Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 175

Episode 175

Elf’s face hardened.

I was silent for a moment, watching his reaction.

I tried to pretend to be calm, but even more intense pain came from the wounds on my body.

The more I spoke, the more intense the pain stabbing my lungs became, making it difficult to speak.

I took a moment to catch my breath and endure the pain.

‘But didn’t I shed too much blood?’

I looked down while coughing and saw that the blood that had come out of my body was soaking the ground and overflowing.

There was so much blood that it was surprising that he didn’t die from excessive bleeding.

I looked down at the blood and then raised my head to the elf who was silent.

“Are you going to keep your mouth shut like that? Let’s say something. Or do you really don’t need our help?”

“Whew…”

The elf sighed loudly at my continued sarcasm.

While we were doing this, the area around us was soon filled with elves gathered from all directions.

The elf, who had his face scrunched up and his arms crossed for a moment, opened his mouth.

“How can we trust that you have a way? “I just believed what you said and accepted you, and then asked what you would do if we suffered damage.”

His suspicions were valid.

Because it was a very dangerous act to let others into the house without permission.

But it also has to be done according to the situation.

Anyone could see that we were here to help the elves.

This was evident just by killing the Kairos tribesman and the sword master, Count Warrug, not attacking.

And above all, it is so independent that it does not send out any information, but isn’t that all I know about the World Tree?

If I had any ill will towards them, I would attack right into the place where the World Tree is located without even asking them or questioning them.

Rather than taking the risk of showing up to them, he would have moved secretly to gradually stop their blood.

‘Well, it’s a situation to be suspicious.’

Information about the World Tree is top secret.

Only elves know the state of the World Tree and manage it.

But at some point, the World Tree was withering and an outsider appeared who said he could cure the World Tree, so it was reasonable to suspect that I was the culprit.

‘But what should we do?’

The only way was for them to accept us.

What if I had attacked first?

I didn’t attack them.

And I have a way to cure the World Tree.

That was the fact, and that was the important issue at the moment.

They can’t find a way.

According to the original work, they could not find a reason or a way until they were destroyed by Ahar.

I think that’s still the case even now.

Since they haven’t found a way, they can’t attack even if I taunt them this much.

“So what do you want me to do? Please tell me clearly. Do you need help or not?”

“….”

He fell silent at my confident attitude.

His face looked confused as to what to do.

“This… is a problem I cannot decide alone. “We need to go back to the village and listen to everyone’s opinion.”

In the end, he raised the white flag.

He said he needed the opinions of his fellow countrymen, perhaps because he thought he was being repeatedly discouraged through conversations with me.

But I had no intention of waiting for him to go back and get answers one by one.

“Oh really? So let me ask you now. “Because everyone was gathered together at the right time.”

Why would I send him away when all the elves are gathered like this?

You can get the answer here.

And I didn’t think they would give a positive answer.

Rather, there was a high probability that this would be the last time I would be able to talk to them.

So you shouldn’t miss this opportunity.

I pressed my throbbing chest and looked around.

“I think everyone heard me.”

“….”

The elves were quiet.

Their eyes, looking at me quietly, contained only hostility.

There was no positive response, but I was satisfied that they didn’t attack us.

The fact that they didn’t attack was proof that they were hesitating after listening to me.

“You might not believe me. So, show me that I’m not wrong…”

He closed his mouth while speaking.

Perhaps because I lost so much blood, my vision momentarily became blurred.

My vision was shaken, so I closed my eyes for a moment and then turned them off.

It’s not time to fall down yet.

You have to endure a little more.

“If you go all the way east from the World Tree, you will see a puddle that you have never seen before. If we remove it, the condition of the World Tree will improve. Check it out and decide. “We will be waiting here.”

“…I get it.”

The green-haired elf nodded.

I hurriedly caught him as he turned to leave with the elves.

“wait a minute.”

“what?”

“Can you heal me before that?”

I pointed to my body that had been damaged by him.

He bit his lip as he looked at my miserable body, so much so that it was surprising that I didn’t collapse right away.

He frowned, looked around, and sighed.

Then he extends his hand towards me.

Fuwaaaaak!

Cold water rose from the ground and soaked my entire body.

A bitter pain swept over my entire body and then disappeared quickly.

And a strangely refreshing feeling took over.

“Oh…”

My body recovered in an instant.

As the body healed, the blood that was lacking seemed to have been replenished, and the anemia also disappeared.

