Chapter 390 – Nidavellir

The great forest created by the circulating life for the elves and the world tree that manages it. Unlike Alfheim, who couldn’t move at once by teleporting because of that.

Nidavalir is surrounded by a mountain range of minerals created by colliding steel, but the teleport is not blocked.

It is because the purpose of making them is different.

The Great Forest was created to protect the elves, and the mineral mountain range was made to forge without worrying about materials.

Well, thanks to that, I can fly to Nidavalir quickly this time, so it’s fortunate for me.

Iona is a god and teleport is invincible!

“Yandel students… Not enough blood…”

“Here you go.”

“Yum.”

Of course, there is a fatal flaw that the fuel economy is devastating… It wasn’t a problem with Iona.

Just suck blood and you’ll be able to recover quickly.

… In fact, I’ve been a high-ranking wizard for quite some time now, and in terms of mana, I’m better than Iona, so I can use teleport.

However, she teleported a few times and wanted to suck her blood, but Iona’s fierce opposition failed.

As if suckling her baby, she gave Iona the nape of her neck and looked around her.

An unknown wide plain. Unlike my women, who are accustomed to enjoying the scenery or taking out a simple chair and resting, Baru had her mouth wide open to the extent that I wondered if it was okay.

To an outsider, there is no magic as intuitive and mysterious as teleport. Even if you don’t know much about magic, everyone knows that teleportation is amazing.

“By the way, Professor. Are you feeling a little bit of magic attribute? You always teleported twice in a row and took a break, but this time you used it three times in a row.”

“Ugh. What do you think?”

“Aha? As much as my blood has gotten better lately, your powers as a vampire have developed a bit more, right? Then, rather than an increase in the amount of mana, it should be seen as an increase in the efficiency of converting her blood into mana.”

“Bruh.”

Since she usually gives blood so often, I can now communicate with her with just mumbling words.

Io affirms, after giving me a rough nod of her head. She opened her mouth to Faye, who was thinking hard about something from earlier.

“Senior Fay.”

“…”

“Senior Fay?”

“… Uh? Ah yes. What’s going on, junior?”

“What were you thinking?”

“Well, you’re going to see her father from now on. It’s a lot better now, but it’s still a little rough. … I’m not going for any good reason.”

But. Suddenly having to face childhood wounds, even saying that person could die. It’s bound to be complicated in many ways.

He lightly patted Faye’s shoulder and said.

“It will be fine.”

“You know what’s going to happen and you’re going to be okay?”

“It’s going to be okay because I’m going to make it okay no matter what happens.”

“… Junior. You know that sounds pretty crappy, right?”

“I only know how to do this.”

I shrugged her shoulders and replied playfully, but it was true.

Ever since I first fell into this world, I had no other options. Either smash everything that gets in your way and see a happy ending… Or collapse

Faye pouted her lips, but soon realized that I was serious and smiled.

“Thank you. But I won’t just wait for help from my juniors.”

“Oh?”

“I’ve been thinking about it ever since the day my junior sponsored me. Raising livestock is to eat meat, and farming is to eat grain, right?”

“Yes?”

“Then, why did my juniors support me and improve my skills? To catch and eat?”

“No…”

I don’t have anything to say about it because it’s true that they are preying on them, but that’s not why I sponsored them.

I was thinking of just growing it like this and hitting a final set.

Fei giggled at my bewildered look and continued.

“I really thought so at first, but not anymore. Junior. Be honest. Did you see my potential through the future you saw in Fafnir’s arrangement?”

“… Well, that’s why I approached it in the first place.”

Hehe. Don’t be so sorry In fact, most of the people gathered here are people with a better future thanks to that arrangement, right? It’s okay because I’m rather grateful. But… Can I really live up to my juniors’ expectations? I was worried about that.”

“Always Fei-senpai…”

“Is it helpful? I know. But I wanted to be more than that. Just as you changed my life, I wanted to lead your life in a better direction. Even if I look like this, I’m a senior, right?”

Saying that, Fay smiled hihi. Is it because I am out in a bright place? Or is it because my mind has been stable for a while?

It was a smile that was more playful than usual.

“So, junior. Leave it to me this time I’ll show you how much I’ve grown thanks to my juniors.”

“I will expect.”

Faye and I look at each other and exchange glances.

There were no more words. But that was enough.

“Kyaaaaagh! Sa, save me, junior… !”

“…”

Was it really enough?

While Iona prepares for the next teleport. She looked at the artificial muscle she was cultivating in her spare time, and smiled bitterly at Faye, who was attacked by tentacles again.

