330 Episode 323 Team Sophie ③ Sato (2)

A team of Sophie's friends headed for the desert on the western side of one of the Allied countries.

Disguised cults and beasts were attacking a desert city surrounded by huge outer walls.

It was the Dark Elves who saved Sophie, who defeated the cults and beasts that attacked the city.

"Excuse me. Was it the Princess of the Elves?"

Sophie was wearing a hood because she had been kept waiting long enough.

A dark elf soldier with grey hair and long ears on brown skin spent a moment understanding who he was.

"Yes, my name is Sofia Rone. Will it be possible for you to visit Lord Alvers, king of the Dark Elves?

"Wait a while!? No, this way."

Having long, pure white hair and golden eyes on clear white skin is a testament to the high elf, the royal of the elves.

He wears a hood, but his long ears are also hidden.

The Dark Elf soldier stared at with his golden eyes was confused.

I was wondering if you'd rescued me from the Beast with some Golem or some other worm beast, and I was the princess of Rosenheim's royal family.

He thought it would be a problem to keep him waiting outside the gate under the bright sun during the day.

Guide the access port attached to the outer wall.

I followed Formar to the front and was told to wait in the waiting room set up inside the outer wall.

"Oh, this is cool."

Unlike Sophie, who was wearing a hood and wearing heat, Merle seemed to be waiting for him in the heat.

Merle sat on the sofa in the waiting room with a Bird A Summoner on his head.

"Yeah, that's right. The Baukis Empire was pretty hot, but we can handle it here."

Sophie sat next to him with that.

Looks like he's standing at the entrance alert to Formar.

"The Dark Elves. You mean Sophie's never been here?

After asking for a moment, Merle waved to Sophie thinking that he was still waiting because he was running out of the waiting room.

"That's right. I've never been here before. The Elder and Her Majesty told me about it, but I didn't expect you to send outsiders so seriously. Maybe the village was protected."

Merle had heard from Sophie about the Dark Elves and where they were.

More than a thousand years ago, the Dark Elves lived in hiding in this vast desert, defeated by a struggle with Elves in Rosenheim.

Dark Elf's Sato Favrase is not a member of the Union and does not accept interference from other countries.

Rosenheim and Dark Elf's Sato Fabrase have minimal diplomatic interaction.

This means that countries are still at war with each other, and diplomacy plays a surveillance role.

There are no diplomat facilities, but only a few times a year each other's diplomatic elders come and go.

"That's right. I was surprised to hear you were heading west."

I see. Was I on your face? "

"That's right. Fufufu"

With no Summoner available, Team Sophie could have predicted going west or east of the Alliance.

Outside the south, support from the northern Bug A Summon Vet Squad will arrive shortly.

After hearing about Meruth's plan to replace the Eight Heroes, Merle, who was told that he wasn't feeling well, won Sophie's victory over me.

"I'm going to ask King Alvers to see you, but it might be a little noisy."

Don't be surprised, Sophie tells Merle in advance.

"Meet the king. I mean, aren't you the queen?

"Yes, the Dark Elves are royalty."

Merle thought the Dark Elves were ruled by the Queen like Rosenheim.

Sophie explains the Dark Elves to Merle because she doesn't know how long she'll be waiting.

Dark elves are ruled by kings.

Only men can be king, but only men with royal children or Presbyterian children can be king.

"Hehe, besides the king's children, you can be king."

"That's the same with Rosenheim. We elves and the elders' children can be queens. Everyone is equal under the world tree."

Rosenheim has no serfs or slaves.

I don't have a family name, and I don't say "Rosenheim Country" when I name my country.

The world of elves under the world tree is called Rosenheim.

And the reason why an elder's child can be king or princess is because it is difficult for both elves and dark elves to have children.

For this reason, only the children of kings and princesses, but also men and women, may not succeed.

Therefore, the children of the elders are also qualified to be kings.

"Elves and dark elves are quite similar. Are there spiritual gods in the Dark Elves?

Because Merle says, "It looks like it", Sophie and Formar's mouth is pulled.

"That's right. This village of Fabrase is blessed by the Spirit King Fabre."

