Chapter 142 – Information

After eating pork belly, I felt that the boundaries about me were loosened even more.
And I was able to know a lot about them.
The fact that elves are only female.
It was a truly desirable race.
Is that why the humans are freaking out….
It seemed that they would live for about a thousand years and be born from the tree of life.
No one knows the location of the tree of life.
Even elves.
The elf says that when she leaves the place, her memories of the place gradually fade. She said she only has vague memories of being born there.
It was a common sense question in this world, so the way they looked at me strangely changed.
“I think it will arrive tomorrow.”
Priscilla said with a grin.
Unfortunately, his company with them was at an end.
I prepared for the last camp with them.
“It seems like you’ve been receiving too much, but this time we’ll treat you.”
The fire created by Luna’s hand moved to the firewood.
Looking at her magic pattern, she seemed to be similar to me… And also to Merlin.
She thought it was good timing and asked her.
“Were you a wizard?”
“Luna is a magic swordsman.”
Isla said proudly.
She asked Luna, but she didn’t know why she was so proud of herself… Seeing her say that, it wouldn’t be common for her to be a magic swordsman.
Even if you think about it with common sense, it’s natural that you have to do both well.
Priscilla was an Elementalist.
Ayla was similar to the flow of magical energy of the strengthened Awakeners of the original world.
“You?”
“That’s just a ranger….”
Ayla’s voice creeps in as if she’s a little embarrassed by my question. The figure of her bowed and wearing a dagger was a roughly expected answer.
“Ayla is an Auror Expert.”
Luna hugs her friend, who looks a little less confident.
If it’s an Aura Expert, she’s probably capable of handling sword skills.
Luna who can wield both sword and magic.
She is a Priscilla capable of rare elemental magic.
Although she is average compared to the two, she is a strong person just because she can express magical powers honestly.
She asked Priscilla if she couldn’t get a spell book or a book about elementalism, she said. Only elves can learn magic or elementalism. And she said she couldn’t give it to an outsider.
Taking into account my love for meat, Luna, who had caught a small wild boar, said with a serious face.
“I am human.”
“Human!?”
Ayla jumped up, her face contorted.
“Looks like a slave hunter.”
Tension flows between the elves.
Then, he glances at me.
Why are you looking at me….
“What are you going to do?”
“Kill!!”
When I asked, Ayla suddenly went into savage mode.
She ignored it and looked at Priscilla and Luna.
Unlike Ayla, they were calm, but their eyes were a little heavy.
“Woon-ho, I’m sorry. I guess I’ll have to deal with them.”
Priscilla’s words were more rational than Ayla’s, but it was no different that she killed them in the end.
“Is there a wizard among them?”
She asked Luna.
“Yes.”
“Can I follow you?”
“That, that….”
“I won’t interfere, so instead, I’d like you to save the wizard for a while. I have something to see.”
“……..I see.”
In the meantime, she was good at raising her liking with food.
I thought that if I was a magician, I would be well-informed, and I was a human who met the purpose for which I came to this world.
She moved with them to the place where the slave hunters were.
The distance was about 10 minutes.
10 minutes is the speed of an elf. For an ordinary human, it would take an hour in this forest.
In the clearing, slave hunters were setting up tents and preparing for camp.
There seemed to be about fifteen people.
(How do you know they are slave hunters?)
(Because there is only one reason to come here with such an army.)
(…….)
You’re here, so you’re a slave hunter?
Are you saying there’s no reason to be here unless you’re a slave hunter?
I decided to watch quietly without helping.
It’s because they didn’t ask me for help and didn’t seem to need help.
The attack started with Ayla.
She quietly hid in a branch and fired an arrow.
An arrow went through the head of her man in light leather armor.
“Attack!!”
“It’s an elf!!”
He immediately recognizes how an elf is.
It was also said that there was no one other than elves in this forest capable of such an attack.
Even so, it seems that it has been trained, so it quickly forms a square.
Ayla’s fireball hit them.
“Shield.”
The magician’s staff in the middle glowed and created a transparent barrier in front.
-Bang!
A fireball was blocked by the shield.
