Chapter 308 – 308. The Wife Left the House (3)
=============================
A journey to recover the wife who left home.
It was an incident that was complexly entangled with the politics and interests of the elves, but if you explain the current situation from Yushin’s point of view, it wasn’t exactly wrong.
As a married couple,
The sudden breakup due to external factors came as a big shock.
“Hey.”
A blonde high elf girl, who had followed her master on a quest to find her sister, cried out as she pressed both hands to the swollen bump on her head.
For fun,
‘It’s okay,’ she joked, ‘because you’re having a good time with that blonde punk by now.’
Seeing the stupid behavior of a fellow of her age who earned a beating for a pointless joke, the blue-haired resident here put on a bewildered expression.
“But why did Leticia refuse to accompany her? When it comes to her sister, she hangs on to death.”
Alone hinted at the image of the academy honor student who had politely declined to accompany her.
Yushin opened his mouth.
“Leticia must be busy too. Unlike some lazy roommate, she is passionate about family affairs.”
“Huh!”
Finding Ardena was not difficult.
As long as she is in the realm of elves,
Because she could never escape El Cid’s eyes.
Having obtained information from El that Ardena’s party is currently in the northern coastal town, evading the pursuit of the Yetzirah Council, Yushin headed there with Allen and Alone.
“So what are these guys going to do, Brother?”
Allen grabbed one of the elves who was screaming in pain as he fell to the floor.
Elf knights sent by the Council of Yetzirah,
He had come to ask Yushin to attend the assembly.
Of course, Yushin wasn’t docile enough to sympathize with the council’s decision like Ileina, so she had the mad dogs of Roxfield make the elven knights sent by the council just enough to keep them alive.
“Let’s just leave it.”
“Okay.”
In response to Yushin’s answer, Allen nodded her head with her confident voice and threw the elf knight who had been grabbed by the collar back to the floor.
“Eh, the Demon King Slayer… ! You never know when the Demon King of Explosives will storm the Yetzirah Council! If even the council collapses when the priest turns out to be fake… , We elves will lose their lives and scatter!”
The elven knight, who had been knocked back to the ground by Allen, cried out in a screaming voice.
With an expression stained with desperation,
She begged to save her compatriots.
“I think you are misunderstanding something…. It was for the sake of Ardena and her two disciples that she fought against Savnak at that time. I never fought for you guys. I have no intention of risking my life to fight for that proud council.”
Because you saved me last time
I will definitely save you this time too.
Yushin responded to the appeal of the elf knight, who seemed to be misunderstood and misunderstood.
“Cure with this.”
After putting down a bottle of healing potion brought from Valencia Castle next to the elf knight,
I started moving my stopped steps again.
“They are really funny people. Oppa isn’t the kind of person who wipes their butts. So if favor continues, you think it’s a right? Humans and long ears… There’s not much difference.”
Where did you hear it,
Yushin opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised to see Allen explaining the current situation while using rather difficult words.
“I know how to write difficult words. I saw you again.”
“What are you looking at me for?”
“I saw you as a cute poopy puppy.”
In response to Allen’s pouting expression, Yushin hugged her slender waist and let her laugh.
“Why did my sister go to the sea? Escape overseas?!”
Her older sister, who was an idol who was respected and respected by her compatriots, became a criminal pursued by the council in an instant.
Alone, who had many delusions about him,
Branded as a criminal, she was horrified that her older sister might take a boat docked at her dock and flee abroad.
“I have a more honest and sincere personality than anyone else… , I heard from a friend that with that kind of personality, it’s easier to change suddenly if pushed to the limit!”
“You have no friends.”
“Ah, anyway, that’s what it says!”
At Yushin’s advice to point out the most painful part, Alone reacted as if he had been stabbed in the face.
She has an older sister and she might be the real criminal.
She feared that her older sister, who had sacrificed and devoted herself for her compatriots for more than three hundred years, would be stigmatized by the council as she was branded a criminal.
“Don’t worry. Because I love that kind of Ardena too.”
Hearing that, Allen
She murmured as she munched the orange she had been keeping in her backpack to her mouth.
“I’m floating six packs….”
Lately, her sour fruit has hit her palate.
In the past, I never touched fruit at all.
At some point, the fruit… In particular, I prefer fruits with a sour taste.
I couldn’t figure out why, though.
“Shouldn’t we hurry up? What if my sister goes abroad on a real boat?”
“Well…. You are right.”
Allone’s words have some truth.
After Yushin carried Alone on his back,
She decided to make her way to the northern coastal town where Ardena was located, a little more hurriedly.
Wooooo!!!
But at that moment
Tectonic shifts spread throughout the land.
It was a roaring sound and a shockwave, as if a monster buried in the ground had raised a gigantic body.
It was not a shock that only some sensitive people could sense, but a seismic shift so great that elves in cities and villages far away, including the surrounding area where the reverberation occurred, could also feel it.
“Allen!”
“That way!”
At Yushin’s call, Allen turned her head in the direction where her cataclysm began.
An artificial shaking of the ground caused by a torrent of great force.
Undoubtedly.
A wide range of phenomena caused by the power of the demon king,
It was the shaking of the earth’s crust caused by the energy release.
The place where the ground tremor started is in the east. To be precise, it took place in the Aquitaine Mountains, which separates the kingdom of Valois from the country of the elves.
It was the Aquitaine Mountains, guarded by the elven rangers, where the impact was large enough to annihilate the city and silence all life within it.
* * *
Ardena and the others were hiding in a seaside villa owned by a disciple of Bariteon.
It was a very grandiose villa.
As a disciple of Bariteon who likes colorful and extravagant things, the villa on top of a hill overlooking the clear northern coast was reminiscent of a small castle.
