Episode 302. Didn’t leave in the first place (2)
Cloudy’s mansion.
The vast interior is filled with guests. I wondered how many people would come, but first of all, it exceeded my expectations. It’s the same when you look at the number of heads or at the level of an individual.
“It’s been a while since we met face to face.”
“is it?”
“You’re definitely more mature than before, Agentress.”
polymorph.
Due to the Earth Dragon’s huge body, it is impossible to enter the mansion. Kudhanax, in the form of a horned dragon, conversed with the elf Argentress in the mansion.
A conversation between a dragon and an elf.
The momentum emitted by the two non-standard beings.
Tolerable people would have no choice but to notice.
“As expected, it’s Cloudy’s banquet assistant. I got a good look before I even started. isn’t it? Aren’t you, the seriously tough red-eyed man there?”
“Right. It would be nice if you were the only one in your place.”
“Are you in place?”
“Why don’t you go up on the table right now?”
“Haha another savage joke.”
We were having conversations relatively calmly.
The promised time.
It was Cloudy’s territory that was not easy to find.
There were no exceptions to Grandfell’s knife-like time commitment.
Ding─
The bell rings and draws attention.
Some startled and asked each other.
“A bell that rings by itself in the air must be a magic tool, right?”
No, it’s not a magic tool. The spirits
I hired…
to be precise, Hiel hired, the Cloudy Mansion was full. The Jagoro Mansion needs an employee. But where is the manpower on the ruined Arcana continent?
‘Thank you, Hiel.’
{Native Elemental} Hyel.
Even more than that, thanks to the blessing of the World Tree, Hiel was freed from the hierarchy of the spirits. I was not familiar with the spirit hierarchy, but the person involved, Highel, kindly explained it by analogy.
-“As for the rank of the human world, it must be close to the grand duke.”
If you are a Grand Duke in the spirit realm, you are not the spirit king, but can you say that you are in the rank right below that? You’ve succeeded, Hiel. No, in some ways, it might be better than the Spirit King.
‘Because the spirit king can only lead spirits of the same attribute as himself.’
But, as you can see, Hyel, the {Indigenous Spirit}.
He was able to command all elemental spirits.
The appearance of such spirits
was clearly visible in my field of vision, which had not lost the sensibility of the days of innocence.
Ding Ding—
Sylphid, the lower spirit of the wind, shakes the bell.
Fire –
Ifrit, the lieutenant spirit of flame, lights the candlestick.
In addition, the spirits of all attributes moved busily.
They were preparing for the start of the banquet.
“…Are all those magic tools?”
Regardless of their abilities, only the chosen ones could witness the spirits in their natural state. It may seem to most people that the bell rings and the lights come on by itself.
But that’s not what’s important.
I opened my mouth.
“To those of you who responded to Cloudy’s invitation.”
Even while spitting out words, my mouth is dry.
It has to be!
From now on, I had to make fun of my snout as Grand Fell Claudy Arpheus Romeo, head of the Cloudy family. Yes, is there anything special in the yard that came this far, Hoyeol-ah?
…Damn it, I clenched my fists and opened my mouth.
“I, Grandfell Claudy Arpheus Romeo, welcome you.”
Seriously, I’m glad this isn’t real and I don’t have eyes to see.
Are you mentally stable thanks to that?
Or is it because of the shameless brazenness?
I faced the pouring gaze without a change in complexion.
The first to speak was a man with a shiny face.
“Garmond Peel, top of the diamond. Infinite congratulations on Cloudy’s return! I have prepared something because I don’t think my sincerity can be conveyed through words…”
The person who introduced himself as Gamond stepped forward.
Certainly, it has a merchant-like appearance from its appearance.
The expression on the smooth face is also quite rich.
Thanks to that, I was able to figure it out right away.
“I have prepared a gift in the hope that it will be of some help!”
After all, the wagon you drove was the gift, right?
In fact, is there anyone in the world who would refuse a gift?