Following her, Luna drew her rapier and sprinted away.
“Coming!”
A mercenary swordsman wearing luxurious armor raised a faint aura and blocked Luna.
-Visor. Visor.
Sparks flew every time Luna and her mercenaries exchanged sword strikes.
It was an interesting sight.
‘Did he mix the lightning attribute with the sword?’
The faces of the men who shared sword strikes with each other were distorted.
The electric shock made her man’s body visibly dull.
“This, this year’s magic swordsman!!”
Leaving an urgent will, in an instant, Luna’s rapier cut off her arm and pierced her throat, killing her in vain.
“Luke-sama!!”
Then a beautiful woman made of water flew from the forest.
“Hey, Spirit!!”
The slave hunters’ faces turned pale.
The water spirit sweeps through them.
“Uh?”
They were drenched in water by the spirits and were bewildered when there was nothing wrong with them.
– Damn it.
But soon their legs froze.
Isla grabs her dagger and dances between them mercilessly.
Her merciless dagger swept swiftly through their throats.
Ayla’s eyes were shining fiercely like when we first met.
The slave hunters were quickly cleaned up by just three elves.
Aren’t they among the strongest among the elves?
Ayla must have forgotten what I said, and she even tried to beat the wizard.
I grabbed her wrist to prevent the wizard from dying.
She stares at me
“Wake.”
“Hoo-wook! Whoop!”
She let out her rough breath and relaxed her arms at my words.
The wizard, who was on the verge of life and death, was terrified and was breaking out in a cold sweat.
The wizard was an ordinary man in his thirties with long brown hair.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“…What, what….”
He looks up at me with a white face.
“Do you know about the Abyss Erosion Labyrinth?”
“Uh, the Abyss erosion labyrinth… You mean?”
A bewildered expression as if it were the first time he had heard it.
Didn’t seem to know
Then there was nothing to see.
He glanced at Ayla. She raised her dagger with her cold eyes.
“Ah, I know!!”
The sorcerer hurriedly shouted.
“You know?”
“Yes, yes…That….”
It seemed like he knew what he wanted to say.
“If you know, I will save you.”
At my words, Ayla’s eyes became grim. She thought she was about to explode.
“Do not worry.”
Ayla hears my telepathy, is startled, and inserts the dagger.
The wizard rolled his eyes for a moment and then began to speak.
10 years ago.
A dungeon was discovered in a city called Slumber.
The dungeon was so big that I couldn’t see the end. And the monsters were ferocious and strong enough to be incomparable to the outside world.
However, if you defeat the monsters in that dungeon, magic stones will come out.
The magic stone, which was only mined in small amounts in rare magic stone mines, can be obtained by catching monsters.
The lord of the city cheered.
Originally, the lord intended to eat alone, but there were too many monsters in the dungeon, and instead of eating alone, it was about to overflow.
With tears in his eyes, the lord opened the dungeon to mercenaries and adventurers.
That’s how the slumber became a land of opportunity for mercenaries and adventurers.
It was a natural result as not only byproducts from catching monsters but also magic stones came out.
Numerous mercenaries and adventurers flocked to the city.
Currently, that dungeon is the entrance to the Demon Realm.
Or it is called the Slumber Labyrinth.
I don’t know if the place this wizard is talking about is an Abyss erosion labyrinth or not, but now, without any clues, it was like rain in a drought.
It was quite credible that it was a magic stone that came from a monster.
I had to gather more information in the city, but it was worth going if no special clues came out.
“As promised, I’ll let you live. Go.”
“Go, thank you.”
The guy is trying to take care of the bag that was his belongings.
“Who told you to take care of that?”
“That, that….”
When I glared at him, he was holding his bag hesitantly with an expression dripping with regret.
The reason he makes that expression is that what’s inside is a good thing.
So I couldn’t carry it any further.
“Looks like you can afford to carry it. Wouldn’t it be easier to move without arms?”
“Hee!!”
At my words, he tossed his bag and quickly disappeared into the forest.
When he couldn’t be seen, he said to Ayla.
“I saw all my business.”
At my words, Ayla’s body quietly disappeared into the forest where the wizard disappeared.
