Chapter 224 – 224. Saving Lives Is Not a Sin!
The backyard of the mansion.
Among the various sculptures, in front of me, I saw a table with a small white roof attached to it.
“You said you wanted to talk. What is it?”
“Rather than talking, I wanted to ask you a favor. Hmmm, should I call it a request? Mr. Player✩”
She continued the conversation while slowly checking the condition of the surrounding sculptures for abnormalities.
“How was your stay here?”
“The labor was unexpected, but it wasn’t bad… More than that, was the maid uniform that Preah was wearing handmade?”
“Umm~ Did you really hate it?”
It was the best! Thanks to you, it was hot!
“Will you do that sinister expression on your own later?”
“Oh, sorry”
“First, I wanted to say thank you. I didn’t know that I would be able to deal with multiple giants. Are you sure you want to challenge Shinhwa?”
“A myth?”
“I’m kidding✩ Oh wait. The sculpture is about to scatter a little.”
She pulled a pair of small scissors from the inside of her skirt and trimmed the plant sculpture.
But why are you carrying scissors inside your skirt? You’re hurt.
“It’s a hobby✩”
“Are you trimming the sculpture?”
“No. You carry scissors✩”
Stop that hobby!! And don’t be proud with your scissors!!
“What do you think of this place?”
“I think it’s a good place because it’s quiet and the air is clear. I like this place. What~ Too many rooms is a downside?”
“You didn’t ask about the downside?”
“It was that good”
Whenever she stopped to check the sculpture, I also followed at a certain distance.
“How is our master?”
“It was the first time I had ever seen a dark elf, but it was very beautiful.”
“Ahem! Of course! I raised it✩ but it’s hard to see such a pretty Dark Elf✩”
“Yes, would you like to grow up? You?”
The maid who was fixing the sculpture was smiling, but her eyes didn’t look like that at all.
“Will you take her… Everuna? I want to give you a lot of experiences outside of here.”
“You can take it out.”
“High elves cannot leave Elkesia. The reason I disqualified her was prepayment, in a way. It is a request fee.”
“Then what about Grace? You mean you’re going to be here alone? Are you letting the owner go?”
“I just want my master to be happy wherever I go.”
“You are like a parent. Do you know how distressed he must be if you send him away?”
“She is an adult now. It’s the age I don’t need. I still have a lot of shortcomings, but I believe that with more experience I will get better.”
He must have been thinking about this for a long time, so he thought that now was his chance and asked me for such an unreasonable request…
“I know you are running a guild. There are still a lot of immature things to see, but it will definitely help.”
“It’s not possible. Until you explain the right reason.”
Taking the Dark Elf was not particularly difficult. It could be better for her to narrow her relationship with her.
But… The problem is the hidden quest.
– Beep
{[Hidden Quest]}
– Deal with the last high elf.
Deal with Simply put, it means kill. I wondered if I had to kill her now in front of her eyes while looking at her .. Before her Preah, but now her target has changed.
“Mr. Player, I gave you the ending you wanted. So shouldn’t you give me something too?”
“Explanation comes first. Haven’t heard yet It doesn’t matter how long, so please give me a reason to take her out.”
“…”
He nodded quietly and headed towards the table where he had almost arrived.
As if this situation was also predicted, there were simple snacks and tea cups on the table.
“Sit.”
Recognizing that she was a maid, she guided me to the chair I was going to sit on, and then lightly kissed the teacup that was already inside while facing me.
“Drink.”
“It’s not a poison bullet, is it?”
“Did you ride it? My love✩”
“This is the first time I’ve heard someone say that love is poison.”
As long as the tea has enough heat to boil the tea… In my experience, there doesn’t seem to be a problem with the smell.
Doubtful, but goodwill must be accepted here.
“I’ll have a good drink. Hmm? Is it better than you think?”
“Ahem! It is the result of research for longer than the time you have lived✩ Of course! Snacks are included here.”
“It’s not fruit.”
“Are these fruits the ones I grew myself?”
“Ah.. It’s delicious!”
When I emptied the teacup at once, I saw that the downed energy was restored, and it looked much better than before.
“So, what is the reason?”
