Chapter 1129 – Elven Forest

He goes through various entrance procedures with Saintel.

Still, a VIP is an honored guest, so when I reported that I had arrived, various elves came. Many guards and attendants followed.

I just showed the leaves to let them know I was eligible for entry. Of course, the box containing the edict sent by the royal family was also properly displayed.

There were also things like a welcome performance for me or a tour of the capital city, but I had no choice but to accept them. For the time being, I came to the capital at full speed. It’s okay to relax a little, and it’s polite to be welcomed by the elves as an honored guest.

If a guest from far away is not treated well, it is rude to both parties.

“As expected, it’s amazing because it’s the capital.”
“This is the culture of the elves.”

Whatever it was, it was all worth seeing.

Elves were a race with highly advanced engineering skills. The more I look at it, the more I can only think that these pups are a fucking strong race.

“Actually, you don’t need an alliance, do you?”
“Haha. To think that elves are so highly regarded. If a human like you judges that much, then there is a high probability that other humans will also think so.”
“I guess so.”

Anyone who takes a look inside the Elven Forest will have the same thoughts as me. These bastards seemed to be able to defend themselves even if the Great Devil attacked them.

Why are these bastards allied?

First of all, elves consider protecting their world tree as the greatest value. The World Tree must not be harmed, and the Elven Forest that originated from the World Tree must not be destroyed.

They just think that protecting the land is the best.

Even they are happiest and most proud of living in their own forest, which originates from the World Tree.

That’s why there weren’t many elves living outside. Perhaps this was the reason why elves did not rule the world. Rather than expanding their territories, they focused on strengthening internal stability within the boundaries of the forest.

In the first place, since the land mass was so fucking big, they might not have felt the need to expand their territory. The wider it is, the stronger it will be to defend. In any case, they have built up stability in their forests.

As far as I can see, there are few reasons why these bastards would want to ally with humans.

Perhaps the biggest reason for that is this.

—-The reason for protecting their forest.

In other words, now that the world is unstable and there are signs that invaders from the other world will strike, he intends to use the human kingdoms as his shield. Let’s imagine that the kingdom collapsed due to a massive outbreak of demons somewhere.

Then, where will those demons advance?

You can come to this Elven Forest.

Then, from the standpoint of the elves, there was nothing but astonishment. These devils dare to set foot in the World Tree’s forest. I have no choice but to pass out by tearing off his head.

For that very reason, he intends to use the human kingdom as his shield.

To destroy the demonic bastards before they enter their land. Rather than risk the dangers they may have to fight in their precious forests, they would rather just make the human realm their battlefield.

Because?

This is because the place where the most beings from the other world appeared right now is Karga Kingdom. At least that’s my guess.

*           *

Anyway, after enjoying the capital of the elves, I was assigned my accommodation. This is the center of the capital city. It was also located inside the World Tree sanctuary.

The surroundings were quiet, very clean and had a good atmosphere.

Inside the World Tree sanctuary was a beautiful forest that was very well organized and managed.

Murderous monsters and unexplained anxiety. And without any ominous hints or gloom about wild and eerie beings.

It is literally a beautiful, peaceful and tranquil forest that can only come out of a fairy tale.

“Oh.”

It was a very good place for mental health.

The sunlight beating down on it and the light green grass rustling softly are all worth seeing. It’s probably a place managed by professional gardeners like they’re fighting a war. Even the building is white, so it feels luxurious.

It was fucking big, too.

There are only a few buildings inside the new station, and this hostel I stayed in was one of those few. In other words, a top-notch building.

“Now you just have to stay here and go to meet the world tree and our queen.”
“Yes. How long will it take?”
“The process has already been completed, so there will be no delay. You will see it soon. But I think it will take two or three days.”
“I’m really looking forward to that.”

I answered and looked out the window.

“That’s the Elven God World Tree.”
“Yes.”

What you can see from the other side of the window.

It was a huge tree. It’s a bit far from there, but it was a fucking big and majestic tree that you can clearly see from here.

Is that the world tree?

The height seems to be several hundred meters. Its circumference is also incredibly thick. The stem itself is huge, and the leaves are so damn many. It looked like a mountain, not a single tree.

“Isn’t it wonderful? The World Tree is the foundation of our elves.”
“It’s amazing.”

It could be said to be the god of the elves.

But I can’t really feel it when I’m looking at it from a distance. It’s not like I can feel any divine energy. You can feel this when you get close.

“But there are no dryads here.”
“This is the shrine of the World Tree. I can’t bring in those things.”
“So are those elves there?”

I asked, pointing to the elves who had entered the room.

“…”

Should I say an elf servant?

It seemed that female elves, dressed in something light and transparent, with transparent veils covering their faces just below their eyes, were accompanying me inside this house.

I was told that I could use it like a servant, but neither did I say a word, nor did I cover my face with a veil. It’s so unique I don’t know what to say.

More than anything else, the sky-blue clothes she was wearing were all see-through, so it seemed like she couldn’t live comfortably. Even all of them are female elves with good bodies. It wasn’t crazy for my girls, but it couldn’t be denied that they were quite attractive.

There are over ten such female elves.

“Yes. While staying here, they will accompany you. You can treat them as servants. Of course, while being polite.”
“It’s natural to be polite. What the hell are elves doing? Are elves engaged in something religious?”
“Yes. They are the queen’s maids.”
“The Queen’s Handmaid?”

Why does her queen dress her baby and her maids like that? If you don’t mind, after buying a few pairs, it was a provocative outfit that I wanted to try on my girls.

