37 – Elven Forest – 1

He traveled all over the continent and gathered all the necessary materials. The rest is to go to the elves’ forest and get the patients’ blood and make medicine with it.

I returned to my room in the palace only after taking out the ingredients in the bag and checking them again and seeing that they were in order.

“Are you here?”

Shortly after teleporting to the palace, Lucille came into the room. It seems that he entered after checking the alarm magic hanging inside. I greeted her with a smile, and I was told that I had found the queen with her and that an envoy had been prepared to send to the Elven Forest.

“And Lucille will be attending the delegation as a representative.”

“okay.”

“They said the church decided to step in as well.”

“Do other races not move?”

“We decided to move first.”

It seems that he didn’t like the position of putting the gun on the man first.

No, maybe he was being pressured by other races.

Did he say that he would not attend because he showed the high-handed elves a lesson?

Well, I’m not part-timer until then…

“And I decided to get help from the hero. Sage. Is there any problem?”

“To Claire? Hmm…”

“Yes. Ah. Of course, wise man. I’m not asking you to move with me. I just…”

“It must be support for the movement of manpower and supplies, right?”

Nod, the queen nodded, and Raquel next to me looked at me. As much as I know the relationship between me and the hero’s party, I feel embarrassed for opening my hand to Claire.

“it’s okay.”

“Huh? Yes?”

I don’t know if they get in my way, I don’t care what they do as long as they don’t grab my ankle.

Raquel let out a heavy sigh as if she was quite relieved when I responded.

“What is it? Did you think I’d beat everyone just because I joined the warrior party?”

“To be honest, it is. I guess you…”

“I know how to differentiate between public and private.”

“That’s very fortunate.”

“Did you hear that? Lucille?”

“…yes.”

Lucille pursed her lips with a slightly pouty face. Claire, Leventia, and Evangeline seemed to be bothered by the fact that they were together on this occasion, but what to do with the decision?

“I think the church’s support will probably go with it. I think we’ll have to wait a few days.”

“Okay. So, let’s do that.”

“Hmm? You’re coming too, aren’t you?”

“I’ll go first.”

Support is support and my job is my job. Isn’t it something everyone should do on their own?

Lucille regretted my words, the Queen sighed, and Lukel laughed bitterly.

“Then you should know that.”

After talking about a few other issues, I ended my meeting with the Queen. There is nothing to see in the capital for the time being.

I returned to my room and packed my things to go to the Elven Forest right away, and Lucille came into the room when I was about to pack everything.

“Master. There…”

“Being the representative of the envoy this time means that the princess will grow even more.”

Raising Lucille does not make her a great wizard.

It would be a good experience to assume the representative position of the envoy as it should be seen as making her the next queen.

If this thing succeeds, even more so.

“Yes…”

“I hope you do well. Anyway, the princess is my only disciple.”

“Joe, that’s a little embarrassing.”

“Oh. I didn’t mean to burden you. Then shall we do this?”

“how?”

“If you’re doing well on this job… Okay, why don’t you take a break and go out for a few days?”

“No, want to play? That… that that… that… that… Master and the two… are you?”

“Well, it’s a bit difficult to bring someone else. They say there’s a nice resort near the capital. I’ll make a reservation there.”

“…is it… is it?”

“Yes.”

I patted her on the shoulder, eyes widening with anticipation.

“Then see you later.”

During the main story, I stopped by the elven forest a few times.

Of course, I couldn’t go into the forest then. The only ones who entered were Claire, Leventia, and Evangeline.

That’s why I was able to leave the progress of the main story that I had to deal with at that time to the warrior party, and other than that, I had cleared all the achievements I had to do here by myself.

In other words, if it weren’t for this plague issue, I wouldn’t have come here at all.

“Hmm…”

That’s why I didn’t feel very good looking at the forest of elves.

To begin with, I don’t like elves very much…

“Who are you!!”

“Sage.”

I raised both hands at the strong cry that came from the forest. Lorelia must have already told you? However, the rangers who guarded the elven forest were openly pointing their bows at me, as if that wasn’t part-time job.

“Sage? Are you human?”

“Calling a sage for a human subject. You’re being arrogant.”

High-pressure and arrogant elves always say that when they hear my introduction.

Most of the elves reacted this way to me, so I wasn’t hurt or angry.

I’ve been through too much to be hurt by this.

“At the request of the leader of the Wings of Light tribe, Lorelia, I came to investigate the plague.”

“Ha. The Wings of Light tribe is finished. You can leave such diseases to the Tree of Healing tribe.”

Like arrogant elves, it seemed like they were trying to solve their own problems.

The Healing Tree Tribe is a village centered around priests or healers among the elves, and most accept the tribe member when recruiting an elven priest as a party member.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important…

“Could you tell the Wings of Light tribe a bit? A sage has arrived.”

“Heh. Let’s wait for now.”

The stout male elf who had been grumbling earlier ran into the forest. In the meantime, the two female elf rangers were aiming their arrows at me, and I sat down, paying no attention to it or not.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m hungry, so I’m going to eat some food.”

I couldn’t even eat because I was rushing back and forth. I made a rough fire with the ignition stone I got while I was in Dwarven City and put up a frying pan.

