Chapter 97 Elves with Disgusting Personality (3)
Melissa, the Queen of the Elves. She was the highest authority of the elves, the leader of the entire race, and at the same time, an excellent archer and a spiritist who was loved by the spirits.
Thinking of Emilia, who was going crazy at the time… I, too, suffered from a deep sense of skepticism about the hidden nature of human beings. The reason why the other elves became more wary of humans is probably because they’ve experienced being victimized by her once.
However, Emilia’s depravity while living the rest of her life in the village of elves was so serious that even she was severely burned by Emilia, who showed terrible indulgence. Even today, hundreds of years later, there are people who cause PTSD just by thinking about her.
That’s right… I didn’t know that at all.
After all, history only illuminates the bright side. The part that no one wants to know about, Emilia’s terrible jealousy and desire for dominance are completely unknown to humans.
is that so? I used techniques very similar to Emilia’s, so I was worried that I might be a human who came to avenge her, but… I guess it was useless.
Looking at Jaeyoung, who seemed to know nothing about Emilia, Melissa’s complexion became relaxed as if she was fortunate. Without knowing that Emilia’s obsession with granting quests to avenge herself until death has not changed at all.
If you have nothing to do with Emilia… why the hell are you looking for us? For hundreds of years, no one has penetrated the treacherous Great Forest and reached our elven realm.
Jaeyoung doesn’t show much interest in Emilia. If so, Melissa couldn’t understand why the hell they had come to their territory on their own. However, Jaeyoung gave her something like that.
Oh that’s because of this.
What is this….?
Jaeyoung takes out a scroll and hands it over. Melissa took the scroll from him, unfolded it, checked the title, and put on a puzzled expression.
A trade agreement to establish regular trade routes…?
Melissa makes a hard expression just by looking at the title. she said, refolding the scroll as if it wasn’t worth reading any further.
You mean you want to enable human trade? Were you a merchant, not an archer?
Um…..well…? I’m not a merchant, but I’m not an archer either……..
The Bard of Anarchy. Although his name is a kind of bard, Jae-young doesn’t have any musical instruments to play, let alone sing. That’s why he was called a bard wherever he went, so he was at a loss whenever someone asked for a job.
I’m sorry, but if you’re here for this offer, I’ll have no choice but to decline. We won’t be doing business face-to-face with humans again.
Melissa refuses so firmly. In response to her reaction, Jaeyoung spoke in a calm tone.
I’m not trying to make a deal with a human.
I beg your pardon……?
Please read to the end. Who is the last person to sign it?
How to read the original contract carefully to the end. After seeing the title, Melissa opened the agreement again at Jaeyoung’s words and saw the signature written at the bottom of the scroll, and made a surprised expression.
Dwarf Chieftain?
A trade agreement signed by all the Senators of the Dwarves’ city of Sands of Forge and Chieftain Altair. When a whole bunch of unexpected dwarves popped out, Melissa’s eyes bloomed for the first time.
From what I’ve learned, wars fought hundreds of years ago weren’t exactly a truce. It is said that after falling into a lull at some point, without any contact with each other’s territory, they cut off exchanges and subtly fell into the current state… Is that correct?
Melissa did not answer Jaeyoung’s question. He was intently concentrating on reading the contents of the scroll.
We declare an official end to the war between the Dwarf and Elf clans, and prohibit insulting words and behavioral discriminatory treatment of each other’s races. With this agreement, we seek peace between the two races and spare no effort to form friendly relations between them.
Melissa mumbled the phrase several times, as if she couldn’t believe it even after seeing it again. She glanced at Jaeyoung and said.
…….The dwarves, who are the racial supremacists, made this proposal first?
Dwarves who usually say that they are inferior and live with all sorts of discriminatory remarks. Melissa couldn’t believe that they had come forward with a proposal to ban abusive and discriminatory behavior in the first place. However, Jaeyoung looked at her as if he was dumbfounded and asked again.
The elves I felt were also not easy, right? Obsessing over looks is more than a dwarf.
……
At Jaeyoung’s words, Melissa closed her mouth as if she had nothing to say, and pretended to read the scroll again, coughing. And as he read one phrase, he made a puzzled expression.
If you look here, the items you want to trade are…… Branches of the World Tree and the fruit wine we made?
Oh, and I heard that it would be nice if things like spirit stones and wing powder of fairies were also possible?
As Melissa looked over the proposal, she was deeply troubled. It’s as if she’s weighing whether this deal will ultimately benefit the elves. But soon, with a dark expression, he handed the scroll to Jaeyoung and said.
I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can accept this offer.
is that so……? If you don’t like a trade item, you can adjust it…….
sorry, but that’s not the problem. It’s just that we elves don’t have enough energy.
