Chapter 241
What kind of enemy could actually give them to the elves to destroy their country - so they should feel angry and unbelievable now!
The human villages that had pitied Riku and the others before were destroyed one after another.
Now the ancestors of their elven clan had even their capital destroyed by the enemy!
Destruction does not mean giving up. What kind of blow would it take for that city to become an abandoned capital? This is even more difficult for the elves to accept!
Could it be that the enemy is so powerful that even the elven ancestors feel afraid and have to hide and escape?
…
When Riku and the others arrived at the old site.
It was a unique building made of trees, but now it looks like it has collapsed and collapsed one by one.
The ugly scorch marks on them still remain, but the ruins are covered with brightly colored flowers and plants, like elegant gardens.
The sky was dyed red, and the earth was poisoned by black ash - in such a world of death, this ruined city still seems to be protected by the divine species [protection].
"[Forest God] - Kainas!" Hermitos blurted out immediately when he saw this.
During that period of war when one god led a clan, the only god who would protect the elves could be their creator, the God of the Forest!
The elves quickly thought of this guess, but their expressions were a little subtle.
Even though the book describes that the ruined city is now like a beautiful garden of flowers.
But it looks quite harsh in a city that is supposed to be a bustling capital.
Instead, it feels ironic.
Especially when they once again discovered the protection and pity of the forest gods for the forest elves, this kind of thing made the elves feel even more overwhelmed.
It's the forest god again!
This reminded them of the Goddess of Life again!
On the one hand, she is the goddess of life whom she has believed in for many years, and on the other hand, she is just the unfounded creator in the epic.
If they just believed in gods, the elves would not be much affected, and no one stipulated that they must always believe in one god from the past to the present.
But the identity of the forest god Kainas is too special.
She is not only the belief of the elves in ancient times, but also the creator of the elves!
This is the same as the difference between an adoptive mother and a biological mother.
Even the children who are now being raised by the goddess of life (adoptive mother).
After hearing that he had a biological mother, he now knew more about the whereabouts of the other party.
Except for the elves who are indifferent by nature, do most people expect more from the complex emotions of the forest god? Or more fearful and hesitant? Or is it hesitation and resistance?
…
‘As expected of the former capital of the forest elves created by the [Forest God]. ’ Riku looked at the garden in front of him and smiled mockingly.
Seeing this, the elves frowned subconsciously, but they didn't "recognize" the identity of the forest god, so they didn't say anything in the end.
Everyone continued to look behind.
Riku and Hubi walked among the burned ruins, and gradually came to the only building with the remaining prototype.
The illustrations clearly depict the surrounding ruins. Hermitos frowned when he noticed the words 'burning and destruction' mentioned many times in the book.
"——Is this the library?" Riku asked Hubie.
"...Probably...equivalent to that type of facility...compared to the damage in the city...the damage here is slight..."
That means - when attacked by [the enemy], this is also the building that gives priority to defense.
What can be predicted is an evacuation facility, some kind of research facility, or a storage facility.
"...I see, this is [probably] a library or something like that."
A place like that is definitely a secret among the elves.
Um? confidential?
Seeing that the elves were a little anxious, they couldn't sit still.
Although I really like Riku, Shubi and the others, as well as the humans who survived through perseverance at that time.
But this doesn't mean they can accept Riku and the others peeking into the secrets of their elf ancestors!
‘There shouldn’t be any important messages left! Now that it is an abandoned capital! And it’s impossible for Riku to understand the language of elves—that Ex-Machina... Hubi shouldn’t have analyzed the language of elves, right? ’
The elves who felt uneasy and anxious subconsciously thought.
However--
Just when they were thinking about this.
Riku picked up the remaining pieces of paper and damaged books on the ground.
I took a photo of the book and then opened it and read it carefully as if nothing had happened.
The elves were stunned——
...?
…………?
………………! ! !
Chapter 375 Riku and Sora: Don’t underestimate humans!
"He... Riku understands our Elvish language?!"
After saying this, some elves still couldn't believe it.
What?
What the hell is going on!
