Regression Life Starting With Two Traits - Regression Life Starting With Two Traits chapter 95

Chapter 096 Ariel the Elf

Moments later, the elf woke up and returned the dagger to me.

“thank you. I am Ariel from the Winter Forest. Who are you?”

“My name is Yoo Seo-jun.”

After everyone had made a statement, we left Ariel and the women with Minyoung and tidied up the cabin.

After burying the bodies in the backyard, we sat around a table.

Killian brought something to eat from the cellar.

The party who had just seen the corpse said they had no appetite, but Ilia and Killian ate it regardless.

“You have to get used to it, this is a place like that.”

Ilya said, throwing bread at me.

Ariel and the women were also hurriedly eating their portions of food.

I glared at the bread Ilya threw and took a bite.

As soon as the soft bread started chewing in my mouth, it went down my throat.

“It’s over, this.”

When I said I was surprised too, Ilya smiled and said,

“It is proof that you are alive. thanks.”

It was not wrong.

If I had hesitated, it would have been me who couldn’t eat this bread.

“If we want to survive again in the future, we have to do our part. You said the trading place was the western outskirts, right?”

“Yeah, I’ll have to go there to see what kind of guy he is.”

I was trying to discuss with Ilia how to catch him, but Ariel said.

“I will help you.”

“Ariel? Are you okay?”

When I asked, she nodded and said,

“An elf repays the favor when the target is helped, even if it is an enemy.”

“It’s also the reason the elves perished.”

Hearing Ariel’s story, Ilia nodded and said.

It seemed rude, but Ariel nodded as if it didn’t matter and continued.

“It’s an old story. Now we live with humans, but we have lost a lot of power in that long history.”

“Have the elves lost their power?”

“Yes, there are only a few elves who are still pure-blooded as they lost their homeland and scattered. I am a quarter elf. Mana’s talent was not chosen, and as time goes by, unlike purebloods, they are getting weaker like humans.”

“So how are you going to help us?”

Ilia always treated Ariel crookedly.

“Ilya, do you have any ill feelings toward the elves?”

When I asked, Ilya snorted and said,

“I lost my family to the elves in the Great War. You can’t feel good, can you?”

“sorry.”

Ariel lowered her head, and Ilya stood up, driving the bread knife into the table.

“I’m most annoyed by that side of elves. You don’t have to apologize. I know, a lot of elves must have died from humans too, because war is like that.”

“Ilya, calm down.”

After I stopped, Ilya sat down again and spoke to Ariel.

“If you don’t have the strength to fight against the Quarter Elves, thank them and run away to the forest. Don’t jump into the pit of fire just because you want to repay the favor.”

“but!”

“What does the customs of the elves have to do with me? I’m a person who doesn’t even follow the customs of humans.”

“Eucari Theo.(εὐχαριστέω.)”

This time, Ariel said something incomprehensible, like when she killed the man.

I thought I would be able to learn all languages with the magic Gilliant gave me, but is there anything I don’t?

“What is he saying now? I don’t know elvish, speak the common language of the continent.”

“It means thank you. We elves’ ancient language has magical powers just by its pronunciation. So I blessed you.”

It’s an ancient language of the elves, so maybe that’s why I couldn’t understand it with Gillian’s magic?

I also wondered what she meant by shouting earlier, so I asked her.

“Then, what did you mean when you killed the man earlier?”

“It means ‘to die’. It is a kind of curse because it symbolizes spiritual death and eternal death.”

Suddenly, there were many things that made me curious about Ariel, but I decided to stop asking personal questions.

“So, how were you trying to help us?”

“Just feel free to call me Ariel. I may not be of any help by force, but I can be a decoy. Isn’t the person you want to catch the one who bought me and those women? So you will need me?”

Ariel’s thoughts were the same as the operation I was about to do.

“I thought about that. Of course, I didn’t mean to take Ariel or them directly.”

Anyone who tried to trade with slave traders said he knew their faces.

