Episode 27 Decision (1)
She also had some doubts.
In this area, I searched everything except for this forest where the village of the elves was located.
But even the shadow of the saint could not be found.
Then, it is natural that the last remaining forest is the most suspicious.
Iriel, who had decided to step forward, spoke to the priest and the dispatched battalion.
They stopped in line when the saintess turned around.
Iriel looked around at everyone and emitted holy power from his body.
They shuddered before her overwhelming holy power.
However, this is just her calculated behavior.
It was nothing more than an attempt to raise the morale of allies and increase one’s own leadership by showing one’s holy power.
There was one effect.
They looked at her with different eyes.
She said with a beautiful smile.
“Everyone, take good care of your weaponry and organize your displays. We are going to the elven territory now.”
Iriel’s words were enough to panic even the contingent, no matter how demoralized they were.
However, the words came out of the saintess’s mouth, so she couldn’t even say anything.
When everyone else was unable to say anything about her words, the old priest who led the guard said to Iriel.
“It’s an elf territory. Isn’t that a place where humans are forbidden to enter?”
However, Iriel wondered as if he was worried.
“We are just going to talk. Responding with force should never happen except in the worst case scenario.”
“…All right.”
The priest knew she had no intention of fighting.
Considering her personality that I’ve seen so far, I thought a fight would happen unconditionally.
But she was a strategist before her personality.
Even if a fiery situation arises, it is the current Saint Iriel who thinks calmly and does what is beneficial.
It is not the most intense divine power among the saints who served in history, but it is said that it is the most outstanding brain.
It was impossible to know how many thoughts could be hidden behind that beautiful smile.
As he lowered his head and stepped back, Iriel looked around to see if anyone had a different opinion.
However, the highest priest among them resigned, and there was no big figure to present a different opinion.
With that, Iriel nodded and moved on without a word.
Since a large contingent is moving all at once, we should hurry even now so that we can arrive tomorrow.
It wasn’t even moving on horseback, so it was impossible to arrive on the same day.
In addition, riding a horse into the forest of the elves can feel a certain amount of intimidation from their point of view.
Because of such thoughts, she did not bring horses from Celia’s royal family.
Somehow, the battle was swept away by the atmosphere because she didn’t want it either.
Because high elves have existed there for a long time.

asked Ray when she stopped crying.
“Now how am I in town?”
It was something that they treated their landlord at will.
Of course, it was a shame because it succeeded, but he did not know what would have happened to him if he had failed.
Ira read Ray’s thoughts and laughed.
“do not worry. You are the benefactor of the elves. Whatever the process, didn’t you save me?”
“That’s true…”
Aira was serious as she looked at Ray, who couldn’t help but worry.
“If there is an elf talking to you about something… Well… I guess we should talk to someone like that for a bit.”
Ray couldn’t say anything more about her clear conclusion.
It was not unreasonable for him to be so concerned.
After the incident that healed Aira, he had never seen another elf, including Pia.
Of course, only one day had passed, but they still couldn’t come to Aira’s house.
Whether it was awe, respect, or fear.
Besides, it included himself.
When he was curing Aira, he drew an enormous amount of mana even when he thought about it.
It was such intense mana that it sliced through the skin just by coming close.
The elves, who are particularly sensitive to mana, must not have known that.
That’s why he thought there might be one or two elves who were afraid of him.
However, Aira held her hand as if she didn’t care at all.
Then he smiled and said.
“I held your hand like this when you breathed mana into my body. Then I was honestly surprised. I didn’t know there would be a human with enough mana to dare to interfere with my body.”
She paused for a moment, then went on.
“I knew it by feeling that mana. What is so-called humanity? You gave off a very strong human scent. So don’t worry too much. You just have to stay as you are.”
At the same time, she smiled brightly.
Even when she was still, she was dazzlingly beautiful, and when she smiled a bright smile that I had never seen before, I felt the surroundings brighten as if the air was colored.
I don’t even know what a person’s scent is.
But every single word from her was enough to make his heart cry.
Lay smiled as she turned her head away and hid her face as if she was slightly embarrassed while talking.
“You mean it smells like a person?”
Then she turned her head so fast that the wind roared, and said questioningly.
“It’s not the smell, it’s the scent! Smell and fragrance are different things!”
“Did I not wash like that?”
dory dory.
