Chapter 61 – Unwavering Goals

#061.

“What a dog! Who the hell is that guy!!”

The chancellor took out his anger by picking up all the objects he could see in front of the room.

Then, when he could no longer see anything sane, he stopped breathing heavily.

“Damn it… Even the marble of suggestion was taken away. What should I do with this…”

Ugh-

The chancellor, who was anxious about the future, accepted it right away when subtle magic power came out of the telecommunication magic tool.

“Yes. It’s coud vise.”

– Coud Vice. To come over to the empire. Work in the Kingdom of Rianne is suspended.-

“Please wait! The job is almost done! If the king does a little more now…!”

The chancellor trembled and begged, as if the correspondent’s words were a declaration of execution.

But that didn’t work for the correspondent.

– To the Empire. He told me to come.-

Although it was a short statement, the chancellor could not resist the words.

“Yes, I understand. I will go to the Empire.”

-Okay. I’ve come to need even your humble magic. Then hang up.-

─Tap

“Haaa..”

Communication was cut off and the chancellor let out a deep sigh of relief and calmly put his head down.

Then she gritted her teeth and let out her hatred.

“Chris Leanne.. I made a mistake. It was my mistake for not knowing how stupid you were.”

The chancellor put a lot of effort into this work.

On that day, he gave a hint to all the knights working around him, and even put a noise blocking magic on the access prohibition magic.

But all of that was in vain.

Not only that, but all plans went to waste again.

“Shit..!”

The chancellor, who had been spitting out hatred and resentment not only for the crown prince but also for others, finished all his preparations and left the room.

He encountered numerous people, but the chancellor, who greeted them as usual, stepped into a secret passage prepared in advance.

That’s right-

As soon as they entered, the walls went back to their original state, and the chancellor lit a fire with magic and started moving.

“But who the heck is he?”

The guy who kidnapped the princess with the sword used by the Paladins of the Church of Destruction and went on a rampage.

It is highly likely that the Crown Prince was also dealt with by that bastard.

“Is it a shadow? But the design was different for that…”

Above all, if it was really a shadow, there would be no need to make such a fuss.

Just like when you sneaked in, you just had to get out without anyone noticing.

“Then, if it’s not the Shadow or the Church of Destruction, then there’s a third power!”

It was the chancellor who thought that there were existences like them, but that there would be no other forces.

“Damn it… It’s dangerous. There is a dark force that we don’t even know exists!”

The chancellor, who was very proud of himself, tried to find the reason why his plan collapsed elsewhere.

As a result, I mistook absurd thoughts that I would never normally do as if they were the truth.

“You have to tell him!”

The chancellor, who hastily reached a conclusion in his haste, hastened his steps.

***

“Are you okay?”
“Uh…? What..”

When I opened my eyes to her hand shaking her shoulder, I saw the face of a certain woman.

‘It’s fucking pretty..’

As much as she couldn’t enjoy it in her previous life, she has many points of contact with beauties, as if she should enjoy it in this life.

Fresh lemon-colored hair and green eyes that naturally make you feel at ease.

And..

‘Uh? Homecoming..’

His ears could be seen sticking out through his hair.

‘It’s an elf!’

As soon as she confirmed that she was an elf, she turned her gaze directly to her chest.

She was trying to make sure the story she heard from Nia was true.

But unlike the elves I’ve seen so far, she had a rather voluptuous fruit hanging from her chest.

‘Phew~ Comfortable.’

She was wearing a dress made entirely of leaves, and she was frayed and torn here and there, which made her strange.

“Hey… Are you out of your mind? Look at this!”

When she didn’t respond to her own words, her elf girl grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook her.

And her status window popped up in front of her eyes.

‘Raina Ornix. The race is… A high elf?’

Could it be that she had big breasts because she was a high elf?

Other than that, I looked at other information, but there wasn’t much written.

The fact that such little information came to mind told me one thing.

‘He must be stronger than me…’

I don’t know how much, but it was said that it was more than 7 stars.

“Hey! Can’t you see me?”

While examining her status window, the elf shook her shoulder again.

So he answered by stroking her hand on her shoulder.

“Oh, thank you. Excuse me. Haha… The situation was so sudden…”
“I’m glad you’re okay. I was surprised to see it washed away by the river.”
“I’m alive thanks to you. You owe her life. How can I thank you for this..’

She tried to mix up her words somehow, but the elf shook her head and stood up.

“No. I also have urgent business. Enough then..”
“Oh, wait!”

I tried to grab the arm of the elf girl who was about to leave.

But..

Stroke!

“What are you doing?”

Avoiding my touch, he took a few steps back and gave me a wary look.

‘What? Why are you so sensitive?’

While thinking about that, she looked around her.

‘How much time has passed?’

