Episode 320
: Flash!
When using the forgotten location, X’s body was wrapped in light.
“!”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a view of a silver lake that was as calm as before.
X came to his senses and looked around.
“It’s been a really long time.”
Huddled together.
Animals gathering together to drink water.
Looking at it, it seemed like nothing much had changed. X heightened his senses. But right away, I didn’t feel like I was popular around me.
“Wouldn’t it be better to wait?”
Hershawin had been told in advance.
In order to avoid unnecessary impulses with the elves, it seemed better to meet Hershawin here and act together.
Since he had some free time, X got lost in thought.
‘Anyway, I never thought Silver Lake would be like this.’
Where goddesses and elves stay!
No, if you think about it, the elves had moved to the place where the goddess stayed.
However, X could not help but have one question. After finishing his appetite, X smoothed his chin.
‘So what does the Gourmet King have to do with this place?’
Gourmet King!
Isn’t this the place he ended up in after changing his job to become a heavenly gourmet?
It was a reasonable guess that this place was related to the Gourmet King.
“Is this…?”
X came up with a reasonable guess through his extensive reading of articles on politics, economy and entertainment.
“Do the Gourmet King and the Goddess know each other?”
Isn’t this a relationship that goes beyond just acquaintances? Although it was outright blasphemy, X was rather intrigued.
“Isn’t this really convincing?”
Just as X was delving into conspiracy theories, a rustling sound was heard from afar.
It was Hershawn. He was walking towards the silver lake, looking carefully.
“Damn, I can’t do this when the Goddess is around….”
I’m going to be completely broken by the Vigilant. A question immediately appeared on Hershawin’s face as he muttered.
“You came so quickly?”
“…X? “How can you get here?”
Silver lake!
Because instead of the goddess, there was a man named X wearing golden armor. Hershawin came to his senses and looked around. For some reason, the goddess was not visible.
Hershawin led Aix.
“We have to get out of here quickly.”
“But I still have to say hello to the goddess.”
“We can do that later at our residence. This is the abode of the goddess! “You may be watching from afar, but it’s a place you shouldn’t enter without permission.”
At those words, X shrugged his shoulders.
‘In elf country, you have to follow elf laws.’
And the Silver Lake was a place you could come to at any time by activating Forgotten Place.
Now that the goddess was away, it seemed right to talk to the elves first.
Then, X’s complexion changed in an instant! Soon, greed flickered in the corner of X’s eyes.
‘What does the village of noble elves look like?’
Do you want something to eat?
X followed Hershawin with brisk steps.
*
Gooo!
As the two men left the silver lake, a crack appeared in the air. I felt a very foreign energy as I could not feel any teleportation or mana.
Fluffy.
What appeared there was a woman with hair the color of a silver lake.
She looked in the direction where the two men had disappeared and opened her mouth softly.
Maybe he hadn’t opened his mouth for a long time, but his voice had an awkward vibe to it.
“…X?”
That was the moment she remembered the man’s name.
*
Rustle!
X, who came out of the bushes, exclaimed in exclamation.
Because the silver lake was located on the ridge, X could overlook the elves’ hideout at a glance!
“Wow, you were connected to a land like this?”
Vast!
It was like discovering a new area. Hershawn was flattered.
“It’s not just wide. This place is full of true beauty. “It cannot be compared to the world beyond, which is overflowing with lies and scheming.”
X snorted.
‘It doesn’t seem like that to anyone, does it?’
Above all, there were elves with dirty temperaments here. No matter how you look at it, the humanity of the elves was far from beautiful.
X headed to the lower village with Hershawin. Hershawin told us about the current atmosphere in the village.
“The guard has reported the story about you. I heard that the elder is very worried about you. “I guess it has to be that way since it’s related to the goddess.”
An unusual stranger!
The current evaluation of X was exactly that.
This is because someone who had seen the goddess who they thought only appeared to them in her lifetime appeared.
As if that wasn’t enough, he came to keep the promise between the goddess and the reincarnation of the Flame Fire Dragon.
Hershawn asked with a face full of doubt.
“So is it real? “You can be honest with me.”
“Then it’s true.”
“…done. “I can’t believe it even if it’s real.”
Then why did you ask?
‘That’s self-indulgent.’
Anyway, it seemed like Elf was a certain character. X was suppressing a dark laugh inside.
‘okay. If it turns out like this until the end, I’ll have no choice but to start in earnest!’
what?
Scam!
Since X is also human, he often feels guilty when he deceives good people. Of course, I never stopped committing fraud just because I felt remorse…
‘An eye for an eye for a tooth.’
Anyway, tricking bad guys like elves was actually fun.
Tiroling!
[You have discovered the ‘True World Ariad’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Experience gain near the True World Ariad increases by 20% for 72 hours!]
[Items near the True World Ariad for 72 hours ! The acquisition rate increases by 20 percent!]
Ariad!
Even its appearance was unusual. After all, isn’t this Xernis’ lord?
Ax examined Ariad with the keen gaze that revived Xernis, and found no flaws whatsoever.
What was unusual was that there were no castle walls.
“I told you. “There is no fighting or pain here.”
There’s no need to build a wall, even though I’ve never done it before. X swallowed deeply.
‘How good would it be if the Arba Continent was also peaceful?’
How much gold was invested in restoring the castle walls?
When I think of the gold I spent on Xernis, I still feel like crying.
As we entered Ariad, magnificent buildings began to appear one by one.
Wow!
X, surprised, cleared his throat.
