Chapter 268 – Legacy of House Ellenen (10)
*
I never thought Kanis, who was always confident, could have such a face.
“What? Why are you laughing?”
The mood seems to have broken because I laughed in a serious atmosphere.
“I’ll get out of here no matter what. Don’t worry so much.”
Humans are animals that are affected by the environment. It’s a choice that doesn’t know how it will change in the whole state.
In response, he covered her inner body with a blanket as a sign of refusal.
“…?”
Kanis, who checked her own condition by her actions, seemed to be unaware that she had nothing on top, and her face began to heat up.
“Now..Wait! Don’t get me wrong!”
Hmmm, maybe she meant to wear nothing underneath.
“Now…Because I’m just frustrated and don’t wear her clothes before going to bed! I… I didn’t do this on purpose!
Seeing her bewildered to the point where she couldn’t even speak, I might have been mistaken.
“Don’t worry, I won’t misunderstand you.”
“Damn… Annoying!”
Aria and Adela adjusting their voices as if they hadn’t forgotten to sleep.
She sighed and burst into laughter as Kanis hurriedly disappeared into the tent.
[I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Siwoo refuse first. ]
‘Is this a reaction of surprise?’
[Because I saw it. ]
‘What do you think of me? It’s a bit disappointing.’
Well, I’m not touching anyone.
I have nothing to say about Minji’s mother or Seo-ah’s mother, but it’s different from Kanis.
The two of you can somehow take responsibility, but Kanis said if she left here she might be left alone.
‘I don’t touch people who can’t take responsibility.’
Turning her head at the sound of her rustle, this time she came out of her sieve tent, where the kanis that was firmly covering her breasts still retained her redness.
“That..Just means that there is a heart. That..Wasn’t that far.”
“No one said anything.”
“Because he’s not that easy. It means don’t get me wrong!”
I smiled moderately and nodded her head. Well, I think it’s an illusion to look more angry at my reaction.
“…”
Kanis went inside her tent, made sure she couldn’t see outside, and covered her face with both hands.
‘How to. How to!’
It was her sleeping habit that she didn’t wear clothes when she went to sleep because she hated being stuffy.
As usual, she goes out without knowing that she is not wearing her clothes.
It was clear that Siwoo Kim had seen her own breasts.
‘That… Must have been what the older sisters said, right?’
Kanis flinched at the massive size she felt beneath her, evidence that men were aroused.
She sometimes heard her talk about her size, but never heard of her being that big.
If something like that comes in, surely it will hurt?
‘What…What are you thinking!’
Feeling the heat, I covered her face again. It was a place I had never shown to other men.
I never thought I’d be revealing my inner self in such a ridiculous way.
‘My… My breasts… Don’t look weird, right?’
I wouldn’t be excited if it looked weird.
Even in a state of excitement, those eyes that looked at him as if he was worried came to mind.
Unlike other men, his gaze was soft and warm, not sticky or repulsive.
A strange, incomprehensible guy.
‘So… I think I’ve gotten better…’
I had the feeling that I would not be able to fall asleep easily tonight because of the thoughts that kept coming to my mind.
*
It has been several days since I started wandering in the woods.
Meal time, which should have been enjoyable, returned, but our reaction was not so good.
That will be too. The food is running low, because I haven’t been able to find anything.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t find the legacy, I’m hoping I can find a way out, but I haven’t found anything.
I thought that if I just moved forward in one direction, anything would come out, but this forest was endless.
At first it seemed like they were just joking around, but now they weren’t talking to each other.
“…”
“…”
A time of silence where only rattles can be heard.
If I keep going like this, I’ll either go crazy or wither to death in this forest.
It’s not like he’s notorious for nothing.
‘It couldn’t be without an end.’
If you move only one way, you should come out no matter what comes out, but even in reality, if you get stranded in the desert without a compass, you can’t get out and die.
I wasn’t even sure if I was going the right way.
‘It would have been different if there was something like a compass, but there is no such thing.’
People who get lost in the desert say that it is not easy to get out of there.
The hot sun and insufficient water and food are also problems, but it is not easy to move in one direction.
Whether it is a congenital factor or an acquired factor, I have heard that the length of the legs are subtly different, and when viewed from above, they turn round and round without realizing it.
‘We might be in a similar situation.’
Still, there were adventurers who escaped, so it’s not that there’s no way, but in that case, most of them turned around from the beginning.
I was told that most of us never came back once we got in this deep.
‘Freya.’
