The best territory designer ever - Episode 130
130fury. Open the negotiation table (3)
nettle liquid-!
an arrow flew.
the air split.
No, the space was split..
Kwahak!
The arrow that flew got stuck in the rock..
Immediately after that, Javiel stepped on the arrow stuck in the rock..
two pot!
A leap like a lightning strike.
But there is no time to enjoy the leap.
This was because the barrage of arrows that flew one after another all aimed at the back of the head..
Tukwakwak! Kwahak!
I suddenly turned around in the air..
Five arrows passed through my body..
Three feet stuck on the bare dirt and two feet stuck on a rock..
At that moment, Javiel realized two things..
one. The darkness of the night is no problem for those elves..
two. They shoot their arrows so that they never hurt trees or grass..
‘This is amazing..’
If you think about it, it was enormous..
It was a breathtakingly fast chase..
I was running through a dark and dense forest..
But every time, a frighteningly fast and accurate shot came..
Even those arrows were flying so that they would hit only bare ground without grass or rocks.!
‘My movements as I run at full power are precisely predicted using only my senses. Even the angle and environment of where the arrow will arrive at that moment are calculated. They capture the entire process in an instant and shoot an arrow..’
The more I thought about it, the more incredible skill it was..
But not when you're just admiring it..
Tadat!
landed.
I kicked the ground again.
between trees.
I ran through the bushes and bushes..
Meanwhile, the back of my head and back still tingle..
Dozens of arrowheads are aiming this way..
The skin on my back stings from the sparkling life..
‘But I can't catch you easily.’
If you get caught?
Lloyd is in danger.
So you can never be caught.
We'll continue to be pursued by them in a precarious manner like this..
That may be his best role tonight..
Reflecting on that fact, Javiel spurred his running even further..
But the siege is gradually narrowing..
nettle, nettle-!
Arrows that used to come only from behind gradually started flying from the side as well..
“……!”
skaak!
swung the sword.
Both feet were cut off with a sword wind..
The other foot was thrown away with the sole of the sword as if cutting it off..
It was barely a fist away from the eyebrows..
“…….”
I'm getting pushed out more and more.
It's difficult like this.
‘30I was told to come back within minutes..’
Today's role is not to just run away..
After you've effectively captured his attention, you should return to Lloyd..
Also, if the timing is wrong, Lloyd will be in danger..
Will we be able to get back there in 30 minutes?.
‘It might be a little tight..’
No matter how hard I ran, the elves would chase me until the end. They were the ones who strangled me with terrifyingly accurate shooting every time..
I have to turn around to face those people and retrace my steps..
That meant we had to jump into their siege and break through..
‘But now there is no time to hesitate. If I go further and go back, it will be late..’
Javiel made a decision.
I turn around at the stream ahead..
Jump into the siege of elves.
In the process, the entire body is defended with a sword strike containing aura..
If possible, threaten them with blasting force to make them retreat..
‘good.’
I made a plan in an instant..
I ran one step, two steps, three steps..
Wedge, wedge, tata-tak, four arrows grazed my heel and hit the ground..
At that moment, Javiel's eyes sparkled..
‘now!’
percussion!
I turned around in an instant.
I put my sword in front of my chest..
Brilliant brilliance, aura was created.
Kwaaaa-!
As soon as the auror woke up, he fired his sword..
Following the way the wind blows.
Following the flow of pollen.
I shook off 57 storm-like sword strikes in all directions..
Chakakakakakak! Kakakakak! Tsukakak! Quatzkak! Wow!!
All 86 arrows flying towards him were cut off..
It wasn't just cutting.
The side with the arrowhead fell to the floor..
The back half without the arrowhead flew all over the forest..
It was aimed at the point where the person who fired the arrow was..
“……!”
The elf archers were astonished..
I thought it was a hit this time.
That man, it seemed like he suddenly activated an aura and threw the back half of all the arrows back at the person who fired them.!
“Wow!”
“Big!”
Elves who could not avoid the counterattack appeared one after another..
Someone got hit in the shoulder, someone got hit in the shin..
But no one was hurt.
The momentary sting and pain only engraved a warning like a whip..
But the elves had no time to be distracted by the sting..
‘That man is trying to break through us!’
An elf archer said with a wink.
The other archers soon realized Haviel's intentions..
