Chapter 251 – 70. To the Primeval Forest (2)
Primeval forest. It is the sacred place of demons.
In the primeval forest, the World Tree, which had existed since the days of the Old Empire, was densely packed with trees growing from its roots.
It is not an ordinary tree. Each tree has a gigantic size that looks like a high-rise apartment building. So, the surrounding scenery did not feel realistic.
“It is a very mysterious place. Here is.”
In addition, mana close to demonic air was thick everywhere, and it was as if you were at the bottom of the deep sea.
Chloe carefully moved her steps and looked for attention.
“At a place like this, getting lost and starving to death would be nothing.”
“Chloe-sama is right. Sometimes elves go missing here. No, not sometimes, often.”
Tricia smiled. The three of them were on their way north through a sea of floods in the primeval forest.
Although the senses of mana awakeners are much more sensitive than normal people. Rather, because of that sensitive sense, the sense of direction is not normal.
‘It’s like the needle of a compass can’t stop and goes round and round.’
That’s why it’s a sacred place, and a devil’s land that is considered a dangerous place even for demons. It’s a place you should never venture into…
Of course, our party had no problems at all.
‘Because I have a very good guide.’
Tricia was leading the way. Curiously, as if her pointy ears had become antennas, she was walking without hesitation for a second.
Of course, the help of the spirits flying around her was also great. She is Tricia, a very accomplished Elementalist. Because her four great spirits she summoned are helping her find the way.
‘Are elves really elves?’
No, not all elves can do it. Tricia is Unir’s priest. Because she has been living here in the primeval forest for a long time.
It’s like taking a walk in a small forest near your house. Tricia took her light step.
“The Priests of Unir are self-sufficient in this sea of water. As a result, I was able to figure out where it was not dangerous and where I was not supposed to go.”
Although she said it so lightly. Without her, it would be absolutely impossible for her to reach the 10,000-year old dragon’s remains in this short period of time.
Chloe, who was walking side by side with me, also quietly whispered.
“By the way, Tricia was a demon, no, an elf. Then Cecilia-san wouldn’t be human either.”
“Right. Cecilia is a dragon.”
“A dragon? The two are real sisters… Ah. Come to think of it, I heard that mixed blood demons are a little different from humans. They don’t make hybrids.”
Then, she looked back at Tricia’s pricked ears.
“Hmm. Still, I would have thought that there were so many demons hiding in the middle of the Pantheon. And the person who helped the demons enter the school and supported them so far is the heir to a great family… And that family represents humans.”
Chloe muttered quietly.
In fact, if she were an ordinary Imperial person, she would be shocked. Chloe was also what I thought. She kept muttering.
“If the Count’s position in the Marquis is narrow. You might think that he was willing to do something by borrowing the hands of demons, just like my older brothers do. Even if Julian-sama stays still, he’s someone who will rise to the Marquis. And he’s crazy… No, if it was last year when he was evaluated as a free man, it doesn’t matter, but this year he made a relationship with the demons like that… Hehe.”
Even when she was by her side, she could feel the calculator in Chloe’s head running. And then she gave me a sticky look and took my hand.
“Then… You’re so great, aren’t you? Obviously the Count. It must mean that you are working on a very big project that will shake this empire.”
Of course, that would be a figurative expression of her as a merchant. For a moment, I could feel that she was very excited.
“It is as you say. It’s a very, filthy big undertaking. Shake up not only the empire, but this island. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have entered this dangerous primeval forest.”
“Oh. Great too. If so, should I assume that the Count has already acknowledged me as a fellow shipmate… As such?”
And it wasn’t just that they were on the same boat, they were already trying to match each other’s boats.
“Yes. I intend to help you with everything for your successor competition. It means that the Reinhard family is with you.”
“Yulian-sama…”
Chloe began to snuggle up to the pods in her grasp. Although Tricia is guiding the way, not paying attention to the two of them.
In fact, I could feel that she was observing the two of them with interest through her spirit. And when I walked like that for about an hour more.
The three of them stopped at a colony of huge flower buds. Tricia said.
“Count. Should we stop here?”
