The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 287

Episode 287

‘How can you do such a cruel thing…!’

It wasn’t just terrible.

From the moment he took the bottle out of his magic bag, a powerful thought struck Raoul’s head.

– I don’t want to die.

– so painful!

– Please save me…

– Why are you doing this?

– ….

Whilick.

When I put the bottle back into the magic bag, the wave of thoughts disappeared.

Coo.

Raoul clenched his fists.

There was no need to look further for the cause of the spirits’ rampage.

totem.

This small bottle containing the fairies’ fear, pain, and resentment must have been the punishment.

‘Spirits who sympathize with fairies are likely to lose their minds.’

The question was whether there would be only one totem.

The front line where the elves and imperial forces were currently clashing was quite long and wide.

Since there were at least dozens of small settlements like this fighting, how many fairies were sacrificed?

‘It’s my mistake.’

In the past life, there was almost no activity of the fairy race.

There were only rumors that a very small number of players had witnessed it.

So, I originally thought that the number of people was small or that it had nothing to do with the ancient races that returned.

‘Could it be that he was captured by the Empire?’

But I had one question.

If they had captured it, why did they bother to turn it into such a cruel totem?

Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to gain the power of the spirits by coaxing or threatening the fairies?

‘It seems there was something wrong. Maybe…’

It might be that they haven’t captured enough fairies yet.

Anyway, I couldn’t leave the empire like this.

If we push out the elves and secure the advance route in this way, the human kingdom will also be in trouble.

And above all.

‘I can’t forgive them, even for Ravel’s sake. If there are surviving fairies, we have to save them too.’

Raoul made up his mind and opened the guild communication.

He convened an emergency meeting and relayed to the executives what had happened there.

“It’s a change in strategy. As of now, we are focusing our efforts on the elemental jungle. Hand over the defense line currently being built to the Marquess of Ashton and prepare for the expedition. We will defeat the Empire’s vanguard here.”

“The Empire dares to attack our Ravel’s compatriots! “I will never forgive this Jake!”

Jake shouted in rage.

“If it’s an elemental jungle, you’ll need the Ranger Knights. “I will prepare my men.”

Pierce, who was not very talkative, strengthened his fighting spirit with a firm voice.

“I really can’t just ignore it this time. We will prepare a moving magic circle with the wizards. “I will take as many of the newly developed potions as possible.”

Not only Nakia, but all the executives gritted their teeth, unable to hide their anger.

“There is no need for ordinary soldiers. Please bring only wizards of at least Expert level 6 or higher. We will sweep it away with overwhelming power.」

「Yes, Master!」

The trip to the Elemental Jungle, which was intended to simply gather materials, unexpectedly turned into a battlefield.

But it didn’t matter.

We were going to clash with the Empire at least once anyway, and even if it happened here, it wouldn’t change anything.

Raoul prepared to welcome reinforcements by installing a simple portal device in the middle of the colony.

* * *

“This is the result of reconnaissance.”

A map of the elemental jungle was displayed on the magic screen in the Town Tree conference room.

“Currently, the empire has occupied a total of 30 colonies on the border with the elves. Among them, 25 are grade C or lower. “There are 4 Grade B locations and 1 Grade A location.”

Along with Kane’s report, the status of the empire’s frontiers arranged at regular intervals was displayed.

“what the. I ate a lot. What should I do? What about wiping everything out at once?”

Jake said, rolling up his sleeves, but Raoul shook his head.

“We have to save the fairies first. Was there anything unusual about Kane?”

“There was nothing unusual about the front line, but there was information sent by agents who had infiltrated inside.”

Take off.

A scene appeared on the screen.

“uh? “What about that?”

“rampart? “A real wall in this elemental jungle?”

It was a clearly foreign scene.

A straight stone castle wall built in the middle of a jungle full of trees and bushes.

This was especially true considering that the defensive walls of the settlement were all made of wood fences.

“Judging by its size and location, it is at least an S-class frontier. And it is judged that there is a high possibility that the main expeditionary force of the imperial army is staying there.”

That’s when Kane finished speaking.

“…It’s clear. “That place.”

“label! “Are you awake?”

Ravel, who had collapsed from shock, appeared in the middle of the conference room.

“That is my former hometown. This is the location of the ‘Fairy Garden’ in Dassus Forest. It is also a colony of ‘spirit trees’. Maybe it’s there…”

“Are you feeling okay? “Everyone was very worried.”

Ravel looked into Raoul’s eyes and nodded.

But her face never looked good.

“Raul. “I have a favor to ask.”

“What. “Just say it!”

At that moment, a system message popped up in front of Raoul.

-Skill Encyclopedia librarian [Raivellina Eriot Merdiane] has made a special request.

-I would like you to give up 2 selection slots in the skill guide to the librarian.

– Be careful. Skill slots skipped are dependent on the librarian.

-[Advice] Librarians can offer special rewards in exchange for skill slots. The type and level of reward is proportional to the librarian’s ability.

-Would you like to accept the librarian’s request?

Raoul rolled down the window without even thinking.

Ravel is already like family to him.

Moreover, her power was nothing compared to just two skill slots.

“Do it, Ravel. Actually, the skill encyclopedia is something you need more than me. “It doesn’t matter how you use it, as long as it helps you.”

