The Beginning of Swordsmanship (4)

"No circles?"

Ale and Sein were puzzled.

what is a circle

It is the most important thing to being a wizard.

Mana rots when stagnant.

In order to prevent it, a circulatory system called a 'circle' was created in the body.

Circle is a circle that keeps returning the mana locked in the body so that it does not stagnate.

But what if that important circle isn't there?

In that case, the mana cannot be locked in the body, so of course, magic cannot be used either.

The more this circle, the more mana you get and the more you can spin it more actively, and the mana that receives a lot of rotation will naturally have more activity. it is a theory

"There are literally no circles. I don't need circles to draw and spend mana."

However, what he is talking about right now is nonsense.

Wizards use magic without circles.

It was comparable to the fact that a saint had no divine power.

"•••Well. I still don't quite understand."

"I don't understand either. You need a circle to draw mana. Because Mana Road itself is connected to the Circle in the first place."

"At that point, my mana rod is different from normal wizards • Normal mana rod is made to meet the circle so that it shoots mana with the strongest rotational force quickly, right?"

"right. If the mana rod is away from the circle, the mana, which has weakened due to the return of the mana rod, will be consumed to cast magic. If that happens, the destructive power will be significantly reduced... ...

Sein, a wizard, was well versed in that area. But Ray shook his head and said.

"I usually think that the more mana active, the stronger it is, but it is not. Mana in its pure state is the strongest. The mana floating in the air and the mana contained in all things is enough to be a weapon by itself."

Even while listening to his explanation, Sein did not believe it easily.

The knowledge of mana she knew had been ingrained in her head for nearly 30 years.

In addition, Sein himself thinks that he understands mana to some extent.

The pure mana that Rey was talking about was understandable, but I couldn't understand why it was stronger than the mana with rotational force added.

After reading Sein's thoughts, Rey stretched out her hand in front of her and said,

"Mom. Would you like to push mana out of here?

It feels like it pushes away my mana."

"Yes? yes."

"Raise the rotational force and release it at once/'

Sein spoke with a bit of concern at Ray's words.

"If you do that, you will fly backwards... ...

"Don't worry about me and do it;

Sein seemed to be muttering that she was cute as she watched Rey urging her with her hands clasped, but then she raised her mana as Rey instructed.

Riding her mana rod and reaching the circle, the mana spins fiercely around the circle. Seeing this, Rei felt the back of her neck getting cold.

'As expected, mom... . I don't know how many circles there are, but that's a lot of pressure.'

I didn't feel it because Sein was usually playful and not very angry, but she will be called a first-class wizard in the world.

If she wasn't a first-class wizard, I can't even imagine how powerful there are out there.

The strong energy of Sein was pushed into his mana.

Kwagwagwang-

A huge amount of mana poured out around Rey with a roar.

She feared that Rey would be blown away in the aftermath of the mana crash, so she immediately cast a spell to protect him.

In spite of Sein's help, Rei easily blocked Sein's mana.

Instead of flying backwards, he even scattered his mana in the same way as the first time with his arms outstretched.

Ray slowly raised her head and said.

"It's much more efficient to use pure mana rather than mana with added rotational power, and it's also stronger."

Rei, who spoke, did not look difficult at all.

Sein's pupils shook briefly.

It wasn't power, but it contained quite a lot of power.

He expected that Rey would block his mana, but he didn't think it would be so easy to block it.

I didn't know it until recently, but I only found out after meeting Rey and Mana.

'Certainly, Ray may be right.'

Ray's words were so specific and well-organized that it was hard to believe that they were spoken by a fifteen-year-old boy.

Besides, it has been proven through experiments.

With the series of processes and results, even he himself was convinced by Ray's opinion.

It's absurd, but there may come a day when you can use magic without a circle.

Ray raised a finger as if it wasn't just one thing, and then continued the conversation.

"The power of mana is strong - and purer mana is denser than non-mana. Naturally, the mana with high density is strong."

Then he began to wrap mana on the finger he had heard.

"To increase cutting power with such mana, simply increasing the density of mana is enough. Like this."

As his fingers moved along with his words, the teacup began to peel like fruit.

square- square-

Although the glass was being cut, Sein was slightly surprised by the smooth cut.

What I'm showing you now is not magic.

It was created by controlling mana, so to speak, something like a sword aura.

His mana, which is high in density, basically has a very strong cutting power when making a blade.

Rei said as she carefully set the teacup with the well-sharpened skin down.

"But in the case of explosive power, the higher the density, the higher the destructive power. Of course, adding rotational power doesn't make mana stronger."

Sein thought for a moment with her hand on her chin and then nodded.

"I see. Now I understand."

"Yeah, but I still don't understand that you don't need a circle to cast your spells."

"That's because I made a special mana rod that is different from others."

"Did you make it different from others?"

"Then what if something happens... ...

Ale said worriedly.

To be sure, Mana Road is to create a place that draws in the qi of the body.

If a problem arises in such a place, there is no question of what will be fatal.

In fact, in the past, there were some wizards who made their own way without using the commonly known method for Mana Lord, but there were records that they could not use magic, became a bad person, or vomited blood.

However, this happened due to misinformation or lack of information.

It took a highway-like concept to understand how it worked and how to make it most efficient.

Divide the center lane and divide the road so that the flowing mana does not collide.

It was impossible for others, but he had medical knowledge.

That is why he was able to create mana rods by comparing them to blood vessels.

He was a little worried because he had such a clear idea, but in theory there was no problem, so he tried it.

Ray accepted Ale's concerns with a smile.

"It's not going to happen. I think there are probably no more problems than the existing Mana Road."

Hana Sein and Ale couldn't accept the words, smiling at them.

Creating a mana road is not something anyone can do.

When it comes to magic, it is the pioneering of a new mana road that even these people who are called one of the greatest workers fail.

Therefore, the wizard who succeeded in pioneering such a mana road was showing the form of creating a family and passing it on only to the direct heirs of the family as a vision.

What is certain is that there is no guarantee that it will be better than the existing Mana Road just by making a Mana Road.

There wouldn't be many wizards who dared to take that risk.

Because you only have one precious life.

Just by looking at it, you can see just how daring Rey was.

Ale thought about what Rey had said.

'I feel mana after 3 months, and then I will pioneer a mana road... ... . At the very least, it is said that he made it when he was four years old... Is that possible?'

Because it was possible, the current Rey may be using magic, but still, isn't it too much?

Ale wanted to point his finger at the sky.

No matter how genius he is, he has a degree. I want the sky to keep the baseline of genius.

"If it were you, then it would be... . So you mean that you can use magic without a circle because of that special mana load?"

"yes. The way wizards do their magic now is to keep mana locked in their bodies."

Rey drew in mana while talking. Mana floating in the air made it too much through his body.

When he drew in mana so that the people could notice it on purpose, he drew a large amount at once and turned it through his body.

Sein, who usually thought that it was 'absorption' to trap mana in her body even when Rey drew in mana, was quite surprised .

"You don't absorb mana!"

Rei nodded as she saw Sein who was happy about the match by clapping her hands.

"Right. I don't absorb mana and store it in my body. My mana lord draws in mana from the air or transforms it as it is to create magic. Of course, I don't need a circle."

