Chapter 1563 – 45. Exultant.

Northwood

Ancient forest covering the entire northern region

The home of all elves, an inviolable realm where those who are not allowed to wander for eternity

“To Northwood…”

“Ah, I guess there’s no reason to hesitate anymore.”

The immigrants who believed in themselves and relied on Heltern were assimilated without difficulty

The military force to protect Helton was also fully established.

Most of the concerns have been resolved.

So there was no reason to hesitate any longer.

“…Well, that’s true.”

Layla shook her head with a sullen expression.

The talented woman knew very well.

That there is no reason for Seonwoo to stay any longer

The immigrants were largely integrated and completely harmonized around the spiritual leader called Seonwoo.

The village’s defense, which was the biggest problem, was completely reinforced by the continent’s leading powerhouses called the Knights of the Holy Ten.

All the factors that made him hesitate have disappeared.

“Don’t make such an expression on your face, I’m not leaving at all.”

Seon-woo looked at her, who was visibly sullen, and looked at her.

“…I’m sorry…Sunwoo, I promised myself many times that I wouldn’t hold back…But it doesn’t work out the way I wanted…Isn’t that so stupid?. ..I can’t even keep my promise…”

I already knew.

That a day like this will come someday

That’s why I promised myself again and again.

I will never show it

I will never hold you back

I will not be a burden to Seonwoo, whom I love and respect so much

However, when it came to reality, it was not easy to keep the promise

The feeling of regret and disappointment is flooding in and is clearly visible on the face.

There was just no shame.

The car that made me feel embarrassed because I couldn’t control it

Seueuuk

Her rough hands began to gently cup her cheek.

“..Ah.”

Rayra, surprised by the touch her her, raised her gaze.

And she was able to face it.

The One God I Respect and Love the Most

Sunwoo’s extremely warm eyes

“It’s not stupid.”

Seonwoo removed her mouth in a calm tone.

“I know very well how much you care and cherish me, so don’t be foolish. It’s only natural to be sad when someone you care about leaves.”

It was not impossible to understand that sadness.

She knew clearly how much she valued herself.

“If I hadn’t shown it, I would have felt sad inside.”

“…Seonwoo.”

Layla looked thrilled.

She was extremely moved by her warm consideration as she took care of her her immature self her her her.

“So don’t cry, you are the most beautiful when you smile.”

“…Yes…I will smile a lot…So that you can always see it well.”

Layla smiled brightly, revealing her neatly prepared white teeth.

Very lovingly.

“Look, you look a lot better when you smile, right?”

Sunwoo smiled happily.

A woman’s most beautiful makeup was her smile, which was so lovely that you could almost feel it.

How can you not be happy?

“Seonwoo, I love it, I love it so much! It’s the best in the world.. Hehe.”

Pook

In the end, Layla, who could not bear her soaring feelings of love, fell into Sunwoo’s wide arms of her.

Although she was the cold body of a death knight,

The warmth contained within her wrapped her warmly.

Pat, pat, pat, pat

Seonwoo looked at her with affectionate gaze and stroked her gently.

As if she knew all about her her her her affectionate heart her

Hehe.”

The smile on her mouth she became even deeper

How much did she hug like that?

“Well, by the way, Seonwoo.”

Layla, who was swimming in Sunwoo’s wide arms, opened her mouth.

“Hmm?”

“Are you planning on asking Selena for guidance?”

“That’s right, it would be quite difficult to get into Northwood without a guide.”

Northwood is banned among bans that disallow trespassers

If an unauthorized person enters

She becomes trapped and wanders in a time that has stopped and an eternal maze.

Without a guide, she would have no choice but to suffer.

“But would Selena be willing to come forward?”

Northwood was the home of extremely closed elves who strictly prohibited humans from entering.

No matter how friendly Selena was to humans, it didn’t seem like she would willingly offer herself up as a guide.

“You may worry, but eventually you will accept.”

“How can you be sure?”

Layla asked back with an expression of ignorance.

“That woman, it’s not her nature to erase her debts.”

That’s what I experienced.

It was a special species among all species that knew the doctrine

.

.

“No.”

“…Eh?”

Sunwoo felt embarrassed by that firm yet quick refusal.

This is because I never expected that he would reject me so suddenly without even the slightest thought.

“Are you not even worried?”

“Because there is no reason to worry.”

It seemed like a completely different look from his usual smile.

“…I thought you weren’t the type to accumulate debt?”

“So I plan to work hard to repay it in the future.”

“Life debt is not something that can be repaid that easily. It’s going to take a very long time, right?”

“It’s okay because elves have long lifespans, they serve for about a century, well.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just pay the guide in full at once? A century is too long, right?””

“It’s okay, I live for a few hundred years, but it’s only about a century.”

Selena waved her hand as if it was no big deal.

“Treat the present more, the past years will never come back.”

“The process of paying off debt is also very important.”

“No, there is no need for that process, just pay it off all at once.”

“I don’t like it, I want to pay it back slowly.”

“I refuse!”

“Refuse rejection!”

“I refuse to refuse again!”

“I refuse to reject the rejection again!!!!”

It was an extension of a parallel line.

Since no one gives in, the conversation continues.

“I guess it’s characteristic of the elf race to receive grace and pretend not to notice?”

“What!?” You! That’s an elf-phobic statement!”

“It’s the truth, right?”

“I told you I would work hard to repay you for a century! A whopping 100 years!”

