My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 160
#160
After the invasion of the capital (4)
When the delegation finally arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the Elven Kingdom on the Enamel Continent, the different races exchanged brief greetings and parted ways to their respective countries..
‘Now that I think about it, Elven Kingdom is also a good gathering place as it is located in a transportation hub in the center of the continent..’
When I said this, it really seemed like the high elf was a means of transportation..
Still, it is the leader of a race in name and appearance..
“Heh, heh— wow, this is harder than I thought. Even with Laforie's assistance, it's still like this... How did you even cross the sea with this?···.”
Cecily, who operated the 'Forest Road' with Laforie as a trainee, kept sweating and making noises..
In fact, everyone else just walked along the forest path, but she had to stay next to Lapori the entire way and take classes on it..
When I went to the Aeon Continent, I learned theoretical aspects such as how to use energy, and when I returned, I helped little by little by his side as he led the way, and even completed practical operations..
And immediately after entering the continent, Cecily took the lead and even completed training.···.
“I was like this for a while, but I can't believe you kept it like this for so long. As expected, Lapori is amazing.!”
“Hahaha, this also requires some tact. Cecily, I think you'll get used to it quickly..”
Cecily smiled brightly at his consolation and opened her mouth in a voice filled with emotion as she looked at the World Tree towering in the distance..
“Anyway, something feels strange. The first time I crossed the sea, I had my eyes opened, but the second time was Mr. Harris. There seems to be some jinx? Who will be next for this? Woohuhu.”
“Ah, it's my turn next! I'll make a reservation first.!”
Shapiron's eyes were burning as he seized the opportunity and quickly intervened..
Even though he didn't show it, he seemed quite upset about being overtaken by Harris, whom he considered his rival..
After a brief conversation, the delegation immediately began their journey to the World Tree..
Days of walking towards giant trees that defy perspective.
Harris was able to sense that his plan to erode culture was a half-success as he heard changes in music genres heard in the villages he encountered along the way..
‘···That's great. They absorbed them and created a whole new genre. Since it has had an impact, should I consider it a success??’
It was truly a race that was serious about music..
Anyway, his goal was to obtain karma in other ways, so this was a satisfactory enough achievement..
‘at las.’
But right now it wasn't that important..
After moving repeatedly, we finally reached it..
A huge tree rising majestically as if to support the sky, right below where the branches of the World Tree reach..
“ah!”
And Harris.
《The World Tree looks at its child.》
More clearly than ever before—the existence of the World Tree could be sensed clearly..
The main body was so huge that you couldn't even feel its parts, but the World Tree wasn't that big..
Of course, that too was just as distant..
The stem soared high into the sky as if it could reach the universe, the branches that wrapped around the world bore stars instead of fruits, and the roots grabbed the planet he was standing on..
An overwhelming presence that makes me feel a sense of awe without even realizing it..
Compared to that, he was just a small mite parasitic on a tree..
Hehehe—
Harris, who was intimidated by the wondrous image, suddenly realized that a red fruit the size of a small fist was approaching right in front of his nose..
There are also colorful spirits that support the branches on which it is hung and swirl around them..
It was a sight I had already seen once in the past..
He took a deep breath, and the fresh air seeped deep into his lungs..
At that time, he could only take in this abundant air as he watched Cecily perform the eye opening ceremony from outside.···.
Harris grabbed the 'fruit of the world tree' and brought it to his mouth without hesitation..
crunchy—
‘ah!’
I thought I chewed it once, but before I knew it, the entire pulp had flowed down my throat..
The high-density energy condensed in the fruit instantly spread throughout the body, and every part of it from head to toe began to change under its influence..
And the destination of the energy that swept through his entire body was his eyes..
Stinging pain felt throughout the eyeball.
Once the series of processes was completed, he was able to clearly feel why the ritual of becoming a high elf was called 'eye opening'..
As if a filter had been removed, the world had taken off its veil..
《An object grows by achieving conditions. Acquire the special skill “Star Observer”.》
《The entity has achieved enlightenment by achieving the condition. The skill “Spiritual Art” evolves into the special skill “Nature’s Call”..》
It wasn't just a broadened view..
3He was able to perceive his surroundings as if he were seeing them from a person perspective, and the world reflected in his eyes was much more dreamy than usual..
