Episode 526 Banquet (1)
A banquet was prepared in the royal castle of Silia to say goodbye to the saint in a grand manner.
The scale of the banquet was considerable as many people from all over the country attended.
Musicians were invited to play music and luxurious food was lined up, so nobles from other lands, who had to complete the journey in two days, were happy to enjoy it.
King Theogarde presented banquet clothes for the convenience of his relatives, which was a small consideration from the king who wanted to take a rest.

Ale and Sein did not lose their temper even as they changed into banquet clothes.
No matter how much I still don’t believe he died, I can’t help but feel bitter after the funeral in this way.
“Because he knows what to do and will come back well.”
When Ale spoke to lighten the mood, Lacia answered.
“My brother is still alive. I feel that way for some reason.”
He speaks with sharp eyes, but there is not even the slightest trembling around his eyes.
It couldn’t have been a fairly surprising sixth sense.
Seeing the two of them, Sein gained courage.
“Is that right? He’s been such a strong kid ever since…”
At the age of 10, he defeated even his father, who had made a name for himself, so he said everything.
Let’s change into banquet clothes and leave the private room.
Standing in front of the door was Aira, who was clearly hesitant.
Sein tilted his head.
“Ira?”
“mother.”
She blushed as if the title was a bit awkward, and said in a small voice.
“…I want you to teach me how to wear this.”
Sein and Lacia burst into laughter at her cute appearance, which always looked noble.
“Ho-ho-ho. Have you ever tried on human dresses?”
“Whoops. Well, there would have been no chance for elves to attend the banquet of humans.”
Lacia, who was normally wary of Aira, also willingly agreed to help.
Ale, who was left alone as the three women gathered together, scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed.
“Then I’ll be waiting for you in front.”
“I do. It would be embarrassing to be misunderstood as a suspicious person, so stay away from me.”
“Keuk…”
As Ale turned his back, the three of them entered the private room again.
A significant number of nobles gathered outside the annex where they entered.
Even so, their looks were never unusual.
Since Sein was young in the first place, if he stood side by side with Ail, he would only look like his nephew.
Lacia inherited her mother’s beauty, and if she grew up a little, she would surely be reborn as the most beautiful woman in the estate.
What about Ira?
Originally, the appearance of elves is known to the world, but the beauty of high elves far surpasses that of elves.
Even Ray, who was not very interested in the appearance of others, had a history of falling in love with her beauty, so Ira was unmatched in terms of appearance.
Since such people were huddled together, the footsteps of the nobles did not cease around them.
The invisible fight continued over them to the extent that a strange war of nerves broke out.
Eventually, nobles began to prepare gifts in a hurry before the banquet.
After a while, the door to the private room opened and Aira, who had finished dressing up, came out.
Sein and Lacia were also good at catching their eyes, but they were hidden by Aira’s appearance in a sky-white dress.
Even the attendants who were walking around, including the nobles, stared blankly at it as they stiffened like stone statues.
Her clear voice rang out.
“I don’t know if it suits you well.”
“…It’s frustrating, but it suits you well.”
Lacia drool in praise.
At that, Ira smiled as if she was happy.
It is so beautiful when a beautiful woman smiles lightly.
Lacia asked.
“I heard that elves usually don’t pay much attention to the eyes of humans, but am I wrong?”
“Since it’s my lover’s funeral, can’t I help but want to look pretty even at the last moment as a woman?”
Even the answer is excellent.
Seeing her impeccable appearance, Lacia even uttered admiration for a moment.
Soon after coming to her senses with a whip, she turned her head and muttered to herself.
“…joy. It is pretty.”
As Sain said, Eil, who was waiting at a distance, pretended to know.
“I guess you wouldn’t know since the pretty daughter-in-law even decorated it. ha ha ha.”
“Whoop whoop.”
“Who is the daughter-in-law! I haven’t even gotten married yet!”
Ale, who let Lacia’s protest go through one ear, spoke.
“Even if my family doesn’t believe in it, the saint in the world is already dead. So for the last banquet, let’s keep our seats.”
Sein smiled at him.
“yes. Like you said, he’ll come back anytime.”
Aira’s expression looked a bit dark, but soon she was able to smile a little at the bright atmosphere of the three.
They moved to the banquet hall.
* * *
15th floor.
14th floor.
13th floor.
Their speed up the floors was quite fast.
If I hadn’t been aware of the baby goblins and hadn’t taken a break, it seemed like I could reach the first floor overnight.
It was all thanks to Ray.
As if I had memorized all the roads, whenever there is a fork in the road, I find the road like a ghost.
“It’s on the left.”
At his words, the direction of the crowd is bent to the left.
At such times, the entrance to the upper floor is always in front of you before you know it.
