Chapter 145 – Ah… My Lord

“Um…”

Allen regained her consciousness. Her body shook violently with a roaring sound that shook her earth. Silver hair drenched in sunlight flutters in the wind. The feeling of being thrown out of nowhere at any moment.

The ground was moving sideways at high speed. Allen opened her eyes wide.

He was tied to a galloping horse.

There was a meadow that I had never seen before.

A place that is not even a forest, let alone a village.

‘Where the hell is this place?’

I couldn’t tell. Allen had never been out of the woods since he was born.

He remembered what had happened just before he lost consciousness.

A weekend without Lee Seon-woo in the village was like a holiday even for Allen and other elves.

Early in the morning, he took Aricia for a walk around the outskirts of town. It was a casual date.

It had only been the other day that Alicia and Lee Seon-woo had gotten together, but Allen didn’t care. Lee Seon-woo’s brainwashing was still in effect. The two were still in love with each other.

A change occurred during a date.

It was an invasion by a group of Dark Elves.

Lee Seon-woo didn’t know it, but as he blended with the spirits, a small loophole was created in the barrier of the elven village.

While Lee Seon-woo was in the other world, the barrier did not function properly.

In addition, the Dark Elves were also aware of the way the elves guarded the village. It was effective to cleverly avoid the watchman elves’ patrol route and aim for shift time.

The abduction happened in an instant. Aricia belatedly followed, but it was not enough. Because she used Allen as her shield, she couldn’t even shoot an arrow.

‘Me… Have you been kidnapped…’

Dark Elves… He had only heard about it, but it was also the first time that he encountered the real thing. It was a story about a hundred years ago that they left the forest. Even that, because he was now tied up in a prone position, he could only see the ground.

Still, ears are open. I could hear their conversation as they rode on horseback.

“Surprised. I couldn’t believe there were still men left in that village. I thought he would have died from the curse long ago, but I got lucky.”
“Maybe this guy is the last man.”
“You can’t manage such a precious man so carelessly. What if people like us get kidnapped? Haha!”

Loud laughter followed. Their temperaments were so different that they wondered if they were elves with the same roots. It was a rough character that seemed to have lived for a long time in the wild. Allen held her breath, and she overheard their conversation.

“Anyway, even the chief doesn’t understand. In this day and age, we still insist on single-minded male elves.”
“You want to have children somehow. It’s not something I can’t understand.”
“No… That said, there is no reason not to take males of other races. You only live once anyway, it would be nice to live it while enjoying it. Do you really need to protect her virginity for over a hundred years?”
“Even as a joke, don’t say such things in front of the Chief. If you don’t want to die.”
“I’m going with the spoils I’ve been longing for, but can’t I? I’m afraid I won’t be able to congratulate you.”

It was not difficult to guess what trophies they were talking about. Allen was able to deduce that they were about to dedicate themselves to their chieftain.

‘What should I do?’

I thought about it, but I couldn’t come up with a sharp number. Allen knows how helpless she is on her own. It is impossible for her to escape from them on her own.

‘I have a cell phone, but… Communication won’t work.’

Communication is possible only when Lee Seon-woo is around or near Rosamia’s house where there is a mini-dimensional door. It is useless to be so alone.

‘Come to think of it, the medicine…’

Allen carefully moved her arm and put her hand in her pocket. Sure enough, there were vitamins from Lee Seon-woo. But it wasn’t a lot. Can she last for a month?

Still, Allen, she can’t live without her reliance on vitamins. Her life is in danger when the medication she is carrying runs out.

“Anyway, it’s a bit disappointing to have to offer it to the chief even though it’s a male elf. Even if it’s just to go somewhere quiet and taste it…”
“If you don’t want to die in my life span, that is.”
“It’s a joke, a joke. Kyahaha! I’m sorry…”
“…”

It seemed that the chieftain was such a great being that even the wild women were afraid. Is it dedicated to such a person? In her mind, Allen imagined a dark elf woman no less rambunctious than Lee Seon-woo. Goosebumps all over her body.

She hasn’t even done it with Aricia yet… I hate that.

Allen cried into her.

‘Arisia… ! Teacher… ! Please come and save me!’

***

Kidnap?

I couldn’t believe my ears at the unexpected words.

Did I hear correctly?

“No, wait a minute. Miss Rosamia. Allen was kidnapped… To whom?”
“That, that… ! It must have been the work of the Dark Elves!”
“Dark elves?”

What? Is there such a coincidence?

I was reading an article about dark elves just a moment ago… How does this connect?

Rosamia’s nervous voice continued.

“Allen’s life is in danger if we don’t rescue him quickly, sir! Please help us!”
“Hmm… For now, I will go right away.”

I hung up. Yu Min-jung was still asleep. After leaving a note saying that I would go first because something urgent happened, I went straight to the Elf Village.

“Teacher!”

Several elves, including Rosamia, were gathered in the plaza. Everyone had an expression of urgency. Alicia in particular had a face that looked like she would cry at any moment.

“Miss Rosamia. Please explain what happened first.”
“Yes, that…”
“I-I will explain… !”

Aricia stepped out. She was directly involved in the incident. While on a date with Allen while walking around the outskirts of town early in the morning, she was ambushed by a number of dark elves, she said. The watchmen came to her belatedly to help her, but Allen was already taken away.

“The barrier doesn’t work when I’m not there… I didn’t know that.”

It was careless. Spirit water… Because the nymph didn’t tell me that far. Should I be more vigilant on days when I am away?

