I Have Transferred to the Worst Labyrinth in Another World - Chapter 140
140 – Elves and Dark Elves – 5
“I brought whatever you want.”
-Oh, thank you.
I went back the way I came and arrived at the sanctuary of the World Tree.
As the spirit of Phrygia saw Isaac’s corpse that I had brought with me (though I couldn’t actually see it), it uttered a voice full of joy.
However.
I asked as if I was perplexed when I noticed my slender corpse being held in the arms of the princess.
-…Why did you bring that?
“A woman’s corpse?”
-That’s right.
“Isn’t it okay to bring it?”
-That’s not the case, but…
“Then there should be no problem.”
Isaac’s corpse was roughly thrown to the ground using telekinesis, while Freesia’s corpse was carefully lowered directly to the ground.
Freesia must have noticed my behavior as well, so she kept her silence.
“Here is the corpse of your husband, Phrygia.”
-…Thank you. She honestly thought she wouldn’t bring it..
“The door is heavy.”
From noble mtl dot com
-That’s the reason why she hasn’t asked Bianca for anything until now. The wind mage can’t move heavy objects, and he hates that kid.
“What daughter would like a playboy father? You must be unique.”
-…I am unusual. I just… Because my husband’s only strong point is his looks..
“You are not good at lying.”
What do you care about your appearance when you can’t see it in person and only check your opponent with your presence and energy?
Because Freesia is in love with Isaac, she only wants him to bring his body. Apart from Isaac’s looks.
“Your daughter seems very down-to-earth and intelligent. Seeing that she knows things that even her mother doesn’t.”
-…What does it mean?
“You mean literally?”
– Haa…What happened. Now that you’ve done her favor, I’ll pass on that level of rudeness.
At that moment, a branch of the World Tree protruded and embraced Isaac’s corpse.
Then they took Isaac’s body somewhere.
But…
“Aren’t you taking this body?”
-…That’s okay. As long as it’s just a shell, it’s okay to let it rot.
“Even though it’s your own corpse?”
-Did you know?
“It almost seemed like that.”
To be honest, I couldn’t help but notice it because I’d seen it countless times in the spiritual world, but I didn’t express it. Because now I’m just a simple ‘man’ to Freesia.
“So, get your corpse…”
– It’s done. Just let it go.
“Are you kidding me? In fact, isn’t it the right procedure to prioritize your own over Isaac’s corpse?”
-This is something I no longer need. From the day I decided to become a World Tree, I decided to let go of my lingering attachments to my body.
“Huh…”
I am sincere.
Freesia was genuinely uninterested in her own body. Her way of speaking, as if looking at a passing stone, made me angry, but I decided to hold back and ask.
“Why?”
-Didn’t I tell you why? From the day I decided to become a World Tree, I had already abandoned my lingering attachments to my body.
“So you’re saying it doesn’t matter what happens to this corpse?”
-That’s right.
“What if someone mutilates this body?”
-That’s right.
“Is it possible for a stranger with a peculiar taste to scare the body?”
-…I wonder if anyone has such a nasty taste, but it does.
“Ha…”
Come to think of it, Freesia became a world tree in the distant past.
She must have become numb to her own body thanks to having already lived as the World Tree for eons of time.
“Just because the body has become a tree, has the mind really become a tree?”
-I’ve never thought of it that way. Although I am a world tree, I have the pride of being an elf at heart.
“Does such a person not even care about his own body?”
-It’s true that you don’t need it. To me, that body is just a piece of flesh.
Freesia was adamant.
When Freesia was so determined, no matter what she said, she didn’t listen or accept it. In fact, when I asked her to go see her play, ‘The Wild Emperor and the Corrupt Elf Handmaiden,’ she vehemently refused.
“…Then may I take it?”
-…What?
“I will take your physical body in exchange for the magic item you are giving me as a reward. How is it?”
-…Do you have that kind of taste? I prefer a corpse to a living woman…
“Yes.”
As I agreed without wavering, Freesia’s voice was filled with bewilderment.
-I…Really?
“Yes, I can’t really have a relationship with a woman who is alive. So i’m going to take it Didn’t you say you didn’t need it?”