***
The colony of flower buds was curiously more like an ore than a plant. A huge, rocky flower bud that far exceeds the height of a person.
It was raised like a huge, dense fence, blocking the way forward.
“At this rate, we will not be able to break through. How about finding a detour?”
“Hmm. That’s a little tricky. Crossing this road is the quickest shortcut to the ancient dragon temple where the remains of the old dragon are located.”
“But that’s it. Isn’t there a way other than flying through the sky or digging through the ground? I will, if need be.”
Both are possible. Me too, and Chloe knows how to use alchemy. And both of them are capable of casting alchemy close to civil engineering.
“Sorry, but that is impossible. The roots of that flower are buried much deeper under the ground than they appear out, and above all, that flower is alive even though it looks like a stone. If you touch it wrongly, you will be attacked by that flower bud.”
It was also a notorious primeval forest.
Up until now, thanks to Tricia, the perfect guide, I was safely crossing the forest without any danger.
In the meantime, the corpses of animals and monsters, and the remaining bones. I was just letting you know that this primeval forest is not friendly to strangers.
But no problem. I already knew Tricia well.
“Hmm. But if it were you, would you have thought of a way to break through?”
“Yeah. Count. And, in fact, there is no particular way. You just have to wait for these flower buds to bloom at night.”
The petroglyph in front of you is a flower that blooms at night. It is said that when the flowers open at night, a path is made to cross the colony.
If you didn’t know that, of course. It must have become the nourishment for those flower buds by forcefully trying to break through. Because the colony of flower buds was very wide.
“And when it blooms as a flower, the aggression of the bud also disappears. No problem passing by.”
“So that means we’ll have to wait here until night anyway.”
“Yeah. And the primeval forest is a forest full of Unir’s grace. So it is safer to move at night than during the day.”
It is daytime when you pass through the hidden portal in Istia Hall. The portal brought us here immediately. Even considering the time difference, it was daytime.
To be honest, I couldn’t tell if it was night or day. Tricia was reading the night and day of this place accurately.
“There is still quite a bit of time left before night falls. So it feels like camping. Hmm. I think it would be better to sit a little further away from here. Count.”
“Not so. We’ll have to preserve both of our stamina.”
The three of them made a camp, no, a main camp. For the safety of the three of them, Tricia took a position on a fairly tall tree.
She and her responsive trees moved themselves, creating a space suitable for camping above them.
Trisiani did not hide her true identity and revealed her true elf appearance.
Indeed, the feeling of being an elf of her natural race was palpable to her.
‘It feels much more beautiful than when I was hiding in the ecliptic…’
Of course, Tricia is Cecilia’s older sister. Although she was pure sentiment rather than beauty as the opposite sex. She then prepared a meal for Tricia to hunt her berries and even animals.
“There are so many poisonous plants and animals here. So, if you do not do well with anything, you will go to the next world.”
“Oh. If it’s poison, I’m fine. Rather excited month.”
As expected, like a poison expert. Chloe was interested. Tricia was taken aback by that unusual reaction.
“Uh… I see. Then, at the next meal, I will prepare moderately poisonous children. No, more than that.”
And Tricia said while conscious of Chloe.
“Actually, walking around here at night is not a problem for me… And Count Julian. I’m a demon, of course. Yulian-sama… Hmm… As far as I know, I know him because of his peculiar constitution. However, Chloe-sama, a human, will not be able to easily withstand the demonic energy that blooms at night. That’s why I’m a little worried about Chloe-sama when I’m moving at night…”
“Hmm. The clothes I wear and the accessories I wear have a basic resistance function. There is no problem even if you enter a fairly high-ranked dungeon. And wouldn’t it be okay to use Goddess Istia’s divine spell?”
“That’s true, but the monster’s demonic power and Unir’s demonic energy have different forms. Of course, if Chloe-sama didn’t use mana and focused only on defense, there would be no problem breaking through the road…”
“You shouldn’t use mana? Hehe… I don’t want to be a burden. Well, you don’t have to worry though. There’s no way that Margie would be a problem for a woman like that…”
Chloe was confident. I told them both.
