Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 365
Divinity cannot be received by anyone.
There is a difference between simply feeling the presence of a god in the process of praying and hearing the voice of a god directly as if receiving an oracle.
For this reason, saints and saints are special, and it is not easy for even them to fully endure divinity, so oracles are rare.
That’s exactly what I experienced.
Hias, who listened to the story with a serious face, explained that this was the reason why my consciousness flew with a strong shock as soon as I heard the voice of the world tree, albeit vaguely.
“I think it’s hard to assume that the words we didn’t hear properly could have important meanings. If there were, you would have been able to talk about them through us. It’s very likely that it was a kind of test.”
“A test?”
“Yes, a test of whether you are ready to face the divine. If you think so, you can guess why he gave you the seed.”
It doesn’t have any ability, and it doesn’t mean that trees will grow just by planting it, but it’s definitely a divine object.
Hias guessed that he would gradually become accustomed to divinity just by holding it, and if that happened, he might be able to hear his voice when certain conditions were met.
“Does this happen often?”
“This is unprecedented.”
Hias, who answered with a single knife, seemed quite happy with this situation. It was the same for other elves, but it was not an area I could understand.
They say that it is fun simply to witness what the god they worship has done… If they were human, they would not have been able to see that they had given grace to a stone that rolled in from nowhere, rather than to them who had faithfully served them. If it were me, I think I would have been a little dissatisfied.
“Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with your health, and you don’t understand right now, but you seem to have got a clue to the question. It’s good.”
Well, the parties said they liked it and I liked it, so it was a win-win.
With the help of Hias, I gathered my equipment again and left the temple. Celebian, who heard the news from afar and hurriedly ran to greet me.
“You have a knack for surprising people in so many ways.”
“That’s right.”
I didn’t know it was like this either.
Even though he seemed to have a lot to say, Celebian just nodded, saying that he was relieved.
“Come to think of it, I can’t see the others. Did you die first?”
“That’s right. I figured it would be better to go back to the village in advance and convey the story related to you to create a friendly atmosphere than to stay here.”
“Oh…”
It was a reasonable decision indeed. Even a vicious elf hunter, his patron burst, prayed to the world tree, and even received a sick object. If they hear this news, even those who value my visit, as Celebian said, will not openly show their displeasure.
“Asilier’s family has been waiting without sleep for several days. Is it okay if we go right now?”
“Yes, well. Business is over. By the way… Asilier’s family?”
It’s a really odd story.
I hadn’t heard a single word from Asilier about her family. So, roughly, I thought all of my parents died or something, but ‘they’?
What’s even more absurd is that a celebrity who saw my reaction like that nodded as if it didn’t matter and properly caught my question.
“Judging by the look on his face, it looks like he didn’t hear the story? Both his parents are correct and he has four siblings.”
“…This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
Even 5 siblings? Having two children in one house is a large family that is not common among rare elves.
“Umm, what am I supposed to say about this?”
While I was confused and confused about Asilier’s family love, Celebian somehow managed to pick and choose the words.
From the moment they leave the tribal territory, whether for a greater cause or simply wanting to experience the world for fun, the elf is treated similarly to an outsider. It is said that the biggest reason is that there are no towns and cities in all directions like humans, nor that there is no smooth infrastructure to communicate with.
Asking the spirits to convey their intentions somehow? They said it was possible because Asilie was a high elf. It was like a privilege that normal elves couldn’t do. Even in Asilier’s household, the high elf said she was the only one, so she said everything.
“Because of such an environment, even if it’s not that I don’t particularly dislike or have no interest in my family, I tend not to stay in touch with them. From a human point of view, it seems a bit out of place in a strange place.”
The characteristic of longevity species also plays a part.
Asilie did that right away. Even though I got out of the danger of being enslaved safely, I didn’t contact my family even once. She had at least been with me and had gotten used to the human concept of time, but in the end, it seemed that her family was elves, so there was no problem even if they contacted her after 10 or 20 years.
It’s an unexpected village visit, but I never thought I’d see her family without Ashley. I’m starting to get a little overwhelmed.
