Episode 117. A festival where the moonlight stays (2)
“Ha. ha. ha.”
Sylvia breathed heavily with an expression that seemed like she was about to die.
That’s right.
The road to the right, guided by Jinhyeok, was so rough that even the elves did not take it.
A rough road known to be virtually blocked.
However, Jinhyeok dug into the cracks in the rocks, crossed the bushes, and drove all the way to the entrance of the village at an insane speed.
Jinhyeok, who arrived a long time ago and was doing manual gymnastics, looked at Sylvia, who had followed him belatedly.
“I will go this way from now on. Because it is much faster.”
I’m not really good at telling you this.
Time is precious, so I’m giving you a special shortcut.
At Jinhyeok’s words, Sylvia made an expression of amazement.
“That’s right, of course it must be fast!”
How can you be slow on such an ignorant road?
Even if you shorten the time, you will be able to shorten it several times.
The only problem is that it’s a road where it won’t be strange if a few people die along the way.
‘How on earth can a human being show such a movement?’
Even if there is a senior ranger in this place, it is impossible to show such a flamboyant and natural movement.
Besides, aren’t the elves who were born and raised here perfectly aware of the path that they don’t even know?
It was hard to believe even when I saw it.
Because this… completely defied common sense.
‘Seriously, it’s not like a polymorphic dragon, is it? Like coming down from the tower to play. That’s why the elven meat… Knock it.’
It was at a time when Sylvia was immersed in all sorts of delusions.
I thought I could hear a very faint rustle of people.
Booung!
Whoops!
Something flew along with the sound of cutting the wind.
fast.
“ah?”
Sylvia was startled and couldn’t react, but before she knew it, Jinhyeok’s hand was holding a red dagger.
Kaaang!
The bounced arrows whirled in the air and landed on the floor.
Arrow shafts made of white wood and arrowheads with ornate patterns.
It must have belonged to the elves.
“Your attitude towards customers is very bad. Is it because you didn’t bring any housewarming gifts?”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
Then, a number of elves appeared from beyond the forest.
‘A lot of them gathered.’
At first glance, it is over twenty.
Rangers armed with longbows and daggers completely surrounded Jinhyeok.
“A guest… you mean?”
The one who spoke coldly was a male elf with long silver hair.
It is a beautiful appearance that can only be seen in movies.
However, what caught Jinhyeok’s eyes was not his appearance, but the annoying memories of him.
High Elf Teslon who is the Commander of the Rangers and at the same time ranks first, the highest rank.
okay. That’s probably his name.
Jinhyeok quickly activated ‘Eye of Gluttony’.

[Copy conditions: Teslon is a proud elven 1st class ranger. He takes pride in his bow more than anyone else, so if you want to copy his unique ability, shoot an arrow with a higher accuracy rate than him even once.]
Damn it. That’s right.
that guy This is the same guy that I chased from the festival to the outskirts of the forest before.
Jinhyuk let out a small sigh.
Look at that unlucky face. Uncomfortable memories from the past came flooding back.
Trying to chase me to the end of hell just because I made one mistake.
If there is an elf-type natural talent, it is the word that refers to this guy.
at that time.
“Teslon! Wait a minute!”
Sylvia, who was next to her, stepped forward.
Teslon, who had been stringing the bow again, hesitated.
“You… are you sure you’re not the Ranger under Elder Pennheim?”
“yes. My name is Silvia, a third-class ranger.”
“Tell me. Why are you with humans?”
“That’s…”
Sylvia blurted out. A cold aura passed by Teslon’s eyes.
“If you say bullshit that you brought this human into our territory, I will not forgive you, even if you are an immature little elf.”
“no. The elder also gave permission to invite this person.”
“what? You said the elder gave permission?”
Teslon’s eyebrows curled in reverse.
He has a suspicious look on his face as to whether what he heard was correct.
“It was decided when Teslon-nim went to the ‘Central Forest’. This is proof that you will bring him as a guest.”
Sylvia took out a sculpture made of sapphire from within her bosom.
It was a holy relic that only the elders of the elves could have.
“I can’t believe it. To think that the elder invited a human or something to the festival… and, of course, such an ungrateful bastard.”
Theslon muttered in a disgruntled tone, but that was all.
This was because even a first-class high elf could not disobey the elder’s order.
However, Jinhyeok, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, scratched his head.
hmm.
What can I say?
If you just endured it once, nothing would happen, but listening to such words, you wouldn’t be able to sleep comfortably 365 days a year?
“Yeah. I’m sorry for being a rude person. But can I ask one question? Go oh oh, is the noble dwarf shooting arrows at the customers with his dignity filled to the throat? Or is it that even your brain is so dignified that you can’t think?”
Jinhyeok spat out like a rapid-fire cannon.
hey After saying this, I feel refreshed.
I don’t know how other people hold back the words inside. After saying this, the congestion goes away.
“What? Did you just say that to me!”
“I was just talking to myself, but I think you’re going to get stabbed because you’re hot?”
“Looks like you really want to die!”
Teslon put an arrow on the protest in an instant.
fast.
It’s fast.
“I don’t think it would be wise to break the elder’s order. Are you really going to try?”
Jinhyuk didn’t blink an eye.
No, it was even more provocative.
“If I tried to shoot it anyway, it wouldn’t hit even a single shot, but if it seems like it’ll ease my anger, I’ll try.”