The same goes for me and Lee Ho-yeol.
‘It’s kind of like a housewarming gift, right?’
Did I mention top of the diamond?
I don’t know much about him, but just looking at his name, he seems incredibly rich.
More than anything, the proof was that he had received an invitation from Cloudy. From the point of view of Garmond, a gift of that size, it might be nothing more than a roll of toilet paper.
‘Just close your eyes comfortably.’
If you get it, it’s good for each other.
But who is Grandfel?
A fundamentalist who thoroughly distinguishes between public and private life.
The worried muzzle starts to rampage.
“Is it really a gift of goodwill?”
“Yes, of course…”
“If not, is it a bribe with my intentions?”
You’re just asking outright, frankly.
A small laugh is heard at my words.
It is obvious that they are the ones who will happily look at complicated human affairs.
The dragon and the elf exchange impressions.
“I guess I should answer wisely here?”
“It is blasphemy. If it were me, I would cut it.”
“Are you warning me first? You’ve definitely been harmed, Agentress.”
There is no favor in the world without a reason.
Garmond must have a merchant’s estimate in his head. But who is the opponent? Even if you knock on the calculator for a hundred days, you won’t be able to estimate the words and actions that come from pride?
‘Even I can’t predict.’
But is it still a target?
“Of course it is a pure gift! I believe you will understand when you see the item. It was made up of only items that would help rebuild the territory. haha.”
As if there was no estimate from the beginning.
He answered cheerfully without showing his complexion. I’m sorry that I doubted you for nothing because you put on such a bright expression. Since the misunderstanding was cleared, I spoke kindly.
“I understand.”
I wish it had ended there.
did you say
But this guy’s snout never goes over anything.
I shifted my gaze.
This wasn’t just for Garmond.
“However, you seem to be misunderstanding one thing.”
“…?”
A question appears on the face of the left.
There was only one person who wasn’t embarrassed.
No, only one dragon, Kudhanax.
That’s also the case, because Kudhanax heard a shout first.
“Cloudy is not coming back.”
What does a grand ‘return’ mean?
According to Granfell’s standards, Cloudy never left the Arcana continent in the first place. The red-eyed man who introduced himself as Shaheen Dune politely bowed his head and said.
“Claudy’s housekeeper. Shaheen Dune, the leader of the Dune Clan, dare you ask a question?”
They were called the Dune Clan.
Unlike his rough appearance, he showed a polite attitude.
From a formal point of view, it is a passing grade.
As I nodded, Shaheen continued.
“I don’t dare to question the great family Cloudy. It’s just because I have a question. When you say you didn’t come back, it must mean that you didn’t leave soon… Then, where have you been and what have you been doing?”
where to do what
‘Besides Cloudy, the Lee family is also on the decline.’
I was busy living the current life after forcibly closing the Arcana Continent’s biography. However, could the world’s Grandpel style of speech be able to tell such a situation directly?
So, I answered honestly.
“I watched the Arcana Continent from a completely different world.”
…If you look closely, you’re not wrong.
Even if I stopped reading the Arcana Continental biography, I used to hear big news about him. However, Shaheen and others did not seem easy to understand.
“It’s a completely different world…”
“Are you referring to the New Continent, not Arcana?”
“Whoops.”
If I had been alone, it might not have been easy to convince. However, isn’t there an experienced person in this place who has gliding in a completely different world and making a loud noise?
Kudhanax stops laughing and says.
“A completely different world is a world that even our dragons can only access with great effort. To put it a little kinder, it is the home of all adventurers.”
A roaring sound follows.
“Are they adventurers who had the power of resurrection?”
“The hometown of those adventurers…”
“It’s a world that even dragons can only access with great effort. What did you mean by entering such a harsh world?”
That’s because I’m an adventurer!
Previously, reality was my real hometown, Lee Ho-yeol.
I wanted to tell you something cool.
If that happens, it would be disgraceful for this to claim itself as a Grand Fel.
