Chapter 356: An Easy elf, An Easy Elena (3)

‘Good. It’s good.’

It seemed like something had just passed, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. This was because what was important at this moment was Elena’s reaction.

She looked to be speechless, but then, she took her breath as if she was so relieved by my normal condition.

It seemed to me that she was very surprised by the sudden situation.

Her ears were trembling, and her emerald hair was sweaty, but she thought it was more urgent to take care of me than to take care of herself.

“Are… are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m okay, Elena.”

“I’m glad. I’m really glad.”

This turned out to be a pretty good event.

Looking at her reaction, the result didn’t seem to be bad either. I think it had been a little impulsive, but there’s certainly merit.

Elena had a legendary-grade class and legendary-grade attribute with magic power and luck stats over 90. She was talented with her innate quality of magic, and she was someone who was expected to have a powerful impact on the Kingdom of Eberia.

If it were before, I would have tried to bring her to my side at any cost.

I hadn’t been much hung up on talents because my life had improved a lot by now, but being able to take her as a pet was a good enough reason to take on the risk.

The dice had been thrown in a very easy way. Since I had decided to move, it was better to do it properly.

“You don’t look well… did anything happen? Maybe you’re feeling worse…”

“No. It’s nothing like that. Yes. It’s not that, but… Yes. Yes… Absolutely not. Rather, how do you feel right now?”

“I don’t know. I feel a little more comfortable than usual.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes.”

“I… see.”

“I don’t know how on earth this happened, but thank you.”

“What?”

“It’s just that you’ve stayed with me like this again.”

“Ah… Yes. It’s nothing. I just did what I had to do.”

“Perhaps Elune’s revelation…”

“Yes?”

“It looks like it really exists.”

“…”

“Actually, I was a bit aware that I had only days left to live, Elena-nim.”

“What? You knew…?”

“Of course, I couldn’t diagnose what exactly it was, but it was constantly sending signals here and there. In fact, I was giving up halfway… I also thought a lot about whether the role that was given to me only came this far.”

“…”

“Elena said that Elune had a revelation for me… Maybe I have a little more reason to stay on this continent. Something more important than what happened at Laios. Haha. Cough. Cough.”

“Lee Kiyoung-nim!”

It was quite the spectacle to see her holding both my hands in a hurry. The anxiety had never left her face.

“Yes… Yes! I think so, too. There must be a reason Elune ordered me to help the Honorary Cardinal. Yes. Definitely. And… Yes. And there may be another reason to… why we met.”

‘As expected, she would think like that.’

“Another reason… What do you mean…?”

“N-Nothing. It’s nothing.”

I saw her with her head bent. Although she looked uncomfortable, her red face, for some reason, showed that she was harboring many thoughts. This was only natural.

‘Has she ever held a man’s hand properly?’

She was an elf who had been stuck in the forest for nearly 200 years. She was also a character who seemed very ignorant about the relationship between men and women in the first place.

Elena didn’t feel uncomfortable holding my hand freely for a handshake, or putting her hand on my chest for treatment. She wasn’t aware that the treatment practice so far was in contact with the opposite sex. It was just a process of treating a patient.

However, when the setting was changed, then her mindset would change as well.

Once she started to recognize it, it meant that simple treatment actions would no longer be the same as before.

For a girl with many dreams, the subject of God’s will or destiny was a subject that she could only nod to.

When I considered that the lines appearing in the numerous romance novels distributed throughout the continent were all about the will of God, revelation, and guidance, and destiny, the answer to taming her was obvious.

Even in her imagination, it would be the background where this bullshit would work, but what happened to her had been a reality.

I couldn’t expect a complete change, but she would definitely be conscious of me.

‘No, I could do it much faster than I thought.’

Once I had built a quick but solid relationship, it was easy to push things into her head.

No, I didn’t even need to push. Hopefully, I might be able to get things done smoothly without such a task. There was no choice but to keep nodding. It was then that I felt cold energy somewhere.

“Ah…”

A pair of eyes were seen through the small window that was open for me to see the outside situation.

I was quick to realize that Jung Hayan was looking inside with her face close. It felt like a snake scanning my back.

‘Shit.’

I felt guilty for a moment, but when I saw Jung Hayan slowly removing her face from the kiln, I realized that she had not figured out the situation.

