A Saint Who Wants to Fall 70

Chapter 70 – Suspicious Elf

Episode 70 Suspicious Elf

Sarak-

The aura scatters along the trajectory of the line of sight.
The footsteps, feeling the gloomy energy, stop in place.
Although he hesitated at the spirit of the strong man, he retreated.
Like a hyena aiming for prey, it prostrates itself and sets up a vigilance.

“… !”

Tarsha, who was taking a break, jumped up.
She moves her eyes from place to place and she reveals an arrogant and imposing spirit.

“My people in Aberglow, I am from the Dark Woods.”

Tarsha’s voice resounds quietly in the quiet forest.
The dignity of the elven king stood still.

Sarak, Sarak.

The elves show their faces one by one.
I felt a chilling warning from the numerous gazes I felt through the dense trees.
The bowstring he was holding looked like it would shoot straight away if he did anything stupid.
Sensing her apparent hostility, Lesilia stroked one of her arms.

“It’s the same people I haven’t seen in a few hundred years.”

An elf, hidden from afar, was coming comfortably.
In line with their high-status footsteps, the elves bowed.

“Olivia… ?”
“Huh, you seem to know my sister. Is she a member of the expedition? Or a member of the royal family?”

The elf is surprisingly similar to Olivia, the elf king of the Aberglow Forest.
If you look closely, there are differences.

Short, wavy hair with curled ends, a slender but slightly smaller body.
In particular, it was different in impression and atmosphere.
If Olivia was like the perfect cat, that side was more like her fox.

“Are you very surprised? I am Eleiza, the twin sister of the Elf King.”

Blue-green eyes close to green draw a curve.
Eleza naturally raises her greetings while looking at the Ika route.
At the gaze full of interest and curiosity, Ikarut and Tarsha exchange silent glances with each other.

“Jim, as the king from the Darkwood, wants to meet the elven king of Aberglow alone.”
“That is a little difficult. My sister left for the expedition with the hero, so I am acting as the queen.”

Olivia seemed to stay by the hero’s side.
She was loyal and honest, so she took on the role of support.
Ikarut listened to the conversation while thinking of an episode he remembered while playing the hero.

“If the king himself came from Darkwood, it must be an important matter.”
“I don’t think it’s anything to say here, so why don’t we move?”
“I don’t care. But… These people must be different.”

Eleza raises her palm.
At that moment, all the elves drew their bowstrings.

Lesilia seemed surprised by her sudden change of attitude, and caught her hands together in a startling way.
It was a weak response, but the elves’ vigilance grew even stronger.
The air quickly tightened.

“Olivia unnie doesn’t reveal her face to the public. Only a few humans know her. For example, the hero of this generation, the great sage, the royal family, and… They are high priests.”

A bowstring that draws more.
A gentle voice pierces the stillness without interruption.

“As far as I know, there are no women among the high priests. Oh, there is one.”

Elisa’s lips curl slowly.

“The saintess is here.”

The slanting blue-green eyes emit a deep light.
Lesilia had covered her hair color and aura with her magic.
Even an elf with excellent senses would look like an ordinary woman with black hair.
Clever Elijah predicted and saw through in an instant.

“Ha, guess.”
“Then show me the proof. We are not as friendly to humans as you are.”

As Tarsha snorts her, Eleazar withdraws her hand.
At the same time, the elves also lowered their bowstrings.

“These are travelers who meet in a village near Darkwood and accompany Jim.
This human woman waited on the saintess. She must have made a mistake because she was seeing the elven king for the first time in rumors. Jim will apologize on your behalf.”
“I-I will also apologize.”

Lesilia awkwardly bows her back and pretends she doesn’t know anything.
As if Tarsha’s eloquence had been eaten, Eleiza’s head tilted to her side.

“I am very excited. So, how do you feel seeing me who resembles the king of elves?”
“Ah… Be beautiful It’s far more elegant and noble than rumor has it.”
“Contrary to his appearance, he is a smart human being. I like it very much.”

Eleza came closer and held her chin lightly.
She lifts her mouth lazily, seemingly in a good mood, and moves her gaze back.
Her eyes looking at Ika Root are strange.

“That person is also a traveler.”
“Huh, I thought so.”

What? Tarsha narrowed her eyebrows lightly.
Eleiza’s mood seemed to have changed, as if her palm had been turned over.
It wasn’t her exclusive attitude at all.
It was somehow annoying that she quietly closed her eyes and smiled softly.

“They have received the oath of the elves, so they will not harm you.”
“Oh… Even the oath of the elves. They are quite trustworthy people.”

Eleza covers her mouth as if slightly surprised.
To an elf who blindly kept her promise, her oath was the same as risking her life.
The oath of the elves was not accepted by anyone, and they were more careful with other races.

“If the King of the Dark Woods is like that, I have nothing more to say. Let’s move places first.”

The elves were completely disarmed.
Eliza moves her feet lightly, accompanying her kind in front of her.
She gives a sneaky glance at Ikarut and puts her baby flesh in her mouth.
She felt a slight current of air through her.

***

In between, there was a burrow presumed to be a house in a large tree.
There is no separate entrance to the village, and you can hear the laughter of young elves flying through the sky.
Since the outside was a salt desert where life could not live, the entire Aberglow Forest was the home of the elves.
They were the same elves, but their lifestyle and atmosphere were quite different.

