Chapter 63 (1/2)
We succeed in neutralizing the guards around the village.
I looked through it with a telescope, but no one seemed to resist any more. Rir is also calm. At least no one was malicious.
“Zelet …”
Anxiously, Pamela stares at the fallen guard.
“Do not worry. I just paralyzed him. “
That said, there is an impact of landing. One or two ribs may be broken, but with that physique, there would be no difference in life.
“Yes, it’s good.”
Pamela seems to be relieved from the bottom of her heart.
You don’t want me to kill them.
Then, she leaves the bush. With her hands open, Pamela called out to the stunned villagers.
I also hide the cannon sword in a black robe, raise the collar to hide the elf’s ears, and go out.
“I’m relieved, everyone has come to help.”
“What did you guys do !!”
Immediately afterwards, it wasn’t the expression of relief that was directed at us. It was a tense horror.
“What? … It hurts!”
A stone hits Pamela’s forehead. Fortunately, the stone was small and didn’t cause a big injury, but it was no wonder that my childhood friend was confused.
The contractor was hurt, and Kure said, “Kyururu! !! “. Rir also raised her face and watched the surroundings.
The villagers who first hit Pamela roared at her.
“If you don’t know, why don’t you leave it alone! This heroic sadist!”
The villagers complained of bloody tears.
Not just men. The same is true for other villagers. Some women with children are crying. The old men just turned down.
“It’s over. This village is over.”
When asked why, the villagers held their heads and repeated the words, “It’s over,” and finally sank to the ground.
An elf who seems to be the village head of this village comes in front of us, who do not understand the reason.
He was quite old. Elves have a relatively long lifespan, and some live for as long as 300 years.
On the other hand, they are vulnerable to diseases and are often short-lived.
The weaker the body, the more customary it is to live in search of a forest with better air.
“Are you guys traveling?”
The elder comes out in front of us, poking his cane.
“No. The prince asked me to free you and get rid of Kerunea.”
Pamela explained that the suspicions of the villagers seemed to have deepened.
“Prince’s request?”
“What are you thinking?”
“Leaving it to a child”
“But the trick of defeating the guards …”
“Stupid guy! That just was a fluke!”
It’s all you want to say.
The elder in front of me heard the story and nodded.
“I see. I understand. Then it’s better to be early. Get away from here.”
“What do you mean?”
“Sooner or later we will be punished.”
“That … maybe Kerunea …?”
When Pamela terrifiedly asked, the elder nodded.
“We don’t care whether it’s Kerunea or the kingdom anymore. We just wanted to live quietly.”
“Are you still wanting it, even though you’ve been struck by a weapon and exploited a precious elf?”
“Shut up, kid …”
However, the elder’s counterargument is really weak.
It was a thin voice as if he admitted losing from the beginning.
“We are not willing to submit, but they manipulate Kerunea.”
“Manipulate Kerunea?”
“Maybe they’re using a magic tool.”
Magical tools that manipulate monsters have been developed for a long time. Its use must be done with caution, and some prohibitions may be contradicted.
For example, you can control multiple monsters with magic tools.
There are records of using this method to manipulate large monsters to destroy several cities and towns when humans were in conflict with each other in the past.
“No way … they …!”
“Yesterday, the neighboring village was attacked because the village hunter accidentally fired at a Kerunea.”
“yesterday—-“
Pamela takes a breath.
I also flipped the black robe.
“Where are you going?”
“To that village. Maybe there are still survivors.”
“Wait, kid”
The elder stops me.
“You’re an elf”
“Eh? Elf?”
“He has black hair.”
“No, look at his ears”
“And the whiteness of the skin”
Other villagers also noticed that I was a black-haired, black-eyed elf.
“So what?”
“I’ve heard rumors of a black elf. Calling disaster …”
“I’ve heard that too!”