“Don’t be too burdened. I could have lived as a slave for the rest of my life, but you saved me.”
While the elves who found me were eagerly responding to the greetings, as I entered the outskirts of the forest with Celebian, who smiled and patted me on the shoulder, the scenery around me began to flow rapidly.
Then, realizing that something was different from when heading to the World Tree, and feeling a slight sense of incongruity, I arrived in front of what was presumed to be an elf village. I looked around without realizing it, as the movement ended in an instant to the point of embarrassment.
“Something… looks like it came very quickly?”
“That’s right. The spirits residing in the territory of the World Tree are powerful. The power of the World Tree also works. Can you believe we just crossed half the distance we traveled to the World Tree?”
crazy crazy crazy Even in a world without mysteries, I knew very little, but the world with mysteries is even worse.
While admiring his explanation, two elves from the village looked at me with a slightly wary expression and asked Celebian.
“This is him…?”
“Eldmia Ega, Asilie’s benefactor and the one who hunted ear hunters.”
The Celebians who talked happily as if it were their own business and the elves who looked at me alternately nodded slightly stiffly and took an example.
“Nice to meet you, Eldmia Ega. We welcome you to the name of the Green Vine Tribe who have crossed the World Tree and arrived here.”
“I’ve heard about the story that happened in the territory of the World Tree. The village chief wanted to talk about it, but we’re not ready to welcome guests yet, so we need to ask for your understanding.”
I was going to do it even if I said it all, but I was a little surprised that it was a much more polite reaction than expected. Still, I couldn’t openly show it, so when I reacted appropriately, Celebian took the lead in the story.
“Then let’s go to Enderinia’s house until you’re ready.”
“Mr. Arwell will be delighted. Then I will tell you not to rush your preparations too much. There will be many things you want to hear…
” Their village was strange in many ways.
The buildings, which were neither flashy nor modest, were built in a style I had never seen before in my life in another world, and some were so mysterious that I wondered if they were really built by human hands.
Should it be called a nature-friendly artificial building? There is something that catches my eye, though.
The doubt that it was built with the help of magic or spirits was resolved sooner than expected. As I entered the village with Celebian, I passed exactly that peculiarly mysterious structure.
As if the bark was peeled off and only the inner kernels were melted and stretched, the neat timbers are intertwined like the bars of an antique birdcage and wrapped around the tree fragments giving off a soft white light. It was beautiful.
“You can think of it as a small temple enshrining the fragments of the World Tree. It is definitely located in the center of the elves’ village.”
Celebian, who explained in a laughing voice while looking at me, walked for about 5 more minutes, and people gradually started to gather, just like they had experienced in the territory of the World Tree.
Most of them were friendly and curious, but as Celebian said, there were also strange distance and hostile gazes. There was no way I did anything wrong with them, so I had a lot of trouble with the elven hunters, so it seemed that I was the kind of person who couldn’t take good care of the human race.
Like narrow-minded gnomes.
While kicking his tongue inwardly at the owners, who clearly looked old, they arrived at a house slightly larger than other private houses in the vicinity.
Was that house a gift from the tribe for a couple with five children, or was it naturally expanded because there were many families?
“Arwell! Are you inside!”
While I was thinking about things to somehow disguise my calmness, Celebian knocked on the wooden door and mentioned the name Arwell, which I had heard earlier. Then someone hurriedly ran and opened the door with a tremendous sound of crackling in the house.
Ah, this man is definitely Asilie’s father. The eyes are completely alike.
As Celebian said, as Celebian said, the middle-aged woman with a hard impression and Asilie’s slightly drooping eyes must have had a lot of trouble sleeping at night.
At first, her gaze, which was fixed on Celebian who knocked on the door, quickly moved to me, who was slightly behind.
And once towards my earring, face once. After looking at the earrings one more time, the middle-aged middle-aged man strode towards me and hugged me.
“Call me your father-in-law!”
Thanks to that, I closed my eyes tightly without realizing it.
