The Player Returns After 10,000 Years Episode 337

The Legend of the High Elves (3)

Hahaha! You’ve got some very good friends!

Douglas came out and hit Kang-woo on the shoulder with a chuckle.

Kang Woo smiled awkwardly and

nodded his head.

Complex emotions flooded his eyes as he looked at Layra and Douglas.

Mr. Layra, how did you convince Mr. Douglas? You seem to be a bit picky.

I heard Sihoon Kim approaching Leila and whispering cautiously in her ear.

Leila gave a benevolent smile and smiled politely.

Fortunately, Mr. Douglas also had faith in Gaia-sama.

‘Don’t lie to me.’ Did Gaia let her guard down right away when I explained to her how holy and merciful she is?

‘I didn’t say a word about Gaia.’

Ah, then, did you reveal that Layla is the incarnation of Gaia-sama

?

no that’s not it He just… revealed that he was a faithful follower of Gaia.

They worship the same god.

Indeed, I can understand why Mr. Douglas suddenly let his guard down.

Kim Si-hoon smiled and nodded.

…….

Kang Woo kept his mouth shut and avoided his gaze from Layra.

‘Sihun.’

I think you will be caught by Jesu.

Kang Woo clicked his tongue lightly. Lying was one of the things he hated the most

, but he could understand why he couldn’t be honest with Layra.

Is it a white lie? then there is nothing you can do

Well then.

anyway.

Leila is a proud colleague.

Kang Woo smiled broadly and nodded his head at Douglas’ words.

A smile spreads across Douglas’ lips. You said you wanted to know about the high elves, right?

Yes.

Kang Woo’s eyes lit up. From now on, this is the main point. What do you want to know exactly

?

This is where the high elves live.

Huh…

A short exclamation escaped from Douglas’ mouth.

A look that makes it difficult to answer. Don’t you know where the high elves are?

I don’t know. I don’t know exactly. But I know the conditions under which they appear.

condition?

Kang-woo’s expression, which was surrounded by disappointment, brightened.

Douglas continued, scratching his head as if he didn’t know where to begin.

hmm. First of all, it seems like I need to explain something about high elves.

It’s okay if you explain slowly.

Got it.

Douglas nodded.

First of all, do you know the difference between elves and high elves?

Uh… well. Doesn’t it feel like an aristocrat or king of elves? It feels different from that.

Douglas shook his head firmly. In comparison, I’d rather be close to God. According to actual records, high elves are recorded as beings of divinity, each possessing divinity. Among them, the elder high elves

are said to have the same level of divinity as the heavenly god Seraphim or higher.

…her.

A short laugh escaped Kang Woo’s mouth.

‘Was the high elf a divinity?’

It was something I hadn’t thought of.

People generally thought of a high elf as being about the king of the elves. ‘It was a god worshiped by elves, not kings.’

It made sense, then, that very few beings knew about their location. …Wait, then, isn’t there a way to physically meet the high elves?

Not all beings with divinities are like that, but most deities, including Gaia and Uranus, do not appear in the material world to escape from the influence of ‘providence’.

Even Gaia borrowed Leila’s body to influence the material world through the method of spiritism.

That’s not it. Um… No, how accurate are you?

Douglas shook his head with an ambiguous expression.

*

In the case of High Elves, they do not live in the material world, but they can incarnate themselves with their bodies by borrowing the power of the World Tree.

okay.

A sigh of relief flowed out. This meant that if it was possible to incarnate into the material world with a body, it would not be impossible to meet them in person.

Douglas continued, opening the book on the table.

In fact, in the past, at the time of the founding of the Arnan Empire,

a high elf appeared and directly blessed His Majesty the first emperor.

So, are the high elves like the guardian deities of the Arnan Empire?

I’m not sure about that. However… it would be nice to call it a guardian deity, at least as far as the lineage of the imperial family is concerned. As proof of that, the bloodlines of the Arnan royal family are all incredibly handsome and beautiful, and live a very long life. Raynald’s face came to mind. The blonde hero’s dazzling appearance was comparable to that of Kim Si-hoon. So…

How can I

finally meet the high elf ?

With this information, he was able to understand to some extent what kind of existence the high elves were.

But most importantly, where they are.

It was a way to meet a guide who would lead the way to the demon’s corpse.

There is a legend related to the high elves.

Douglas continued in a low voice. When

this world

faces the crisis of the end, the guardian of the world tree will appear before the savior.

Here, the guardian of the World Tree

is Highel Prane.

Wait a minute. That means…

Yeah.

Douglas laughed.

Which means there is no realistic way to meet them.

…..