I was baking pancakes on it, and I saw the elves staring at me.

“What is that?”

“pancake?”

“No. Rooting it.”

“Ah. This. Maple syrup.”

Come to think of it, it was difficult to find maple syrup in the elven forest because there were no sugar maple trees.

I handed out the syrup I took out of my bag, and an elf approached me with interest.

“This is the first syrup I’ve seen. It smells so good. Can I taste it?”

“okay.”

With my permission, she sprinkled a little syrup on her spoon and took a bite of the brown liquid. And his eyes sparkled and he vomited admiration.

“This… tastes great. It’s not like simple syrup… Is it the sap of a tree?”

“Oh. You must know how to cook?”

The green-haired elf next to the blue-haired elf, whose field of interest seemed to be cooking, frowned.

“Lucia. What are you doing! It’s time to watch!”

“I didn’t have to live in particular, and I came here for cooperation. Wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t carry a weapon and just cook?”

“Really. Every time I see ingredients I’ve never seen…”

The green-haired elf let out a deep sigh and eventually lowered his arrow, but his watchful eyes on me did not stop. But the blue-haired elf called Lucia was different.

Isn’t it like watching me baking pancakes while standing next to me?

“I don’t bake pancakes like that.”

“I’m also a body that can’t be beaten anywhere when it comes to cooking?”

“In the first place, the dough is too thick to make pancakes suitable for that syrup. A little stiffer would be better.”

“Ohh. If you’re that confident, I’ll give you the ingredients, so would you like to bake it?”

“Huh. Entrusting the cooking to the best chef of the Land of Plenty? Okay. I’ll show you what real cooking is.”

With an arrogant smile, she took my ingredients and quickly made pancake batter.

It’s not the level of arrogance typical of elves, but the real hand movements are not normal.

this woman

It’s ‘real’.

She seems to be quite serious about cooking, skillfully baking pancakes. It wasn’t just a pancake, he even drew a picture on the bottom of the pancake.

This made it clear.

That he cooks better than me.

Apart from skill itself, it must be because of the difference in race.

Eh. This is why elves!

“Awesome.”

“Heh. Why don’t you try it first? The opportunity to taste this Lucia Rotenbeia-sama’s cuisine is extremely rare.”

I tried eating it with maple syrup on top of the pancake on the served plate.

Wow. That’s awesome. Stress was relieved and satiety increased to the same level as when I ate the highest quality cuisine.

The royal cuisine was not like this.

Was this kind of talent hiding in a place like this?!

“Really delicious…”

“Huh, right? I made the dough according to this maple syrup. To match the sweet flavor, adding a little more flour and salt to the dough…”

Even more proud of my pure admiration, Lucia spoke confidently. That’s how she talked for a while, and I took her teaching and baked pancakes.

“Oh. You follow the instructions at once. Quite a bit?”

“I didn’t expect to learn how to learn so easily.”

Unexpectedly, I got a recipe for ‘delicious pancakes’.

Pancakes are a common dish when traveling, so it would be nice to feed adventurers later.

“Thanks to you, I know it’s good, so I’ll give you this.”

It’s maple syrup, because I can get it again. I took maple syrup out of my bag and handed it out, and Lucia took it proudly with a grin.

“If you bring an ingredient I don’t know later, I’ll teach you another recipe that fits it.”

“Oh. Really? Then I’ll give you a list of ingredients I know, so let’s guess.”

Unexpected gains in unexpected places.

Anyway, since my stomach was full, I cleaned up around Juseom Juseom. and after a while

“You’re later than expected.”

A familiar face appeared. Lorelia.

The exhibitionist chief of the Wings of Light tribe walked out wearing only a bikini armor and said to me.

“Go right away.”

“Wait. Chief Laurelia. No humans can enter the forest without permission.”

“This is an emergency.”

“It’s only for the Wings of Light tribe.”

The male elf who went inside to pick up Lorelia earlier looked at me with wary eyes. The moment Lorelia was about to say something to his sharp reaction, Lucia shook her head.

“It’s okay. Let me in.”

“But Captain Lucia.”

“I ate the dish he cooked earlier. He doesn’t look like someone who would do anything stupid.”

Can you eat it and know? Anyway, when Lucia raised her hand, the green-haired elf let out a deep sigh and nodded.

“Just let them in.”

3:1. Eventually, he looked at me with wary eyes and opened the way.

I got permission and entered, but I had to travel quite a bit to the place where the Wings of Light tribe was located.

It’s a place I’ve never been to, so I can’t teleport, so I have no choice but to follow it.

After moving for a while, Lorelia opened her mouth.

“Sage. There is something you should know.”

There’s something serious about your voice.

I said it before I thought about what she would say.

“Has the undead process progressed?”

nod

She nodded and continued in a bitter tone.

“Yes. So… What’s your relationship with Evangeline, a member of the warrior’s party?”

“It’s just an old colleague. Why is that?”

As if pondering for a moment, Lorelia hesitated before finally opening her mouth.

“Even if something goes wrong… I hope you understand. She’s Evangeline’s younger sister. Can you save her?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Because that and this are different.

I’m not an idiot like that guy earlier.
