The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 286

Episode 286

“You’ve really changed a lot.”

“A lot of time has passed, and you must have gone through a lot of hardships in another world.”

Raoul and Ravel were heading east through the center of the elemental jungle where the World Tree was located.

They felt the presence of elves watching them from a distance, but they didn’t pay any attention.

“In the past, they were still people with pure hearts. “It is true that change is necessary, but it is unfortunate that it seems to have changed in a bad way.”

“I know. “Nothing good can come from being so harsh.”

Raoul, who had met orcs, dwarves, and now elves, was confident.

The fact that the mainstream of Connect is not them, but humans.

Although the Orcs were numerous and had excellent physical abilities, they were far behind in organizational and social aspects.

The dwarves were, as expected, excellent in terms of technology, but their population was too low and they were too accustomed to living underground.

And the elves.

‘It has the smallest population, is closed, high-pressure and inflexible. There are more strong people than you think, but….’

Well. If we mobilize all of the First Guild and players, will we be able to stop them?

In the era of the great wars of the past, it was doubtful whether the elves would be able to maintain their pride until the end against the current Connect Kingdoms, whose populations exceeded hundreds of millions.

‘There’s no need to go to the kingdom. Because dealing with the empire right now is too much.’

I already noticed this during the negotiation process between Ravel and the elves that took place a while ago.

The elves were unable to properly respond to the empire’s waves of attacks.

“Anyway, it’s a runaway of spirits. “What do you think is the cause?”

When Raoul asked, Ravel answered with a slightly dark expression.

“There could be several causes. The quality of mana became turbid as the mana of the elves who returned to Geumyeok and Gate were mixed together. And the Empire’s wizards or summoners may have had a hand. But the most likely thing is….”

That the fairies may have intervened.

This was the reason why the elves were wandering around looking for fairies.

Raoul stretched out his finger and lightly stroked Ravel’s head.

“are you okay. It won’t be a big deal. “If they really have a problem, I won’t stay silent.”

“Thank you Raoul. “For saying that.”

The spirit-type monsters that appeared in the elemental jungle seemed to clearly obey the elves after they returned.

There was a reason why the elves had a high level of affinity, and because the town tree and world tree that had been controlling them fell into the hands of the elves.

However, as the battle between the Elves and the Empire began, a problem arose.

Not only the jungle’s spirit-type monsters, but also the spirits contracted with the elves were running wild out of control.

They became aggressive without being able to distinguish between enemies properly, and even committed suicide at the last moment.

The moment elemental magic, which accounted for nearly half of the elves’ combat power, was blocked, it was a given process for the empire to gain victory.

Thanks to this, the elves gave up 1/3 of the elemental jungle to the empire and were still barely able to block their attacks.

There was a reason why the elves showed hostility even though Ravel, the Fairy Queen, appeared in person.

‘Well, I was probably suspicious. But was it really necessary to sharpen it like that?’

As a result, the elves fell out of favor with Raoul and Ravel.

Perhaps, they completely ignored those who currently had the greatest influence on the Connect Continent after the Empire.

‘It’s all my blessing. ‘I have nothing to lose.’

What Raoul wanted in the Elemental Jungle was the ‘Sap of the World Tree’.

This was requested by the dwarven chieftain Taro in order to unseal Regnator.

Originally, I had planned to take care of their needs like the dwarves.

Fossil of the ancient world tree.

The remains of a real world tree that died during the Great War, leaving only a sapling behind.

It was sleeping in a dungeon near the town tree currently occupied by the Empire.

‘With that, world trees that have not yet grown properly can grow rapidly. But I have no intention of handing it over now.’

To Ravel, who had asked to share a little of the world tree’s sap, the elf chieftain Mellish gave a cold refusal.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t grant that request. The world tree is still very young, so the amount of sap that can be collected is very small, and the spirits are causing problems, so it has become useless. If you need essence fluid, I would like you to solve the problem of the runaway spirit first.”

When Ravel heard those words, he couldn’t help but believe his ears.

At least the elves she remembered were straightforward in their dealings.

But.

‘In exchange for sap that can only fit into a small bottle?’

The sap of the world tree.

It was definitely a valuable item.

But what kind of tree is the World Tree?

No matter how young the gigantic world tree that seemed to pierce the sky was, the amount of sap collected from it was by no means small.

To be honest, it’s a common item that you wouldn’t have a problem giving to elves.

No matter how friendly Ravel was to his old friends, he couldn’t help but feel angry.

The moment her face hardened and she was about to open her mouth.

“calm down. It’s enough without any sap or anything. “Can you say it like this instead?”

Ravel said after catching his breath.

“good. Let me find out what happened to the spirits. Instead, I hope it doesn’t stop me and Raoul from roaming the elemental jungle. “If you cannot understand that much, then I have nothing more to say to you.”

“That’s about it. It’s very inconvenient for humans to roam our territory, but seeing the Queen’s face, I allow it. Instead, approaching the World Tree is not permitted. And some of our warrior commanders will guard the queen!”

Melish, who was speaking in a dignified posture, was startled by the sudden, huge energy that attacked him and took a step back.

Whirring!

Phew!

Ravel floated on the skill book and Raoul suddenly came to her side.

They generously released the energy they had been storing up.

The absolute power of the fairy queen who went beyond the 8th circle master and the 9th circle.

Raoul’s power, which had reached the end of advanced telekinesis and mastery, was amplified by Regnator and spread to the surroundings.

“Wow, what is this!”

“Ah, no matter how much she is a queen…!”

The power he showed when biting the spirit earlier was only a taste.

Even at the highest level of being a superhuman, the force of an absolute being looking towards the end was not something that even elves could easily handle.

