Episode 860
“What! “It’s the dragon that just disappeared, right?”
Martha looked up at the clear sky and frowned.
“Why is there a dragon in Seifia?”
She chewed her lip as if feeling ominous.
“Dragon… .”
Buren clenched his fists, revealing his ferocious killing intent. He seemed to still be angry at the dragons that destroyed Sieghart’s walls.
“Gold Dragon. It was also much bigger than Jackie Chan… .”
Runaan nodded, saying it was an ancient gold dragon.
“Well, then you’re not the Dragon Lord?”
Dorian gasped and his eyes fluttered.
“The Dragon Lord is the gold dragon, and he’s the biggest!”
“Not Rod.”
Raon lowered his gaze and shook his chin.
“Because the Dragon Lord is bigger than the Gold Dragon that just disappeared.”
I have encountered the Dragon Lord in its full form several times, so I have a rough idea of its size.
The gold dragon that disappeared a moment ago was an ancient dragon, but it was not a lord.
-That’s right.
Lars nodded quickly.
-Unlike that old guy, he looked alive. Whoop!
‘Why are you drooling all of a sudden?’
Raon tilted his head as he looked at Lars wiping the area around his mouth.
-The lizard’s flesh looked so soft that the king came out without knowing. Cheer up!
The guy was drooling continuously as if he was already thinking of a whole roasted dragon.
‘I’m sorry, but it’s already gone.’
Raon sighed with cold eyes.
‘Wake up from your dream.’
In fact, there are many things to ask dragons.
Why did they destroy Sieghart’s castle walls, why did they join Oma, and what is their hidden purpose?
The dragons had to be punished, and there were a ton of things to figure out, but there was no time to chase and fight someone who had already disappeared.
As Karun warned, there was no guarantee that he would win.
– For some reason, I want to eat this again. No, I think we will meet. Wow.
Lars blinked his hazy eyes as if he was missing the whole roasted dragon.
‘This insectivore is really… .’
Raon shook his head and looked back.
“let’s go. “You will find out the situation when you arrive in Seifia.”
I waved my hand at Gwangpungdae and climbed onto the path opened by the trees and bushes.
Recalling the memories of when I came with Rimmer before, I headed towards Seifi.
“stop.”
Raon walked through the forest for about 30 minutes and then stopped.
“Is there a problem?”
Burren quickly looked away with his hand on his sword.
“Someone is coming.”
Raon lowered his hand and lightly loosened his fingers.
Although it was still far away, I could feel a very subtle presence ahead.
It was the movement of elves who could use nature itself like wild animals.
As I stood there waiting, the thick bushes on the other side parted, and elves wearing bows and swords appeared.
They were the guardians who protected Seifia.
Its beautiful appearance, which is always jaw-dropping, shines even more elegantly in the sunlight falling gently between the forests.
“I meet my benefactor.”
The blue-haired elf leading the guardian bowed his head towards Raon.
It was Erian, Rimmer’s friend and head of the Guardian.
After summoning Ifrit and saving Seifia, he called himself her benefactor.
“Meet your benefactor!”
The other guardians followed Erian and bowed to Raon.
“hello.”
“How have you all been?”
Dorian and Yua waved goodbye to familiar faces.
However, because they had come to announce the death, their complexions were not bright.
“Long time no see.”
Raon bowed his head to Erian and the guardians.
“And I’m sorry. “I was waiting outside the forest, but he didn’t come, so I came in first.”
Even though I was invited, I apologized first because it was the same as having been kicked in the door.
“no. “We should have gone, but we were late because of work.”
Erian shook his head in a polite tone, unlike when he came with Rimmer.
“If it is, is it related to dragons?”
I asked, looking at Erian’s eyes that seemed to be filled with irritation.
“… “I see you saw it.”

Erian let out a short sigh as if he was embarrassed.
“you’re right. “I had a guest for a while.”
He acknowledged that the dragon had come as if there was nothing he could do since it was witnessed.
“May I ask what is going on?”
“… sorry.”
Erian shook his head resolutely.
“No matter how much we are benefactors, it is difficult to tell about our personal matters.”
He put his hands together and said he was sorry, saying it was not something he could say.
“no. “I asked something pointless.”
Raon waved his hand at Erian.
“… “I heard the situation.”
Erian’s lips trembled slightly as he looked at Rimmer’s sword stuck in Raon’s waist.
