Chapter 323 – Invitations

The old dormitory that Rebecca rented out entirely is smaller than the current dormitory… This is, to some extent, relatively speaking.

In the first place, the place where the great wizard of the warriors party made his personal connections and all his fortune could not be small.

Even at the time, this was a dormitory prepared for students with excellent grades. There was at least a garden where you could take a light walk without going far.

Unlike the building, this one wasn’t properly maintained and turned into a jungle…

Wouldn’t there be magic to use in this case?

After burning it down, turning the ground upside down and burying the remains, a decent vacant lot was completed in an instant.

Come to think of it, the other day I climbed to the rank of lieutenant wizard and said that I would make a new one when I couldn’t use the existing personal training room.

I never dreamed that I would become a high-ranking wizard before my new personal training room was even completed.

According to Iona, it is almost finished. I’m a little sorry, but I have no choice but to ask the academy to make another one of these.

The training room that was built to receive even lieutenant magic wouldn’t be able to handle me now.

Iona told me to leave that part to herself, so I decided to do it.

While waiting, I decided to use a target that forcibly raised magic resistance by adding drug treatment and Iris’s enchantment to the alchemy steel scarecrow that Fay made temporarily.

For several days, I tried to see what and how far I could do with the spirit magic, and also cast small, high-level magic, and I embodied the realization I gained this time as mine.

At this point, I thought it would be okay to practice in real life.

Rebecca informs me that cultists from all over the continent have begun a full-scale offensive.

It seems that there has been no major damage yet, but unlike the existing terrorism, it has become close to war.

In fact, among the small villages on the outskirts, there are places that have been captured by cultists.

At H&A, I was a little puzzled by the current small engagement because I started eating one of the key points with all my might from the beginning… Come to think of it, it was Solaris.

It wasn’t enough that I blocked her conversion blow, so I revealed Fiona’s true identity and even awakened her wariness toward cultists.

In the process, many spies of Seething Silence were caught, so it would have been difficult to drive like crazy based on inside information.

Of course, the explosive power shown in H&A in the beginning must be reduced.

I feel proud of myself at the thought that what I have done so far has not been in vain. That’s how I came out of the dormitory to practice hard today as well.

“Huh?”

A letter was stuck in an old mailbox.

In the center of the luxurious envelope was the seal of Alfheim, the kingdom of the elves.

***

“Let’s see. ‘Let’s ask for the scent of the first flower to bloom on the continent where dark clouds hang over and the long rainy season begins. If we have a chance, it would be nice together to straighten the wrongly cut leaves.’ … What do you mean?”

There are as many as three chapters that are incomprehensible even under it.

From the familiar ancient Elvish signature at the end and the leaf of the enclosed world tree, we can see that it is a letter from the de facto ruler of Alfheim, Prime Minister Milone.

But no matter how many times I read it, I still can’t figure it out.

First of all, I know that when elves send formal correspondence with a setting from H&A, there is a custom of turning words around and comparing them to all kinds of natural objects.

In fact, I learned at the academy that every big family always hires someone who is fluent in the Elvish language.

It is because the complex culture of the past is handed down without distortion because of the exceptionally long lifespan.

But when I actually received this, I was a bit embarrassed. So what does this mean? I know it’s kind of nuanced.

He frowned and glared at the letter. Even though I was going to get annoyed with the strangely good smell, I ended up.

This… Is it the smell of the leaves of the World Tree? Just one shot makes you feel like you’re in the woods.

It’s definitely a treasure.

Nodding inwardly, she handed the letter to Elisha.

“I have no idea what this means. Can you explain it?”

“… Hey you? How old do you think I am?”

“Aren’t you 20 years old?”

“At 20, you are just a child among elves. I don’t even know such difficult words.”

“Oh.”

But. It could be because this is a particularly boring culture even among elves.

Even though he was a high elf, the fact that he was born in an era where his authority was limited to religious symbols probably also played a role.

Anyway, Elisha wasn’t sure, so she turned her attention to asking someone else.

“…”

Iris looked up at me with twinkling eyes.

Her lips fluttering, and her heels rising and dropping. Seeing the strangely arrogant expression there, I could tell without words.

Are you looking forward to imagining yourself interpreting this in a cool way?

Hmm. Good. Never have to

Pretending she didn’t see anything, she passed Iris indifferently, and she passed her letter to Iona.

“Professor? If you are a professor, can you interpret it?”

“What? What? Are you asking me?”

It was Iona who tilted her head with her puzzled expression, but she noticed my thoughts shortly after and raised the corners of her mouth playfully.

