Mespier said I have an obligation to protect the elves that dwell in the Dawn Mountains. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Kyle gave me another dagger.

Does that mean I'm going to war?

"Kyle, am I going to the front too?"

The big elf looked at me with an appreciative expression.

"It's really brave for a human being"

He seems to have misunderstood what I meant, I just asked......

"Worthy of a man whom King Maispear also admired"

Looks like he really misunderstood what I meant.

"But you're not an elven warrior, I really can't let you go to the front"

Whew—it's okay, I'm finally relieved.

"If you wish to do your duty, then go back to Ergonda and protect the people there"

"This is the same great and glorious task as the guards of the royal city"

Kyle nodded at me, as if in greeting.

Then he pointed to a ship in the distance.

Belch...... Anyway, it shouldn't be a bad thing to leave a good impression on his heart.

After saying goodbye to Kyle.

I picked up the wooden box and boarded the flying ship back to the royal city.

Mespier's last instruction to me was to do what Kyle had to do.

Kyle gave me an arrangement to go back to the royal city.

Well, it looks like I'm just going to have to stay in the city.

Well, in the end, I have no grievances with those cave people, and there is no need to run to fight them to the death.

But......

Responsibility, is it......

I've never taken that word so seriously.

I almost never thought that the word would be so close to me.

When Liu Xiao came to me, he simply felt that he had the responsibility to take care of her.

But that responsibility seems to be different from the current responsibility.

After three trials, he got an elf name.

Thus I have my own surname, which represents my strength, shows my status, and symbolizes my duty.

For a high school student like me, it may have been a little early.

But really, from this series of events, I felt compelled to do something for these elves.

"The Defensive ...... of the Castle"

Well, that's what I'm going to do as an important mission.

I put the wooden box on the deck, opened it, and took out my own sword from inside.

But...... How do you wear this thing when you're not fighting?

"Excuse me"

There were a lot of elven soldiers on the ship who seemed to be good at fighting, so I casually found a conversation.

"Oh, Issadur, how can I help you?"

Ay?

Unexpectedly, he actually knew about me, did I become a celebrity?

"That...... Is there any way to put the dagger up, do you really need a scabbard?"

"Hum hahaha"

The elf, who was two heads taller than me, laughed.

Look at my saber with the look of a toy.

"There are a lot of leash ropes in the cabin, you can find one and tie it around your lap or waist"

"It's very convenient, you can skip the weight of the scabbard, and you can just grab the sword and cut the leather rope when you need it."

"Provided, of course, that it's sharp enough."

I don't know how, but I seem to be being teased?

Anyway, thank him in advance.

"Thank you"

I nodded.

He smiled and waved at me, as if to say, don't tease, kids, go home, the same.

When I went down to the cabin, there were many kinds of materials piled up on the ground, and the leather ropes that the elves said were indeed scattered in a large pile.

Pick one up, it's light and thin, but it's tough, and I doubt the blade can actually cut it.

Tie the knots with two leather ropes, tie the hilt and the blade of the sword respectively, and tie them to your right thigh.

It's really easy to move.

A few dozen minutes later, the flying ship docked, docked on the golden mountainside of El Gonda.

That's what it is...... Next I'm going to protect the city.

Although I glanced at the entrance of the ladder in front of me, the row of heavily armed elven guards, I knew that I didn't need to do this work.

What a contradiction......

It seems that no matter what world you are in, the weak are always looked down upon.

I asked for directions all the way to the door of the big library.

But what I have to do is not to go in and look for Ai Li and Liu Xiao.

Now what I'm going to do is patrol like a real guard under the walls of the Great Library.

Defending Princess Ellie and defending Liu Xiao is an order I gave myself.

Look up and see the golden walls towering between the rocks.

It doesn't seem to be painted gold, but the metallic color of the rocks in the mountains.

Under the sun, it becomes shiny.

This explains why the royal city doesn't sparkle at night.

Circling around such a large palace is not an easy task.

If it were in normal times, it would only be stupid to do so.

But I now know that it makes sense, too.

