My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World - My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World chapter 107

107 – Cycle (2)

We, caught up in the unknown power of the old fortune teller, fell into a forest with little melted snow piled up here and there.

“Ugh, it’s cold…” .”

It was a time when summer was just around the corner.

Because our clothes were so light, we began to tremble as skin grew all over our bodies.

We had to quickly confirm our location and find a safe place to warm up.

“Now, please wait a moment…” .”

Priscilla’s hobby is gardening, so she started looking around to see where this place was.

Judging by the way his face became tense every moment, I got the feeling that this was at least not the Continent of Arcradium.

“Is this where the trees we saw in the dungeon are? These are all trees I’ve seen for the first time. Ugh….”

After saying that, Priscilla looked around and began examining a tree that appeared to have been cut down by someone.

“Most tree rings have opposite directions….”

In general, the narrow space between tree rings points to the north, and the wide space between rings points to the south.

The opposite means that this is a continent in the Southern Hemisphere.

“This is not a fantasy… ?”

Priscilla said and hugged her shaking shoulders.

“If this cold is an illusion, I don’t think I can distinguish it from reality anymore.”

I am fortunate to have the dual attributes of sun and fire.

Thinking like that, I gently exhaled fiery mana.

“Ah….”

“Is it better now?”

“Yes. Phew….”

I held Priscilla’s shoulders and looked around her.

“I’m glad though. “At least it’s a place where you can feel the human touch.”

The area where Priscilla checked the tree rings was also littered with trees with only stumps remaining.

It was not a natural break, but rather a place that appeared to be traces of logging by an intelligent body.

“Just wait.”

I started looking around at what appeared to be a logging site.

“Here you go.”

The hobby of hunting can be helpful in times like this.

Thinking like that, I walked with Priscilla along the traces that seemed to indicate that humans had once passed by.

“This is a trace left by a person.”

The forest is a place where even experienced hunters who frequent the forest often get lost.

That is why, in forests touched by humans, there are signs that only they can recognize.

“Does this mean I can go here?”

“Hunters sometimes leave traces to tell people to be careful because there is danger ahead. So I guess I should check it out. “Just wait a moment.”

“Ugh, yes…” . Everyone, please go….”

Priscilla sent me off with a trembling voice.

I guess I should hurry and check it out before heading down.

I decided to do so and jumped into a nearby, lumpy tree that was easy to climb.

‘This is the real sun.’

A cold wind blew, but the sun’s rays felt warm on my skin.

That alone made me feel a little relieved.

‘If the lumberyard is over there…’ .’

For a logging site, a road must be built to move the trees.

So, there must be a river nearby, a well-maintained road, and an area where people live.

‘Over there.’

I carefully got down from the tree and started walking towards where I could see traces of people.

“It doesn’t seem to be a signal pointing to a dangerous place.”

I began walking carefully along the trail with Priscilla.

“Ugh, uh….”

From Noble mtl dot com

Winter forests take away warmth from people faster than you can imagine.

If you wander through the forest like this for a long time, your life may be in danger.

“We’re almost there. “Hold on a little more.”

“Yes, yes…” .”

We walked through the forest with expressions stiff from the cold, praying for traces of people to appear.

After advancing through the forest for a while, we managed to arrive at what appeared to be a human village.

“Whoa…” .”

It is more important from here.

It was still unknown whether the residents here would be friendly to us.

“It’s a person.”

“Yes, it’s a person.”

It is a person.

Can they recognize our existence?

Jeobbuk.

Poof.

When we heard the sound of footsteps, the eyes of those who appeared to be villagers turned to us.

They looked us up and down and started shouting something with nervous expressions.

“Hwa, you’re not welcome, are you?”

“It might be an illusion.”

In a bad way.

Kangkangkang!

As the bell hung on the guard post erected in the village rang loudly, the young people of the village gathered, carrying farm implements that served as weapons.

Then he looked at us and started shouting.

“Who are you?” “Why are you coming out of there!”

These people still communicate well.

Relieved by that, I raised both hands to show that I had no intention of fighting.

It was in the form of blocking Priscilla’s front sight in case an arrow could fly.

“I got caught up in the fairy’s prank and got lost.”

“Uh, uh….”

The expression “Fairy mischief” Is said to have been used even in the mythical era when the First Emperor lived.

