Episode 129

65. I Met a Fairy – 1

“There’s no benefit to ignoring a fairy’s invitation.”

When the explanation was cut short after hearing the circumstances, Sur and Aisin tilted their heads.

Seol-i wagged her tail slightly at them as if asking why, then went into Lee Han’s arms and continued speaking.

“Fairies hold a grudge against those who reject their invitations.”

“Even if those flies harbor a grudge… … .”

“Do you want to see a bunch of fairies bother you?”

Hongryeon’s face turned pale as she blurted out an annoyed word.

He already hates fairies, but the thought of them chasing him and harassing him all the way to the Purple Forest seems discouraging.

“But I told you that if you accept the fairy’s invitation, you could be imprisoned for years. That’s a pain.”

“It’s not like that at all. When I went to the Fairy Kingdom with the witch at the invitation of the fairies, there was no delay or anything like that.”

“really?”

“That’s right. Of course, it could be because the witch granted the fairy what she wanted.”

“Look! I told you that flies never just go away.”

“But if you grant them what they want, you can receive a gift from the fairy. The witch can use magic of higher power by receiving a gift from the fairy.”

“There are also people who have gained something else. I heard that among the humans who went there in the past after receiving an invitation from the fairies, there were some who brought back special crops.”

At those words, Lee Han packed his bags.

“You’re not planning on leaving, are you?”

“I’ll be right back, Hongryeon. If you don’t want to go, would you mind waiting for me in a nearby village?”

Lee Han took out a purse and placed it in her hand.

Hongryeon trembled at the suggestion that she should rest there, as there was a large village not far from here.

“Do you know what they’re going to do to you? Are you going to go away? I’m going too!?!”

“If it’s to this extent, it’s not something you can go around getting beaten up about.”

Hongryeon pretended not to hear what Seol-i said and joined in packing her bags.

Sur and Aisin giggled at her like that.

“I think Sister Hongryeon gets lonely a lot!”

“You really don’t look like that~.”

Hongryeon’s face turned red at those words.

It was because I got caught following him because I didn’t want to be alone.

“Shut up, you little kids!”

“Kyahahahahaha!”

“Sister! Don’t do that~! Gyahahahahaha~!”

Hongryeon, who had punished the twins by catching them and tickling them, got on the cart after packing up her luggage.

And he said while looking at Lee Han taking out the blood ointment.

“If the fairies try to capture me by talking nonsense, I won’t stay still either.”

“Haha. Don’t worry. I won’t stay still either.”

After packing up all our luggage and heading to the riverside, the fog once again enveloped the group.

As I slowly moved forward through the fog, I began to hear voices like before.

-Come a little further~.

-We’re almost there now~.

Is it because of the cheerful voice?

Sur and Aisin, who were sitting on the cart, had sparkling eyes.

While they were raising their hands and touching the fog here and there, Seol-i, who was sitting on Lee Han’s lap, wagged her tail.

“I went there before, and I went through this kind of fog. I heard from the witch that this fog was some kind of spatial magic.”

“This is amazing. Aren’t we moving to another place through this fog?”

“That’s right.”

“You can’t use this kind of magic?”

“Even a witch can’t use this. It’s a power that only fairies are allowed to use.”

“Just as only humans can farm?”

“That’s right.”

If it’s something like that, no matter how much you desire it, you can’t have it.

Even as Lee Han was expressing regret, the carriage and wagon carrying them continued to move forward calmly.

How far had it moved? As the fog began to clear, Hongryeon clenched and unclenched her fists, seeming nervous.

“Are you okay?”

“I feel nauseous, have a headache, and feel dizzy, but I’m okay.”

“What part is okay… … .”

Hongryeon, who had been staggering, eventually lost her balance.

When she was about to fall, Lee Han caught her.

The slowly collapsing Hongryeon naturally fell to the floor of the cart.

“I need to take a break… … .”

“Let’s do that.”

If I had known it would be this hard, I would have forced you to rest in the village.

Was it because you hated being alone that much?

“How were you in the past? Were you always alone in the purple forest?”

“Ah. I don’t know. These days, being alone is boring and all.”

Hongryeon, who had been grumbling, grabbed Seolryeong’s tail and hugged her.

While the explanation was going on, the fog completely disappeared and a strange sight appeared before the eyes of the group.

“Wow… … .”

Sur and Aisin burst into cheers.

It was a beautiful sight.

A huge lake and a large castle floating in the middle of it… … .

Lee Han, who was blankly staring at the pure white castle shining in the moonlight, briefly raised his head.

A twinkling light was coming towards this place.

“Hello! Welcome to Fairyland!!”

She was a woman the size of a palm.

As she flew in with a pair of wings, smiling brightly, Sur and Aisin waved their hands excitedly.

“Wow! It’s a fairy!”

“It’s my first time seeing a fairy!!”

“Oh my? What cute little ones? Hehe. Nice to meet you~! I’m Rostar! I invited you by the Queen’s command!”

‘The Queen’s Invitation?’

Are you saying that it wasn’t just an invitation to play, but an invitation from the Queen?

Lee Han glanced at Seol-i.

“Did the witch also come in at the Queen’s invitation?”

“That’s right.”

“What happened?”

“It was because of the magic advice. At the time, there was a problem with the barrier magic the queen was using, so the witch was invited to solve the problem.”

“Did you solve it?”

“Of course.”

The explanation was confident, with the tail wagging.

Lee Han, who was stroking the tail, turned his eyes to Rostar.

“But why did you call us here?”