“Tricia. You don’t have to worry about that. I have everything prepared.”
“Oh. Is that so? You look like a count after all.”
Chloe looked at me curiously.
“Is there a way to stop Magi?”
“Yes. Because you’ve already thought of everything. Hurry up and finish your meal and close your eyes.”
Although it is still daytime. It was better to force myself to close my eyes because I had to break through this primeval forest all night.
‘And even for Chloe.’
After a while, the three of them went back to their respective seats and finished getting ready for sleep.
***
Chloe couldn’t sleep easily.
That Tricia, Cecilia’s older sister. Although her thread was her elf, she moved her tree to make a very comfortable bed.
Chloe is always human. He couldn’t be at ease in this primeval forest full of demons everywhere.
‘Well, it’s me, so it’s like this. Others must have been trembling.’
It is the nature of a merchant to jump into any place for profit. So when he headed to the primeval forest, he accompanied them without hesitation.
I can’t help but have a lot of thoughts in my head. Even if it’s Tricia, a demon. As far as Julian’s motive for action. Even the smartest woman couldn’t figure it out easily.
‘The hero’s grandson… And the Daeseongnyeo’s son had connections with the demons like this. And Tricia, a demon, also had a strange sense of awe toward Yulian. No way…’
I thought it was an absurd rumor. Julian’s real father, bard Riel. If that unidentified genius bard was really a demon.
In this place where the demons were no different from a sacred place, I could understand Yulian’s reaction that was so calm. It means that he also has demonic blood.
‘But Yulian-nim doesn’t seem to have any plans to hide that fact from me. Then you wouldn’t have brought me. Maybe sooner or later I’ll be sure to tell you about him.’
Because I have so many thoughts. Sleep couldn’t come easily. He was sensitive to his senses because he was full of demons everywhere. Even the time is still daytime.
‘Hmm… I can’t do that… If I have to stay up all night, I’ll have to close my eyes at least a little.’
Tricia made their own beds. And she made enough screens out of vines and leaves. It was like a private room.
‘Then, if I lose some strength… I’ll be able to fall asleep. There’s nothing to be found out about.’
Chloe lifted the hem of her dress. Then she put her hand between her crotch. On top of her panties, her fingers touched.
Let her fingertips touch her most sensitive part. She felt a tingling sensation of pleasure.
“Uhhhhh”
I felt my clitoris straighten up behind my panties.
This morning. As much as he had been very much looking forward to meeting Yulian. She kept suppressing her sexual desire.
But as long as the situation is the situation. She couldn’t be bothered to do more than hold her hand with him.
‘Because I’m doing something important enough to come all the way to this distant primeval forest.’
But she couldn’t help but feel sad. Just like this, go over to the side where he is sleeping. I want to mix my body vigorously.
Chloe tried to satisfy her desire with masturbation.
‘And by this time, too, I approached first. No matter how much a woman is like me… A woman who is too easy loses her charm. I have to restrain myself.’
When I stimulate the clitoris, which has just become stiff, it seems that the sexual feeling is further raised.
“Haa… Ah… Julian… Julian-sama… Joa… Aang!!”
Calling out Yulian’s name in such a low voice. Followed her masturbation. Chloe’s masturbation always reminded only of Julian.
The imagination of being tossed around by his big cock. Because he always drove Chloe crazy. When masturbation continues like that.
In an instant, Chloe hurriedly removed her hand from her panties.
‘Are you pretending to be popular?’
Carefully in Chloe’s space, I heard the sound of the tree vine door opening. Of course, the only person who would enter this place was Tricia, unless it was Yulian.
‘Tricia? But. The demons might have plans…’
As much as a place is a place. I couldn’t completely relax.
But soon she was relieved. Because the visitor was Julian. But I never thought he would come.
‘The Count?’
Chloe pretended to be asleep and waited for Julian’s next move.
And, Yulian did something completely unexpected. Chloe lay down next to her and pretended to be asleep. She came up behind her and hugged Chloe.
‘Yulian… First?’
And Chloe couldn’t help but be surprised. Yulian reached out to his upper body and began to massage his chest.
