My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant - My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant chapter 53

elf (1)

This morning, the entire Daeshinjeon was in a state of excitement.

It was because everyone was busy preparing for the Elven Kingdom’s delegation.

“Everyone is busy.”

Except for us in charge of the internal security.

At Heinrich’s leisurely words, Raylin, who was guarding the passage to the gate with him, nodded his head in response.

“Because it was decided all of a sudden. Compared to the scale of the exchange that even high elves were involved in, the period between decisions and execution was very short. There must be a lack of preparation.”

As she said, cooperation with the Elven Kingdom was decided in a matter of a few days, but things progressed in an instant.

This was not a schedule that only one side could rush.

This is something that can only be done if both parties agree to it and make it as soon as possible.

‘Even if the denomination decided that it was urgent to track down the immortal king’s descendants, what is the urgent matter in the Elven Kingdom?’

In fact, the denomination only needs to prepare to welcome the envoy, but they were the ones who actually crossed the sea.

Moving across the continent could not be easy.

Even so, to be in such a hurry means that you have a very urgent business…

‘Whatever their purpose is, it’s meaningless if I think about it here.’

Thanks to obtaining the information first, I was able to buy time to reinforce the barrier, so for now, that was enough.

“Still, it makes me feel sorry that we are the only ones who are so relaxed.”

“I can’t help it. This is our job.”

They are busy preparing to welcome guests.

Unlike the Outer Knights, who were busy patrolling and reinforcing their vigilance in case of an impure situation, Gwanggwi-su, who was in charge of the internal security, was continuing his usual work without anything special.

‘Instead, it is said that the inspection of the penetration path towards the inside of the shrine is conducted by the Inquisition Observation.’

Of course, there were more things to be concerned about than usual, but even taking them all into account, they weren’t as good as they are now.

“You can think of our full-fledged work as starting when we welcome the delegation. When that time comes, you won’t even have time to breathe, so don’t regret it too much.”

“Oh, no… I’m not sorry…”

While they were having such a conversation, a group of people, including the saint, approached from the other side of the aisle.

“Looks like the time has come. From now on, you have to be really nervous so that you don’t make even the slightest mistake.”

“yep.”

It was when they fixed their posture, staring straight ahead.

“hello! Sir Leilin, Sir Heinrich. Are you two in charge of security here today?”

The saint greeted them brightly with the people behind them hanging one after the other.

“Yes, Madame. Are you going to meet the delegation of the Elven Kingdom?”

“yes! I got a call from a temple in the east. Now you just have to cross the gate twice and you’ll get here.”

Of course, as the saint’s actions did not last for a day or two, everyone here was accustomed to dealing with the saint.

After receiving her greeting and talking to her naturally, Lairin immediately retreated and pointed towards the gate.

“Then there really isn’t much left. Shouldn’t you be quick to go inside?”

“oh! Yes. You must have already passed it once by now!”

The saint, who was nodding her head, went to the gate, paused for a moment, and turned her head to Heinrich.

Then he looked at him and started thinking about something.

“·················ogue.”

“···········?”

a sudden silence.

Heinrich couldn’t help but smile awkwardly at the bewildering situation when the eyes around him began to focus on him one by one.

‘Why are you doing that? You didn’t say hello?’

When Laylin greeted me, I was silent. didn’t you see

So I was contemplating whether he should greet me again even now.

“Are you going with Sir Heinrich?”

The saint uttered out of nowhere.

“ah! Welcome to the Elven Kingdom’s delegation. There is no need to keep the two of us here, right?”

The people around her looked puzzled at her hastily added words.

Certainly, as she said, there was no need to keep two passages right now.

Because the faces of those who follow her now are so gorgeous.

Even if the saint herself is second…

Archbishop Latius and other high-ranking priests who led the Immortal King subjugation squad, and high-ranking paladins including two paladins.

They headed directly to the gate, and there were one or two general paladins, but there was no difference in mana.

“Is there any reason why you want to take him?”

But that was it and this was this.

Because it wasn’t something I had set up for nothing in the first place.

If it becomes a habit to move vigilant personnel on your own, saying it’s okay now, there is a risk of puncturing the guard and shaking the system later.

As she was still a young saint, it was necessary to clearly inform them about that part.

At the words of Archbishop Latius who asked with a serious expression, the saint crawled uncontrollably.

