Episode 31 Saint and Saint (3)
Iriel frowned as he heard the occasional sound.
It wasn’t because there were bad stories about him.
I was annoyed at their stupidity for not expecting even such a simple thing.
No matter how young the underdog is, it is a unit that has been selected from the promising players of the Seongguk who are said to be born in that age range.
They only have power, but what they think is not even close to themselves.
Shaking her head with her arms crossed, she looked around and said as the monsters seemed to be mostly cleared.
“It is no longer possible to stay homeless here. Let’s find another place.”
Their bodies were exhausted at her words that they would move again, and of course they were annoyed.
In other words, the saintess was annoyed by their stupidity, and they were annoyed by her actions.
When we tried to act in a situation where we were annoyed by each other, we couldn’t find the speed.
Thinking that the time was slowing down because the speed wasn’t coming out, she got even more angry.
She sighed and raised her right hand.
At that moment, a bright light centered on Iriel illuminated the surroundings.
I was worried that someone would see the light and summon the monster again, but since the priests were still, I stayed silent.
First of all, they are not stupid either.
Since this light was made of holy power, there was no need to worry about summoning monsters, so it was possible to use it like this.
If it was a light made of magic, it would not have been a task to summon monsters familiar with mana.
Around Iriel’s body, the same divine power as last time raged.
The people around the saintess felt the scars and fatigue go away at once and enjoyed the fullness of divine power.
Thanks to that, I had no choice but to come out with speed.
It was because he was in the same physical condition as when he had a good rest in the Holy Land.
Iriel thought that he would rather continue marching without being homeless, but then shook his head.
Fatigue of the body and fatigue of the mind are two different things.
The fatigue of the mind is something that cannot be recovered even with divine power.
Homelessness was inevitable.
Iriel decided to stay homeless and looked at the elven village where the saint was for a while.
* * *
Since there was no good place to camp in the high terrain, the saintess and the others had no choice but to settle down on a small mound.
The Sanggyeondae, which was deployed around the hill, was protecting the saintess with the lower gyeondae outside.
Even if the monsters suddenly attacked, only the saintess would be safe.
Iriel sighed as he looked around at the guards preparing to sleep in the tent.
“At this rate, it would be impossible to arrive tomorrow morning.”
If you wake up early and set off at dawn and can’t arrive in the morning, you’d better just let them rest.
It was only difficult for Bilbildae to lead the body and reach the elven village.
Her quarters were tented and luxuriously built.
In the first place, it is natural to sleep in a place built by the Sanggyeondae rather than the tent made by the Hagyeondae.
While sleeping in the house, a tent made of fine silk and soft cotton were laid on the straightened ground, and heated stones were placed in the ground.
This could be said to be more comfortable than most inn beds.
While she was drinking tea watching them busily prepare, an old man in a fancy dress entered.
With an orange thread embroidered on his shoulder, he was one of the most authoritative priests in the Sanggyeondae.
Iriel glanced at him and immediately turned his eyes to savor the tea he was drinking.
The priest bowed his head to Iriel.
“We are almost ready to stay. It will probably arrive at the elven village sometime tomorrow.”
Despite the priest’s polite daily report, Iriel only nodded once.
Savoring the tea, she opened her closed eyes and put the teacup down on the table.
Tak-
The sound of putting down the teacup could be heard loudly because it was in the quiet tent.
“No matter how big it is, it’s too slow.”
The priest sweated profusely at Iriel’s noticing.
“Because there are so many monsters in the mountain range itself, it feels a bit slow to move forward. But even this is fast enough.”
“It would be faster to go alone.”
I just hang my head, as if I have nothing to say at the sarcasm.
To be honest, I really didn’t have anything to say, but the other person was a saint.
It wouldn’t change just because he said something, and he didn’t even know if he should worry about his throat.
So, naturally, I kept my mouth shut.
The priest still wanted to live longer.
Iriel looked at him and said.
“Tell him to get enough rest from now on. Today was tiring, so let’s start off a little leisurely tomorrow.”
It was too late to arrive in the morning anyway.
To get the best effect, it was necessary to let them rest.
Your position may change depending on how much you consume and return.
If he was annihilated and returned, he would be shaken no matter how much he was himself.
Even one more person had to be saved and sent back.
The priest bowed his head and replied.
“All right.”
Saying that, her eyes subtly glowed, as if she wanted something.
She shot a small ball of light at the priest.
The pure golden light flew and was absorbed into the body of the priest.
“Huh uh uh…”
The priest’s body trembled greatly at the pure divine power.
Even pleasure is mixed with quietness.
The divine power emitted by Iriel soon lost its light and then slowly dissipated.
The priestess only held onto her chest with a face that was indistinguishable from whether she was smiling or frowning.
‘Annoying every night.’
A feeling of displeasure rose from the appearance of the priest requesting the recovery of divine power once a day.
Besides, if you just receive divine power, you won’t know.
