Chapter 60. If possible, Dream(2)
Ravens also eat weeds.
However, there is a strict condition that the weed must be ‘hand-handed by the 3rd prince of Kairis’, but he eats it anyway.
It wasn’t as good as Estina, who walked around and filled her stomach on her own, but she still didn’t reject Calian’s touch. I compromised on that much while visiting the city of elves last year. Of course, this means that Raven made a compromise.
“You’re eating well, Raven. You’re so kind.”
So Calian patted the very special Raven, who devoured the grass he gave her as well as the ‘hearty salad full of fresh vegetables for our prince’s health’ that Jan had prepared for him.
The excuse was that there was no room for food in his stomach thanks to the pork that Arsene had been busy roasting and transporting four times that morning, and the excuse that Raven needed to eat good things was half mixed. Calian said he was satisfied for passing Jan’s salad to his horse for a plausible reason. He laughed as if he were laughing. Then, he hugged the large, jet-black Raven’s head tightly with both arms and climbed onto the saddle.
You probably wouldn’t know that the same green peas that replaced breakfast were looking at Calian and Raven with a subtle expression. maybe.
“Let’s go now.”
Planz suddenly ended up eating something that resembled a horse. Seeing Planz like that, Arsene, who somehow failed to hold back his laughter and made a bizarre noise, also got on the horse alongside him. After that, we set off for the elf village that Alan had told us about, located northwest of Bridget Forest.
‘Raven. The one I ate earlier was a raspberry and that one over there is something else. ‘Don’t eat it because it will upset your stomach.’
Plantz listened to his younger brother’s words and closed his eyes for a moment. So, it was to try to shake off the suspicion that my younger brother seemed to view me as the same person as mine.
“older brother.”
“why.”
“Did something unpleasant happen? You keep looking sour.”
“no.”
“lie.”
I really recognize Planz’s face, which is always consistent. It would be better to find out the cause, but it seems we don’t know enough to know that.
But what can I do? As an older brother, I can’t show my narrow-minded side in front of my younger brother. I had no choice but to hold back and glare at the crazy blue-haired wizard who was still sputtering because of Calian’s salad.
“…… under.”
It is truly a peaceful morning.
“If it’s because of a dream your brother had.”
No.
It’s not because of the dream, but because of the rice you fed to that wonderful horse, just like mine.
I just can’t say that.
“……Please tell me what you dreamed about.”
“no.”
I just answered no.
Maybe I imagined it on my own because of Chase’s hair color, maybe I saw a fantasy on my own because of Sinastar’s color, or maybe I found the answer to my question thanks to Mother Tree.
If I told Calian about seeing a color other than black and red and asked him directly, I would have been able to find out whether it was a real dream or not, but I didn’t tell him.
“It wasn’t. It was a bad dream.”
“Well, that’s good. Instead, if anything strange happens, please tell me.”
“Okay.”
“yes.”
I can’t possibly ask that.

Elven village.
Alan was allowed to enter. However, Adelia and Serjane were not only not invited, but were also expelled.
“Some elves also have the ability to transcend time. Among the elves I know, there was one child who didn’t have precognition, but he had a special way of speaking. I think I’m influenced by my mother to a certain extent. It’s about precognition, so it’s grandiose. “It may be more of an intuition than a speech, but compared to the past, there has definitely been an increase in the number of cases where vague premonitions come true.”
Coordinates given by Alan.
The entrance to the elf village.
Until we arrived there, the mother tree did not stop us in any way.
“Of course, the Mother Tree also has the same ability. It seems to perceive things beyond time more broadly and more accurately. Wouldn’t the Mother Tree know what kind of fight would break out between the two archmages when the Master was let into the village?”
“I guess you got it.”
“I think so too. In fact, even without predicting the future, anyone would be able to make such a prediction if two wizards radiating evil energy entered an empty village. Even so, Mother Tree did not stop Master from entering there.”
eve. The Margrave, who came to visit Arsene, informed him that he had secured Serjane’s identity. There was also talk that it seemed like Serjane had been expelled from the forest.
However, Mother Tree did not banish Alan even though she knew that he would destroy the village.
“Isn’t it true that you don’t have the ability to banish Commander Manasil? Didn’t you say that it wasn’t Mother Tree herself who stopped the fight, but with help from Sispanian?”
“There is still no earthquake damage in Kairis.”