Tookkuk!
A silver-haired human charging forward with even more force than before..
Just like before, an unstoppable rush that seems to have no intention of avoiding it..
The meaning is obvious.
Breakthrough, not escape.
Or commit a head-on collision.
“……!”
Of course, I had no intention of backing down..
Realizing Javiel's intention, 86 elf archers simultaneously raised their bows..
Now the remaining distance from Haviel is about 50 meters..
Everyone's eyes shone coldly..
Javiel's running speed.
Direction and strength of the blowing wind.
Humidity and pollen concentration in the night air.
All calculations were made sensuously..
Soon, the elves' flashing arrowheads all aimed at a point 24 meters ahead..
There was life in their eyes.
24 meters ahead.
The gap between the bushes is as small as the eye of a needle..
Tonight, the silver-haired human who invaded the forest will end his life as an arrow holder there..
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
Tendons sprouted from the archers' forearms..
The bowstring was pulled to its maximum..
The bow was bent as if it would break..
tried to let go of the protest.
But it was that moment.
“……!”
The sound of a whistle came.
Light but huge at the same time.
So, a signal that can only be heard by an elf's hearing..
It was a whistle that commanded no pursuit and no engagement..
“…….”
The archers looked at each other in confusion..
Of course, no one knew why that whistle came here..
But that doesn't mean you can ignore the signal.
The signal must be obeyed.
That is the law that the tribe engraved into their bodies while living in the forest..
Sigh.
The elves took up their bows.
And hid in the darkness of the forest.
Some look beyond the shadows cast by the beech leaves. Someone else went into the gap between the hanging vines. And some go behind the rocks where the moonlight can't reach.
I withdrew as if taking a breath..
Everyone quickly disappeared.
Like sugar that dissolves in water.
I retreated as if I was naturally melting into the shadows of the forest..
Thanks to this, Javiel felt puzzled..
tadadat!
Passed through the killing zone set by the elves in one go..
At that moment, he radiated energy waves as if protecting his whole body with his sword..
but it was strange.
‘what?’
no one shot themselves.
Not a single arrow flew.
No, before discussing that…….
‘Life disappeared in an instant.’
Javiel didn't stop charging..
If you stop walking, you could become a perfect target to kill..
Maybe that's what the elves are aiming for.
He continued to run through the forest, trying to shake off his doubts..
‘That's strange. what.’
As I continued running, I couldn't feel anything targeting me..
It almost felt as if the intense chase just moments ago had been a lie or a dream..
‘It's strange.’
What on earth is this plan?.
Javiel actually became more nervous and raised his guard..
At the same time, I felt a creeping sense of anxiety..
‘I'm sure something happened to Lloyd..’
Please don't let that happen..
But I was anxious.
Their pursuit suddenly stopped.
Their attitude of letting you go as if nothing happened.
Every step he took was enough to awaken and amplify his anxiety..
No, I became even more anxious because it was quiet..
‘I didn't mean to leave you alone..’
Even if you were the bait, Lloyd was in a dangerous enough situation..
But I really trusted Lloyd’s words to trust me and leave it to me..
I'm sure there are enough preparedness measures in place..
Conveniently passed it on.
Protecting Lloyd.
That huge responsibility..
‘please. Lloyd.’
I hope everything stays safe.
I hope you greet me calmly and shamelessly as usual..
I want you to know that you are alive and well through silly jokes and jeers..
Javiel crossed the forest, hoping and hoping..
I accelerated my running even more..
Jump over rocks, across stumps, and between tree branches in one go..
He even took off the handkerchief that covered his nose and mouth like a mask..
It didn't matter if pollen came in randomly..
He ran without even having the presence of mind to sneeze..
And finally where he started.
I arrived at the place where I left Lloyd..
“Lloyd!”
Turquoise!
After running with all my might, I landed as if I was falling and slipped..
I turned my head.
I looked away.
I found it in a hurry.
Mr. Lloyd?
The elves?
We will respond as soon as we discover it..
Even if it means killing a few elves..
Even if I end up being pursued by them for the rest of my life, full of resentment..
We will rescue Lloyd first..
I grabbed my sword with all my might..
and finally found it.
No, I was discovered..
“Howdy. Are you here?.”
A place where welcome voices are heard.
Somehow, a place where a delicious smell flows from.