“Details are confidential, but they do this and that while living inside the sanctuary with the queen. That and this and that includes serving you.”
“Is that the rule?”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever done something like this, so I’m not sure. I’m just guessing that maybe the Queen didn’t direct it.”
“Hmm.”

Is it a favor

I don’t know if this was simply sending maids-in-waiting or if the women were attached to entertain.

“…”
“…”
“…”

The elven maids still stood still with their mouths tightly closed.

“What, can I ask for a meal?”
“That’s good.”
“But how long will you stick by my side?”
“Um… I’ll probably be back soon. There’s a unit of guardian warriors in the new station. Since the guide and escort missions have been completed, we have to return there.”
“The unit is here?”

After all, it was said that they were the most elite group of warriors protecting the World Tree.

It would be natural to be in the sanctuary.

“But isn’t that a secret?”
“I’ll be back from there soon anyway. It’s the first time something like this has happened, so I’m on the alert there too. I’m sent simply because I’m from their borders.”

This kid was also a guardian warrior.

“Anyway, you’ll just have to wait while eating.”
“That’s right. Just rest and wait.”
“Isn’t there a souvenir shop or something here?”
“A souvenir shop?”
“I’m here, I’ll have to bring something to commemorate. It’s common sense.”
“Hmm… I’ll look into that separately and tell you.”
“Thank you. Then we should eat.”
“If you ask the ladies-in-waiting, they will make it for you.”

Great.

“There ladies-in-waiting.”

I called the ladies-in-waiting.
Then they stared at me.

“…”

Still keep your mouth shut.

“Well, it’s transparent, so put on some decent clothes. Please prepare some food.”

ㅡ nodding.

At those words, the ladies-in-waiting nodded.

“Are you concerned about what’s showing through?”
“Then don’t you mind?”
“You could say the culture is a bit different.”
“No, other elves wear them well.”
“They are the queen’s maids.”

I fucking don’t understand.

“Still, I’m trying to put it on… Hmm.”
“No. Fuck it’s not like that.”

Let’s get some food and rest for a while.

*           *

It was the morning of the next day after resting well at the hostel.

Saintel, who had gone back last night, brought back his friends.

“Human. The base invited you. We haven’t scheduled an audience yet, so you should have some time. I hope you go.”

Behind her stood a number of elves who seemed to have a hobby of serial killing. All of them are radiating vicious energy, so anyone who sees them would think that I borrowed money from these bastards and didn’t pay them back.

Anyway, since they look strong, it must be that they are the Guardian Warriors.

“Wait. I’ll prepare and leave.”

I made simple preparations, packed all my equipment and belongings, and went out of the dorm. Shouldn’t you be invited to go? And I wanted to see just how strong the Guardian Warriors really were.

“Nice to meet you. I am Sequoren.”
“They say my name is Feliris.”
“My name is Kimkat Paladin. Nice to meet you.”

As soon as I left, I briefly exchanged greetings with the Elf Guardian Warriors who had followed Saintel, and that’s how I followed them to the unit where the Guardian Warriors were stationed.

ㅡSuho Daejeonsa Garrison.

It was located closer to the World Tree, and it was a spacious, pleasant, and beautiful place unimaginable for a military base. Even if this was a theme park rather than a military base, everyone seemed to believe it.

Judging by the layout of the building, this is where the troops receive mental training as well as combat training.

“It’s a pretty decent unit.”
“It’s the best facility. Now, let’s go over there.”

I followed the Saintel and moved to the fucking big building in front of me.

ㅡ Kikkiik.

Upon arriving at the door, Saintel opened the door.

We got into it slowly.

“Oh.”

It was a very large hall.

When there was something to be communicated, if all the Guardian Warriors were summoned here and then spread the word, they would be able to taste the power. It was such a large space. From the pure white marble floors to the high ceilings and chandeliers.

No joke.

Anyway here.

“A lot.”

There were a lot of Guardian Warriors.

ㅡGuardian warriors spread all over the left and right.

A little more than a hundred guard warriors were spread out to the left and right, dressed like uniforms, sitting quietly and watching me.

“…”
“…”
“…”

Literally, it was in the midst of exuding a dojo-like atmosphere.

What the fuck am I, Choi Bae-dal, who came to crack the seal?
It’s an atmosphere that makes you feel that way.

And in the front, a male elf who was clearly looking good was sitting on a nice chair, and next to him was a female elf who looked pretty good.

From the atmosphere, it seemed that those guys were the captains of this Guardian Warriors unit.

“Saintell. What day is it today?”
“I haven’t heard of this… Wait.”

It was when Saintel told me to stay still and was about to walk towards the elf sitting in front of me, who at first glance looked like a commander.

“Welcome to visit!”
“Welcome to visit!”
“Welcome to visit!”

ㅡJungkjal!

The Guardian Warriors who were seated greeted me while shouting at the same time.

“Oh oh!”

What a wild welcome!
These bastards are well prepared!

“Thank you for welcoming me, Guardian Warriors! You welcomed me so fiercely! I’m impressed!”

So I greeted them with a big smile and waving their arms to make a heart.

“…”

These guys aren’t in a good mood.

“Hmm.”

In fact, I knew it from the first time I came in.

The atmosphere is not particularly favorable to the subject of killing these bastards.

—-Unfavorable currents are flowing.

My exaggeratedly welcoming response was just to ridicule because I didn’t like the atmosphere.
