloe.”

“And my sister…”

The greeting ended with Tyria’s light comment.

In an atmosphere full of tension, I was just sitting in a chair.

After the greeting, Chloe couldn’t take her eyes off us while there was a light silence.

“…Not like normal people.”

Did I read Erina’s energy in my arms?

Chloe was also an excellent warrior, so there was no way she would miss a kill.

“First of all, I’m sorry. My brother has done a very disrespectful thing.”

“No. We came all the way here because of our own circumstances.”

Chloe greeted us very politely.

As befits the village chief, the representative of the elves, there was no sign of surprise when they saw us.

However, he couldn’t hide his complicated expression.
