You know that, don't you? That there are those who are after the power of the spirits.

Do you think he's playing with us? You're one of them.

Or, more accurately, I was just pretending to be a collaborator.

As long as there was evidence that it was a demonic ore that he had found during his search of the High Elf Village, it was only natural that he would see Harzang as one of his enemies.

Perhaps he had anticipated this, and continued to speak with a perfectly unconcerned expression.

''In the first place, there is no way that we high elves could seriously harm the spirit-sama. The only reason we were cooperating with them was because we desperately needed to bring Meldina to this place.

You're gonna call Mel?

'Yes. We high elves have no way to counter the magical tools they have created. We needed the power that Meldina possesses to overthrow those who harmed the Spirit-sama.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what he's referring to as ”Meldina's power”.

I'm sure he sensed that I was talking out of my mouth, but he let out a short sigh and continued.

'No wonder you are oblivious, human. Meldina's power has been sleeping deep in your soul, you know. Do you know that Meldina has explored these ruins?

I... Yeah. I heard it this morning.

Yeah. Meldina is the Chosen One.

Chosen?

Virum couldn't help but listen back to the words spoken by Harzang, which he couldn't find any connection with.

I can't find any connection with the words spoken by Harzaan. It is the mausoleum of the founder of our high elves and elves, the Elder Elves.

'The Elder Elf? I've never heard of such a species.

I don't even know who to call.

From the looks of it, your spirit animal isn't very old. The word ”Elder” means an ancient species. It is said that you lived in the age of ancient magical civilization. Probably only a few of the spirits alive today know about it.

Hartshan looked somewhat proud as he explained in a way that was easy to understand to Foumil, who tilted his head.

''It is said that there were some Elder Elf-sama who possessed magical power that exceeded even Spirit Beasts-sama. However, you have chosen to coexist with the spirits instead of increasing their magical power. Therefore, to us, Spirituals are absolute beings.

Meldina was an Elder Elf?

'Not quite. Meldina was chosen as the vessel in which the Lord Elder Elf dwells when he reached the latest part of this ruin ... or this room.

In other words, Meldina herself is unaware of it, but another personality resides within her.

I thought that with the power of the Elder Elves, I could resist them. The reason why I provided the magic ore is because I wanted to have them gather information about Meldina, which is scattered all over the world.

We almost got invaded because of that rock you provided.
