Episode 785: Stolen Heirloom (7)
Leaving the butcherâs shop, where all the hands have turned mute, Aira sat in the field and pulled out small pieces of meat with her fingers.
Unpleasant moistness.
The subtle persistence made me wonder if it was really okay to eat this.
Ira, who quickly put the meat in her mouth and chewed it, shook her head.
âItâs not worth eating at all.â
People who eat well like this felt strange.
She then shredded the meat and brought it back to her mouth.
Jilggung-
The feeling of touch in the mouth is unpleasant.
The strange fishy smell that wrapped around his tongue frowned.
Still, I didnât stop eating.
There was no taste.
The smell is terrible and even the texture is sticky, so it doesnât feel like food.
But there was a strange feeling.
something I havenât been able to do before.
no.
Being an elf, I didnât take it for granted.
I felt strangely immoral about doing it proudly.
âI might not be a proper elf than I thought.â
This time, he gulped down a drink made by the dwarves.
As expected of a drink made by noisy tribes, the noise, which did not even feel the static mood, danced like crazy with the fishy smell of meat.
The mouth is a mess as if a war had already broken out.
The stickiness multiplied, and the urge to vomit it right away surged up.
âKaaaâ¦â
A sound that only savages would make leaked out of my mouth inadvertently.
That moment.
A subtle taste and aroma that is difficult to describe in words came at the same time.
mental turbulent feeling.
But it was never unpleasant.
Is it because of my mood?
The laughter of various races coming from afar stopped bothering me at some point.
As if possessed by something, he chewed the meat and left an aftertaste with alcohol.
By the time I repeated it a couple of times, the discomfort was gone and there was a small sense of fulfillment.
Pleasant grass that tickles the skin.
Just in time, it started to get dark and the sky was dyed with fire.
I drink again while watching the flowing clouds.
Beep-beep-!
perhaps.
The Goblin Queenâs words that you have to be able to see the darkness in order to cut it out may have been what she wanted to convey to her that she couldnât get rid of the darkness unless she knew what it was.
âDarkness I think.â
There was only one answer.
revenge.
Certainly these are dark feelings.
There is neither a sense of integrity nor a sense of duty to the extent of attracting others and forcing them to make sacrifices.
But is this vengeance really a wrong feeling?
I thought it wasnât like that.
Even now, that thought persists.
I want to take revenge on those who took away my precious ones.
At that point, I understood the meaning of what the Goblin Queen said.
she said
I mean, donât confuse the road.
âYou talk round and round.â
Ira brushed her windblown hair and brought the drink back to her mouth.

The next day.
All of those who could be called the head of the principality, including the security committee, were suddenly summoned.
Of course, Ray was no exception.
At the call of the Goblin Queen, they gathered in the Great Hall from the morning and looked at her standing on the podium.
Heol-yeong, who has an impatient personality, asked first.
âWhatâs going on? Did the Black Room even invade?â
Even after saying it himself, he seemed nervous as if he thought there was a possibility.
The queen shook her head.
âno.â
âThen what is the fuss about?â
âThe Elves are hoping to participate as troops for this principality.â
âhuh?â
âAre you an elf?â
ââ¦are you sure?â
âI heard it directly from the high elves, so thatâs certain.â
Participation of the elves in the war.
Also, the fact that a village led by a high elf was involved in a war had a significant impact.
He didnât know if other elves would join him.
Responding to the word high elf, Ray shook his head.
âHe must be seeking revenge.â
âI think it probably is.â
âHave you thought about it?â
âFirst of all, I have said that the troops will be received, but the command authority will be maintained by the principality.â
coping was good
Soonbok, who had been called Daejeon for the first time in a while, said with a yawn.
-You mean you summoned me just enough to move a few elves?
âIt is not something to be taken lightly. Perhaps it could turn the tide of war.â
-Thatâs funny. I can deal with people like that on my own.
âWar is not just armed conflict.â
Soonbok, who had listened to the Goblin Queenâs words with one ear and let them go with the other, tapped the table.
â So what do you want to say?
At those words, the Goblin Queenâs eyes turned to Rey.
âI heard that you accepted some conditions in exchange for relocating the elves.â
âIt did.â
âThe high elves are looking for a place to live. They were hoping for a land that was wide, lush, and out of reach of other races, which, to put it simply, did not match the principality.â
âWhere do you get that kind of land? Are you sane?â Leaving her deep-seated glare, Ray replied as if she had thoughts.
âIf thatâs the case, you donât have to worry.â
âWhat do you mean.â
âSoonbok.â
â Speak.
