Chapter 349

Our trip was really smooth until we left the city and entered the second city, as if the pleasantness provided by the bronze statue of Catherine had become a buff.

To be honest, I thought the lord of the first city would do something extra, but there was no reaction, either he thought my going east was a bluff and sent troops elsewhere, or he just decided to stay still.

After a week went by like that, I felt a little better as if I really went on a winter picnic this time.

Yeah, that means I shouldn’t have felt that way. It was a cliché.

“Go to Eldmia.”

While we were having dinner in the second city, a middle-aged man approached and called my name.

Even in the cold winter, he didn’t wear thick clothes to keep warm, but rather to keep his dignity in mind. The rather expensive-looking clothes, neatly trimmed beard, and hair looked like they were far from fighting. Behind him, who has a strict and serious face, stands a smiling young man with the exact opposite look.

Unlike the middle-aged, the guy with the appearance and muscles, far from desk work, showed me the leisure to greet me with a slight nod of his head as soon as my eyes met.

“...even if I try to understand the lives of my humans, I find this disrespect unbearable.”

But surprisingly, it was Celebians who responded to their appearance.

Surprised by his muttering with his molars clenched, he turned his head to see that not only he, but also the other elves looked at the man with three hundred eyes raised and their teeth clenched together. However, the big guy still shrugged and shrugged, and the middle-aged man who accompanied him took a chair and sat down next to me without paying any attention to the elves and listened as he wanted to start talking.

“Your behavior crossed the line. Did the West seem funny?”

There is no hostility in the eyes that look at me. It’s not even a threat, it’s just taking an attitude close to notification.

At the same time, he was a strange pup who believed he was safe now.

“Your behavior also crossed the line? Am I being ridiculous?”

At that moment, the middle-aged man’s forehead was suddenly distorted, but it wasn’t as crumpled as the wounds I got from his actions, so I grabbed him by the back of his head and slammed him into the table.

– Quaang!

“Keah!”

If a man in the face without a chance to understand why raises his head in a hurry, nosebleeds may be sprayed onto the food, so take advantage of the brief moment of pressing as it is to take advantage of the reaction of the surroundings. It was only natural that the surroundings would become quiet for a moment since there was a loud noise, but the guy standing behind the man rubbing his nose on the table was reacting differently than expected.

The middle-aged man, who didn’t show a proper reaction until the moment I reached out and grabbed the back of his head, was, as expected, an ordinary person with no fighting skills. So struggling to die in pain right now wouldn’t be acting. The problem was that the guy standing behind me was just laughing without any restraint, even though he clearly followed my actions.

As if this guy’s well-being doesn’t matter. I naturally turned my gaze to the man and asked.

“I don’t know who that bastard is, but if he’s an elf hunter, even if he comes blind, he’ll just read the atmosphere and hit him. What are you bastards doing?”

“Ah! I-I came here as an envoy! Do you think I’ll be safe even after doing such an ignorant thing!!”

“Is it savvy to bring an elf hunter right in front of the elves? Besides, what kind of envoy?”

Even when the guards were rude, they laughed or passed it off with a sigh. The one who burns hostility to that extent is not a family enemy, but an elf hunter.

However, the famous elf hunter and envoy dressed in clothes are so famous that the elves show obvious hostility. In my experience, I can’t quite understand what combination this is?

“If I kill myself, the signal goes right through this artifact!!”

Suddenly, I raised my hand and put the ring in, which made me even more unhappy.

It reminds me of Rudra’s dog. I wondered if I had believed it, so I checked it through the Magical City, and it was clear that something was working.

“That’s really interesting information, but not exactly what you need right now.”

“Yeah, in a way, it’s a good choice.”

“...what?”

“Your bastard is an envoy, and it was a good decision to come here early. If you had been outside, both of you would have died on the spot.”

It was so rude that he kicked the entire chair he was sitting on, and the self-proclaimed envoy flinched and fell backwards. The elf hunter standing behind me glanced at her, looked at me with a puzzled expression, and opened her mouth again.

“They’re both dead? Do you think you can kill me?”

“You’re a stupid friend.”

When I returned what he had said earlier, with the meaning of asking if I had to ask him to understand, his brows lost their composure for a moment and wriggled. Your pride seems to be filthy.

“...ha. I’ll tell you in advance, there’s a reason why your elf friends see me and grind their teeth?”

“I understand even if you don’t tell me. I’m seeing you for the first time, and my teeth will gnash when I see your face, so go away. I can’t digest it if I eat something like that.”

Of course, it doesn’t really break your teeth. It’s nothing but a provocation. His brow was openly distorted this time.

“I don’t think you’ll die well.”

But that was it. Perhaps he was the type to faithfully fulfill the request, he picked up the self-proclaimed envoy who had collapsed on the floor and left the restaurant, and I quickly stuffed food in to finish the meal.

“...what do you mean?”

Celebian, who had been looking at me without a word while the people around me quietly noticed and spoke again, asked. It was a serious look on the world, but it wasn’t to criticize me. It was more like asking how to really act.

“I’m going to kill you.”

So I said it straight, and he pressed his temple and said.

“You mean you know who that guy is?”

“Should I know? He’s going to die anyway.”

“...That guy is an ear hunter.”

It was a Celebian who spoke solemnly, as if he were a person whose name should not be called, but unfortunately, there was no free space allocated to elf hunters or the like in my brain.

“You may say so.”

Then the other elves let out a deep sigh, and Celebian let out a short sigh and continued his explanation.

“He’s been known as an elf hunter for 10 years. He almost destroyed a tribe in the western region, and the size and skill of the group can’t be ignored. Even if he alone, he’s stronger than a lot of Aura Experts, but he’s not even moving alone.”

“Hmm, that’s great. I’ll be closing my business as of today.”

“That...Wait, today?”

After tearing off the bread and scraping the last remaining stew clean, I got up from my seat and looked around at Celebian and his companions who were still looking at me with a puzzled expression, then nodded briefly.

“today.”

After using the magic poem, traces of the ring worn by the self-proclaimed envoy come into view. It was blurry, but it was more like finding footprints in the forest, so it was worth doing more than I expected.

The fact that they tried to hit me outside the city means they’re going out of the city like this, right? I know exactly where the enemy is, but I have no reason to leave it alone.

“Why do you wait until tomorrow just because you’re pretty?

Surprise is always right.