According to the myth, there really were fairies back then.

“A fairy’s prank?”

“Was there a fairy around here?”

It seemed like a world where fairies really existed.

“Why did you say fairy… ?”

Priscilla looked at the residents with a nervous expression and asked that question.

“It feels more unnatural to crawl out of the forest in this outfit.”

It is a fairly large forest.

Our clothes were too simple and we had no luggage to be considered people who had wandered around such a place.

What’s more, they are equipped with excellent swords that commoners do not use.

The excuse of being a fairy is actually a realistic situation.

“That’s not true, is it?”

“Uh… Umm….”

Is that fortune telling old woman a fairy?

Priscilla began to tilt her head with a subtle expression.

‘The atmosphere is not so good.’

A suspicious visitor wearing a sword came to a small village of about 100 people.

It seems like the worst outcome of becoming a village of bandits and cannibals has been avoided….

Chuck.

It seems that the results of the village residents have come out.

“Get out of this town!”

It was an extremely common sense conclusion.

However, for those of us who made an emergency landing in a place like this without any preparation, it was a statement that was close to a death sentence.

“Don’t go behind my back.”

“Yes, yes.”

They are aiming their bows at the guard post to prevent us from doing anything foolish.

This is an imminent situation.

‘If this situation continues….’

Heads to the entrance of the village while surrounded by villagers.

If that happens, it means that you will be able to get into the range of the guard at the guard post on your own.

I have the mana of the sun, so as long as the arrow doesn’t hit my shoulder, it’s okay.

But with Priscilla by her side, she didn’t want to be in such a dangerous situation.

‘Use mana to escape at once.’

I began to prepare to rush out, subtly using the mana of the sun.

It was that moment.

“Oh my god….”

The villagers who noticed the mana of my sun knelt on the ground, using the expression ‘god’.

“Uh, uh… ?”

Don’t look at me like that, Priscilla.

I’m not sure what the situation is either.

***

We were politely invited to the finest house that appeared to be the village chief’s house.

“Ah, uh….”

I feel like all my tension will melt away in the warmth coming from the rather nice-looking fireplace installed inside.

In times like these, you have to be more alert.

I sat Priscilla down near the fireplace and sat next to her, nervous as to not be surprised by her when she was off guard.

“A lowly being meets God.”

“It is done. “Stop it.”

The original tone of voice flowed out of habit.

However, in a situation where someone is called a god, I think this is the right response.

“Where am I?”

“This is a small village near the Bran territory.”

The territory has a name.

That alone made me feel strangely relieved.

“We are just travelers caught up in a fairy’s prank. “Why do you use the title ‘God’ for me?”

“How can we forget the divine light that saved us from evil?”

The village chief carefully looked at me as he said this, then asked my permission and served warm tea in front of us.

I gently tapped Priscilla’s hand under the table, signaling that I would check her for poison first.

It is very convenient when the sun’s mana is like this.

Even if it contains poison, you will not die.

‘Hmm….’

There is no poison.

However, it feels too stuffy to be called tea.

I can’t just get the water out, so should I say it’s water steeped with weeds…? .

There doesn’t seem to be any poison.

With that judgment in mind, I nodded slightly.

“Could you please explain why you call me God?”

“Of course, God.”

The wrinkled village chief said he was overflowing with honor and placed the large book in the village chief’s room on the table.

“Once upon a time, the shadow of a very fearful being fell over this continent.”

The village chief said this and pointed to a part that looked like an illustration.

The illustration was truly bizarre.

And that strangeness felt very familiar to me.

“Maximilian….”

“Yes.”

Humanity has turned into the monster that the First Emperor faced.

“It was an act carried out by wicked cultists who worship evil gods.”

… A wicked cult who worships an evil god?

According to what I know, it is because humanity wants knowledge for itself.

“But to save us from being threatened by such evil spirits, God sent a great warrior.”

The illustration on the next page depicted a being emitting light from its entire body.

It was a truly crude painting, but it was a mysterious illustration that conveyed the message it was trying to convey.

“The Mana of the Sun….”

As Priscilla muttered, it was a painting that seemed to depict the mana of the sun.

That made it even more of a strange feeling.

She heard that the first time was that he led humanity to a new continent, escaping the shadow of apocalypse.

But what on earth are these people living like this? .