Javiel's head moved towards that place at the speed of light..
I cast my gaze like a flash of light..
and witnessed.
there was lloyd.
There were five elven archers.
Everyone was sitting in a circle.
What was placed in the center of them was a small grill..
And the meat is slowly cooking on the grill..
So now Lloyd…….
“now… … What are you doing??”
“huh? I'm eating grilled pork belly.?”
“I… … What about people??”
Javiel's fingers trembled slightly..
He pointed to the five elves sitting awkwardly..
Lloyd answered brightly..
“We are eating together?”
“…….”
“You've arrived at the right time. sit here.”
Lloyd tapping on the rock on the floor and the empty space next to him..
Javiel sat down feeling as if he was possessed by something..
Naturally, the elves and the elves sat in a circle, with the pork belly gently cooking on the grill..
“What is this now…….”
“Say hello. These people are elf archers. In particular, this person's name is Muira. He is the chief of the Forget-Me-Not Tribe located here in the Everglow Forest..”
“…….”
“Did you see it? This guy is a bit blunt and rude. This is my escort I mentioned earlier, Javiel Asrahan..”
“…….”
A woman called Muira and elven archers greeted us with awkward glances..
Javiel looked at that blankly and thought..
It seems like the elves over there are so embarrassed that they don't know what to do..
“So, what on earth is this?.”
I barely came to my senses..
I asked Lloyd half-questioningly..
It was unfair.
I was really worried.
So I ran like crazy.
But what on earth is this situation?.
What on earth happened while he was away to see Lloyd and the elf chief sitting around a fire grilling pork belly?.
‘I don't understand anything.’
It was so confusing..
But I don't know if you know how this side feels..
Isn’t Lloyd still smiling inexplicably?.
“What is the situation? Negotiating.”
“Negotiating.?”
“The explanation is done. Just take a look. Now, tongs. Flip the meat well at the right time so it doesn’t burn..”
“…….”
I suddenly got the tongs..
In a dazed state, I flipped the pork belly on the grill..
Meanwhile, the conversation between Lloyd and the elf chieftain Myira continued..
“Haha, how does the meat taste??”
“……That's good.”
“Yes? I heard that elves don't use fire..”
“of course. Fire is created by tormenting and sacrificing plants..”
“So, are you drying the game from its raw state and processing it into jerky??”
“It's pretty delicious too.”
“Better than this pork belly?”
“…….”
“also. Pork belly is always the truth and the answer. But isn't it annoying because the smell of coal permeates the meat??”
“Not at all.”
Myira shook her head slightly..
Eventually, her eyes turned to the glowing coals beneath the grill..
“It's amazing. Could it be that there was a way to make fire without sacrificing wood or resorting to magic?.”
Coal.
burning stone.
When I first saw her earlier, she was so surprised..
I was not only surprised, but even touched..
Because it was a phenomenon I had never even imagined..
‘A stone that catches fire. I didn't know something like this existed.’
With that, you can start a fire without sacrificing wood..
What this means is that game can be grilled and eaten deliciously..
A desire as strong as freshly brewed espresso bloomed in Myira’s eyes as she looked at the coal..
Of course, it wasn't Lloyd who couldn't sense that sign..
‘I didn't know that the elf would actually get stuck in the coals..’
It was just coal I had brought to add to the bonfire. It was pork and a grill brought to gain strength on the cold journey..
But I never thought it would become such a killing item in negotiations with elves..
Honestly, this was unexpected luck even for someone who likes to draw the big picture..
“Well, anyway, let’s continue the negotiations… … If you listen to my request, we will steadily supply you with a generous amount of meat and coal every month..”
“Coal? This burning stone?”
“yes.”
Actually, strictly speaking, it is not a stone..
It is a tree that died and was buried hundreds of millions of years ago..
Well, let's not tell you that..
Lloyd wiped his mouth and said.
“My request is simple. Please grant me the right to collect Elencia root sap. Of course, we won't harvest it randomly. We will ensure that the exact amount is maintained under their presence and supervision. and…….”
“And?”
“Please send just one hundred elves to our territory who will fearlessly cross the high rises and work as iron workers. In the form of outsourcing manpower dispatch.”
fatty meat.
amazing coal.
Lloyd's proposal, which holds two cards, has been revealed..
