Chapter 179 – Ep.12 – Dark Elves
———————————————
The desert is hot. Even the expression hot is not enough, so I have to use the word hot.
The sand is heated by the beating sunlight, so there is always a haze in your field of vision, and all you can see beyond the haze are grains of sand, so your eyes are infinitely tired.
Despite the fact that I’m not particularly troubled thanks to Chi-Chi’s wonderful magic, my body is slowly accumulating fatigue just with the desert scenery and the heat. Even sweat pours down like rain.
I wonder if I’m the only one who’s like this, so when I look around, the other older sisters are just walking around without much difficulty. Looking at them, I naturally feel how small and weak I am in this irrational world.
Of course, my body is relatively poor, but even breathing is difficult because of the environment of the desert… Those humans are only sweating while stepping on the sand directly.
And Helen, who doesn’t even sweat a drop, shares information with everyone even while walking in this hot desert.
“If you walk all the way like this, you will see a city located at the southern end. That place is ‘Mudriel’, the home of the Dark Elves located at the southernmost tip of our continent. It is not a very big city.”
“Dark elves weren’t elves corrupted? As far as I know, some elves broke their promise with the World Tree and ran away… “
“No? It’s just a lot of tanned skin. Because the sunlight is strong in the desert.”
At Helen’s words, Chee-Chi listens to her. Chichi has a lot of knowledge in many ways, but Helen’s bizarre knowledge is only unfamiliar stories even Chichi hears for the first time.
“Anyway, Dark Elves, like other Elves, live in numerous clans. However, Dark Elves constantly interact with each other and share supplies. Just like merchants… “
Later on, if I get a chance, I want to ask where the hell did I learn such common food. Of course, I’m not the only one who thinks this way. Chi-Chi, who stays by Helen’s side and listens intently to her every story, but still maintains a certain distance as if wary of her, must be thinking like I am.
“Dark elves lead a camel with a hump on its back like a horse, and brew wine from unusual plants called sugarcane and cactus. Ah, that drink tastes so good. If the time comes to meet the Dark Elves and get information, make sure to bring a few bottles of that liquor. Please.”
Did the holy kingdom set foot in the realm of the dwarves and elves? Or, did Helen just have all kinds of information because of her high position?
Usually, in the case of organizations related to faith, they operate without being bound by national borders. I know very well. In addition, if the gods actually gave blessings like in this fantasy world, the status and influence of the Holy Kingdom would certainly be quite high.
But if you think about it that way, a few questions arise. Why Seongguk?
Dwarves and elves will serve their gods directly. The god of the earth, the world tree, and such gods.
Even so, is there any reason to keep in touch with the Seongguk or contact the people of the Seongguk?
… I just had a question about it out of the blue. Since my forged identity is ‘from a certain noble family in the Holy Land’, I have no chance to ask others.
No, you can ask Helen. Helen must have known all about me. She knew that I was not from this world, and she knew all about my abilities.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to look at you so closely. Whooping… “
Ah. Helen turns her head away from me and laughs out loud. The distance between her and her grows a little further, and her conversation comes to an end.
Some of my older sisters shake their heads as if they think I’ve looked at her Helen’s body, or shrug her shoulders to signal that they can’t dry it.
Of course, when I look at the clothes that reveal the lines of Helen’s body, I feel a strange sexiness without knowing it and look at it. That’s true.
But now is not the time to pay attention to her breasts or her ass or any of that sexual stuff. A serious thought popped into her head…
“… My brother is also really great.”
… I was having serious thoughts. Eva, who was riding the broom with her clinging tightly to my back, clicked her tongue and avoided her gaze.
Sitting in front of me, it seems that he has felt the ‘extremely natural exercise of male genitalia’. That universal exercise, which is normally quiet, but becomes quite large when stimulated by her…
I’m really grateful for reminding me of the menstrual process that I didn’t know about, but it’s really not a good idea to hear this from a girl, or even from a younger sister. This has to be an excuse.
“This, this is not because of Helen! Originally, men unknowingly, uh, sometimes… “
“Ah, okay, stop moving! It shakes!”
I’m crazy It must have gotten really weird.
I’ve been doing this before, but it’s really going crazy. I certainly wasn’t this kind of person, and I didn’t even reveal anything erotic…
“Both of you, stay still! It’s okay to talk, but I’ve clearly said that shaking your body on a broomstick is dangerous… “
“That, that’s not it, my brother… Stand it up, from behind, just feel it… “
No, and do I really need to tell Chi-Chi about that? There are times when Eva really wants to fuck her. Of course, if I fight, I will lose…
“What? And… Delrin, you really… “
Chichi also notices my period and grabs the back of my neck. It looks very absurd.
But the absurdity is the same for me, so I have a lot of excuses. Seriously, this hadn’t happened before I was brought here.
Isn’t it because of these people that this happened in the first place? Every day, I touch it often, touch it often…
“Let’s all stop. Isn’t Delrin uncomfortable? Eva, you should stop too.”
“No, even if you stop sleeping, it’s kind of weird to do that after biting and washing all day long!”
“It’s because our Seobangnim is so selfless, everyone calm down! Well, if you listen to the stories of other men, they don’t pay attention to you and say that you have to pay attention to this and that to build it up. On the contrary, it’s good that Seobo-nim is hot… “
“Damn it. It’s good ass. It’s good if you don’t get into an accident while going out.”