“To be so extravagant… ! I can’t believe it!”
Amber room that exists inside the villa.
Ardena was shocked to see that the entire room was decorated with pumpkins emitting a brilliant golden color.
What about the other rooms?
It was adorned with various jewels, including gold.
Ardena, as well as Liana, reacted in amazement at the new world she was seeing for the first time. For her country-born girl, the rooms decorated with gold and precious stones seemed to be in another world.
“What are you so surprised about? All high elf nobles have at least one or two villas of this size.”
“Shut up! Do not insult the honor of the high elves!”
Ardena, who responded harshly to Baritheon’s words, wondered if she could comfortably stay in such a luxurious place when she was being pursued by the council.
It’s a place that’s embarrassingly flashy.
If you are a fugitive being chased, don’t you stay in a remote place with few people or an abandoned house that smells like mold?
The villa, which was a place of refuge and was guided by Bariteon, had a completely opposite appearance from the general image.
“Then let’s lie down in such filthy ruins that look like they’re all about to collapse? Wouldn’t that be too harsh for our elegant high priestess?”
Saying so, Bariteon dismissed Ardena’s protest at once.
Ilaina sat on the soft sofa,
Liana rummaged through her kitchen for a long time and was sipping her cocoa.
Cocoa with plenty of cream and marshmallows. After taking a sip of her cocoa, Il Reina let out a pleasant sound as her eyes twinkled as if she were addicted to the sweetness that tickled her tongue.
“Senior Senpai, no matter what the place is… , How about taking a rest first? The high priest must be very tired too.”
At Liana’s hint, Ardena sighed and nodded her head.
She lost her cool for a moment.
Do you think her heart has become too impatient?
Since she became her warrior chief three hundred years ago, she is an Ardena who has been loyal to the Council of Yetzira without the slightest suspicion or distrust, so she can afford to stop being chased by them. I lost it.
It was a very natural result.
It was because Ardena and Valencia, the more noble and honorable knight than anyone else, had never been a fugitive being pursued with a false accusation.
“Whoa…. Commander Liana, she was right. I think I lost my cool for a moment. Bariteon, I have been rude to you for a while. Apologize.”
To Ardena’s apology, Liana replied with her wry smile, and Bari Theon shrugged her shoulders.
“Here is the blanket.”
Where did you get it from,
Lyana offered Rayna her soft fleece blanket as she sat on her couch.
“Hmm.”
Seeing the young priestess crouching on her sofa as she wrapped her blanket around her, Ardena let out a sigh of relief and sat down on her table, as if her tension had finally eased. .
Running her slender fingers across her face,
In the future, she pondered how to deal with the Yetzirah Council’s pursuit.
‘I miss Yushin….’
Father and brother,
I missed my beloved lover.
Is this what a fugitive feels like?
It was a feeling I never wanted to know.
“The kitchen was full of food. Grandpa, can I get you something?”
“Well…. Then could you bring me a rhyme?”
“Yes, I understand.”
I suddenly had a craving for sour fruit.
Limes are more sour than lemons.
I ordered a sour fruit that made my tongue tingle.
“It’s okay to sleep. In any case, I will definitely stand by your side.”
“Yes…. Thanks, Ardena.”
Like a yellow chick,
Ardena, who saw Il Reina start to doze while shaking her head, said while sitting next to her.
In response, Ileina nodded her head.
Ardena quietly took the silver-haired little girl in her arms and slowly laid her down on the sofa.
She remembered her sister in Valencia Castle,
She looked at Ileina, who had become a member of the council, with pity in her eyes and gave her a lap pillow.
Laying her head on her soft lap, Ileina soon fell asleep with a sound of quick breathing.
“I thought she was a hard, nonchalant woman,” She said. She never knew that she had such kind maternal love.”
“… Isn’t it just right?”
She was Baritheon who opened her mouth to tease,
She was unable to respond to Ardena’s answer and had to kick her tongue.
“As you know, Hierarch Ilaina firmly believed that she was the reincarnation of her first priest, but she did not avert her eyes from her hard duties and heavy responsibilities. And she also accepted all of her sacrifice and dedication.”
The girl who worked harder than anyone else
The young priest who devoted herself to her duties and responsibilities more than anyone else for her compatriots,
Why should she be called a ‘fake’ and she should be humiliated and insulted as a ‘fake’?
It was unreasonable.
So she couldn’t tolerate it.
His wrath was close to murderous intent against the tribe of the priests, who thoroughly played with the fate of this young girl with sweet temptations and lies.
After all, all the storms were caused by the desire of the old priests to build the Tower of Greed forever.
“… Bariteon!”
The high elf knight who was staring at the peaceful face of the young priest who was soundly asleep suddenly shouted a warning.
Leaving behind the sleeping priest,
She glared at the window to the east of her while taking out the Holy Sword she had placed right next to her.
Slippery.
As soon as Ardena’s warning was over, a pitch-black shadow flew in.
It looks like slimy mud,
A black shadow passed through the half-open window.
Subsequently, as soon as the shadow successfully entered the interior of the villa, it took the form of a slender woman.
“Is this the place you ran away from the most, Ardena?”
Blue hair created by shadows.
As the mud-like shadow lifted, a pure white face embracing cold beauty appeared.
A sharp nose and thick lips. Along with an expressionless expression embracing a chill, jet-black eyes that seemed to be made of shadows flashed.
He is the 2nd head of the priesthood,
An existence that is also the Demon Lord of Explosive Slaughter.
As if she had been following her all this time, Corte dos Liberia appeared in front of Ardena’s group, who were hiding in her villa to avoid the parliament’s pursuit.
