Helmut
Episode 308
“Is this a human village?”
As he entered the entrance, Ygrel looked around.
It was still early, and Green Cana was immersed in the quiet mountain air.
The villagers have just opened their eyes and it is time to wash their faces one by one.
Ygrel didn’t know it, but Green Cana wasn’t even ordinary at first glance.
There was something unique about it that made it not like a village in the mountains, not even a city.
It has a straight and cute appearance with no shabby corners. The roof is also painted colorfully, such as green or blue. Although it did not have the splendor of a city, it was a well-maintained village.
When Helmut saw that, he realized right away.
‘The fact that people can afford to maintain a house means that there are people who have no problems making a living.’
Because wizards are a wealthy family. It is strange to think that there is such a well-maintained village in such a mountainous area.
Ygrel frowned and looked down.
“It is the spirit of the earth… … I definitely feel a strange energy. There is a powerful energy flowing down here… … .”
“It feels like I’ve entered some wizard’s dungeon. There is definitely a feeling that you have entered ‘a certain territory.’”
Area looked around and muttered with interest. She had once studied the spirit of Xian.
As I set foot in Green Cana, the village of spirit wizards, my dormant desire for exploration arose.
[Well, this Ella is not for you!]
Seeing him speak confidently, it seemed like he instinctively felt that he was stronger. I don’t know if his instincts are valid even after coming out of the forest of Pahe.
Ygrel scolded me.
“Elaga, why don’t you make a fuss and keep your mouth shut. “There is no such thing as a talking cat in the human world, right?”
Wow! Elaga bared her teeth to Ygrel. But he had agreed that he had to hide his identity.
As Xian watched them, his growing anxiety subsided.
‘Well, I guess it’ll be okay.’
This is the realm of the earth spirit. It is a place where no matter how strong a monster is, it cannot be stronger than the earth spirit.
They were just entering the village entrance. The dwarf-shaped stone monuments standing on either side of the entrance suddenly moved their mouths. A thin voice came out from the monument’s mouth.
[draft? Is it cyan?]
Xian received the words without any agitation.
“Yes, Mom. I’m here. As I said, we have some guests.”
[It seems so. Stay there. Her mom is on her way. Ah, but before me… … .]
“Xian, you bastard!”
A shouting sound was heard from far away. A man who looked too old to be called a young man, but for whom the word middle-aged was awkward, was seen running towards me with his fist raised.
[Your father… … … .]
My mother trailed off. She added quickly.
[I’m going too. Until then, take care of it.]
What do you need to do? Xian had a question, and soon found the answer to that question.
Because his father, who arrived in front of him, lunged at him with all his might.
Xian jumped to the side as if he was embarrassed. Xian’s father split the air, landed on the floor, and looked back at him. It was a light movement.
“This bastard? damage?”
“Father, what are you doing to embarrass us while we have guests?”
The model son sighed and gently scolded his father.
In fact, Xian’s father, Azer, who knew how to dodge and threw a double side kick, cleared his throat. He deliberately looked angry.
For the first time in a very long time, I had a chance to scold my son, who seemed to be an almost perfect model student.
“Hmm! Why is it that the father is trying to educate his wayward son? Sian, are you out of your mind? “You disappeared, leaving behind only one letter. Who on earth did you learn to do that from?”
Azer glared at Sian’s friends standing next to him, as if he was going to hunt down the person who taught Sian to do such a thing.
But his eyes stopped on Area and Ygrel.
There were two striking beauties who were hard to find even in the city. Even Charlotte, who has a more demure appearance, but is standing quietly behind her.
Only then did everyone in Xian’s group, which he had been unaware of due to his anger, come into view.
Although he said he was coming with friends, in Azer’s mind, Sian’s friends were more friendly and ordinary-looking people.
Even though they look like this, they are not a scary group in any other sense.
Azer stuttered without realizing it.
“Well, what is it? Xian, how could this be…? … .”
As he was about to ask, ‘Did you bring beauties?’, Azer closed his mouth. This is because he realized that the other person was Xian’s friend.
Although he didn’t seem like a friend, he did show an unsightly side to his son’s group anyway.
“I told you I would come and explain. “There were circumstances.”
Sian responded calmly. Afterwards, he lived his whole life as a model student who was rumored to have even rehabilitated Asuka.
A flawless aura emanated from him, telling me that I had done nothing wrong and that I could not do anything wrong.
The savvy Xian knew that in times like these, he had to go out with confidence.
“I heard your mother is coming, let’s meet and talk.”
The villagers came out one by one and glanced at them.
It’s not that the people of Green Cana can’t be trusted, but I was with a group of people who didn’t want to be noticed. Sightseeing is a specification.
“Your mother is coming, so who are they?”
