Queen of Avalon: Adventure Solo

Chapter 15's

"There's something I want to ask you."

"What's that?"

"If you can, can you answer it at length and with full truth?" It would be better if he knew everything from now on. Elizabeth was not wasted time just listening to things she thought were unimportant.

Except for the time, I don't know how long he's been here, which must be more than an hour.

Inner says. "I hope Alexander doesn't act rashly. If he goes into my room without permission, then get ready to get a blow from me."

Under these circumstances, Elizabeth actually understood what would happen if the teachers found out about her absence.

"It seems you're thinking such a complicated thing?"

"Personal matter only." Eli.

"It seems that humans with elves aren't much different, huh? Both can worry about something, whatever it is." Erendriel paused for a moment, greeting one of the elves standing in front of a house.

He waved his hand, and lowered his head in a sign of respect to the chairman.

"Good day, chief! Have a nice day."

"Also for you," a word that he was with a wave of his hand.

Afterwards, his gaze turned to Eli and did the same to him. Eli who saw her then nodded his head, returning the elf's greeting. "Hmmm.." And they walked back.

Eli says. "Looks like you guys live safe and secure here (?) It's just my speculation."

"Don't think by looking at their smiles, we elves can live in peace and tranquility in this world. For me, the word happy is far from our lives."

"Why do you think that?" According to Eli, there's nothing to worry about for them, is there? If they needed money, they could at least mine the minerals in that cave and sell them.

Erendriel says. "In this world, there are social structures that we hold dear, where strong beings are creatures that can survive. The stronger we are then we can be at the top of the food chain." There is nothing more terrifying than having to coexist with the wild, where every eye can lurk at any time.

Slowly Eli opened his eyes, Erendriel said there was a point as well. In contrast to the world, where the social structure is so complex and can sometimes blind the eyes.

Wealth, position and dignity, those are the three most important things in his world.

Without wealth you will be poor.

Without office you will be easily trampled by a higher person.

Without dignity, you will be destroyed.

Eli did not want to compare the pain he suffered while he was living his old life. All that pain was his own fault; drowning in gluttony and envy, made himself so hated by others.

"It's no wonder so many people want me dead."

Erendriel who saw Elizabeth's expression become darker said. "Hey!" He shouted and patted Eli not too hard on the shoulder, until he woke up from his daydream.

"Don't sink so deep into your mind. Not good, you know?"

"Hahahaha. Sorry."

"No need to strain, we'll be there soon."

Their journey to Vasati Ralosandoral's house, which Erendriel said was a magic fortune teller, only took about four minutes.

Eli stared at the rickety house standing in front of him, looking no good to live in. There are many roofs that have been hollow. Even so for the walls made of wood there are some weathered as in eating age.

Looking around, his house was at the end of the village and close to the entrance.

How does one live in a house like this?

Eli was not disgusted, only he was curious how the magician lived in a house this old.

"Are you sure there's someone in it?"

"of course. The old granny rarely went out, usually spending time inside the house just to make various magic potions."

"Magic banquet?!"

"Hmmm..." Erendriel lifted her head to the sky, where the steam from the house came out through the chimney and so much.

"It seems he's busy right now."

The old man walked a few steps to the door. He knocked on the door a few times.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Hey! Vasati! Are you inside?"

Silence and after that there was a sound of falling goods coming from the rickety house.

Hidupk!!!

Erendriel took a step back, her feelings unpleasant. Like there's a problem that's gonna come up when that door opens.

Looking at Erendriel's serious face and seeing some sweat on her face, Eli held his breath. He was getting ready to meet the astrologer. The rare sound of feet being so fast was heard.

And suddenly.... Brak!! The door is open.

"WHISPER!!! CAN'T YOU SWALLOW THAT UGLY VOICE!!? I'M AT WORK, YOU KNOW!"

"Quietly... Vasati. I don't want to fight with you. I just came here to see you."

"JUST YOU STARTED IT!"

Eli was surprised. He noticed the grandmother who was called the magic fortune teller. There was nothing different like the other old man, with his white hair and wrinkled skin.

It's just a different appearance.

