Chapter 373,
Chapter 112. The reason why they are looking for Temar’s grave (5)
* * *
The trees and plants in Wantaramo Forest were also crying. Trees twisted as if squeezed and vomited sap, and plants shed their leaves and emitted a foul smell.
Since Sheila lost her authority, the Wantaramo Forest was connected to Mayla’s body.
[Aaaaaa!]
Jin and Aria frowned at the unpleasant eardrum-scratching screams, and Sheila and the Myoin tribes who had been hiding came out and appeared.
[sister! Kak! Save me!]
Without shame or pride. As soon as Mayla saw Sheila, she begged for her life. While struggling with the terrible pain that covered his entire body, he lay flat on his stomach and prayed.
Sheila’s eyes looked down at Mayla and shone sadly.
[I was your sister, friend, and parent to you. He was also the king of you and your people.]
[I was wrong…!]
[I was always lenient towards you, and I didn’t resent you even the moment you decided to betray me. Even after you incited my own people and took away my authority, I have never hated you.]
[Sister! Sister!]
By then, Mayla seemed to have glimpsed hope in Sheila. As always, a strong older sister who forgives her foolish younger sister.
[I’ll give back control of the forest to my sister! I’m begging you, just let me live…]
[I’ll forgive you for trying to
hurt me.] Mayla looked up and met Sheila’s eyes. As if a life that saw the light for the first time, with an expression full of emotion.
But Sheila met that gaze for a while and then said:
[However, putting the forest and her people in danger is unforgivable.]
[Sister…?]
[Goodbye, my dear sister.]
After she finished her words, Sheila’s appearance changed drastically.
The lustrously shining wings disappeared like melting snow, and the small body unique to the fairies swelled red.
Soon, she took on a human-like appearance and glowed red.
Then, in despair, he carefully lifted Mayla, who was rolling on the floor, with both hands.
[No, please!]
She struggled, but Myla couldn’t escape Sheila’s grasp.
Whoa….
Sheila blows lightly at Mayla as if blowing dandelion seeds in her hand. Myla’s body was shattering like snowflakes when the wind hit her.
Aaaaa-! Myla’s final screams were blown into the air by the wind. Glowing red particles that were Mylar left trails everywhere.
Only then did the forest stop crying when Sheila’s grip was empty.
The twisted trees returned to their original form, and the plants smelled fragrant again. In the dark, wet sky, the clouds lifted to reveal the bright yellow morning moon.
The corpses on the floor were also swallowed up by the soil and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Before even a minute had passed, the place they were standing had become an unbelievably clean landscape where a battle had taken place.
Sheila looked into my hand for a moment and was silent.
She was peeking at her ‘past self’ from the dead Mayla.
[Jean Runkandel.]
Sheila turned to look at Jean.
“yes.”
[The name written on this royal title originally belonged to me.]
I looked at the name once again as I accepted the royal title.
(Gawangju – Shil Damiro)
The name of the person who wanted to leave a story behind this liquor. That was none other than the old name of Sheila, the king of the Elves.
Jin didn’t answer and just stared at King Gawangju.
And he remembered a conversation he had with Sheila earlier.
-[Myla. It seems he didn’t want me to keep my promise to Solderlet. other children too. Everyone thinks that we, the descendants of the fairies, are making useless sacrifices. Or do you think that you are holding on to meaningless hopes.]
-So you actually overthrew Sheila from the throne and Mayla took over the forest?
-[Yes. While waiting for you was so uncertain and so unclear about the reward… there are those who say they’ll give us anything we want for just a little bit of information. In some ways, betrayal is natural.]
-What do the descendants of the fairies want?
-[Recovering our original form.]
Original form.
The beings of Wantaramo Forest were originally fairies themselves, not ‘descendants’.
[I hope there is something that can help you in the story of this drink.]
Pong…!
Sheila opened the lid.
Then, using the lid as a glass, he filled it up and held it out to Jin. As the indescribably fragrant smell spread, the image of the spirit shimmering in the glass stood out.
Jean and Valeria began to take turns drinking one glass at a time.
When he met Shuri, the red jade tomb, he could not hear the singing voice unlike the demon King Gawangju.
What was heard instead of the singing voice was someone’s sobbing. It contained the sound of Sheila crying while brewing alcohol before losing her name.
After a while, they were able to dive into the story of Temar’s fourth tomb.
* * *
Primordial Forest.
A mysterious space where fairies lived.
After drinking Gawangju, Jin and Valeria were able to accurately recognize that the space they entered was the same land.