“…What kind of building is this magnificent?”
Sky-high buildings!
It didn’t seem like it was built with ordinary technology. There were many buildings that would have been difficult to build even with the dexterity of the Dongle dwarves, let alone the ancient kingdom.
Hershawn responded as if he was naturally surprised.
“It was all created by the Goddess.”
“Oops.”
It was said that he was the creator god. It seems that building a building like this is no task for a goddess.
X swallowed his saliva out of nervousness.
‘Because there is evidence like this…’
Isn’t the goddess the true creator god of the world? I was thinking.
In fact, X was skeptical about the elves’ words. It was natural that the words of the elves with their arrogant attitude could not be completely trusted.
‘I don’t know if he’s the creator, but he definitely has tremendous abilities!’
X’s eyes sparkled.
X decided not only to exploit the elves, but also to build intimacy with the goddess.
Because she has tremendous abilities, there is a high possibility that she will give you tremendous quests and rewards!
As I went a little deeper into the village, I saw a familiar face.
It was Lilef, the guard who was fidgeting in front of the magnificent building.
A stranger pretending to get closer. Releph looked at X and was astonished.
“How come you here?!”
“That’s complicated to explain.”
He entered through the skills he had. It was impossible to explain it truthfully.
X told the story with appropriate lies. There was one person who could never be left out: the Gourmet King.
‘Do the elves know about the Gourmet King?’
If you know, you can get information about it. X slowly opened his mouth.
“Well, to explain it in one word, I received help from the King of Gourmet.”
“…Gourmet King?”
Hearing those words, I could see the agitation on Releph’s face. The other elves, including Hershawin, seemed to have no idea what was going on.
X was only looking at Releph closely.
‘You know something.’
As expected, it seemed like the King of Gourmet had visited this true world.
Releph thought for a while before raising his head.
“Can you follow me for a moment?”
X nodded.
Releph opened the door of the majestic building and entered.
Inside the building, elf women were chatting, and they were all very beautiful.
X swallowed his saliva.
‘They’re really beautiful people you’d want to hire part-time, right?’
If I had a part-time job like that, it seemed like there would be no shortage of customers.
While X was having extremely materialistic thoughts, Lilleph spoke.
“I have already told the elder about you.”
“I heard it from Hershawin.”
“However, I couldn’t tell you the story properly because I didn’t hear about the Gourmet King. “It would be better for you to tell the story about it yourself.”
“Well, I understand.”
Jump and jump.
Releph led X up the stairs to where the elder was.
Countless stairs as tall as the building!
After climbing for a while, X was able to come face to face with the shining rock and the elf looking at it.
X was shocked.
“…Why is this?”
But Releph warned X. At his crackdown, X kept his mouth shut.
Soon, the elf wearing a crown, the elder of the elves, turned his head towards X.
If Hershawn was a handsome boy, he was a middle-aged man. He asked in a slow voice.
“Are you the X who said you came to keep your promise?”
Let’s get to the point.
There was no benefit to wasting time now. X added one more word.
“That’s right. “I am X, the successor to the Gourmet King.”
*
Heir to the Gourmet King!
When his identity was revealed, there were times when he benefited, but in general, it was X who suffered a lot of losses.
Because Ligrien became a target of anger and was repeatedly attacked in the Kurula area.
Therefore, X was very prepared.
‘I won’t just sit there and get hit!’
But my worries were unfounded. The elf elder Valdamir was very happy to see X.
“There really was a reason to be able to enter this land!”
X was suspicious of his reaction.
‘what?’
Although this kind of reaction was unfamiliar, I also knew that the elves’ personalities were not easy.
However, it seemed like Baldamir wasn’t acting.
Tiroling!
[Your intimacy with Valdamir increases significantly!]
He just revealed that he is the successor to the Gourmet King! Intimacy had increased significantly.
X was able to clear his doubts.
“Thank you, old man.”
“Hehe, since you are said to be the successor to the Gourmet King, there can no longer be any doubt that you have come to meet the goddess. By the way, how is the Gourmet King doing now?”
“That human…”
X answered honestly.
The Gourmet King is wandering the world like a beggar and no one knows his whereabouts.
Baldamir laughed, saying it was behavior worthy of a gourmet king. Zec turned his gaze and looked around.
‘…I’d better get to the point.’
X wasted no time in stating his original purpose.
“To conquer Nidhogg, we need the power of the elves. The conquest of Nidhogg will lead the divided continent to the path of unity, and that is the only way for Fate World to overcome this great threat!”
There was no need to bring up the name of another being. Valdamir, the leader of the elves, probably knows that much.
Although X’s words were persuasive, Valdamir’s reaction was not good. A disapproving look was evident on his face.
“Why do we elves have to worry about the safety of Fate World?”
The elves had a true world. The True World was a haven that could not be compared to the Fate World.
As long as the goddess stayed, there was no threat here. It was said that there was no need to risk one’s life.
“Do you really think so?”
An extremely selfish answer.
However, the corners of X’s mouth were turned upward. Isn’t that worth it?
The elves were clearly mistaken.
Valdamir frowned and asked.
“What does that mean, heir?”
chuck.
At those words, X raised his finger and pointed somewhere.
The reason why X refused flattery and got straight to the point. The reason why I looked around during the conversation was at my fingertips.
Valdamir asked.
“What about rune stones?”
Yes, the shining rock was a runestone. X continued speaking in a serious voice.
“No, to be precise, it is a runestone that is being polluted. It is a runestone that is being eroded by other beings.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
