The Reincarnated Sage ~I Will Forge the Strongest Empire in the Demon Forest!~

It was ten days since they left Beresdral on the Dragon Wheel.

It was evening and Beramus and his friends had arrived at the village where the elves were.

Welcome. It's been a long time since we've had a non-elf here in Merer village. My name is Arcee, the village chief of this village. It's nice to meet you.

When Bellams and the others arrived at the village, they were greeted with a smile by the village chief, the elf who gave his name, Arcee.

It seems that this is not a place that excludes strangers.

The village is peaceful, and there are about 100 elves.

There are few men and many women. And most of the women are young to look at.

"War. There's a lot of people with ears like Romesa's.

As we walked through the village, Delarosa blurted out her thoughts.

'Huh?　They're not elves, are they?

Maybe they're from outside the village?

'I've been on some scary looking creature, is it okay?'

Let me ask you something.

The elves are approaching Bellamus and his friends.

"Excuse me. Did you come from outside?

'Where did you come from!　A human town?!

What the hell is that scary creature out there?

What are these horns?

Why did you come to this village?

And then they just started asking questions.

"Na-na-berams. What are they saying?

Aretha asked in a panic. The language of the elves is elvish, of course, so no one but Bellamus could hear it.

He carefully answered the questions. He told them that they came from a town in the Great Forest, that the forest dragons are well-trained and harmless, that all goblin creatures have horns, and that they were on their way to trade with the village.

And from Beramus.

I'd like to know if there's a large commercial city of elves or something like that.

I asked.

"I think the royal capital east of this village is better.... It's far from here. But that place is crowded with people from all over the country, so it's lively all year round.

King's Landing. We were going to King's Landing at first, so our destination remained the same.

Thanks for the information. And it's late, I would like to spend the night, is there an empty house anywhere?

All right. There are two empty houses in the north end of the village. Please feel free to use them as you wish.

Thank you.

Bellamus thanks them and tells them that they have a place to stay.

We finally have a decent house to stay in, they say as they stand tall. You look pretty tired after your long trip.

Just as they decide to take an early rest today, they hear the sound of horses approaching.

And then.

'Excuse me at this hour!　But I'm here on urgent business!

I heard a woman's voice that sounded well.

I looked and saw a group of elven women on horseback visiting the village.

They were wearing armor. They looked like knights.

''Huh?　What's the matter with you, knights - a rarity in this village.

And Arcee asks.

"No, I'm looking for someone.

The elf, straddling his horse, jumped down from his horse, and then pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket.

I have a picture for you to look at.

He unfolded the paper and said. On the paper there was a picture of the one he was looking for.

Hmm. I haven't seen it before... ......

Arcee replies .

'Well ...... hmm?　Those men do not seem to be elves, but are they from somewhere else?

Oh, I see.

Well, that's just great. I would like to ask you guys, have you seen this man?

Then the knight-elf showed the picture to Beramus and the others.

(This is ......)

The man in the painting looked familiar to Beramus.

'Ah!　Mogah!

Delarosa's mouth is instantly blocked.

'Hmm?　What's going on?　Does that sound familiar to you?

No, no. Nobody?

Bellamus asks for your consent.

"Oh, yeah,

No.

Others nodded.

"Nope. ...... I'm sorry to bother you. So I'll go to ...... oh, yeah. I say this out of kindness, and I don't want you to take it badly, but I'm afraid that some bad things might happen in ...... this country from now on. I won't say anything bad, so you should leave.

And so the knightly elf left.

(Not a good thing ......?)　(What's that ...... or even more importantly, the picture you just painted ......)

Belamus saw the knights leave and removed his hand from Delarosa's mouth .

'What are you doing, Dahberamus!

Because you were going to say so. The elf in the painting, that's ......

That was definitely...

That was Romesa.
