Chapter 111. Trace (5)
Jin’s eyes quickly grew cold as he peered into the tree.
“As you said, they seem to be a wicked tribe. The descendants of the fairies.”
Shaak-!
Jin said as he cut down the tree. The lightly swung sword cut the tree straight. Lulu, who was in it, was cut as well, but it was not the real Lulu, it was just a nasty illusion.
When the bloody illusion of Lulu disappeared, what appeared in its place was a trap in the form of a magic circle. If the two had just approached, the trap would have been triggered.
Kick kick kick kick-!
An eerie laugh came from deep within the forest. Jin and Valeria quietly waited for their opponent to appear with expressionless faces.
[Aren’t you fooled?]
Piri-ring, piri-ring, piri-ring…!
From the darkness beyond the forest, a cheerful sound arose with the appearance of something sparkling.
It was the sound of a descendant of the fairies flapping their wings. The fairies who showed up were beautiful shapes that were completely opposite to the unpleasant giggles.
Small, shiny, dainty wings, a face so cute that you want to reach out and touch it right away. A lovely expression full of mischief.
Of course, there was only a cold energy in the eyes of Jin and Valeria as they looked at the descendants of the fairies who had just appeared.
[Kick Hello? You weren’t offended by the joke, right?]
The descendant of the fairies scratched his head and said.
“Where are the Myo-In people?”
[Why are you so impatient? I have to say the full name first. Hello again! I am the younger sister of Myla the Fairy King.]
Jin and Valeria looked down at Myla without answering.
[…Isn’t I very welcome? The humans who met me by chance while looking for this forest used to scream that it was mysterious every ten times.]
“I asked where the Cat People were.”
Jean asked again in a low voice, and Mayla let out a laugh.
[The Myoin people are well protected by me and my own people. After being badly injured, he came to the Wantaramo Forest, but he was so pitiful. I couldn’t help but help!]
Myla continued talking behind her eyes as she met Jin’s eyes.
[By the way, Jean Runkandel, the youngest son of Chiron Runkandel. Don’t you think it’s a bit rude? This body revealed its name first, but your neck is heavy until the end? Shall I cut you off? The same goes for the human next to you.]
“Do you want me to be polite after playing around like that?”
[How is it? I didn’t even really hurt Lulu. There is a corner where a young guy is stubborn. Rather, I treated them.]
Mayla pursed her lips.
Then, he shook his head, as if he was disappointed that the other person continued to not respond at all to his cute appearance.
They showed cute gestures a few more times, but in Jin and Valeria’s head, the only thought was that if it wasn’t for the Cat Humans, they would have attacked this annoying tribe right away.
[…Okay, I get it. If you joke with me twice, you’re going to cut me down. I’ll let you meet the grave people. Follow me.]
Mayla began to fly slowly into the forest again.
Curiously, whenever Myla moved, the forest transformed. Trees and rocks were organically moving along Mylar like living creatures.
While walking, Jean and Valeria couldn’t help but be a bit nervous.
It was only natural that he had no trust in Mayla. At any moment, I thought that something like a trap could suddenly come out and an attack could start.
[Hey, I won’t play around with you guys anymore, so don’t worry. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a boring person like you.] When he
didn’t answer that, Miledo didn’t open his mouth until he arrived. The three entered the deep forest in silence for an hour.
Fortunately, there were no other pitfalls.
[They’re all here.]
At the place they arrived, thousands of trees were strangely bent and twisted to form a huge cave.
[Me and the boys,]
Mayla said, and suddenly a dazzling light poured from inside the cave.
It was the light created by thousands of fairy descendants escaping the cave at once. Quite a spectacle, apart from their eccentric personalities.
Piri ring Piri ring Piri ring! In an instant, the fairies who filled the area surrounded Jin and Valeria laughing.
The last to come out of the cave were two Myomen and a fairy descendant with wings twice as large as Mylar or the others.
“Lulu!”
[Jin Runkandel!]
Ruru and Miru.
Two of the triplets who kept a barrier against the Wraiths until the last moment in the Myoin tribe’s cave.
As soon as Jin saw them, it felt like the worries that had weighed heavily on one side of his chest were relieved. On the one hand, I suddenly felt anxious.
“…Where is Nehru-sama?”
Lulu smiled at the moment she worried that she might have been killed while protecting the barrier until the end.
[Nehru leads the rest of the clan and hides elsewhere. The only ones who entrusted themselves to the fairies were Miru and I. At that time, everyone was slightly injured, but luckily no one died.]
Only then did Jin smile.
Everyone escaped safely from the cave.
“Thank you all for surviving.”
Jin bent down and grabbed Lulu and Miru’s hands.
[Oh, what a touching reunion. I really can’t see it without tears. isn’t it? King.]
Mayla said as she landed next to Lulu, Miru, and the descendants of the fairies with the biggest wings.
He was the king of the descendants of the fairies, and unlike Mayla, he had a very classy atmosphere.
“This is Gene Runkandel.”
[Call her Sheila.]