Everything seems to have lived thousands of years longer than the Spirit God Rosen.

Sophie advises Merle to be careful in his use of words against Spirit King Fabre.

Afterwards, he proceeded with Merle's story, including why he had come to the village and how he had met and talked to the king.

"This is why the Princess of the Elves is here."

Talking to Sophie, a Dark Elf soldier who led the waiting room brought in a fairly old man in robe-like clothing.

"Dear Diamnille, it hurts when the Elder takes the trouble to welcome you."

Sophie was a dark elf, too.

Elder Diamnir has been entrusted with diplomacy, and Rosenheim can carry him.

"Welcome... I can't let you in because it's royal...."

Even a royal sophie can't get into the country without a promise.

"Is it difficult? I need to talk to King Alvers."

Sophie keeps talking with a smell without cowardice.

"It looks like you helped me with something I'm not sure about. I'm going to send Rosenheim my best book about you."

It is said that we will do our best formally.

For Dark Elves, it's more important to get them back than to get those who helped them from the Beast into the village.

This is an exchange that shows the relationship between the Elves and the Dark Elves.

But Sophie didn't want to pull anything.

"I'm sorry. Now that I'm talking to you, I'll prepare your meal right away."

That said, Sophie took off the hood she was wearing even in a room without direct sunlight.

And he held the Spirit God hidden in the hood, and made him look like an elder.

I'm sorry I'm trapped in the dark and stroke the back of the sleeping Spirit God.

"What!? Bhaha!!

"Dear Mr. Diamnir!?

Dark Elf soldiers rush toward Elder Diamnir, who has slipped out of his hips.

'Ha ha. Sophie looked like Allen somewhere. "

"No, we don't need you to understand"

That's how Sophie strokes the jaw of the Spirit God.

……

Two Dark Elves are watching the exchange hardened.

"So, Rosen-sama the Spirit God will always be in such a place....."

Sophie says you understand.

"I'll show you around. Soon I will tell you that Princess Sofiarone has come with the Spirit God Rosen!!

"Ok!!

Elder Diamnir tells Dark Elf's soldiers with a slight cut.

I suppose that's what you should tell me if there is a Spirit God.

The Dark Elf soldiers ran ahead with great momentum.

The party entered the Dark Elf's Rifa 'rase from a waiting room set up inside the outer wall with Elder Diamnir.

"Oops!! The desert is full of nature."

"Fufufu, I owe this to the Spirit King Fabre."

Merle was aware of the lush greenery in the air as he rode in Tamtam.

This Dark Elf Rise is a huge one that covers an area of 100 square kilometers, but huge trees lined with tree crowns overlap to block out the light of the sun, and the light of a strong day is like a leaky day.

It feels much cooler than outside the outer wall.

And the dark elves dressed in shimmering clothes looked at Sophie and Merle to avoid the sunlight coming in from between the crowns.

The look on my face that a stranger has arrived.

Nice tree.

Walking, you can see a giant tree from the tree crown.

In the middle of the village, there are more than ten times as many giant trees as there are.

From above Tamtam (Mode Eagle), compared to the giant trees in the middle of the village, the large trees in the village that were covered by the sun looked like grass or koke.

"Hmm. Soon. Soon, this tree will become a world tree."

Elder Diamnir crushed to make a wish.

"That's great."

Sophie spoke naturally and sincerely.

……

Elder Diamnir looked lonely in silence.

"No, I'm sorry. It was an imprudent statement."

"It's good. I can't help blaming Princess Sofia Rone. But I don't want you to say that much in the village. So, are we all surprised? This is it. It's far away, so I want you to ride this."

He said he would guide me to King Alvers, who has a company in the middle of the village.

But the middle of the village is miles away, so we can't let the princess walk that far.

Near the outer wall gate, soldiers bring two small pedestrian dragons.

Even though it is small, it seems to have a body length of more than two meters.

And since the two small dragons are equipped with something like a carriage, they seem to travel on it.

They told me to get in and decided to get in with all three of them.

So Sophie and his men went to King Alvers, who ruled the Dark Elf's Rifa 'rase.