The place where I was lying was in the middle of a green forest.

It was obviously the middle of winter before he died, but life around him was already in full bloom.

“What year and month are you now?”
“Yes? What is that…?”
“Come on. What year and month is it?”
“Um… It’s June 1060 on the continental calendar.”

Could the elf girl have a headache? If she wanted to, she sent a sympathetic gaze.

But that fact never caught on to me.

‘Crazy! Hasn’t it been at least 7 months?’

Of course, I thought it would take a while, but I didn’t think it was this much.

‘That’s right too. If you die in the water, you will continue to drown..’

I had thought about what it would be like if it was buried in the ground or drowned in the sea before, but I skipped it because it was impossible to prove it.

‘I don’t want to die in the water next time.’

Even now, the elf rescued him from the water, so it was a shame that his resurrection would have been delayed even more.

In the worst case, it could be hundreds of years later when it comes to life.

Then, all of a sudden, she felt uncomfortable.

It is no exaggeration to say that the forest is the treasure house of all life.

Even though it was such a place, I didn’t hear a single common grass bug sound.

“Um… Why isn’t there any sound?”

As I looked around her and asked that question, the elf woman’s wariness subsided a little.

“…You should also avoid it. Because it’s dangerous here…”

Like the way she dresses, she seems to be being pursued from somewhere.

At that time, I felt an ominous sensation.

It was similar to the feeling she felt when she was in the carriage with the princess.

So she immediately sharpened her senses and surveyed her surroundings.

Then she felt it.

‘That bracelet…’

The elf girl wore a plant bracelet on her wrist that gave off such a strong aura.

As I stared at it, the elf woman wrapped her bracelet around her and asked.

“Why… Do you?”
“That bracelet… Can I touch it? I’ll just put one finger on it. If you do nonsense, you can kill me.”
“…I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”

‘Isn’t it okay..?’

She pondered what to do with the resolute refusal, but the elf woman continued.

“Instead… I’ll bring it to you.”
“Yes? What.. I see.”
“Then excuse me. Because I still can’t trust you.”

After saying that, the elf woman put her hand on the tree next to her and emitted lemon-colored magic.

At the same time…

─Kuddeudeudeuk!

The twigs of the tree grew in an instant and bound my body.

“What..!”

As I panicked, the tree restrained my limbs in an instant.

“Sorry. But I can’t help it. Then..”

After apologizing and blurting out her words, the elf woman untied her bracelet and took it to the back of her hand.

At the same time, an information window popped up.

“A bracelet made by the Elf Queen Yurina Ornyx. Currently, the curse of the Church of Destruction is hanging over it…”

After reading it roughly, it was explained that it was a bracelet made by the elven queen, but now it has a tracking spell from the Church of Destruction.

As soon as she figured it out, she said.

“I heard that the bracelet has some kind of tracking magic from the Church of Destruction?”
“…Yes? That, what is that…!”

The elf girl was quite embarrassed, but she started staring at me with a look of anger.

‘If it’s the same Ornyx, maybe this woman is an elf princess?’

She said how long it’s been since she had sex with Princess Arisha, and this time she’s meeting an elf princess, so lucky in this world.

In fact, it was her perseverance for this life that I lived as a motherless virgin for over 10 years.

‘Okay. They are destined to form a harem in this world.’

If you don’t think like that, your previous life is too miserable.

“Reina Ornix. Trust me.”
“How could my name..! Are you also a member of the Church of Destruction?”

Rayna stepped back in shock when she casually called her own name.

‘But it doesn’t kill me…’

She honestly knew that if I said her name, she would kill me right away.

Even so, the reason I said the name was because it was my benefactor.

‘I have to help at least once.’

Even while she is being tracked, she is a kind older sister to the point of helping someone she sees for the first time.

She couldn’t just let a woman like this survive on her own.

“I am not a member of the Church of Destruction. It’s just that I have a special ability. Throw away that bracelet.”
“Ha, but this was given to me by my mother..”

If the elf princess is in the position of being chased like this, it would be more correct to say that the elf kingdom has already been screwed.

Then, of course, the Elf Queen must have already died.

‘It’s a waste of a married woman’s elf queen..’

Inside, she clicked her tongue in her regret, then urged Reina with a strong tone.

“So what? Would the Elf Queen really like it if you died because of that bracelet?”
“Everything, what do you know?”

Reina said that in an angry tone, as if the Elf Queen had also had a seizure switch.

‘This isn’t the level of being nice…’

I’m an orphan, so I’m immune to Padrip, but if someone cursed at Eris or Nia, I would have killed them right away.

Even though my whole body would be crushed to death if I just tightened it with the tree that was restraining me right now, I still controlled it in detail and made it so I didn’t get sick.

