chapter 23
23 – Forest of Elves (4)
“… Anyway, you want me to make a baby? Human! Are you crazy?”
Floren covers her body with her blushing face.
‘What is he talking about?’
I corrected it with an absurd face.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m asking you to make a weapon, not a baby.”
Floren finally understood what I was saying, and after clearing her throat, she opened her mouth as if nothing had happened.
“I am not a blacksmith. Called an alchemist. There’s a human I know, so I’ll tell him. He’s a guy with certain skills.”
“Are you talking about Taliesin?”
She was startled.
“How did you know?”
“He is already making my weapons, so you just need to come.”
“… What.”
Floren looks at me intently, as if observing me.
Then, she opened her mouth.
“Ah! I get it. Are you thinking of making magic weapons?”
“The story must be fast.”
As expected, she pretended to be a smart woman.
I pointed toward the door with a satisfied look on my face, as if telling me to come out.
“But, what should I do? I don’t want to leave the forest.”
“Then, I have no choice but to disclose your location to the Magic Tower.”
When Floren saw me for the first time, she asked if I was from the Mage Tower.
In other words, they are guarding against the Magic Tower.
It was said that if you use it appropriately, you can create the desired result.
“That’s right.”
“… What?”
“Anyway, if I get out of this forest, everyone in the Mage Tower will know. There are quite a few eyes there.”
She sat down on a wooden chair with a look of despair on her face.
“Ha, I wanted to do some research on my own… You annoying humans!”
“What happened at the Magic Tower?”
“There was. Humans are really annoying. So are you.”
“I want to hear the story in detail. Maybe I can help.”
“You?”
Floren giggled.
“You, a mere human, can stop the people of the Mage Tower?”
“Maybe.”
With a leisurely smile, Floren opened her mouth slowly.
“Yeah, that’s good. It’s not difficult to tell a story. It was about a year ago from now.”
I started listening to Floren’s words.
**
1 Year ago.
“Wow! You mean these are all my equipment?”
Floren got out of the forest early and entered the Magic Tower.
It was because she had many limitations in using her alchemy talent in a closed space like Solia Forest.
“If it were here, I might be able to complete my research.”
She was happy.
The best facilities and equipment that could not be seen in the forest.
Plus, there are assistants at your disposal.
I felt like I had the whole world.
Until that happened.
“Haa, that’s a big deal….”
It was a time when I was immersed in research on cells and neurology as never before.
“I am such a fool. Why did I accept this request?”
Her magic tower One of her companions complained to her.
Floren, who was both noisy and curious, opened her mouth.
“What is it?”
“The craft family entrusted a weapon enchantment request…. I received it, but the formula doesn’t work out well. Aren’t I going to be cut off like this?”
Floren looked at the paper she was holding in her hand and tucked her tongue.
“This formula should be done in an octagon, not a square. That way, enchantment magic can be manifested without losing mana and going through the entire movement path.”
“Wow… ! Is that so? Thank you!”
“Okay, then will you disappear now? I have to study.”
“Okay! Do your research!”
I said it because I thought that if I didn’t tell him, he would continue to bother me.
“Tsk, don’t humans know these basic things?”
I never imagined that this small fire would spread and cause a big upset.
“Floren! How do you do this?”
“I heard the story. Are you kind enough to let me know? Let me know about this too!”
“Me too!”
People began to flock to the lab because of the incident the other day.
Most of the problems took less than 10 seconds, so she was annoying but helpful.
“You can’t come now. I have to study.”
“Okay, don’t worry!”
“Only trust us!”
However, contrary to the words to believe, people started flocking to her laboratory more and more.
“I’m conducting an experiment on immortality. If you don’t mind, can you give me some advice?”
“I want to make an elixir that can heal any wound. I need your help.”
“Can copper really make gold? Floren, I think it will be possible with your help.”
People are starting to ask about studies that are hard to figure out even after years of research.
“Ah, a little—!”
Floren gradually had less time to study.
You won’t help me, so I’ll be by your side all day whining and asking you to tell me.
Pretending not to know her hurt her pride.
That’s right, if you lock the door, they break it and come in.