If everyone adds a word or two, the whole party becomes very noisy. As the number of heads increases, this problem seems to arise.
It would have been a pretty good situation, except for the fact that the topic of conversation was my erection, but it turned out to be a pity. Really.
“Wait, what do you see in front of you?”
As soon as the words are finished, all conversations stop at once. Rico, who has been talking gruntly, informs everyone of the ‘new news’ with a voice that has become serious.
“There are about 20 people, and they put up something like a round tent, and… “
Something that the Dark Elves encounter for the first time in the desert. We guessed something in our own way and waited for Rico’s next comment.
“… “
Of course, it’s most likely the Dark Elves. But the important thing is what kind of beings the Dark Elves are.
Like the elves I’ve met before, will I be a crazy long-lived servant who takes in boys and raises them like babies while feeding them, or will I be a rational being in my own way?
“They are watching us.”
Rico pulls out one of her daggers, squinting her eyes to see further. It seems that she is preparing for an attack in advance because she is afraid that an attack will follow.
Chichi carefully lowers the broomstick that Eva and I are riding on, Neva tightens her gloves once more, and Kaede raises her arm and greets her on the other side.
“Hello everyone!”
“What are you doing, you crazy… 빡대가리 새끼야!”
“Eh? Didn’t you say you were looking this way?”
“But why are you shaking your hand?”
“Shouldn’t there be fewer misunderstandings if we say hello first?”
It’s very common sense, but it can’t be the kind of manners that don’t fit well in this fantasy world. You don’t know how the other person will come out, but you shouldn’t provoke them first.
“Is this kid a real adventurer? Really?”
“I’m a little suspicious too, but anyway, take a good look at the trend there. If anything comes flying, I’ll be ready to retaliate right away.”
It’s a tense moment. There is not much information, so no one knows how they will come out.
“… Are they saying hello too?”
“Huh?”
“What?”
For a moment, Chichi and Neva, who were very nervous, doubted their ears. Looking at the atmosphere, it was a moment where it would not be strange if a fight broke out right away.
“Ahaha! Nice person… No, they seem to be good elves! As expected, when you meet for the first time, it’s right to say hello! Learn well, everyone!”
“It’s okay to say hello, but… We are not traveling or traveling, but we are carrying out an important mission. You must move while excluding threats as much as possible. Please be careful next time… “
“Neva, don’t be too stiff and wave your hand first! Ego!”
… The first meeting with the Dark Elves ended more futile than expected.
They lined up in a row and waved their hands as if to welcome us,
Without knowing why, we cautiously approached and arrived at the small shelter of the Dark Elves.
A place where Dark Elves diligently roam the desert take a rest. A place where cozy yet simple resting places are lined up around a small oasis.
“It’s been almost 10 years since humans came this far.”
The Dark Elves were surprisingly quiet. Unlike the elves, the dark elves did not seem to have such an uncivilized culture of kidnapping and petting human men.
“By the way, if you walk through the desert dressed like that, you won’t be able to go halfway and you’ll collapse. Let me rest for a while I’ll see if there are any clothes left.”
“Oh, you don’t need that. I dealt with everything with magic.”
“This desert doesn’t play with magic. Magic may cool off a few drops of sweat, but if you don’t avoid the sun properly, it will burn your soul first.”
They weren’t surprised to see us, and they didn’t even look at us in wonder. They were just trying to help us by looking at what they could give.
“So, what is the reason for crossing the desert?”
However, they spoke to us with short questions.
“I’m going to go to Mudriel.”
When Neva answers, another moment of silence follows, followed by a question…
“Why go to Mudriel?”
“Isn’t a whale coming near Mudriel? I intend to ride on that whale.”
“Are you talking about Job?”
“Ah, that’s right!”
Once Kaede has answered that question, another question will be added this time…
“Why are you riding on Job?”
“Hey, do we really have to talk? Are you talking to each other for a second?”
When Rico cuts off the question, she nods her head for a moment, then she speaks again.
“I am just curious. Why do you want to cross the desert?”
“You said that earlier.”
“That’s not it. We are now asking why we are trying to cross the desert. Why do you want to cross Crossing this desert, what are you guys going to do?”
“What are you talking about, you bastard?”
Rico showed frustration at the repeated question and withdrew, and the Dark Elves spoke to the remaining people as if they were looking for a clear answer.
“Why are you crossing?”
“Uh, yes… ? I’m just following along… “
Ask Eva, ask Chi Chi,
She asked, staring straight at me.
“When crossing the desert, you need a brightly shining goal. If you want to walk under the scorching sun, you must have your own sun inside your heart. Otherwise, forget who you are and what you are here for. It all melts in the sun.”
The dark elf said with a mischievous face. With a face darker than Riko’s, she looked at me.
“Boy, why did you come all the way to this desert with such a weak body?”
Even though I listened to the repeated questions, I couldn’t come up with an answer that would satisfy the Dark Elves.
All I could say was a bit of honesty from my bewildered head.
“I want to run away too.”
The Dark Elf pondered the word ‘run away’ for a long time before finally ending the question with a nod of his head.
“That’s for a strange reason.”
“What the fuck? Then why did you ask us?”
Are you satisfied with the answer? Or did he quit because he couldn’t get the answer he wanted even after asking more questions?
The Dark Elves stopped asking us questions. They just accepted our burdens and helped us as if it were natural.
