Encounter (3)

“…?”
Luna, who had visited with Lopilen for business in the Dinar area, turned her head toward the sky.
I felt Rey moving at a high speed, and when I calculated the direction it was heading towards the Signy Mountains.
Luna frowned.
Rey was still not well and needed a rest.
These days, I’m a bit bubbly, but I was in a wheelchair until yesterday.
But suddenly, at a high speed, I was worried about what would happen again as I headed towards the Signi Mountains.
Staying still won’t solve anything.
Luna immediately materialized the high spirit Kalga.
Luna, who climbed on top of Calga’s huge body, gently bowed her head toward Lopilen.
“…I’ll be there for a while.”
“Yeah, come to work.”
👌👌👌👌👌
The high spirits easily carried a person and soared into the sky.
Looking at the now familiar sight, Lopilen waved her hand calmly.

Jimmy, Matthew, and the knights were very upset when Ray was taken hostage.
I thought that elf bitch couldn’t help but look at people, but this time, Rey started to do something stupid.
Jimmy, Matthew, and the knights looked at each other, and then took a step back from the elf.
Miner, who took Rey as a hostage, was rather embarrassed when things seemed to be going too well.
‘What is the identity?’
Miner looked down at Rey with a puzzled look.
Whose child is it that even Graduate and the Knights can’t easily approach him?
Then Ray shouted at Jimmy.
“father!”
“…?”
“Don’t mind me and cut this bitch!”
Hearing Ray’s wretched cry, Jimmy shook his shoulders and responded with a vomit of blood.
“Oh, son…! I can’t lose you…!”
Jimmy’s face contorted like a demon.
It was the expression of a father who was worried and angry that he would lose his beloved child.
It was only then that Miner understood the situation properly, seeing Jimmy struggling with the pain in his chest.
“It was like that.”
It also explains why the knights couldn’t act recklessly because Graduate had caught the child she loved.
Miner, who had grown weaker, raised the dagger closer to Rey’s neck and shouted.
“If you gossip, you’ll never see your son again!”
It was a better offer than I expected.
Jimmy, who had been terrified for a moment, came to his senses and continued acting.
“Oh, I see. What do you want?”
“Send the horse this way.”
The knights looked at each other and sighed deeply.
I wanted to do it like this, but it was difficult to break the plate now, so I matched it with Ray’s play.
The knight sent two horses towards Miner.
Miner flashed Rey and put it on the horse.
After thinking for a moment, Miner got on the same horse as Rey and cut off the remaining horse.
The horse with its legs cut off cried and collapsed.
“Don’t chase me.”
Miner, who warned in a cold voice, drove towards the Signi Mountains.
Watching Miner disappear and raise the dust, the knights had a complicated expression on their faces.
It didn’t matter that Ray was captured, but it was a shame that the horse got hurt.
Horses with good power riding knights were not easily available animals.
While the knights grunted, Matthew asked in a calm voice.
“Why don’t you go chasing?”
“I have to follow you.”
It was right to keep the distance that could be supported in case of an emergency.
Jimmy, Matthew, and the knights kicked the ground when they thought the distance between them and the elves had increased.
The reason the knights of this world rode horses was to preserve their stamina, not because they were slower than horses.
The knights in armor pounded the ground and ran.