***

Tentacles cultivated at best… No, there was a bit of an accident where the artificial muscle was blown off, but somehow the teleport plaza in the capital of Nidavallir arrived without much trouble.

The huge black steel castle in the distance is impressive, but… The person we will meet is not King Nidavalir, but Lokan Jarl, Fay’s father.

Iona knows that this is the only coordinates of Valir, and since she has to go through simple procedures, she only stopped by briefly. She can’t be smuggled in, can she?

And she also calculated that if she was lucky, she would be able to know the teleport coordinates of the Jarnshard Territory.

As a country with little magic in Nida Valir, there are no teleport squares in quite a few great territories. There is only one in the capital.

Instead, there are railroads that connect the whole country and trains that boast the fastest speed on the continent… Not as convenient as teleporting.

During the immigration process, she revealed her identity and told her where to go, and the nervous official gave her the coordinates of the Jarn Shard estate.

Fortunately, as we expected, the capital knew the basic information of each territory.

Well, I’m just figuring it out, but it’s not information I’m going to tell anyone… Because the identity of our party is not just anyone.

The Jarnshad Territory arrived through the last teleport.

To be more precise, as soon as he set foot in the wilderness a little far from the lord’s castle, Baru, who was originally supposed to be a guide, muttered with an expression as if possessed by a ghost.

“… You arrived in just a few hours.”

“Ah. That is the convenience of magic.”

“However, it is a convenience that only a select few can enjoy. Technology is a convenience that everyone can enjoy over time. Teleport is great, but I personally think the train is better.”

I said it half as a joke, but the serious answer came back.

It was something I could not deny because I knew life on Earth, where science was much more developed than here.

“Maybe. I think we could argue about this all day if we dig deep, but… You have more important things to do now, right?”

“Now I can fulfill my original role. It’s a short distance, but I’ll properly guide you to Jarl’s place, so please follow me.”

After saying that, Baru took the lead and walked out.

The legs are short, but the body goes straight beyond movement. It’s probably the walking aid function of the shoes you’re wearing.

Thanks to this, I was able to follow without having to slow down.

Yarshad lord castle getting closer and closer. Faye, who had been staring at the outer wall, opened her mouth with a slightly hardened face.

“Long time no see. But nothing has changed since the last time I saw you.”

“It hasn’t even been three years since Fei entered the academy. If anything changed in the meantime, how much would it have changed?”

“… I know. I had so many things going on that I didn’t know, but that’s all.”

While Faye laughed. We were finally able to pass through the gate and enter the interior.

Overall, the buildings were small, probably to fit the height of the dwarves. However, strangely, most of the materials were made of heavy metal.

I knew the scenery through H&A, but seeing it in person is even more amazing.

“How amazing. Some kind of family home looks like a fortress.”

“Huh. Yes? I had the same thought when I first came here after living with my mom. I have a reason… That was kind of funny.”

“What is it?”

“Nida Valir is cold, but isn’t it a country with the best mineral veins on the continent? So iron is cheaper than wood.”

“Her… ?”

“There is no need to use wood when there is cheaper and stronger iron.”

It’s ridiculous.

However, there would be nothing that represents the country of Nidavalir or the race of dwarves as well.

Iron is common, and artisans who handle iron are also common. Beyond being proud of your skills, the mindset that blacksmithing is the best deserves to bloom.

… Did Fay say that she would surpass her blacksmithing skills with her alchemy in a place like this and claim the realm?

Is it lack of insight or good perseverance?

Either way, it’s not something that deserves to be treated as someone without Fei.

It was Fay who smiled and explained the surrounding scenery one by one, but the villagers only cast a cold gaze at such Fay or turned their eyes away pretending not to see.

… Seeing this in person is a bit embarrassing.

She tells Fay that although she is an illegitimate child, she is not the daughter of Jarl. But are you ignoring me like that? Aren’t they commoners?

Still, Faye seemed okay, so she put up with it for now. The problem was after arriving in the castle.

“Welcome. Jarl welcomes guests.”

“What?”

The chamberlain nodded her head to Fay, saying that she was welcoming her guest.

In a way, it’s not a big deal, but I know now that I’m used to ‘aristocratic conversation’ by showing my face here and there.

I don’t know why the family head called that, but it’s just saying that you’re not from this family.

Thinking that the culture might be a bit different from that of humans, the dwarf glanced at Fay just in case.

He bit his lip slightly and frowned.

… Her Fay asked her to leave it to herself, but she’ll be fine for once.

“Write.”

He took a deep breath. Then he consciously shouted in a voice mixed with dragon fear.

“Conflict———!!!!”

I don’t forgive the shit sack that cuts out Faye’s heart!
