'Krettakk!'
The sound of a broken wooden branch in the bonfire was heard to enliven this cold and dark atmosphere several times.
In a burnt-out forest, with dry, dead trees, a woman was sitting before the fire.
He had the appearance of an Elf in general. With long unraveling silver hair and pointed and moderately long ears.
The woman seemed to be stirring something inside the small iron pot. Which seems to contain a fairly thick broth liquid with lots of potatoes and other vegetables in it.
Every now and then, the woman glanced towards the figure of someone lying helplessly next to her.
After confirming that the man was still silent, the woman raised the pot of potato soup back to the bonfire. Reheat.
Next to it was a wooden glass and a pot filled with warm water.
'Sluurr!'
Sipping the warm water, He breathed the breath that created dew.
It's a strange phenomenon. It should be in the middle of spring by now. But in fact, the temperature around this place is still as cold as in winter.
After a while passed and the potato soup started to heat up, the woman took a wooden bowl and a small spoon.
He picked up a bit of the soup after stirring it several times. Enjoy the warm soup and water on this cold starry night.
When He had finished his meal, the woman immediately put the wooden bowl on the side. With both hands clinging to each other, He said something that no one else could understand at all.
"Virya vase durr Zhen kaltakh."
After saying that sentence, several balls of light with a beautiful greenish color appeared around him. Slowly, the ball of light moved towards the man's helplessly lying body.
Surround her body slowly with that soft and beautiful green light.
He has been doing this routine for about two days. And nothing special happened to that guy.
His heart is still beating. He's still breathing. But that is just a feature of ordinary living beings.
For the Elf race who had very close ties to Mana, the woman was very confident. That there's something terribly wrong with the man sleeping next to her.
That is a fact, that the Man has absolutely no Mana in his body.
In fact, how hard He tried to give Mana to her, her body seemed to refuse. Like an oil watered by water.
And for a high-level living being, it should not exist in this world.
Even small animals like mice still have an affinity for Mana. But these?
Getting rid of her complicated thoughts, the woman apparently ransacked her big bag and looked for something. After finding what he was looking for, he immediately placed it on the man's body.
It was a blanket that had been tattered due to this war.
With such a beautiful voice, he said.
"Good night, Hyume."
And after that, he also immediately decided to sleep quietly in this burnt-out forest.
Least....
Far from conflict in the big cities.
......***......
...- City of Venice -...
With Leo's death, the power order in the City, including in the Rustfell region, suffered a severe shock.
As his first wife, Roselia decides to take control of Rustfell City and territory for a while until a better candidate is found.
Massive changes are taking place in the region.
In the leadership of Leo for almost 7 years, the Rustfell region gained progress and an economic boom that was so extraordinary.
The job field is wide open. It was too wide that Leo proposed a law to have at least 5 children in each family in order to fulfill all these jobs in the future.
But unfortunately, the law was rejected by quite a number of nobles and other higher-ups because it would cause instability in the next 20 years.
There are no more poor people.
There is no one who cannot eat.
Everyone can live properly. And for anyone who feels as if they no longer have a special destination or skill, they can still enter the military at any time.
Where the military will guarantee a decent life for himself and his own family.
The outcome?
A region that could be said to be close to the word Utopia itself.
But unfortunately, now the man responsible for bringing them all to Utopia is gone.
Including the 10,000 soldiers who were with him at the time.
Unmitigated, said the symbolic funeral is attended by almost all residents in the city of Venice. Even some of the residents in other cities and villages seemed to flock to come to attend it.
Least....
To give a flower to his tomb.
Not a single word was heard during the funeral. Everyone fell silent, looking at the symbolic tomb before them in a calm manner.
Strive to pray for the best for Leo, Selene, and the entire squad that goes with her.
As soon as Reina, Stella, and Marcus stepped away, everyone started following them.
It started with Artemis, then Roselia. Lucas and his wife and children were also present at the funeral.
Until finally, the ceremony was disbanded without a word order. Everyone immediately returned to their respective homes while continuing to be silent.
Can't believe that someone as great as Leo would leave them at such a young age.
He is survived by his second wife, Reina, and their two children, Stella and Marcus.
In the distance, the figure of a woman with long purplish black hair seemed to be leaning against a tree. His clothes were a military uniform of a man with a sword with a black sheath hanging on the side of his waist.
Reina immediately asks Stella and Marcus to go home first. Leaving him alone to speak four eyes with Feris.
"I'm so sorry about Leo's departure, Reina." The woman's words were none other than Feris.
"Miss Ferris, thank you for bothering to come here." Reply Reina with a thin smile and reddened eyes.
After a moment of silence, Feris appears to give a letter with a royal emblem on it.
Staying with his trademark sharp gaze, Feris spoke again.
"Based on all the information I've gathered from the Elves who are displaced in this city, as well as the sources of information from Alex, Brian, and Amelia, as well, I knew who Leo and Selene were up against at the time.
It also included information from Roselia about the huge blue fire explosion. You interested?" Clearly Feris was at length while thrusting the letter to Reina.
Reina was only silent for a moment, staring at the envelope intently.
After a few seconds, his gaze returned towards Feris.
"Tell me." Reina's reply was brief.
"I explained the details in this letter. But in essence, the two men had fought one of the 4 main higher-ups from Valkazar. The explosion was a suicide magic. I firmly believe that the Minotaur Devil died at that very instant along with the explosion."
Reina's eyes began to be shocked at the reality she had heard. He had no idea that what Leo and Selene were up against was something that big.
After pausing for a moment, Feris then continued his words.
"Reina's. What I'm trying to say is, Leo's sacrifice was truly extraordinary. And a great advance in our struggle as heroes.
Not a single hero could win against one of the 4 Valkazar higher-ups, not even from the previous 3,000 heroes. Leo and Selene did it. It's a great achievement that we won't waste."
Feris's long explanation only made Reina more and more reminded of the two people's figure.
Especially the figure of Leo who was always kind to him, Selene funds who always respected Reina no matter what.
Without Reina noticing, tears flowed back down her cheeks. He still can not leave all his memories with Leo and Selene after all this time with them both.
What's more....
But just as Reina was trying to hold back her cries, Feris' hands immediately patted her on the shoulder. Trying to calm him down.
Not with a bunch of nonsense.
But nevertheless....
"Reina's. This time, we will put an end to the oppression of Satan in this world for good. And with the Crystalcourt Elf race now with us, as well as the Dwarf race currently in the process of negotiation, we can do it.
With this new plan that I have put together, our chances of victory are huge. Of course, I will die immediately after this plan is executed.
But Reina, the human race right now needs your strength. Are you willing to die for mankind?" Feris asked with a gaze that showed absolutely no doubt in it.
After calming himself back down, Reina replied firmly.
"As long as Leo's sacrifice is not in vain.... I'd do anything. Tell me, what am I supposed to do?"
"I explained everything in the letter. Then I'll see you later. Greetings to Stella and little Marcus."
With that reply, Feris immediately stepped away. Back in the carriage that had been waiting for me.
A new chapter in the story of humanity....
No. gabe. The story of Egalathia's world opens. A chapter with diverse conflicts in different parts of the world just for one purpose.
It is to free yourself from the oppression of the Devil race.