"okay... ... . Circle if that's the case

I don't need this... ... •"

He speaks like that, but his face smiles bitterly.

'If I could make such a mana rod,

hey.'

The village of Biló was swarmed with information merchants.

Even so, the author decided to release the money.

The influx of huge amounts of money caught the mouths of information guilds and cancer merchants.

However, there was one thing that no information merchant could find out.

Why is the author trying to find the child?

A young girl from another noble?

The Viscount's Hidden Son?

There were many stories, but none of them were credible.

So, most of the information guilds were putting reverse quests to merchants.

About the child the author is looking for.

If it was an important job that made quite a lot of money, they didn't know if they could do it too late.

Under such circumstances, in the village of Billo, there were a few people wearing hoodies even on a sunny day, and in the dark night, people who looked like adventurers or mercenaries were the main ones.

In fact, most of them were information merchants, dark merchants, and his acquaintances, but for those who didn't know, the town was just a bustling area beyond their imagination.

This was the case with adventurers who came to the village of Billo for tours or commissions.

"Hey. I didn't know this town before, but it must have grown so much?"

"That's it. It wasn't planned, but I can rest here for a while."

As adventurers and mercenaries flocked, the difficulty, amount, and reward of the quests given by the guild naturally increased.

When they informed their guild, who exchanged information with fellow adventurers, more and more people flocked to the village of Billo.

There was no longer the quiet and secluded village of Vilo of the past.

The irony is that the author, who has given money to find Ray, is earning more money than the money he had loosened up when the town was booming.

Moreover, as the influx of commoners and merchants added to the population, the author's power grew stronger day by day.

The population that came and went as much as a small city, and the bosses who came and smelled the money brought in adventurers, and the author was given the power that naturally increased due to the economic power and the growing population.

However, despite such things, I did not know that the author's request would be cancelled.

No, rather, the number of requests increased.

The author could never stop spending money until at least finding him who was a saint.

Episode 14

saint (1)

Ilysia rubbed her eyes and stood up.

These days, she was repeating the routine of sleeping late and waking up late.

At night, I couldn't sleep, and in the morning I didn't want to wake up from my dream.

The reason was Ray.

I was always worried and terrified because of the bad things I had with him.

'I wish I could find it sooner...

If I knew where he was, I could have found him and apologized, but I was not sure where he was.

I searched mainly the villages and even the forest, but it seems that I haven't been able to find it yet.

She sighed heavily .

The guilt she felt at such a young age was too great for her to feel when she was only fourteen.

Currently, there is a saint in the Kingdom of Celia.

After being baptized and educated in the Holy Land, he was traveling around the neighboring countries to gain experience.

The Kingdom of Celia, which was selected as one of them, was treating her with utmost respect.

It is because there was nothing bad about the future if you made a good relationship with the saint.

The kingdom gave a villa to the saint and her companions.

In the annex, Saint Iriel lay her exhausted body on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

Her eyes, who repeat very boring things, such as meeting nobles all day long and taking classes on divine power, were not those of a revered saint.

If I had to compare it, it would be a penguin that collapsed from the heat on a hot day.

Iriel patted her hair on the bed. She was getting tired of her daily life.

She had to go from the Holy Kingdom to the Kingdom of Celia, and also to another realm, but her daily life was only difficult, but she couldn't feel any fun.

Usually, when hard work continues at a young age, they tend to complain.

The position of Hana saint and the people around him were not worthy of a grudge.

Iriel didn't know that.

All he could do was roll around in the room where he was left alone or stir-fry the priests.

However, there has been something interesting about her recently.

It was the emergence of a new saint.

Being a saint in his boring and boring daily life was a light to him.

There was only one person who could understand her position as a saint who had not been able to speak for a while.

The news was like a lifeline, and the saint wanted to hear the news first.

So, when information comes in, the first thing I do is to report it to myself instead of asking for it.

They could not disobey the words of the saint who was called the representative of the gods.

I loved seeing them nodding their heads.

Now she only had to wait for the saint to appear.

I don't need a mana circle 7} . The reason the mana density is high is because, as you said, it draws in pure mana without using circles."

Rey nodded at Ale's words. Ale and Sein understood most of what they were saying.

It's just that it didn't happen in reality, and most of the people who tried it didn't believe it because it was a failure.

Even then, he was very surprised when he proved it by scattering the magical powers of Sein, but the signs of belief were evident.

Ray spoke again.

"That's where I found out why my healing magic failed."

"Are you talking about heels? But you were successful earlier."

When Ale spoke as if puzzled, Rey explained.

"Actually, my magic did not fail. The deer just died because I couldn't handle the density of my mana."

Then Sein clenched his fists as if he knew now.

"ah! So the reason the deer died was because he didn't have a mana rod."

"Half right and half wrong, Mom."

As he tilted his head again as if he did not understand, Ray added an explanation.

"Even if you have a mana load, if you cannot handle it, the mana will flow back and you will die. So my healing magic has to withstand that kind of density."

"Then you mean that a normal person will die if there is no mana load that can withstand the density of your mana?"

"I think so/'

her.

Healing magic that kills people, I hadn't even heard of.

Sein said as if it was amazing.

"You are a really stupid wizard."

"I think so. ha ha ha."

Seeing him scratching the back of his head and talking shyly, Sein sighed.

"Who do you resemble? ... . Thanks for talking though. There was a reason for this in your power you don't know... ...

"Somehow... ... . Then you weren't even an Auror user, were you?"

Ale clashed with his sword and felt that Rey's aura was strange.

However, at that time, I thought it was because it was still the beginning of the Auror users, but after listening to the story, it seemed quite different from the beginnings of the Auror users.

Rey nodded again at those words.

"I am learning the sword itself for the first time. Aurors were created by forcing mana to unite. It's different from the real Sword Auror;

However, Ale was even more surprised by those words.

'I'm not even an Auror user, but it spews out Sword Aurors? Enough to push me too? It was too hard for the mana that was forcibly gathered.'

future , but Rey's growth rate is so frightening that I couldn't even imagine what kind of power he would have when his mana and learning were combined.

It's been two weeks since I told Sein and Ale about my powers.

It seems that the parents also discussed their son's new genius and talked a lot about the future.

There were various opinions such as sending him to the academy, being invited as a professor at the conference, etc., but the discussion ended with Ray's young age, so let's just leave it alone for now.

He also had no complaints.

No, I could have said it was better.

Now, without knowing the medical knowledge of this place, he could not know what kind of disease he had or how well his medicine would work.

It was an unacceptable problem for Ray, who considered his profession to be a doctor.

'The only way to find out is through experience.' Since there was not even a single book on medicine at home, he would have no choice but to look for a library in the village or go to the city.

And now, rather than accumulating knowledge, it is a priority to restore the sense of hand through practice.

For that, I had no choice but to go to the village again.

The next day, Ray headed to the village with a board just like the last time.

However, it was an instantaneous feeling of something strange.

Most people wanted to look at them, and they were muttering openly.

"Isn't that kid over there?"

"He looks young with white hair... ... . Do you think that's right?"

"Is the 'he' that the author is looking for just such a kid? Looking at the clothes I was wearing, I don't think I had much money."

Rey could hear even if she didn't want to because of her hearing, which had become more sensitive due to Mana.

Among them, there were words of curiosity.

