38 – Elven Forest – 2

I opened my mouth while recalling the memories I had heard from Evangeline about her brother.

“I’ve heard that you’re an alchemist.”

“Yes. She is an alchemist with a promising future in the Wings of Light clan.”

When the plague began to spread, while making medicine for the investigation and research, he often came into contact with the patient, and then the plague was transmitted.

Even in such a situation, he continued to research and overdo it, and eventually the disease deepened and the undead was progressing.

Around the time I heard all the explanations from Lorelia, I found a place where there were armed elves along with barriers.

And, beyond that, the village was visible.

A village with an idyllic atmosphere centered on tall trees that tower so high as to pierce the sky.

The huge forest village, the same size as the city, had the aura of death, the opposite of the vitality of the forest.

That is the center of the plague. It is the town of the Wings of Light.

“Chief.”

As Lorelia arrived, the elven soldiers on alert turned their attention to me. Seemingly aware of the wariness in their gaze, Lorelia raised a hand to stop them.

“This is the so-called wise man. He knows about the plague and knows the cure, so stop being vigilant.”

“However…”

Despite her words, the eyes of the elves did not change. Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand.

From their point of view, the plague spread suddenly. But if a human pops out of nowhere and claims that he knows about the plague, who will believe it?

Even more so, as they are steeped in the ideology of elves and chosen people.

As if you, a human, could cure a plague that even elves couldn’t cure? He was sending contempt and arrogance.

So I had no choice but to ask Lorelia.

“Am I just going back?”

“Ummm… It’s okay. I’ll go in with you.”

“Chief. It’s dangerous inside.”

“If the chieftain gets the plague… In the situation where there is no priest right now… If at least Lieutenant Yeonhwa comes, go.”

“I can use holy power. Heal.”

The heal I cast settled on an elf’s body. At that moment, the healed elf frowned.

The reason was simple. The skill I use is the divine power used in the church.

He was displeased that something other than the divine power based on the tree of healing, the biggest religion in the elven forest, had dwelled within him.

They are a truly arrogant race.

I can’t even hit you…

“Human. Don’t mess around.”

“Hmm. Well, I have nothing to say if you say something like this.”

“Still, it seems that there is divine power. But the chief can’t. If you go in, there will be others, so join them.”

It doesn’t matter, since there’s no particular need to go with Lorelia. The elf who was healed by me bit his lip and opened the way. A small entrance was made in the barrier surrounded by blue energy, and I was about to enter it, approaching the elf who was quarreling with me earlier.

“What?”

“No. But I feel a little bad about talking to someone who came to help with good intentions. You. What’s your name?”

I’m going to slit his throat right now, so talking like that only makes me tired.

The only thing that matters is the treatment of the plague.

However, it’s a different story when you create medicines and cures for the plague.

At that time, the lifeline of the elves will be in my hands, so I will be able to use the elves to punish them.

In order to do that, shouldn’t you know his name for sure?

“…It’s Rankin Freyd.”

“Okay. I remembered.”

we’ll leave you later

I checked his face once more and went inside.

Entering the barrier, the aura of death was felt more intensely.

At the same time, I felt my body lighten slightly.

The plague debuff is being applied.

Surely… If you don’t use the shield of divine power, you get sick after a certain amount of time in this state, right?

I immediately spread the protective shield using divine power and only then did I confirm that my heavy body had become lighter.

ruler. Then let’s go.

“There! Human! Why are you here?!”

Shortly after entering, elves armed with green armor ran towards me. He was a paladin of the Healing Tree tribe. As if trying to control those who recklessly move, they were armed with sacred objects and were about to point their weapons at me when I heard a voice behind me.

“He’s a human brought by the chieftain. They say he’s called a wise man outside the forest.”

Who is it? An elf I hadn’t seen before was pretending to know me.

Looking at the decorations, it seems like a member of the Wings of Light tribe, and a person with a high level of retardation…

“Chief Lorelia sent me in my place. I heard you can’t come in because of the meeting in the elven forest.”

“Oh yeah?”

Either that or not.

“Sage? Are you talking about wiser Hyeonu?”

“Huh? Do you know me?”

“I’ve heard the story several times. It’s an unofficial companion to defeat the demon king… And…”

“and?”

“They say there’s nothing in the world you don’t know.”

Then you heard all the important things.

When I nodded, he let out a heavy sigh and held out his hand.

“This is Rotello, a ranger from the Land of Abundance. I came to help you because I have alchemy knowledge.”

“He’s a wise man. So? Where’s the elf who says the undead is going on?”

“This way.”

Thanks to Rotello, I was able to go inside without any special hindrance. Like Lorelia’s lieutenant, the elf lieutenant, who was similarly prone to exhibitionism and dressed in lewd clothes of the level of a slingshot bikini, stared at me as if it were quite strange.

“What are you looking at?”

“No. You’re a better person than I thought. Ah. Come to think of it, you didn’t even introduce me. I’m Yeon-hwa of the Wings of Light tribe. Lorelia-sama’s first lieutenant.”

