Return of the Class 8 Mage
57. Fairy queen (2)

The area was full of giant trees and flowers.

Thousands of their nests are decorated with jewels.

It was a scene within the protective shield and the field of illusion.

It's like a natural paradise.

(Human, how did you find us?)

Countless mature elves gathered at the place where the protective shield was located. They were still no bigger than one's palm, but every adult elf was of the same level as a grade-3 mage.

(In response.)

Elves have no special language because they communicate through the mind. To Ian, they sounded like royalty. But to them, Ian's words sounded like a language they could understand. But still, they have their own letters.

"By the way, I came here to meet the Fairy Queen."

(Our queen?)

According to Ian's research in his previous life, it was better to communicate with the Elves in a simple and straightforward manner. If you try to show respect and speak formally to them, it will confuse their communication instead.

"I want to trade something for this gem."

(......!)

For a moment, the eyes of the Elves glanced at the astonishment. It was a natural response. They can be satisfied spiritually just by seeing and touching beautiful jewels.

'This is the only joy they can look for'

Although Elves had a female-like body with clean, white wings, which looked like angels, the reason why they liked gems was not that innocent.

"It's like sexual arousal for them."

(TN1F: WHOA. That breaks all the fairy stereotypes I know.

Each fairy has the body of a woman, and they are not related*** to reproduce. For them, gems are the only method that can satisfy their spirits and reduce their stress. The more perfect the gem was, the more excited they were.

(What kind of trading for gems ...?)

"I have more than 10 times the number of gems I carry. Depending on the result, I can give you most."

The gems that Ian had brought from the ruins of the old Ivory Tower were of course extremely precious in the human world. They were more perfect than gems made by a famous master. However, in the Fairy's perspective, it was more than that. Their rank was equal to or higher than 'Queen's Gem', which only 'Even Queen' could possess'. And this strange man says that he has 10 times more than this.

(What do you want?)

"I want to speak directly to the Fairy Queen."

Ian still didn't bend his will.

(So I asked you. I am the Queen of the Elves.)

The fairy who kept talking to Ian had now introduced herself as the 'Queen of Elves'. He introduced himself quite proudly as if he was a great secret revealed, but honestly, Ian had known his identity long ago. He was just playing with them.

'Who could miss it?'

He instantly recognized her not only because he had seen her in his previous life, but also because he had unique pink wings, not white wings. He can't miss her.

"It was an honor for me to meet the Fairy Queen."

(Yes. I'll ask first. Are you really Human?)

"Yes, right. I'm a Human."

(Interesting, you have more mana than any other human being.)

The Fairy Queen's astonishment was natural.

Ian is as strong as he is.

"He was scared in my previous life too."

In his previous life, Ian first met the Fairy Queen after he reached the 7th grade master. At that moment, he reacted much more dramatically. He almost confused her with another entity he knew.

- Lord Lysis Laden Zu? N, there's no way. he can't.....

He clearly said that at the time. In the hope that it could become the name of the Dragon, Ian asked her a lot of things, but she did not answer about the name at all.

(You're not a normal human being, I can see it. I can't feel the evil aura from you either. Goody. I won't ask how you know about us or how you found this place. However, speak. What the hell are you doing? want that jewel?)

The Fairy Queen asked Ian sharply.

She flapped her baby pink wings.

She looks like a beautiful butterfly.

(If you don't answer honestly, you'll die.)

It's not an empty threat. If the Elves focused their attacks on Ian, it would threaten Ian's life. Although she was certain of escaping, the Fairy Queen was confident she could kill him.

"As I said, I'd like to exchange something with you, Fairy Queen. What I can offer is the best gems, more than the gems in this bag."

With Ian's offer, the Fairy Queen drooled on it, as well as the other Elves nearby. The gem that Ian brought had such power.

(TN1F: If you think about it humanly, it's like Ian just brought along a bag of the best men/women to trade.

(You definitely want to accept something as a trade.)

"Indeed."

Ian wanted two things.

"First, do you have a special way to move a large number of gems at a time? I couldn't bring them all, so I only brought a small portion of them. But to complete this trade successfully, I guess we need some other method to move it."

The special method Ian had expected was 'Inventory Interdimensional'. Ian already knew that Fairy had some 'Interdimensional Availability'. However, he would look suspicious if he asked for it directly.

(TN1F: Already confirmed... the True MC is a Fairy.).

(For that one, you don't have to worry. Not even a mountain of gems would be a problem. Keep talking.)

"All I want are two things. The first is the method of transportation. If it's something that can be left to me, I want his method."

(Nothing is difficult. What's next?)

"Egg Fairy."

(What? Did I hear wrong.).

"You didn't hear wrong. Egg Fairy."

The Fairy Queen accepted the first offer easily. However, for the second offer, he did not do so. Just like the other Elves. They suddenly looked at Ian differently. A murderous aura was released from their small bodies.

(You dare ask for it. Shy Man.)

It was a natural response. Fairy species suffer the most when laying eggs. Even normal animals would desperately protect their babies and eggs, as would Elves.

"I know how this gem affects your tribe. If you ask me how I know it, I would say that I read it from ancient records. So I suggest to you. Ten times more than the gems in this bag. It was enough to give one jewel to each Fairy."

Giving gems with the best level value to each Fairy, which was something only the Queen had, meant a lot to them.

"Please consider carefully. Each Fairy will be spiritually satisfied more than ever in your history. The pain of laying eggs will be greatly reduced. Naturally, it would increase the length of life, the strength of each Fairy, and the number of your tribe. , wouldn't it?"

Ian's right.

The Fairy Queen thought the same.

It would bring a golden age of history to them.

(You know too much about our tribe. What ancient records teach you this?)