'Is the author looking for me? To say thank you, but?'

He was the first person in this world to treat.

Since you brought the dead back to life, it is natural for a human being to feel grateful even if they broke up unhappily.

The extent to which they did the case was not very surprising.

Moreover, Ray does not receive allowances from his parents.

I didn't even ask for pocket money because I didn't want to buy anything in the first place.

But the money given was different.

It is the same in this world that you need money to be able to do something.

Money was needed anytime, anywhere.

'I'm going to give an example as a thank you, but what should I do?

If you refuse by any chance, you will have to accept it because your heart will be mirrorless on that side.'

I was determined never to go near the author again.

But what if it could be an example? I was willing to accept an apology for what happened in the past.

himself , he thought that he was really considerate of others.

He walked towards the crowd that was still in a hurry and couldn't come too soon.

He spoke carefully, giving them two cool coughs to those who looked at him.

"Hey... Am I correct that the author is looking for something?"

Ray thought he had approached others naturally, but they felt embarrassed when the person they thought they were commissioned approached in person .

He looked at Rey quickly, even though he was bewildered.

Judging from what he was wearing, he was wearing leather clothes that looked like they had been repaired at home, and his shoes were also worn out here and there.

He thought with his eyes wide open.

'It certainly doesn't look like a lot of money. Then what makes you a self-writer?'

He has quite a bit of experience in this industry, so he was careful about his tone when talking to Ray because he didn't know the title of 'He' that the author gave him.

"... We don't know the details ... but it probably is."

Ray muttered, 'Of course,' and then nodded.

"Then take me as a self-writer. Let's go see the patient's attitude, well."

"patient? Does the author have any patients?"

"No more."

The man tilted his head at the incomprehensible words.

But Ray, who didn't even care about him, was swelled by the thought of buying several medical books, thinking about the soon-to-be-accomplished fee.

In fact, if I wanted to go, I could have visited by myself, but after that happened, I was a little shy to visit alone.

It would be better to accompany someone suitable.

Unaware of Rei's thoughts, he nodded his head in embarrassment.

'It is inevitable that the client was revealed unintentionally, but it seems that I have an acquaintance with the author.

It'll be fine.'

For information merchants, what information the client bought and what kind of request they made were confidential.

However, it is not the best way to hide it, unless some idiots have been talking about it in front of you.

"Well. I see • I will guide you."

The best course of action here was to take the subject to the client.

The author was distracted by the information from the guild that he had found a quest target.

In front of it, it seemed to be holding a banquet by hastily waiting for servants in the garden and leaving the garden door wide open.

Viscount Gade looked at them busily preparing to receive guests and spoke to the butler.

"Forton, do you really think this will calm the heart of the saint?"

His words were a little skeptical.

Darely, the daughter of a nobleman cursed the saint to die.

Even if the saints and sanctuary forgave, God might be angry.

How dare you say anything to God's agent. It was enough to say that he despised God.

So, it was to welcome the saint on a scale of this size.

Of course, I don't know if the Viscount is a saint or not.

"Wow... what is all this?"

Ray was surprised to see the multitude of people lined up on either side of him.

As soon as he arrived at the artist's garden, he greeted himself and it was safe to say that it was a superb view.

Viscount Gade ran over and knelt down on one knee.

"Welcome, saint."

Naturally, it was Rei's role to be embarrassed when he saw him greet him with the highest respect as a nobleman.

Rey hurriedly grabbed Viscount Gade's shoulder and lifted him up.

"No, why are you here? No matter how much treatment you have given me, I am a commoner... ...

The Viscount shook his head.

"It doesn't even matter. There is no shame in paying tribute to the saint."

"What do you mean by saint?"

As if he didn't know, Viscount Gade swallowed his saliva as he watched Rey asked with his eyes wide open.

'I have to speak well from now on.'

"sorry. Please relieve your anger. We didn't know that at the time, but now we know that the saint is a saint. The sins I have committed will be sweetly accepted, so please give me any orders."

He bowed his head and trembled as he spoke, but Rei was upset.

pounding his chest with a small fist in frustration .

"I am not a saint. So you don't have to do this to me."

Although he spoke with a sincere expression and sincerity, Viscount Gade did not listen and kept his head down.

"How can you say that the one who raised me from the dead is not a saint?"

"So it's just... ... !"

Rei, who was about to retort, had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

Revived by the power of medicine? That doesn't make sense.

There is no such thing as 'medicine' in this world.

However, as in modern times, medicine is a science for the living, and there was no way to bring the dead back to life.

Ray knew that too, so he couldn't think of anything else.

To the people of this world, he was a saint who raised the dead to life.

Ray, who returned to the village to regain his modern sense, became a saint at some point.

Without knowing that God had ordained him as a saint through an oracle.

saint (2)

The intelligence trader who was listening to the conversation was shocked as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a log.

'Stand, saint! The saint who said that he would come to pick me up from the Holy Land would be ..... I'

If the Viscount says that, it is said that the saint is certain.

He looked at Ray again.

At first, the worn-out clothes seemed to be shining, and from behind it seemed to be a halo.

Besides, how about more pure white hair than anyone else?

Knowing that he was a saint and looking at him, he looked different, who had not paid much attention to him just a little while ago.

'This is not the time. You must inform the guild of the appearance of the saint.'

With that in mind, he quietly walked out of his seat.

Rei sighed, not knowing that the man who had been guiding her from the side had disappeared.

"ha. So, I'm not a saint. So don't tell anyone this nonsense, you know?"

"All right! I'll make sure to keep my mouth shut!"

At the words of the loyal Viscount Gade, Rey grumbled a little.

"What is silence... The people next to me will pick me up... ... . Everyone who has already heard it must have heard it."

The Viscount with bright ears could hear all the sounds.

He immediately raised his hand and said.

"Everyone go back to their positions."

With a single word from the Viscount, more than forty servants and servants all began to move.

Not long after, the only servant left around them was the butler, Porton.

Does it mean that the authority of aristocrats is that great?

Ray looked at the Viscount again.

"Son, please come inside."

"You keep calling me a saint. Well, it's not."

"Well then, what should I call you?

"My name is Ray. Feel free to call me by my first name."

"How can you call a saint by name without a title? Please be patient with Rei-sama."

'Ray.'

He just gave his name as 'Sir', but his nails were crumpled enough to pierce the palm of his hand.

But if you refuse this, you will probably have to listen to 'Saint-sama'.

If that's the case, it's better to have your own name.

"•••Then, call me that only when there are only the two of you • When you have eyes to see, just call me by name."

"I will, Ray." The two saw some compromise. Rei, who did not want to be known by people as a saint, even gave the Viscount a new priesthood.

"Never spread strange rumors, because I am not a saint."

Only after hearing the Viscount's answer did Rei feel relieved.

The words of the nobility are not taken lightly. Moreover, even more so in front of the saint.

Viscount Gade took the lead and guided.

"Come this way;

"Wait. who guided me

Ray spoke and looked back.

He had not been with him until recently, and there were only a bunch of gates to the garden.

A bad feeling came over him.

'••• After hearing the conversation that he is a saint?'

For some reason, it seems as if silence is useless.

The information guild would not spread this fact without any profit, but it was safe to say that it was known to those who would be known because of their nature of selling information that could be made money.