However, it was already spilled water that Allen was kidnapped. There is no point in reinforcing the boundaries now.

Allen… He is also an important talent for me. You can’t lose like this. Aricia and the other elves will be sad too.

Just before that… I felt the need to address the fundamental questions first.

“However… Why did they kidnap Allen?”

Usually, kidnapping is done because you want something. Asking for money or something like that.

But the Dark Elves’ goal couldn’t be money. Then all that’s left…

“It is clear that Allen’s body itself is the purpose. Exactly… She must want the seed of the baby.”
“Is that so…”

Although they were Dark Elves who forsook the Elemental Tree and became corrupted, they couldn’t solve the breeding problem either. With the exception of me, it is impossible for elves to conceive with the seed of another race.

In other words, the Dark Elves kidnapped Allen for the purpose of receiving his semen.

“But don’t they know about the male elves’ curse?”
“You know, but you’re trying to force it. So it’s even more dangerous. If we don’t save Allen as soon as possible…”
“Hmm…”

I guess it’s fortunately out of misfortune. Allen is still wearing a chastity belt. It’s not something he can’t break by force, but it’s pretty hard to break things without damaging them. That will buy you some time.

Still, the fact that it was an urgent situation did not change.

If the country did not exist.

“First of all, I’m thinking of setting up a rescue team centered on active senior elves and search teams. But if the teacher doesn’t help…”

Rosamia looked at me with anxious eyes. Same with other elves. Could this be a side effect of brainwashing? Because of the setting of being the benefactor of the village, they were more dependent on me than I thought.

“Of course I will help. But there is no need for a rescue team.”
“Yes? Why… ?”

To Rosamia, who tilted her head, I showed her the bracelet of the spirit beast.

“Because this guy is there.”
“Ah…”

Only then did Rosamia seem to understand my intentions.

After merging with the Spirit Beast, I became aware of the bracelet’s full power.

The bracelet has more power than you think.

Even with the ability to move in dimensions, it was possible to use it in a much more diverse way than the way I used to.

For example, I can instantly move anywhere there are elves under my protection. This includes Allen, of course.

In addition, it is possible to move together if it is in contact with the body.

In other words, if you set your mind to a kidnapping case, you can solve it in an instant.

So there was no need for them to make a fuss.

Rather, I was thinking about something else.

So to speak, it was a happy worry.

‘To think that the Dark Elves came on their own… This was a windfall.’

Yes. Even though I wanted to meet him, I was at a loss because there was no clue, but he showed up on his own, and I was so grateful that I was in tears.

Thanks to this, I was able to create more interesting content.

What kind of plan would be good? My heart was already starting to pound.

***

The group of Dark Elves who kidnapped Allen arrived at the garrison near lunch time. Basically, they were nomads, but recently they had settled in one place for quite some time.

The place where they settled was none other than the walled city where humans lived in the past.

The Dark Elves took over the city instead of the extinct humans. It is a place relatively close to the elves’ forest, and was once the leading elven slave business.

Humans died of disease, not war, so most of the property they used was preserved in its original state. The horses they rode were also inherited from those raised by humans. Although they had no knowledge of raising livestock, thanks to their excellent ability to communicate with animals, the Dark Elves were able to raise livestock without difficulty.

The clothes they were wearing were also different. There were fancy clothes like the human aristocrats, while others focused on being easy to move. The only thing they have in common is that they all show their skin to the fullest. The bronzed skin, tanned by prolonged exposure to sunlight, radiated a healthy beauty.

In a city where the owner has disappeared, they pretend to be the owner.

But even they couldn’t solve the curse.

Absence of male elves.

As the years passed, their number continued to decline. Elves’ lifespan is three hundred years at most. At least the youngest chieftain was about the same age as Rosamia, and most of them were well over one hundred and two hundred years old. Even then, the number of people could not exceed fifty.

But regardless of the circumstances, they were cheerful.

The Dark Elves were free as much as they had abandoned the blessing of the Spirit Beast themselves.

The power to deal with spirits was lost, but something was gained. Like humans, they were able to handle fire without hesitation, and their eating habits, which had been sticking to raw and vegetarian diets, also changed. Ironically, they were beginning to resemble the humans who enslaved them.

Dark elves were also hedonists.

Knowing the taste of indulgence and lawlessness beyond freedom, they wandered the continent and even harmed other races. Looting was basic, and there was no hesitation in harming human life.

All women kill, all men commit crimes. It was their basic motto.

In particular, they enjoyed hunting males.

They abducted males of other races, such as dwarves and beastmen, and treated them as sex slaves. You can’t have children by mating with other races, but you can get the pleasure that comes from sexual intercourse.

However, kidnapping Allen had a slightly different meaning.

“Chief! Success! We’ve been capturing male elves! Healthy! He is a very fresh guy!”

An adventurer’s guild located on the outskirts of the city.

They used the entire building as their hideout.

The Dark Elves got off their horses and picked up Allen and went to the Chief’s room.

In the center of the room, a bronze-haired elf with a different atmosphere from the other dark elves, but with the same skin color, was immersed in meditation. It was a very beautiful appearance, different from Allen’s imagination. She had a strangely similar impression to his mother, Rosa Mia.

The strongest and youngest chief among the Dark Elves… She is said to have an eccentric personality, but she holds back her tough Dark Elves with her excellent leadership.

Galatea opened her closed eyes.

Allen’s eyes met hers.

Her mouth opened slowly.

“Ah… My lord. I finally see you like this.”
“… Yes?”