“Yes. I agree with Lord Hertz, and I think what you said is correct. There has never been an earthquake in the land of Kairis, so I don’t think the Mother Tree is too strong to prevent the Master’s visit.”
The mother tree is not weaker than Alan. but.
“I wondered if there was no reason to stop the teacher… Sispanian had to go back in time to stop the fight, so it seems difficult to say there was no reason to stop it. In that case…” “Because it’s Secretia
. ”
“Yes. Because it was Secretia, it could not have prevented the teacher’s visit directly, so it may have borrowed the power of Sispanian to stop the fight and restore the situation. That’s what I think.”
“Are you saying there is Serenti’s influence, Prince?”
“It is said that Serenti and Sispanian are not on good terms, and Sispanian is still taking on Serenti’s role. Danu’s name does not appear anywhere in the War of the Two Gods. Danu, like Sispanian, is a life created by Serenti himself. Even though it was.”
Calian, who responded to Arsene’s words, opened his mouth again.
“And this land, of course I don’t believe in it anymore, but it is said to be blessed with Serenti’s blessings.”
Arsene nodded, remembering the time in Serenti when blue light fell like snow.
“I remember. It is a phenomenon that occurs throughout Secretia, and I also heard that it did not appear in Tensil land after Tensil became independent from Secretia.”
“That’s right. Considering that, no matter how asleep Serenti is, there is only one place where Serenti’s power can reach… If the relationship between Serenti and Danu is not very good, Danu will not be able to use his power in Secretia. “I thought that might be the case.”
“So you’re saying that’s why we didn’t give way to the elves here?”
It was Plantz’s question, and Calian answered with a slight frown.
“Well, when Devlan was threatening this forest, Danu did not allow the elves living in this village to escape through the forest path. Because of that, I ended up meeting the elder of the elves.”
“It opened up after that.”
“Yes. It must have been opened around the time Siren Siren and Grace had a fight in this forest. He promised me that he would do so.”
“okay.”
“As I said at the time, I somehow thought that Danu didn’t open a road for me to come here. It was because of what happened here that I came here myself. Rather, it would have been better to open a road in the forest. “It makes more sense to say that I couldn’t open it because it was difficult, but even now, I still think that I blocked the elves’ path because Danu was trying to call me.”
A vague feeling that is difficult to explain to oneself.
Calian, unable to fully express what he felt, let out an embarrassed laugh.
“It’s a strange thing.”
“not really.”
“It’s not strange.”
Since someone who had experienced something even more strange than that was saying something strange, Planz and Arsene lightly denied it.
In any case, there is a possibility that the mother tree may not be able to use its full power in Secretia, and there is a possibility that the mother tree did not open the forest path to lead Kalyan here with some intention.
Calian spoke softly, keeping both of them in mind.
“There must be a reason… You’ll find out when you go in.”
“okay.”
Calian, looking at Planz with a face that was not at all tense and Arsene with a more carefree expression than ever before, let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.
“I don’t know if I will actually meet the Mother Tree or if I will recover my memories if I meet her, but there is a chance. Danu and Sispanians are not humans. Their consideration and understanding are different from human standards. So maybe… ….”
“I’m saying you might be shocked by something you can’t see.”
Plantz, who cut off Calian’s story, spoke to Arsene.
“Stop saying it and I already know everything.”
“Uh… this is my first time hearing this, but you are the Vice Commander, Crown Prince.”
“They said it was okay.”
“Yes. I’m not saying it’s not okay.”
“Okay. Then.”
You have to hear warnings a hundred times to know that it will all be in vain the moment you experience it yourself. So, as if to stop wasting time, Plantz made a territorial move towards Calian.
“go.”
“yes.”
Calian answered with a sigh.
Soon Raven took a step forward.
And the world changed.
* * *
A barren hill.
Danu’s realm that looks at time and twists space at will.
As you take a step inside, a completely changed landscape catches your eye. Until the end, we were in a dense forest, but now we are facing a completely different place.
There was a small village that was said to have completely come into its own thanks to the help of Sispanian. In the distance, I could see sheer cliffs and clouds that seemed stuck in the middle because they could not climb up the high cliffs.
– Wheeeee!
Feeling the sharp wind, Calian narrowed his eyes and turned back. Plantz, who followed Calian into the village, stiffened his shoulders for a moment. Arsene, who appeared last, looked surprised.
