Chapter 276
A black sun rose over the sky which was colored in twilight .
Humans and fairies fought desperately on the blood-reddened earth .
“Kill them!”
“The descendants of Abaron, dry away from the seeds of humans!”
“How dare the slaves act!”
“Stop them! Don’t ever take a step back, for the glory of mankind!”
As cries of anger and pain rose from both sides, the battle reached its end, the grey mist was hovering over the horizon .
The ones who were barely alive and those who managed not to die walked out from the mist . The blood-stained earth and the twilight sky began to turn gray .
It was time for everything to erode with silence, light, and death .
A silver giant broke through the gray mist .
The giant which had light in one hand and darkness in the other clasped both its hands .
Kwarrrng!
Along with a terrifying growl, a brilliantly colored rainbow stretched from the giant’s hand, and the gray mist began to retreat .
‘A dream?’
Erwin woke up to the shout of a morning hen .
Waking up she realized that she was in a strange place .
‘Village? I must have fallen in the field…’
Erwin recalled seeing a human knight when she lost her consciousness .
‘Was I saved by him?’
Knock, knock .
At the sudden knock, Erwin looked at her clothes .
Her wounds were all healed, and she was lying down in a small but comfortable bed . She wasn’t sure who the visitor was but knew that he wouldn’t harm her .
“Please come in . ”
When the permission to enter fell, the door opened with an elderly knight coming in headfirst .
The unrefined beard and old armor which made him look like a mercenary of history .
It was evident from the mana waves that he was the same man who had come to her when she lost her consciousness .
“Is your body alright?” Asked the elderly knight .
“Yes, all thanks to you . ”
When Erwin thanked him politely, the knight smiled .
“I am Erwin Lesa . And you must be…?” Asked Erwin .
“My name? you can just call me Rick . And you don’t have to feel grateful to me . It is natural to help someone in need . ”
Erwin smiled a little at Rick’s words .
When she had first come across Luke, she remembered him saying something very similar to that .
Anyway, she was just glad to have met a nice person .
There were quite a number of humans who didn’t consider Elves to be of the same social statue and tried to make them into slaves of selling them off .
“But, Erwin was it? It is a name that I seemed to have heard a lot about…”
Erwin took Rick’s reaction normally .
More than a 100 years ago, she had developed the technique to artificially produce the magic stones .
The production of artificial magic stones brought about a revolution in the world of magic, and she had turned into a famous figure in the continent’s magic world .
The elder fairies weren’t very fond of her .
Because of that achievement, many people had heard the name of Erwin’s even though she wasn’t a wizard .
However, it wasn’t because of the production of the artificial magic stone that Rick had known her .
“Yeah, it is very similar to the elf who saved me . His name was…”
“Was it Erenes?” Asked Erwin .
When Erwin asked if it was Erenes .
Rick bumped his clenched fists and nodded .
“Right . It was Erenes . Around 20 years ago, he saved me and gave me some very precious medicine . Is he your father, Erwin?”
“No . he was my teacher . ”
“Really? Huhu, this is a strange coincidence . I was saved by the teacher and I saved his disciple . ”
Erwin’s eyes were red .
Rick’s words about it being a coincidence weren’t true . Erenes had the eyes which could look into the future .
‘Teacher, I am alive because of your arrangement . ’
Erwin wiped the tears away from her eyes .
Rick noticed her emotional outburst and kept silent, so he looked at the window .
A guy cleaning the chimney on the opposite roof was staring at them .
Camouflaged as a cleaner, but it seemed like the man was a dark elf .
Probably the same gang of creatures he saw yesterday .
Honestly, Rick had a fairly bad relationship with the fairies . It was because he had helped a few men destroy their families .
However, it was a fairy who had saved his life .
He had tried to forget everything he did that for the past 20 years, but the pain and grudge in his heart hadn’t disappeared .
So, if possible he never wanted to go back to Volga Republic, so, when he saw a fairy from the Volga in there, he was very grateful .
‘Still far from weeping . ’
Rick shook the thoughts from his head and asked Erwin .
“Miss . Erwin, did you commit any sins against the fairies of the Republic?”
“No, it is they who want to sin, and are after me . They…”
“Let’s talk more about this on our way . I think that it would be better for us to get out of this inn . Before anymore annoying men come in…”
“… understood . ” Erwin responded .
Rick covered the window with the curtain .
In the meantime, Erwin along with Rick escaped from the back door of the Inn .
Soon after they left the village, they diligently ran towards the southeastern side of the Holy Arthenia Empire .
“I am very sorry that you have been involved in such a situation because of me . ”
“It is okay . I am helping the disciple of his . ”
Rick shook his hands saying that he didn’t mind while staring at Erwin and asked .
“But we can’t keep running away . And is there anyone who can help you?”
“There is someone to whom I need to tell something and it is more important than asking for help . Probably in Bless by now…”
“Bless? Well, it is nice that my destination is there too . ” Answered Rick .
“To Bless?”
“Exactly . They heard from men that his son earned a huge title from the last civil war . ”
Rick boasted but soon spoke with a mixture of loneliness and doubt .
“You know, a son who can’t be alive is getting…” Said Rick .
‘He can’t be alive? What the hell is the story behind it?’
She was curious, but Erwin wasn’t able to speak to Rick who had a long face .
