Chapter 764

#764 You are waiting.

* * *

The far distant past.

before the dawn of civilization.

It is said that primitive humans were so uncivilized that they were no different from beasts.

It was unavoidable.

From natural disasters such as disease and starvation to floods, to monsters that devour continents like predators.

It was because mankind at the time, suffering from numerous disasters, had a hard time just surviving day-to-day, let alone making and cultivating something.

But one day.

Because human history has changed.

The trigger was the descent of the ancient spirits.

One day, the ancient spirits that suddenly appeared showed infinite goodwill to mankind that they could relate to.

Thanks to the blessings and blessings of those spirits, mankind has finally come to the top of all species by arranging letters and languages, overcoming disasters.

That is the birth of civilization.

It is the beginning of human history.

It was the moment when the golden age opened.

But like all history, the golden age did not happen overnight.

Some tribes that sprouted civilizations with the blessings of spirits passed it on to other tribes over several decades.

Beyond borrowing the power of the spirits, shamans who directly study and handle their skills are born.

Defeat all kinds of disasters, including predators, to secure a place for mankind to live.

And to spread technology and knowledge across the continent.

The process took place gradually, step by step, over hundreds of years.

And at its center was a city.

no need whatsoever.

Always overflowing with abundance.

Full of knowledge and skills.

It is a city of blessing created by ancient spirits.

A country where everything is made of gold, which is also the reason why the beginning of civilization was called the Golden Age.

That is El Dorado, the fairy kingdom.

From the resurrection of the seven dragons to the Great Spirit Rebellion.

It was an immortal golden town that had never collapsed even in countless disasters.

“It’s still here.”

Sitting in a wheelchair, looking up at the walls of the ancient city, Limon stuck out his tongue.

A city like this was built in the golden age.

Even as a person who has lived for a long time… No, it was something that I couldn’t help but admire even more because of that.

[Seeing that it’s still the same, I guess you’ve been here before?

]

about 500 years ago.

When the North American continent was in chaos.

Recalling the memory of fighting against the fallen spirits in cooperation with the ancient spirits and spirit squadrons, Limon added a word.

“In the end, I had to go back after only looking at the walls.”

[…You’ve been living since the Bronze Age, but have you ever entered the Fairy Kingdom?]

“Because the relationship between me and the Fairy Kingdom is complicated.”

The Bronze Age of the past.

The Fairy Kingdom signed a peace treaty with the Golden Dragon Army, which had invaded the North American continent.

Of course, if you put it that way, the Divine League, which signed an agreement with Ji Baekryong Hyeon-gun, was similar.

However, the positions of the gods, who rushed to Tartarus and almost surrendered, and the fairy kingdom, which even failed to capture even the golden dragon army, had to be different.

In the end, unlike the Holy League, which gave its dominion, the fairy kingdom kept its sovereignty on an equal footing.

In other words, it was practically an ally of the seven dragons.

And that pact persisted even after the end of the Bronze Age.

The fact that the Golden Dragon clan has exclusively traded EK products for the past hundreds of years was evidence that the agreement at the time was still maintained.

[…That means that the fairy kingdom is hostile to the team leader, right?]

“Because worldly things aren’t that simple.”

Limon laughed.

Enemies because they are close to each other is something that even ignorant children would say.

whether it is an alliance of alliances.

Whether it is an enemy country of an enemy country.

It was the basics of international diplomacy to adjust the distance with the other party according to gains and losses rather than friendship and to draw a minimum line even with the enemy.

Of course, there are countries that have started a war with personal feelings.

At least the fairy kingdom.

And Limon didn’t.

Limon, the protector of mankind, had no reason to confuse the world by confronting the fairy kingdom.

The Fairy Kingdom had never been hostile to Limon in order to help or protect the Seven Dragons.

That’s why we were able to cooperate with each other during the Spirit Rebellion.

At that time, the Golden Dragon clan also helped protect the people from the corrupted spirits, so it was not particularly unexpected.

“Well, in the end, after the spirit uprising was over, I went into seclusion and couldn’t even approach it.”

Until the spirit uprising broke out, millions of people lived in the vicinity, commanding numerous satellite cities.

However, Yuna-kyung shyly asked Limon, who was muttering bitterly as he looked back at the surrounding scenery where only the dense forest remained.

[…If you can’t access it, why did you come here?]

“That’s because the situation is different now than before.”

[If it’s changed… You’re on the side of the Seven Dragons, so there’s no reason for the fairy kingdom to stop visiting?] ”

Well, that’s one of the things that’s changed.”

Limon laughed.

The fairy kingdom’s seclusion is stubborn.

Even if the princess of the Seven Dragons came to visit, they would be turned away at the door.

No matter how much he settled his grudge with the Seven Dragons and joined hands, it is not a reason for the Fairy Kingdom to accept him.

But Limon wasn’t too worried.

Also because of the sword master’s intuition.

It wasn’t even because I believed in it.

It was because he knew that the Fairy Kingdom would not reject him just for today.

Because…

“Push it, dark dog.”

