Vol 4: Chapter 44
After that, Asha and I had a discussion with the chieftain and Knock-san.
They will obey Asha. Apparently, this is a decision that has been passed down from generation to generation. The perishing of the elven race was such a grave event for them.
The dark elves numbered 215, which was far less than that of dragonewts and underground humans.
Their fertility is probably low. On the contrary, they have a very long lifespan. The chieftain was 760 years old, though he only looked 40 years old.
「What’s wrong, Reiji-san?」
「Ah, no…」
I unintentionally peered at Asha. She was 14 years old, the sa age as . But I thought that might just be referring to her “appearance age”.
Even in this world, it is taboo to ask won about their age.
「By the way, do you know anything about the “Covenant”?」I asked the chieftain.
「Of course. I’ll tell you if you want to know.」
The Covenant passed down to the Dark Elf race goes like this:
『Pledgee’s Covenant』
-Those who bind the Covenant are those who stand at the top of the race.
-The pledgee preserves the Covenant.
-The revocation of the Covenant is made by declaring it to the diator.
「I see……」
This article is related to the pledgee and the revocation, huh.
If mory serves right, the Dragonewt’s Covenant was about the structure of the Covenant. Even with【World Ruler】, my mory was getting hazy. It must be a power related to the Covenant, or perhaps limitations of it.
The Covenant consists of “skill orb”, “pledgee”, and “diator.”
If the Dark elf’s article is the “Pledgee’s Covenant”, does that an that there is also a “Skill Orb’s Covenant” and a “diator’s Covenant”?
No, I already know the “Skill Orb’s Covenant”. It was transmitted to the High Elves.
「Asha. The Covenant passed down to the High Elf royal family was the “Skill Orb’s Covenant”, right?」
「Yes.」
Asha recited from mory:
『Skill Orb’s Covenant』
-Do not take too many skill orbs.
-Skill orbs make up the world.
If so, there should be a “diator’s Covenant” sowhere.
That would be four articles. There are 8 articles in all, so it’s only half.
Wasn’t there ntion of the revocation of the Covenant in the Kruvan Holy Kingdom when I fought the diator?
The high priest, El-san said:
–Eh, if the Covenant that connects this world to the Back World is revoked, many dark ones will invade this world.
The “dark ones”… Was he referring to the monsters in the Back World?
In other words… Will the two worlds be connected?
「What are you thinking, Reiji-san?」
「I was thinking even if we take the Dark Elves to the Front World, it would be better not to connect this world with that world…」
The monsters in the “Back World” are much more powerful than the “Front World”. If the two worlds beco connected, the races in the “Front World” may face the sa fate as the races in the “Back World”.
「Of course, we will follow you! Right, Knock?」
「Yes! We will follow you to the ends of the world!」
Stop saying stuff like that each and every ti… And now, they started doing push ups.
「Speaking of the Covenant…」
The chief stopped in the middle of his push-ups, and looked up at .
「Hey, Knock. What was that skill orb that Punta found?」
「Ah, right. That skill orb was… umm…」
Similarly, Knock-san tried to recollect his mories in the middle of his push-ups.
「I think it was a skill orb with a na similar to a Covenant…」
A skill orb with the na similar to a Covenant?
Skill Orb nas should be related to its enhancent and skill…
My mind was blown away by Knock-san’s following words.
「–At any rate, it was a 12-star skill orb. It wasn’t usable, so Punta didn’t bring it back ho.」
**
The dark elf nad Punta was an outlier individual in this race.
He had a huge belly like a water balloon. It bounced whenever he moved.
His cheeks were almost sagging, and seed reflective as if they were painted with honey.
Under his swollen eyelids, his timid, narrow eyes were terribly frightened when Knock-san appeared before him
「Punta. I have sothing to talk about.」
「Eek!!! P-Please let go. It’s impossible. I can’t do push-ups 5,000 tis and sit-ups 10,000 tis!」
He flew to the back of his narrow hut, and crouched in a corner while grabbing his short natural perm hair in both hands.
「It’s not impossible. You either do the training or you don’t. When you give up, your muscles will break down. As long as you’re training them, your muscles–」
「Umm, Knock-san…」
If left alone, the muscle discussions will continue endlessly, so I stopped him at the earliest possible stage.
「Oh, right. Punta, our guest has sothing to ask you about.」
「?」
「Didn’t I tell you I ca here to talk at the start?」
It would be troubleso if Punta starts prostrating when he sees Asha, so I ca here alone.
Punta turned his round, cherubic face to .
「I heard that you found a 12-star skill orb.」I said.
「Ah… about that. I am rarely taken to the hunting ground, but I happened to be taken on that day.」
The hunting ground is said to be the place where the dark elves discover skill orbs.
It would be around the area of the Holy City in the “Front World”.
It seems that 10 to 20 skill orbs are found together in one spot. And it is their job to find those and bring them back ho. In addition, hunting monsters and procuring at is considered the side objective while making a run to the hunting grounds.
It seems to be “unknown” why 10 to 20 skill orbs are found placed in one spot. Moreover, such occurrences were only found in the last few decades.
As a result, it seems that the underground people also found these skill orbs, and the dark elves often co into contact and fight with them–but that is besides the point.
「One of the skill orbs was on the ground away from the rest. But it was a 12-star skill orb, so I thought nobody would “want” it since it’s unusable.」
「Want, huh…」
「There was a lot of prey on that day. And I was allured by the at. So I decided to bring back at instead–but I was curious about the skill orb and hid it away.」
「Does that an the skill orb is still there?」
「No, it isn’t.」
「Huh?」
「I moved it to another place…」
I saw Punta-san fidgeting with his hands and worriedly glancing at Knock-san.
「…Knock-san, Punta-san seems to want to say sothing, but he seems worried because of you.」
「Worried? Why?」
「Well, uh… maybe you’ll get angry?」
「I won’t know if I’ll get angry or not until I hear it!!」
「Eek!」
Once again, Punta-san trembled while holding his head, so I gestured to Knock-san to “go out” with my hand.
Although Knock-san had a grumpy face, he seed to understand we would make no progress this way and stepped out.
(I wonder if Knock-san doesn’t understand that not everyone is fond of extre physical training and not everyone has an athletic temperant.)
I recalled Kimidori Gorn-san from Dragonewt City.
Kimidori Gorn-san could not beco accustod to the unspoken rule that a dragonewt must live for the benefit of the society and the city. That is why he refused to hunt, and escaped to conduct research in the holiday house.
(But still, Kimidori Gorn-san worked hard to find sothing he is good at for everyone’s benefit.)
Kimidori Gorn-san displayed his special strength with the prototype he built before we left Dragonewt City.
I’m sure Punta-san can also find sothing he is good at.
「Punta-san, it’s okay. Knock-san went out.」
「R-Really…?」
He looked up at , still trembling.
「Where did you move the skill orb to? And can you tell the exact na of the skill orb?」
「Y-Yes…」
Punta-san looked out of the hut, saw Knock-san doing jumping squats on a distant branch, and grimaced.
「…That skill orb was shining in various colors such as red and green.」
Various colors…. It’s a type I’ve never seen before. There is no doubt it is a unique-characteristic skill orb.
「The na is…【World Alliance ★★★★★★★★★★★★】.」