“This is Helmut, this is Area, this is Asuka…” … .”
Xian quickly and half-heartedly pointed out each person one by one, introducing his group to Azer by name only.
Of course, Elaga, the cat, was left out.
Elaga sat on Helmut’s shoulder and meowed dissatisfiedly. She was, no one could doubt, the perfect cat.
Elaga’s fur looked especially white when she was with Helmut, who had dark hair and eyes.
Fortunately for Azer, he was surrounded by so many notable people that he didn’t have time to pay attention to the cat.
“This is Ygrel.”
While the others bowed slightly in greeting, when it was their turn, Igrel walked forward.
She asked, looking down at Azer with arrogant eyes.
“Hi, what is your name?”
Azer looked at Ygrel, who proudly treated him with disdain despite being a member of his son’s group, with dumbfounded eyes.
“No, there is such a spoiled woman! “You look so pale and young, why is your way of speaking like that?”
Xian hastily added.
“This person is not my friend.”
“Are you so young?”
Ygrel burst out laughing.
“That’s what I’m going to tell you, baby.”
“Oh, baby?”
“Yes, isn’t it difficult for you wizards to judge age just by looking?”
Azer’s expression hardened as he looked closely at the gorgeous beauty in front of him.
He was a fairly skilled spirit wizard.
Even so, he wasn’t at the level of being able to see through Heike’s magic, but it was only then that he noticed something was strange. Azer’s eyes were alert.
“… … But you are no ordinary wizard. It’s strange, this energy… … . “Who are you?”
“The name of this body is Ygrel. “Isn’t it known in the human world?”
Ygrel’s red eyes gave off a strange light. It was a look that felt somehow dangerous.
When Azer was about to summon the spirit, a voice came from behind.
“Step back, Azer.”
“Terra.”
A woman with a gentle appearance who looked exactly like Xian was standing there.
The woman was different from fellow spirit wizards Azer and Xian.
A huge and heavy energy vaguely felt from her. As if some transcendent being was watching her back.
Some people there noticed right away.
‘She is Rodril, who made a contract with the Earth Spirit.’
Azer stood next to her with a stern face. Rodril, who made a contract with the Earth Spirit, is Terra.
Terra made eye contact with Sian. She scolded in a low voice.
“Sian, I don’t blame you for disappearing and leaving behind only a letter. But I can’t believe you’re bringing such danger to Green Cana! “You should have at least told me in advance!”
Xian scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face.
“Mother, please listen to me.”
Sian also had a reason. He is with beings outside of common sense.
You had to see it with your own eyes, the chances of convincing her with words were low.
This is because Rodil has a tendency not to tolerate any danger in this Green Cana, which is protected by the Earth Spirit.
Just commit and see. It was Sian who thought of it with the same mindset as picking up a cat from the street.
The idea was simple, but he had his reasons. There is a reason why these people have to face her mother.
Ygrel shrugged his shoulders.
“Human woman. There is no need to get excited. “Because I don’t eat humans.”
“This Green Cana is a monster. It’s also a monster with intelligence! In my entire life, I have never seen a monster in human form and speaking human language. “Where on earth did this monster appear, and why is it with you?”
Terra urged with a stern expression. Even Xian seemed wary of her now. Beside her, Azer asked back with a stiff expression.
“A monster? “Not a warlock?”
“I feel a distorted essence. That image isn’t real. Incredibly condensed demon energy. “I’ve never heard of such a monster!”
“Still, it’s the magic of someone called the Grand Wizard, and it’s quite good. Can you see through it well? “She’s a human woman.”
A threatening energy rose from Terra. Her doubts deepened.
“The archmage helped the monster? If it’s an artifact, is it Heike? “What is the Archmage doing with the monsters?”
“Mr. Ygrel… … .”
‘You say you won’t cause an accident?’ Sian looked at Ygrel with a look telling him to shut up. I was going to reveal it gradually, but it created tension from the beginning like this.
‘As expected, this bird head can’t be trusted.’
Even in the forest of Pahe, didn’t they just pretend to cooperate with them and eat the golem?
In order to achieve your own goals, you should not trust and leave others who will do anything to achieve their goals.
Ygrel nodded as if interested.
“But human woman, it seems like I’m the only monster you see in your eyes.”
[I know.]
Elaga opened her mouth and yawned as if she was bored. Terra’s expression became more determined than before after witnessing the talking cat.
“There were two, not one.”
And soon her gaze shifted to Helmut.
“three? no. you… … .”
“Mother, they are not dangerous. If they were dangerous, I wouldn’t have brought them in. First, let’s change seats.”
Xian pointed to the crowd of villagers with a nod.
Terra looked intently into Xian’s eyes as if reading.
Soon her mouth opened.
“okay.”
