Resurrected Immortal 514

Chapter 514 – 514. The Cave Dwarf (3)

Inside the throne room.
The chilly atmosphere was instantly relieved.
The only one who noticed Lily’s true identity was Regina, who fortunately had a sense sensitive to the flow of her magical power.
The elven guards who were escorting her were taken aback as to why Regina was trying to be hostile to Lily, who had accompanied her Eunhyeon.

“… Every. Please go outside.”

Regina immediately attacked all the guards in the audience room.

“Queen? But…”

“Please.”

“… All right.”

However, Regina’s attitude of not giving up her decision with her hard face made the Elven Guard’s leader elf reluctantly nod her head.
He had no doubts about the importance of the story he had to share with Eun-hyeon, the benefactor of the elves.

“Whoa…”

With only three people remaining in the large audience room, the chilly atmosphere was relieved at once with Regina’s sigh.

“Details… Will you explain?”

“Of course.”

Eunhyun smiled bitterly as she accepted Regina’s gaze, who was staring at her with a strange expression.
Even when she showed Elvin, an artificial spirit completely different from normal spirits, she had a very embarrassed expression on Regina’s face, but her expression now is a little different from then.

‘It’s just like when Belldandi-sama sometimes looks at me pathetically.’

If the goddess Eun-hyun, who is not here now, had heard that, she would have immediately pulled her hair and she would have glanced at him.
If I had to explain it in detail, it would be more correct to say that Regina’s feelings for her Eunhyeon are pitiful, rather than that she is stunned because she can’t express how she feels about this absurd situation.
With that feeling, Regina calmly talked about her Eunhyun.
It all started when she met Lily.
Because of her gambling father’s brutality, her family was quickly shattered, and she and her mother were sold into slavery.
After she was sold to a warlock while living a life of slavery, she accepted the magic of a succubus through various biological experiments and became neither human nor demon, but half-human, half-demon (half-human, half-demon) I heard the story of Lily. Regina’s expression darkened in an instant.

“Really… It must have been difficult.”

Regina’s feelings as she looked at Lily were short-lived, but there was a lot of emotion in that little murmur.
As soon as she recognized her race, various emotions rushed into Regina’s mind: sorry, ashamed, and sorry for her attempting to be hostile.
And she starts to have a relationship with Eun-hyeon, and the ‘half-human’ part accepts Eun-hyeon’s divine power, and while she is a demon, she is able to have a clean energy that is not polluted. It became.

“… I see.”

Seeing such a demon for the first time, Regina still couldn’t control her embarrassment, but when she saw Lily now, she was able to confirm that she was not a demon that was a danger to the elves.
Above all, even if she was regarded as her enemy, she would have been the first to block Lily’s approach because she was protecting the entire realm more than herself.
The world tree is a demon, but Eun-hyeon’s companion, Lily, was judged not to be a dangerous person.
After hearing her circumstances, Regina agreed to accept Lily into the forest.

“Did you say Lily?”

“… Yes.”

“I apologize for my act of showing hostility as soon as I discovered your true identity.”

“Oh, no.”

Lily was a bit taken aback.
Even though Eun-hyeon was by her side, Lily was also prepared for the fact that she might show hostility when she sees herself half of the devil’s blood mixed in.
Lily waved her hand in a panic at her undeserved treatment of an existence that was no different from the king of a country by her own standard, bowing her head obediently and admitting and apologizing for her own fault.

“And welcome. As the Queen of the Elves, the World Tree and I have decided to accept you, even if you are a demon.”

“Ah…”

Lily shuddered slightly.
Lily knew very well what a decision it was to accept herself as half-demon, even though she was half-human.
This is not accepted purely because she is Eun-hyeon’s wife.
It also meant respect for her Lily, who had successfully overcome the hardships placed in front of her and now stands in this position.
Lily bowed her head, clasping the hand of the Elf Queen, who had reached out to her, with both of her hands.

“Thank you.”

Receiving Lily’s greeting with the utmost respect that can be expressed, Regina smiled slightly.
Now she felt proud and happy that Lily, who had just lived a short life of more than 20 years, had gone through such a difficult experience and was now living happily with a good person.
After greeting her Lily, Regina moved her gaze back to Eun-hyeon and continued her story.

“And teacher? Surely you didn’t visit the forest to introduce your third wife?”

“That’s right.”

As soon as her general misunderstandings about Lily were cleared up and Lily’s visit was formally acknowledged, Regina went straight to the point.

“Soon another war will break out on the continent.”

“War…”

At Eun-hyeon’s introduction to her introduction, Regina recognized the seriousness of her situation and immediately hardened her face to change her mood.
Eun-hyeon’s expression of designating the entire continent as the scope, rather than a war between groups or between countries, made Regina nervous as well.

“The dark magic that appeared in the previous battle with the Dark Elves. Remember?”

“… I know. How can I forget the curse.”

As the head of the Dark Elves took out his heart and offered it to him, he placed a powerful curse on the entire forest, and the curse cost the lives of many of his fellow Dark Elves, recalling the time when the Death Knight was summoned. Regina frowned.
Not only that, but the corpses of the sacrificed Dark Elves turned into ghouls and fought a tough battle.

