A black landscape spread out before my eyes. You may wonder what I am talking about, but I can only describe it as a black landscape.
The journey to this place was a very pleasant one. Soaring high into the sky on the wings of Geneva, we crossed the Mazpis Mountains with ease. Below us, the ice mountains shone like mirrors in the sunlight, a beautiful sight. Sidney and I both let out a sigh of relief as we held onto Jeneha's legs. Naturally, Princess ek, who was riding on her back, was also excited at the sight.
But beyond the mountains, a huge mountain that seed to cover the sky ca into view. As it gradually drew nearer, we naturally began to talk less and less.
The top of the mountain was covered with a pure white snow-like substance, but when we looked at the foot of the mountain, it was a pitch-black color. The shape of the mountain is more like a huge building than a mountain. It was truly a precipitous cliff, a sheer mountain stretching vertically toward the sky.
What was even more surprising was that when we landed at the foot of the mountain, it looked like a huge roof. I found out that the mountain is apparently shaped like an inverted triangular pyramid. The mountain spreads out toward the summit. ......
......What a mountain!
I let out a yelp. Siddee is touching the slope of the pitch-black mountain.
"This has been artificially cut down, hasn't it?
"What?"
This mountain is made of fairly hard bedrock. That seems to be the reason why this mountain has not collapsed. Still, it must have taken a lot of work to break ...... it down this far. ......"
Sadie shakes her head in admiration and dismay. I was told that great care was taken when cutting the bedrock at the foot of the mountain, and that it was done under careful calculation to prevent the mountain from collapsing.
As I listen to her talk, I turn my attention to Princess ek. She is riding on Geneha's back and looking around.
Hey ek, when you left the elf village, how did you get to the foot of the mountain?
"...... don't rember."
"......"
He told that he found himself with Hayes, and that they did not travel in a snowstorm, nor did they shiver from the cold. His mories of the elven village where he grew up as a child are vague. He rembers his father's and mother's faces, but he has almost no mories of those days. The only thing she rembers is that she was with Hayes when suddenly soone stepped in and she found herself locked up in a room, and that so ti later, Hayes appeared and took her out again.
"You don't rember what happened when he took you out?"
"I found myself in Hayes' room."
"...... I see. You an you've been transferred. So you can use magic in the elven village?
I put my hand on my chin and think.
"Yes, Master Linos! Master Linos has the skill to sense the other party's magic and transfer it. If you can use it, you won't have to go all the way up this mountain!
Sadie opens her mouth with a look of satisfaction on her face. He said what I was thinking before I said it. I just don't know what kind of magic the elves have. While I'm thinking about this, Sidhee cos up to and talks to .
"Master Linos, do you think that I don't know what kind of magic the elves have? That's easy. Just refer to the magic of Princess ek there.
...... Oh, I see. That's my girl. You know exactly what I'm thinking. I am so glad that I pushed Geneva to bring this person here. Her skills are encouraging, but at the sa ti, a little scary. I vow once again that I will never do anything I feel guilty about. I will never cheat on my wife. I will live my life loving only my wives.
"That's right. That's all I have to do.
Sadie is nodding her head. I wonder if she read my mind right now: ....... No, no way. I'll take that as a coincidence.
With this in mind, I walk up to ek and put my hand on her head.
"......"
"...... quickly move your hands away. You'll ss up your hair."
"Sorry."
I rembered that Sadie had once been angry with . That was when we were newlyweds. On a whim, I nudged her head and she gave a very sad look. She said that she was trying hard to set her head so that people would see her as a pretty woman. Please don't touch her without asking because it will ruin the set. ....... I rember that he told so. I slowly remove my hand from her head.
"Okay, I got the gist."
Then I put my hands on the ground and inject magic power into them.
"......"
I'm injecting quite a bit of magic, but I don't feel the sa magic as ek. On the contrary, I do not feel any sign of life in this mountain range. What is the aning of this?
"Phew. ......"
I stop the infusion of magic power and look up to the heavens. I could have continued to do so, but sohow I felt that this would not work.
"Rinos-sama, ...... are you all right?"
Sadie calls out to with concern. I assure her with my hand that everything is fine and turn my attention to her.
"It's a little tricky. I don't feel any magic, or even any sign of life. I'm starting to wonder if there really are elves in these mountains, or even if there are.
"Hmmm."
Sadie put her index finger under her chin and struck a pensive pose. Her eyes move slowly from side to side. It's as if she's thinking of a joke in
