Chapter 326 – Invitations (4)

The interior of Nidhogg was spotless. However, I must say that it was too far-fetched.

Nothing except the hull made of roots.

“No, they said there would be basic facilities.”

“There is. It’s just usually hidden. People can ride inside, and cargo can be loaded, so there’s no reason to take it out in advance, right?”

“Usually, that’s why we separate passenger ships and cargo ships.”

“Whoa, isn’t Nidhogg a normal ship?”

Elisha shrugged and reached out to the hull like a large wall.

Magical power formed at the tip of her slender finger, and soon it changed into a well-refined water attribute.

Let’s push the mana that seems like it will fall at any moment like a drop of water into the hull.

Koogoo Palace-

The roots of the hull wriggled with a heavy sound, and a thick tree trunk rose from within.

A single red fruit on a rapidly growing tree trunk.

Grabbing it and taking a bite, Elisha continued with a satisfied expression.

“In this way, if you think of something you want along with well-refined water attribute magic, it will pop out. Of course, it can only be prepared in advance.”

“Ahhh…”

What is over technology? A while ago, I knew that not everyone could ride just because of the staff’s words and actions, but… Does this make sense though?

As I was staring blankly at the fruit trees sprouting from the hull, something suddenly entered my mouth.

“Eww?”

Elisha put the fruit she was eating into her mouth.

Sweet juice that spreads in your mouth with just one bite. Unusually, the aftertaste was slightly sour, but it felt rather clean.

“Is it delicious?”

“Huh.”

“It’s a fruit called El Shasha that can only be eaten in Nidhogg.”

“Elisha, you and I have the same name.”

“Oh? Maybe that’s why you enjoy me so much.”

“…”

Sex drip at this timing?

She was able to swallow a piece of El Shasha only after pounding her heart, and Elisha giggled as she saw it.

“How about this? Do you like it?”

“… I like it very much. I like it so much that I want to eat another one.”

“Thank you for liking it, but don’t eat too much. Even if it looks like this, it’s a great high-calorie food. Even if I only eat three, I don’t have to eat anything else that day.”

“… Don’t you think you’re that hungry?”

“That’s why I usually use it as emergency food.”

Did Elisha’s words touch her wrath? Carla, who was touching El Shasha’s branch as if in wonder, fell in fright.

“Hey! Bad tree… !”

Holding the trembling Karla in her arms, he looked around her.

The door to the hull has been closed since we climbed, but Nidhogg still shows no signs of moving.

“Anyway, I said that if you have the leaves of the World Tree, you will move right away. Is something wrong?”

“Ugh. Maybe you got mad because you said you would brew it like tea leaves and use it as an elixir?”

“Really? Wasn’t it just a leaf, a kid with an ego?”

I looked at the leaves of the world tree with new eyes.

Palm size. However, the vitality felt inside is terrifying.

To the point where it wouldn’t be strange if he was really alive.

Just in case, I touched the tip of the leaf and whispered.

“Hey, are you crying?”

“… You. It’s not soothing, it’s teasing.”

Unbelievable. I was really just trying to form a consensus.

While staggering in shock. Iris, who approached me before I knew it, smiled and said.

“Didn’t my older sister tell me? The owner’s comfort is not comfort. But what… Nothing to worry about. Elisha was only joking around a little, but she still has a different reason to stay still.”

“Really?”

She glared at her, but Elisha had previously lifted Iris up and hid behind her.

What is Master’s Shield?

Iris, who now has no resistance to the extent that she is suddenly lifted up. She continued, waving her feet in the air.

“From the moment we entered, the signal must have already gone. Route adjustments should have been all over by now.”

“Adjust course?”

“It is a road that extends to every nook and cranny of this vast Great Forest. If necessary, it goes here and there, so of course it’s complicated. However, since we have only one destination, we must be making the fastest route to Yggdrasil.”

Therefore… It’s a little different, but it means that the track has been roughly changed to become an express train from a local train, right?

“Why did you do that… ? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to just run on the designated track?”

“Anyway, since the roots are the same, there is no difference. Above all, aren’t we VIPs who should be served as quickly and comfortably as possible?”

“Oh.”

Come to think of it, it is.

“Aside from that, there may be other things we need to prepare for. Fix the wagon and take out the necessary facilities.”

“Are you waiting for that time?”