Kang Woo’s expression was distorted.

In the end, it turns around and returns to the starting point. Douglas laughed and patted Kang-woo on the shoulder.

Don’t be too discouraged. According to the literature, the external differences between elves and high elves are not great. Even though we can’t meet high elves, don’t we have elves!

Hmm!

He snorted heavily and looked towards Leila.

…Is there any other way? Among the elves, there are those who can communicate with the high elves.

Actually, I didn’t have to meet the high elves directly.

Just as Layra conveyed Gaia’s will through her spirit god, there could be an existence among the elves who could convey the high elf’s will.

no it had to be hmm. Probably not. I can confidently say that no one knows more about elves than I do, but I have never heard of an elf being able to communicate with a high elf.

……

Douglas’ words drive a wedge.

The expressions of the expedition team, including Kang Woo, hardened.

Brother, if that’s the case…

then the only way is to find the demon’s corpse without the help of the high elves. Kang Woo sighed and said. In fact, you don’t have to find a high elf to find a demon’s corpse.

It’s an ignorant way, but there was also a way to find it by searching all over the continent.

‘I can’t even guess how long the replacement will take.

It’s about looking for one star.

No matter how hard Kang Woo and his party were able to move freely in the sky, it couldn’t be easy.

‘and.

Considering that no demon corpse had ever been found, there was a high possibility that it was not in a place where one could look down from the sky. ‘Either in the deep sea or in a deep cave.

In the worst case, the high elves may not even exist in the material plane itself.

…Shit. A soft curse flowed out.

He put his hand on his forehead as if he had a headache.

It wasn’t just Kang Woo who was troubled.

Laira also realized the seriousness of the situation and chewed her lips with a dark expression.

The atmosphere in the lab suddenly became heavy. Mr. Kang-woo…

Han Seol-ah stretched out her hand toward Kang-woo, who was immersed in worry.

Place your hand carefully on the back of his hand.

I’m fine with how long it takes.

Han Seol-ah smiles brightly.

Echidna often walked up to her and sat on Kang-woo’s lap.

Hehe! As long as I’m with Kangwoo, it doesn’t matter how long it takes!

A little consolation to ventilate the atmosphere.

Kang Woo let out a laugh.

He reached out and stroked Echidna’s head as she sat on her lap.

Echidna hummed happily and shook her legs. Yeah, how long did it take to find out.

It had to be found, even if it took years or even decades.

It was almost certain that the earth would be eroded by the outside world if I just kept washing my hands like this.

‘the problem is.’

Despite Han Seol-ah and Echidna’s consolation, Kang-woo’s expression was still dark.

In fact, as long as he was with Seol-Ah, Echid, and other colleagues, it didn’t matter how long he was on the Ernore continent.

It wasn’t like there were no things to eat, drink, and enjoy like in hell.

‘This also means that there is a time limit after all.’

Gaia said that the guardians of the stars support each other like the character 人 (人).

If the demon’s corpse is not found in time, the earth’s protection will collapse, and if that happens,

the aftermath will soon reach other worlds.

The collapsed pillars inevitably had to collapse.

‘Gaia said she could survive for a few years, but

in other words, if she doesn’t find it within a few years, the Earth’s protection will collapse.

…ha.

A deep sigh came out.

The atmosphere inside the lab is still heavy.

Kang Woo lowered his head and was deep in thought.

‘I need a way to find the demon’s corpse.’

But no matter how much I think about it, there is no way.

Lucis, who believed, had no memory of its location, and neither the angels nor Gaia knew its location at all.

There wasn’t even a clue. ‘I should lean on Pauli…

To bring out Bauli who is sleeping in the abyss.

Continuing his thoughts, Kang-woo shook his head.

It’s too risky. The risk is too great.

‘What should I do…

My head is stuffy. It was then.

ah.

A short exclamation escaped Kangwoo’s mouth.

A bolt of lightning struck in my head.

‘okay.

Ha Kang-woo laughed involuntarily.

‘Why didn’t I think of this?

I almost burst into laughter at my own stupidity.

The solution was surprisingly simple. ‘ It was

nothing, right?’ There was no need to worry.

I didn’t have to think.

The method was deceptively simple.

The legend of the high elves that Douglas had mentioned came to mind.

– When this world faces the crisis of the end, the guardian of the world tree will appear in front of the savior.

‘That the high elves only appear when the world is on the verge of an end. Kang Woo’s mouth twisted up. An evil twisted smile caught the corner of the devil’s mouth.

giggle

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

‘Isn’t that just putting the Erno continent in danger of an end?’

Hey, I didn’t know that!