“Yeah. I’ll find out more once I meet the Queen… … . I’d like to ask you to catch a frog for me.”

“frog?”

“Yeah. A frog.”

As soon as the word frog came to his mouth, Rosta covered his body with both hands as if he was afraid.

She was shivering so much that her face turned pale, and she flapped her wings and flew over to sit on Seol-i’s back.

“Because frogs are so scary.”

“The frog he’s talking about is probably a king frog.”

“What is a frog?”

“I know! The frog is a monster that lives in water and eats things like bugs!”

“Is it a dangerous creature?”

“Hmm… … No! Even those who can fight a little can be easily caught!”

“Ugh. Frogs are scary… … .”

“Can’t fairies use magic? If an elf, and even a child, can catch one, they can’t be that dangerous, right?”

“The fairies’ weakness is frogs.”

What is this?

After Lee Han giggled at the surprised look, Lee wrapped his tail around the roster above him.

Thanks to the fluffy fur of the explanation, the fearful Lost began to feel relieved little by little.

“Fairy magic doesn’t work on frogs.”

“That’s interesting. Why?”

“I don’t know the exact details, but I heard that it was the price paid for possessing outstanding magical skills. The greater the gift you receive from the Creator, the more obvious your weaknesses are.”

“Oh… … I see. So elves also have such a clear weakness?”

“Not really. Elves, along with humans, didn’t receive much from the Creator. They’re just more beautiful than other races and have slightly longer lifespans.”

“That seems like a lot… … .”

“I don’t know if I should see it as a good thing, because I’ve been put in a lot of dangerous situations because of that beauty.”

“I heard that when humans existed, elves were often enslaved by humans. I guess they wanted to take advantage of the beauty that elves possessed.”

“I see. So now that humans are gone, the elves can live comfortably…?”

“Instead, it has become difficult to obtain food. Farming is something only humans can do. If it weren’t for the land blessed by Gaia, we elves would have gone extinct long ago.”

“Ugh! That’s not important! Let’s go to the Queen!”

Losta, who was listening to Lee Han and his group talking seriously, quickly shouted.

As we were talking, I found myself standing in place.

Lee Han, who was stroking the rooster that was pushing him, moved the blood jade water.

“But that castle seems to be where fairies live. Can we go in?”

“If we go near there, our size will also get smaller.”

It was just as the explanation said.

As we got closer to the castle via the bridge leading to it, the castle seemed to be getting bigger.

No, the body is getting smaller.

Hongryeon frowned and clenched and unclenched her fists, feeling uncomfortable about her body shrinking due to the fairy’s magic, while Sur and Aisin consoled her.

As we entered the castle, many fairies were waiting at the entrance.

“The warriors are coming!”

“Wow~! Warrior! Warrior!”

“A warrior who will defeat the frogs and save the fairies!”

It was a grand welcome.

As we passed by the welcoming people who seemed to have gathered all the fairies living in the castle, and arrived at the main castle in the center of the castle, a beautiful blonde woman was waiting in front of the main castle.

“Nice to meet you. It is an honor to serve you all. I am Titania, the Queen of the Fairies.”

“Nice to meet you. This is Lee Han.”

“I believe you know the reason I invited you all. Everyone. Can you help us defeat the frog, a formidable enemy that our fairies cannot defeat?”

It was a sorrowful voice.

The queen, with tears in her eyes, complained that many fairies had been captured by the frogs over the years, and approached Lee Han and held his hand tightly.

“Please, defeat those terrible and fearsome enemies and bring peace to our fairyland.”

“That’s not difficult, but… … I don’t work for free.”

“Of course. I will grant you whatever you wish.”

“Okay, then. But where are the frogs?”

“It’s set up over there on the lake.”

“Huh? So we have to fight frogs in a place where fairy magic is in effect?”

When Hongryeon asked with a trembling voice, the queen nodded slightly.

She didn’t seem to like the idea of ​​having to fight frogs while they were so small.

“Is it impossible to… fight?”

“Does being here weaken our power?”

“That’s not true.”

“Okay then. I’ll do it.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

The queen was delighted and hugged Lee Han tightly before raising her hand.

At her signal, the armored fairies stepped forward.

“We will take responsibility for taking you and taking you to the place where those cruel and scary frogs are!”

“I’m speaking confidently, but I feel like I’m losing strength because the other person is a frog… … .”

Lee Han, who was caressing the trembling explanation, followed the knights.

As soon as we exited the castle to the east and arrived near a large lake, we heard the croaking of frogs.

“Euuuuu… … . A dog, a frog… … .”

“I’m scared… … . I’m scared… … .”

The knights who had seemed fearless until just a moment ago were completely frightened by the sound of frogs.

Lee Han stopped them and looked at his group, fearing that he would faint if he asked for more guidance.

No one seemed particularly afraid.

“Let’s be careful here, since we’re small.”

As soon as he finished speaking, something huge rose from the lake.

It was a green frog.

Because of its small size, the frog was only as big as a house, but Lee Han and his group didn’t feel particularly afraid.

“Kuaaaaaaah!”

“It’s a frog!!”

“Run away!!”

But it seems they weren’t knights.

Hongryeon, who had been looking at them with pity as they screamed in panic, made a light gesture, and when her spider web flew and cut the frog in half, the fairies cheered.

“Wow!! The warrior has knocked down the frog!!”

“Amazing! Really amazing!!”

“What a great warrior! No other warrior has been able to take down a frog so quickly!!”

Hongryeon let out a deep sigh at the cheers coming from behind her.

“It’s so discouraging to hear things like this while fighting with a mere frog… … .”