[“Did you call?” ]
‘What kind of guy did you say Callis was?’
[ “He was a man who always went first to save more people. Even in situations where others could despair, Callis…” ]
The story of a hero who often comes to mind, a hero who overcomes countless hardships and adversity and moves forward.
Could such a guy leave a legacy in such a bad place?
There is something I want to check.
“Uh.. Ara-sama?”
“…Yes?”
She didn’t think that she would suddenly call her, but her reaction was slow as if there was a delay.
“Are there any legends or records of the past about this forest?”
She said she was interested in archaeology over the course of a few days, so I wonder if she knew about this information.
“A record..?”
With a puzzled look on her face at her sudden question, she began to tell the story she knew.
“There are two main theories about the origin of the Mist Forest.”
One is, as I heard, that there was a great war in ancient times, and that the foggy forest was created as space was distorted by the influence of that time.
Another hypothesis was that the forest was created when a wizard failed in an experiment.
“The latter story has little literature and is hard to find, so there are many people who refuse to acknowledge it.”
“Are there any words left by the wizard?”
“Uh… They say he warned me not to look for him unless he was qualified, so there’s even a story that he didn’t let anyone in around this forest.”
She seemed to like talking about ancient records, and her dark expression seemed bright.
“Other records say that he was an ally of the hero… But I don’t know the details.”
“I see. Thanks for letting me know.”
“Ah… No. I like to talk about things like this too. Haha…”
She smiles shyly, as if she knew the atmosphere was not like that.
As a companion of the hero, no matter how strong he was, he probably couldn’t solve everything on his own.
‘Freya? Did the hero ever have a wizard colleague?’
[“Comrades? Yes. There were many other companions besides the wizard.” ]
I feel like I’m missing something.
‘Can you tell me more about the wizard?’
[“Yes? She was a very good wizard.” ]
‘Wait, was it a woman, not a man?’
[“Yes. Matilda was a very beautiful female mage. She helped Kalis on many battlefields.” ]
It’s a woman, not a man, because there are many cases in which history has been misrepresented over time.
[“She loved Callis, but it never came to pass.” ]
‘Because of marriage to that princess?’
[“Yes. Callis, who did not forget her princess even after her death, refused her heart to her Matilda.” ]
At first, it was a marriage that was inevitable, but he said that he was moved by her heart for the people.
Her heart was stolen by her princess, but she left her world first at a young age.
Callis said that she had been sad all her life, unable to forget her.
And, the wizard who loved her all her life, looking only at such a man.
A tragic love story.
‘Maybe this forest is Matilda’s work?’
If she was a colleague who fought alongside a man with the strongest military force to the point of being recorded in her record, she would not have normal skills either.
At that level, it might not be strange to create a forest like this.
‘The thread disappeared, and the traces engraved on the tree were erased. It’s hard to think of it as a normal forest.’
It would be correct to think that some force is acting arbitrarily.
‘I can’t be sure, but this looks like a high probability.’
I don’t know how she made this forest, but I can only guess that she didn’t create it to get Kalis’ attention.
She must have been hoping that the one who deserved her, Kalis, would find her.
If the fog in this forest is not an ordinary fog, but some unknown power, it might be able to move it.
“Chiu?”
“What are you doing?”
“I just want to check something.”
To the extent that it has been handed down to this day, it is probably his swordsmanship that best represents Kalis.
Ellenen family’s arcane swordsmanship.
I started to synchronize with the power around me with mana simbeop. As expected, it was not an ordinary fog. The fog reacted to my power.
The mists around me began to warn me, as if menacingly baring their teeth.
“Wh-what’s going on?!”
“Are you okay Siu?”
And the more I do, the more I feel that my hypothesis is getting stronger.
It felt cold and unpleasant, but I couldn’t stop there.
There was no help from the skill, but the experience of using it remained in the body.
The mist around me flows in and out of my body, circulates, and begins to tune in to my will.
Darkness falls around
“Blue moon…?”
Arya was so beautiful that she muttered the words that Reynald had been tired of hearing.
“If you see the sword for yourself, be careful not to lose your gaze to the moon…”
“The moment you look at the moon, it will already be cut…”
__ Cheongwolcham [靑月斬]
If it were her who stood on the battlefield with Khalis, she would have seen this moonlight again and again.
I mean the blue moonlight floating alone in the pitch-black sky where you can’t see the front.
The moment that blue light came to mind.
The fog is tearing away.
A road was created.
