535.
“Pureblood Council minions!”
“I cannot forgive!”
Runia frowned as she looked at the elves shouting as they narrowed the siege towards her.
“now.”
A tendon protruded from Runia’s forehead.
“Who said?”
The tightly clenched fist was swung fiercely.
“You mean it’s a pureblood club?!”
Wow!
“Knock?!”
The elf who was attacking Runia from the front was hit on the chin and fell down.
At the same time, the knights surrounding Runia aimed their swords and narrowed the siege.
Runia snorted at that and snapped her fingers.
Just-!
Grumbling!
The elves who had attacked to subdue Runia were startled and backed away.
Runia saw that and narrowed her eyes.
‘There is no way to live.’
The other person had clear hostility towards us, but he did not have the intention to kill us.
If that were the case, Runia would not have stopped short of threatening her opponent.
‘Even so.’
Runia’s eyes narrowed.
‘These people are not wizards.’
It’s amazing.
Only those who have learned star magic can enter this elder.
There are people in those places who are not wizards.
Moreover, they are clearly hostile to the pureblood association.
‘What on earth is this?’
It was when Runia frowned slightly.
Eiran swung his sword.
A gentle breeze blew from the gently swung sword.
However, the wind soon turned into a fierce snowstorm and struck the attackers.
“damage!”
“Damn, it’s a magic swordsman!”
A bewildered voice rang out.
“Damn it!”
“You’re so young, but you have such skills!”
“W-I guess the Pureblood Association can’t win after all…?” … !”
“Do not give up! If we get caught like this, we’re dead anyway! We don’t care! But I think of others waiting for us!”
As voices full of despair were heard here and there, a woman’s voice was heard urging them on.
“What kind of people are waiting?”
“omg!”
The female elf knight was frightened when she saw Eiran approaching right in front of her, and swung her sword without realizing it.
visor-!
Eiran, who blocked the rapidly swinging sword, shouted ‘Hoit!’ He let out a small cheer and threw away his sword.
Using the strength of his wrist, he instantly pushed away the opponent’s sword.
The elf female knight lost her grip on the sword due to the unimaginable brutal force.
“profit!”
The elf female knight hurriedly raised her magic power and chanted a spell.
‘Wind attribute star magic.’
Eiran listened to the chanting and quickly grasped the type and scope of the magic.
Kwakagagak-!
A storm raged.
Eiran quickly got out of the magic range.
Taking advantage of that moment, the female knight grabbed her sword, which the female knight had let go, and took a stand.
Eiran’s eyes widened when he saw the opponent’s prepared posture.
“you… … “Where on earth did you learn that?”
The female knight shouted in Eiran’s voice of confusion.
“joy! “Do you find it fascinating that traitors use star magic?!”
“No, that doesn’t really matter… … .”
“You think you are the cause! But you are absolutely not justice!”
“therefore… … .”
“Be prepared!”
“Ugh.”
Eiran cried and shook his head as he looked at the other person who had no intention of listening to him.
But I soon gathered courage and spoke.
“Can you tell me why you raided this place?”

“Because people are starving!”
At those words, Eiran opened his eyes slightly and turned his head.
After checking the warehouse they attacked, he looked at the female knight once again.
As all elves are beautiful, she was also quite beautiful.
But there is a black mark on his cheek.
Just by looking at it, it was not difficult to see that she was a knight active on the battlefield.
A stubbornness can be felt in the tightly closed mouth.
Unwavering faith and responsibility were visible in his wide-open eyes.
‘I’m not lying.’
I knew that fact right away.
And Eiran knows.
The pureblood society they are hostile to is twisted.
Those who cannot learn star magic cannot set foot in this land.
People who couldn’t even use magic, let alone star magic, attacked the council like they did during the time of thieves.
Also for the purpose of stealing food.
Eiran knows.
This world that you want to protect is not beautiful.
Therefore, by looking at these people, I was able to realize that there were difficult situations that were difficult to imagine.
‘Conclusively… … That posture resembles the swordsmanship handed down in the Ersar family.’
That was also why Eiran was surprised to see the female knight.
Is this really a coincidence?
“Miss Runia!”
“why?”
“I surrender.”
“What?!”
Runia’s eyes widened at Eiran’s words.
At those words, the elves who surrounded Runia and Eiran also looked surprised.
“you… … .”