-That’s true, but I never thought there would be someone with that kind of taste…
“Then I understand that you gave permission?”
This was a kind of bait. Would she not be shaken even if she said that she would rape her own corpse?
The results were very dramatic.
-…….Let’s do whatever we want.
It’s crazy to do whatever you want, the voice itself trembles a lot.
You may be thinking, “It’s okay,” With reason, but it’s clear that you instinctively feel disgust.
“Is that really okay?”
-…..Yes…..
“Really?”
-…………
There was silence for a while.
She herself knows that. That the answer now will be the final choice.
“If you remain silent, I will give you an affirmative answer.”
-…..No…No.
“Yes?”
-That’s not to say. I won’t allow it.
In the end, it was Freesia who lowered her tail first.
That was also what I was aiming for.
“When didn’t you say you didn’t need it?”
-…..You are very good at making people angry. Also very.
“It can’t be. I just spoke my truth.”
-Anyway, that can’t be done. Come to think of it, it would be too dangerous to create undead with my own body.
“Is that really the reason? Actually, you don’t just hate having your own body damaged, do you?”
-………It must have been intentional and made such an absurd remark.
I was caught. Well, to be honest, I said this, but if you didn’t notice, that would be even weirder.
How can you not know when you openly ask questions many times?
“Take care of your corpse. But isn’t it the body you’ve been with for a long time?”
-…That’s right, to be honest, since I’ve become a world tree, I thought it didn’t matter much about my body. But I couldn’t stand it at all when I heard your disgusting and filthy words. It seems that I still haven’t let go of my heart as a mortal.
“That would be a good freesia.”
-…Good?
“The mind as a mortal is good. She has feelings, is honest with herself, and has the mindset of living each day to the fullest because she knows that she will die one day. Freesia should know this.”
-…..I don’t know. I really don’t know.
Freesia’s strength lies in its ‘honesty’.
To be precise, her strength is that she does not hide her confusion and doubts.
If you don’t know, you don’t know. If you know, you know. Then her candor reminds me that her soul is pure.
“Have you ever wondered what her daily routine has been since she became the World Tree?”
-…There can’t be a routine, it just repeats sleeping, waking up, sleeping and waking up. The only realm allowed to me is the sanctuary of the World Tree. Sometimes, once every few decades, welcoming the elves who visit the sanctuary is my only pleasure.
“That’s why emotions wear out. People feel at ease when they get some fresh air, take a walk, or travel.”
-…Then what do you mean? I’m already tied to the world tree…
“Can’t you put a soul back into a body?”
– Impossible. Not only do I need the world tree for the elves, but the energy of the world tree won’t let my soul leave.
Anyway, in reality, it seems that he was tied to the World Tree with half of his own will and half of coercion.
In the end, Phrygia’s original nature was not suitable for ‘sacrifice’.
If Freesia was an ordinary elf, she might have become a free woman who is true to her feelings and desires. No, it must have been that way.
That made her feel even more sorry. Freesia sacrifices herself for the race of elves.
“Then, if the world capital is all right and you can escape, will you return to your physical body then?”
-…..I don’t know. I hadn’t thought of such a thing…
“I see.”
I’m sure Freesia would act according to my thoughts if such an opportunity arises. Maybe beg me, please get me out of here.
Of course, this is just a simple ‘assumption’, and it is unknown whether it will actually be possible. If possible, her daughter, Bianca, would have tried it long ago.
Still, don’t you know?
I wonder if such an opportunity will come someday.
If that time comes…
‘What would you do if you could?’
I wish Freesia happiness. So I’ll do whatever she wants.
But what next?
Am I really simply wishing Freesia happiness?
In response to her question about whether she loves her, my conclusion is ‘I don’t know’.
I don’t know if I love Freesia or if I don’t care.
Obviously, when I saw Freesia in the spirit world, I felt something tingling in her chest and stomach, but in reality, it is not at all.
On the contrary…I don’t feel that way when I see Veronica, but I heard it.
‘… Huh?’
Come to think of it, why does Veronica have those moods and feelings when she sees her? I don’t know why, but there are times when Freesia looks overlapping.
