'They're so fast!'

Even Ellie, a pure elf, would never be able to keep up with the speed of those sentinels.

Not about the speed of flight, of course, but -

We're weaving through the forest at full speed.

The elves didn't seem to care about etiquette or anything like that, as if everything in the land was so primitive and wild.

The elf running in front, although the speed is the speed of a 100-meter sprint, his posture does not seem to be burdened.

The explosive power on both feet is probably comparable to the best engine made by man.

The legs, straddles, shoulders and arms all adjusted their postures with ease in accordance with his pace, which was a completely different feeling from a human who was good at movement.

It's as if they're better suited to this kind of action at the genetic level.

And how did you get this reaction speed?

Pap Sha –

A twig whipped on my leg and it hurt a little.

At this speed, just hitting it can create a lot of impact.

"Little ghost, look at it!"

"Don't make any noise if you just sit on my shoulder and give orders!"

"Shut up, I don't want to waste my energy running"

The little one looked up, and now she was more interested in the elves in the treetops.

Five or six archers, they didn't jump around like in the movies, they ran on flat ground.

It's just that when they step from one tree to another, their bodies will transform into a strange green mist of light, and then emerge from another tree.

So if you look up, the green light is constantly flashing around, which is a bit dazzling.

"That's certainly not teleportation magic"

The iron rule of teleportation magic is that it cannot be activated continuously.

After activating once, the mana will be disturbed, after all, even the body has been restructured, so you must wait for the mana turbulence to stabilize before you can teleport the next time.

Even Mespil can't unleash several teleportation spells at intervals.

They just used some means to forcibly channel their mana, such as Kyle's usual support magic.

And there are other, more serious side effects of this practice.

But now the elves running above us, they don't seem to have any turbulence at all.

"It's not teleportation magic, but it's too bad."

Even Ellie couldn't figure out how it worked.

For these elves dressed in green, there were no obstacles in the forest, it was like a transparent ocean.

Brush –

As he walked through the woods, something suddenly retreated from his sight.

Looking back, it turned out to be a hut.

The stone house, about two stories high, was built in the middle of several large trees, and the walls were covered with brown vines, which were camouflaged by dense green leaves.

So much so that I saw its presence only when I ran so close.

"Look ahead, look ahead"

Ouch, if you're not careful, you almost hit Ellie into the treetops.

The princess clasped my head tightly with both hands, as if she had forgotten that she was an elf.

"Can you see where we're headed?"

"Hmph, this doesn't bother me Ellie Heranna, probably towards the tower we just saw"

"Hey, you said 'probably', didn't you?"

"Not probably, for sure"

Even if the little guy stared at me seriously, he didn't get any protection from this guy's face.

"Hey, how far do we have to go?"

I shouted at the elf in front of me.

"Soon"

The answer is just two words.

As we got deeper and deeper into the heart of Bladetooth City, the forest began to grow with more buildings.

Because the concentration began to rise, these large and small houses and temples could no longer be hidden.

But without exception, the buildings are covered with other plants.

Unlike the Dawn Mountains, in the Sunrise Valley, the elven buildings are also hidden in the forest, but that is the work of magic.

In fact, the elves of the Dawn Mountains would clean their houses clean, not to mention Fujiman, and they would not even see moss.

The carvings and paintings are all brand new, and there is never a sense of age.

In contrast, the city ......

If only it could be called a city.

After all, there is no clear border between these buildings and the forest.

Isn't a city without facades and streets just ruins?

"Of course not"

Ellie dismissed me in one bite.

In the eyes of the princess, who is proficient in magic, this city is not much different from the Dawn Mountains or even the city of humans.

The flow of magic that fills the forest is the power of the city.

The little one had already understood the magic of the elves shuttling between the treetops, in fact, it was a magical circulation.

Right and Wrong –

A huge, complex, and powerful magical circulation filled the forest, connecting every tree.

This magic flow is the boundary and outer walls of Bladetooth City, and the magic flow in it is the streets of the city.

Although it does not appear to show any signs of human intervention, the city is no less large than Red Cliff City.

"Try this"

A passive detection spell that Elle learned from the White Wood Tower, but never used because of the heat of the scorched earth magic.

Two people work together to construct the spell, and then I cast the magic.

"Curse of Vision"

A research magic that temporarily shields the eyes from the perception of light, and only sensitizes the eyes to magic, as if wearing an inch mirror that a watchmaker uses to carefully observe delicate gears.

Ooh......

The surrounding light dimmed instantly, leaving only a deep sense of space, and you could see the bright lights in the distance, as if you were in space.

And what we are looking at is - dense lines of green like water, enveloping us.

It's like a passage through which we are shuttling.

And those elves in the treetops also happened to be running in the flow of mana, which was the source of their almost teleportation-like power.

Looking farther afield, there are even larger, larger streams of magic like tunnels or bridges.

Some are elevated, some are on the ground, as intricate as an overpass.

And like the urban transportation network, the whole area is flooded.

And all these mana flows are connected around a center-

The pyramid-shaped building, the magic that poured out of it like a waterfall, poured into these magic loops, and then returned to the building through other pathways.

It's like an engine.

Syllable!

"Ouch yo"

The scene was so wonderful that I forgot that we were still running at high speed, and a twig was whipped in my face with hatred.

But it was Princess Elle who cried out in pain.

Remove the spell and look back into the dense forest.

I have to admit that what Ellie said just now is completely correct, no matter what the external form is, the magnificence of this city is definitely not inferior to the Red Cliff City suspended between the cliffs.

Of course, this scale is certainly not comparable to that of El Gonda in the Dawn Mountains.

However, it is precisely because of its small size that the city is completely hidden in the forest.

"What do you think of the huge flow of mana you just saw?"

"Huh, huge?"

Princess Elle looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Of course, under the favor of the scorched earth elves, Ellie, who has a huge amount of magical power, will definitely not feel how shocking the scene just now is.

But my little heart was already pounding.

"It's just the result of accumulation"

"Accumulation?"

"The history of Bladefang City can be traced all the way back to the appearance of the elves, who have been hoarding magic for thousands of years"

"In that case, there won't be any difficulty in forming this scale."

"Wait, Meispier has been to the city for a long time?"

It occurred to me that one of the words that Messpear had Linda relay to us was, 'Bladetooth City certainly hasn't been affected by dragons yet'.

I wondered how he could be sure at the time, but now it seems that Mespier already knew that Bladetooth City had this level of magic.

"He must not have been here, have you forgotten that I used to visit other cities as an envoy?"

Oh yes, I'm running around with Elle too.

"Probably some kind of information source that only the Elf King can access."

"It's a waste not to use it when you have this kind of strength"

The princess apparently felt that the elves of Bladetooth City were too conservative.

But that's what characterizes them, they're as stubborn as a stone.

Therefore, Mespier's mission to me and Ellie was not to win over Bladetooth City at all.

Our purpose is simply –

Listen to the truth.