“So there’s one thing I’d like to know.”
“Please speak.”
“Rimer. “Is he really dead?”
“yes. you’re right.”
Raon took a deep breath and said that he had personally sent Rimmer.
“okay. Then again… .”
Erian’s complexion darkened as if caught in the shadow of a tree, and the moods of the other guardians also became heavier.
‘It’s a little strange… .’
Raon lowered his eyebrows as he felt the air suddenly sink.
This was different from what Rimmer said, which said that elves accept death naturally.
-It’s definitely strange.
Lars nodded as if agreeing with his thoughts.
-It wasn’t like this before when that fire spirit came out and the ghosts died.
The guy narrowed his eyes while talking about the time when the Red Flame Demon attacked.
‘Then Master was a special being after all.’
Looking at the eyes of Erian and the guardians, it seemed like Rimmer was a special person to them all.
“I will guide you to Seifia. Oh, before that, may I ask one more question?”
Erian turned his back and stopped as if to follow.
“What was his last day like?”
He turned his head back as if he wanted to hear that much.
“You were smiling. “It’s like you’ve shaken off all your regrets.”
Raon smiled bitterly, recalling the last sight of Rimmer.
“okay. “Thank you for telling me.”
Erian nodded with slightly brighter eyes and moved forward.
‘It’s frustrating.’
I looked at Erian’s back and chewed my lip. Since Erian, who seemed to be created from the word elf, was in such a state, I was worried about how Siyan, who was greatly influenced by humans, would react.
ha… .
Raon let out a long sigh while holding Rimmer’s sword.
‘What should I do. ‘Master.’
- * *
A true sacred place in Seipia where the world tree takes root.
“No.”
The elf, whose very being sparkled in gold as if wrapped around the sun, violently slammed his hand down.
“This is something that should never be accepted!”
She shook her head, saying it was something she couldn’t even think about.
“Siyan.”
Seyfia’s guardian, Sterin, called out to the blonde elf and sighed briefly.
He seemed to have been soaking in the end of time, his muscles were lost, and wrinkles were etched all over his face.
“The situation is not good. “If they attack suddenly, there is nothing we can do to stop them now.”
“But grandpa!”
Siyan bit her lip and stamped her foot.
“Don’t be so angry, but think calmly.”
Stelin calmly shook his head.
“I’m getting weaker at this very moment, and you can’t call Elaim either.”
“that… .”
Shi Yan couldn’t refute and bit her lip.
“During the last war, Elaim and Ifrit arrived in a state where the spirit world could not be stabilized, so the two spirit kings have not been able to answer your call until now. “Currently, Seifia lost her sword and shield at the same time.”
Stelin shook his head, clenching his fists with trembling hands.
“Then you can ask for help. Sieghart or something. “There are other five emperors.”
Siyan clenched his fists, saying he should contact someone else.
“until when?”
Stelin sighed briefly.
“To protect this place, you must at least become a transcendent. There is no place that can continue to dispatch transcendental workers here when we don’t know when a war will break out. And things are not going well for Sieghard either.”
He sighed, saying he hadn’t heard the situation.
“Siyan. You must protect your tree with your own hands. “If you rely on someone else’s help, the land will become dry from the beginning.”
Stelin shook his head, saying there were limits to borrowing someone else’s power.
“First of all, think in many directions… .”
As he was about to continue speaking, Leiran approached and lowered his head.
“Guardian. I’m sorry for what I said. Raon is coming this way.”
“Raon?”
Shi Yan looked startled and raised his head like a thunderbolt.
“Has it already arrived?”
“yes. “As the two of you were talking, Erian came out to meet you.”
Rayran nodded, saying he would arrive soon.
“okay… .”
Stelin nodded and slowly got up.
“Let’s talk about this later.”
He said he would go out to meet Raon and opened the door to Seifia.
“… all right.”
Shi Yan bit her lip and nodded. She looked up at her world tree and walked out.
- * *
A mysterious sight that makes it seem as if the forest itself has been transformed into a village, rather than a forest being developed into a village.
Raon smiled slightly, looking at Seifia, who had not changed at all.
‘It’s still the same here.’
There were many places that were burned in the previous battle with the Red Flame Demon, but they had returned to their original Seifia as if they had been restored by the power of nature.
‘No, they’re not all the same.’
