chapter 66
66 – Episode 66
A sylph with green blood flying in all directions, as if a vegetable had been ground up in a juicer.
It was a cruel scene no matter who saw it, but the person who created this situation was.
[The price of life~ The price of life~]
It was flying through the air, humming even more cruelly.
I smiled awkwardly and approached him.
[Tiam~!]
A guy approaching and shouting in a cute voice.
As I ran my fingers through his hair to express his hard work, the dwarf, who had been transfixed, spotted us.
“omg! Who… human?!”
Although I was afraid of the unfamiliar being, I watched carefully as if I thought it was the only one who could ask for help.
“Human elementalist!! please! please!! “Please save my brother!!”
He fell to his knees and boom! I hit my head on the ground so hard that I heard a loud sound.
When she saw Lageta, she smiled sinisterly.
“Tonight. “Do I have to sleep next to my mom?”
“…”
This is cheap.
I nodded at the not bad deal.
“And give me a kiss on the cheek.”
Oh, that’s a bit much.
After thinking for a moment about the suddenly expensive transaction, Lageta shook his shoulders.
“Ah~ If it’s too late, that dwarf might die~”
shit.
I had no choice but to nod, and Lageta waved his hand with a winning smile.
As the black magic that escaped from her fingertips entered the body of the dwarf, whose face was white, the wounds that had been healing very slowly due to the effect of the potion were torn again.
The dwarf looked at me and Lageta’s faces in turn, as if embarrassed by the gaping wound, but when I smiled softly, he came close to his companion with an expression of helplessness.
Contrary to the dwarf’s worries, the wound was torn.
“Uh, how could this be…”
He recovered perfectly, as if he had turned back time.
How long has it been since the wounds on my body were completely healed?
“Ugh…”
“Cookun! You idiot! Are you out of your mind?!”
“Ugh… It’s noisy… Brother… Please shut up…”
A dwarf named Kukun opened his eyes.
Hand hammer dwarf. As Macun explained various things to Kukun, who had finally come to his senses, the dwarf who was lying down also bowed his head deeply towards us.
“You were a lifesaver. “Thank you so much.”
“I’m late to say hello too. “Thank you for saving my colleague.”
Although it seemed like he was overly grateful.
‘This is it.’
If the dwarves start fighting, we’ll show up! What if you did it?
What if you suddenly replaced Green Wolf?
The two dwarves must have been wary of us because of our strong power.
But look at this!
After waiting for a while, he saves me from a critical situation! You like it like this!
As expected, life is about timing.
I looked at the sylph with a satisfied smile.
[There are only two of you?]
“hmm. Yes.”
[Why did you come out?]
“A comrade from the village was injured and came to get some medicinal herbs.
“I used to do business in human villages around here.”
Macun spoke and looked around, but there were no villages where humans lived.
ah. There you are.
The remains of what used to be a village.
[When did you make that deal?]
“About 70 years have passed.”
… It’s been a while.
[Unfortunately, everything around here is ruined!]
“What?! Are you saying that humans have been wiped out?! “Then what about you?”
As the conversation became more and more difficult due to the poor performance of the Sylph translator, Ellie took a step forward.
“Excuse me. I am the Kingdom of Trevaian. My name is Ellie, and I am a member of the Special Guard of the Young Knights. “Did you say Makoon?”
“Oh oh. There’s still Trevaian! “It is called Macun of the Yellow Rock Village.”
“This is Kukun from the same yellow rock village.”
“I’d like to continue asking questions from here, is that okay?”
“Of course. “I also feel more comfortable talking to humans than talking to high-level sylphs.”
As Ellie and Macun naturally started talking, the unemployed Sylph sat on my shoulder, looking downcast and flapping its wings.
[Hmph… I wonder if those guys hate me…]
‘It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I’m scared of it.’
[why? I’m not scared?]
Uh… because of the juicer?
[Is Diam scared of me too?]
I hurriedly stroked the sylph’s head, whose eyes looked as if a waterfall would explode if I said one wrong word.
‘W-What do you mean~ Our sylph is this cute.’
[Hi-Hi.]
I’m so glad that Sylph is still as innocent as a child…
After I finally calmed down the sylph, Ellie came close to me and whispered softly into my ear.
“young master. So, how much should you pay for your life?”
Why are you doing that again!!
If I said anything here, there was a chance that Sylph might make a mistake, so I wanted to pass the baton to my other colleagues.
It seemed like if I left it to Lageta, the great tower owner and the strongest, he would tell me to become a slave.
If I left it to Elzeta, an elf, it seemed like a good relationship would be difficult based on my gaming background and common sense.
What’s left…
‘Help me Olivia Maman!!’
When she saw Olivia with earnest eyes, she smiled like an angel and took a step forward.
“hello. This child’s mother. “This is Olivia.”
yes?
Well… that’s correct in terms of settings…
The introduction was so natural that I felt like I was really her biological son.
but.
“hmm? “You’re the mother of that human elementalist?”