So I transformed the party with the transformation magic I learned from Penzaric and tried to subdue him when he appeared at the trading place.

After hearing my story, Ilya stroked my chin and said,

“Somehow, he had no regrets about killing them, so he must have already planned everything.”

“I would have killed him if it hadn’t been for this plan. More than that, Ariel, are you really okay?”

I asked again.

Ariel nodded and said.

“I’m fine. And although it is said that it has weakened a lot, it is said that it inherits the blood of the elves. In the forest, I got caught in their trap because I was careless.”

Ariel then glared at the men’s corpses.

*

The rain did not stop and continued to come.

I couldn’t tell the time because of the darkened sky, so I decided to go to the trading place in advance.

The other two women decided not to take them.

“Everyone wait here and leave when the rain stops.”

“thank you. thank you.”

After greeting the women, we put on the cloaks we found in the hut and headed towards the trading place.

“I guess the weather helped.”

“Yes, I will only transform Ilia. Other people don’t have to use transformation magic separately.”

Only Ilia, who had to deal directly, was transformed into the appearance of the captain.

Ilya played a trick separately, and his voice became the same as the captain’s.

The western outskirts we arrived at were vast plains.

“If I follow this road, where does it lead?”

Ilya answered my question.

“It must be the castle of Baron Nirgaf?”

“A baron? Then wouldn’t it be too openly that the baron was the culprit?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s a conspiracy. Baron Nirgaf is not the kind of person who would do something like this.”

While waiting, the party spread a protective shield with the element of wind in order to be less exposed to rain.

Then, let’s warm up the surroundings using the element of fire, Ariel said.

“It’s great that you can manipulate the elements.”

“Can’t all wizards do it?”

Penzaric had nothing to say about it.

But Ariel was rather surprised.

“It is nonsense. It is a completely different area to deal with mana to create elements and to deal with the elements themselves.”

“When dealing with the elements, I also use mana. Is that different?”

“Sigh, how should I explain this?”

Ariel, who was worried, snapped her fingers and explained.

“Let me explain it like this. Ordinary wizards create elements by arranging formulas with mana. So, rather than being a pure element, it is a made-up element. However, the element you just used is the element itself. It is not an element made of mana. Do you understand now?”

“Wasn’t mana the root of this world? After all, there is mana in the elements, right?”

With Gilliant’s help, he gained the Circle through that realization.

So, of course, I thought Mana was the root of this world.

“Yes, mana is the source of all things. Hmm, I guess I didn’t explain enough. Let me give you another example.”

Then Ariel held up a handful of dirt from the ground and showed it.

“Other mages arrange mana to use the elements of the earth to make soil, and then go through the process of forming it into the form they want. By the way, you just use this soil in nature without such a process. Am I right?”

“… … Yes, that’s right.”

It was like getting hit in the head.

As Ariel said, mana was being used only as a medium to connect me with the five elements that make up the basics of the world.

Why didn’t I ever realize that?

The question was dispelled by Ariel’s next words.

“Even if you don’t know, you understand. Harnessing the power of the elements is a rare gift. It is a legend that exists only in lost history.”

“I just thought it was unusual because it could use a variety of elements.”

“Variety? How many elements would you like to handle?”

Ariel asked with surprised eyes, and I opened my hand to let you know.

“Fire, wind, water, earth, light. These are the five elements.”

At my words, Ariel sat down with a shocked face.

“why? Is this something that shocks you?”

“Yes, it is great to draw and use the natural power of the elements, but to be a person chosen by the five elements. It was a trait that only the chosen royalty of the first elves showed up.”

The other party members who were listening to our conversation also looked surprised.

“You mean this guy has royal elven blood in his blood?”

When Ilya asked, Ariel shook her head.

“Not necessarily. If you have royal blood, you can’t look like this.”

“Wait, that’s hard to hear.”

This kind of look, how am I?

“I mean this ear. If you have even a little bit of elven blood, you can’t help but have these pointy ears. That’s why I keep these ears even though I’m a quarter elf.”