…..Is it just a matter of my senses?
I guess so. No, that’s how it should be In fact, she herself knows how I feel for Veronica, but if Veronica noticed, she would have said something about her because of her personality.
Would you accept it or reject it?
Seeing that there’s no such thing, I’m sure Veronica…
-What would you like me to do?
“Yes?”
– It is to ask a question. What choice should i make?
At the moment, Freesia asked a question, and I was able to blow away my thoughts about Veronica.
That’s right, come to think of it, I have to think about Freesia now. What do you think…
“I… I want you to do whatever you want, Phrygia. Just as your heart leads you.”
-…Is that so?
“Yes.”
-…………..
Again there was silence.
It could be that he’s thinking about it, or maybe he’s already made up his mind but is struggling to deny it.
-…It’s a ridiculous assumption anyway, so let’s move on. First of all, you said you wouldn’t allow me to take my corpse, so I’ll give you a magic item.
“I like your body?”
-Why don’t you keep quiet before being kicked out?
“Yes.”
For a moment, Freesia’s voice was cold. It means that no more rudeness will be forgiven.
I was well aware of that, so I kept my mouth shut. It seems that it is no longer difficult to bring out the sincerity in her heart.
-Take this.
“…What is that?”
-Wind attribute It is a medium that allows you to use the [Blue Hill Wind] Magic, one of the ancient magics.
The object that settled in my hand along with Freesia’s voice was a magic item in the form of a ring. It was a ring with a silver border and a green jewel in the center, making it look quite expensive.
But this is an ancient magical medium?
-Unlike the divine magic medium, multiple items can be worn at once, so it will be of great help to you.
“Thank you. But maybe the magic effect…?”
– [Wind of the Blue Hills] Is a typical supporting magic that curses and damages enemies and heals and blesses allies. It’s just that the range is enormous and the effect itself is incomparable to normal magic.
“Ohhh…”
The effect is unexpectedly good. To be honest, I thought it would be filthy weak because it was called [Blue Hill Wind], But it seems to be a pretty good magic in reality.
I was a bit worried because some ancient magics were said to be weaker than the lowest level magic, but I guess I was unwarranted.
And
-Then it’s time to choose a new item.
The highlight is here.
The most fundamental reason I came here.
“For now, I will pass the dagger and spear.”
From noble mtl dot com
-I thought so.
Immediately give up daggers and spears that are not mediums for divine magic.
All that’s left are the 3 divine magic mediums.
‘One is a ring, one is a necklace, and one is an earring…’
I heard from Bianca that weapon-type mediators are usually the mediators of Divine Spirit magic with powerful power… Unfortunately, there are no weapons-type Divine Magic mediators left in the Elf country.
‘Earrings are inconvenient to wear… Should I use a ring or a necklace?’
By the way, I heard that Bianca doesn’t know what kind of Divinity Magic those 3 accessories allow you to use. That’s why I had no choice but to just take one by luck.
…No, wait a minute.
‘Come to think of it, isn’t there a person here that you might know?’
The person who has been guarding the Sanctuary of the World Tree since it was created is right in front of you.
No, you shouldn’t drink kimchi soup before you even hear it. The first step is to ask if Freesia is aware of the effects of the mediums.
“…Freesia?”
-Why?
“Do you know the effect of these three mediums?”
-Of course.
Freesia speaks indifferently as if it were natural.
I asked her further while firing nice shots into her heart.
“Then can you tell me the effect of each medium?”
-…Well, that much is fine.
A home run.
-However, all I can tell you is fragmentary information. Got it?
“That is enough.”
-Then I’ll explain right away. First, the item in the form of an earring is…
Freesia said.
The medium in the form of an earring is a protection magic type divine magic.
The medium in the form of a ring is an offensive magic type divine magic.
The medium in the form of a necklace is said to have a secondary magic-type deity magic, that is, a deity magic with a supporting (combat aide, production class, etc.) Effect.
-However, non-weapon-type offensive magic mediums are not very effective. So I recommend earrings or a necklace.
“Thank you, Freesia. After all, Freesia is beautiful.”
-…I don’t know why such a result came out, but thank you.
Now, it’s time to choose.