"I have no luck today."

For Rey, the title of saint was a moment in line with the meaning of a day of bad luck.

Upon entering the mansion, I was surprised by the completely different scenery from the last time I came.

The lighting in the lobby was illuminating the dark place by emitting a luxurious light, and the red carpet coming down from the stairs was a luxury itself.

"Wow, I thought it was some kind of palace • "

"If there is anything you want, please tell me/'

Ray was slowly starting to wonder.

"Then why are you doing this to me? Are you treating me?"

I understand if you are being treated like this in an honest way to repay the favor.

No matter how noble you are, your life is equally valuable.

Contrary to what he had expected, Viscount Gade shook his head.

Seeing that he couldn't look directly at him with a gloomy expression on his face, something seemed to be wrong with him.

Viscount Gade opened his mouth with difficulty.

"•••sorry. My family has committed a mortal sin."

As he spoke, he lowered his head deeply.

Ray was confused again.

"Oh really. Is it a greeting to say I did something wrong here?"

"That, that... let my daughter die to the saint

"Daughter?"

Rey pondered the difficult words Viscount Gade had said.

Then he also remembered something.

'I'd rather die somewhere!'

A sinister smile appeared on Rei's lips.

"Ah, you mean that kid?"

He smears well on subjects where the age difference is not that much.

Viscount Hana Gade, sweating profusely, only bowed his head more deeply.

To be honest, I tried to play a joke, but the other person came out so serious, I didn't feel like doing it.

I was very angry about it, so I had a lot to say, but it wasn't the Viscount's fault, so I didn't want to argue with him.

A person called the Knights Commander and Ilysia. Even if those two come to apologize.

In the end, it was just a matter of taste.

"Wow... ... . That's Okay. It's not the Viscount's fault. If they're going to apologize, they both have to. But what about the wounds? Are you all right?"

"Oh, yes! He is also a saint. Everything was perfectly fine."

"Oh, well. Can't you stop talking about that saint?"

"Huh, sorry! Saint!"

"•••I should not speak."

Ray spoke and looked around.

Whether it was an aristocratic mansion, expensive paintings and elaborately decorated antique items caught my eye.

'If this is enough for the Viscount, how big is the Earl?'

It's a nice mansion, but the exterior is comparable to a castle.

he was a nobleman under the lord, he would have been able to amass enormous wealth.

After looking around for a while, Ray looked up at the sound of someone coming down the stairs.

There were two men in dresses coming down the stairs.

Wherever the nobleman's unique dignifiedness went, he could see him carefully descending.

They were faces Ray knew too.

'Your wife, Ilysia?'

Perhaps the Viscount had already talked to them, the two of them walking towards this side in well-dressed couldn't face Rei's face.

Chloe came down the stairs, covered her chest with one hand and lifted the dress slightly with the other.

Ilysia, who saw that, also followed in haste.

"Come on, see you, saint."

Seeing Ilysia speaking while shaking her body, Ray also greeted her.

"Hello, and I just want to call you by my first name. That's convenient for me/'

"Well, it can't be."

Chloe said in amazement.

Rey sighed in response to the same stereotyped reaction as Viscount Gade.

However, Viscount Gade wisely arranged the titles.

"Madam, you said you don't like being told that Ray is a saint • So when we're alone, Ray-sama is enough/'

"However.••...

"Because I am not a saint."

Their grunting voice had no effect on their godly title arrangement.

Chloe gave her a silent look, asking how dare you call it that, but Gade Zha shook her head.

In the end, she, too, had to resign.

It must be the first time they dare to call the representative of God by adding a title to their name.

Rey greeted Ilysia as well.

"long time no see? How are you?"

"Hey, Ray! Please speak to me, I am still a child."

"This is convenient."

It was a torment to see Viscount Gade's bizarre movements, expressing his dismay with his whole body.

Rey, who had been looking at Ilysia with great effort, met her eyes.

Seeing this after that happened, awkwardness flooded in. He didn't do anything wrong, though.

As Ilysia was greeted, she answered, shaking like Chloe.

"Yes Yes... ... . Thanks to Ray... Stretch out, take it easy ... ...

Even his eyes were trembling, as if he had suffered quite a bit.

It is like a patient with some kind of disease that is startled every time he says something.

It looked pitiful to me, so I thought it would be okay to look at it from here. Above all, Ilysia at that time was in a state of panic at the death of Viscount Gade, and it was because she was only 14 years old.

Ray looked at him and changed the subject.

"By the way, now that it is known that the Viscount is cured, will the village develop properly? Other nobles will also help: ?"

In Rei's eyes, the appearance of the village he had visited in the past to fix his own son-in-law was quite different from the appearance of the present.

There was a difference in the number of floating populations, and the adventurers guild had developed quite enough to receive constant requests.

Since the village has developed so much, I think that I will be able to meet closely with the lord, and I think that enough goods will come in.

But Viscount Gade shook his head.

"Actually, I didn't tell anyone about my illness except for a few of my own brushes."

As was the case, it was the basic custom to report to the king when a nobleman became ill or near death.

Of course, there are exceptions, but usually a report is made, and the succession of a nobleman is treated as succession to the family again.

Ray had also read several books and knew that fact, so he was puzzled.

The Viscount went on to say:

"There is no one in the Gade family who can carry on the generations now. If I get sick and die... ... . Perhaps the nobles of the neighboring estates will not leave this land unattended."

'exactly... ...

Anyone who listens would think so.

The only child of Viscount Gade was Ilysia.

It didn't make sense that she, who would be an outsider of the family if she got married, would pass on the line.

If Viscount Gade had died then, Ilysia's future would be a marriage of marriage, an excuse for other nobles to eat Viscount Gade.

"After all, it will become known over time, right?"

"It's to earn even that little bit of time . . .

Ray thought as he saw him talking with a friendly smile.

'You did a good job saving it.'

A father's feelings for his children were conveyed to Rei to some extent.

Viscount Gade looked at Ray with a gloomy expression on his face and told Porton to evoke a heavy atmosphere.

"Forton, prepare a meal for me."

"All right. I will have dinner soon." As he spoke, he went somewhere, and all that was left in the lobby were the two knights and the housekeeper's family waiting at one side of the door.

But, except for the two people who only looked at their own eyes and reserved words, Viscount Gade and himself were the only ones talking to each other.

It was arduous to wait for the meal to come out in that slightly awkward atmosphere.

The meal came and Ray was surprised once more. First of all, the size of the dining table opened my mouth.

There must be three people who usually eat, but the table seemed to be enough for 20 people to sit and eat.

Besides, what about the food that comes out?

From one to ten, all the delicious and fragrant foods were at a level that could not be eaten even with expensive money in the market.

So, naturally, exclamation came out.

"Wow•.... "

"I don't have anything set up, but you can eat as much as you want." As usual, a ceremonial greeting came out.

Ray reacted immediately.

"I don't have anything set up! The prize will fall because of the weight of the food."

Rey's gaze was fixed on the food until the moment he spoke.

Seeing that, Ilysia burst into laughter.

"Cook."

As Rey naturally looked at the source of the laughter, Ilysia's face immediately turned blue.

"Sin, I'm sorry...

"no... No need to apologize •••••••

I only looked once and heard the apple twice.