“No need!”

“Are you a fool!? A pretty elf like this says she’ll be with you for a hundred years, so what on earth do you need?”

“What I want is not to live with you for a hundred years! I want to go to Notsuudo!”

“No! Live with me for a hundred years!”

“I’m not alive!”

“Why don’t you live!”

“I’d rather go to Northwood than live with you!”

“Don’t be funny!”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

How long did this childish argument last?

“Ha… Stop… There will be no end if this continues.”

Soon, Sunwoo was the first to suggest a truce.

This was because I decided that if things continued like this, the meaningless puns would only prolong.

“…I agree.”

Selena also agreed to the proposal.

She also didn’t want any more horseplay

“Let’s be honest with each other. The reason I owed you a debt in the first place, Selena, was to ask you to serve as a guide to Northwood. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have even visited the Black Market, so your refusal is a bad thing for me. It’s quite difficult. What I want is a guide, not a close friend who will be by my side for a hundred years.”

“I thought he might have a purpose, but I thought he was closer to a monarch who protects the people within his walls rather than a hero who implements justice with self-sacrificing beliefs.”

Selena continued speaking in a calm tone.

In my opinion, he was a man with the qualities of a king who protected his people within a fence, rather than a hero who put his beliefs his first and realized the cause.

Therefore, she roughly guessed that there must be a good reason for visiting the black market in person to save herself.

“So, I was prepared to a certain extent. If the request was not unreasonable, I would fully listen to it. Life is so precious even to elves who live for hundreds of years.”

“Then it’s an unreasonable request.”

“It’s very difficult.”

Selena shook her head and continued her sentence.

“Bringing in outsiders without permission is one of the taboos. Even if you are an elf, if you break that taboo, you will be expelled or exterminated, so it will be difficult for me.”

“…Then, can’t I get permission? If you vouch for me, I don’t think there’s a chance?”

“My guarantee doesn’t have much influence.”

Selena shook her head from side to side.

“Elves are always mindful of the possibility of corruption, so they do not blindly trust even the same elves. They go through procedures and verify again and again to see if they are truly harmless to the forest and how much benefit they bring.”〈 Br〉

“So that means we will ultimately have no choice but to undergo a verification process that will take several years.”

“That’s right, that’s the only way to officially visit.”

“That’s not possible. I don’t have time to spend that much time.”

“But is there no other way?”

The debt of one’s life is precious, but the rules of the race are also precious.

They have equal value to the point that one cannot readily choose one over the other.

What on earth can be done in this situation?

“Unexpected numbers exist everywhere.”

Seonwoo continued speaking with a calm expression.

This situation was not unexpected in the first place.

She tended to keep all possibilities open

“You really don’t mean for me to be exiled without a move?”

Selena asked back with an anxious expression.

Looking at her calm expression, she felt a little uneasy.

“I don’t think that’s bad either..”

In fact, it was also the easiest method.

If only she was sacrificed, everything would be OK

“Profit! It’s not your business!”

Selena got angry and raised her voice.

There was no such harsh language.

She will be killed without a move

“If you get kicked out, don’t take responsibility for the rest of your life.”

“No need! I don’t want to be exiled! I don’t want to be slaughtered by my own people!”

Selena reacted violently, her face blushing.

“It’s a joke, a joke, don’t get too angry.”

Sunwoo waved his hand with a playful expression.

It was the easiest way, but I had no intention of forcing it.

It was out of character to sacrifice an innocent person for personal gain

“Sunwoo..You..So…Mischievous..”

Selena puffed out her cheeks.

This was the reason why my dissatisfaction with his mischievousness soared.

“It’s your fault. What if the reaction is funny?”

“Don’t pass the buck! You idiot!”

She exclaimed and raised her voice.

There was no such thing as a Jeokban Hajang.

“Well, anyway, the point is that admission is granted depending on how beneficial it is to the elves, right?”

“…Well, that’s true.”

“Then it’s simple. Wouldn’t it be enough to bring enormous benefits?”

“Wouldn’t it be easy?”

For elves, the concept of material greed does not exist.

What humans crave

Gold and silver treasures

Artifacts

It was all meaningless to the greedless elves.

There is only one ultimate goal they long for

There was only balance and harmony

Finding something that would benefit them is virtually impossible.

“It won’t be easy, if it’s someone else than me.”

Sunwoo had a confident expression.

As if he had the ultimate move

“…Since you’re so confident, I’m curious. Do you have anything that’s appealing?”

And the expression stimulated Selena’s curiosity.

What trick do you have that makes you so confident?

“I will save the world tree.”

“What!?”

At that moment, Selena raised her eyes and asked back.

I wonder if I heard wrong

“You said you would save the world tree, but it’s getting dryer, right?”

“How… How do you do that?!”

Selena asked back with a puzzled expression.

The world tree is gradually drying out

It was a top secret known only to a very small number of elves.

How on earth does he know that?

“I know everything.”

-Promotion Quest: Salvation of the World Tree.

Difficulty: SSS Rank

The source and one and only godmother of all elves.

The world’s trees are gradually drying up.

Only you can save the World Tree.

Give hope to the elves who have lost hope.

Reward: Job Change

Fraudulent information that only you can know

This is the trick called the quest window.

“Anyway, what do you think? Don’t you think this will be appetizing?”

A triumphant smile appeared on Sunwoo’s lips.