“…you bastard. If you believe in the elder’s invitation and sift through it, you’re making a big mistake now.”
“You are making a big mistake right now.”
because.
“Because I am the only hope that can fill them in time now that the ‘swamp figs’ for the festival are running out.”
There is a reason for this.
A moment of silence passes.
What followed was a huge commotion.
An earthquake occurred in Theslon’s pupil.
Surprisingly, the other elves around were the same.
“How about that?”
“How did you know we were short of swamp figs?”
“Nonsense. There’s no way an outsider would know…”
The murmur grew.
You will be embarrassed.
The first human I met knew the inner circumstances of the elves.
However, given this level of clues, it was difficult for Jinhyeok to pretend he didn’t know.
‘Theslon and the rest of the elves must have been wandering around the swamp a little while ago picking figs.’
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned downward.
The elves’ shoes were still clumped with dried mud.
It’s wet mud when the sun is good like this.
Isn’t it like advertising that you rolled hard in a place where there is water?
Besides, the ‘Central Forest’ mentioned by Sylvia is dangerous, but it is a place where many figs grow.
The fact that even rangers, whose main mission is reconnaissance and vigilance, were mobilized proves that there are not enough figs for the festival.
“You mean you know how to get figs?”
“that’s right. As much as you want. I can save you. If I put my mind to it.”
“…”
Teslon pursed his lips as if contemplating something.
But it was only for a short while.
“It’s questionable, but we are also in a situation where the fire has fallen on our feet. In particular, I will trust you just this once.”
This is so…
“I think you’re misunderstanding something.”
Jinhyeok smiled.
“I said I could. You didn’t say a word that you would do it?”
Where do you get special permission?
I think you still haven’t come to your senses, but I came here as a guest.
You’re one of those upset landlords who treat their guests badly.
Jinhyeok refused with a single knife and then looked at Sylvia who was next to him.
“Let’s go at once. After meeting with the elders, let’s talk about how we can help. Of course, except for the rude elf over there”
“Yes? yes yes.”
Sylvia reflexively nodded.
After passing through the encirclement of the elves, he slowly headed towards the village.
Of course, Teslon couldn’t move a finger.
He just gritted his molars and glared at Jinhyeok.
＊＊＊
After a while, I saw the village where trees and houses harmonize.
“Wait here for a moment. I will go inside and bring the elder.”
Sylvia asked Jinhyuk for his understanding.
Left alone, Jinhyeok leisurely admired the surrounding scenery.
The sight of the warm sunlight breaking through the blades of grass was truly spectacular.
‘Big. It’s really beautiful.’
How long have you wanted to come back here?
If I hadn’t played the damn Titanic then, I wouldn’t have suffered the humiliation of permanent banishment.
But you don’t have to worry about making the same mistake again.
I’ve already saved the relevant unique abilities for this event.
All that remains is to arrange the benefits and opportunities to be gained from this festival in the order you want.
‘I will take this opportunity to completely erase the dark history.’
Jinhyeok burned his fighting spirit.
how much time had passed like that?
rattle!
Finally the door opened and an elderly-looking elf appeared.
It feels completely different from Tesla.
Is this old man one of the elders?
“It took a lot of hard work to come this far. My name is Pennheim, who holds the position of elder of the village.”
Pennheim asked for a handshake as a sign of welcome.
“This is Kang Jin-hyeok.”
Jinhyeok also briefly introduced himself and held Pennheim’s hand.
I didn’t forget to add the traditional greeting.
“First of all, thank you for inviting me. Personally, I really wanted to come here once. Opportunities to come to the beautiful and peaceful village of elves do not come very often.”
“you’re welcome. Sylvia praised Jinhyuk so much after eating Jinhyeok’s cooking. haha. We are very fortunate to have met you.”
Pennheim burst out laughing, as if he was in a good mood.
“Cook, I’ll serve you right away, even tonight.”
“hmm…. Thank you for that, but before that, I want to ask you something.”
“Tell me.”
“I heard about the story from Sylvia, but she said that she could solve our difficult situation. Is that true?”
This is a story about ‘swamp figs’.
good.
I’ve been waiting for this topic to come up.
“Of course it’s possible.”
it’s possible
say it’s possible
“step.”
Jinhyeok cleared his throat and got to the point.
“It’s worth saying that it’s a price, but actually I want to see the elves’ archery skills. Is that possible? If I want to climb the tower in the future, I definitely want to learn archery, which is considered to be the strongest in mid-range.”
It is common knowledge among common sense that elves are good with bows.
Fortunately, Pennheim nodded as if there was nothing difficult.
“That’s about it, of course. how. Can I attach Sylvia to you?”
“no. I think I would feel embarrassed if I learn from an elf who is so good at shooting arrows. It would be nice if it was an opponent with a slightly lower skill level. That way, even if it’s your first time learning it, wouldn’t it be possible to imitate it to some extent with confidence?”
“Then which elf do you want to learn from? Is there anyone you want?”
“There is just one person.”
Jinhyeok pointed his finger at an elf.
“Hey there. If it’s that person, I think it’s perfect for my level of learning for the first time. ah! Maybe I can do better.”
The face of the elf who was pointed out was contorted in a grim manner.
“This… cheeky.”
Captain of the elven rangers. It was Theslon.