It was not nice to see him trembling and moaning from pleasure.
Expressing her mood by simply turning her head, she issued a congratulatory order to the priest who felt the afterglow.
“Then just go back.”
“Heo-eok… Yes…”
Iriel was able to rest after staring at him until he disappeared as he lowered his head and headed toward the bed as if possessed by something.
* * *
The festival of the elves was quite amazing.
Ray, who wondered if there would be any food to eat when they had a feast that did not harm nature, had no choice but to drastically revise his thoughts.
They have developed their own food.
Like making tea by grinding fallen leaves that have a good fragrance, or boiling mushrooms that live on trees.
Besides, I don’t know what kind of spices they use, but the taste wasn’t bad either.
Rather, I just fell in love with a different taste.
The elves greeted Ray, who was gorging himself on food.
Ray, who was busy eating, nodded at their greeting.
A middle-aged elf came to Ray’s side.
“I thought this was a simple human helper, but it turned out to be a giant. ha ha ha.”
Puck-puck-
speak and pat the back hard.
Are you planning to spit out all the food you ate? Ray choked and swallowed the food that was about to come out of his throat.
“Kek! Keck!”
Undoubtedly. This middle-aged elf must have been sent by the Holy Land to assassinate him.
However, no elf cared about him as he clutched his neck in agony.
Everyone just looked at it with pleasure.
The elf, who ruthlessly struck down his back as if it were his parents’ enemy, soon disappeared with a laugh.
“Oops, I’m going to die while eating.”
It wasn’t the first time he had been hit on the back like this, so Ray hurriedly avoided the seat.
Although he was the main character of the feast, he was burdened by the great interest of the elves.
It was because the expression they were looking at was like looking at a hero who saved the country.
As I moved along the deserted road, I suddenly thought of Aira.
When I thought of her, who did not show up in the main organizer of the festival, she was climbing a tree.
While moving to the center of the village, it was difficult because of the elves talking to them, but as soon as they started climbing the tree of Aira’s house, they stopped talking to them.
“Heh heck heck.”
Maybe it’s because she’s used to climbing trees, but now she climbs trees better than elves.
Shortly after arriving at her house, Aira was waiting at the door with her arms crossed.
He probably realized that he had come and came out to meet him.
“What’s going on?”
“Hehehe…”
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Ray answered as he calmed down.
“Whoa. After all, this is the only quiet place.”
Covering the corners of her mouth, she laughed and pointed inward.
“Whoops. Come in.”
As I entered the house with Aira, a pleasant scent of flowers wafted through me.
“What scent is it? I think it’s a familiar scent…”
Aira smiled at him as he closed his eyes and savored the scent.
“Isn’t today your day? A celebration of my own.”
“ah! The scent of this flower… is it the flower in the yard?”
“right. I moved Diher into the house.”
As she pointed, she saw a small flower on the table.
Perhaps the fragrance was amplified by magic, and although there were only a few flowers, the scent was strong.
The soothing scent somehow made me feel more at ease.
As expected, her house, which was quiet, was more familiar than anywhere else in town, so it calmed me down.
It was a contrast to the noisy atmosphere below.
As Ray sat at the dining table and looked out, Aira, who had been making tea in a small cup, handed him the cup.
After receiving the tea and taking a sip, he said with his eyes still looking out.
“Ira, why don’t you go outside?”
“It’s a pretty heavy question for drinking tea.”
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to.”
She shook her head quietly.
“It’s nothing I can’t say. Where should I start talking… Once upon a time, there was a small incident between a high elf and an elf. Because of that, I refrain from going out.”
“Event?”
When I said it with curiosity, Aira explained.
“There is a difference in class between high elves and elves from the time they are born. That’s why no matter how young you are, you must be in awe of the elves.”
She put the tea in her mouth and continued.
“But then something happened. An elf’s attack on a young high elf was the trigger, and the high elf left the group. I think you know because something similar has happened before.”
Ray nodded.
Didn’t the young elf’s words almost cause her to leave the forest tribe of Grandel as well?
It seemed that he was restraining himself from going down to prevent this from happening.
Even if it wasn’t her fault at all.
Thinking for a moment, she closed her eyes, then stood up as if she felt something.
Rei looked up at Aira at the sudden movement.
“why?”
“Looks like something happened outside.”
“What happened?”
I tried spreading the mana widely, but all I could feel was the movement of the elves enjoying the festival.
Neither one nor the other was what she said.
The holy kingdom flashed in Ray’s mind for an instant.
Those who said they were looking for them are scouring a country like a dog.
Even though it was an elven village, it didn’t seem like they could avoid it.
His complexion also naturally hardened.
I knew it would come, but I never thought I’d find myself so soon.
I don’t know how competent he brought in to take him, but it’s not common for him to find himself so quickly while searching a kingdom.
A sigh came out.
My head ached to have to deal with such a person.
“…Sorry. It’s probably my problem.”
