The Max Level Hero Strikes Back!

veryone might die if they stay here,” Madis explained.
He was keeping his composure until just a moment ago.

“That, too, is the course of nature.”

At Yuria’s frustratingly easygoing attitude, Madis let out a deep sigh.
All she did was stare out into the forest and quietly mumble, saying, “You never know, someone might save us.
The winds are energetic today; it’s a sign that we will meet someone good.”

“That’s…”

“Anyway, how is the cricket wing tea? I was pretty confident in the recipe.”

“Sputter!!” As Madis heard Yuria, he threw his dignity out the window and spat out what was in his mouth.
Then, he looked up at her with a deadpan look on his face.
He had forgotten why the elves called Yuria a psycho or the black sheep.
There was not a hint of malice in Yuria’s bright smile.

“The winds are energetic today.
It must be a precious visitor.”

Harvesting Stacks of Money!

Crunch… Crunch… There was no presence of anyone on the quiet forest trail.
Wild animals used to live in this forest, but they had been mostly eradicated as the goblins settled here.
Since Davey had cleared the goblins from this forest with the militia, the forest was nothing but silent now.

-It definitely isn’t a small forest, but it’s surprising that elves live here.

Elves were an extremely rare species because there weren’t many left in the continent to begin with.
Furthermore, since most elves went into hiding following a certain incident about three hundred years ago, most people had never seen an elf in their lives.
Some probably didn’t even know that elves existed.

It was a little better for beastfolk, orcs, and dwarves.
There weren’t a lot of beastfolk, but some kingdoms secretly hired them as warriors because of their outstanding natural physical abilities.
In addition, dwarves interacted with humans the most, because of their exceptional skills and talents.
However, it wasn’t the same for the fairies of the forest.

‘Being too outstanding at something isn’t that great either.’ Elves were a species of beauty, and they were targeted by many because of their beautiful appearance.
The reason was as simple as that, and that was why they were so difficult to find.
However, Davey noticed their presence not long after arriving here.

“Hm… I think it was here somewhere.” Davey stared into the quiet forest and picked up a pebble.
After looking around attentively, he threw it into the air.
The pebble wasn’t fast or powerful since he threw it lightly, but the mana surrounding it was quite bizarre.

Buzz! The pebble flew into the air and disappeared with a small spark.
At the same time, an eerie wind began blowing in the pebble’s direction like it was sending an alert.

Davey could feel the spirit’s power in the wind.
‘I guess that’s normal for the forest of the elves, since they live among the spirits.’

-I’m hoping we don’t meet any elves, but we could encounter some while trying to find seedlings of moon grass.

“Well, we’ll just have to keep going even if we do.” An arrow could fly toward him at any time, but Davey wasn’t going to back out in fear.
He lightly stepped over the forcefield, which was letting out a faint wave.

The forest of elves had a completely different ecosystem from regular forests; perhaps it was because the concentration of the spirit’s power was overwhelmingly different from other places.

“It really is an amazing forest.”

The forest was filled with fascinating plants and trees that could not be seen in the human realm.
The place seemed normal at first, but the surroundings turned starry and bright once Davey stepped into the forcefield.

The blue, greenery-filled forest sky glittered with mystical specks of purple light, and between them, Davey could see faint and blurry figures of some kind.
He couldn’t clearly see the spirits since he wasn’t bonded to them, but he was able to find this place because he could still feel their presence.

The spirits were free and highly curious beings.
Thanks to Davey catching a glimpse of some of them when they had come to watch him and the militia slaughter the goblins, Davey had already figured out that elves lived in this forest as well.

And piecing together Perserque’s memories and the stories about the forest of elves that he had heard from the Bow Lord Apollo, Davey believed that what he wanted was here.

-But do you think you will be able to recognize the moon flower, which has the moon grass seed? I don’t know about it that well.

“I should be able to, since Apollo would say anything once he had a drink.”

Although Davey did say that Apollo ruined the name of elves, he didn’t detest him.
The anger Davey felt while talking to him was also a mere memory.

As Davey walked with silent footsteps and looked around, he began to see animals that were not hostile toward humans.
There were elkdeers, which had gigantic antlers compared to normal deers, and fairy dragons, which were herbivores that coexisted with the spirits.

“I guess that means that it has everything it needs even though it’s a small forest.”

Davey reached out to the elkdeers that were staring at him with innocent eyes, and they began gathering and rubbing against his hand.
They were quite friendly; perhaps it was because they had interacted with elves before.

-But they should know the difference between humans and elves.
