Sina opened the window. Even in the dark far away, I could see a dragon flying, dragging a darker darkness.
"Kehere Bea Luarua Doom."
Dragon's dreary voice spread through the winter air. Sina got goose bumps all over her body.
She could understand what the word meant.
"Get up, dead men."
Sina murmured like that. Soon she clenched her teeth and took off the clothes she had been wearing.
And ran downstairs like flying.
*******
Lumiere was full of energy and said, pulling out a sword.
"Is it true what I'm looking at?"
Ross held his breath and raised the shield.
"When the dead Masu body awaken?"
"Right."
Lumiere said so and then looked back at him.
"Inside!"
Ross was puzzled to see Lumiere running down the wall.
I can't believe you left your seat without permission.
"Ah!!"
But soon Ross realized. Some of the dead bodies from the wall were collected in the courtyard.
They were the ones that the therapist said could use as medicine.
But if there's a dead body now-
Ross began to run along Lumiere.
Even in the dark, the sky mansion was bright thanks to the ice crystal lamp.
However, even if it is bright, there is a limit.
"Kyakk-!"
"Monster!"
The sound from the courtyard added more force to Lumiere's feet. As I entered the courtyard, I could see the monks staggering to catch people.
Two bears and one dog.
Then one person came into Lumiere's eyes at a glance.
He tried hard not to call her name like a scream. We shouldn't distract Sina.
Holding the shield firmly, Sina was blocking the bear monster's claw attack.
"I should've taught you a life."
He murmured so low and ran and cut the bear's hair in one gulp. The monster whose head was cut off was staggering and standing on both feet.
"Lumie!"
Lumi frowned at her as Sina shouted.
'Can we kill this?'
At that time, something hit the bear and a flame suddenly broke out.
Lumiere looked up, and Ran with a pale face was holding something on fire.
"Firebomb?"
Sina made a strange voice, and Ran threw the bottle hard again.
This time, Lumiere walked away from the miss and set the direction. When the glass bottle was kicked as if it was pushing it away, it was hit on the back of another bear monster, and the flames flared up again.
"Kraghh!"
Unlike a bear without a neck, a bear with a neck stumbled and fell down.
"Ahhhhh!"
At another scream, Lumiere ran and took care of the dog- like beast. Ran ran over and shouted.
"Get the wounded inside!"
The monster who had been bitten and torn by Masu were moved inside, and the dead were gathered on one side.
Ran felt her hands shaking. But don't be nervous.
She tried to act calmly.
At that time, a dog monster with only his body left hit Ran.
"Madam!"
"Master!"
"Ran Unnie!"
Everyone shouted at the same time, and Ran tried to kick the dog. I could see the decapitated neck before my eyes.
Someone reached under her arm and pulled her back, and flames fell on the back of the dog monster. Ross kicked the dog on fire.
Ran gasped.
"Are you all right?"
Ran nodded at Lumiere's words. She felt her heart pounding wildly.
"The clothes are all torn."
Sina ran over and said, Ran looked down at her clothes. The clothes were all torn and messed up.
It seemed to have claws.
"It's okay, I'm wearing armor inside."
At Ran's words Sina's touched her face with relief.
Lumiere said.
"We're going back. And Sina."
Sina flinched and shrugged her shoulders. Lumiere said lightly on her forehead.
"Good use of the shield."
Sina laughed without realizing it, and Lumiere went back to the wall with Ross, saying, "See you later."
Ran sighed.
"Sina is amazing."
When she said, Sina opened her eyes wide, saying, "Yes?" and Ran smiled awkwardly.
"I wish I had ironed the sword or spear well."
"What do you mean?"
Sina said, helping to make the Ran happen.
"If you use a sword or a spear well, it's just a pawn. You look at the big country. General! Staff! That's even greater."
What's the point of having a soldier?
In Sina's words, Ran said, "Is that so?" and gained a small greeting.
"But it's a big deal. If the monsters you saw were dead again ·····."
Ran nodded at Sina's words. How demoralizing the dead would be for the soldiers to rise again.
There may be people who desert.
"It's a real dragon."
Ran turned around because she could hear a voice that could not be there at that time.
Haresh squinted and looked at the darkness.
"No, isn't that a complete drag?"
"Haresh!"
"Even if you don't call me that loud, you know my name."
While saying so, Haresh smiled. Then a person wearing a robe appeared next to him.
Haresh said, "I think it's a good time. This is our wizard."
"Simply a wizard, it's hard to translate."
Inside the robe, an official language with a musical echo was heard. A white hand turned the robe back.
Silver eyes with white silver feet that seem to sparkle starlight.
The pointed-eared elf smiled gracefully.
"It's not a wizard, it's El-Fasera."
Ran murmured unknowingly at the words.
"Forest Keeper ····."
The elf grinned at the words.
"That sounds more like an orphan. That's right. I think that would be more right. My name is Shareia."
"Ram Romia De Lazia."
Ran spoke with utmost courtesy while thinking about her destruction, which was almost a mess. Shaleia smiled again.
"I hope to establish diplomatic relations with Lazia. May our friendship last forever."
"Hope it goes with the time of world tree."
When Ran retorted, Shareia said with a more pleasant look.
"Well, we're gonna have to kick that out. It's a gift for you, but can I use it in advance?"
Then Shareia took a branch out of her sleeve.
'World tree!'
I couldn't even speak.
Did you bring the world tree branches as a gift for friendship?
Shaleia grinned and raised branches and shouted.
"El-El De Hara, Mum Luhr, Alum!"