“… Can you just move on? If you don’t want to accept the request, you can just refuse.. I want to leave it up to you.”
“Again, I want to hear the reason. I’ll listen and judge.”
“It’s difficult to judge after hearing it. Please decide first.”
“Then let me ask you something else. Why fold? There must have been a lot of players who came here during that time.”
“Before Master was born, there were people like you, but in the last 300 years, there was no player I wanted. Usually players are the ones who come to enjoy this place. That’s why most of them move only for their own desires.”
“It’s not that different from me, it’s a show”
“But you see us as equals, don’t you? Oh, by the way, your mercenaries are playing in the front yard. We asked the wearer of the blindfold to keep as little noise as possible while we were here.”
“You mean Lane.”
“You are the one who came here a year ago. Back then, she led others herself, but not now. I’m glad you seem to have more energy than before.”
“Mr. Grace”
“Yes?”
“Don’t talk back”
“…”
What kind of story are you talking about while turning to the flow? It’s unforgivable..
“That’s right”
“Yes?”
“I did her unforgivable thing to her .. Her master. Of course she doesn’t know this.”
Her mouth smiles as if she recalled memories of her past, but her eyes are vague.
“I had no choice but to do my job as a high elf. And the mission the bamboo forest gave me was the death of the Dark Elves, who are protected by the earth. I am a High Elf who has lived with Dark Elves for about 800 years.”
“…What is that…”
“The worst high elf who killed not only the ancestors of my master, Everuna Nates, but also her entire family.”
—-
Without any emotion, I annihilated numerous intruders by the choice of the bamboo forest.
Humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and all beast races.
Those who were not allowed by the bamboo forest were killed.
That is what Daesup wanted. That is the mission given to me as a high elf.
Literally a guardian.
I have annihilated all beings who invaded Elkesia.
That’s 800 years.
“Ah~! Ayeeeeeng~~!!”
Today, as I dealt with the enemies in Elkesia, I eventually dealt with the last surviving Dark Elf.
“Ah!! Ayeeeeeng~~~~!”
It rained today. Thanks to that, my whole body, covered in blood, was washed away by the rainwater.
And…
“Ughhhhh!”
A baby’s cry came from the small basket they left behind, which I had killed myself.
“Baby..”
Newborn baby drenched in rain. Looking at the skin, it’s a dark elf.
It’s only natural that the couple lying down over there dropped it in the first place.
“Ayeeeeeng~~!!”
Is it cold cry a lot It’s annoying.. I’d rather be comfortable now..
“…?”
The newborn baby grabbed my thumb.
Small, weak and cold.. But warm.
“Baby… Ah… Ah…”
Suddenly, an unknown emotion surges up from the depths.
Suddenly your eyes tremble
I have a sore throat. And…
A sound louder than the sound of rain stimulated my ears.
Ah… This
“Aaaaa!!!! Aaaaa!!!”
It was a feeling I had forgotten about.
—-
I stopped by a nearby small town to visit a doctor to check the condition of the baby.
As a result, it was diagnosed that he would die soon.
No… No way…! I can’t let you die!
After that, I went to many villages, but the result was the same.
Death.
The little baby in front of you will soon die.
“Dear forest. Have mercy on this little being”
But the bamboo forest did not answer.
If so… I can’t get out of here in Elkesia. There is only one last way left for me.
“Lord Earth.”
…
“Please. Have mercy on this little being”
As the earth also did not have an answer, she had no choice but to watch the child’s death with her own two eyes.
The sick baby is struggling with heavy breathing.
“Please… Please, Lord, I will do anything. Please have mercy on this little child…!”
Why…Why don’t you answer…!
“He is a child under your protection!! Why don’t you help? Unlike elves, I heard that all dark elves receive the protection of the earth!!! Please help me! I’ll give you everything I have, so save me!!”
Please… Save me…
“I know… The number of people I’ve killed so far is beyond counting…! I’ll give you my heart, so please… Can you save me…?”
I’m fine. Even if I live any longer, it will be a life that kills others, so even if I die here…!
At that moment, I sensed a gentle sound resonating in my ears.
– What if I die?