“That’s it. When you’re ready, you can put your hand anywhere on the hull and ask for a little magic attribute to set off.”

Iris said that if the route was adjusted, she would leave as it was, and if she still needed a little more time, she would spit out her magic again.

“Good. Well, let’s get the amenities out of the way first. I don’t know how long it will take, but isn’t Yggdrasil the deepest part of the Great Forest? It won’t arrive in a few hours.”

“Hmm. It will take about three days.”

“Okay? Do you have anything to recommend?”

“Miss Helena’s wagon would be more comfortable for most things, so shouldn’t we take out snacks and drinks first? What Elisha took out was simply a fruit to replenish energy. Besides that, you will need something to play with.”

“Oh oh. Nice If you have something to recommend, let’s get that out.”

“Leave it to me. It’s Elisha. Let’s go there.”

“Your master.”

Iris, still dangling, gave instructions to Elisha.

It didn’t take long for the empty Nidhogs to fill up.

***

So-so-

Nidhogg started to advance with a strange sound. They huddled together at a table installed in the center and began to appreciate it together.

It was a bonus to have a glass of liquor stored in Nidhog with each.

“Nice.”

“It’s a skill that contains the essence of Alfheim, so it’s natural. … It may disappear now.”

“You just get rid of something good like this? Why?”

“It’s not about getting rid of it. It will become unusable.”

“?”

When she tilted her head, wondering what this meant, Elisha, who was next to her, smiled bitterly and explained instead.

“It’s a simple story. Do you know what happened to the elf who lost spiritism after listening to the master?”

“They say it’s the same as losing the foundation that supported the elven society? Now I somehow manage to solve it with the remaining spirit stones and elemental magic…”

“Spirit stones will all be consumed someday, and elemental magic is too inefficient to replace elemental magic.”

It’s not that elemental magic is inferior to elemental magic or anything like that. It’s simply a matter of compatibility.

The two have quite a bit in common, so they can be replaced somehow…

Spirits that directly use the power of nature and elemental magic that imitates the basic elements of the world are completely different powers.

“Same goes for Nidhogg. Originally, it was built to weave this vast Great Forest into one. At first, only high elves and rich people could use it, but I was thinking of gradually increasing the number so that everyone could finally use it…”

“Did you just neglect it because spiritism was banned?”

“It’s almost like that. It was driven only when there was something important. The problem is…”

“The problem is that there aren’t just one or two places like this?”

“…”

Elisha silently nodded.

Indeed. When I just heard it in words, I didn’t really feel it, but seeing it like this, I can understand it.

Alfheim could really be ruined if he was so obsessed with spiritism. There was a reason why Elisha and Iris were serious about elemental magic.

Maybe it’s because of the slightly heavier atmosphere? Iris grabbed my glass with a bright voice.

“Don’t worry too much. It will be easy for the next 100 years or so. See you now Originally, I had to borrow the power of the tree spirit to manipulate Nidhogg… Wasn’t it possible to send a signal with water attribute magic? I’m sure someday I’ll find a way. I don’t know if it will be me or Elisha.”

After saying that, Iris brought the half-empty wine glass to a large leaf nearby.

Chewy.

A whitish liquid leaked from the inside of the hull and dripped down the leaves into the drinking glass.

“So now have a drink or two. No, drink as much as you can.”

“What kind of drink is this? It seems different from before.”

“Ugh. As the owner knows, elves have sensitive senses, so once they wake up to sexual desire, it’s easy to fall into it. That’s why there is a custom that values ​​chastity even more.”

“Yeah, I know it because I check it every night. I have nothing to say again.”

“Think about it. She’s a woman, so if you feel it a lot, she’ll be happy for you and for the other person, so there’s no problem… What about men?”

“Omg.”

Premature ejaculation… No, when I think of the elves who have become masters of rapid fire, I feel compassion.

Iris looked at my cold face and smiled softly.

“That’s why traditional elven wine contains many ingredients that are good for stamina.”

“Could it be with this drink?”

“Why not? This is a fairly high-quality liquor called Psyche’s Tears. Of course, the medicinal effect is just as strong.”

As soon as Iris finished speaking, she immediately took a full shot of the drink.

Unlike the refreshing scent that cools her head, the hot heat that travels down her throat and pours into her stomach.

Surprisingly, the heat spread beyond the stomach to the lower leg.

Kya! This is the elixir!