“Are we done now?”

“Well, if this is enough…”

I nodded, feeling more energetic than before.

He turned to say he really wanted to go and I grabbed him again.

“Oh, I need one more thing.”

“what?”

“Please give me some food and water.”

“….”

“We are humans too, so we need to eat to survive.”

He looks at me, embarrassed and dumbfounded by my shamelessness.

He sighs and snaps his fingers.

Then a few branches with lots of red berries came down enough to come into my field of vision.

There, a bag made of leaves and twigs fell at my feet.

The bag was full of water and was lapping.

“This will be enough. “Stay there and wait.”

The green elf turned around, saying don’t say any more and won’t listen even if you say something.

Then he left the place with the elves who came with him.

It’s only after they leave that the tension subsides.

I couldn’t help but feel nervous at the thought that they could attack at any time.

I just didn’t show it.

“Raymond.”

“yes.”

“What on earth are you thinking?”

Count Warrug’s eyes were fierce as he spoke to me.

In his opinion, my behavior was abnormal enough.

It must have been absurd for someone who was new to the South to act as if he knew everything.

Moreover, in a situation where their lives were threatened, my actions were no different from gambling.

“Do you know what you said just now?”

How should I answer?

Although the situation was urgent and I thought of the best method possible, in the eyes of Count Warrug, I had no choice but to be suspicious.

Moreover, there were many people who did not know about the World Tree.

Even if you know about it, many people think it is a tree from a legend.

Above all, what I saw was an appearance that seemed to know the inside of the elf very well.

No matter how much I was able to avoid the situation thanks to me, it wasn’t strange that beyond that, I became the object of caution.

I did not blame him for his attitude, knowing that even the Marquess of Easton, who lives in the south, could not help but be wary of me knowing information he did not know.

However, I couldn’t make any excuses to him.

What I said was based on what I saw in the original, so there was no good way to explain it.

“I know anything I say right now will be weird.”

“….”

Count Warrug did not answer.

What is left unspoken is positivity.

I couldn’t bear to make eye contact with him and scratched my cheek.

No matter what I said, I couldn’t answer his questions.

“I will win the award. I know that too. So I won’t make any excuses.”

“….”

“But please know this. That I will never do anything that will harm the kingdom. “In fact, the opposite is true.”

“…ha.”

He was glaring at me, then his eyes relaxed and he sighed heavily.

Then he scratched his head and said:

“I knew you were not ordinary, but… I didn’t know it would be to this extent.”

I shrugged my shoulders at his words.

He relaxed his eyes as he glared at me and took a deep breath.

“Well, that’s good. I think there’s a reason for everything. But even if it’s hard now, you can tell me later, right?”

“…yes. Okay.”

“That’s enough. Because what the elves will do is more important now. “We’d better talk about this later.”

“All right.”

He smiled a little vainly as he looked at me nodding.

It must be embarrassing.

You might be wondering what I’m doing.

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

At that time, Lanos, who was watching the conversation between me and Count Warrug, frowned and shook his head.

Only then did I remember that there was someone other than me and Count Warrug.

“Oh, were you there?”

“what?”

“no.”

He shook his head and sat down on the ground.

Even though all the wounds on my body had healed, I couldn’t help but lose strength.

The hostility and brutality of the elves was that great.

“Anyway, I guess what you said was important. “I gave you all these precious fruits.”

Count Warrug, who was picking fruit from a tree branch, rubbed his chin and said.

When I asked him what he meant, he took a bite of the red fruit and said,

“This is a very precious fruit. So much so that even the emperor of the empire only eats it once every two days. “It grows on only one tree out of ten.”

Juice poured out like a waterfall from the area where he had been bitten.

“Wow… it’s delicious. “I never thought I would be able to taste it like this, but I don’t know if I should call it luck or not…”

“It happened anyway, so think positively.”

I followed him and picked the red fruit and held it in my hand.

When I took a bite of the apple-like fruit, I was amazed by the juice that filled my mouth.

Although it resembled an apple, it was sweeter than an apple.

Like a ripe peach, the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes.

What’s interesting is that even though it’s so sweet, I don’t think I’ll get tired of it.

Rather, I had the urge to keep eating.

The combination of the crunchy texture was fantastic.

So I filled my stomach with water and fruits and waited for the elves to come.

After a day and a half, three elves came together, along with a green elf.

“Follow me.”

They called us in a harsh tone.
