To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Episode 746 The Great Operation Before the Elf Village (3)

An elegant, unprocessed round table.

Aira brought the elf tea with warm steam rising.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

The voice was calmer than I thought.

After all, it seemed like a year or so was nothing to the elves.

“I’ve been fine.”

“joy. I thought so. After all, I had to hear about you through a human named Hafman.”

Aira turned her head away as she handed over the tea.

no.

It wasn’t that he didn’t care because elves had a long lifespan.

It was because he was sulking that his voice felt calm.

Lacia said while drinking tea.

“Just don’t get mad like that. Well, my brother sometimes let me hear his voice.”

Those words were like pouring oil on a burning house.

Aira’s head, which she wanted to see at least from the side, was now completely turned back.

“I’ve been a little busy in the Kingdom of Greyman.”

“I guess you had time to contact your sister.”

The elf’s dignity, which had lived for almost a thousand years, collapsed after a few contact.

Aira immediately smiled and waved her hand.

“Okay, I was just kidding. Anyway, what happened this time? Judging by her complexion, she probably didn’t come here just to see her face.”

If you notice this much, you are now a ghost.

what would you do if you turned around

Ray said directly.

“Did you hear about the principality?”

“I heard it well. They say that a little bitch is ruling.”

Probably referring to the Goblin Queen.

“Suddenly, the development of the territory is coming to an end. I plan to declare the kingdom as soon as I return, but I don’t know how the surrounding kingdoms will react.”

“Humans envy each other.”

“huh. To be honest, there’s no law that Celia won’t turn around.”

Possibility is there.

That a kingdom would be created in a nearby region.

From Celia’s point of view, it was like the person they appointed as the duke declared absolute independence, so there was a reason why they lost face in other kingdoms.

Celia Kingdom is the center of intermediary trade.

If they had a bad heart and refused to trade, the damage to the principality would be enormous.

I told Hafman to prepare for it just in case, but it was good in many ways to be friendly with him if possible.

And the most important part happens when he gets along with Celia.

‘Because there’s no way the black room would just leave that figure alone.’

Even so, the Principality of Soleil is getting stronger day by day.

If you lead several allies and get close to Celia, you will be able to create a huge force capable of dealing with the Lessian Empire.

No matter how strong the power of the Black Room is, it is natural that they are reluctant to the appearance of another powerful force.

From their point of view, it could be said that it was best to cut down the power by hitting Celia before that.

Ray told Aira everything.

At first, she listened lightly, but as the story progressed, she gradually began to struggle.

Aira, who brushed the side of her hair behind her ear, let out a small breath.

“So that means this might not be a safe place anymore.”

“I’m not sure, but it’s possible.”

“He who rules the village must not gamble on the odds. If there is any danger, it is the right thing to do.”

She closed her eyes and thought for a long time.

Was it time for a cup of tea?

Aira opened her mouth.

“You probably want to abandon this place and move to the principality, right?”

It’s okay if you pretend.

I didn’t even use the eyes of truth, but my insides were exposed.

Ray nodded.

“At least it will be safer than here.”

Even if it was a bit dreary for elves to live.

Shouldn’t life come first?

It could be dangerous if you think about the environment, so I didn’t bother to say it behind my back.

Aira let out a drool once, perhaps to reaffirm her resolve.

“It is not very pleasant to move a site that has not left for thousands of hundreds of years to my generation. But this will also be necessary.”

For an elf, moving a village was like abandoning a kingdom and establishing a new one in a new place for humans.

That requires a lot of determination and commitment.

“How long will it take?”

“I wish I could do it within the next 10 days, but… if it’s impossible, even a month is fine.”

“Ten days… It seems possible.”

“Eh?”

To be honest, I said this without expecting much, but when I heard the answer that it was possible, I was rather surprised.

Lacia, who was reading next to her, quietly closed the book.

“I will help you.”

“Will you do that?”

“This is what my older brother did. If you don’t help as a younger sister, that’s not a duty.”

“Lacia.”

My eyes were touched.

Whenever Lacia is around, her back is always strong.

Even if his words and actions were a little harsh, he was able to entrust the work with peace of mind because there were no gaps in his handling of work.

she said, coughing.

“Your brother, please don’t be moved by things like this.”

As the two siblings were confirming their strong brotherly love, Aira’s eyes drew a half moon.

“I know we’re on good terms, but I want you to restrain yourself. Rather, there is something I want to check before moving the village.”

“huh. tell me anything.”

“Elves cannot survive without a forest. I wish there were enough forests to hold at least this village.”