"I am the Archmage of the Greenriver Empire. They have many records that are over hundreds of years old, and I have the authority to read them."

(Hm.)

The Fairy Queen seemed to be becoming a little calmer. As he flew around Ian, he looked at him closely. The fresh scent of spring surrounded Ian.

(Well, let's hear it. Why do you need eggs from our tribe? If you dare try experimenting with ...).

"I'll hatch it and raise it."

(Why?)

A Man dares to raise an Fairy? To the Elves, it was beyond their common sense. However, the Fairy Queen did not answer him. He let Ian continue to talk.

“I need a strong ally who can protect my family. Humans are hard to believe. To make loyal and trustworthy allies, it is better to raise them early, but as you know humans grow slowly. There is also no guarantee that they will become strong after adulthood."

(You speak as if you are not Human.)

"As you know, I'm a special person."

(And you are full of yourself.)

The Fairy Queen smiled.

His smile was the scent of his body.

(So, you're going to pick it up and try to be the parent?)

"I'll teach him magic myself. Of course, I will treat him very well. I'm a pretty rich man among human societies."

The Fairy Queen must acknowledge Ian's superior magical talent. To be honest, he was confused when he saw her for the first time. If he were a little stronger, he would mistake him for a 'different being' and not a Human.

"Humans live no more than a few decades. After I die, the Fairy will be free to return to her nest. I promise to keep my promise before I die. I'll grow a great warrior for your tribe."

Ian understood this point.

Elves lived for many more years that even humans could not imagine.

Its duration can be called 'foreign studies' for them.

(I understand what you're saying.)

After considering, the Fairy Queen swung her wings. Every time he swung his wings, the falling 'Dust Fairy' shone like a diamond.

(Although I can't give you a straight answer, I can think of it while checking if you really have enough gems for our trades.)

He explained indirectly, but the point was simple.

He wanted to see the jewels with the naked eye.

"It's a little far from here."

(How long?)

"It won't take me much days."

(Not for me.)

Fairy is a great aviator, especially the Fairy Queen's flight which can be as fast as Ian's best flight speed.

(I better check it out myself.)

That was very unexpected advice.

He's considering it a lot.

He is in charge of his tribe.

(Can I?)

"Not everything."

(Good.)

The Fairy Queen decided quickly.

The fairy started making noise. It's been a long time since the Elves went out. Even they could not remember their last trip clearly.

(My queen, but last time was an outsider.).

(Don't worry. That won't happen again.)

(How can you trust the promise of the Man?)

(He did surpass the level of a Human, but he wasn't strong enough to hide his evil aura from me. It's different from the last one, believe me.)

After some debate, or rather, after the Fairy Queen calmed down any Fairy worries, she flew back to Ian.

(Lead way. I will follow.)

Ian thought that he wanted to confirm, but not to the extent of following him.

Anyway, it wasn't a bad start.

"I still have time."

Ian must get the egg before the Tower Lord and Ragnar arrive at the Royal Palace. After a short calculation, he still had time.

"Let's go then."

With Ian's eloquent flying skills, the Elves looked surprised. Only the Fairy Queen followed him quickly with an uninterested face, while making some complex flying moves to show off her superior flying skills.

(TN1F: Jeez.. Fairy Queen tsundere??)

Including Ian's previous life, this was the third time he had visited the basement of the Ivory Tower ruins. However, this time he had an escort. The mighty Fairy Queen, who was equivalent to about a grade-6 mage.

(This is an uncomfortable place.)

He had repeated the words 'uncomfortable place' more than ten times. Since he had left his nest, he kept saying that. It seems like he hates the human world a lot.

"You'll feel better soon."

(Huh, are you sure there are gems in this place?)

"Finally, the precious treasures in the Human world are usually hidden in places worse than this. It's a pretty good place compared to them."

Ian answered philosophically, but the Fairy Queen did not understand his point. Actually, he doesn't even care about that.

"This way."

Ian and the Fairy Queen had arrived at the very bottom floor where the Dragon chant was 5 years ago.

"This. If you look down at this table,"

Ian opened the big drawer wide.

It was quite heavy, so he received help from nowhere.

*scree!*

With a loud noise, the first drawer opened.

A total of three drawers were filled with gems.

* Screen! The screeneeee!*

Ian had opened the other drawers as well.

It was truly the perfect jewel party.

There will be no Elves who can stand still.

"How about this? Now how do you feel?"

(H, Human.)

"Rubber......"

(That's not the case!)

Unexpectedly, she did not look into the drawer where the jewelry was located. Instead, he looked at the table, where the Dragon Songbook should be. He asked in an urgent voice.

(A, what was here before?)

"What?"

(I'm asking you what was here before!)

Suddenly, Ian narrowed his eyes.

Did he feel the aura of the Dragon Song Scripture?

"There's a book."

(Book?)

"It was full of letters that I had never seen before. I kept it safe. But I don't have it now."

Ian answered innocently. He spoke some of the truth, but he did not say he knew his identity. He tried to interrogate her.

"Do you know anything about the book? I've researched, but I can't understand a single letter from him."

(Of course! How dare a Man try to understand the master's work...!).

The Fairy Queen quickly closed her mouth.

Now, Ian can be sure about that.

There is a connection between him and the creature, a creature of legend, but a creature that has proven that it really did exist with Ian's time-spinning success.

'Dragon and Fairy, huh?'

The fairy tribe must have had some connection with the Dragons, or they used to. Perhaps this could help Ian research more about Dragon chanting.

(Stop, stop reading that book. You won't even be able to read a single letter.)

"But maybe I can read at least one, right?"

(You speak stupidly. There were only a few existences allowed to read those words. Since you were born a mere Man, there is no way you can read it.)
