CH 117

. Moonlight Festival (2)

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Sylvia took a deep breath and looked like she was about to die.

yea that's the way it is

The road on the right that Jinhyuk guided was so rough that even the elves did not go.

A rough road that is known to be virtually blocked.

However, Jinhyeok dug through the cracks in the rocks and traversed through the bushes, running through the village at a really crazy speed.

Jinhyuk, who had arrived a long time ago and was doing physical gymnastics, looked at Sylvia, who followed later.

I'll go this way from now on. It's much faster.

I'm not really good at telling you this.

Time is precious, so I'm giving you a special shortcut.

At Jinhyuk's words, Sylvia gave off a look of surprise.

Yeah, that must be quick!

How can you be slow to come down this crazy road?

Even if you shorten the time, you can shorten it several times.

The only problem is that it is a road that is not strange even if a few people die on the way.

'How on earth could a human being show such a movement?'

Even if there is an advanced ranger who is not in this position, it is impossible to show such dazzling and natural movements.

Besides, don't you know the path so perfectly that even the elves who were born and raised here don't know?

It was hard to believe even looking at it.

This Because it completely broke common sense.

'Wow, it's not like a polymorphic Dragon, is it? Like coming down from the tower to play. So the elf meat Knock-knock.'

That was when Sylvia was drowning in all sorts of delusions.

I wondered if I could hear a very faint rustling sound.

Boo-woong!

Shoo woo!

Something flew away with the sound of the wind splitting.

fast.

Oh?

Sylvia was startled and could not react, but suddenly Jinhyuk was holding a reddish dagger in his hand.

Kaaan!

The bounced arrows spun in the air and hit the floor.

An arrowhead made of white wood and an arrowhead engraved with a colorful pattern.

It must be the elves.

Your attitude towards guests is very bad. Is it because the housewarming party didn't bring any presents?

Jinhyuk shrugged.

Then a number of elves appeared from beyond the forest.

'A lot of people have gathered.'

At first glance, there are more than twenty.

Rangers armed with longbows and daggers completely surrounded Jinhyuk.

"Because it's a guest you mean your guy?"

It was a male elf with long silver hair who spoke coldly.

It has a beautiful appearance that you can only see in movies.

However, what caught Jinhyuk's eyes was the annoying memory of the guy himself, not his appearance.

A high elf, Tethlon, who is the commander of the rangers and is at the same time the highest rank, first rank.

Yes. That's probably the guy's name.

Jinhyuk quickly activated the 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

Name: Tesla

Gender: Male

Age: 926

Level: 30

Strength 18 Dexterity 30 Stamina 21 mana 45 Forest Spirit 40

Occupation: Senior Ranger

Unique ability: 'White hair and 100 heavy weight (百發百中)'

skill: Lv6 'Rapid Fire', Lv6 'Strengthen Spirit', Lv5 'Light Step', Lv5 'Blessing of Wind', Lv4 'Clairvoyance'

[Copy Conditions: Teslon is a first-class Ranger of the proud Elves. I take pride in my bow more than anyone else, so if you want to copy his unique ability, shoot an arrow with a higher accuracy than him at least once.]

shit. That's right.

That guy. It was the same guy who chased after him from the festival to the outskirts of the forest.

Jinhyuk let out a small sigh.

Look at that miserable face. Uncomfortable memories of the past came to mind.

You're trying to follow me to the end of hell for just one wrong performance.

If there was an elf's innate nature, it would be the term referring to this guy.

at that time.

Teslon! Wait, wait!

Sylvia, who was beside her, stepped forward.

Teslon, who was once again demonstrating the bow, stopped.

"You are you sure, aren't you the ranger under Elder Penheim?"

Yes. My name is Sylvia, a third-class ranger.

Tell me. Why are you with humans?

that .

Sylvia muffled her words. A cold breeze passed through Tethlon's eyes.

I will not forgive you, no matter how immature you are, if you say that you are the one who brought this human into our realm.

No. The elder gave permission to invite this person.

What? The elder allowed it?

Tesla's eyebrows curled backwards.

He looks suspiciously as to whether what he heard is true.

It was decided when Teslon-sama went to 'Central Forest'. Here, this is the proof that you will bring him as a guest.

Sylvia took out a fragment made of sapphire from her arms.

It was a relic that only elf elders could possess.

I can't believe it. The elder invited people like that to the festival... and, at least, such an ungrateful bastard.

Teslon muttered in a tone of dissatisfaction, but that was all.

This is because even a first-class high elf could not disobey the elder's orders.

However, Jinhyuk, who was quietly listening to the conversation, scratched his head.

Well.

What?

If you just put up with it once, nothing will happen, but after hearing those words and sitting still, wouldn't it be difficult to sleep 365 days a year?

Hey. I'm sorry that this is a rude person. But can I ask you one thing? Does this noble nobleman shoot arrows at customers with his dignity kicked up to his throat? Or is he not able to think because his brain is also made of dignity?

Jinhyuk exhaled like a rapid-fire cannon.

hey After saying this, my stomach feels cold.

I don't know how other people hold on to the words inside. After saying this, the congestion will go away.

What, what? Did you say that to me now!

I was just talking to myself, do you think I'm getting stabbed when I see you getting angry?

Hey, it looks like you want to die!