Besides, Chloe, who was listening to the conversation next to her, got tired of the sound of her daughter's laughter.

Ray smiled bitterly as he watched the two of them show a tremendous reaction to each of their actions.

"haha••... . Don't be too burdened. I am burdened with it all."

Ray picked up the apple again.

Viscount Gade coughed in vain at the strangely flowing conversation.

"Hmm... Come on, eat it before it gets cold."

"Ah yes. Then I will eat well."

"It was nothing••...

And so began the world's quietest meal.

"•••Is that the correct information?"

"Have I ever worked in this industry once or twice? This is the information that came out of the author's mouth. sudden

"Hmm••...

He was the branch manager of the Billo Village Intelligence Guild.

His guild member and his younger brother, whom he had been close with, ran in just a moment ago and asked him to take over.

Whether he was asking for scoop information or looking into his own eyes while panting was similar to the blood-stained eyes of a dark merchant who had always retrieved expensive information.

After sending the informants outside and talking to them, they found the saint that Seongguk was looking for.

"Hey, the saints are different. I wanted to give off a dignified and bizarre aura even if I stood still, but the Viscount got down on her knees."

"That Viscount Gade?"

Looking at him with slightly suspicious eyes, he tapped his chest as if frustrated.

"older brother! Are you doubting me now and not anyone else! Oh well, that's right!"

If you are more suspicious here, you may end up hurting each other.

Now was the time to take a step back.

"I see, I know. So you're saying he must be a saint?"

"ah! Come to think of it, the Viscount said something like that!"

"word? What do you mean?"

"clearly... How can you say that the person who raised you from the dead is not a saint?"

It was just an instant that his face frowned at those words.

"Reviving the dead? Does that make sense?"

"I'm a saint, so let's see if I can survive"

"••ha."

He took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead.

And then he said like a whistle.

"Lawson •• This is the first time I have ever been so disappointed in you while working with you. Can a saint bring the dead back to life? It is no longer a saint, but a god. A dead man is not a saint, and he cannot live even if his grandparents come."

"That, but... The son-in-law is obviously... ...

"The Viscount was trying to deceive the intelligence guild for something, or it must have been done to draw attention to his family. Moreover, even if he is a real saint, do you think the Viscount, who knows that fact, will not use him? If that happens, will it be known enough for us to know?"

Lawson was instantly turned into a honeyed dumbass.

Looking at him, the branch manager shook his head, opened the door and went outside.

"I can't believe that you believed those words and ran to me until I ran out of breath."

"•••It would not be possible... ... . Obviously, obviously, that child is a saint, bro!"

climbed up to the branch manager with only patience at Lawson's words, exploded in the end.

"This is real!"

saint (3)

Ray's expression as he ate the food was a surprise.

The meat has no odour, and the vegetables are sweet with every bite.

Besides, what kind of food is it?

More than 20 dishes are lavishly decorated and placed on the table, but the distance is so far that it is difficult to even bring a fork.

He didn't utter an exclamation out of his mouth, but inside he was admiring.

While Rey was screaming happily as she tasted various dishes, the Viscount was examining Rey's complexion.

Viscount Gade was relieved to see his happy expression, although it changed from moment to moment.

'Fortunately, it seems to suit your taste.' He was relieved of an hour at that time, thinking about what to do if the food did not suit his palate.

Ray, who had a full stomach, said, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

"It was really delicious"

"I am glad that you were satisfied."

"Hey, I can't even remember how long it has been since I ate such delicious food • hahaha."

He, who was only fifteen years old, pounded his stomach and spoke well.

However, the Viscount didn't pay much attention to it.

On the contrary, it even made me sad.

"Thank you for taking a good look. one place... ...

Viscount Gade looked at Rey for a moment. Rei also faced Viscount Gade, and the Viscount opened his mouth.

"I have something I want to ask you, but if you don't mind... ...

"It's okay, I got something so delicious... ask. If I know anything, I'll let you know.

w O "

¦ s ? •• • • de •

Viscount Gade hardened his expression.

What he was trying to say now was a sensitive matter, so it was difficult to ask casually.

He said to Ray carefully.

"Why aren't you in the Holy Land?

"Seongguk? Why all of a sudden?"

Chloe also hardened at Viscount Gade's question.

It is because she could not have even dreamed that the subject of the most sensitive Seongguk would appear in front of the saint.

Viscount Hana Gade was still waiting for Rey's reply.

Ray was also a little perplexed because he didn't know that such a question would come up.

'Are you asking why the saint is not in the Holy Kingdom and is in such a place? It's because I'm not a saint in the first place.'

Of course, he thought he was not a saint, but in the eyes of the people of this world, he is just a saint who heals a little differently.

'What is Seongguk? Home is the most comfortable.'

In an instant, the words hit her throat, but after chewing it along with the food, Rey found a substitute for it.

"Is Seongguk not even aware of my existence?"

But Viscount Gade spoke as if what he meant.

"Seong-guk has already arrived in the kingdom to take the saint, but... ?"

Ray was surprised and so was the Viscount.

He was surprised when he heard that Seongguk was coming to find him, and Viscount Gade was surprised by Ray, who knew nothing about being a saint.

Ray said as if to confirm again.

"Seongguk is coming to find me? why!"

"Well, you can ask me for that . " ...

"Then what do I do!"

"You must go to Seongguk... ... ?"

Rey's mind was lost at the words of the Viscount.

A word ran through his mind.

'You must go to the Holy Land.'

What do you mean by the sudden knocking of a bonchan while eating?

It felt like the food I had been passing through was clogging my throat.

Several thoughts flashed through Ray's mind in an instant.

'If Seongguk finds me, it really is a matter of time. They are crazy about faith, so just because they hide well, there is no guarantee that they won't be able to find it.'

However, if you do not hide, you will be discovered sooner.

'But how does Seongguk find me? me

How do you know?'

Why are you looking for yourself in the Holy Kingdom, not a saint in the first place?

Ray started to get genuinely curious as his thoughts reached this point.

It was a thought that could be done because he did not know that being a saint or a saint is something that is derived from divine revelation.

He was determined to ask Viscount Gade because he was in a situation where he could not find an answer even if he thought about it.

Viscount Gade, who was watching Rey's reaction one by one, spoke as soon as Rey's mouth twitched.

"Ask anything"

"just... ... . How do you find a saint in the Holy Land? How do you know where it is?"

It was a strange question for a saint to ask.

Viscount Hana Gade answered without hesitation.

"The Holy Kingdom is a country that is blessed by God. So whenever a saint or a saint appears, God reveals it by revelation."

"Are you there? So are you saying that God communicates with humans?"

Viscount Gade had nothing to say when the saint asked him this.

saint, he asks as if he has never talked to God, but what can he say?

I can only tell you what I know.

"Perhaps revelation is not necessarily a conversation with God. Whether a sign appears, or a dream... ...

Ray got goosebumps upon hearing this.

this look like a modern GPS !

If they run away somewhere, a revelation from God will most likely redistribute their location to them .

I can't run away and I can't hide.

The only answer he could do was to be quietly caught and devote his life to the Kingdom of God.

An ordinary person would not hesitate to live a life of full glory as a saint, but Ray had a different idea.