Then the gentle light began to fill everywhere, exploding from the branches. It wasn't dazzling, but I couldn't see it straight.
Light quickly spread over the walls to the ice wall.
"Senedara, Cadaum! Cadaum!"
There was a dragon howling. Sina and Ran also understood what It's meant.
Be cursed, be cursed, be cursed.
After a while, the light of the branch faded, and Shaleia politely lifted it with her hands and handed it to Ran.
"I hope you're greening."
Ran accepted the branch and greeting.
"The essence of green to you."
Haresh said to Ran.
"I smell blood."
"Oh, I was fighting a monster a while ago."
I know even if you don't tell me I look terrible now.
Ran rubbed her face. Blood splashed from the cut neck and her face would have been a mess.
"No, you're injured."
Then Haresh pointed to her thigh.
Ran looked over there blankly. I couldn't see well because of the tear of the dress.
"Ran!"
Then I heard Eustaf's voice over there.
"Eus!"
"Are you all right? What the hell was that light just now?"
"I'm fine. Light came from the branch they brought me. Oh, this is Shareia, the Forest Keeper."
"I don't think this is the right time to introduce it."
As soon as Haresh said so and touched Ran's thigh, Ran almost fell screaming in pain. Eustaf caught her like that.
"Ah, eu-"
Ran groaned softly.
No, How can it hurt so much all of a sudden?
'I guess I didn't even know I was sick with adrenaline.'
Eustaf clenched his teeth and held Ran up.
"Let's go inside. You two, too."
Then he strode inside.
*******
Ran was treated by Haresh, changed her clothes, and headed to the meeting room with Sina's help.
Shareia, Haresh, and Eustaf were waiting in the pearl room.
Perhaps the three were already talking, but when she came in, they stopped talking and looked back at Ran.
"How's the wound?"
Ran nodded at Haresh's words.
"It's a little throbbing, but it's okay."
Shareia pointed at the chair with a worried face and said.
"Sit down."
Ran almost laughed.
It is impossible in human manners for a guest to offer a seat to her master.
But I guess it doesn't matter to the Elves.
Ran sat on the chair that Eustaf took out. The thigh was tripped by the toenail, but fortunately it wasn't that big a wound.
'Still, being sick is sick, but...'
Ran sighed like that and asked Eustaf.
"The Wall? Is okay?"
"Yes, because of the light, both Masu and the Dragon have receded."
"That's a relief."
Ran swept her chest out of relief. She then thanked Shareia. Then Shareia smiled.
Tall as an elf, she was nearly 180 centimeters tall, and she looked beautiful in perfect proportions.
"We arrived at the perfect time."
Eustaf said with a rare low smile.
"The Dwarfs were angry that they only took the good part."
Ran laughed at the words as well. I could see that Passen was jumping.
"You've got friends on-the-ground. I really remember the fight from a thousand years ago."
Shalea said as if she were surprised. Ran asked carefully.
"You said we should establish diplomatic relations."
"Yes, so I actually wanted to send an army, but...it was almost impossible when I thought of the human countries that would have to live on the way here."
At Shareia's words, Ran groaned low.
Her words are not wrong. The distance between the Elves and Lazia at the west end was considerable.
'But ·····'
Ran looked at Shareia.
Forest Keeper.
A noble guide.
A world-class priest.
"I didn't expect the Forest Keeper to come in person."
"I've always wanted to come. And I'm glad I came in person."
Shareia smiled and asked Sina.
"Is this your first Elf, stranger?"
Sina was surprised and her cheeks turned red. I must have seen it too much, said Sina because she was embarrassed.
"There's no Elf in my world."
"I see."
Shareia nodded. Sina asked carefully.
"What was that light earlier?"
"It's the moonlight and the starlight that were condensed in the world water."
Shina was constantly amazed by Shareia's words.
'World water, starlight and moonlight, what a fantasy.'
"Then I can't use it twice."
When Ran asked with a serious face, Shareia nodded.
"Yes, it's not the number of the world, it's the branch that was cut off, so that's all I compose. You'll have to plant it in a sunny place and wait a hundred years to recomposed it."
"Then if you use the same magic again ······."
"We need to find another way."
Ran sighed at Shaleia's answer. Shareia looked at Ran and said to Eustaf.
"I saw the darkness earlier."
Then she held her hands in front of her and clasped them.
"There's a mix of darkness and dragons."
Eustaf nodded.
"Some parts are real, and the other parts are flat, shadowy."
Shareia pulled out the pods.
"It would be best if we could separate them."
"How?"
When Ran asked back, Shareia seemed to be lost in thought for a moment.
"You have to do it yourself."
As Eustaf poked his eyes at Shaleia's words, Ran said, "Ah."
"Then I had a dream. It was like a dream of Iveria coming out... She only said one word, 'the Viridescent Crown'."
"The Viridescent Crown."
Ran said because Shareia looked suspicious.
"Let's get it."
After a while, the maid carefully brought the crown.
The crown, which consisted of platinum, diamonds, and large, transparent emeralds, was always beautiful.
Shalea lifted it lightly and looked around.
"I think there's something there."
She frowned. The silver eyes looked like mirrors, Ran thought for a moment.
"But I don't know. It's too faint."
"Why does she appear in my dreams?"
When asked by Ran, Shareia smiled faintly and said.
"It's because Madam Ran is the owner now."
When Shareia said so, she held out a Crown to Ran, and Ran took it with her hands.
"Try keeping it close to you."
Ran nodded.
