Chapter 102 (2/2)

In that process, the mixed offsprings of dragons and fairies with humans began to come out as powerful living beings. Under their initiative the ‘Slavery Rebellion’ broke out and Abaron was destroyed and the civilization developed by the ancient fairies had collapsed.

And now, the relationship between the humans and the fairies had been completely reversed.

The truth had been forgotten even among the fairies, and the only ones who knew it, such as Erenes, didn’t speak about it.

It was because the truth could have caused either conflict or sorrow.

‘The past isn’t a good enough reason to punish the fairies of the present. It isn’t right for humans to enslave or discriminate against them because of what they did in the past.’

The fairies weren’t always living in the mountains of the forests.

It was because they had been pushed by the humans, they had to give up their golden lands and hide like that.

“Stop, who are you?” Asked someone.

The guards at the entrance of Zenith village shouted, pointing their spears in the direction of the visitors.

They were a very aggressive race, which could be compared to the Dark Elves. They were the Lycans who were referred to as Werewolves.

“I am Erwin Lesa, who came a few days ago. I saved the kidnapped ones.”

“Ah, it is Miss Erwin,” said one of the guards.

When they realized that the person was an acquaintance, the Lycans took down their spears.

However, as they saw Luke and Philip, they got terrified.

“Hu-humans?!”

“It is alright. These were the ones who had saved my kind.”

At the answer of Erwin, the Lycan went back a few steps.

Even after taking a step back, they were so wary of the humans that they didn’t look away from Philip.

In the meantime, the elves, who have been saved from the traders in the past, shed tears upon being reunited with their loved ones.

“Mom!”

“Oh oh, Colona!”

Luke looked in that direction.

The residents of Zenith village seemed rather distressed than celebrate the reunion with their families.

Philip feeling something was off, asked,

“Why are they all so stiff?”

“It sure is a delight to get back the ones who have been kidnapped by the slave traders, but the village cannot care for the ones who have lost their homes or families,” said Erwin.

According to her explanation, the Zenith village was built on rocks, and its land was barren.

Which meant that it would be hard to have a good harvest even if there was always rain to water their crop.

“In the recent times, they have reached their limit. They used crop rotation and fertilization. However, nothing seems to work.”

“I see, so the fields can’t be properly tended,” said Philip.

Philip thought that the fairies didn’t know how to farm properly.

“Can’t it be resolved by magic? There was a story once that magic could increase the yield.”

“That was because of the intellectual person who used magic. But that can’t help in such a village, at least not in this barren state.”

However, as they had no other safe place, the fairies wouldn’t even think of abandoning the village.

They all probably thought that it was better to starve to death than to live miserably in the hands of humans.

‘It isn’t like there is no way to solve this problem. If my intuition is right…’ Erwin thought.

She looked over at Luke.

Unlike the other place, the grasses and the color of the life around his feet were very vivid.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the changes that were happening around him could be related to the energy she had felt a while back.

Erwin decided to talk and approach Luke.

“I have a favor to ask you.”

“Favor?”

“For starters, move from this spot.”