Most of the elf warriors, who seemed to be elite, knelt down clutching their hearts, and the only ones who kept their backs stiff were the high elf Mellish and a few elders.

‘It was a miscalculation. ‘I never thought I would have this much power!’

A puzzled expression appeared on Melish’s face.

If I had known this would happen, I should have accompanied the Daejeon commanders who were on the battlefield against the empire.

At that time, she was pulling out a rapier with cold sweaty hands and looking at Ravel with shaking eyes.

Whirling.

“Wow.”

“Cough.”

As if for some time, the enormous power was disappearing.

“Who do you dare escort? I will allow you to watch from afar. But don’t even think about meddling in my business.”

Melish could only nod his head as Ravel spoke out while adjusting his glasses.

Ravel was about to say something more, but then turned away.

And now.

After walking east for a while, Raoul and Ravel caught the eyes of the end of a huge lake.

“iced coffee…!”

A sigh flowed from Ravel’s mouth.

Finally came back.

Only now, thousands of years later, has she been able to see her hometown [Dassos Forest], which she left behind in tears.

The Dasus Forest bordered the northeastern end of the lake in front of me.

And that place is currently in the hands of the empire.

If the compatriots who had taken refuge were safe, they might be hiding somewhere in the forest by now.

If they fell into the hands of the Empire…

‘No, that can’t be possible.’

At least this forest was the cradle of the fairies.

As long as this forest remembered them, there was no way they could easily be seen by humans or caught by them.

“It’s okay, Ravel. Let’s go and check for ourselves.”

Raoul said warmly, wrapping his arms around Ravel’s shoulders, who were shaking without realizing it.

Ravel stopped trembling and nodded with a stern expression.

* * *

“Hmm. “It’s a bit quiet today.”

“I know. “He’s been annoying me for a few days, but now he seems to have come to grips with reality.”

Imperial soldiers standing on a wooden fence outside the town tree were chatting.

The battle with the elves continued with the imperial army having the upper hand.

Since the spirits were blocked through some kind of method, the power of the elves plummeted.

Unable to overcome the Empire’s powerful knights and undead cavalry in a head-on collision, the elves chose guerrilla warfare.

The elves have been harassing the imperial army through their other skill, the bow.

Even if the base was taken over, they continued long-distance sniping as if they would not give them time to rest, and in fact, it was not without effect.

Because imperial soldiers had to guard the fence day and night.

“But you’re so stupid. “Do you really think you can stop us like that?”

“I know. In the end, it’s only low-end people like us who get hit and run, and the drivers don’t care at all. “They are cowards who don’t even have the courage to climb over the real fence anyway.”

Dozens of unlucky soldiers died from the elves’ sniping, but it had no effect on military power.

After all, soldiers were meant to help knights and do chores.

The actual forces were knights, wizards, horsemen, and undead soldiers.

However, the soldiers had no particular complaints.

In any case, the less you wield the spear knife, the higher your survival rate will be.

“But when are you going to leave this damn place?”

“what’s the matter?”

“Does it look like someone is walking over there?”

“no way. There’s no way that demons would show up in broad daylight like this… What is it?”

Was he embarrassed by the way he walked so confidently?

The soldiers didn’t even think about ringing the warning bell until Raoul’s figure was clearly visible.

“human?”

Clap la la la rock!

And that became the imperial soldier’s last will.

Raoul’s Armed Forces ruthlessly swept away the small occupied areas of the Imperial Army.

“Is this a D-class frontier? “There are less than a thousand soldiers.”

Raoul muttered as he looked around from the center of the Town Tree.

At the beginning of the elemental jungle, there were a lot of high-level settlements, but in this deep place there were small settlements.

It was truly ironic.

‘Thanks to you, I was able to obtain it easily.’

Raoul infused his mana into the heart of the town tree and took over ownership of the colony.

“What on earth were you thinking when you attacked us? They don’t seem to know that our imperial army is spread out around here…”

“Shh. quietly. “I haven’t asked yet.”

As Raoul smiled, the person wearing the uniform of a junior Imperial Army officer closed his eyes and closed his mouth.

He was the only survivor on this frontier.

Many other commanders were also captured, but some committed suicide and others had their bodies exploded due to the prohibition.

‘It would have been best if there had been a wizard.’

The more advanced the troops, the stronger the prohibition seemed to be.

Because the moment I was captured, it exploded like a bomb.

Raoul, who had many questions, had to persuade this one remaining officer.

“Seeing as you didn’t blow yourself up, do you think you have a lot of desire to live?”

“Of course…”

“Keep your mouth shut and only speak when I tell you to. Express the rest with a nod. “It would be troublesome if you exploded like those guys.”

Where Raoul glanced, there was a torn robe and a fountain of blood.

“I don’t know if you believe it, but I have a way to break that ban, right? So, if you answer well, I’ll let you live.”

The officer nodded his head up and down frantically.

Raoul looked satisfied and asked him some basic questions.

Raoul’s last question was asked to the officer who nodded obediently without any sign of lying.

“So how on earth did you neutralize the elves’ elemental magic? Do you know anything?”

The officer’s eyes shook mercilessly.

Then, his eyes cautiously turned somewhere.

It was near where the corpses of the wizard who had blown himself up earlier were scattered.

Raoul was digging through the blood and pulled out something.

‘Is it a magic bag?’

Because it was a high-quality item, it seemed to have withstood the aftermath of the explosion.

The moment Raoul carefully takes out the items inside.

“Aaaah!”

Ravel screamed with a pale complexion, lost consciousness, and was sucked into the skill encyclopedia.

Raoul bit his lip without realizing it.

Inside the small bottle were dozens of blood-stained fairy wings.