“Well, I can interpret it! No matter how you look like this, you are a professor!”

“Is that so? Hey! Are you really trustworthy?”

“That’s right! There’s no comparison between this 500-year-old little high elf and Professor Iona!”

“And! Cool professor! I love you Professor!”

“Ahem! Ahem!”

“…”

Watching our skit up close, Iris’ expression turns grim, like a platypus held upside down by her tail.

She can’t bear to say anything, and it’s cute that she whines alone…

Living with Iris is God, but is it because she teased her too much these days? The gaze of Elisha, who is crossing her arms beside her, is quite fierce.

I have to stop here for today.

Iona seemed to have the same thought, so she met her gaze once, nodded her head, and held out her letter to Iris.

“But but! In case I misread it, I think it would be better to ask Iris, a high elf gifted with the most divine protection here, who was educated as royalty during a time when this esoteric analogy was in full swing!”

“Oh my god! Then Iris could interpret it in much more detail! Iris is great! Iris is cute!”

Iona and I joined forces to raise it up, and only then did Iris, who returned to her original expression, shrug her shoulders and accept her letter.

“Hmmmm. If the owner and Iona ask for it, then I will have no choice but to use my strength here. Wait a moment.”

A light moan escaped from Iris’ mouth as she read through the four pages of the letter without hesitation.

“Huh…”

“What. What do you mean? What could be wrong?”

“Oh, that’s not it, don’t worry, master. This is an invitation of sorts.”

“Invitation?”

“Ugh. To put it simply, it’s not unusual for cultists to rampage these days, so I want to ask for help from the owner who has been in conflict with them for a long time and blocked the plan. He told me to come to Yggdrasil, the capital of Alfheim, at any time because he will serve you as a guest.”

“It’s a bit out of the blue, but I get it. Like in the case of the Levantine Empire, it’s like catching spies inside Alfheim or asking for countermeasures, right? It’s not difficult. No, that’s what I wished for.”

Alfheim is one of the countries that must be protected along with the Levantine Empire.

Alfheim… The fall of its capital, Yggdrasil, means that the World Tree and the circulating life that dwells within it will fall into the hands of the cultists.

It also means that there will be no circulating Priests of Life who exert overwhelming abilities in the field of healing.

There are no circulating believers in our party, so there shouldn’t be any problems… Others are different.

The army with more than half of the healers blown away will collapse in an instant, and those who die will become undead by the power of narrow-minded jealousy.

It is only a matter of time before the current war situation, which he is coping with so well, is overturned.

The reason why I asked Rebecca to give me information on the battles happening across the continent was because I wanted to go to support right away if a strategic point like Alfheim was under a major attack.

But since you asked me to come first like this, it’s a good thing for me. If there’s just one thing that bothers you.

“But what’s wrong with your expression? Is there anything else besides that?”

“Ugh. That’s right. Didn’t the owner buy me, Elisha, and Pamilane?”

“It did?”

“After hearing the news that Lady Lindelheit’s false accusation was recently lifted and Elisha’s treatment of a semi-nobility, if I’m also falsely accused, they say they’ll give you reinstatement and a fair compensation.”

“… ?”

He tilted his head once and asked.

“Could it be that the summoning of the spirits is a false accusation and in fact innocent?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

It was said that it was yugumueon.

Iris, speechless even with her mouth open, licks her small lips, and she awkwardly avoids her gaze.

The answer was enough.

“I can’t. Iris must be my slave for the rest of my life.”

“W-what! Didn’t Elisha say that if she ascended to a higher rank, she would release me too!”

“Huh. I’ve changed my mind. Unlike Elisha, who is unfair, Iris, you have nothing to be unfair about. Just be my slave for the rest of my life.”

“Urg! Profit… !”

Iris stamped her feet and showed an angry expression. It’s just that the corners of her mouth are twitching, so I don’t hate it.

She giggled and stretched out Iris’s cheek once more.

“Let’s pack up. Gotta go right away Oh, is it possible to teleport to Yggdrasil, Professor Iona?”

“No no. I’ve never been there, and the coordinates are private, so there’s no way. Even if they did, it would be meaningless to the place where the power of the World Tree reaches because it is impossible to move in space.”

“Then you have to go by land from the middle…”

“That’s fine, sir. Didn’t you have the leaves of the world tree sent together? That will serve as both a pass and an invitation. Everything will be solved just by showing it, so take good care of it.”

“… Can’t we steep it in hot water to make an elixir and drink it?”

Iris’ gaze suddenly grew cold.

Why.

I thought it was player money…