I’ve never been to it, and I’ve never even seen a picture depicting a forest in the beginning.
The power of the record contained in Gawangju made them feel as if they knew the forest in the beginning.
Even if they stepped on the ground full of bushes, their footprints did not remain, and even if they raised their voices toward each other, those who existed in the record could not hear them.
In other words, Jin and Valeria looked at the forest as ‘observers’.
And why.
As soon as Valeria entered this place, she felt a longing that cut her chest.
Like when he lost his brothers in the Gray Owl Mercenary Corps, an unbearable feeling of sadness clawed at his heart.
So I had no choice but to sit down for a while and catch my breath.
“Valeria.”
“are you okay.”
Soon Valeria stood up and the two walked together.
While walking, I could feel the ‘information about the primordial forest’ contained in the records flowing into my head.
The forest was currently ruled by the elven king Reed Damiro Yul.
“Is this Reed Damiro Yul?”
As they reached the depths of the forest, Valeria looked at a fairy standing there and said,
A cold expression as if angry with a lot of red hair. Jean and Valeria took their seats right next to her.
Jin took a closer look at her and shook his head.
“No, I’m not the one I saw on the third tomb’s recorder. It seems to be another fairy tribe.”
It wasn’t long before the two learned the name of the fairies.
rest.
Another fairy appeared in the depths of the forest and called her name.
It was Leed Damiro Yul. She came here to meet her younger brother Shildamiro, who came to visit her in a fit of rage.
king
As Shil got down on one knee, Leed shook his head.
You don’t have to be that polite. Take a break.
Shil stood up at Leed’s words.
sister.
tell me brother
Leed and Shil looked at each other for a while and were silent.
Before this meeting, the two of them had a deep conflict for the first time since they were born as blood relatives.
Reet was looking at her sister, who was resting her expression of understanding you, as if she couldn’t understand her.
Do you really intend to get involved in human affairs?
When Shil finally spoke, Leed nodded.
okay.
Rest biting your lower lip.
She couldn’t understand her sister’s choice. The other fairies following Shil did the same.
do you really have to do that? If we don’t step up, Ziffle won’t attack us.
It’s like they attacked us from the moment Shil already started manipulating history.
No, that’s just my sister’s idea. Ziple wants us to solve problems with humans instead of stepping out.
How can you be so sure?
Shil didn’t answer that.
…Think about it, sister. Even with our help, do you think Runkandel can beat Zipple? Will they be grateful?
that doesn’t matter
No, there is no problem more important than this! It is said that the life of the whole country is at stake. My sister’s wrong judgment could kill all of my people!
Leed closed his eyes as Sheel screamed.
My sister is now endangering her people. More than half of my people are against it. I don’t know why.
Know.
If you know, please make a different decision now.
rest.
Reed opened her eyes again and looked at her brother.
Individuals can choose the wrong path. But the king must always make the right choice.
sister.
You will find out when you become a king someday. Why did I have to make this choice…
Shil couldn’t accept that.
Be honest, sister. My sister just feels love for the head of Runkandel. That’s why we’re endangering our entire people in order to impress him in order to help Temar Runkandel.
Do you really think so?
I can’t trust my sister anymore.
Leedt sighed.
…so. Because you can’t trust me anymore, are you bringing so many of my own people to intimidate me? Shil.
As soon as Leed finished speaking, other fairies appeared from all over the darkness of the forest.
They were fairies with the same thoughts as Shil.
All looked at Leed with hostility and held sharpened daggers.
Will you kill me and make you the new king?
If my sister doesn’t break her will, I have no choice but to do so.
Shil glared at Reed and replied.
Leed’s gaze at his brother was still as calm as the first time.
Shil thought that her sister would eventually step down.
Reed, she thought, was not the kind of person who would be stubborn even when she and her people went this far.
Although she always hated her sister, who always excelled at anything and made her suffer, and even ascended to the throne she had longed for.
I still had faith. The unlucky older sister would always make a choice for the fairies.
That’s why you can’t trust or accept the decision Leed made recently.
I can’t.
Are you going to change your decision?
Leette shook her head.
No, if this is the ending you want… kill me.
Leedt began to approach Shil.
Sheel took a dagger from her bosom and thrust it into Leed’s neck.
However, Leed did not stop walking even though the point of the knife was piercing his throat, and Shil gritted his teeth while his mind went blank.
shit…!
Crackle!
Eventually, Shil threw the dagger to the floor.