'I've spent my whole life working, but I'm still working for Seongguk like a slave. What kind of bullshit is this!'

I wanted to live my life the way I wanted to.

Play when you want to play, and treat when you see someone sick.

He wanted to live in the village he wanted to live in without being swayed by conflicts.

However, as Seong-guk comes to find him, and even God joins in trying to ruin his future plans, he has no hope of living like that.

It was a moment I had never seen before, but it was a moment when I had a bad feeling for God.

Lawson, who had guided Rey to the Viscount's house, was still in thought as he left the intelligence guild.

"Obviously that child must be a saint...

I don't know how you brought the dead back to life

It has been more than ten years since I have been an information merchant.

Even after living with information for such a long time, he had never seen such a proud nobleman kneel to an ordinary child.

Moreover, the timing of Seong-guk's coming to find the saint fits very well.

These two alone were not sufficient to claim that he was a saint.

However, since the guild head rejected this claim, he had no choice but to sell the information on his own.

was not in

Passing through the alleyway crowded with dark merchants, he headed further into the old shop without hesitation.

When I opened the old, creaky wooden door, there was a middle-aged man with a good-looking impression sitting there.

Lawson sat down facing the middle-aged man and brought out the main point.

"Whoa... Here is some helpful information. Will you live?"

The middle-aged man smiled at his words.

"Isn't it pretty urgent? Seeing you come all the way here."

"Even if you don't give a price, it handles all information."

"Hmm... listen first. What is the information about?"

As the middle-aged man stroked his beard once and said, Lawson's expression hardened.

When he asked a question, Lawson negotiated again.

"From my point of view, this is quite a bit of information. I went out of my way to tell the guild leader, but that's it."

As if to tell the story, a middle-aged man poured a drink for Lawson.

The store itself also served as a bar, so whenever an important story like this came up, he always poured alcohol.

Knowing that, Lawson grinned.

"Does it look quite appetizing?"

"It's not bad information to keep. The amount that Seongguk suggested is by no means small, so the information about the saint is definitely first-class."

"This is not a first-class level."

Heid, the shop owner, stiffened at his words with a grin.

There was only one piece of information related to the saint, which reached the highest level.

"Did you find out who the saint is?"

Hayd thought for a moment and then said.

"But didn't you say that your information was rejected by the guild leader? Is the information reliable?"

"I am sure. If you don't believe it, you can't trade. There are a few other places that can be sold besides this one."

As he spoke, he looked into Heid's eyes.

Heid, who looked through his eyes, shook his head, smiling as if he had lost.

"Heh heh heh. I don't think it's a lie at all. All right, we can buy that information from our store."

" price is?"

The most important thing for information is the importance of information, but ultimately the price of information.

It was the basis of information not to handle any confidential information unless it was profitable.

The information he brought was information that turned out to be money.

In addition, if the information about the saint, which is emerging the most, is true by itself, if verified, a huge amount of money could be paid.

Among such information, do you get information about the identity of the saint?

In that case, just by selling that information to Seongguk, you can extract three times the amount of the original book.

In addition, his store will be given priority over the huge information guild that controls the current situation.

Of course, this is only for information about the saint.

A veteran informant well aware of that fact is Lawson.

10 years of entering the information industry, he developed an eye to see and searched for information that would make money.

Although he was thrown into the industry alone, he was able to work until now because of his hardship skills alone.

Therefore, he could not deceive the information price only to him without knowing it.

Heid took a sip and set the glass down on the table.

"Wow, that's good. Since you chose our store, I must be sincere. How about fifteen platinum braziers?"

Lawson grinned as he looked at Heid, who was barely passing his receptacle, with a slight convulsion on his face.

He also drank alcohol at once.

"Kukkuk. good. I'm going to have to build a nice house and stop doing this."

Lawson said, pouring the drink into his glass.

"Then write the contract. Do it the way you always do."

"Heh heh heh. I see."

After checking the contract, Lawson read each one carefully and finally nodded.

He opened his mouth reassured that he would have received five platinum coins as an advance payment.

"Confirmed. Then I will give you the information."

"I was waiting. tell me."

Heid urged Lawson, feeling like a child craving snacks.

"The saint was a child. As soon as he saw the boy, Viscount Gade fell to his knees."

"Is that Viscount Gade?"

Like the guild leader, Heide, who narrowed his eyes, asked as if inquiring.

"okay. I must have seen it with my own eyes."

"Hmm... keep talking."

"The Viscount got down on her knees and called her a saint, so the little boy denied that he was a saint. I didn't know at first either. But Viscount Gayde said this."

Hayd waited for Lawson to speak.

He drank a drink to see if he was thirsty, then said.

"The one who raised himself from the dead is not a saint.

What are you, you say."

Lawson stopped talking here.

It was to see Heid's reaction.

If the guild leader's reaction continues as before, he will be in despair.

Even if you say something, no one will believe you, so you may get a fire bottle.

Contrary to his concerns, however, Heid was thinking as he touched his beard with his hand with a serious expression.

"Hmm- it's not an easy word to believe, but... . The time for Seong-guk to come to the kingdom to look for the saint is so exquisite."

"right!"

Perhaps it was because he had finally found someone to believe in him, and Lawson's expression was perfect."

"What did the saint look like?"

Whether he was happy or sad, Hayd didn't seem to care.

"He had incredibly white hair and blue eyes. His eyes looked so deep that they didn't look like children's eyes. The clothes look like they're covered in old leather... ...

"Wait a minute. If your hair is white, it's white. What's the super white thing?"

" Uh ••••• " ? •

At Heid's question, Lawson pondered for a moment about what to say.

"So" white is white... Does it really have to be pure white? I didn't know a person could have that color of hair."

"There aren't many people with white hair, but there aren't that many that you can't even see them, right?

"no. The distinction is clear enough to tell just by looking at it. It is white and not white."

"•••I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Anyway, you can tell right away."

"Isn't it a good idea to live well enough to wear cheap leather clothes?"

"right. I've never seen it in town, so it's probably living on the outskirts of town or outside.

"Hmm... Well, I guess that's enough for us to find on our own. Until now, I only researched within the village, so I didn't know about it."

"Probably not living in the forest of 'them'," Hayd nodded at Lawson's words.

"If I lived there, I wouldn't have been able to survive until now."

"Then if you look all over the place except for the forest, you will be able to find the room soon. I have received the advance payment, so check it out... ... . If it is confirmed, I will come back to find it later."

"Heh heh heh. It's been a while since I've asked you some exciting information, haven't you?"

"What kind of blushing information... . You must have been excited because it was information that could be used for money."

As he spoke, Lawson got up from his seat and walked out the door, putting a bag of platinum coins in his arms.

Heid shouted at his back.

"Sometimes you come here for a drink!"

"Think!"

They had been close friends for a long time, but they didn't usually meet as they went their separate ways.

Lawson's the guild's way, Heid's the dark merchant's-

They walked the same but different paths, but sometimes they didn't meet unless they had a job to sell and buy.

Because they knew it would make the relationship last longer.

Lawson, feeling the proof of such a thing, grinned as he walked out the door at the words of his close friend.

"I have to stop doing this now... ... . It's time to stop."

saint ?

Ray, who hastily returned home from the author, was struggling.

"Is Seongguk coming to find me? Besides, are you going to take me as a saint?"