“This is…”
“Lord Hertz. Do you have a cloak?”
Arsene, who had already begun to search through his pockets after understanding the situation, nodded. Then he took out a dark blue cloak and handed it to Plantz. It’s definitely not something Kalyan found for use.
“Put it on. It has a warming spell.”
Planz, whose fingertips instantly turned bright blue, wrapped himself in a cape. Calian took his eyes off Planz and immediately jumped off the saddle.
“Raven. Stay outside.”
He then sent Raven out into Brigid’s Forest outside the village’s borders.
Plantz and Arsene, who saw this, also did the same thing. Arsene was able to cast a warming spell on his own, Plants wore the thermal cloak that Arsene gave him, and Calian did not get cold, but the horses did not. It would be difficult to last even 10 minutes in this cold.
After checking to see if Plants and Arsene were okay, Calian turned his head again and looked at the village a little more carefully.
“It was clear before I came in, but as soon as I got in, there was a blizzard… I couldn’t believe it.”
It was just as Arsene said.
It was clear until I entered.
As I take a step, it starts snowing. A snowstorm is coming.
The snow had piled up so high that it was hard to tell, and the village on the hill was all frozen white. Everything that could freeze was frozen. Trees, dry grass, and even flowers buried in transparent ice.
“Prince. Is there a place like this in northern Secretia?”
“No.”
Secretia Not only Rivern, which is located further south than Secretia, but also Tensil, which is not further north than Kairis, where spring has arrived and flowers have bloomed, also looks like this. I couldn’t see it.
So this place.
“……The Great Desert.”
It’s the Great Desert. It’s not the Great Desert
in the south where the wolves live, where they say there’s only sand everywhere, but higher up there. It snows all year round and there’s only one rain. The great northern desert, where it is said to be bitterly cold even for a moment. That was the place. Just
as the unclaimed sea was connected to the southern part of Kairis, this time the great desert was connected to the middle of the forest of Secretia.
“Master didn’t say anything like this . ”
Thanks to Arsene’s cloak, my skin wasn’t cold, but I could still feel the sharp wind. Planz, who frowned slightly, looked at his feet and answered, “You moved the terrain.” ”
Yes
. It seems so.”
Underneath the thick ice on which I stood, there was a purple flower stuffed without losing its shine. It was Minesias, a purple flower that once filled the vice commander’s office in Wilhelm’s coffin with its pleasant scent. It was also a flower that grew in the northern part of Secretia and the central part of Kyris.
While Arsene put on a huge shield to block the wind, Calian, whose eyes were as sharp as the blowing wind, opened his mouth. His voice was lower than usual so as not to be obscured by the sound of the wind. It got a little louder.
“Is it because the elves no longer live there that they moved the village to a place where Serenti’s power can’t reach?” “You’ll find out when you get there.”
Plantz
quietly answered, his voice the same as usual. Calian was there anyway. Since he would listen carefully, it was okay for the blue-haired crazy wizard not to listen.
Soon, one swordsman, one wizard, and the other person whose job was as complex as his personality took a step forward. Arsene took in all the snow that was piled up to waist height everywhere. It was fortunate that movement was easy thanks to the deep freeze, and that the village was not that big. “How are you going to
find the mother tree here?”
Arsene’s voice rang out.
Inside the sphere of ice that was easily over a span. It was because of what he was saying.
“Wait a minute.”
Calian, who had been looking around for a moment, moved towards a certain place. He didn’t give a particular answer to Arsene’s question.
Arsene, who was walking behind him, opened his eyes. And Plan. Tsu stopped for a moment, because he thought he knew what Calian saw and moved. A
dark green roof. Stone walls.
– Terun Orseia
Letes A thick wooden door.
Unfamiliar names carved into the large white stone above the door.
– Whitlin
And the familiar word at the end.
Queen Freya Whitlin’s last name was written there. It is
said that elves do not use surnames by nature, so that must have been someone’s name. Freya, who came into the King Kairis palace, said her It must have been the name of someone important enough to have it as their last name.
“…… Please wait a moment. “I’ll be back.”
Plantz just nodded without saying a word.
Calian walked trotting in front of the house where no one was living anymore. He stood in front of the door and slowly stretched out his hand. Squeaking. It was as
unfamiliar
as the unfamiliar names written together. A noise rang out for a moment,
and there was deep darkness,
into which Calian stepped.