“…if you ask me to push it to the track, I’ll gladly listen.”

“Sorry, but it’s still too early to go back. Let’s go forward, not backward.”

The maid raised her eyes.

Charlotte glared at Limon, but eventually pushed his wheelchair forward.

That was the moment when the young man, the maid, and the strange group of bluebirds approached the majestically towering golden wall.

Koo Goo Goo Palace.

[Hey?]

Yuna-gyeong blinked when she saw that the gate in the middle of the huge castle wall had been opened.

Charlotte stopped walking.

Because I knew.

The fact that this golden gate has never been opened in the last 500 years since it was closed when the Fairy Kingdom went into lockdown.

While watching as if only Limon knew it would happen.

What emerged from the wide open door was a group of people.

“welcome.”

“Guardian of humanity.”

“Heir to the oath.”

“Miracle illegitimate son.”

A beautiful appearance like a piece.

A strange outfit that seems to be woven with silver thread.

Ears that are longer than normal and pointy.

Even a calm atmosphere where emotions are not revealed.

Hundreds of beautiful women bowed their heads in unison, as if something more like a person than a person was imitating a person.

Then he slightly lifted his head and looked directly at them and said calmly.

“―The Queen is waiting for you.”

* * *

“You should have arrived by now.”

Dalgrak.

From her dark red curly hair to the dress that reveals her voluptuous figure.

The bewitching beauty who will catch men’s attention at a glance wherever she goes, swallows a sip of tea and smiles slightly.

“Aren’t you worried about the groom, green sweetheart?”

“Hey, what a useless question.”

As always.

Maia, a green-haired beauty with a pessimistic sneer, put down her teacup and said.

“If you have time to worry about my husband, do your job right.”

“Even a baby, you never be so sharp about something you just said, right?”

“I think you are good at talking.”

Maia snorted lightly.

The only thing that looks kind is the appearance.

How this legendary witch, who has lived since the Silver Age, has a knack for teasing people.

That’s because she was able to fully understand it in the short amount of time she had encountered since her stay in Quetzalcoatl.

That’s why the groom who enslaved such a great witch was even more amazing.

And as a bride, Maia, who had the right to mistreat her groom’s slaves, was straightforward.

“How is the post-mortem condition?”

The deepest part of this Quetzalcoatl.

When asked about the sword master, who was unconscious and connected to the life support system, Sir put on a strange expression.

“It is still stable.”

“It means you don’t know what will happen in the future.”

“Of course I’m doing my best, but you never know what’s going to happen in the world.”

If it’s lame, lame words.

But Maia knew.

That Sir’s words are by no means an excuse, but a clear fact.

It was because the state of Anastasia, the current swordsman, that even she, the most righteous woman in the world, could not dare to assure of her revival.

And since it had nothing to do with medicine, the witch who rather found the possibility of reviving the sword continued with a smile on her face

.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m trying to find something to help my son’s pupil, but at my age, you have to have something to ride in order to go out on your own.”

“…it’s unexpected. I didn’t know that you would voluntarily do something you didn’t ask for.”

“There is nothing I can do about it. I’ve dealt with all the other sword masters, but if I can’t find a disciple, Aga will try to hit me in the neck first.”

“….”

Knowing that no matter how wrong the examination, Limon would never vent his anger like that.

Maia, who had been looking at the legendary archwitch who dared to go through hardships, eventually opened her mouth with a cynicism.

“Do whatever you want. After all, you’re not much help in maintaining the state of the sword.”

“That’s fortunate.”

If the first doctor in the world would take care of the swordsman himself, he would be able to leave with peace of mind.

I looked at Sir as he smiled and lifted the teacup again.

Maia suddenly opened her mouth.

“I have a question for you.”

“What do you mean? The secret of my youth?”

“Hey, do you think I need something like that?”

“Well, that’s how it is. There is no concept of aging in your lineage.”

As a woman, that’s really embarrassing.

Maia brought the main topic to Sir, who muttered with a strange smile.

“What kind of being is the Fairy Queen?”

“Huh… It seems that he is worried about the groom.”

“It’s okay to talk, so please answer me.”

I don’t know if it’s someone else.

If she had been active since the Silver Age and was even called the Queen of Sorcery, wouldn’t she know more about the Fairy Queen?

Looking at Maia who pointed out coldly.

Sir smiled.

“Honestly, there is only one thing I can tell you about ‘Him’.”

“What is it?”

“That I don’t know.”

“…”

“Because he was a mysterious being not only to me and other archwitch, but also to other gods including my grandfather, the sun god Helios.”

Inherit the lineage of God.

A half-human, half-god great witch who has lived since the age of silver, when myths lived and breathed.

Sir added a word, saying that there are opponents who are difficult and difficult to understand even for such a person.

“There is one thing I can assure you of.”

“Which one?”

“He may be a human being, but you shouldn’t think of him as a human being.”

“…”

“In that sense, I’m a little curious.”

Looking at the silent Maia.

With a bewitching smile.

Sir said languidly.

“How will a child be treated by the one who treated even my grandfather as a child?”
