Episode 228: The Peace Evangelist (5)

“What I showed you yesterday.”

Galen spoke strangely. Shamita, who understood immediately, asked again to confirm.

“Is this a personal letter?”

“yes.”

With the work that had piled up while she was away, and the new work that had been added because of the vampires and the Gaunts, Shamita had to run around like crazy for over two weeks.

I finally finished it and went back to find Galen and Lilia, only to find out that they had also dealt with the Protein family. I was dumbfounded.

There was no way Galen wouldn’t believe it when he showed me a personal letter written by the head of the household and stamped with the family seal, stating that they would not expand any further. We’ll have to wait and see if they keep their promises, but at least the most intelligent one made a promise with his name on the line.

“There’s no way they would just give that up to Protein.”

“… So you broke down the front door and came in? Really?”

“I went and gave him a few beatings.”

“Is that okay? I didn’t mean to get you hurt while trying to do my favor… … .”

“Don’t worry! It’s been resolved!”

Lilia spoke brightly to the concerned Shamita. Galen nodded and added.

“As for force, we are obviously superior, and we are the ones who have the legitimacy, so we cannot raise an issue with something like that.”

“Then that’s good.”

“In other words, Lilia?”

Galen gently pinched Lilia’s soft cheek.

“You shouldn’t get into the habit of breaking down the front door for no reason.”

“Nooooooo.”

“Typhon is different from Protein.”

“I’m sorry.”

The Brave Mercenaries were employed by the Amino family, and the Amino family was under the control of the Protein family, so if they pushed through, they could be framed for joining hands with the devil and sent away. The reason Judith gave in so easily was not simply because she was afraid of Galen’s power, but because of such circumstances.

On the other hand, the Typhon family was not directly involved with the Demon Sect, so breaking down the gate and entering would only give them an excuse to complain. It was necessary to consider another method.

Galen, who had lightly scolded Lilia, straightened his collar. Tenebrae, who had been sleeping under the hood of his robe as usual, woke up.

“A black kitten crawled out of the hood and wriggled around on Galen’s shoulder,” Galen whispered, stroking its head with his index finger.

“Please bring me a book.”

The pitch-black primordial spirit yawned and slid down Galen’s arm. The cat flew away and rummaged through the bag before returning with a book in its mouth.

A booklet containing detailed information on the power trends in the plateau, received from the Tamaka branch at the top of Kalia.

As a result of the branch manager’s excessive loyalty, the book was overflowing with unnecessary content, so I didn’t read it thoroughly, and only focused on the parts related to the Protein family.

This time I read the part related to the Typhon family. Lilia also quietly followed along and peeked her head out.

“Hmm… … .”

Galen opened his mouth, drawing a rough picture in his head.

“Shamita, is it true that the western part of the plateau is relatively calm?”

“Compared to the East. Of course, it cannot be said to be absolutely peaceful, but the frequency of conflict is definitely less than in the East.”

“You said that it hasn’t been that long since the existing conflict escalated so much?”

“okay.”

“I see that it hasn’t even been ten years since Judith became a jewel. Perhaps she just evolved from a prestigious family to a jewel-owning prestigious family, and she gained a lot of confidence and became aggressive.”

“That was such a trivial reason… If that was the only reason for your aggression, then I should have just revealed my presence and pressured you from the beginning.”

Could it be said that it was the result of the arrogance of humans who did not properly understand the power of the Sky Fairies, and the mistake of the Sky Fairies who did not properly understand the way humans think and just let it go? The Demonic Cult happened to exploit that gap.

“Anyway, by comparison, the Typhon family’s jewel has been retired for quite some time.”

“Since the jewels are not active on the front lines, is it that the family’s desire for expansion has been relatively quiet?”

“That’s right. Of course, it’s not often that a jewel actually stands on the battlefield, but the weight given to someone who can step forward when the time comes and someone who has retired is bound to be different.”

“Then it would be easier to persuade them! They were originally reluctant to expand, so they would be less resistant if I told them not to do it, right?”

“Yes. All I have to do is convince the jewels. Lilia’s reputation is too valuable to be countered with just a few gold coins.”