“The way you write your name is the same as the Healing Tree tribe? Did you come here from that side?”

“Yes. That’s why I was able to come in.”

“Aha.”

It’s not particularly important what kind of person she is, so let’s just skip it.

The place I moved to was a large building, listening to the story of the current plague, how far the plague had progressed, and the damage situation.

It seemed that they were gathering those affected by the plague and treating them there.

“Most of the elves in the Light Wings Village have been infected with the plague.

“Ohhh. And the most serious thing is that…”

“Yes. Evangeline’s younger sister, a member of the warrior’s party. Ludhida.”

I glanced inside the building. Priests and alchemists armed with divine power and sacred objects were taking care of the elves, but they seemed to be unable to heal them.

I just want to prevent the disease from progressing further with divine power and medicine…

To that extent, it’s just a matter of slowing down time.

“Even among alchemists and priests, there are elves infected with the plague.”

“Really? This is serious…”

– Coke! Coke!

At that time, I found an elf who appeared to be a priest coughing and then collapsing. When I got closer and checked, the heat was seething.

“It’s really serious.”

If the Priests and Alchemists cannot slow down the disease, the plague will spread quickly.

There must be a limit to blocking it with a barrier.

“Sage. How long do you think the treatment will take?”

“Well. First of all, you need to have the alchemy equipment to make the medicine. It just went well. Bring that priest with you.”

At my instruction, some elves made disgruntled faces. But is it thanks to Rotello and Yeonhwa? They did as I instructed, and when I arrived at the alchemy equipment with them, several elven alchemists were startled to see me.

“you are…?”

“Sage?”

During the main story, there was a time when I sold advanced mental recovery potions and recipes to earn some money.

Maybe it’s because it’s a recipe that can only be found after defeating the demon lord, but I didn’t have it at the time, and maybe that’s why I got a lot of money for the recipe and at the same time my name became known to the Alchemist Guild.

No matter how good the elf is, knowledge exchange is essential for alchemy.

That’s why the elven alchemists recognized me and liked me so much that I had been to the alchemist’s guild.

“The great alchemist and sage is coming…”

“I’m so glad… ha…”

The priests seemed a bit surprised by the alchemist’s reaction. Didn’t you know I was like this?

Anyway, the important thing is…

“Take some blood from that priest. And can I use this for Buyeodae?”

“Ah. Write here.”

“You can use this for catalysts and reaction materials.”

The proud elves.

Also, the scene where alchemists who cherish their equipment and materials as if they were their lives was giving away their own, which was quite a strange scene.

Of course, I’ve seen it a few times in the game, but in reality I haven’t seen many elves cringe like this.

That’s why, leaving behind the fresh sensation, I immediately started preparing the medicine, and after a while, I dripped a syringe containing red blood into the petri dish.

-Push this profit!

Dark aura rose from the blood that reacted with the medicine I made and then disappeared. The alchemists who saw this opened their eyes wide and grabbed me and asked.

“Isn’t that the aura of death?”

“Yes. This plague itself is caused by a curse.

“But I didn’t know it was real.”

“So, in order to recover, you must first remove the blessings and curses, and raise the body’s reaction power…”

I revealed my level of knowledge to the alchemists, and they listened to me without blinking an eye.

It’s like giving a lecture.

While the elven alchemists, who were given free lectures that they couldn’t afford to pay for, uttered admiration or snapped their fingers, I finished preparing the medicine and put the medicine in the syringe into the fallen priest’s arm.

“Can I just inject the medicine like that?”

Yeon-hwa shouted in surprise, but passed it by the back of her ear. The important thing now was the drug’s reactivity.

“Ugh…”

“The fever has gone down.”

“Let’s lay it down for now and keep watching.”

“Yes!”

Those who came seemed quite surprised as the alchemists obediently followed my instructions. But this was unavoidable.

Originally, the location of alchemists was determined by the knowledge they possessed.

“Then leave it as it is… Ah. And in a few days, support will come from the Kingdom and the Church. I’ve also told the Laurelia tribal chief, so let’s know that and share our knowledge when they arrive.”

“All right.”

“then…”

After opening and closing my fists, I relaxed. Seeing this, Rotello was puzzled and then hesitantly asked.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to treat Ludhi. I heard he’s becoming an undead?”

“Uh… that’s true. Isn’t warming up like that for fighting?”

got it right I nodded and took the moonlight out of my bag and put it around my waist.

As I started packing up my weapons, some elves nervously grabbed theirs, and I smiled at them.

“No, sage. Now…”

“Now. Let’s go. Based on Ludhi’s condition, by now…”

-Quaaang!!

-Kuuu!!

Then a scream echoed with the sound of something being smashed. When those who were surprised by it turned their eyes towards the sound.

I said, feeling the overflowing energy of death.

“Because it’s time to runaway. Shouldn’t we calm down first?”

“…How do you treat that?”

I laughed at their surprised question.

I thought it was difficult, but the treatment was simpler than I thought.

“Physiotherapy.”