Just like the surrounding scenery seen through the ‘Forest Path’... no, much more than that..
‘「Observer of the Stars”... This was the core of many of the abilities that the high elves have shown so far..’
The ability to travel across forest paths through space, the ability to bestow protection on others, and the ability to detect targets through the forest..
All of these transfers were accomplished using the power of the World Tree through this skill..
Ugh—
At the same time, the brief but powerful will of the World Tree shook his mind..
It was much clearer than what I felt from the main body, but it also couldn't be defined in a specific language.···.
Harris was able to intuitively understand the meaning..
-I will watch over you. my child.
Interest in it, anticipation of something, and some doubts..
Although no further direct intention was conveyed after that brief will, it was clearly felt that the spirit vein between him and the World Tree was firmly connected..
-Entity name: Harris
-Race: High Elf
-Common characteristics: 「Mind Herb」, 「Persona」, 「Super Recovery」, 「Mysterious Index」」
-Object characteristics: 「Legitimacy of the World Tree」, 「Nature's Fairy Tale」, 「Star Observer」, 「Call of Nature」, 「Fairy Justice」, 「Mode of Harmony」」
-Special Note: After transforming into a High Elf, the priest of the World Tree, he was able to borrow its power through the spirit vein. Natural power and affinity have grown rapidly, and all spirits are about to evolve. Receive infinite love from all animals and plants..
Is it because of the aftereffects of rapid change?.
He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the strength drain from his body and his mind becoming faint..
“Mr. Harris's eye opening ceremony has been completed.···.”
“Move it inside carefully.···.”
So finally.
Harris, who came to this world as an illegitimate child with no knowledge of the world, was officially adopted and proudly registered on the family register..
***
“Phew—.”
Riley Carte Azerion, the 5th princess of the Azerion Empire, a beauty with bright blonde hair and turquoise eyes who was walking in the garden, sighed for the number of times..
It had already been more than a week since she had been kidnapped and imprisoned by the Immortal King..
‘The environment is cleaner than I thought and the treatment is not bad..’
Her residential area consisted of several small lodging buildings built around a large garden..
This was quite surprising to her, who thought the environment was like a prison, and the accommodation buildings given to each person were spacious enough for people to live alone..
‘For some reason, it feels like the monitor is also considerate of this and that. ...at least for me.’
What on earth is he doing outside? Every time I come here, I see a tired-looking man named Andrew who treats the crown prince like a slave.···.
The woman in charge of her, Lilith, was taking very good care of her as if she were her own maid..
Of course, there was a sense of distance as he was a surveillance officer, but compared to the man who always wanted Simon as if it were an outlet for his stress, he was no different from an angel..
‘That's a bit embarrassing. Should I consider myself lucky?.’
But the situation she was in now was too bleak to just like it..
No matter how well she was treated, she was a prisoner without freedom..
Meanwhile, all she did was walk around her assigned living quarters and argue with Simon, or meditate and practice her magic alone in a quiet place..
‘It’s the perfect environment to stay isolated and practice. I've been giving up on it under the excuse that I'm busy, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a serious try again. ···There’s nothing to do.’
Although she learned it from a young age for cultural purposes, she also had some knowledge of magic..
It was natural that she was the one who first taught Ise-ah the basics of magic..
‘Of course, it was quickly reversed. Isn’t it too much to surpass what I’ve learned over the years in less than a month??’
Even since then, I have not been able to cross the threshold of beginner level..
The princess, who was grumbling while thinking of Lee Se-ah, put a small smile on her lips and gently closed her eyes..
The reason she can maintain her composure right now is because she trusts Lee Se-ah that much..
There is no guarantee as to when we will be able to get out of here, and it may be worse than dying at the whim of the Immortal King..
The only support that can hold on to such a hopeless situation.
‘If you're alive... Se-Ah will definitely come to save you..’
But now there was nothing she could do but wait..
Feeling helpless, Riley squatted down and buried her face in her knees..
An emperor who prioritized selecting a successor through competition over love for his children..
The 4th Empress, her mother who passed away early leaving only Riley to the world, and the Empress and Empresses who consider her nothing but a thorn in their eyes..
And the siblings who have fought fiercely since childhood to succeed to the throne..
‘Se-ah... older sister.’