Sheila was Mayla’s older sister and the Fairy King.
[Mayla must have played a practical joke on her way, so let’s apologize on my behalf.]
[Apology? Why are you apologizing? My lord, they are technically trespassers. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with just killing
them.] [You’re here to save the cat people, isn’t it, Mayla? Also, the Myo-in tribe asked permission from me and left traces.]
[Although we have never been told that the person who reads the traces may be a record magician.]
Valeria’s pupils narrowed at Mayla’s sarcastic voice. skewed to the left.
The Cats and Fairies didn’t notice at all that she had this habit because she was nervous, but Jin saw right through it.
And Jin, like Valeria, was a little flustered.
‘How did Mayla find out that Valeria is a record magician? Did you check it when you performed the record magic at the beginning of the forest? Besides, I’ve never informed Lulu-nim and Miru-nim of Valeria’s existence.’
Piri-ring piri-ring piri-ri…
Hearing Mayla’s words, I could feel the descendants of the fairies gathered nearby whispering among themselves. It was a language Jin and Valeria could not understand.
[Jin.]
“Yes Lulu.”
[We’ve been leaving two traces together all along while entrusting ourselves to the land of the descendants of the fairies. So that you can find it…]
The two types of traces left by Ruru and Miru could be found by those who had the ability to record and those who did not.
It wasn’t that different from leaving two types of traces.
It was because Valeria’s tracking speed was too fast. The general traces they left together were still untouched by the turkey bird, so Valeria’s tracking speed was clearly far beyond the normal range.
Ruru and Miru thought they couldn’t find them so quickly without possessing at least record magic.
So they tried to confirm one thing after assuming that the pursuer was a record magician.
Whether the pursuer is Jin’s person or not.
As Valeria first predicted, the Myomen had a plan to eliminate the pursuers with the help of the fairy descendants in the latter case.
As Lulu explained these things, Jin nodded and Valeria seemed to be lost in thought for a moment.
“Why would you want to kill me if I’m not a Jinn?”
[Because there is something here that the record wizard, unrelated to the solderlet’s contractor, shouldn’t check.]
Sheila, the king of the fairy descendants, answered on behalf of Lulu.
And Jin could intuitively guess what Sheila was talking about.
‘Is Temar’s fourth tomb located here? Ruru and Miru naturally came to Wantaramo Forest to lead me to the fourth tomb during our escape, unlike the other Myoin tribes.’
It was correct.
The elven descendants knew the way to reach Temar’s fourth tomb.
A moment of silence passed.
Mayla frowned, as if she didn’t like how Sheila gave out such information so readily.
[Human being, what kind of relationship do you have with Gene Runkandel?]
Sheila’s sudden question.
Valeria was about to answer, but Jin opened her mouth instead.
“A colleague. You can trust more than anyone else in the world.”
[Then, I, Sheila, the king of the Elves, will keep my old promise with Solderlet. In addition, I must also thank my longtime friends, the Cat-humans, Ruru and Miru, who helped me keep my promise.]
Hwaat…!
Sheila’s wings glowed even more intensely.
It was a symbol of supreme authority in the Wantaramo forest, and Mayla and all other fairy descendants sat down on the ground and bowed their heads toward Sheila.
Indeed, it was a scene that stood out with the dignity worthy of being the king of the descendants of the fairies.
[Gin Runkandel, his fellow wizards, and my friends follow me. The tomb is inside a cave. I can finally lay down the burden I’ve been carrying for the past thousand years.]
Sheila began flapping her wings toward the cavern formed by the twisting and bending of trees.
Jin and his colleagues followed him and moved into the cave. Even when they all entered the cave, the descendants of the fairies gathered outside did not dare to raise their heads.
Naturally, Jin thought that Sheila’s authority as the king of the descendants of the fairies would be absolute.
Actually, it wasn’t.
[Ruru Miru. You guys must have noticed while staying here.]
Big, big, big!
Suddenly, trees bent and twisted, blocking the entrance to the cave.
I turned and saw Myla smiling through the rapidly narrowing gap.
[Mayla has betrayed me for a long time.]
The fact that the entrance to the cave was blocked was not the result of Sheila’s powers.
She was only a king, but the actual power and power to control the Wantaramo Forest had already been passed on to Mayla and other fairy descendants.
[Yes, I was feeling it. Miss Sheila…]
[Myla has no intention of keeping her promise to Solderlet. So whenever the opportunity comes. I was thinking of locking myself up like this. I don’t think they would have expected to lock up a thousand-year contract with them.]
Jin and Valeria were not at all taken aback by the sudden change of situation. Looking back at the behavior and attitude of Mayla, a descendant of the fairy tribe, it was quite possible.
[Perhaps people with Mylar will come to Wantaramo soon.]
[Where are they attached?]
[They are the only ones who can satisfy that guy’s absurd greed.]
Sheila smiled lightly. Her wings, which glowed exceptionally in the dark, looked very lonely.
“Sheila seems to have a plan. Seeing that Mayla was deliberately imprisoned even after knowing that she had betrayed her.”