It was a situation where there was no answer.
“Haa, really!”
He was swayed by humans for as little as 8 months.
Floren prepared for her resignation as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.
Bondi, the Mage Tower is a group that produces beneficial results by researching academics and studies.
However, instead of conducting research through one’s own thoughts, do you come to yourself and ask yourself? As the meaning faded, the work increased.
‘Sure, will you let me go?’
The problem was, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t let it go easily.
Even if you stubbornly leave the Mage Tower, you will surely find yourself in Solia Forest.
Then, the tribes and humans in the forest ran into each other, and that was also a headache.
“Then would you rather just disappear?”
Then I came up with a very amazing idea.
Wouldn’t it be the ground that disappears so that no one can find it?
The worry was not long.
She planned to disappear soon.
She didn’t think, of course, that she could be gone forever.
At least, three months.
Hiding beyond that is a success.
So now.
Floren has reached the current situation.
**
“… Until then is my story. I never thought I would be able to find it in two months.”
After Floren’s story.
I nodded and thought.
‘Aren’t you proud of yourself after all?’
I did talk about it every single time. In a word, she said that she was tired because she was so competent.
Still, on the one hand, it was fortunate.
Because it was a problem I could solve.
“I will help you.”
“How are you?”
“After all, isn’t it necessary to have a facility for quiet research alone?”
“Right.”
“Then, follow me. Because there is a suitable place.”
“But, even if I go there, the Mage Tower guys will come after me?”
“I assure you. They won’t come after you anymore.”
When I answered in a confident voice, Floren gave me a suspicious look.
“Okay. I’ll trust you. But, what are you?”
“Seven Lords.”
“hahahaha, what an interesting person. When did the Seven Lords die?”
Floren has been stuck in the woods for months, so the news must be late for her.
She thought so, and that was when she came out of the entrance with Floren.
“Stop—!”
Elves surrounded the lab.
“My, Gerard-!”
Looking to her left, Seina is tied up by them.
It must have been too much to handle the large number.
“Titania, what are you doing?”
She said in a cold tone.
“I can’t take Floren with me. Please leave quietly.”
At Titania’s words, Floren opened her mouth.
“Titania, I’m fine. I’ll be back soon.”
“Be quiet, Florence. How much you have been swayed by humans in the meantime, I can’t just watch it now.”
“I heard that?”
Floren looks at me and shrugs her shoulders.
She sighed and said.
“Don’t do anything stupid, Titania.”
“You are the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one.”
Titania stretched out her hand in her air, her determined expression like that of her warrior woman.
“Are we finally seeing it… ? Silestine, the highest-class wind spirit that only Titania-sama had contracted with!”
“hahahaha! That guy is finished too.”
The elves speak in a voice full of anticipation. Titania began to recite her spell as if that reaction was natural.
“Come out. Silestine, the spirit of wind! Show that wrathful man the fear of wind!”
A blue light begins to shimmer in her hand.
The wind in the air grew rough and gathered like a spiral in her hand.
-Puuwook.
However, within a few seconds, they dispersed with the sound of the wind blowing.
“… ?”
“… Chieftain?”
Her elves looked at her with her confused face.
Titania also had a puzzled expression on her face, as if she didn’t understand why.
“… Silestine? Come out.”
However, this time there was no response at all.
Her face gradually starts to turn red.
“… Whoa, I’ll have to check it out. Everyone escort me.”
Sensing something strange about her, Tina tightly closed her eyes.
It looks like I’m going to have a conversation with the spirit.
At the same time, the elves surround and escort Titania.
How long has it been?
“Everyone, clear the road right away!”
Titania exclaimed urgently.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden… ?”
“Just get out of the way!”
She trembled in her voice as if she was frightened by something in her.
She then looked at me and put her hands together.
“Oops, sorry… ! I couldn’t get to know you. Sylphid-sama—!”
The elves watched the scene with their mouths wide open.
Well, it wasn’t too much.
Summoning the highest level spirit in front of the king of spirits?
Nonsense.
‘Seduce a b*tch like a dog.’
He smiled and moved forward.
Nothing can stop me now.