Ravel slightly turned his head as if he was touched by Raoul’s immediate answer.

“thank you. “You will never regret this decision.”

Then he glanced at the imperial fortress floating on the magic screen and turned around.

“Call me when you’re ready to attack. Until then, I have work to do.”

“okay. “Leave this to me.”

Whirling.

The label disappeared from the skill book.

Then, the skill book started emitting bright light, and suddenly a series of system messages appeared in front of Raoul’s eyes.

-Librarian Ravel recorded the B-grade skill [Sharp Cutting Wind] in the skill book.

-Librarian Ravel recorded the B-grade skill [Cold Raging Storm] in the skill book.

-Librarian Ravel recorded the A-grade skill [Hymn of Shivering] in the skill book.

-I bought it and the label…

‘Oh my God! What’s happening?’

Raoul, surprised by the message filling his field of vision, closed the message window.

The number of new messages displayed was increasing endlessly.

‘Information confirmation! ‘Skill Encyclopedia.’

[Skill Encyclopedia]

3) Librarian – Depending on the characteristics of the resident librarian, the encyclopedia’s abilities can be used.

4)Skill book production

The total number of skills recorded in real time was increasing.

At the same time, the skill enhancement coefficient in the Skill Encyclopedia was increasing…

‘Is this what you call a special reward?’

The skills saved in the skill book so far were only the skill books collected and copied by Raoul.

But now, new skills are constantly being recorded in the skill book.

A label that has inherited all the wisdom and essence of the fairy race.

As an 8th circle wizard, the number of magic she knows is probably enormous.

That’s all.

No one could measure the knowledge she had accumulated by visiting various libraries of magic books and skill books over thousands of years.

If it’s all recorded in the skill book…

‘Maybe one more locked seal will be released!’

I didn’t know that I might unexpectedly raise the level of my skill encyclopedia.

“Okay, let’s continue the meeting. So…”

The moment when Raoul was about to resume the strategy meeting that had been paused for a while.

“Master, I need you to come out for a moment.”

An uninvited guest came to visit Raoul.

* * *

Outside the Town Tree fence.

In the middle of the forest and the clearing, Raoul was standing facing someone.

A little distance away, hundreds of people were watching him, holding bows and weapons.

“What’s going on with your precious body?”

As the silence became longer, Raoul spoke first.

However, the other person was just glaring at him as if something was displeasing.

“They brought the soldiers like this and didn’t even say a word. “Can we consider this a declaration of war?”

Still, when there was no reaction, Raoul raised his hand.

Then, the First Guild members standing on the wooden fence aimed their weapons at once.

“human. Where is the queen?”

Finally, high elf Mellish opened his mouth with a cold expression.

“You mean the label? It would be difficult for her to come out right now because she has important business to attend to. “If you have any business, please tell me.”

“Ugh! “How dare you, such a dirty human being, aim at your mouth so carelessly!”

The warrior commander guarding Mellish trembled and shouted.

Raoul glanced at him and smiled, then looked at Mellish again and said.

“I asked and I answered, tsk tsk. Also, don’t you think it’s okay for elves to interrupt when their leaders are talking to each other? “It’s a very interesting species.”

“what? “This guy!”

Sreung.

The sword was half drawn, but Mellish stopped him.

She said coldly, as if she didn’t like this situation either.

“Since there is no master, I have no choice but to speak to the servant. I want to ask her. “Why did you break your promise?”

“promise? “What promise?”

“Apparently the only ones we allowed passage were the Queen and you. however!”

Melish pointed to the wooden fence.

“What are they? And why do humans keep wandering around here? “Does the Queen have no intention of keeping her promise?”

‘Oh my goodness.’

Raoul was so shocked that he clicked his tongue.

I wondered what was going on because he brought a lot of power, but was that really the reason?

‘I thought you were saying you would join in the fight against the empire again. Well, that can’t be possible.’

“The promise was definitely kept. “It was obviously only me and Ravel who passed through the elves’ territory.”

“What sophistry is that! “Then what are the people on that fence?”

“Melish also did not mix words with humans. “In the first place, there was no way a person who always lied would keep his promise.”

Raoul sighed as he looked at the elves who called him a liar and spoke clearly.

“Hey elves. Let’s ask. “Does this town tree belong to you elves?”

“of course! This elemental jungle is the domain of us elves.”

“Ha, that’s funny. I had clearly taken over this town tree from the imperial army and was recognized as its owner. And the places my men wandered were all territories occupied by the Empire, not those of you elves. And yet you think I broke my promise?”

“human. Let me be clear. This elemental jungle, wherever it may be, is our elf territory! “This has been decided since before the Great War and will remain so in the future.”

Words didn’t make sense.

What does this confidence and shamelessness mean to a subject who is worried about being pushed out of the empire?

“There is no reason to argue anymore. So what do you want?”

“Leave this place with those humans right now. We will not allow any more humans to roam the elemental jungle.”

Was it because the label was not visible?

Melish made a request to Raoul in a very forceful manner.

“What if you don’t like it?”

“If you don’t keep your promise, you will have to pay the price. “I will make all of them nourish the World Tree.”

The elves aimed their bows and summoned spirits.

Unlike when dealing with the empire, the spirits seemed to be in great spirits as they joined in.

“Puhup hahahahaha!”

Raoul stopped laughing.
