Episode 183. Those who are protected by God (4)
It is not something you carry for self-defense to protect yourself in this unfamiliar place.
Look at this rust-colored, thick liquid dripping from the tip of the sword.
It’s poison. It’s also very terrible.
This elf came with the sole purpose of killing me.
“profit!”
To resist, he swung his other fist at my face.
I easily dodged it by turning my head and immediately dug into its empty armpit and pressed hard on the lower part of the wing.
“Ahh… … !”
As soon as he tried to scream, he grabbed the animal’s muzzle and completely blocked the sound from coming out.
Is a critical point a critical point for no reason?
Since even a small amount of force can make you enjoy the greatest pain, there is no place to aim more reliably than this.
Even if it is an elf’s body, it is not much different from a human’s body.
The more pain there is, the more it will never become less.
Just 10 seconds.
I wanted to ask him how he felt about experiencing pain he had never experienced in his life, but unfortunately time did not allow.
Without stopping, I immediately grabbed his collar.
“What are you? “Why is there someone like you next to Hastia?”
You shouldn’t be the one asking the question now, right?
It seems that the time of enlightenment I gave him was not enough.
This time, I raised my hand again to give myself a second moment of enlightenment so that no questions would arise.
“Now, wait! Do not misunderstand! I just showed up because I thought you were trying to harm Hastia! “I didn’t mean anything else!”
This is something I always think about whenever a situation like this comes up, but if I’m going to make an excuse, I hope it’s something more plausible.
Including this foolish elf, the rest of the members are hiding in the corner and don’t even think about coming out.
They were aware of our presence from the entrance to the city and continued to follow us.
Like Hastia, he probably came because he recognized the same white elf energy.
A colleague who was thought to be missing arrived at his destination alive and well?
Normal co-workers who sincerely hoped for her return would have appeared right away without hiding and asked what had happened.
But they didn’t do that.
Rather than appearing to welcome us, he secretly followed us with murderous intent that went beyond malice.
‘Can you hear my voice? It’s Hastia! ‘Is there no one around!’
The immature elf, who had no way of knowing this, was sending mental impressions to all directions.
I don’t know if it’s anywhere else, but this is Gauul, the capital of the Garam Kingdom, and is in front of the main building of the Garam Society, where there are many wizards of 7 stars or higher.
It means that there are many, many people other than me who can hear that mental response.
If you say things like that too much, you will be taken away first by the wizards of the society, not the white elves.
Deciding that the situation was not easy, I turned my gaze forward again.
“No more warnings. From now on, you only answer what I ask. “No editorials are allowed.”
I gently lifted my other hand and placed it on the ridge of its wing.
The elf nodded his head with sorrowful eyes, saying he would answer any question.
* * *
It was strange.
I could definitely feel the energy of the clan members around me, but for some reason, no one showed up.
He wondered if his voice was not reaching him, so he tried adjusting his mana more precisely, but nothing changed.
Hastia puffed out her cheeks out of frustration.
Still, the moment I closed my eyes again and tried to focus on mental awareness, thinking that I couldn’t give up,
-chin
‘… … !’
Someone approached without notice and grabbed her arm.
Hastia, startled, immediately turned her head.
‘Si, Xi’an?’
It was none other than Sian, who broke up with him a little while ago.
“… … .”
Sian silently dragged the embarrassed Hastia somewhere without saying anything or explaining anything.
Hastia just opened her mouth with an awkward look on her face, and for some unknown reason, her cheeks were turning red.
Although they wanted to go somewhere in this embarrassed state, their steps didn’t last long until they stopped in the middle of the street.
“… … ?”
She looked ahead with a puzzled expression,
From the end of the street where the two are looking,
There were many men wearing hoods.
They also noticed the two coming from opposite directions and turned their gazes one by one.
‘They’re my clan members!’
Hastia smiled with joy when she found those she was looking for, but the expressions on the faces of the clan members facing her were not very bright.
‘I was worried because it seemed like my voice wasn’t heard! Sian found it… … .’
For a moment, I looked back at Xian and admired it.
Hastia’s face soon became as hard as stone.
He noticed that Sian’s eyes, which were staring straight ahead with indifferent eyes, were filled with an unexplained wariness.
-Kwaak
Sian held Hastia’s hand tighter.

-Hwiik
Then, instead of going in the direction I was going, I turned around and headed towards the alley right next to me.
‘Si, Xi’an, why are you doing this? Did something happen with my clan members?’
Despite Hastia’s urgent question, Xian didn’t even respond.
Rather, I don’t think I like the speed I’m running at now.
-Sooooook
‘… … !’
Suddenly, she lifted her lower body, leaned on the wall, and flew up to the top of the building.
Hastia’s face turned as red as an apple when she was suddenly hugged, and she was unable to resist at all, let alone speak.
The unintentional escape time between the two continues,
Cian snapped his fingers in front of Hastia’s face, who had put her feet on the ground again.
“Wake.”
Hastia, startled, quickly shook her head.
A pitiful look could be seen from Xian’s half-drowned eyelids.
“How did you know that members of your clan were living in this land?”
Sian immediately asked a question without even having time to catch his breath.
