Episode 160 New goal (4)
Northern tip of the spring continent.
Over 4,000km away from the Nokchi Mountains, there was an endless green forest.
The name of this green forest, which boasts the size of an entire kingdom, is ‘Forest of Ballena.’
Fifteen hundred years ago, a woman named Valena appeared on the Spring Continent.
As a highly skilled mage, she traveled around the continent to rescue elves who had been held as slaves and moved to the northern tip of the Spring Continent.
Nowadays, the path she and the elves walked is called the peaceful name ‘Liberation of the Forest’, but at the time, Valena and the elves’ journey was anything but peaceful.
Rather, the expression ‘blood route’ was more appropriate.
Valena saved the elves by force and came into conflict with many nobles.
A force trying to reclaim the elves taken from her.
In addition, a third force intervened to obtain the elf.
The steps of Valena and the elves crossing the spring continent were covered in blood that never dried.
Even as many people were targeting the elves, Valena arrived at the northern tip of the Spring Continent, protecting not a single elf from getting hurt.
It is said that the land the elves arrived at at the time was a barren land that had not even been cultivated.
A dead land where not a single tree or blade of grass can grow.
Valena and the elves who arrived at that place cultivated the land and created a forest.
Meanwhile, attacks targeting Valena and the elves continued, but all of the raiders died at Valena’s hands.
It is not clear why Valena saved the elves and moved north.
However, thanks to Ballena’s efforts, trees grew on the devastated land that no one could cultivate, forming a large forest that is now called the lungs of the Spring Continent.
It is unknown what happened to Valena and the elves after that.
However, on the outskirts of the forest, woodcutters and hunters who survive on what the forest distributes say:
He said he often saw elves.
For this reason, woodcutters and hunters strictly forbade going deep into the forests of Valena.
This is so as not to disturb the peaceful lives of the elves.
However, despite the woodcutter’s ban, a human figure appeared out of nowhere in the sky above the center of the Valena Forest.
Tsupat!
Three shadows suddenly appeared in the air.
“Yay!”
“It’s falling!”
“ah! “Can’t you just be quiet?!”
Their identities were Lois and the twins who were on a new journey.
They may have become quite used to it by now because they experienced frequent spatial movements, but the twins still enjoyed spatial movements like children.
Lois and the twins fall to the ground from a high altitude.
In the past, they would have made a fuss about playing with dragons, but now the height of several hundred meters in the air was no big deal to them.
widely-.
The group landed so lightly on the ground that it was hard to believe they had fallen from such a high place.
As soon as he did that, Carney snapped at Lois.
“Where is here?”
“I know? “Where am I?”
Lois smiled and answered Khan and Kani’s question.
“Forest of Ballena.”
“Forest of Ballena?”
“what is that?”
Lois shook her head at the twins’ expressions of confusion.
“… okay. What do I expect from you? Explain Finn.”
“yes!”
At Lois’ command, Finn saluted and began explaining about the ‘Forest of Ballena’.
After a while.
The twins shook their heads after hearing Finn’s explanation.
“I see.”
“There was a place like this.”
“So where are we going?”
“Why did you come here?”
Even as the twins asked questions one after another, Lois remained calm.
Because this situation is now familiar.
The corners of Lois’ mouth curled up.
“There is something I must find here.”
Ballena’s Forest was a location that appeared in the latter half of the original work.
But it was also the most important place.
‘A place where there is a hidden piece related to the True Dragon Sword.’
The Chamryonggeom, which had been unsealed by removing the rust, was nothing more than a sharp, well-edged sword.
However, if special conditions are met, it can be transformed into an item worthy of being called a divine sword.
In this forest of Valena, there was a ‘thing’ that turned the rust-removed True Dragon Sword into a new sword.
‘Although I haven’t been able to remove the rust from the True Dragon Sword… … .’
Among the hidden pieces related to the True Dragon Sword, the hidden piece in the forest of Valena was one that Royce had always thought she would have to ‘deal with’ with her own hands.
Before I became Jackie Chan, I couldn’t come out because of the curfew, so I rushed here as soon as I became Jackie Chan.
“what is that?”
“let me know!”

“I’ll tell you about that later. “Let’s find the road first.”
“hmm… okay.”
“OK.”
When the twins agreed, Lois looked around.
His eyes became cautious.
‘It’s somewhere in this forest, right? Abandoned dragon rare?’
The place where the item Lois is trying to find is located.
That place was none other than an abandoned dragon’s lair.
I wondered how to find the dragon’s rare in the vast forest, but Lois also had a clue.
He handed the communication seat to the twins.
“Do you know how to use this?”
“huh!”
“Of course I know.”
“good! Then from now on we will disperse from here. “If you see a broken statue while exploring around here, let me know right away.”
“Broken statue?”
“Is there such a thing?”
“huh. there is”
It was definitely there in the original.
A stone statue with its upper body blown off.
And underneath the statue, there was an empty dragon lair.
Once we find the broken statue, everything will be resolved.
‘It’s a dragon rare without an owner, so there’s no real problem.’
Lois thought so and shouted loudly.
“Now, let’s go!”
“depart!”
“Gazua!”
This is my first trip and entertainment after becoming Jackie Chan.
The three excited dragons scattered with light steps.
* * *
The beginning of the search was refreshing.
But that didn’t last long either.
To be exact, the problem was two impatient dragons.