This was much bigger than I thought.

In Rey's brain, Seong-guk was a madman who was united in his faith and did not fear death.

He will probably throw his veto over the other side of faith.

"If you get caught, it's over. My peaceful life could not fall into the mud, so I might have to live my whole life working like an ant;

Although the kingdom was not strong enough to force everything, the saint and the saint were different .

The saints and saints, who appeared in this world only through divine revelation, were the will of God itself.

Therefore, there was no veto for saints and saints.

He didn't know much about Seongguk yet, but at least he knew that if they caught him, he would be taken to Seongguk.

Of course, if you are taken to the Holy Kingdom, eat, sleep, and live as you please, that's fine, but you will be able to seal your will completely and do the glorious work done under the name of God.

Rei describes such a glorious thing as a nogada, though.

They will not kill him because he refuses to become a saint, but the people of the Holy Kingdom are the people who will do whatever it takes to take him away .

It is impossible to escape from them, and God continues to publicize his position (?).

Indeed, it could not be a god like a stalker.

"Ugh... I prayed to a god I didn't know all day long, went on a tour around several kingdoms, and came back to pray... ...

It's terrifying just thinking about it.

The thought of having to force myself to do something I didn't even want to do seemed to make me goosebumps.

Ray shook her head and pondered.

"What should I do? You can't hide, you can't run away... ... . It would be really crazy."

He spent the whole night counting the measures against Seongguk.

I couldn't help but cry.

Even when he thought about it, he didn't come up with a lot of numbers.

Are you running away after notifying your parents?

No matter what he does, God just tells him where he is.

Whether you change your hair color with mana, or run away with shade.

Moreover, even if he runs away, he must have money to live, but he is only 15 years old.

If you hide your abilities so that you can't see them, mercenaries are absolutely unreasonable, and if you do your best, you can only imagine a future where you can only hang out with children in the slums.

Rey was regretting the fact that he had prematurely told Viscount Gade that he was a saint.

Even if he regretted it, he knew it too.

Even if he hadn't been called a saint, Viscount Gade would have thought of himself as a saint.

It is only a difference in time, but the fact that it is known does not change much.

Even if Viscount Gade didn't say anything, it wouldn't change that Seongguk was looking for him.

A deep sigh could not escape from his mouth.

"Shall we go for a walk ? ? ...

His sigh, as if he had finished his life, echoed through the room.

The movements of the informants shifted outside the village rather than inside the village.

After passing the small bridge, along the stone paved road, one by one, people began to increase.

As they started passing, they dispersed, but no one entered the forest located right in front of them.

Said a short man who was looking for the child's home, the target of the commission.

"Where do you think a house is in a place like this, I am."

While grumbling, he searched the bushes to find his way.

A young man next to him smiled awkwardly.

"Still, you're looking for everything you're looking for."

"It's a job, but if you don't do this, you will be fired from this industry. I have to pretend."

"I have to pretend, huh? But really, what kind of house is there in a place like this... ...

The young man looked to one side as he spoke.

No one paid attention to the light green forest with thick trees.

Since no one was going, he started walking at his own pace .

Immediately, a short man grabbed his hand.

heard.

He frowned as he gripped his hand so tightly that it hurt.

"Ouch! What's wrong!"

"Hey, you bastard! I want you to die !"

"Let's talk about this for a moment! It really hurts!"

At the man's words, he relaxed his grip.

He groaned as he rubbed his arms and shed tears.

"Why is that, damn it! Did you hide any gold coins in that forest?"

"Why are you like this! Did you save your life as a punishment?"

"It's because no one is looking for it! I tried to do some work at the best, but • ••...

"If you want to relax while working, go!"

The young man frowned at his unusual words and asked.

"What the hell is that place doing?"

"You didn't know? That's an elf village! A good place to stay after not knowing !"

Looking at him as if asking what the elf village was the problem, the short man continued.

"Elves do not forgive intruders. Of course, if you're just passing through the forest, you shouldn't be killed. But that's different."

"What makes it so different?"

"Because that forest is an elf village with high elves."

Surprised that the forest he had always seen was an elf village, he was surprised once again by the passage that high elves live.

The number of elves is not so great that it is hard to see even just elves, but the high elves were rare among the elves.

It is said that they are born with an understanding of mana and affinity with spirits at the level of a hero from the time they are born.

Spirits can be understood because they are close to nature, but if they are born with an excessive amount of mana, and if they constantly learn it, it is difficult for humans to catch up.

Therefore, no slave trader dares to touch the village where the high elves live.

Even the elves regarded such high elves as sacred and supported them.

Are you going to set foot in their home?

No one would do such a crazy thing unless they changed it because they wanted to die.

At least for those I know.

"Ha, Hyel?} Why do you live in a place like that?" High elves usually live in unknown forests or places where elves live in large groups.

This is because it is easier to protect the elves, and they do not have any discomfort.

It was known to the public as well.

"Well, I don't know. Not all humans know about elves."

It couldn't have been a depressing statement, but it was true.

"So, be careful next time. Don't be sorry if you went in by mistake."

The young man did not respond to the man's words. I just looked at the peaceful forest.

High elves live there in front of you.

The saliva was swallowed by itself, but I couldn't even dream.

Because defeating a high elf was something that a human could not aim for.

Ray kept walking down the road he usually went down to the village.

What dominated his mind now was the response to Sung-guk.

What to do in the future, how to accept this fact.

A lot of thoughts mixed together, and in the end, the footsteps made him stop.

I looked around and saw a lump of rocks lying between the trees.

The trees stretched out and half blocked the sunlight, and the vines and moss that could be seen in the light were in harmony .

Seeing this, Ray, who had a slightly softened heart, sat down on a rock.

"Whoa, I need to sit down and rest for a while." It is not a skill to think deeply, so you need to know how to take a break.

Thinking like that again, I felt quite comfortable when I let go of my worries.

Rei, who thought that physical and mental training was important for this reason, got up when she felt her popularity in the depths of the forest. The movement was not usually fast. In a forest like this where trees are an obstacle

At this speed, it could be said that it was almost at the level of running while ignoring the trees.

Rey quietly activated mana.

As soon as he prepared to defend himself at any time, the sign of being close to him suddenly disappeared.

'I noticed that I was there.'

Ray's eyes trembled slightly.

It was evident that he did not know he was here in the first reckless movement.

If he had known of his existence, he should at least have been hiding his innocence, or he should not have suddenly erased his innocence like now.

Judging from the fact that neither is the case, the other has now found itself.

Ray couldn't look back hastily.

Instead, he concentrated all his mana to maximize his sense of humor.

It was not possible to activate mana in the body like Ale yet, but it was possible to raise at least one sense.

'Has the information already entered Seongguk? like that

I don't think it's really easy if it's a movement.' Cold sweat ran down my cheeks.

The two had been facing each other like that for ten minutes without any movement.

18 episodes

Elf's Village (1)

They were in a position facing each other with their bodies tensed, who had not moved while restraining each other for a long time.

There would be no benefit if we just replaced it like this.

Even if he moved, he seemed to have a good chance of attacking first.

However, unless you know your opponent's purpose, you can inflict greater damage by unintentionally attacking.

It was necessary to block the opponent with the least amount of attack and maximum defense.