“Mmm.”

Aira came to stab the painful part.

Although a lot of territory has been developed, the Duchy of Soleil was originally unexplored.

Even if you go out a little outside, monsters are infested, and only the desolate light brown land continues, so unless you climb a mountain range, there is almost no forest.

Almost all of the nearby forest was cut down to make up for the lack of wood, so it could be said that the forest that Aira wanted was virtually non-existent.

Ray thought of some countermeasures against that.

Among them, the one that seemed most likely was to use the surrender.

‘Still, he’s the highest level spirit of the wind, so wouldn’t it be possible to do something with his personal connections?’

I don’t know here, but in the spirit realm, he’s a guy who uses a little bit of strength.

If you call the spirit of the earth and make it work, wouldn’t it be possible to manage a few forests?

I tried calling Soonbok as a test.

He let out his voice while concentrating his mana.

‘Sunbok.’

-Yes? What kind of bastard calls out the spirit he saw?

‘Is there anything other than the owner who can call your name?’

It’s a somewhat familiar voice.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never had a conversation like this before.

Only then did Soonbok realize that it was Ray and changed his tone.

– What are you doing?

The desire to live is felt in his voice.

Ray skipped greetings and said.

‘Do you know of any spirits around you?’

It’s a fairly blunt tone, as if a vicious back alley pimp were asking.

‘If you have, please introduce yourself. I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that it was because there was a shortage of slaves.

As the same spirit, Soonbok, who had strong camaraderie, cast a smoke screen.

-Where did your older brother give you time to network? doesn’t exist.

‘It’s no fun if you play around already. Because it can be summoned.’

As long as he was bound by a contract, Sunbok had to respond to Ray’s summons whenever he wanted.

It was sad that he, the highest-ranking spirit, had to work for a human territory, but now that he was destined to be summoned, his life was hard.

However, the law is far away and the fist is close.

Soonbok was willing to sell his comrades for his own comfort.

-Just say who needs it.

‘I want to make a forest.’

-Among the spirits I know, there is a guy who is amazingly good at land construction. Shall I call you now?

‘no. done. I’ll call you as soon as I return to the principality, so wait for me.’

lived

Soonbok thought it was fortunate that he had managed his personal connections.

After cutting off the mana connection, Ray looked at Aira and said.

“There are enough forests.”

“…It takes quite a while to reply. Was it something to think about?”

“I got some advice from an expert in that field.”

Aira tilted her head at the incomprehensible sound, but did not ask further.

“I get it. And I want the forest to be as quiet as possible. I wish there was a distance from the mines and human habitation.”

“don’t worry.”

What remains is the land.

Besides, it’s not something to brag about, but there were a limited number of places where veins came out in the Duchy’s territory, so there was no chance that the veins and elven villages overlapped unless you had really bad luck.

If overlapping things happen, then.

The hellish days of watching the battle between elves and dwarves day by day will begin.

Aira, relieved by Ray’s confirmation, leaned deeply against the back of the chair.

“That should give you peace of mind. If you keep the promise, we will finish preparing to move the village within 10 days.”

“Ah, come to think of it, the magic circle in the village is…”

“It’s okay, since I’ll handle that with Lacia. When I enter a new town, I want to ask for your help. Will you help me?”

Who would say no?

Not to mention slave traders very thoroughly, I plan to enclose a barrier so that not even a single child of a mouse or ant can enter.

If anything, I was thinking of making a double barrier so that the work of the guardian, Pia, would be reduced a little.

Without knowing what kind of town is taking shape in Ray’s head.

Ira smiled contentedly.

“You have no choice but to make a lot of demands in the position of being in charge of the village. He must have said it with us in mind… I apologize.”

what is an apology

Just by relocating the elven village under the leadership of the high elves, the military power is considerably increased.

Regardless of whether they are involved in the war or not.

In addition to that, if the black room were to touch the elven village, Aira wouldn’t stand still either.

Taking the elven village out of the kingdom of Celia started out of concern for them, but it is also true that there was a calculation to win against the black room to some extent.

I’m sorry to the elves, but it’s such a huge force that they can’t win otherwise.

Finally, it was decided to bring the elven village into the principality.

The Duchy of Soleil, including the Kingdom of Heron, the Kingdom of Gleiman, and even the Kingdom of Devon, achieved a tremendous increase in power.

There was a village of high elves inside with a half-man on his back, so he was no match for any other kingdom.

With that done, the preparation is complete.

Ray slowly made up his mind to head to Celia’s royal family.
