How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 134

A huge tree grows in the center of Glacier Baengnyeong.

Yggdrasil, the World Tree, a pillar holding up the sky, said to have lived for thousands of years.

It is a living relic of the mythical age that embraces the entire fairy palace.

“Master, do you intend to go inside the World Tree?”

“I won’t let you in. The fairy palace, that is to say, the space inside the world tree is a sanctuary for half-fairies.”

Xian answered Hector’s question.

The Fairy Palace of Glacier Baengnyeong is located inside the World Tree. It is a place that the half-elves hold very sacred.

A place that only those who have been verified among the same half-elves can barely enter.

“What, among the list of destinations I wanted to see on the ground, there was also the inside of the World Tree.”

“Don’t even think about entering by force. It’s a place where thousands of years of old magic are lined up.”

“Is there any way?”

“If you had descended into a half-fairy body rather than a human, there would have been a possibility.”

He, the Celestial Lord of Thunder, saw his own body. The body of a human named Hector. Then he tasted it.

“Well, I can’t help it.”

It’s unfortunate, but it’s still a pretty good body.

The human body that hit the master’s level was difficult for demons to obtain.

Because in general, those who raise their own level do not ask or ask the demons of Hell.

Hector was quite the exception.

“By the way, are you okay, Queen?”

Xian looked at the giant king and asked.

Then the Giant King blinked.

“What are you okay?”

“Looks like there are quite a few ancient records left over here, but isn’t it dangerous to find out that you’re the King of Giants?”

“Ah, can that be?”

The Giant King pointed at himself with his index finger. The figure of a little boy barely reaching half of Xian’s height.

“Who would think that a little boy like this is a giant?”

His appearance has changed a lot compared to the past.

Hundreds of years since it was sealed. It was natural to throw away the shell that could no longer be maintained and construct a new body.

Even if the image of the King of Giants was recorded as a picture, there was no way that he would be discovered now.

“That too.”

Sian nodded his head at the understandable explanation.

Then there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Xian saw a huge tree in front of him that looked like a mountain.

‘Did they say Yuseol was there too?’

First, catch the giant. And the black magician behind him. Rather, being a black magician was Xian’s real goal.

After that, if you meet her, talk to her for the first time in a while, and tell her about Yeon-yeon.

Xian, Hector, and the Giant King ran straight toward the World Tree.

* * *

The center of Glacier Baengnyeong. The place where the world tree is located where the fairy palace is located.

Numerous giant trees form a dense forest around the world tree.

Normally, when a huge plant grows, it sucks up all the nutrients from the land, leaving the area devastated, but the World Tree was different.

The tree grew as if it would reach the sky, but embraced all the trees around it.

And in that forest, there was a village where half-elves lived. Saihan, the lower village of the fairy palace.

“Caught! finish!”

The black magician and the giant presumptuously invaded the relationship between them. The patron saints living in Saihan were throwing their maces at them.

“Leave it to me!”

The youngest newcomer knight rushed with great vigour.

The giants are held by the seniors. You can kill him just by stabbing his heart like this.

The newcomer, who had not been active throughout the battle, confidently attacked the lying giant this time.

The blade he held was cold forged, reflecting the sunlight.

“Kuaa!”

The giant, who had been tied up, struggled vigorously.

The newcomer was hit by the arm he swung. The giant’s eyes flashed, and he spread his palms and slashed them down at the newcomer.

“omg!”

“damage!”

That moment when a huge shadow covers it.

Just as the body froze at the sight of a falling rock, the newcomer froze at the sight of a falling palm. Because he was still inexperienced.

Just as the senior opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, she appeared.

“Psyche.”

rumor. A sharp chill rushes through her white haired hands.

Just like that, she raised her hand and cut it.

Push shush!

The giant’s wrists were slashed by the sharp cold. The cross section froze in an instant, and not a single drop of blood came out.

“Quaaa! These flying flies!”

The giant jumped more violently at the burning pain rising from his severed wrist.

However, the senior knights were not vigilant twice. They made sure to subdue the giant from further rampage.

As Yu Seol opened his mouth, his body froze in an instant.

The giant reflexively raised mana to try to block the rumor, but it was already used up in the fight with the other knights.

In the end, all that remains is a cold ice statue made into a giant.

“her.”

“I can see why the Queen cares for it.”

The knights looked uncomfortable, but couldn’t hide their admiration and glanced at each other.

Even though they consumed mana in advance, it was never easy to freeze that huge giant in an instant.

It wasn’t possible, at least not for a 17-year-old kid.

“Whoa.”

She sighed and blew her fingertips. The cold air that lingered on his arms spread gently and scattered into the sky.

“… … .”

“let’s go.”

The other knights of the Guardian Castle glanced at her and went to check the giant’s condition.

No one spoke to Yu Seol.