An assassin he encountered in Red Cliff City.

Although he was temporarily forgotten by Mespier, I still remember him.

He was dressed in red, blending in with the buildings of Red Cliff City.

It was only at the moment when he pulled the string and released the arrow to attack that I vaguely discovered his presence.

Perhaps there are other Assassins lurking in the royal city right now.

'Impossible, little ghost, don't think about it'

Hey——?

Ellie's telepathy?

'Don't do that, it's scary'

'Oh my god, it's been an hour, and you're buzzing around, like flies, going and going, going somewhere else.'

It's strange that Elle didn't come out to look for me, and she didn't let me have some fun with her, but told me to play elsewhere and not disturb her.

It seems that she and Liu Xiao have gained something in the big library.

At the very least, there was something interesting enough that attracted her.

I went back to the door of the Great Library and prepared to go back to the cabin.

At this time—

Poof!

A huge flame rose from the front of the door.

Frightened, I quickly grabbed the hilt of the dagger.

The flames turned into a fiery red cloak, and the huge cloth fell in the hot wind of the flames and slowly spread on the ground.

Like a red carpet.

The elves that emerged from the flames wore silvery-white light armor with a silvery-white metal ring on top of their heads.

A pair of silver-white eyes cast a calm and deep gaze on me.

I hurriedly got down on one knee.

"His Majesty Maspil"

"What are you doing here"

He didn't seem to expect me to be in this place.

"On Kyle's orders, ready to defend Elgunda"

Mespier's gaze swept over the tigertooth dagger on my lap.

"Humm, hehe"

Maispear smiled softly.

Then he looked up and looked at the main entrance of the large library.

This deep corridor leads to the lobby of the library.

There are countless doors on either side of the hallway, each leading to a room full of books.

"Come with me"

Maispear turned and walked down.

The Elf King didn't seem to be in a hurry to go in and find Elle and Liu Xiao.

Following him, we once again came to the treasure house where we had been in the morning.

Then, in silence and silence, the two men began to walk towards the depths of the treasury.

"Does that sword have a name?"

Maispear came out of nowhere, breaking the silence between us, as if he couldn't stand the silence either.

"Nope"

"Don't underestimate weapons made of soulful materials"

Oh?

Everyone else laughed at me, but King Mespil unexpectedly looked up to the dagger?

"Spiritual weapons are more effective with less"

"Some are even powerful"

"Elven forgers have worked hard to infuse their weapons with spirituality"

"But such weapons often don't end well"

"In the long history, weapons forged only by manpower can leave a name."

"Most of the weapons that have played a huge role have been made directly from soulful materials"

"Like my Flame Sword Mespil"

Speechless...... Although what Mespier said is very reasonable, how can the teeth of a big cat be compared to your heavenly fire.

I've experienced the power of that sword myself, and I've never wanted to see it again in my life.

"You can control the weapon only after you have insight into the spirituality"

"If you can control it, you can exert unpredictable power"

"The weapon follows the shape of the owner, and often makes a weapon terrible, not only the weapon itself, but also the holder"

After going around for a long time, Meispil, are you saying that it is not my short sword that is underestimated, but me?

"Isadur, you are powerful"

Maispear turned around and looked at me with a pair of unwavering silver-white eyes, and said this.

I have to say, hey, that's a lot more confident.

Even if it was a lie, I decided to be fooled.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

I smiled sheepishly.

"Of course, your power does not come from your human body, but from your Patron Spirit"

Call......

Have you ever been on a roller coaster? Before every crazy downstroke, you have to climb first.

I'm on a rollercoaster ride right now.

was praised by Mespier, and when he was proud, he came again.

Believe it or not, I'll cry to your face.

"So now I'm here to help you and get insight into your Patronus"

Well?

Uh-huh?

Could it be that this is what Mespier told me earlier, to teach me how to use the power of the Patron Elves?

That's great!

In just a few minutes, my mind went up and down several times, and I was a little confused.

Woo –

This guy is a good guy.

At least, a man of his word.