Galen chuckled as he tapped his finger on a section of the booklet, specifically the section listing the key figures of House Typhon.

“Well, since Jewel seems like a pretty fun person… I guess we can have some fun.”

“You seem a lot more excited than when you were a protein person?”

Lilia, who was laughing bashfully, whispered in Galen’s ear.

“Is that because you’re a wizard?”

“You know very well.”

The two great families of the plateau, the Proteins in the east and the Typhons in the west.

Protein was a noble family of warriors.

Typhon was from a prestigious family of wizards.

* * *

The plateau is such a large area, covering almost half of the northwest, that moving from east to west across the plateau was virtually the same as crossing the northwest.

In short, it takes a long time to begin with. It takes even longer in the middle of winter when the cold is at its peak.

In addition, the western part of the plateau was closer to the sea than the eastern part, so it was relatively wet. In other words, it snowed a lot.

After leaving Kirin, the group managed to move around for a while, but eventually had to give up on using the carriage.

It was impossible to drive a carriage through a road that was so rough that it was hard to tell whether it was a snow field or an ice rink.

“I guess there’s nothing I can do.”

Galen clicked his tongue as he parted ways with the coachman after giving him a generous amount of fare.

“I have no choice but to fly.”

“That’s easy to say.”

“I don’t think that’s something Shamita should be saying.”

“That’s not something a human should say. Where is the human who would say that flying is better than walking?”

Of course, if Galen had told her to walk, she would have hated it. Despite grumbling, Shamita wrapped herself in the power of heaven.

“Lilia, would you like to go away today? I’ll practice.”

“Okay, Unica!”

The Primal Spirit of Life, who was starting to get confused about who the owner was, gave Lilia a temporary spirit.

Before Galen summoned a temporary spirit through the spirit creation and told it to support his body.

Ts …

The magical power of the Sky Liberation, which was identical to Shamita’s, enveloped Galen first.

[Liberation of Sky Lv.31]

[31% progress to next level]

While waiting for Ernst’s reply, during the two weeks he stayed in Kirin, he trained intensively and had now entered the Baekun realm.

Shamita looked at Galen with a mixture of admiration and bewilderment. She had seen him practice while accompanying her, but this was the first time she had shown it properly.

“Galen, has it been about a month since we first met?”

“Is that so? It was the end of early winter.”

“You mean you’ve grown this much in just one month?”

“Compared to Shamita, it’s still far from enough.”

“Compared to me, yes. Compared to other people of the same species, no. Well, there is a limit to genius… … .”

The fairy was on par with the Silver Warrior in terms of pure physical ability, and was also a Silver Magician who could innately manipulate magical powers.

However, because they are born too strong, most of them stop there and do not grow any further, and only a few reach the level of gold or higher.

The magical power that Galen had just shown was of the silver level, which puts him on the same level as most sky fairies in terms of magic.

We got there in just one month, so where will we be in another month?

“Well, isn’t it true that anything progresses quickly in the beginning?”

“I don’t know if you can call Baek-eun the beginning.”

“Anyway. And unfortunately, it seems that magic cannot be perfectly imitated, just like the power of the earth.”

“It’s unfortunate for you, but fortunate for me. There’s still room for differentiation in the future.”

“Even if it were perfect, I can’t really imagine me flying around with a dagger like Shamita. Shall we talk about the rest as we go?”

“Okay.”

Two people and a fairy flew lightly into the air almost simultaneously. Shamita, who was well-versed in geography, seemed to be leading, followed by Galen and Lilia.

Shhhhhhh!

Interestingly enough, the three flying figures each had a slightly different appearance.

Shamita, who seems to be weightless and runs around, leaping and jumping. Lilia, whose body is caught and pulled by the wind. And Galen, who is a mixture of the two.

‘It’s so light that it’s actually difficult to control. Until I get used to it.’

Galen grumbled inwardly. The temporary wind spirit adjusted its power here and there according to his demands, trying to create the optimal flight conditions.