Unlike before, the energy of nature comes closer to you, as if melting into your skin. She felt as if she had reached transcendence.
‘I feel like my auror is rising even if I stay still.’
Perhaps because the World Tree is nearby, the dense mana naturally melts into the body.
Pure mana was filling up in the mana circuits of the entire body.
However, I wasn’t that happy. Because there was no one next to me who could make me the most happy about this.
“I meet my benefactor.”
The elves standing at the entrance to the village bowed their heads towards Raon. They also didn’t look as good-looking as Erian.
“Long time no see.”
Raon pursed his lips and bowed his head to the other elves.
“hello!”
“how are you?”
Dorian and Yua, who had previously come together, also said hello to the elves.
“Nice to meet you.”
“The atmosphere is different from that person.”
“hi… do.”
Burren, Marta, and Runan also nodded as they looked at the elf blending in with nature.
The Gwangpungdae seemed to have not forgotten that they had come to convey the news of Rimmer’s death, and did not even look anywhere else, wrapped in calm air waves.
When Raon nodded in satisfaction while looking at the windpipe, the elves in front of the village stepped back, and Sterin and Siyan walked forward.
Siyan’s eyes were red and her shoulders were trembling, as if she was suppressing her sadness, and Stelin seemed to have aged by several decades while she had not seen him.
It was heartbreaking because it seemed like the emotions of the two people were conveyed as they were.
“See you, Guardian.”
Raon bit his lip and bowed his head towards Sterin with a frenzy.
“Get up.”
Stelin shook his chin in a calm tone.
“I was going to call you already, but thank you for coming.”
He waved his wrinkled hand as if he was welcome.
“Raon.”
Siyan gave me a greeting with his sleeves inside. When she saw that the word “jonjal” did not come out of her mouth, it felt like Rimer’s death was real once again.
“Follow me.”
Stelin lightly gestured and turned his back. I felt the strength in his steps disappear and my heart felt like it was being squeezed.
“… yes.”
Raon followed behind Stelin, unable to say everything he wanted to say.
He stopped in front of a small house that did not look like a guardian’s residence.
“okay.”
Stelin nodded, leaning his back against a tree that stood straight up to the sky.
“I heard that he died, but the reason was not properly stated. It looks like you’ve been through a lot. “Can you tell me?”
He seemed to have already figured out his situation and nodded, asking me to tell him the situation.
“yes. Let me tell you from the beginning… .”
Raon nodded and his lips trembled slightly.
Maybe it was because I had comforted the children when I came here, but when I tried to bring it up again, I couldn’t stop talking.
As I was trying to catch my breath, I felt a warmth on my back. Runaan was holding her hand as if he was aware of her feelings.
“are you okay.”
Runaan nodded as if telling him to take his time.
“thanks.”
Raon let out his suppressed emotions with a small smile.
“Let me tell you from the beginning. In previous wars… .”
I told Siyan and Stelin everything that had happened so that they could understand the whole situation.
“ah… .”
Shi Yan’s chin trembled as if he had never imagined something like that would have happened.
“I see. So that means she’s definitely dead… .”
Stelin sighed briefly.
“But why did it happen like that?”
Erian also narrowed his eyes as if he did not understand.
“… sorry.”
Raon knelt in front of Sterin.
“If I had been a little more cool-headed or stronger, this wouldn’t have happened. I’m truly sorry.”
He lowered his head and his lips trembled.
Realizing my teacher’s death was very different from telling it to his family.
My hands and feet were shaking from the pain that felt like my heart was being stabbed by a knife.
“Okay. He would have been satisfied because he died protecting you. So he must have gone away smiling.”
Stelin gently reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
“Besides, haven’t you heard it before? Elves become one with nature through death. “It doesn’t mean the end, but a new beginning.”
He shook his head and told me not to worry.
“The reason we are so serious is not because Rimmer is dead.”
Erian sighed as if he was frustrated.
“yes? then… .”
“No matter where an elf dies, they return to this World Tree and have their souls purified before blending into nature. but… .”
Shi Yan bit her lip and shook her head.
“My brother’s spirit hasn’t returned yet.”
She shook her head and said that was why everyone was worried.
“This is truly a damn thing. “It makes me worry even when I’m dead and alive.”
Stelin frowned deeply.
“…….”
Raon looked at the people with frowns, then put his hand on the requiem sword and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Wait a minute then… .’
Was this elf really stuck here?