This is the family that should be the friendliest, and her mother's family, a small homeowner in the outskirts, was busy looking after her instead of protecting her..
The situation was the same for the servants who served her, so she had no choice but to suffer from distrust of the people of this world..
‘···You should have called me sister a long time ago. She said what's so hard about it.’
In that environment, the only person Riley felt true family love for was Se-ah..
To be honest, at first, I felt like I brought him here as if I was picking up a pet.···.
Ugh—
The moment she was shivering alone in the corner of the garden.
Lilith, the princess's watcher, opened the 'invisible door' in the center of the residential area and appeared..
With one hand, I grabbed the back of the man who seemed to have fainted and dragged him along..
“Haha, it looks like Andrew is harassing the Crown Prince again. anyway.”
She glanced in Riley's direction, then paid him no mind and immediately summoned him with her magic..
“Si... No, Lilith! Did you call me? What happened suddenly... huh? He, that person?”
Andrew, who had been bothering Simon and forcing him to clean the dorm when she called him, approached her with a sneer, but when he saw the unconscious man, his eyes widened and he rushed at him..
Unlike his usual tired appearance, he kept looking at the man's clothes with a curious expression..
“They said it suddenly appeared from the side of the castle. They said they ran into the castle when the undead around them tried to attack them. It would have been impossible to move through space around here..”
“sister! Absolutely! This person is from the same world as me.!”
Self-defense supplies, including clothing and bulletproof uniforms that are difficult to find in this world..
He, who had been ignoring her words, spoke in an excited voice.···.
‘same world?’
Riley's ears, who were still squatting in the corner and eavesdropping on their conversation, perked up..
“Ah, I thought so, but it was still true. The king must have guessed in advance and ordered that the interest be managed separately here. Anyway, this is also a precious sample, and if you keep it here, it won't be able to escape..”
“Haha, wow, this is a new guy out of nowhere. Even if that doesn't work out, it's in a place like this... haha.”
Andrew started to laugh evilly, as if he had thought of something evil, but the laugh didn't last long..
“Oh! Andrew? Now you don't have to come here anymore. I called you to tell you that from the beginning..”
“Uh, yes? So what I'm doing now···.”
“Phew—I will be in charge of this job from now on. So you just have to focus on what you're doing over there..”
“Uh, uh, well... then what are the business hours?···.”
“Now that this matter is out of the way, it's entirely up to Olivia.?”
His face instantly turned pale, as if he had heard something he couldn't hear..
“Oh no! Please let me work here, sister! If this continues, I'm really going to die.!”
“There is nothing I can do because it is an order from the king. Oh, and from now on, your accommodation will be in that area, not this area, so don't get confused..”
“Are you talking about a place with vicious friends?···?”
Andrew desperately begs and Lilith shakes her head as if she has no choice..
But all the while, Riley's curious gaze was fixed on the unconscious man..
‘A person from another world... like Se-Ah···.’
The fact that the watcher, Andrew, was from another world was surprising, but what caught her attention now was that black-haired man who seemed to have just arrived here..
Come to think of it, his clothes were similar to the situation when she met Lee Se-ah..
Of course, at that time it was the garden of the noble family where her mother's family was located, but the difference this time was that it was near the headquarters of the Immortal King..
‘If you think so, that person. I'm out of luck. After all, this is where I first started..’
Riley, who knew about the otherworldly transmission through Isea, looked at him with a pitiful expression..
Ise-ah would have been in a lot of trouble if it weren't for her suggestion, but would that still be the case here??
“Princess? You may have heard the situation roughly, but this person will also be staying here from now on..”
“ah!”
While she was lost in thought, Lilith looked down at her and quietly opened her mouth..
“···The princess also doesn't know how long she will be here. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to talk to other than the Crown Prince??”
“······.”
“Oh, by the way, I heard this guy said his name first—what did he say??”
Lilith thought for a moment and then glanced down at the still unconscious man in her hands..
A black-haired young man of a race quite similar to Ise-ah, with a soft expression and slightly drooping eyes that could be seen even though he had lost his mind..
“···Did you say Hesperon? Well, please hear the detailed introduction directly from the person concerned. Then I guess I'll just have to take this guy back to the dorm..”
An awakened person from Earth who has just been sent to another world..
It was the moment when Hesperon was taken prisoner by the Immortal King..