Soon-bok, who had been listening to the story with a rather perverse attitude until just a moment ago, changed into an obedient dog as if he had never done that before.
âYou know what I said before? You will have to suffer a little.â
-Did you say that before?
âAmong my acquaintances, there is a guy with wide feet in the construction industry, right? Call me back today.â
-Itâs good to call, but if you want a non-contracted spirit to work, you need a corresponding price.
âcost?â
-That friend is a high-ranking spirit, so for example, a piece of dragon scale or the heart of a wyvern leader.
The surroundings were astonished to see Soonbok talking indifferently.
âDragon scales?â
âHeart of the Wyvern leader in charge of the species! Where the hell do you get something like that!â
-It is to summon a higher level spirit. Of course, if you donât dedicate that much, you wonât be able to move.
Despite So-yeongâs cry of nonsense, Soon-bok only snorted.
After thinking for a moment, Ray asked.
âSunbok, are you tall? Or is the Wyvern leader high?â
-Are you kidding me? Being compared to that lizard is a shame to me.
âHoo. You mean that?â
Ray got up from his seat.
Soonbok flinched at the sight of his ominous appearance.
â Why do you do that?
At that, Ray took out a sword from his waist and smiled.
âThen canât you compromise with roughly four fingers?â
â Donât do this.
âHeh heh. donât worry too much I know this because Iâve done it a couple of times.â
Soonbok swallowed in vain at the laughter that seemed to have pulled out the flesh of the evil spirit who came back alive from hell.
â Then, why donât you make a contract with that spirit too!
âIs that a price or something?â
-yes? Thatâs right.
âWhat are you asking for obvious things?â Seeing those innocent eyes, Ray shook his head.
âBe patient. It will sting.â
Subok screamed as he pulled his finger.
â Itâs enough just to give away a little mana!
âItâs fine.â
Rey, who held her sword, looked at the Goblin Queen.
âThe residence issue will probably be resolved within a few days.â
âThen no problem. I will accept the elven troops.â
The Goblin Queen agreed.
The emergency summons issued to the top leaders in the morning was over in less than twenty minutes, despite its name.

Ray started looking for a site with Soonbok and the receptionist.
Itâs too narrow here.
Itâs difficult because there is no water here.
After searching 10 places, if all conditions were satisfied at least one place, it was difficult because Young Ji-min was already occupied.
â No matter how barren it is, how can the topography be like this?
Unable to bear it, Subok said a word.
Occasionally, sheer cliffs block the road, and green forests are sparsely visible, like beans sprouting in a drought.
Hongyoung said quietly.
âIf youâve decided to summon a spirit, wouldnât it matter anywhere?â
ââ¦â
At that, Rayâs steps stopped.
Come to think of it, yes.
Why was he looking for a comfortable working environment for that spirit?
It should be called around the waterâs edge and remodeled to suit your taste.
Ray looked at the uniform.
âIs it okay?â
-I do not know. Changing the terrain costs a lot of mana. Wouldnât it be too much for an older brother?
At his words, Ray made up his mind.
He had never felt a shortage of mana since he created the mana rod.
If it was impossible, I didnât know, but if mana was a problem, it worked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLetâs do it here.â
âyes?â
-Is that true?
Not a forest, just three trees.
Even the water stream flowing down from the mountain was embarrassing to call it a stream.
Ray said while making a magic circle to summon the spirits.
âEverything is there. There are no territories, the land is wide and there are streams and forests.â
ââ¦â
With that said, there is nothing else to say.
It was because he was right about what he said.
The dumbfounded Soonbok came to him.
â No, how can you say that there is everything you need after seeing this? see Even the young ants are abandoning their burrows and migrating.
Where he pointed his finger, ants were indeed planning a large-scale migration.
However, to Ray, who had already started listening to only the words he wanted to hear, it was nothing to say.
âItâs nice that the bugs are gone too.â
âI guess so.â
Even the receptionists, who have nothing to say as Hong-yeong is arguing from the side, are the same.
Regardless of what Soonbok said, after completing the magic circle, Ray continued to inject mana into it.
Whoa-!
The magic circle that had resonated loudly emitted a bright light.
Hard-!
The ground shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
Soon, a higher-ranking spirit showed off its presence.
The dust rose thickly as if it were about to reach the sky.
â Hoo. Itâs the first time Iâve ever seen a middle-earth with such weak power. Who called Jim?
The receptionist was nervous at the voice containing heavy mana.
Let the dust settle gradually.
There, an alluring beauty was gently sitting on a rock.