Tesla fired an arrow on the protest in an instant.

fast.

It's fast though.

I don't think it's wise to break the elder's orders. Are you really going to try it?

Jinhyuk didn't blink.

No, it was even more provocative.

Even if I shoot it anyway, it won't hit even a single shot, but if you think it'll make you feel better, I'll give it a try.

...you guys. If you believe in one of the elders' invitations, you're making a big mistake now.

You are making a big mistake right now.

because.

Now that there is a shortage of 'swamp figs' for the festival, my only hope is to fill them in time.

There is a reason for this.

A momentary silence flows.

What followed was a huge commotion.

An earthquake struck Tesla's pupil.

Surprisingly, the other elves around were the same.

Hey, how do you do that?

How did you know we didn't have enough swamp figs?

It's absurd. There would be no way outsiders would know...

The murmur grew louder.

you'll be embarrassed

The first human I met knew the insides of the elves in detail.

However, given this level of clues, it was difficult for Jinhyeok to pretend he didn't know.

'Teslon and the rest of the elves must have been walking around the swamp picking figs a while ago.'

Jinhyuk's gaze turned downward.

The elves' shoes were still clogged with dried mud.

Moist mud on a sunny day like this.

Isn't that an advertisement for rolling around hard in the presence of water?

Besides, the 'Central Forest' that Sylvia mentioned is dangerous, but a place where many figs grow.

The fact that even rangers, whose main tasks are reconnaissance and vigilance, were mobilized, is proof that there are not enough figs for the festival.

Your guy knows how to get figs, right?

That's right. As many as you want. I can save you as much as you want. If I put my mind to it.

" "

Teslon pursed his lips as if contemplating something.

But it was only for a short time.

It's dubious, but our insteps are on fire too. In particular, I'll make sure you trust me just this one time.

This is so... .

I must have misunderstood something.

Jinhyuk smirked.

I said I could do it. You didn't even say a word that you would do it?

Where do you get special permission?

I guess I'm still out of my mind, but I came here as a guest.

You're one of those treacherous landlords who treats the guest badly.

Jinhyuk refused with a single blow, and then looked at Sylvia who was next to him.

For now, let's go. After meeting with the elders, we'll talk about how we can help. Of course, except for the cheap elves over there,

Yes? Yes... yes.

Sylvia nodded reflexively.

And passed the elves' encirclement and leisurely headed towards the village.

Of course, Tesla couldn't move a single finger.

He was just grinding his molars as if in anger and glaring at Jinhyuk.

After a while, I saw a village with trees and houses in harmony.

Wait here for a moment. I'll go inside and bring you back.

Sylvia asked Jinhyeok for forgiveness.

Jinhyuk, who was left alone, leisurely admired the surrounding scenery.

The sight of the warm sunlight breaking on the leaves of grass was truly spectacular.

'Big. It's really beautiful.'

How long have you been wanting to come back here?

If I hadn't played the damn Titanic back then, I wouldn't have suffered the humiliation of being deported.

However, you don't have to worry about repeating the same mistake again.

Because I have already saved the related unique abilities in case this happens.

All that's left is to arrange the benefits to be gained from this festival and the order the giyeon wants to come in.

'I will completely erase the black history this time.'

Jinhyuk burned his courage.

How much time has passed?

Rumble!

Finally, the door opened, and an old-looking elf appeared.

It feels completely different from Tesla.

Is this old man really one of the elders?

It was a lot of hard work coming from a long way. My name is Penheim, who is in charge of the village elder.

Pennheim asked for a handshake in the sense of Shadow.

"This is Jinhyuk Kang."

Jinhyuk also briefly introduced himself and held Penheim's hand.

He also did not forget to add the usual greeting.

First of all, thank you for the invitation. Personally, I've always wanted to come here once. The opportunity to come to the beautiful and peaceful village of elves doesn't come very often.

Nothing to say. Sylvia ate Jinhyuk's food and praised it so much. Heh heh. I think we are lucky to have met.

Penheim burst out laughing as if he was in a good mood.

Yori, I'll serve you right away even for dinner tonight.

Um... that's a thank you, but before that, I want to ask you one thing.

Tell me.

I've heard from Sylvia roughly, but they said that you can solve our difficult situation. Is that true?

This is a story about 'swamp figs'.

great.

I've been waiting for this topic to come out.

Of course it's possible.

Not possible.

not possible.

only.

Jinhyuk coughed and brought out the main point.

It's a great price, but actually, I want to learn the archery of the elves, is it possible? If I want to climb the tower in the future, I definitely want to learn the archery that is considered the strongest in the middle range.

It is common knowledge that elves can handle bows well.

Fortunately, Penheim nodded his head as if there was no difficulty.

That's about it, of course. How can I give you Sylvia?

No. I think learning from an elf who shoots arrows well would be embarrassing. If possible, it would be better if it was an opponent with a slightly lower skill. That way, even if it's the first time you learn it, wouldn't it be possible to mimic it to some extent?

Then what kind of elf do you want to learn from? Do you have anyone you want?

There's only one right now.

Jinhyuk pointed his finger at an elf.

Hey, that guy. If it's him, I think it's perfect for my first learning level. Oh! Maybe I can do better.

The face of the elf who had been pointed out was severely distorted.

This is... cheeky.

The captain of the elf ranger. It was Tesla.