Only the new knight who received the help hesitated and tried to say thanks, but the senior knight urged him to do so with a slap on the shoulder.

[are you okay?]

Psyche was worried about her. He drooped his shoulders as if he didn’t care about the rumors.

“are you okay. Because it has always been.”

Being alone is something that has always happened since childhood.

Although she was surrounded by people at the academy, those days were rather unusual for her.

Of course, being alone in the family when I was young and being shunned by the guardians now weren’t the same reasons.

[ha.]

Psyche sighed.

At the academy, although there are few of them, it was okay to make friends and have people to open up to.

But suddenly the Empire raised soldiers and completely occupied the academy.

Thanks to this, Yuseol returned to Glacier Baengnyeong. In that cold place where no one cared about her except for Yu-yeon’s occasional peek.

However, in the midst of that, the author called the queen distanced Yoo Seol from Yeon Yeon.

While forcibly holding Yuseol near the palace.

Psyche couldn’t figure out why the queen had her eyes on Yoo Seol.

[be careful. Because that woman is a bit reluctant.]

“… … You mean the queen? Is it recognizing your existence and spying on me?”

[Maybe, maybe not.]

No matter how much the queen is, there is no way she can see through herself at once… … Psyche thought, but couldn’t be sure.

I had only met the queen a few times through rumors, but I couldn’t get through to all of her.

-hey! what are you Is it the imperial army!?

―No, we… … .

―Catch it now!

Then a commotion came from the frozen giant’s side.

Yuseol looked at him, wondering what the hell was going on. Then I couldn’t help but be surprised.

There was a face that I never imagined I would meet here.

“… … draft?”

[Why is he here?]

It was Cyan Agrid, the last person I saw at the academy who broke up with me.

* * *

“I’m going to see that kid, so take care of yourself.”

After that, the giant king just stared at the frozen giant.

Hector was also looking into the distance as if he had nothing to do with it.

In the end, it was Xian’s job to deal with the Guardian Castle.

“I’ve been killing giants at the Queen’s request. I came here because I heard that one was found here too.”

“what? Really?”

“Come to think of it, I think I heard that you hired a human mercenary… … .”

“I didn’t hear anything about coming this way, did you?”

Suhoseong surrounded Xian’s party without taking his doubtful glances away.

It was fortunate that there was no sign of an immediate attack, but the atmosphere was by no means favorable.

“… … wait a minute. I know someone.”

“what?”

At that time, Yu Seol squeezed through the Guardian Knights.

The Guardian Knights were slightly surprised and opened the way. Since Yu Seol came to Saihan, it was the first time he had seen an active figure.

“A rumor?”

“you… … Why are you here?”

Seeing Xian up close, Yu Seol widened his eyes in surprise again.

Xian also wanted to say hello to the girl he hadn’t seen in a while, but it wasn’t the right situation.

It was because the guardian knights around me were staring at me suspiciously.

“I’m going around Glacier Baengnyeong at the Queen’s request. To deal with the giants.”

“giant? why… … ah.”

She questioned why he, an imperial person, wanted to kill the imperial giant, but soon remembered what happened when he escaped from the academy.

Even then, Xian defeated the flame giant that imprisoned Everweil. From then on, he was already at odds with the giant.

“Then, because of that guy in Saihan?”

“uh. But he is already dead.”

Xian looked at the frozen giant.

He had already been beaten by the knights without even using a hand. As the queen said, it seems that there was no need to come.

still.

Seeing the King of Giants saying his last goodbye in front of him, he didn’t think it was a waste of time.

“hey.”

At that time, one of the senior knights who had been whispering on the other side called over.

As Xian looked at him, the knight clicked his tongue and spoke.

“Confirmed. It was indeed the mercenary hired by the queen. I got a call from the palace that Saihan was allowed to enter.”

The wind spirit from the palace contacted him.

The senior engineer glared at Xian with a dissatisfied expression. Why the hell did the queen hire human mercenaries… … Not only that, but to enter Saihan, a village under the palace.

“The guide of the village is Yuseol, so you can do it. You said you knew each other, so you wouldn’t reject it?”

“yes.”

The senior engineer spoke to Yuseol in a blunt voice.

Yu Seol replied in a hard voice. It was a cold voice that reminded me of the first time Xian met her.

When Xi’an’s identity was confirmed, the Guardian Knights left to deal with the giant’s ice statue again.

The King of Giants, who had been watching him, returned to Xian’s side before he knew it, as if he had finished all his last greetings.

Hector and the Giant King. After seeing Xi’an’s party once, Liu Xian talked to Xi’an.

“Follow me at once. Let’s talk in a place where we can rest.”

She guided Xian and his party into the forest where Saihan was located.

Under the care of the World Tree, the giant forest grew taller and thicker than anywhere else.

Xian took a look in the direction of the Giant King, and followed her.