[Roy… How long do I have to do this?]
[Really, what happened to there being nothing but trees?]
[Do I have to go around and find them all like this? Can’t I just fly up and find it?]
[Stupid Khan. With the trees so thick, would you be able to see a stone statue from the sky? Roy, are there any elves here? Let’s just ask them!]
[Do you think you are more stupid than me? Do you know where elves live? Finding an elf would be more difficult than finding a statue! You idiot!]
[Why is it harder to find elves? Just shout and it will come out!]
A communication seat where grumbling ceaselessly flows.
At this, Lois sighed and growled into the communication table.
“Khan, like Kani said, the trees are so thick that you can’t see the statue from above. So just look for it.”
[Look! Stupid Khan!]
“And Kani, there are no elves in this forest.”
[B-but… Finn said earlier that the woodcutters saw the elf?]
“It’s just that they mistakenly thought they saw what they wanted to believe. If there had been elves in the first place, would they have just watched the woodcutters destroy their forest? “He must have put an arrow in the bamboo tube first.”
[Ugh… … .]
[Look! Stupid Kani!]
“Both of you are noisy. “Just quietly search for it.”
[yes… … .]
[yes… … .]
Lois looked satisfied in the communication room that had finally become quiet.
Finn giggled at this.
“The twins are still the same.”
“The problem is that it’s still the same. How come these kids aren’t making any progress? “Development.”
Lois clicked her tongue and looked around.
‘Anyway, it’s wide.’
With the clue that it was the center of the forest, we were able to narrow down the search range to some extent, but because the area was so wide to begin with, even that area boasted a huge area.
‘It might be hard to find… … .’
Lois relaxed somewhat.
I decided in advance that I would wander through the forest for a few days.
It was then.
[Roy, Roy!]
Khan called again, saying that a few seconds had passed since he had told him to be quiet and look for him.
Lois sighed at the extremely lively voice and tried to calm Khan down again.
If it weren’t for the voice I heard right away.
[Roy! There’s a stone statue here!]
“… what?!”
Lois was startled and grabbed the communication seat.
he asked urgently.
“really?!”
[lie! I tried to find it first!]
“Kani, hush!”
[Hmph… … .]
“Cannes! “Is it really there?”
[ok. there is. however… I don’t think this is what you’re looking for?]
“What does that mean?”
[This isn’t broken?]
[look! It’s a lie!]
Lois’ expression changed at Khan’s words.
‘It wasn’t broken… … .’
Clearly, the stone statue that appeared in the original work had its upper body blown off.
‘No, maybe it’s the same thing. In the original work, the stone statue appeared in the latter half of the story. then… … .’
While Lois was thinking, Khan’s voice was heard again.
[And Roy.]
“why?”
[uh… hmm… Is this something strange?]
“what?”
[Just come and see! You will know when you come.]
“okay. “Where are you?”
[…] I know? Where am I?]
“done. I’ll find it for you, so just stay there. “Come to where Kanido Khan is.”
[okay!]
[huh!]
After completing the short communication, Lois expressed her courage.
Khan’s energy was caught in his energy, which spread quickly in an instant.
‘It’s not far.’
Lois ran after Khan’s spirit.
And not long after, Khan and Carney appeared in Lois’s field of vision.
It seemed like Carney arrived before Lois.
And the surrounding scene where the twins were standing naturally caught Lois’s eyes.
With that, Lois’s steps stopped.
“… uh?!”
Lois blinked.
A small clearing in the forest and a ray of light coming down through the trees.
And a 2m tall pure white stone statue placed under a beam of bright light.
The statue was so clean that it was hard to believe that it had been neglected for so many years.
There isn’t a single moss on it, so it looks like it was just carved.
Although that fact was surprising, Lois stopped for another reason.
Jumble-jump-.
Lois slowly moves forward as if possessed.
His steps stopped completely in front of the statue.
A statue of a woman that exudes a sacred atmosphere.
There were letters engraved at the bottom.
[In memory of Ballena.]
After examining this, he slightly raised his head.
Valena, a great mage who led the elves a long time ago.
The moment she saw her face, a mumble came out of Lois’s mouth.
“… “Where are you?”
Lois couldn’t help but blink at the sight of her mother in an unexpected place.
The twins came scurrying up to Lois’ side.
“right? “You’re Roy’s aunt, right?”
“Why is the lady here?”
“Lois? This person… “You are Valentina, right?!”
In response to the twins and Finn’s questions one after another, Lois nodded awkwardly.
“… I know? “Why is Mom here?”
Lois, who was looking up at the stone statue of Valena, suddenly burst out laughing.
“hot! What is this… … .”
Ballena. Valentina.
Very similar names.
Isn’t it obvious that the correct answer is being given?
‘Was your mother a valena?’
It was completely understandable.
There’s nothing wrong with dragons having fun.
But the more it became clear that her mother was Valena, the more Lois’ face hardened.
‘for a moment… Then no way… … ?’
Lois’ face was completely frozen.
He looked down at the bottom of the statue with serious eyes.
It was a face that looked like it was thinking about something.
Then he pushed the statue.
Grumble-.
The entrance to the basement is revealed along with it.
Lois muttered as she looked at this.
“… “You’ll find out when you check.”
Lois, who did not relax her frozen face, rushed into the basement.
“Go together!”
“Take us too!”
The twins quickly followed Lois.