“I have a different pulse…”
The dwarves tilted their heads, saying it was strange.
“yes yes? “Mac?”
“sighe. I’m sorry. “We dwarves can see the veins of existence.”
“I only asked because the pulse you have is different from that human elementalist. “Have you adopted him?”
100% pure.
It was a question with no malicious intent at all.
“Okay… I’m not Diam’s… real mother… keuhuh…”
“Mrs!! “Come to your senses!!”
It was enough to drive a nail into Olivia’s chest.
The actions of the dwarves who instantly sent the most useful negotiator to the goal.
‘Ha… Sylph.’
[huh!]
I had no choice but to hire a Sylph lawyer whose credibility was beginning to decline.
Although there was some commotion.
“Damn monsters.”
“It must have been very difficult for humans too.”
I was able to convey the situation by dramatizing it somehow.
and.
[Is it possible?]
“hmm. We invite you, our lifesavers, to our yellow rock village! Kukun! “Let’s go back right now!”
I was able to visit their village.
While we were there, we built friendly relationships!
If possible, check out the amazing blacksmithing skills!
A new journey that will give your daily life as much of a shock as a small pebble in your daily life, which was as peaceful as a calm lake!
When I saw Lageta smiling, he waved his hand with an expression that said, “I can’t help it,” and brought back all the items we had left behind.
Now all you have to do is follow the dwarf into the underground!
“Brother Ibosho. “Have you forgotten why we came up to earth?”
“The reason I came up… Ah! medicinal herbs!”
“yes.”
He spoke calmly and looked at Elzeta.
“I’m sorry, elf. Could you use your power to find some herbs? “I’m really bad at medicinal herbs.”
“Of course. “What kind of injury did you get?”
I thought they were going to fight, but I nodded as I saw the elf and dwarf talking calmly.
‘After all, fantasy. It’s a place that has some similarities to my thoughts, but also has many differences.’
“I got burned while working. What do you want to hear from the chieftain? Gadram? “I heard that this fruit is good for burns.”
“under. “You guys are so lucky.”
Elzeta looks at me at the very familiar name.
“My son has plenty of the Gadram fruits you are looking for.”
Yes… it’s my son…
The dwarves frowned as I laughed awkwardly.
“hmm. Surely that human woman didn’t adopt a human elementalist?”
“But even elves call human elementalists their sons…”
“Has human culture changed without us knowing?”
When they talk nonsense.
“ah. “I’m Diam’s mom too.”
Lagueta is one more drink away.
And that one drink grows to enormous size, like the snowball that started rolling on the top of Everest.
“One child has three mothers.”
“It looks like human culture has definitely changed. “Let’s tell the chief.”
In the dwarf world, the strange common sense that humans have three mothers per person almost became the national rule.
As soon as I entered the land with the dwarves, a problem arose.
“I’m sorry. “If I had known this would happen, I would have dug the tunnel a little higher.”
Their average height is around 130.
Even I, the shortest person in our party, had to bend down to walk through the tunnel.
Of course, let Lageta wave his hand on such trivial matters.
“Oh… that’s amazing.”
The tunnel was widened to fit our height.
From what I’ve heard, dwarves are a race that rarely comes out from under the ground.
Therefore, they are a species that is difficult to meet and even if they do meet, it is difficult to form friendly relationships.
I was really lucky to meet him and have a good relationship with him, so I have to pull out everything I can.
“Macoon. They say you dwarves serve a different god than Daisny. Is that correct?”
“That’s right. “I believe in Daysni, the god of the land, but I believe in Tymoros, the god of minerals, even more.”
“It’s Taimoros, the god of minerals… This is my first time hearing about it.”
Macun smiled excitedly at Ellie’s reaction and opened his mouth.
“It’s easy if you think about it simply. Just as the elves live with trees and serve Thresias in tree form.
“We dwarves live with the land and minerals, so we serve Tymoros, the god of minerals.”
This world does not have a monotheistic concept.
Basically, there are male god Nazaide and goddess Deisni that humans believe in and follow.
Namsin is of heaven. The goddess is called the god of the earth, and if you become a saint or a pope, you can meet and talk to the god.
And the world tree, Tresias, who treated me in a strange way as soon as I met him.
Elzeta, who received the blessings of Thresias, was the chieftain of the elves and was able to communicate with the gods indirectly.
It is said that if the believers gather their strength and pray together with the offerings that the god likes, it is possible for him to descend for a while…
Anyway, Taimoroth, the god of the dwarves.
Perhaps Tymoros also exists somewhere in this world in one form and serves as the spiritual support of the dwarves.
In addition to this, the names of the gods that Lageta had told me were good to know when learning divine powers began to come to mind one by one.
‘It would be fun to meet the gods once in a while.’
It is better to receive blessings little by little, like the roots of the world tree.
Did you read my thoughts?
“Diam. “While we’re here, mom will prepare something healthy for you~”
Although I spoke casually about buying tangerine chocolate while I was in Jeju Island.
I suddenly became afraid when I thought about what she might have in store.