She was just wondering what I was doing.

When I saw her worried face, I felt my conscience being stabbed. I wasn’t a complete douche after all.

‘I’ll do better, Hayan.’

Although it was a useless commitment, it was only natural to suppress the remorse that had been raised for a while.

Now, I had to start with the immediate situation. It was when she was constantly checking my knee that I heard a sound.

Craaack!

Baaaaaaang!!!

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

The first thing I heard was a loud voice. I had no choice but to cover my ears momentarily by the sound of a tearing voice.

I don’t know why, but I felt a huge impact on the kiln.

I momentarily looked outside through the small window, but the party members could not be seen. No, her body was crashing inside the small kiln where she was rolling and falling through.

No wonder Elena and my body had gotten tangled. I thought I had to fix my body somehow, but it was not easy to chant spells in this situation.

‘What the hell is this? Fuck!’

It was evident that the stallions, whether it was an Elven Knight or what, had an accident.

I wondered if Jung Hayan caused this, but the possibility of this was zero. It was hard to imagine a scene where she was hurting me even if I were to simulate hundreds of times.

If she had wanted to kill Elena, she would’ve done it instead of attacking the wagon.

‘It’s an accident.’

In this context, it was only correct to think so. No wonder I thought I was off guard.

I should have expected something to go wrong from the time the elves moved awkwardly.

I didn’t know if Kim Hyunsung or Jung Hayan was currently pursuing us, but if they were in combat or were in a special situation, there was a possibility that I could be completely isolated.

It was rather poisonous not to know what the situation was doing outside.

I shouldn’t have blocked the sound.

Fortunately, this kiln was very strong, but it seemed to have come down to a very deep place seeing that it kept falling even after a long time had passed.

I didn’t know how far it was going to fall, but I knew I had to do something about it.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Da… mn!”

Crack!

Bang!

Craaack!

However, even that was not easy.

I could hear the kiln being hit by external objects, with various sounds resonating. If it weren’t for the spells put on for safety, they would have already been broken.

‘What about using floating magic?’

Considering that wizards like Jung Hayan, Hwang Jeong-yeon, and Han Sora could not afford to catch me, the situation may be worse than I had initially expected.

There was no more light coming through the windows.

As I hugged Elena desperately and clapped her hands, the dragon’s tail emerged and began to wrap around her body.

The protection magic outside the wagon must protect us, but as there were situations that we did not know, we must prepare as much as possible in order to protect our bodies.

‘Shit. Shit.’

The moment I heard a great sound, I fluttered, but there was nothing wrong with the body compared to the sound.

Strangely, the wagon had not gotten broken in the first place.

I didn’t know how many layers of defense magic had been put on it, but it was rewarding to have had it.

‘Our wizards are capable.’

Meanwhile, it was pitch black when I tried to look outside.

As I chanted the spell a little, my surroundings began to glow slowly with a bit of light. As I raised my body in an ambiguous posture, I saw Elena trembling while hugging me tightly.

Seeing the flinching and moving ears, it seemed that she didn’t know about this situation.

Of course, I was the same. I wondered how a well-going expedition could reach such a close.

As soon as I bit my lips, Elena, who had her face pressed right over here, slowly began to talk to me. There would be no need to explain how the expression was.

“Lee Kiyoung. How on earth did this happen?”

“I don’t know in detail. I think we fell after being shocked by something…”

“Where are we?”

“I’m not sure either. Nothing can be seen outside… First of all, it would be a good idea to check the outside situation. In the worst case, I think you should think about that when we’re far from your party. It is possible that we are isolated.”

“Then…”

“For now.”

The first thing to do was check where this was, and if there were people who had also fallen.

I rummaged through the infinite bag that Kim Hyunsung gave me, and immediately took out the dragon breath potion. As much as that event could happen, I got ready to get out.

I could see Elena looking at this side with an anxious expression, but I had to open the door of the kiln slowly for now.

The shrieking sounds heard from outside was exceptionally loud.

I looked around while swallowing, but I couldn’t see anything as if the pupil was quite bulky.

That was when something fell from the sky. I wondered if it might be the lovely returner who had come to me, but what I saw was a completely unexpected figure.

‘Shit.’

It was not even alive.

Reflected in my sight was the upper body of an elf.

“This is terrible…”

My lips had begun to dry.
