Chapter 202 – 202. Honeymoon (1)
“Are you ready?”
“What is the rough? Anyway, it’s been a long time since I’ve traveled.”
Illyana nodded her head in response to her Eun-hyun’s question.
If it was usual, she would hate going out of the house, but this time, it was also a trip with Eun-Hyeon’s clear purpose, and there was a part where she wanted to feel the feeling of a honeymoon.
“I am also ready.”
Eleanor also nodded her head and said she didn’t mind leaving anytime.
“I wish I could see Alice’s face as well. How do I know where she is?”
One of her colleagues who traveled with her in the past, Alice, an elementalist, heard from Gerard that after the war, she disappeared leaving behind the words that she would go to the bosom of nature.
In response to her words that she left to strengthen her bond with the spirit, Eunhyeon thought of a place she could guess.
Illyana questioned her when she said that she thought it was not a bad idea because she was planning to visit once with Illyana and Eleanor, who had become her wives.
“She’s not sure if Alice is there or she isn’t, but it’s a pity if she can’t be found, but she can’t help it. And that is not the real purpose of this trip.”
“Then what is it?”
“Holy Grave.”
“… Hmm.”
Looking at Eunhyun’s calmly speaking face, Illyana put on a strange expression.
I wonder whose tombstone they are trying to find.
It wasn’t too hard for Illyana to figure out that she was taking herself and her Eleanor along on the trip to the Holy Sepulcher because she wanted to introduce herself and her Eleanor to someone in the tombstone.
“City of the Moon.”
“Moon Village? Where is that?”
“It’s the name of a village in the forest where the remaining elves live on the continent.”
“… Elf?”
At the sudden mention of the name of a legendary race, Illyana slightly furrowed her eyebrows.
“The tribes of the forest that existed in ancient times… You mean?”
“Huh.”
As she was officially married, Eun-hyeon stopped using her respect for her at Eleanor’s request.
Conversely, the reason why Eleanor still treats Eun-hyeon with her respect is because she insisted on not being used to it yet.
Besides, Eun-hyeon doesn’t know that another reason is that the role-playing of ‘master and slave’ through Illyana’s assistant, which took place while handing over her previous wedding ring, is still deeply embedded in her mind.
Even though it was hard to understand the reason for Eleanor’s attitude of not letting go of her words, Eun-hyeon respected Eleanor’s will.
“… Was it really real?”
Illyana asked with a doubtful expression.
“I don’t know if it still exists. But…”
Eun-hyeon glanced at her above herself, and as Illyana also moved her gaze along her silver-hyeon, she found the figure of a goddess floating in the air.
[It still exists. I can feel the energy of the ‘World Tree’.]
“World tree? What is that?”
At Verdandy’s affirmation, Illyana questioned her goddess.
At the time of their first meeting, Verdandi and Illyana felt awkward with each other and created a face-to-face atmosphere, but as time passed and they continued to talk except for Eun-hyeon, the awkward relationship gradually improved.
The biggest factor in being able to talk about the transcendent being called God with peace of mind is that Verdandi, who favors Eun-hyeon, put down her own dignity and authority as a god and actively engaged in conversations. Was
Compared to the first time, when Eun-hyun was in the middle, and the awkward atmosphere was like her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law, it was a very positive development.
Moreover, if we dare to specify her relationship with Eunhyeon, Belldandi is a woman who has gone beyond being a goddess and an apostle and has a relationship with Eunhyeon, just like Illyana and Eleanor.
Despite the vast difference between humans and gods, Illyana thought that because there were common elements, they were able to communicate with each other to some extent.
[It is the name of a sacred tree that looks down on the elves’ living grounds and is considered sacred by the elves.]
“Sacred tree…”
When Eleanor heard the word divine tree, she instantly remembered the existence of the ‘Sacred Tree of Fernias’, which is called the ‘Tree of Hope’ in Aether.
After seeing her expression and reading her thoughts, Eun-hyeon supplemented the explanation.
“The case is a bit different with the sacred tree in Aether. That tree is a special tree that creates the environment by absorbing the mighty energy flowing from the remains of a divine beast and creating special high-density mana, but strictly speaking, it is not a tree that has the power of a god. It’s just that the nobles of the Kingdom of Pernias are calling it a divine tree at will.”
“Then… Is that tree called the World Tree really a divine tree?”
“That’s right. It is a real divine tree born with the power of a god from the first time it was born.”
“The existence of such a tree… Why is it not known on the continent?”
“Befitting its name, the Divine Tree is a tree that enriches the land around it and brings peace and well-being just by existing. One of the reasons why the elves, who regard the tree as sacred, have not revealed themselves to humans for hundreds of years and have maintained a closed custom to this day, is to hide the existence of this tree.”
“Ah, that… It’s similar to how our kingdom’s royal family of Pernias is trying to hide the secret about the ‘Tree of Hope’.”
