The village chief Mr. Lavery’s proposal was not spontaneous.
It is said that it was the conclusion that I came to after going through enough discussions for two days when I lost my consciousness. It is said that the damage that the ear hunter was giving to the elves was so great, so it seems that it was a wise choice to solve it with a surprise attack before he finished his preparations. Hunting makes a big difference depending on how thoroughly you prepare.
“Of course, the fact that you are a monumental human race who heard the words of the World Tree also had an impact. There were various opinions other than armor... But after hearing from Celebian, it seems that your weapons are already at a level that is overflowing. Friendship Since the token has already received the seed of the World Tree, it will be useless, so the opinion that armor is the best thing came out.”
Certainly, among the things I wore, if I had to pick one of the worst quality, it would be my armor. It was just plain leather armor.
Until recently, there was no problem, so I just wore it, but I was worried about the minor scars I had while fighting the ear hunters, so I planned to get a set of useful armor with the power of my thick pockets when I went back to Ethiel.
“It’s not as good as the dwarves’ armor, but it’s surprisingly strong compared to its weight. How is it?”
“...Then I’ll be grateful.”
For a moment, I wondered if I would just pay for it and ask Mr. Balkun to make a custom order... But after seeing it today, I wouldn’t come back again, and in the end, it was a place where I had to visit Asilie once more.
At that time, if the person who refused their sincerity wears armor made by the Dwarves, it will cause unnecessary gossip, so it would be better to just accept what they give. I was curious about what the elves’ armor was like, so there was nothing wrong with it.
“Haha, I’m glad. I’m not saying anything empty. The blacksmith in our village is pretty good. One day, when he suddenly grabbed a hammer, I thought he was crazy, but seeing that he’s knocking down 1300 years, he’s right.”
“...1300 years?”
“Chief. This year is 1354.”
“Oh, was that so? I’m getting older, so my memory is a bit hazy. Heh heh heh.”
While having a conversation with a strange sense of déjà vu, ‘It could be.’ Unlike Celebian and Mr. Lavery, who laughed haha, hohoho with such answers, I felt a cold sweat running down my back.
Fuck, this is why I’m afraid to talk to Jangsaengjong. How old are these old people?
“Every time I couldn’t last for a century and changed jobs, so I thought it would be like that without fail. After all, life is always unknown.”
According to the explanation that follows, there is a little bit of a unique corner, but the skills are certain.
Just as dwarves are craftsmen and architects from birth, elves are hunters and forest keepers from birth. Because likes and dislikes are thoroughly divided, it is an established theory in the academic world that even with such a long lifespan, elves cannot surpass dwarves’ skills as a racial unit.
I’ve never seen the country of the dwarves myself, but rumors say it’s at the level of watching arcane punks alone in a medieval fantasy world. At least, I couldn’t find anything like that in the elves’ villages or the territory of the World Tree, so there wouldn’t have been any change in their natural behavior.
In such an environment, an elf who has devoted over a thousand years to blacksmithing has emerged, but how can I treat her as normal? If you listen to the conversation that goes on in front of your eyes, it is said that you are constantly interacting with the dwarves.
These are the same Jangsaeng species and villagers, so they just say that it’s good. I’m very sorry and sorry for the person I couldn’t even see, but I can’t help it.
‘Yes... Shelebian told me...’
‘My son-in-law can take good care of Asili!
‘What can I say... I will treat you more preciously than my own life, father-in-law...’
Fuck.
I’d rather not even remember. I don’t think it was a slip of the tongue, but it wasn’t something I wanted to say while drunk.
When I woke up from the bed, Mr. Arwell quietly opened the door and entered, handing me a cup of tea with a happy face.
“It’ll help you get rid of a hangover. He’s a good drinker.”
“It was difficult because I felt like I was overdoing it more than usual. Thank you.”
“Haha, just staying sober is amazing. You said you’re going to Rummings’ forge today? Celebian just got up and is getting ready. My wife is brewing a soup that’s good for hangovers, so even if you’re tired, eat some.”
It was an offer I really, really wanted to refuse, but I was defeated by curiosity this time. I was very curious about what the elves who like alcohol like this would do for themselves. In the end, the moment I somehow reacted and left the room with Mr. Arwell, a familiar smell stung my nose.
“The scent is... very nice.”
“Hahaha. Don’t give it too much space. You might not like it because it’s a soup with only vegetables.”
Mr. Arwell’s words that only elves eat food have not even entered his ears. Because I already knew a smell similar to this one.
I went down the stairs on the second floor, which I don’t even remember how I got there, and entered the restaurant. The Enderinia family’s brothers and sisters, who were wearing bamboo statues just like me, and Celebians greeted me with smiles. It wasn’t so bad that the distance narrowed in an instant due to yesterday’s drinking party.
“It may not suit your taste, but you’ll feel more comfortable after eating it, so let’s eat at least a little bit.”
Saying that, I smiled heartily when I saw the clear soup in the bowl that my wife Himir gave me.
“It looks very delicious. I will eat well.”
What was placed in front of my eyes was bean sprout soup itself, with no visual or smell.
When I ate it with a spoon, there were differences in details, but the taste was similar. In the kingdom, people who don’t eat because they look bad were among the most abundant ingredients.
It was so friendly that I forgot even the pain of a hangover, and after finishing the two bowls, I got up with Celebian and headed to the blacksmith with experience in 1354.
I hope you are a normal person.
