Chapter 422 - Episode Sixty-Eight - The Ear Chief's Troops that Controls the Sky (4)

When the gold-crowned High Elf sent out a thought wave, all of the High Elves who had been flying around or watching from the buildings stopped moving.

In spite of this emergency, they hurriedly dropped their altitude, and those who were already on the ground had their heads on the ground.

“I, it’s Lord Olviga …… Lord Olviga has descended!”

“I’m sorry, Lord Olviga …… I couldn’t even bring down a ship as rare as the Norks ……!”

It seems that the man …… gold crown is in a very high position among the High Elves.

The High Elves, who are almost certainly described in the literature as a proud lot, were begging for forgiveness with their heads on the ground.

He’s not ordinary.

…… If I can communicate to him, it may be a good opportunity to proceed peacefully.

I’ll send a thought wave to Babylon 8000 and try to negotiate with that person.

I slowed down Quetzalcoatl even more and put it into stasis.

“I apologize for invading your territory, I am sorry. But there is something I must do. ……”

“Come down, Marren. Don’t you have any doubts about calling out to me, the king of the world, from up high?”

The gold crown is using the spirit animal to send a thought wave my way.

It was almost refreshing to see him looking at me from such a superior perspective.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. I know that if I go down there, I’m putting myself in danger.”

“Ha, that’s a boring joke. I don’t think you really know who I am. This is why Marlen is so weak in the head. When you stand in front of me, it makes no difference whether you’re struggling to keep your wards up on that strange ship or crawling on the ground with your head on the floor. The fact that you can die at a moment’s notice at my whim, is one thing.”

The gold crowned exaggeratedly put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.

“Who do you say you are to say that far ……?”

“My name is Olviga …… the king of the High Elves who have approached the heights of the gods in human form. Even the most ignorant of short-lived species know that much, don’t they?”

“O-Olviga ……!?”

I’ve heard of him.

It’s a person who has left his name in mythology.

It is said that he has been guiding the High Elves according to the will of the Sky God Silfheim, and if he really is the one, he must be over 10,000 years old.

But the Olviga in front of me now had skin that was too fresh to be 10,000 years old.

Normally, the lifespan of a High Elf should be a thousand years.

I thought Olviga was long dead too.

“It’s just like oracle is said …… Fufufu …… I didn’t expect that spirit to be followed by the filthy Marren to invade this land.”

“A, after that spirit ……?”

What does he mean ……?

It was as if they knew I was coming here before I did.

…… As an oracle, the Count Julem may be using the High Elves as pawns by pretending to be Silfheim, the Sky God, just as Med was using Levi, the Water God, to control the country.

I wonder if that spirit is Count Julem.

If that’s the case, then Count Julem must have brought Mea here.

I had the right idea.

“I wondered what kind of person he was, since the Lord Silfheim had taken the trouble to warn him, but …… he’s just a little boy on a strange ship. That’s enough. Let it sink.”

Olviga raised his large staff.

“Arrow of the Fairy King.”

Five large magic circles floated in the air.

The magic circles all overlapped and mutated into more complex magic circles.

This is the magic that Devin also used, but the magic circles are bigger and the complexity of the magic formula is completely different.

“Oh …… as expected of our king!”

“What a beautiful magic circle!”

“Thankfully …… I was able to witness Lord Olviga’s magic while I’m still alive!”

The High Elves watching around him also cheered.

It was obvious from what I had seen so far, but it seemed that among the High Elves, being a king had a meaning even more important than on earth.

I’m sure it’s partly because Olviga is a legendary figure who has lived for 10,000 years.

“Disappear, you lowlife. I will show you the blow of the King of the High Elves.”

An intricate bundle of light shot out from the magic circle and headed towards the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl, floating in the sky.

It was repelled by the wards, but the flux of light did not end.

A mass of magical energy ejected from the magic circle continued to scrape the surface of the warding.

“You think that’s going to stop it? The magic and civilization of these lowly creatures is of little use to us. Do you understand? In a thousand years, there will be twenty generations of you, and each time your knowledge will start from scratch again. Old technology that fails to take over will fall into disuse. But in the meantime, we High Elves alone can continue to master the magic. What you are doing is all child’s play to us ……”

Olviga shook his head exaggeratedly and made a pretense of exasperation.

When he had finished, Olviga looked at me again and his face wrinkled.

“Nn?”

I rubbed my eyelids with my hand once and looked up at the sky again.

My wards were still bouncing a bunch of light around.

I was also impressed with Olviga.

I’m not sure how you can keep shooting such cost effective and stupid magic for many seconds in a row.

You have to have a lot of confidence in your magic power capacity to take such a step.

I’d avoid it because it’s like throwing magic down the drain, but for a high elf king who’s been around since mythology, this level of magic might be worth it.

It seems that Olviga is just taking a wait-and-see approach for now, but if it becomes a full-blown battle, it may become difficult to get things done without killing or injuring the High Elves as much as possible.

If they break through the wards and start shooting magic at us, we won’t have much time left.

Besides, we haven’t even seen the bottom of Olviga yet.

…… the wards were still intact, but the power of the “Arrow of the Fairy King” was decreasing.

“…… Isn’t that warding not so worn out?”

“Tha-, that’s not true. It’s a blow from our king, Lord Olviga, you know.”

“But isn’t it strange that he hasn’t been able to break through even after all this?”

There seemed to be an uneasy atmosphere among the High Elves.

“The last time Lord Olviga sat up was 2,000 years ago, but don’t you think he lost his magic power in that time?”

“You, how dare you! Banishment! You are rebelling on Lord Olviga! Banish him to the earth!”

“But it’s the only way! Do you think that this possible!”

I can’t hear many words, but it seems that fistfights are breaking out down there.

Olviga’s complexion is getting worse and worse.

The “Arrow of the Fairy King” suddenly became more powerful at the end, and then it stopped, and Olviga lowered his large staff with a blank expression.

The other high elves had also stopped talking and were completely silent.

Did he stop his magic halfway……?