‘uh… I didn’t know from the beginning, but I heard about it from clan members who had experience in the Human World. It has been settled there for quite some time… … .’
“Do you know where that place is said to have settled?”
‘Well, I heard it’s the Wusif Empire.’
“But why did you decide to meet in Garam Kingdom?”
‘Uh, that’s, I mean… … .’
Hastia could not easily answer.
‘S-sorry. I don’t know about that either. Just because the comrades who came with us were promised to meet that clan member here in Ghaul… … .’
Her voice was gradually becoming quieter, like the sound of a mosquito.
“The name of the clan member you agreed to meet, is it Nephrodite?”
‘Huh, how did you know?’
Sian bit her lip on the spot, as if she knew that would happen.
‘Hastia?’
In the midst of a serious conversation, another voice suddenly entered their heads.
The two immediately turned their gaze towards the place where they could feel the energy.
“Oh no! It’s really Hastia!”
Similar to the white elves we encountered on the street earlier, three white elves with their heads covered with hoods were running towards us.
“Roel!”
Hastia’s face suddenly brightened.
As soon as the elves ran over, they knelt down before her.
“I’m so glad you’re safe! We really don’t know what will happen to Hastia… … .”
Some were so moved that they even shed tears.
“You need to get out of this city urgently! Everything is wrong! “There is no clan member in this land who can help us!”
Hastia was looking at her clan members with a puzzled expression on her face.
* * *
Just once in my past life.
I once set foot in Pruina.
If I had to describe my impressions at that time in one line, I would just call it a land where humans cannot live.
Aside from the cold weather and barren land, the white elves’ view of humans was very impressive.
To put it simply, they avoid humans like pests.
This is different from the concept of despising them and thinking of them as a weak, low-class race like dragons.
I just hate dealing with each other.
To top it off, I’ve even heard that you are so unnecessary that you should be completely eliminated from this land. That’s all.
That’s why this immature elf is even more unique.
Didn’t the country follow a very suspicious person in an unfamiliar land, even while being kidnapped?
If it were any other white elf, this would have been unthinkable.
Anyway, a race that avoids humans as much as pests comes to ask humans for help because they are in danger?
Still, they are not a species so conscienceless that they abandon even their ancient customs.
They will try to solve the danger that confronts them on their own, even if it means being destroyed.
It can be said that they are a much more honest race than humans, who are born with the habit of being selfish.
In other words, what they have been trying to do so far is not the will of all white elves.
It is an extremely personal and unacceptable deviation.
“It was wrong from the beginning! In human society, there has never been such a thing as an educated clan member to begin with! “It was all a ruse planned by Garnian and his gang!”
A middle-aged elf named Roel said that a clan member named Garnian revealed his true colors after Hastia disappeared and instructed them to quietly follow them to Ghaul.
While I had no choice but to follow, I heard Hastia’s voice inside the city and told her that I had followed that energy to this place. Hastia asked with an incomprehensible expression.
‘Ha, but! Even though we were tricked into crossing over, what on earth was Garnian trying to do by bringing us to Human World?’
“We’ll find out about that later! For now, just think about getting out of here and returning to Pruina!”
Hastia appeared to be struggling to make a decision, clenching her fists together.
I don’t want to get involved in this serious situation, but right now, those friends are making two big mistakes.
There were no reformed clan members in human society from the beginning?
no.
there is.
It’s also in a very famous place and in a great location.
And what? A clan member named Garnian is the culprit behind this situation?
It may not be 100% yet, but I can be 99% sure.
That guy is not the culprit.
He is just a loyal follower who receives orders and moves.
The real culprit lies much further up.
While I was watching the uncomfortable conversation between strangers with interest, an elf suddenly approached me.
It didn’t seem like he had come to say anything nice, as he was lighting a lot of double wicks.
“you! “What is it?”
It seems like the protest was aimed at the wrong thing.
“What kind of trick were you here with, Hastia?”
It’s not that I don’t understand your wariness, but haven’t you realized yet that this kind of uncontrolled suspicion is of no help?
I didn’t think it was worth responding, so I just kept my mouth shut.
‘Stop it, Alphonse! Sian is the one who helped me!’
“That makes me even more suspicious! “There’s no way a person like this who is so suspicious and openly gives off a vicious aura would have helped Hastia with a pure heart, right?”
It’s not just suspicious, it’s a vicious energy.
Well, it’s not wrong.
At least, I think she judged me more correctly than that immature woman.
‘Senseless disparagement is not good! What is certain is that I was saved by Sian here! If it weren’t for this person, I might have done something bad by now!’
Despite her bold cries, her distrustful gaze towards me could not go away.
‘Although we only spent a little time together, and my immature mind may have made a hasty judgment, I will tell you this clearly!’
Then he came next to me with a rather solemn expression, turned to his clan members and said.
-chin
Then he suddenly grabbed my hand,
‘I gave my Soul Stone to Xian here!’
He spat out something incomprehensible.
What Soul Stone?
Let’s just stay still. I don’t think this is the first time I’ve heard of it, right?
I definitely remember hearing this somewhere… … .
“Are you crazy, Hastia?!”
Their reaction, which went from being disgusted to being horrified, was quite a sight.