“If it weren’t for the teachers and their wives… We probably had to make a lot of sacrifices.”

The reason why Regina and the Elven Guard side were able to win with zero damage was Eunhyun who single-handedly defeated the Death Knight, Illyana who resurrected the World Tree, and Eleanor who supported the Elven Guard elf warriors with divine power. .
Recalling that time, Regina realized why Eunhyeon was referring to the fight at that time.

“Teacher. No way…”

“… That’s right. The one who handles the source of that curse is rampaging on the continent right now.”

“…”

Regina lost her words and faced her face with Eun-hyeon.
Regina was well aware of the dangers of her ability to manipulate the dead.
As time passes, the army of the dead, who do not need sleep or food and do not feel pain, will gradually increase in size and grow out of control.

“Even now… How to hit them by moving is impossible?”

“It’s too much. If that was possible, I would not have stayed still until things got to this point.”

Eun-hyeon clenched his fists tightly and made a face of resentment as he obediently acknowledged his limitations.
If a single individual could sense the danger of the entire continent in advance and take action, wouldn’t that be possible only for a god-like being?

“All I can do is watch at least one country somehow.”

It is not easy for ordinary people.
A system for that is just beginning to be created.
The work of governing the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Pernias by rapidly spreading the news of the fall of the Kingdom of Rendir and instilling awareness of the approaching external threat has just begun.
Even if he somehow prepares by strengthening his military power, this is the limit with the help of Eun-hyeon and the people around him who help him.

“One country cannot do it. That’s why I came to you Regina.”

“…”

“I know very well about the policies and rules of the elves. But… The story is a little different this time.”

It does not end with the destruction of a country, but a devastating ending awaits in which all life on this earth plays into the hands of the dead.

“Please, when the decisive battle comes, won’t you lend me your strength?”

Regina, who was immersed in her thoughts while keeping her silence, lifted her head at Eun-hyeon’s request and met her gaze with him.

“Teacher.”

“… Okay.”

Eunhyun answered while looking at Regina calling her in a low, grave voice.

“Why did you think I would decline?”

“That…”

This is because he knows very well the rules of the elves, who do not go out of the forest and have a closed tendency by blocking all interactions with humans.
Elves and Elf Queens fight with swords and bows only in direct crises of the race and world tree, and do not intervene in human affairs at all.
It’s a cold story, but from the point of view of the elves, no matter how many humans die, it’s not a matter of much concern.

“This is something we cannot overlook. If Sensei and the humans are defeated and this continent turns into darkness, it might be us elves and the world tree next.”

“…”

Regina quietly got up from her queen’s seat and she approached Eun-hyeon.
She reached out both of her hands and grabbed Eun-hyeon’s left hand, then crossed her hands and carefully wrapped her Eun-hyeon’s hand.

“The Elves and I have not forgotten how many times this hand, Sensei’s efforts, saved us.”

Even in the fight against the Dark Elves 400 years ago, in the rematch with them last year, and even in the most recent battle with the Ancient Witchbeast, if Eun-hyeon wasn’t there, the Elves would perish right away.

“An elf will not forsake the request of a teacher who owes a favor that he has to repay throughout his life. Please give us a chance to repay the favor in your fight.”

The will of the Elf Queen, who represents the forest race, is the same as the will of the entire Elf race.
That firm determination filled Eunhyeon’s heart and warmth spread out.

“… Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Regina smiled and responded to her Eunhyun’s thanks.
She belatedly begins to realize that the little elf, once taught by her own self, has risen to the throne as the queen representing the will of her entire race.

“And I have one more request.”

“What is it?”

“Abode of dwarves. Do you know yet?”

“Ah.”

Regina immediately noticed who she was talking about and gave a small smile.

“Sure. Exchanges are still going on.”

“Oran… Would he be dead?”

“Yes.”

“I see.”

Eunhyun nodded slightly and recalled the past.

“I heard that now his grandson is leading the tribe for generations.”

“Grandson…”

Eunhyeon smiled at the fact that the grandson of the dwarf who had taught her metallurgy had now become the chieftain of a tribe.
At times like this, he too had no choice but to feel the passage of time.
He always stays with himself and the experience of leaving someone fills him with a feeling of loneliness that he cannot get used to.
Perhaps he will not be the few of whom he remembers himself, even if now he goes to visit the dwarves.

“I want you to write one letter of introduction to show them. I would like to get their help if possible.”

This is Eun-hyeon’s second business to visit Regina.
He sought the cooperation of the elves in preparation for the forthcoming war, and at the same time asked for the role of a bridge that could mediate between himself and the dwarves.

“It won’t be easy, but you must have a plan, too.”

Regina nodded her head as if it wasn’t difficult.
But that didn’t mean that I would write her a letter of introduction right away.

“There are conditions instead.”

“Condition?”

“Yes. There is someone I want you to share a story with.”

“… Stories?”

To say that Regina is such a respectful being, who on earth is she referring to?
Eunhyeon quietly waited for Regina’s reaction with a puzzled expression on her face.

“You know the teacher well.”

Regina laughed at her mischief and roused her magic, and she summoned herself and her pacted spirits.