Riku is a human!
During the war, when it was extremely difficult to survive, why could he, as a human, learn Elvish?
Confused and puzzled!
When the elves saw this, they asked frantically in their hearts.
A trace of luck could not help but arise deep in their hearts - maybe Riku was just flipping through it randomly!
——Can’t understand. He must not understand it! How could humans possibly understand the profundity of their elven language.
"...Can Riku understand Elvish...?" Hubie in the book asked at this time.
Seeing Hubie asking the question they most wanted to know, the elves suddenly became nervous.
However, Riku's next answer was not gentle at all to the elves, but seemed a bit 'cruel'!
"Goblin, Elves, Elf, Goblins, Orcs—which language do you want me to answer in?"
With a calm attitude.
Hearing Riku's nonchalant reply, Hubie's eyes widened in surprise.
...At this moment, Hermitos and the others were shocked and speechless. All the doubting voices seemed to be stuck in his throat... suffocated.
Goblin language... forest elf language, elf language...
And...orc language...?
Ahem!
Everyone's mood at this time can no longer be described as simple surprise.
As a human, Riku not only learned the languages of other races, but also mastered so many languages?
——What a terrifying learning ability this is!
The most important thing is that he even learned the language of the demon species - that kind of monster. I even learned the language of monsters! !
... Those words spoken with a calm attitude, those words that sounded very arrogant but convincing.
At this moment... an unparalleled sense of shock attacks everyone's brains!
"powerful!"
Facing Riku, those who barely mastered two or more ethnic languages had some doubts about life.
Their language learning abilities, which they were proud of, were completely incomparable to Riku's.
Think about it: During the war, Riku had to lead people to run around outside for survival.
Riku should have less time to study!
However, under such circumstances, under such a scarcity of book resources, Riku still mastered so many languages.
‘...Could he also be a “mecha” in disguise? ’ People can’t help but make wild and absurd guesses.
That learning ability that is comparable to that of an Ex-Machina and that shakes the world makes everyone who sees it kneel down!
…
"...Why do you study so much...?" Hubie continued to ask.
She didn't question the authenticity of Riku's words, she just asked in confusion.
"Otherwise, you won't be able to survive. The hard-earned information is worthless if you can't understand it." With a stern look on his face that was different from anger and hatred, Riku continued to answer.
——Hubi knew Riku’s expression——that look.
That was the look in Riku's eyes when he really wanted to defeat Hubie at chess.
…
[——Humanity has not just continued to be ravaged forever. Human beings rely on oral transmission, written records, and all imaginable methods to continuously pass on the characteristics, languages, and even habits of other races to this day. 】
A passage that suddenly appeared explained why Riku knew so many languages.
Then--
Claire, the little princess, and other human book fans were slightly startled when they saw this.
Even the elves who had been slapped in the face before could not help but look askance at these words.
"Inherited...inherited?" Hermitos opened his eyes in surprise.
Immediately afterwards——
People's, elves', gods'...their doubts.
All are answered in the following words.
'The black eyes that do not reflect any emotion are telling the fate of human beings who can only flee for their lives in a fragile way.
But hidden deep in those eyes is the opposite will - and that's what Hubie wants to know.
Riku's [Heart] roared - Don't underestimate humans. ’
"...Ah...Riku, Riku..."
The [Detection] ability is naturally stronger than that of Hubi. Hearing Hubi's call, Riku raised his head——
…
"Don't... look down upon... humans...?" the little princess murmured softly, eyes widening.
This sentence is not complicated to understand.
Just like the literal meaning - don't underestimate human beings! Don’t underestimate human possibilities!
It's just that, it's not to prove how much priority humans have, it's just a word from the heart.
See words like that.
...Why do I feel a faint sensation of heat flowing through my chest?
The little princess put her little hand on her left chest and felt the clear heartbeat, as if the whole world was excited and cheering for those words!
——Riku.
His tenacity is contagious.
Everyone who was touched by it seemed to have a slight crack in the strong inner shackles of their unspeakable anger towards the gods.