Ray drooped over the running horse and pondered.
What the hell is the reason for this idiot to appear in the Countess of Phillips?
Because of the quarrel between Jenkinson and Didier in the Countess of Osiris, it seemed likely that he was a searcher sent by another noble family.
‘Did Jimmy catch you while you were careless?’
The elves would not have expected the Graduate to be roaming the streets of the Earl of Phillips.
If he assumed the level of an expert and performed stealth, he had no choice but to be discovered by Jimmy.
‘…I will listen to the detailed explanation later, and once I have captured the elf, I will have to discuss with the Count what to do with it.’
Rey waited patiently for the horse to reach the Signy Mountains.
I wanted to get some results because I had even been a hostage before, but seeing what the elves were doing, it looked like they were going to dispose of the hostages as soon as they reached the Signi Mountains.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
Even if the hostage play ended without getting anything, Rey had no regrets.
I was satisfied enough that I enjoyed the role of a hostage for a while.
It was a bit of a risky game, but Rey was confident that he could subdue the accomplices, including the kidnapper, the elf.
Ray’s thoughts were largely correct.
However, Rey did not expect that Luna would use the wind spirit to chase after her because she rode a horse to the Signi Mountains.
When Rey and Miner reached the beginning of the Signi Mountains.
A shadow appeared briefly above his head, then disappeared, and a roar echoed through the mountains.
Wedge love!!!
Miner noticed the abnormality and reflexively stopped talking.
A mighty energy containing the wind was falling from the sky.
Koo!!
A high spirit with a huge body, Kalga, landed on the Signi Mountains.
As soon as Kalgar appeared, the atmosphere split and the trees around them began to be uprooted.
The high spirit Kalga, who drew out all of her power, was like a condensed typhoon.
Miner was overwhelmed by the unexpected appearance of a high spirit.
While all of Miner’s nerves were focused on Kalgar, an intermediate spirit resembling a wolf approached him secretly.
Miner noticed the existence of the intermediate spirit belatedly, but the intermediate spirit that resembled a wolf was already running away with Rey in its mouth.
“Kumyu.”
lost a hostage
Miner later realized his mistake and tried to calm himself down.
However, it was a futile effort.
A disaster that overwhelms even the high spirits has appeared.
Woo-Woo-!!
A stream of pure mana covers the sky.
Even with the high spirit in front of his nose, Miner had to turn his eyes to the sky instead of avoiding himself.
Where Miner’s gaze was directed, a wizard was standing in the air.
The girl with her waving blue hair looked down at Miner with unfeeling silver eyes.
Luna unfolded the magic without asking anything.
Whoops!!
The energy that was previously fixed in the subspace and condensed is released.
The energy released from all five subspaces began to run wildly.
Luna created a new subspace and bound the energy masses that were about to run away.
A lump of energy compressed so densely shook as if it would tear the subspace at any moment.
Luna’s finger pointed to Miner.
The subspace, which is curved in a concave shape, is ready to concentrate the rushing energy into one point.
Ray, who realized the situation later, exclaimed.
“Lu, Luna, don’t kill me!”
If it was hit from the front, the elf would have lost a single piece of flesh.
Hearing Rey’s words, Luna’s fingers moved to the side a little.
The stage of canceling the magic had passed, so I had to shoot it.
“Judgement.”
Wow!!!!!!
A pillar of pure white light swallowed up half of the mountain.
As it is a space-based magic that is shot by concentrating all the energy previously fixed in subspace, its power far exceeds that of ordinary high-ranking magic.
Part of the mountain evaporates and descends like a flat land.
A magical aftermath accompanied by an earthquake resounded through the mountains.
Miner, who was swept away by the aftermath, rolled over for a long time and finally stopped.
Instead of being hit directly, he was only swept away by the aftermath, but blood gushed out of his mouth.
“Keuk…! Kwok…!”
Miner burst into laughter as he vomited blood.
Experts, Graduates, and some high-ranking spirits were running rampant, but now a magic comparable to the highest level of annihilation magic unfolded and struck down in an instant.
Preparations for the manifestation of magic must have been prepared in advance, but even considering that, it was absurd.
According to Miner’s common sense, several high-ranking wizards were needed to properly express this type of magic.
“What here… Is there an Imperial Rebel Secret Command?”
Miner staggered and babbled and looked around.
In order to have the slightest chance of escaping this incomprehensible territory, we had to find the hostages again.
The reason that the wizard was able to shoot the annihilation magic so quickly was because Miner had taken the hostage.
After desperately looking around, Miner was able to find Rey, who was protected by an intermediate wind spirit.
They weren’t very far from each other.
As Miner began to approach, Rey picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and stood up.
“Do you want to continue?”
Tsu!
On top of the dagger Rei was holding, a sword appeared.
Miner, who opened his eyes wide, realized that he had been deceived for a long time and distorted his face.
“These mean human bastards…!”
“Dude, that’s not what you’re talking about.”
Rey twisted the corners of her mouth and brought a dark dagger to Miner’s neck.

“Two horses and one mountain…”
When the Count saw Rey returned from catching an elf at the beginning of the Signi Mountains, he cursed with his eyes.
The loss was too great to be the cost of enjoying a moment’s entertainment.
The knights had to ride a penny or two, and the budget needed to restore the ruined mountain was huge.
This time, Rei also had nothing to say back, so he calmly shook his head.
The Count sighed and summoned the people involved in this matter.
When Matthew testified of the circumstances he had been through, the Count realized what had happened.
“Jimmy, Matthew, you know about ‘Titty’.”
Jimmy and Matthew didn’t know Titty’s exact identity, but they knew that Titty was cursed by the World Tree and kicked out by her fellow elves.
The Count continued talking without hiding his frustration.
“The curse is contagious when her kin gets close to Titty. That’s why she was completely abandoned by her kin.”
If the curse had not been contagious, some of the elves would have looked after Titty.
However, the curse of the World Tree did not allow even him, so a human hero took over her.
The reason Count Phillips settled in such a periphery had to do with the curse.
He had to avoid a situation where Titty would come into contact with other elves as much as possible, so he had chosen an area where elves could hardly be found.
After hearing the story, Ray sighed deeply.
At one point, I thought that the world tree was really f*cking shit.
In any case, the sudden release of hiding in front of the orphanage and the overreaction of the elf after being found out were explained to some extent.

Now that I understood the situation roughly, I had to interrogate the imprisoned elf.
I had to dig out who sent it for what purpose, and if there were any colleagues.
However, no matter how cooperative the elves were, it was difficult to bring them back alive .