Aira shook her head so that her hair fluttered.
Then he lowered his head and murmured softly.
“…I thought I wouldn’t have to wash it for a bit.”
Again, Ray has very good hearing.
It was because his ears, which were normally good, were wide open due to mana.
It’s so good that her mumbled voice sounds as loud as if it were amplified by a loudspeaker.
“…I’m fifteen?”
“do not care.”
“You don’t admit that I care even if I die soon?”
“do not care.”
She was single-minded.
From the time Aira was lying down, Ray had something he wanted to ask.
As soon as the story came out, I decided to ask a question.
“But how old are you?”
Then, the confident eyes that had been looking at him until now began to tremble violently, wondering where they went.
To some extent, Ray, who was looking into her eyes, thought there was an earthquake.
She opened her soft lips.
“…It’s a secret.”
“huh?”
“It’s a secret!”
“…”
How old is it that such a violent reaction comes back?
Ray watched carefully.
“One… two hundred years old?”
“….”
I don’t think it’s because I can’t hear the answer.
Seeing a smile spread between her face buried in her lap, she must have been young.
“…five hundred?”
“…”
This time, too, no answer came.
One smile erased, it seemed to be slightly closer.
Ray said with a trembling voice.
“I can’t stand it… thousand…”
“I didn’t eat that far!”
She raised her head buried in her lap and shouted.
“Isn’t it? Hahaha…”
I awkwardly scratched my head and smiled, and my head turned back.
Asking his age, he buries his head in a pout and doesn’t look at him.
Even if they are of different races, they are not that different from humans. thought Ray.
Of course, the living environment and personality may be slightly different, but the basic things are the same.
Look at this.
Respected and respected by all elves, she has her head in her lap like a rolling armadillo.
Looking at this, how can we conclude that it is different from humans?
“…”
Ray rolled her involuntarily.
rolling around.
Confused, thinking about what was happening to her, she hurriedly straightened herself.
Instinctively, he seemed to think that he would not roll if he straightened his body.
Besides, he must have subconsciously thought that as a high elf, he would not do such an act.
“What are you doing!”
How embarrassing was it that this level of urgency came out of his usual quiet and dignified voice?
Ray looked at her and said.
“I thought you were asking me to roll it because you kept rolling it round.”
As she continued to roll while talking, she straightened up in embarrassment and suddenly rolled back up again.
I guess it was unexpectedly fun.
When did she lose her grace and roll around the room?
A smile spread across Ira’s lips.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. It’s strangely fun.”
Aira, who had been rolling around in the large room for a while, laughed for a while and then closed her eyes.
“I guess this is what happiness is.”
“It’s strange to feel happy after being rolled.”
“No, I am happy. Come to think of it, it seems that the reason I didn’t feel happiness was because of myself, who wasn’t interested in anything.”
“So you think you can be a little happier now?”
At Ray’s question, Aira opened her eyes and looked at him.
“If only you would stay with me.”
Her eyes were full of love as she spoke. It was not afraid of being hurt.
Even if you say ‘no’, she won’t even budge, let alone get hurt.
Besides, he wasn’t in a bad mood either.
A word from Aira makes her happy, and when she laughs, she laughs as well.
If such a thing were not called happiness, the word happiness would not need to exist in this world.
However, I don’t think we can be together right now.
He planned to travel to various places for medicine.
Knowledge is important, but experience is also important.
I wanted to gather knowledge from all over the world, find new knowledge, and strive to make it my own.
Also, isn’t Seongguk looking for him?
He was able to make up his mind only after a critical situation struck Aira.
Let’s go to the Holy Land and rip out the necessary knowledge.
Aside from being a religious country, Seongguk was the country with the most medical knowledge.
Isn’t that also the country with the largest number of priests and priests who heal people?
Everyone has the basic knowledge because it was so inefficient to heal blindly without even knowing the body part.
Besides, he had no intention of being used unilaterally by the Holy Kingdom.
After getting everything you need, you will leave the Holy Kingdom.
In order to achieve it, he intends to use all of himself, whether it be force, resourcefulness, wealth, or modern knowledge.
After entering the holy kingdom and taking out all the necessary knowledge, they will laugh at the titles of gods and saints they believe in so much.
‘Saints are the power of modern medicine!’
Until that time came, I couldn’t respond to her answer.