He saw the atmosphere and realized he had done something wrong.

“I want to give Sir Heinrich a lot of experience ahead of time.”

“Certainly Sir Heinrich Landgard is a promising talent, but the support from the Church right now is by no means a light one. You don’t have to worry about it…”

No matter how Heinrich proved his worth by showing unrivaled growth, excessive favoritism could buy dissatisfaction from others.

Of course, as it is a religious denomination, if it is an opponent with strong divine power, they will understand and accept it.

In fact, the fact that the newcomer Heinrich has been recognized by everyone without much friction so far must have had a big impact.

But, isn’t the human mind controlled only by reason?

There may be people who feel embarrassed and get mental illness.

“that···! I can’t explain it well… I’m kind of worried about it. I’m interested, I want to take care of something…”

The saint hurriedly said as if making an excuse.

At her words, everyone’s eyes went back and forth between Saint and Heinrich.

“Hmm… those words…”

The archbishop thought about something and nodded slowly.

“If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do about it. Then you do it.”

Of course, there was no self-interest in their eyes.

Archbishop Latius and his companions nodded with an infinitely serious expression.

“Now that it’s done, I think I’ll have to stay here alone for a while, okay? Sir Lairin Setri?”

“yes! No problem. Leave it to me.”

The words of the saint who is the closest to the god.

In other words, it meant that she was unconsciously influenced the most by the will of the Lord God.

“Oh, I’ve heard that he is a talented person who shows interest in God enough to receive a blessing at the paladin ordination ceremony. Are you greedy for this? Aren’t you interested in breaking the bones of heretics?”

A ferocious-looking man with short black hair spoke to Heinrich with a grin.

One of the two paladins, he was the commander of the Knights Templar of the Black Moon, devoted exclusively to hunting warlocks and demon worshipers.

“Sir Heinrich doesn’t seem to be interested in the Order of the Holy Knights. However, if you change your mind later, don’t forget that our Silver Wings come first.”

Even Sir Tuskin, a Paladin who sneaks in from the side.

The sudden attention of the giants made me seriously troubled.

It didn’t feel bad to be favored by high-ranking officials, but…

‘More than that, was it because of the influence of Goddess that the saint was particularly friendly to me?’

It was clear that Ju-Jin was interested in him.

It is also true that they show interest enough to even give them a blessing.

It must have been a combination of that and the character of a saint who had a favorable attitude toward a person with strong divine power.

Anyway, there was nothing bad about this one.

It helped right away.

“Hmm… if I delay more, it will be late. You better hurry now.”

The party, including Heinrich, hurriedly moved to the gate.

Fortunately, there was no catastrophe in which the delegation came first before they arrived.

“The gate will be operational soon.”

Less than a minute after arriving at the gate room, the high priest in charge of the place could be heard.

“Huh, I must have been late! Fortunately, it came just in time! Ahahaha…”

The saint looked around and smiled cautiously.

He looked embarrassed, knowing he had done something wrong.

woo woo-

At that moment, a blue vortex swirled in the center of the gate and began to vibrate.

After a while.

One by one, the human spirits come out of the vortex.

Nearly 20 people immediately formed a line as soon as they left the gate.

They were the first elves I had ever seen in my life.

They soon approached us, who had been waiting on one side, with the one at the forefront.

“Welcome, delegations from the Elven Kingdom. Welcome to the Great Hall of Roselia. I am a saint of the Orthodox Church, Riesta Saint Hattian.”

When they got close enough, the saint stepped forward and greeted them with a soft smile.

Perhaps because it was a public event, he had a serious and dignified appearance that was different from usual.

“Thank you for your hospitality. My name is Lapori Granwood, a high elf from the Elven Kingdom.”

A handsome man with light blue hair standing in the front put one hand on his chest and bowed his head.

At the same time, the delegation group took the same stance.

So the elf delegation set foot in the Great Hall of Roselia.

***

At the urgent request of the elf, a seat was quickly prepared.

The denomination that had asked if they could get help first because of their circumstances readily accepted.

Heinrich was able to attend the conversation with the elves thanks to the consideration of the saint.

Saints and Archbishop Latius, standing behind the two paladins and attending them.

The Elven Kingdom side was attended by two men and two women, except for the high elf Lapori.

The three of them will be the head of the delegation.

‘But it’s really interesting.’