“Isn’t it very different from Dark Wood?”
“Yeah, it’s surprisingly different.”
“Huh, but if you look closely, you will find many similarities.”

Upon entering the tent, Eleiza was naturally treated.
The lady-in-waiting and her archers went out like air.
The signs are gone.
Only then does Tarsha’s vigilance soften.

“Thank you for trusting us.”
“They are the same people. And she was personally paraded by the King of the Darkwood, so there’s no doubt about it.”

Eleiza fully believed in her people and herd.
Fortunately, she was not as exclusive as Olivia, the elven king.

“Actually, I was curious. This place is in the middle of the salt desert where no one comes. You have no idea how amazed she was when she first saw the human warrior.”

Eleza opened her mouth.
Unlike her twin sister, her younger sister Elisa is curious about humans.

“I also wanted to go on an adventure together. But because I had to protect the elves, I couldn’t leave the Everglow Forest. It is an honor to meet another king of the elves like this.”
“It is also the first time for Jim to face Aberglow’s own people. If there is a chance, I would like to invite you to Darkwood.”
“Huh, thank you so much just for the words.”

Soon the conversation was cordial.
Drinking thickly brewed green tea, ask each other about the current situation.
After talking for a while, Tarsha spoke her words in earnest.

“Jim is looking for the root of the World Tree. That’s why he needed Aberglow’s help, so he came directly.”
“He said he came to find something new?”

Eleiza snoops her head.
The root of the World Tree was a divine object in legend.
In fact, since it’s just a folktale that’s not even accurate, it was amazing how Tarsha spoke seriously.

“It’s hard to believe, but I guess the roots of the World Tree are real. They say it usually appears in places with holy swords.”
“I think the traveler who was with me told me about it.”

Eleiza smiles and watches her Icar route.
Tarsha tut inside her, but clicked her tongue. Like a king, she showed no discomfort.

“So, does the root of the World Tree have anything to do with the Aberglow Forest?”
“They say there is a chance that the holy sword will appear.”
“The Holy Sword… It’s a holy sword…”

Elisa runs her fingertips over her lips.
As if contemplating, he lowers his gaze and looks at the teacup.
She looks at someone reflected in the teacup, then lifts her eyelids.

“As expected, you found the holy sword.”
“… Okay.”

Tar Sha meekly nodded her head.
She then rolls her eyes as if she knew.
Eleiza’s view was deeper than she thought.
She was not shy, and it seemed that she would easily be found out if she lied.

“Unfortunately, there is no holy sword here. Of course, the roots of the World Tree did not appear.”
“Know.”
“But I know the direction of the holy sword.”

Dalgrak, Ikarut put down the teacup.
She meets their staring gaze in silence and Eleiza drinks her tea.

“Hero has already found the holy sword.”
“… !! What?!”
“Mysteriously, I heard that the Great Sage is in the basement of the Mage Tower.”
“Under! If you found the Holy Sword, you have a chance to turn the tide in the human world.”

Tarsha ignited the embers of hope.
Only the holy sword drawn by the hero gave the demon king a unique death.
If the human world wins, the demons that choke on the breath will retreat, and the demons and monsters that disturb the order will disappear.

“Well. Even if there is a holy sword, if the hero doesn’t use it, it’ll be a joke.”
“… What do you mean?”
“Olivia unni has sworn an oath to the hero of this generation again. No matter what the hero does, I will follow you, and even if it is for a bad purpose, I will be loyal.”

Tarsha’s fists loosen.
For some reason she was insecure.
Sipping, Eleiza, drinking her tea, raises her mouth in her pouty.

“The hero of this generation has no intention of saving the world.”
“Her… ! That is unreliable!”
“I was told by her sister that even after finding the holy sword, she did not break the seal.”
“The hero’s mission is to protect the world!”

Bang! An angry fist smashes the table.
The reason why the hero appeared in Dark Wood was also because of the holy sword.
Even though she had already searched for the holy sword, she brazenly appeared in front of Tarsha.

‘Does it make sense that he had no intention of even stopping the world’s destruction!’

Caught in the tongue of a hero, he swore an oath of an elf like an idiot.
It’s stuffy and stuffy.
Order collapsed the moment he was conquered by the Demon Realm.

Demons were cast over it, and animals and plants became withered.
Monsters that prey on them dominated the ecosystem.
People with wealth and honor were busy fighting, doubting and betraying each other.
The majority of powerless humans wept in pain.
The same was true of this race.

At times like this, we need to unite and stick together, but those who stood on the main axis were stupid.

‘The saintess betrayed the human world, and the hero didn’t care what the world was like.’

There was no bar like this.
Tarsha’s eager gaze naturally turned to the saintess.
Lesilia’s slender shoulders flinched, but she avoided it by drinking her tea.

“Is the king of the elves of Aberglow only watching this situation?”
“Huh, Olivia-sister only honored the peace of the forest and the elves in the first place. Humans and other races won’t matter.”
“Huh, you have a short-sighted view! Elrond, the ancient king of the elves, must weep.”
“I think so.”

Elisa readily agreed.
Tarsha raised her eyebrows slightly, and she smiled softly.
The corners of her eyes, which were softly curled up, were somehow filled with excitement.