As Rey was imaging the opponent's attack and disturbing the mana around him, the opponent spoke.

"human••... ?"

He sweated without releasing the tension in his muscles.

It means that you cannot see the other person, while the other person is seeing you.

He didn't know the magic, but the physical difference was clearly revealed.

The other party relaxed a bit and spoke again.

"What is the human child doing here? Are you lost?"

I felt a little hostility, but unlike the first time, the sharp momentum was gone.

Rey, who was slightly relieved, answered him.

"I was just resting here for a while."

"I was resting••... ?"

There was a slight sarcastic feeling in his tone of voice as if he didn't like something.

The owner of the voice continued.

"This is our territory. human being sick

If you don't like it, get out of here."

"yes? I have never heard of anyone who bought this land."

"We do not buy land from humans. Do not think that all territory belongs to you humans."

"okay okay. I'll sit down for a bit and then go."

"Right Now. You have to leave right now."

"Are you really sitting down for a bit?"

"Go away, human child."

I felt bad for the child who heard it.

Let's listen, let's listen, it was too much.

To prevent me from even sitting for a moment in this vast forest.

Ray, who had accumulated a lot of stress because he had a lot to think about, was a little bit irritated and forced himself to come out.

"Whoa... the world won't let me go." Ray stood up from his seat, muttering an unfamiliar sound, shaking his buttocks and said.

"Get out of there. 'Cause you'll go the way you want Let's see what the face of the owner of this great forest is."

Whether he heard him or not, the owner of the voice did not think to come out.

I tried to greet him face to face, but he was rejected.

Ray, annoyed by this, sat down on the rock again.

Then he said bluntly.

"Aren't you coming? Then I won't go either."

"get out!"

He spoke out loud as if in embarrassment, but Ray, who had already lost his mind to leave, did not even pretend to listen.

The other person was silent for a moment and then spoke quietly.

"I don't listen with words. He's a very naughty kid."

"You have no habit of looking at others when you don't even get greeted. I'm very excited."

Rey, who was already crooked, shook his head sarcasticly at his opponent.

Seeing that, the opponent quickly ran in the shade of the tree.

Rey, who neatly aimed at his head and neck, swung his side to avoid the flying palms, and went down by hitting the opponent's hand with his mana-clad hand.

Rey was also surprised to see her looking at Rey with a surprised expression, probably because she didn't know it would be blocked by humans.

With such a large presence, long ears that are immediately recognizable when you look at the face, and a non-human appearance •

Moreover, the clothes that looked like they were made of weaving leaves and plants told anyone that they were them.

"Hey, elf!"

He himself had only learned about different races from books, but it was the first time he had actually met them.

The opponent seemed to be embarrassed by the fact that his number was blocked by a human rather than that his identity was revealed.

she said surprised.

"A little child is blocking my attack." He didn't attack with the intention of killing him, but it was powerful enough to catch a child and throw him out of the forest.

Rey watched her, no matter what the other person was thinking.

The excellent body and jawline of the face were drawn in a flowing curve as if it would flow smoothly even if it rained, and the eyes that matched the light brown hair color were innocence itself.

The eyes that embraced freedom were not something you could have just because you lived freely.

she muttered to herself.

"Obviously, the smell is human... ... . I'm too strong for my age to do that.

Rey condensed mana in case the same attack as just before would come again.

"It's human. It's true that I'm a little strong." She also nodded at his answer.

"I have to admit that I am stronger than my age.

As Hana finished speaking, her hand clasped again and entered.

"Still, we don't need weak humans in this forest."

He retreated back and avoided the flying palms aiming at his side, and quickly used mana.

Rey exploded the concentrated mana when she was within reach of her.

The air burst and shockwaves hit her.

Kwagwang-

With a shriek she flew away.

If it was fire magic, she would most likely have been injured.

Two meters flew away and she quickly got up from her seat.

She couldn't come to her senses in the fierce battle that had just happened.

As an elf second only to dragons in terms of mana, he did not expect his opponent's mana to move.

It meant that the opponent was a strong person who could express magic without even a mouse or a bird if he put his mind to it.

He never looked back even against himself. It was not difficult for her to notice that it was because of her confidence.

A human child pushes himself? This was absurd, even as she thought.

So, there was only one answer.

she muttered, wondering if

"Maybe... a great race... , ?"

"A great race? what is that r

Seeing Rey tilted her head as she frowned as she could not understand the meaning, she felt a little relieved.

If they had turned into human polymorphs, no matter how sensitive they were, they could not be recognized.

But if they weren't the great race, I wondered how on earth they deceived themselves and cast magic.

It was impossible for even high elves to use magic without the elves knowing.

Ray suddenly stood up and looked at her, who was staring at her.

'It's a look that can't be put into words just looking at it.'

As he was thinking about it, her little mouth opened.

"Interesting... ...

"I do have an interesting personality."

"I can't believe you're too young to be a nerd." Her battle-ready posture had long since loosened.

She pondered for a moment.

Although the elves were a closed race, they had no choice but to communicate with each other at least.

So, if there are decent humans, they bring them to the village and make a judgment call.

This is because, in order to interact with humans, you must first have a person you can trust.

The human child he saw in front of him was young and moderately strong.

His personality was a little eccentric for his age, but he doesn't seem to have a bad personality.

Besides, there was a high elf in his village, so there was no problem in other situations.

She made up her mind.

"Human, follow me. I'll let you stay in this forest."

"yes? No, I was going to go now."

After all, he had left the house for a walk, so he was thinking about going back.

When I was told to go out, to go out, I felt somewhat depressed and wanted to go home.

She said whether she knew the thought or not.

"We respect the strong. That's the rule we learned in the forest town of Grandel. Besides, you're a weird guy, but you don't seem like a dangerous guy."

That made Ray even more sad.

Ray rolled her eyes at her words.

"•••It sounds a bit like that. Rather, is the name of this place Grandel's Forest?"

Ray looked around once more and thought.

'Elves don't lie. There's nothing to do anyway, so shall we go along?'

"Okay, promise me you won't attack me instead."

At his words, she nodded.

After she finished speaking, she immediately took the lead and started walking.

"If you see me walking, do you think it's near here?"

"A bit far."

"I have to go home today.

let's hurry."

At his urging, she glanced at Ray and said:

"If I speed up, can you chase me?"

"Um... maybe?"

"•••great."

As soon as she finished speaking, her new model flew forward .

Ray opened her mouth to see that.

"Wow, there are so many trees ...

Due to the nature of the topographical nature of the forest, trees are inevitably an obstacle to speed.

But is it still an elf? He ran as if he knew the location of all the trees, but the speed did not slow down and continued constantly.

Rey also condensed mana into his heels for speed.

And it just exploded.

bang-

The exploding mana is immediately scattered in the air and the mana of the other foot is exploded again.

Repeating this action, it jumped forward with great speed like a propeller.

After a fairly loud noise, she looked back slightly.

And I was terrified.

I'll be moving with an air shot!

Moreover, how exquisitely mana was controlled, the floor only had a little bit of leaves and grass, but the trees and the ground were not damaged in the slightest.

A voice mixed with embarrassment flowed from her mouth, who was proud of maintaining her calm over many years of life in the eyes of a human being.

"You crazy!"
