Vol 2 Chapter 1 (1/2)
A Day in Gnoe
When the villagers of Gno a day of cloudy rain, there were also all sorts of unexpected realizations
For example the fact that the chief they had all respected had been replaced by a fake, or that the real chief’s body had been buried in the poisoned field for a week, or that the gnoe that the ical creatures – Gnomes, Dwarves and Goblins were completely different species
Understanding these took a long time, but under the careful explanation of ers were soon relieved
Of course, what sped up the reconciliation between the hu black stones that the ‘chief’ had all reclai this the villagers sent a representative, full of apology and a large cart of potatoes to visit the gnoiveness
Some texts were found under the chief’s bed, each book carries the seal of the Mage Academy Their rarity was unknown, even Julian, the one who understands ic the most, had no idea In the end the books were placed in a box, to be taken along back to the Mage Academy
Although taking care of these chores pushed their departure back day, there was nothing worth conoion’ received unprecedented welcome Meat even appeared at lunch, as well as fresh milk The siren was even able to witness the process of far a cow to replace the horse for the road – it was naturally denied(i)
After lunch, the rain still had not stopped The elf sat in front of his desk, conteraph for his report to the queen, until he heard knocking from outside
The knight pushed open the door to enter, placing a stea of tea next to him
The elf lifted his head to say thanks, bringing the cup to his lips for a drink
“Black tea… where did you find it?”
The elf’s voice was a little hoarse, the knight caught on to the ano, he reached a hand to rest on the elf’s forehead
“The gnoht you said you don’t get colds because of your racial trait?”
“That’s a lie,” the elf s the cup with both hands, “olves are the ones that don’t get colds”
“… I’ve been tricked,” the knight shook his head in consternation, “Next time remind me, humans are not the only ones that lie”
“Originally I really wouldn’t,” the elf lowered his head seeetic, “sorry, I didn’t know that the side effects would include a decrease in my immune system”
“Side effects of what?”
“…Of oversleeping,” the elf put down his cup, swiftly finishi+ng the last paragraph, and signing his name at the end, “Cain, pass me the wax and seal please”
The knight passed the things over to the elf, watching as he poured thethe seal on top
“Why a wolf’s head?” the knight asked
“What?… Ah” The elf looked at the shape of the seal, shaking his head, “I’istry It’s probably fro, the seal of the noble that watched over the Soloris Valley”
“I know the Crane Fahtfro for a remote land, would dare to use a wolf’s head?”
“That could be the Queen’s idea,” the elf took the letter, standing up, “Soloris Valley is still in the hands of the rebel army”
“Not thinking of taking it back? Earl of Soloris Valley?”
“What for?” the elf s to the door
“As a headquarters,” the knight replied seriously, “I heard that the ruins of the elven tribes are near-by, the northernht?”
“U back to look at hih before the elves left the Ulia Continent, there was a elven settlement in the north yes, but that’s not my tribe”
“Eh?”
