How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

75. I do not know? Are you sorry about this?

Mastrov Forest was a forest that was said to have had a decisive battle between elves and demons in the past.

It is said that the elves who achieved great victories there settled here, believing that it was thanks to the blessings of this land.

It was here that the bodies of his comrades were buried, and this was also the place where new children were born.

Since it was a land with such a history, Mastrov’s elves were extremely reluctant to approach outsiders.

After hearing the story of Marzio III, I understood.

Recently, humans who have rapidly grown in power have begun to expand their territories here and there.

According to Marzio III, this place was also attacked several times.

Not all of them, of course…

A handful of human nobles said that they bought and sold elves as goods, and often used them as toys.

So, I’m not very fond of humans.

Aside from the mastope elves, elves and humans weren’t very close.

‘I heard that a mudfish muddy the whole pond. It’s just like that.’

In novels and movies, there are many settings where humans and elves don’t get along.

But it was just an empty word that didn’t touch me much.

Moreover, in Pao God, the beginning of the story was already in an apocalyptic state.

That’s why I hadn’t even thought about a relationship with an elf.

However, when I felt this with my skin, the reality I faced in person was harsher than that.

Execution!

Stepping into the Mastrov Forest.

I don’t think I went too deep, but I was able to realize it while watching the elven warriors face each other like this.

“I hope you don’t think about coming into the forest anymore. We don’t want to see blood either.”

The elf standing at the front shouted at us.

No favors were seen anywhere.

It’s just full of flesh.

‘The number is not small.’

Right now, there were only five of them in front of me.

But in fact, elves were aiming at us everywhere with their bows drawn all the way.

With my third eye, I could definitely feel it.

By the way, what

We’re not here to fight.

I didn’t dare to live like them.

“I came to talk with the elder.”

“I have nothing to share with you, so I am telling you to go back.”

Yeah, I knew it would be like this.

Can you speak at once?

Because of that, I had something prepared.

Anticipating this to happen, there was one request I made to King Marzio III just before departure.

Let me slip my hand gently to get it out of my bosom.

Whoop!

An arrow flew towards my feet from the other side.

It must have been a warning that I would hit you in the head next time…

Tup!

Rather, with my free hand, I snatched the arrow before it went through.

With this move, the one giving the warning changed to me.

“……!”

The expressions of the elves changed unexpectedly.

An arrow loaded with the blessing of the wind spirit.

Compared to what ordinary humans and Orcs used, it had a superior advantage in terms of speed.

However, I was surprised to catch it flying from a blind spot.

I opened my mouth as much as I could without losing my composure.

“From now on, I hope you don’t recklessly attack me first.”

Dduduk!

I break the arrow

I took the item out of my chest and showed it to the elves.

“That, that’s… the lost Elder’s ring? Why is it there…!”

The atmosphere changed in an instant.

* * *

Me, Diaz and Grendel.

The three of us set foot in the city of elves like that.

very comfortable.

It was so easy to enter that even the elves guarding the castle looked at us curiously.

Curious Grendel also seemed to have doubts.

“What the hell is that ring about that makes them react like that?”

I answered him

“The Lost Elder’s Ring.”

“A ring? What is it that lets you in like this?”

“Because it’s worth it for the elves. For them, it’s like a bible that has a direct connection to their roots.”

“Is it worth that much…was it worth it?…”

Grendel’s eyes widened.

“But how does Lord Rohan have it…”

I smiled at her.

“That’s right.”

In fact, this was something that only those who experienced the original work could obtain.

No, time passes later.

After the Great Invasion and many casualties.

A great conference is held where the elder elves, who have had little contact so far, gather together.

And while talking at the conference, the lost Elder’s Ring was mentioned.

It was the ring that was found by putting together the memories of many Elders like a puzzle.

‘It was unimaginable before the Great Invasion.’

As the story progresses, the player builds a friendship with an elder.

Beat the quest to find the Elder’s Ring that was lost from him.

Thanks to this, when I got the lost Elder’s ring, my intimacy with the Elf increased rapidly from then on.

‘At that point, I’ll be able to use rarer items and magic.’

The part that became a kind of turning point was the Lost Elder’s Ring quest.

Of course, it wasn’t easy to get as much as those rewards followed.

The ruined kingdom of Hesete.

Because I had to go through the monsters and get it.

But, things are very different now.

Thanks to my first move, the kingdom of Hesete did not perish.

The monsters were no longer in full swing.

You don’t even have to go…

‘It can’t be this easy since the king ordered people to be sent.’