She tossed and turned her body for a moment before speaking in a calm tone.

“I don’t know anything. But… I think you don’t know more than I do.”
“What do you mean..?”
“Because your mother wants you to live. She doesn’t want to be tied down to bracelets like that.”
“Ah..!”

After a small sigh at my words, Reina looked at her bracelet and carefully took it off.

And she was gently stroking and she was trying to snatch.

“Wait! They use it to disrupt.”
“…But to whom…”
“Who are you? Give it to me.”

Even though there is someone who can openly use her as a bait in front of her eyes, she can’t think like that.

‘He’s really a total asshole.’

If you say you have a disease that will kill you if you don’t touch your chest right away, I wonder if you let me touch it.

“Are you serious? Then you die.”

Reina frowned as if she couldn’t believe it.

“It’s just that you saved me, so I’m paying off the debt. And who dies instead? I just want to catch a passing bird and put it down.”
“That way…”

It seems that the situation is so urgent that I can’t even think of simple things.

Originally smart people sometimes get very simple problems wrong.

Kudo deuk-

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I can shake off the chase. I’ll take care of the aftermath, so you can run away as well.”
“Watch till the end.”

As the tree returned to its original form, I became free and sat down on a nearby rock, rubbing my wrists for no reason.

Then Reina whistled her whistle with a dark expression.

Immediately, a bird perched on a nearby tree approached, and Rayna, with her bracelet dangling from its foot, stroked her head while shedding a tear.

“Sorry for calling you this way. Go now.”

Fudduk-

As she watched the bird fly away, Rayna wiped away her tears and turned her head to me.

“It’s done. You run away too.”
“Call me Rai. I will call you Reina too.”

Letting go of her blunt words, Reina widened her eyes before she grinned.

“All right. Lai. Thank you so much. I hope to see you later.. Anywhere. Enough then.”

Dig-

Rayna briefly thanked her, then turned around and ran away in the opposite direction from where the bird had flown.

“…But where is this place?”

I was going to ask in the middle, but I didn’t ask because it would take up too much time.

After scratching the back of her head, I decided to move.

“Ugh.. Now I’m homeless again..”

When I left home, they said that I was a high school student, and that’s how it is.

It’s complicated and subtle to re-feel the feelings she felt in her previous life when she became independent from her orphanage.

‘I have money, so I just need to go to the city..’

I also have an inventory, so it’s a relief that I put in a little bit each time I received her dignity maintenance fee.

Current total wealth is 32 gold.

This is enough to buy a decent family home, even if you don’t have a mansion in the city.

“Then let’s go…”

Once along the river, she began to move her steps briskly, thinking that at least a village would come out.

You must get out of the forest before the members of the Church of Destruction arrive.

As soon as she thought about it, she immediately changed into her normal clothes and quickly started running through the woods.

Pak!

When I kicked the dirt floor, my body was shot at a furious speed with a strong repulsive force.

Pak! Grasp!

With each step she picked up speed, rising to the level of a decent sports car.

Love love liquid-

The wind brushes your ears and the cool air fills your lungs.

‘Air Joota!’

After going over the mountain like that, I opened the status window.

‘How much karma has accumulated?’

It was definitely 200 the last time I saw it.

So I looked there and saw the number 1082 written on it.

“Uh? What. Why is it over 1000?”

Come to think of it, the last time I saw him was the night before leaving for the estate with the princess.

If so, it means before killing the 7-star knight.

“He gave me over 800..?”

If so, collecting 5,000 karma by picking and killing only 7-star knights would mean eating a piece of cake.

But..

“It can’t be..”

What I’ve experienced so far is that the more I kill the same species, the more the sheep die.

Of course, it’s still too early to dismiss humans as one species, but karma won’t come together that easily.

‘But it’s good for now.’

I felt something desperately this time.

That’s right

“It’s good to have as many skills as possible.”

Of course, I had vaguely thought about it before, but this time I realized that it was really essential.

What if I had a stealth skill?

Maybe he sneaked out of the palace without making a fuss.

Besides that, there are countless others.

Aura Explosion, which I learned by chance, has now become my living skill.

Without it, Princess Arisha would have been raped by the Crown Prince before I knew it.

‘That doesn’t work.’

I was anxious to leave Nia and Eris alone, but I’m glad I killed the crown prince.

After walking for a while, I looked around and frowned.

‘But why doesn’t the village come out like this?’

It seemed that they had been running for several hours, but there was no sign of anyone.

Obviously, when I first opened my eyes, the sun was up in the middle of the sky, but before I knew it, it was slowly starting to go down.

“Ah.. It’s already done.. Isn’t there a cave?”

Looking around, I saw a cave not far away.

As I quickly approached and went inside, I noticed that the passengers were already there.