When the female knight looked at Eiran with startled eyes, Eiran stuck her sword in the ground.
“We are not a pureblood society.”
Eiran looked straight into the eyes of the female knight and said.
“I’m not even from this city. We are students of Seirun.”
“A student of Seilun?”
“The school that those high-ranking people go to?”
‘High-ranking people?’
Runia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the muttering elves.
“We all know the nature of the Pureblood Society and the twists and turns of this city. So why don’t you teach us?”
Eiran spoke unwaveringly.
“Why do you have to do this?”
Runia scratched her head at those words.
Then, he sighed and stood next to Eiran and crossed his arms.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“… … First of all, time has passed. So let’s take those two and escape from here.”
The elves nodded at those words.
They seemed to have kept their guard up and surrounded Runia and Eiran.
Eiran asked the female knight walking next to him.
“Who did you learn swordsmanship from a little while ago? “It looks like it hasn’t been long since you cooked it.”
“… … “I recently learned this from someone who helped us.”
“… … .”
Eiran’s eyes sank after hearing the female knight’s answer.
‘perhaps… … ‘You might be where these people are headed.’
***
Kwaaang-!
Leo narrowed his eyes as he heard the explosion from the council palace.
‘Runia and Eiran must be over there right now?’
It felt like the entire city was in turmoil from the sound of the explosion.
‘I’d better quit for today.’
Leo deployed his extra senses to find Chen Xia.
Leo’s eyes, who had thought he was far away since they had parted ways a little while ago, twitched.
There is no sign of Chen Xia.
Leo expanded his range of senses even further.
But there was no sign of Chen Xia.
If Chen Xia intentionally hid his presence, it would be difficult for even Leo, who had deployed his extra senses, to pinpoint Chen Xia’s presence from afar.
But there is no way Chen Xia would hide her presence.
‘There’s no way he went far in a short period of time, so the most likely possibility is that he was captured by someone.’
Chen Xia is absolutely not weak.
From Leo’s perspective, it was clear that he would grow into a strong person worthy of the name hero in the near future.
It would be impossible even for heroes to kidnap Chen Xia without a word.
‘If it’s him, it’s possible.’
Berkia, currently being pursued by Leo and Chen Xia.
It would be possible for her to take Chen Xia while avoiding Leo’s senses.
‘If Berkia is the culprit, why?’
Why did they take Chen Xia with them?
Because you’re human?
or not… … .
‘Did you know that you are a descendant of Bihar?’
Since Chen Xia found out about Leo’s identity, Chen Xia has been learning the sword techniques and Auror breathing used by Vihar from Leo.
Berkia would have seen it right away.
‘First of all, I’ll have to join Runia and Eiran.’
Leo returned to his dorm.
***
Runia and Eiran looked surprised.
“Where on earth is this?”
“As you can see, this is underground.”
“Oh, no. I understand that… … Why is there a city like this underground in Eldon?”
Runia asked urgently.
In response to Runia’s question, the female knight let out a small sigh.
“I’m sure you all know that Eldon is the greatest magical nation of the Elves.”
“yes.”
“And you also understand why Eldon was able to become the best magical nation, right?”
“Because this land contains the power of the stars.”
“that’s right.”
The female knight sighed deeply.
“First, let me introduce myself. “My name is Lell Cornea.”
“Konea? Are you from the Cornea family?”
“The famous Cornea family?”
“Miss Runia.”
Eiran, who was surprised, reprimanded Runia for her extreme remarks.
But Rel only smiled bitterly.
“It’s okay because it’s not wrong. Besides, I have no particular pride in my family. “Because my family treated me like a failure to begin with.”
Cornea family.
It is a prestigious family with influence that ranks among the top five within the elf race.
They produced the heads of Eldon’s council for generations and were famous for being the second most powerful users of star magic after the Tingel family.
The reason why they were able to have a reputation comparable to that of Tingel, Seirun’s family.
That’s because of the uniqueness of ‘Eldon’, where they founded the country.
The land where Eldon is located is imbued with powerful star power.
1000 years ago.
A meteor fell on this land, and the power of the star naturally permeated the land.
The source of star magic is star magic.
As a result, many star wizards were naturally produced, and star magic also made rapid progress.
And as a result, the pureblood association naturally took root.
Born as a chosen one in a chosen land.
It must have been sweet words to purebloods.
“But contrary to what is known to the outside world, the power of the stars flowing through this land was exhausted a long time ago.”