If you can afford it…
that problem… doesn’t seem like a problem that humans should be aware of. When you’re done with your business, let’s go back. The rangers will guide you back to where you were.
Melissa finally refuses and issues an order to celebrate. In response to her reaction, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung.
[The peace agreement with the elves has been broken.]
[The quest ‘Peace Delegation’ has failed
. ]
quest.
Because of this one, she went to the place where the elves lived and went through hardships, but Melissa firmly refused Jae-young’s proposal, as if something was wrong. But the reason is not even revealed. As Jaeyoung narrowed her eyes, feeling a strange sense of incongruity, L whispered next to her.
did i say You’ll have no choice but to listen to my request.
You…
Michael, smiling as if he foresaw this situation. The little angel asked Jaeyoung with an evil smile like a devil.
How would you like to hear my offer?
L rustling in front of an irresistible bait. Jaeyoung knew about her temptation but had no choice but to bite the bait. In order to get Melissa’s mind back, who wants to kick him out right now.
* * *
World Tree.
This gigantic tree, which has existed since the beginning of time, has supported Arcadia by being admired by many races living in Arcadia, including elves in the past.
Then one day, the bloody war that hit Arcadia was the Holy Demon War.
It was the World Tree that saved the lives of countless people who were bleeding and dying in the brutal war where angels and demons fought fiercely on the stage of Arcadia.
[Declaration of the realm.]
A world tree that has established an absolute peace zone by utilizing its authority. Children hiding in the shade of such a world tree, holding their breath, waiting for the war of transcendent beings to end. The World Tree warmly embraced them and took care of them as best they could.
[Don’t be afraid, my children. You are safe as long as you are under my shade.]
However, the war between the heavens and the demons risking their fortunes. In the tragedy of the war, which reached its extreme, the World Tree was also severely damaged.
Muspelheim emits a sacred fire that burns demons.
Deathbringer, the divine god of the underworld, that engulfs everything in darkness and corrupts it.
Even the gods that symbolize each world appeared in Arcadia, and one of the gods, the Deathbringer, got stuck in the wooden pole of the World Tree for some reason.
[Ah ……… This can be …….]
The power of the death bringer that corrupts everything. The World Tree did its best to suppress it. In the end, the World Tree succeeded in sealing the power of corruption with all its might, but in return, the World Tree had no choice but to go into an endless sleep.
So… ever since then, the elves have been busy protecting the World Tree. In particular, the place where the World Tree sleeps here is thorough in hiding its existence at all times. That’s why I never try to do anything that risks exposing the location of the World Tree to the outside world.
The world tree, unable to carry out its mission of self-defense, was in a situation where the elves’ protection was absolutely necessary. That’s why the elves were more reluctant to expose their base than any other race. Maybe that’s why, even though they were humans who had a cooperative relationship with the elves, there was no record of this place to be found.
Now I get it……Your proposal is to destroy the Deathbringer that put the World Tree to rest?
Yes.
L smiles evilly as if he was expecting that. At her reaction, Jaeyoung said with an absurd expression.
how……? I don’t think demonic magic is something that can be destroyed so easily…?
At that question, El flicked his hand and handed him a sword.
This should be enough to destroy without too much trouble.
This…..?
The sword L gave to Jaeyoung. It was the end of eternity used to completely annihilate the evil Lich Argamer.
[End of Eternity – Myth]
A celestial miracle that contains the nature of destruction to the limit. It was El who casually handed over a mythical-grade weapon as if he were taking out a japtem, but considering Tan’s reaction when he took it out in the past, it was clear that he was exhausting his tremendous probability.
Did I tell you before?
Seeing Jaeyoung’s expression, L seemed to know what he was thinking. However, she smiled strangely and tried to look calm as if nothing was wrong.
If you can fuck that damn cub, you will not choose the means and methods.
It was a moment when she could feel her tenacity to shove huge, thick candy into Tan’s face, even if the root of the celestial pillar was pulled out.
Whoops.
Resonance trembles as she holds the heavenly magic in her hands. And at that moment, Jaeyoung could sensuously feel the strong energy rushing through his whole body.
[The End of Eternity detects a great evil that needs to be destroyed.]
[All conditions for the hidden quest are fulfilled.]
[The quest ‘World Tree stained with evil’ has been created.]
Corruption continues to erupt as per the original flow. The world tree, which has to suppress the energy of the world and fall into endless sleep. However, at this very moment, the flow of the huge narrative that was already set in Arcadia began to twist.
Michael’s intense tenacity to fuck Tan at all costs.
The job of being a wanderer in a troubled world that can turn any flow as long as it guarantees probability.
Whoops.
A celestial miracle that has the power of destruction and is said to be the end of eternity.
And at this moment, Alice decided the theme of the new Arcadia narrative.
[Act. 2 The appearance of a new heterogeneous race]