Shouldn’t I also explain Lee Ho-yeol?
‘I’ll be happy for the big number…’
Looking at me, who was born as the 4th daughter of a wealthy family.
The name my grandfather gave me with great joy.
Think about what you have to say in front of them.
If that happens, surely there will be a back story?
‘What is Grandfel and what is Lee Ho-yeol?’
If the story goes that far….
I have no more excuses.
It means that I may have to expose my dark history…!
But fortunately.
“Isn’t it obvious that Cloudy moved?”
“…no way?”
“Yes, humans. The collapsing continent of Arcana and the world of adventurers. Cloudy has been protecting both worlds. From the time when even me and my own people did not notice until now.”
Suu Kyi was spared thanks to Kudhanax’s undeserved explanation. The dragon, the king of all things, speaks as if it were an assertion, so no matter how unbelievable it may be.
“It was natural for me to be unfathomable.”
Nodding—
Shaheen, who raised the question, had no choice but to bow his head.
Is it because I let go of an hour?
Only then do I become aware of myself as the host of the banquet.
‘Anyway, I still have to follow the banquet procedures.’
look around the crowd
Thanks to the spirits busy moving, everyone was holding a cup in their hands. The banquet will begin in earnest as all the glasses are filled and I raise the glasses.
‘A more detailed story can be shared later.’
Click—
I pick up the cup and the spirits busily fill all the cups. Only Kudhanax and Argentress can see the spirits. The two lightly thanked the spirit.
“Thank you, little friend.”
“thanks.”
“…”
“Thank you…?”
As the dragons and elves looked into the air and spoke, those who noticed them also thanked each other. is that funny The sound of the spirits laughing tickled my ears.
Yes, I feel like I want to laugh too.
‘…It breaks the real atmosphere.’
Before long, what filled the glass was neither red wine nor clear water. Yes. By this point, someone would have guessed? A green liquid poured into a luxurious glass.
Yes, it was green tea.
In Cloudy’s estate, Cloudy is said to be the law… but that’s how it is. Isn’t the powdered green tea that you brought by rocket delivery in such an expensive cup?!
Integrity and innocence and the dignity of a great nobleman.
A person who realizes incompatible contradictions in this way.
Even in reality and the Arcana continent, I will be the only one. Seriously…!
.
.
.
The atmosphere at the banquet wasn’t too bad.
“Haha, now you can go up on the plate.”
“Isn’t that where the pigs are?”
“Then the Dune Clan are going to sleep in the stable tonight? haha.”
…Well, the war of nerves between the giants continued.
Because in Cloudy’s domain, my orders are absolute.
No matter how drunk he is, it will end at the level of a childish pun.
than that
‘As expected, they were great nobles.’
After talking with them…
I felt like I knew why Arcana didn’t show up on the continent even when it was in ruins. Just like the Mage Tower couldn’t act due to complicated circumstances.
‘It was too strong, so it was tied to the settings.’
Of course, it is unknown how that setting was realized. But the important thing is that Cloudy’s invitation was stronger than the setting. I feel proud of my shoulders.
‘I’m an eye for an eye. Did you say that?’
Whether it’s a bad omen or Raymon Shen.
Be prepared because my dark history will never be taken lightly.
It was the moment when I made a promise that I couldn’t tell anyone.
“Sorry for this late.”
Took.
Suddenly, a ragged old man appeared out of thin air. First of all, I didn’t show any surprise. Even if you want to be surprised because of Grandfell’s face, you can’t. Wasn’t that just the magic of the portal?
‘I know the exact coordinates of Cloudy’s spirit.’
It was like proof that he wasn’t an uninvited guest.
However, it was only after meeting the eyes of the old man who raised his head.
I was taken aback.
The old man said so.
“Oops. What I received must have been an invitation from Lord Grandfel, the youngest head of the Cloudy family…”
He asked, looking straight at me without avoiding my eyes.
“…Who are you?”