Soyoung, who had a surprised face, admired it.
“oh my god. Haven’t been wrong at all so far. Does the saint have a special talent for finding the way?”
There is no such thing as talent.
It was only helpful to memorize bits and pieces of previously marked places.
The dungeon’s structure was also changing, so I understood the structure of the magic circle, so I just realized with my head how it was changing.
Of course, Ray himself did not know that the act of understanding all of that and moving without hesitation itself was surprising.
Beyond the tenth floor, the nineth floor and the eighth floor.
The faces of the goblins changed every moment as they went to the next floor at high speed.
The Goblin Queen said as if she was worried.
“It’s not the right time to say this, but… I’m a little scared to go outside. Will we be able to properly adapt to our new home…”
Ray smiled at him.
They are goblins who survived in such an extreme environment.
Now, what are you afraid of?
Compared to dungeons full of ridiculously strong monsters, the outside world was literally a paradise on earth.
The goblins of today could even beat an ogre one-on-one.
“Don’t worry too much. you can do it well I’ll guarantee it.”
“If it’s the word of the goblin god, I just follow it.”
The goblin queen’s expression improved a lot, as if her worries were alleviated by his boastful words.
After taking a few breaks to climb up, the dungeon was already coming to an end.
Past this floor where I suffered all kinds of trouble.
When I finally headed to the first floor, I had a new feeling.
My heart was pounding at the sight of the world outside the cave-like entrance.
Common-looking trees and overgrown bushes that are not managed.
The scenery of the village seen from a distance and the lights flowing through it seemed to welcome the fact that it was finally out into the world.
“iced coffee.”
With a single cry, he took one step at a time toward the outside.
His white robes no longer hold their shape and are torn at the hem.
The feel of the grass brushing my knees was not so pleasant.
Life in the dungeon was hard.
A white robe that was faded and charred.
Compared to before entering the dungeon, he looked sloppy.
A refreshing breeze blew in, and Ray breathed slowly for a moment, feeling the gentle breeze.
clear.
The air is so clear that sadness sets in.
The hesitantly wary goblins also looked around with amazement as if they liked it.
“This is…”
“Amazing. The air… is clear.”
The baby goblins, who were still speechless, lay down in the bushes and enjoyed the peace.
Soonbok also sniffed.
-How long has this air been properly?
It was a very disrespectful act to be called the highest level spirit.
Now that we have escaped from the first floor and returned to Soleil Mansion.
I can finally say that I have put an end to my life in the dungeon.
Zeke and the receptionist looked at them gently.
“Good job, lord.”
“You finished the demonic world with your own hands and returned to the world.”
Soyoung also smiled and shook her head.
“I didn’t know if I didn’t know that I would have to live my whole life with mana extinguished. Our Holy Son saved the world once again.”
Seeing him rolling around in the bush with the goblins, he looks more like a half-goblin than a hero.
* * *
After enjoying the freedom outside for a while, he suddenly came to his senses.
I’m not going to be doing this now.
He had to hurry to Celia and prepare for the war and check the actions of the Black Bang and the Alliance.
‘If I’ve created such a demonic world, I’m sure the next action will continue.’
He never thought that the Black Room Alliance would end with one Demonic Realm.
It is probably at this point that the preparatory work for the next work is starting.
Ray jumped up from his seat.
He packed his things and carried them on his back and said to the security guards.
“You guys, find out if there is a place in Soleil Manor that can be used as a home for goblins.”
“What do you plan to do, my lord?”
“I am going to Celia. It bothers me that the union is so quiet.”
“Even if you go, shouldn’t you take a little rest?”
I’m not worried about his physical condition, but he’s just been outside.
He couldn’t even rest for a moment and was worried in his heart as he hurriedly headed for the castle.
Ray shook his head.
“I don’t have time for that. Even if you rest, you have to rest in the castle.”
You can’t sleep soundly in a situation where you don’t even know what the coalition is doing.
I told Hafman to keep an eye on the movements of the Black Room, so if you find him, you will get the information you want.
That’s why it was necessary to go to Celia even more.
Zeke did not ask any more questions and silently complied.
-Good job paladin man.
When Soonbok put his hand on Zeke’s shoulder and smiled, Ray said to Sunbok.
“Look for you too.”
Soonbok widened his eyes at the sound like thunder from the clear sky.
-older brother! Spirits have face, so why should they find a home for a small creature like a goblin?
“If you want to live forever in a goblin colony, do it.”
At those words, Soonbok’s attitude, which had been about to roll up his sleeves and argue, completely changed.
-Aren’t I the spirit of the wind? Using the wind to find a place to live is my specialty. I will try to find the highest topography where you look at the water with your back to the mountain.
The relationship between the spirit and the contractor was still in the form of A and B.