“Then you should have talked about the ear earlier. I almost misunderstood.”

Ariel smiled and said at my criticism.

“It’s better not to talk about looks and magic in front of elves.”

“I heard you can’t even do magic.”

“Still, I grew up and learned in elven society. I pride myself on having more knowledge than anyone else.”

I was able to get information about my characteristics from an unexpected place.

I summoned the element of fire in my hand.

Up until now, I had just written like flowing water.

I took it for granted.

Hearing the difference from Ariel, I felt the element of fire swaying in my hand was different.

The flickering flames seemed to be laughing at me for knowing that now.

Next to it, the elements of wind, earth, water, and light were all summoned.

The power of the elements themselves that make up this world, not created with mana.

I was dealing with that.

As I released the elements in my hand, the fire and wind slowly disappeared, and the water mixed in with the falling rain.

The element of earth seeped into the floor and the element of light began to illuminate my surroundings.

[I have gained an understanding of approaching the root of Elemental Master’s characteristics.]

[You have become a Circle 7 user.]

A message popped up with a flash of light.

At the same time, a multi-colored beam of light formed around me and penetrated the direction where my heart was.

I felt refreshed as if all the fatigue had been washed away.

The amount of mana doubled than usual.

“You have moved up a notch. Congratulations.”

Ariel congratulated me after seeing me.

“Wow, you are so cool! did you see it before? It was very beautiful. Ah, I should have taken a video, but Heejin noona told me to leave all the records… … Oh, this is a secret.”

Hyuk made a lot of noise and covered his mouth.

When I had a chance, I made a video and took a picture with my phone, and it seems that Kim Hee-jin ordered it.

“Great. Congratulations, Seojun.”

“Damn it, what are we going to do when we get stronger?”

Min-young and Su-yeon also said a word to each other.

I looked at Ariel and said.

“It’s thanks to Ariel.”

“Enlightenment is something you get yourself. Perhaps, it was fate that you and I met.”

“I’m happy that you’ve been promoted, but it looks like a trader has appeared.”

Ilya’s smiling expression hardened and he looked ahead.

I saw the silhouettes of three people standing on the horizon.

They were coming toward us, and they were also pulling a prison wagon.

“We are going to the operation. Ilya takes care of the conversation.”

Afraid to make a mistake, Ilya decided to take care of the transaction.

Soo-yeon and Min-young knelt beside Ariel, and Killian, Hyuk, and I surrounded them.

“What about things?”

The trader who arrived in front of us immediately asked.

“Money?”

Ilya pointed at Ariel and said.

“Elf? Did you catch the elf?”

“Isn’t race irrelevant? Wasn’t that what you guys wanted a woman for?”

“That’s right, but the value changes this way.”

“So what about the money?”

“Your personality is still impatient. take it.”

After receiving the money bag from the trader, Ilya tossed and picked it up, weighed it, and said,

“Does it seem a bit lacking?”

“Don’t talk presumptuously. You should be grateful to receive money.”

“It’s not even your money, is it? Can you give me some more?”

“where! Do you not know who this money belongs to?!”

“Whose money is it?”

We held our breath and waited for an answer.

It was an important subject.

But the guy gnashed his teeth and turned around without answering.

“You guys are the ones I dare not speak of. Hey, burn the slaves!”

Two men waiting behind us approached us.

Ilya looked back at me and I nodded.

The time has come.

At my signal, the party started moving.

“What, what?! Kuck!”

“Hey, what the heck! Big!”

Killian’s dagger and mine knocked the two men down.

The moment the trader looked back at the commotion, Ilya quickly grabbed the dagger and brought it to the opponent’s neck.

“What are you doing! Do you all want to die?”

At the trader’s cry, I released the transformation magic I had cast on Illia and took off the hood attached to my cloak.

“Eh, a wizard?”

The man who was suppressed by Ilya’s dagger stuttered in surprise.

I approached him and said with a smile.

“Hello, mister? Shall we have a real conversation?”