If you just say it, everything is solved.

And I also entered this Mastrov Elf city on foot at a leisurely pace.

In the meantime, we arrived at something like a drawing room designed to welcome guests.

“Soon the Elder will come.”

“i get it.”

after he disappears

Diaz let out a big breath.

It seemed that he was quite tense.

“Whoa. I never thought I’d come all the way here quietly…”

“Why. Did you think I would break through everything with my own strength?”

Diaz smiled softly at the question that hit the point.

“If it’s Rohan-sama… I don’t think it’s impossible.”

“Isn’t that overestimating it too much?”

“Never.”

Diaz smiled.

Grendel was surprised.

“You are very pretty because you smile.”

Diaz’s face turned red in an instant, as if he had never heard such a word.

even the ears.

“Keuk, kuhm.”

After saying that, Grendel casually asked me a question.

“Do you like people who smile a lot?”

“What?……”

“It’s a big deal. I don’t know how to laugh very well.”

She forced the corners of her mouth up.

A worldly awkward smile covered her face.

“……”

“……”

What kind of thoughts come out and the story continues like that?

While wondering, an old elf came in from outside.

* * *

“Frosrao, the elf of Mastrov Forest.”

“It’s Rohan.”

I got up from my seat and greeted him.

“Rohan. Nice to meet you. In the last hundred years. You are the first. A human to set foot on this land.”

“I didn’t know.”

“That means you are a special guest.”

“It’s not that I’m special, it’s that this is special.”

“……”

Let’s take out the lost Elder’s ring from your bosom.

The Elder Frost’s eyes twinkled.

“If you’re not rude, would it be all right if I see you for a moment?”

“It’s a precious item, so I’d like you to handle it gently.”

With that said, I handed the ring to Pross.

He cherished the ring.

After looking at it for a while, I saw the face of Pross change little by little.

Perhaps he recognized that it was genuine.

His hands trembled slightly.

“This is……Really……How can it be…Heh heh…”

Pros, barely freed from that feeling, turned his gaze back to me.

“How do you, a human being, have this?”

“In my dream, an elder elf showed me the way. And he told me to take this to you.”

Of course it was a lie.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been tired lately, I’ve been sleeping soundly without dreaming.

Still, this much was necessary to fool an old serpent of the age of an elder.

No, actually, even this wasn’t enough.

To that, I added words only the elders knew.

“And he told me this. Elder, the leader of the elves, is willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of balance in Middle-earth.”

“that……!”

“The Elder Frost of the Mystrov Elves. I need your help.”

“Heh… I wonder what kind of Elder he is. I mean he appeared in your dreams.”

I don’t know.

because there is no such thing

I shrugged.

“First of all, I’d like to hear what the help is.”

“The Vampire Lord Orhel is destroying one of the human kingdoms. So, I came looking for a sealing sphere that can seal Orhel.”

“Lord Orhel?…”

After hearing that, the elf who seemed to be Pross’ adjutant spoke up.

“Elder. It’s impossible. You have to kick it out right now.”

“……”

huh?

What’s the situation?

The moment Orhel’s name came out, the air changed completely.

Pross seemed to be still thinking about it, but the expression of the elf standing next to him was not very good.

It was then.

“Ah. Loud, beep.”

It seems that Pico, who was sleeping in my arms, was awakened by a voice.

He rubbed his eyes with his wings and crawled out.

“Huh? Where is this place? Beep.”

Suddenly, he started looking around.

In a very serious situation, why is he waking up and doing this again?

“Huh? Pros? Isn’t the little Pross? Peep?”

Isn’t Pico suddenly pointing his finger at Pross with his wings?

what is this again

“Hey! It’s been a while, Beep! You’ve grown a lot since then? Beep.”

“……?”

“Don’t you know me? Are you sad about this? Beep. When you were rolling around crying, I saved you with a fire, beep.”

Pross’ adjutant frowned as he listened to the story.

“You bastard! What are you talking about? This is the head of the elves!

“for a moment.”

Pros blocked his mouth.

And then.

“Could it be… a phoenix?”

“Yeah! It’s me. Beep. I ended up like this because I was resurrected. Beep.”

“……!”

“Nice grow up, Peep. Oh, this is my new master, Peep.”

Pico pointed at me with his wings.

Elder Frost shook his head.

“Lost the Elder’s ring, even the phoenix. Unbelievable things happen one after another in the morning…”

His eyes, which had been shaken by the adjutant’s voice, were now fixedly looking at me.