If the mere existence of Aether increases the density of mana in the air, and the fact that it is easily exposed to mana and has the effect of easily awakening magic and increasing the maximum holding amount is revealed, the ‘Tree of Hope’ will be created. It is obvious to speculate that they will come from another country aiming for it.
“That’s right.”
Eunhyun nodded at Eleanor’s appropriate analogy.
“Then… It means that the object you are going to visit is the tombstone of an elf.”
“Huh.”
As for the reason for taking her and Eleanor to the elf’s tombstone and introducing them, she could guess without even asking.
This is Eun-hyeon herself, who is not bound by the past, and is going on a trip to conclude a breakup.
“Okay. Eleanor. Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Understanding Eunhyun’s feelings, Illyana nodded her head and began to carry her luggage in the air using magic.
“Ah… Let’s go?”
“Huh.”
Spotting three people carrying luggage in the living room, Erin put on a sad expression.
“Mask… When are you coming?”
“Well. No matter how short it is, I think it will be about 3 to 6 months.”
“Too long… Can’t I follow you too?”
Not only Eunhyeon, but also Illyana and Eleanor will be away together.
Even on this trip, Eunhyun was planning to take Alvin with him.
She couldn’t complain because she was taking advice from a spiritist who might be at her destination about Elvin’s condition, and to find a way to materialize the spiritual body more stably and for a longer period of time.
It was just very disappointing that everyone left on their own to go on a trip.
“Illyana. Wait outside It will be over soon.”
“Okay. Let’s go. Eleanor.”
“Yes.”
Illyana nodded and took Eleanor out of her labyrinth house.
“Erin. Follow me.”
“Huh…”
As Eunhyeon led the way downstairs to the studio, Erin answered in a dejected voice.
Arriving at the workshop, she took out a high-end gin case among the weapons that Eun-hyeon had made herself and held it out to Erin.
“This…”
A luxurious handle that was carefully designed and a scabbard wrapped around a thin blade.
She recognized her favored weapon, her rapier, and Erin looked at her silver string with her eyes wide open.
“Hyunah, is this…”
“That’s right. You promised before I will give you a gift if you complete 5 consecutive victories in sparring with the knights of Armitas. That gift.”
“Ah…”
Erin cautiously reached out her hand and took her rapier from her eunhyeon.
“It’s light.”
Erin was once again surprised by the extremely light weight of the iron rapier, to the point where her usual wooden sword felt heavy.
“Do you like it?”
“Huh!”
Seeing the girl who held her thin bladed rapier tightly to her chest and responded with a bright smile and energetic response, she couldn’t see the faintness she had felt before.
Rather, as if she had reacted to him, she rushed into Eun-hyeon’s arms, and she hugged him tightly and rubbed her own cheek.
“Thank you! Really like it! Hyuna!”
“A grown girl shouldn’t hug anyone like this anymore.”
Until last year, Erin’s mentality was so precarious that she was a fragile girl who had to take care of each one.
“Are you okay! Lol.”
“Erin. While we’re gone, I’ll give Erin homework.”
“Homework?”
“This time, 10 consecutive wins. Fill it up.”
“1, 10 wins…”
She had struggled so much last time just finishing her 5-game winning streak, but the number of 10 seemed so far away to Erin.
In her early days, Erin was able to win her victory by taking advantage of her carelessness about Erin’s skill, but the Armitas Knights of today never underestimate her Erin.
Rather, the effect of increasing each other’s strength was in full swing between Erin and her knights.
In the recent Dalian, it is difficult to gain the upper hand as much as the early days, and the fierce fight continues.
“Of course, there is no point in just doing it.”
Her far-distant goal had to offer something that would boost her morale just as much as she did.
“If I come back and Erin has a 10-game winning streak, she will grant me one wish.”
“Wish?”
“Huh. Wish.”
“Will you listen to anything?”
“Huh?”
“Whatever it is?”
“… ? Huh.”
“Is there anything else to say later?”
“Oh, yes. What…”
Eun-hyeon was puzzled by Erin’s persistently questioning her moment, but she simply agreed, thinking that there would be nothing special if the little girl’s wish was absurd.
“Good! Okay! I will work really hard!”
Erin nodded her head energetically and left the studio holding the rapier given to her by Eunhyun tightly in her arms.
Until she left, she smiled and let the uncontrollable girl’s expression tell her how happy she was.
[… Aye.]
“Yes?”
[Does the child not know what he is offering as a reward?]
“Ugh. How great is the child’s wish? Seeing that he was so delighted with the weapon, wouldn’t he want a more powerful weapon as a wish?”
[… Ehh.]
“Goddess?”
As her time passed, her goddess sighed at the words of her own child, who did not notice her determination and her girlish heart, which gradually realized her dependence and longing with love.
Eunhyeon just looked at it, puzzled.
‘But… She must not have imagined that she would have such feelings for herself who married two women and became her husband…’
Belldandi pondered for a long time on whether she should tell her child about this.