Like the relationship between the Earth Fairy and the Sky Fairy, like the names “Power of the Earth” and “Power of the Sky,” like the notation in the status window “Earth Binding” and “Sky Liberation.”

The two magics had something in common, yet were complete opposites.

What they have in common is that the way they use their magical power is in the form of a protective shield that completely envelops the entire body like a protective suit.

The difference is the nature of the shield.

The protective shield of the Earth is condensed. The magical power is endlessly gathered and gathered, and it continues to become heavier. That is why it is tied to the ground. This soon becomes a defense that is not affected even if hit.

On the contrary, the protective shield of the Sky Liberation is released. The magical power pushes everything away, making it infinitely lighter. Therefore, it is released into the sky. This soon becomes the evasion power that avoids all hits.

‘However, this is the only part I can follow.’

Perhaps the fairy’s body is somewhat linked to magic power.

The earth fairy gains incredible strength, allowing her to swing her infinitely heavy body around with ease.

The Sky Fairy gains the agility to move her infinitely lighter body freely.

However, Galen, a human, unfortunately was not provided with such a service. If he used Earth Binding, he would not be able to move his heavy body, and if he used Sky Release, he would not be able to move his lightened body.

Of course, Galen had no complaints at all, as that alone was enough.

‘It doesn’t matter since I don’t plan on running in the front anyway. Even if it’s a little imperfect, it’s still useful.’

For a wizard whose only weakness was his normal-level body, Earthbinding, which provided him with insane defensive power, was a magic as solid as noodles.

Add to that the insane evasion that comes with Sky Release, and you’re going to have to do a ton of crazy moves to really hurt Galen any time soon.

You can also take advantage of the lighter body, like you can now fly with less effort.

Whee, whhee, whhee!

The magic power of the Sky Liberation, which tries to push away everything, also tries to push away the magic power of the spirits in the surrounding wind, so the control is a little shaky, but once you get used to it, you will be able to skillfully handle even this kind of repulsive force.

It was a rare opportunity to take a long-distance flight. Flying through the midwinter winds that were swirling with snow, Galen concentrated on tuning his air release and life magic.

Half a day of flying like that.

Even though they took short breaks here and there, it wasn’t a long flight. They flew in one go a distance that would be impossible to cover even if they changed horses.

“They all came.”

Shamita said, waving her hand in front of them to instruct Galen and Lilia to slow down.

Galen could see the shape of the city through the occasional flurry of snowflakes. It was so far away that it was barely visible, but Liliana Shamita must have seen it much more clearly.

Elpheid. A large city on the western side of the plateau where Typhon’s hometown is located.

“Do you see the terrain behind the city?”

“no.”

“Not you, Galen. I mean, Lilia.”

“Is it sharp?”

“Yes. I would say it’s a split cliff rather than a mountain. That’s the representative landscape of El Feid.”

Both Galen and Lilia knew why Shamita had mentioned the scenery.

They were still moving forward, though their pace had slowed, and soon Galen began to see the familiar mountain or the split cliff.

“That must be where the jewel of the Typhon family lives.”

They flew straight through the city and stopped in midair near the cliff behind the city. Lilia heard Galen mutter.

“I thought that was what he meant when he said he was going to build a villa on a cliff and live in seclusion after leaving home… How on earth did he come up with the idea to build a house there?”

There is no need to explain the extent of the eccentricity, as even Lilia was embarrassed.

It is not just a rugged mountain, but a cliff that stands tall like a giant stone pillar, separated from the mountain range.

A house was built high on top of that cliff that ordinary people would never dare climb. It wasn’t just a shabby shack, it was a properly built mansion.

“Shall we do a little reconnaissance first?”

“Isn’t it rude to even get close to someone like that?”

“We don’t have to go ourselves.”

Galen further increased his life force. He created an additional small wind elemental, separate from the one currently supporting his body.

The scout spirit cautiously approached the mansion.

And, before you even go inside.

Pfft!

It burst out with a loud noise. Galen’s eyebrows furrowed.

[Spiral Flow Lv.??]

[Progress to next level ???%]

It seemed like the landlord’s personality wasn’t all that friendly.
