231 Chapter 231 - Chance Encounter

In the form of an owl, Elder Safran descended from the sky and landed in a forest bordering Norland.

After traveling for twelve days, they’ve finally reached Norland’s border. Elder Safran decided for the group to rest and reorganize themselves before entering Norland.

“Unbelievable.”

Priestess Oranka transformed back into her humanoid appearance from that of a purely white owl and descended onto the ground. The very instant she stepped foot onto Norland’s soil, she let out a gasp of exclamation.

“The Holy Tree Narushi is absorbing new nutrients… The quantity far surpassed that of the Blackwood Forest.”

Priestess Oranka arrived before Gallolei. Back when they were still in Farucci, she was already able to sense the faith energies coming from all over Farucci and gathering at Gallolei’s body to provide nourishment for the World Tree within her body.

But, the nutrients the World Tree was able to absorb back in Farucci was simply too sparse. But, upon arriving in Norland, the quantity increased many folds all of a sudden…

“Daughter of the Forest, could it be… believers of the Holy Tree Narush are present in Norland too?” In the end, Priestess Oranka voiced a question that she felt to be impossible.

“I’ve already told you that it’s a fictional story and not what I’ve experienced in the past,” Gallolei couldn’t remember how many times she has explained things to this old elven priestess.

“My apologies, I was joking with you. Daughter of the Forest… I think your decision to guide us to this city was the correct one.”

After traveling for so long, Gallolei finally saw a heart-felt smile on Oranka’s face. After all, Oranka was able to see hope from how quickly the World Tree was growing inside Gallolei.

“There’s a human village ahead. Daughter of the Forest, should we stay in the village for the night?”

Elder Safran also became very hopeful toward the future because of the World Tree’s growth.

It was not wrong to come to Norland. Elder Safran firmly believed in that. He was already looking forward to meeting the artist Gallolei spoke of.

But, Elder Safran did not relax his guard just because of that. They’ve encountered too many mishaps on their way here. They were attacked by human bandits and also encountered magic beasts hiding in the forest…

The reason why Elder Safran decided to descend in the forest near the human village was so that they could avoid those dangerous elements.

“I wish to check out that village…”

As the Blackwood Elves rarely interacted with demons, their knowledge about the demons were all from the rumors spread by the Holy Church… It was through an ancient book that Elder Safran read the details about the terrifying Sin Demons.

‘The Sin Demons are the vanguards of the demon’s invasion army. They are extremely cruel and violent. Their dark green flames could easily burn a person’s flesh to nothingness…’

Now that Elder Safran thought about it, that ancient book must be written by the Holy Church.

The Holy Church was the arch-enemy of the Blackwood Elves now. As such, Elder Safran was unwilling to believe in his arch-enemy’s declarations.

But, the outward appearance of that Sin Demon was simply too imposing.

Elder Safran did not immediately show hostility. Instead, he decided to attempt to communicate with the Sin Demon.

When Elder Safran was pondering about how to communicate with the Sin Demon, a little girl suddenly appeared on the Sin Demon’s shoulder.

Human? Elder Safran took a glance at the little girl on the Sin Demon’s shoulder. No matter how he looked at her, she looked like an ordinary human girl. There was no trace of magic power to the little girl at all.