“yes? But doesn’t Tingel still produce many star wizards?”
“yes. Because the power of the stars still flows through this land.”
“yes? What is that… … .”
“It’s because of that.”
Rel pointed to the tower rising in the center of the underground city with disgust in his eyes.
And all kinds of magic circles were plastered there.
“That… … .”
“Everyone who lives in this underground city cannot use star magic.”
Rel’s face distorted.
“And that tower drains their life force, allowing the star power to flow throughout Elden as before.”
Runia and Eiran looked shocked at the shocking fact that far exceeded their expectations.
“… … “At first, criminals were imprisoned here.”
“ah… … .”
Runia looked surprised as she remembered something.
At one time, Eldon actively accepted sinners within elven society.
“But soon that wasn’t enough. So the Eldon Council got an idea. “Let’s create a class that is unknown outside the country.”
Rel’s face twisted in disgust.
“Those who do not have the qualifications to use star magic… … “Let’s confine them underground and turn them into livestock that supplies the power of the stars.”
Runia felt herself becoming dizzy.
What expression would Luna have made if she saw this?
Eiran also had a white face and his hands were shaking.
“Have you ever thought about destroying this system?”
As Runia hurriedly asked, Rel bit his lip.
“They say the elves sent here accepted their lives. That’s because I’ve been accustomed to life here since I grew up. However, there was nothing lacking in life. “I just didn’t know about the outside world.”
Rel’s face clouded.
Living in complacency with reality.
From their perspective, they may be satisfied with their lives.
However, from Rel’s point of view, it is an extremely miserable life where everything is controlled without being able to enjoy one’s own life.
“But recently, as food has become scarce, the atmosphere here has started to get ugly.”
“Could it be that the cause of the food shortage is the narrowing of the position of the Pureblood Society in elf society?”
“you’re right.”
The northern part of the continent is a winter land.
As such, we have no choice but to rely on external sources for most of our food.
Originally, because the Pureblood Association was strong, they would have been able to use that power to distribute a lot of food to Eldon.
However, as the status of the Pureblood Association has recently fallen, difficulties in securing food have arisen.
In the case of Rel, it is said that he was shocked to realize the existence of this city a long time ago and disowned his family.
And he said he came here voluntarily and was taking care of the people here.
“how… … How could you do this to your own people… … !”
Anger welled up in Eiran’s eyes.
“If we are suffering from a food shortage, can’t we get out of here?”
“There is a barrier in the underground city. “Unless you have mastered star magic, you cannot go outside.”
“But those who went to get food earlier couldn’t use star magic, right?”
“This was solved by an outsider who recently visited this underground city.”
“An outsider who visited the underground city?”
“yes. We are now going to where he is staying. “For now, he is in charge of this city.”
Runia gave an expression of confusion at Rel’s words.
‘You recently came to the city and became the city’s manager?’
With a puzzled expression on his face, Rel arrived at a building.
And then I knocked.
“come in.”
At the sound of a voice coming from inside, Rel opened the door and went in.
As soon as I entered the small house, I saw the living room.
And Runia and Eiran gaped at the sight they saw in the living room.
Rel also looked embarrassed.
On the table was a scene that did not fit in with this underground city where food is scarce.
There were plates piled up on the table, and on top of them there was a mountain of delicious-looking food.
And Chen Xia, sitting on one side of the table, was stuffing the food in front of her with trembling hands.
“Lu, Miss Runia? “Miss Eiran?”
Chen Xia opened her eyes wide and called out to the two people.
“Save me… … .”
“Who’s here?”
A beautiful woman with an expressionless face appeared in the living room, holding a pot in her hand.
Runia and Eiran opened their eyes wide when they saw the woman.
“I guess you are the friends Sia was talking about?”
Berkia smiled faintly.
“teacher… … This… … ?”
When Rel cautiously called out to Berkia, Berkia answered.
“Ah, my friend’s granddaughter… … ? It’s the same kid, but he seemed to be eating poorly and was too skinny, so I was giving him food. Sia, do you have to eat everything?”
“I can’t eat it all… … .”
“If you’re a picky eater, you won’t be able to use it.”
Chen Xia’s face turned white.
Eventually, Berkia’s gaze turned to Runia and Eiran.
“Are you also very thin?”
The two girls felt fear for some reason at the unexpectedly warm words.