Heinrich stood behind the saint and squinted at them.

His main subject was Lapori Granwood, a high elf with soft azure hair reaching his shoulders.

The pure white skin, slim body, and pointy ears are exactly what I imagined.

The green pattern that resembled a tree drawn on his forehead was also unusual, but not surprising.

The thing that caught my attention the most right now was his eyes shining like stars.

.

‘Wow, the pupil is star-shaped. There’s gold.’

The dark blue iris and golden star pupils were shining like a shining morning star in the middle of the dawn sky.

‘Since the eyes of other elves are normal, they don’t seem to be racial characteristics. High elf symbol? Excuse me if I ask?’

That was when I was glaring at him and thinking about something else.

“It looks like my eyes are curious.”

I immediately flinched at Lapori’s sudden words.

Because it could be a problem if the other person took it rudely.

But his words were not directed at Heinrich.

“Hmmm… I’m sorry if it made you uncomfortable. Wow, your eyes are very beautiful. It was like a shining star in the sky, and I was taken my eyes off of it without realizing it.”

A saint who is coughing and trying to calmly hand over an apology.

. . . It seems that she, like him, was preoccupied with Lapori’s eyes.

“it’s okay. Because it was a necessary story. These pupils are the mark of a high elf.”

‘Also!’

Heinrich, who was relieved of his curiosity, listened to him with a more relaxed mind.

“I was just an ordinary elf at first. I was chosen by the World Tree to open my eyes, and I came to be called the High Elf.”

The high elves were a kind of priest.

A bridge between the Elves and the World Tree, the object of their faith.

“High elves are very important to us. Few are fit to be high elves. Isn’t it just that two or three people are born in a generation?”

Of course, one generation in terms of longevity elves was very different from humans.

And not all of them became high elves.

“When an elf born with aptitude grows and achieves certain conditions, he is chosen by the World Tree and qualified to become a high elf.”

It is said that when they are guided by the World Tree and reach the place where it is, they will eat the fruit that the World Tree gives to them and open their eyes to high elves.

“There are currently fewer than ten high elves left. Most of them are older though, so the new high elves are desperately needed.”

Read at noblemtl.net

Judging by his eyes, he seemed to be less than ten people.

No matter how much you believed in the Shinju Church, it would have been impossible to open up all the circumstances.

“But not long ago, I was able to receive a revelation from the World Tree. A child qualified as a high elf was born here on the continent of Aeon.”

In the old days, most of the heterogeneous races migrated to the Enamel Continent, but there were quite a few remaining in the Aeon Continent.

Looks like one of their descendants was qualified.

However, it seemed that he was not in a situation where he could come to the world tree on his own.

“. It has not been long since we fell into their hands, but the more time we delay, the more dangerous it is, so we need to search as quickly as possible.”

There was a limit to the information that could be known from the revelation of the world tree.

That is why we need an information network of the denomination across the continent.

“We need as much detail as possible. The more accurate the likely location or the appearance of the target, the better. I would like the description of the surrounding landscape to be as detailed as possible.”

Archbishop Latius, who sat next to the saint and listened quietly, spoke quietly.

“…we even figured out that it was headed somewhere in the Northern Mountains, led by slave hunters. After they passed on to the warlocks, the exact location of what they were doing is unknown.”

“The northern mountains are wide. In fact, most of the northern part of the Ion Continent is included in the northern mountain range. Any other information?”

“Appearance is no different from an ordinary elf as he has not yet opened his eyes. He looks like a human in his mid-teens, with light green hair and orange eyes.”

‘yes?’

“Well, first, let’s mobilize the denomination’s information network as much as possible. Oh, what about his name?”

“This is Cecily. We ask for it as soon as possible. Because you never know when the fourth moon will fly. If there’s anything we can do to help, we’ll do our best to help…”

‘what? this···.’

They started negotiating what to do next, but now that has become a non-trivial matter.

“hahaha—! I’m in trouble!”

Harley smiled wildly and scratched the back of her head, specifically the skin of the black panther’s head.

“Yes, little girl. What’s your name?”

He asked softly with a smile that seemed as harmless as possible.

Of course, with a face splattered with blood, it only looked ugly.

“Three … Cecily . . . This is Cecily.”

An elf girl with light green hair and orange eyes.

Apparently, Harley had found it first.