[Name: Vasati Ralosandoral]

[Species: Elf]

[***: Woman]

[Pope: 230]

An elf who was endowed with the power to foresee the future. Fortune-teller, the magician of the Epaqokha kingdom in the land of Eqaba.

Eli glanced for a moment at the description of the system. To a 230-year-old elf, he was astonished. In contrast to humans who have a life force of 80 to 90 years. The elves were certainly endowed with quite a long life force.

Her clothes are so simple yet so beautiful.

"There is someone I want to introduce you to" said Erendriel, sliding her body so that she could see Elizabeth fully.

At first, he looked so strange. But slowly his gaze became serious, he walked forward and watched Elizabeth from top to bottom.

"You-you...?"

I don't know what happened. Visati's grandmother's voice sounded so quivering, her facial skin even widened slightly.

He then set his eyes on the old man beside him, Erendriel.

"D-he...? T-but..how...?"

The old man only smiled as he nodded his head. It was as if he had given an answer to Visati's expression that looked so confused.

"His name is Elizabeth, she's a human, our hero who has exterminated all the spider monsters in that cave we've been shutting down for a long time."

"Yes, your words are true" Visati has not taken her eyes off Elizabeth. "I can feel it! Yes, I can feel that prophecy being in front of us!"

Eli did not understand the word "prophecy" mentioned by the old grandmother. However, what he read from the book in the library, it was an advance statement of events that would occur in the future, usually through the intermediary of a Saint or an Oracle.

What does he mean? Me? That prophecy? Huh..this is getting confusing.

"Then let's go in! Come on!"

With a bright face, Visati opened the door of her house wide for Elizabeth.

"Ma..."

"Is something wrong, Elizabeth?"

"ah! Nothing at all, Sir. Just-just"

After that, the door closed.

[Elizabeth POV]

Inside the old grandmother's house was minimal lighting, there were only 5 lantern lights hanging on the roof ceiling of her house. Fortunately, Erendriel was still beside me.

Waitaminute! What about Coco?!

I checked the little baby. My gaze instantly widened, staring at Coco in shock. His eyes were shining like a flashlight.

As if in his body there is a luminous object whose light is able to penetrate his eye organs. Just one word I thought about right then and there. It's hideous!

"Coco, how are you?"

"No need to be surprised like that. That's one of his powers."

"Is this really safe for him?" I said with a worried tone.

"Coco's ability comes naturally, so you don't have to worry."

Even so I was really curious. Can he feel pain while using this ability? But thankfully, this way I can see the whole house clearly.

I lifted his body until I saw our faces face to face.

I asked. "I'm sorry I ignored you. Are you all right?"

Coco just showed her innocent expression, nodded and then smiled towards me.

"Auuu... Hihihi!"

"Why are you laughing? Ahahaha! What's so funny?"

"DIRTYDANISHI!"

The white teeth I can see clearly. Because he was a child, some teeth still did not grow and there are only front teeth.

It grows so well.

Then, Visati came out of a room, she coughed with her busy hand holding a book.

"Ah here it is!" He said happily, lifting the book high into the sky.

I asked. "What book is that?" The purple color with black stone decoration on the front cover of the book made me interested.

I walked towards Visati while looking at the book.

"This is a book that has been passed down by our ancestors. Contains a dark story about the land of Eqaba in the past."

"the eqaba? That name..isn't this country?"

"really so. I'll summarize it so you can understand it better, at least with this you don't have to spend a long time reading this book, because I wanted to let you read it."

"Why not?" ask me Vasati.

That cover title alone used the ancient language, I've learned it in the academy. Although I do not understand because there are still many words that I have not mastered.

Before the old grandmother answered my question, it was Erendriel who came and answered her.

He answered with his eyes closed. "In the book there are some symbols and sentences that you certainly can not understand. In fact, we ourselves are still trying to figure out the meaning of those symbols and sentences..."

"The book is at least 1000 years old and our ancestors did not provide any further information about the original author of the book." Continue Visati.

If what the two of them said was true, then I have no reason not to read the book. But. It feels something strange.

"How many pages are there in this book?"

"100 pages with 10 additional pages containing symbols."

Hundred pages? Not bad either, I've been trained to read fast.

I asked Visati to give me the book, but she asked.

"For what?"

"Of course, I read! What did Grandma think?"

"Have you forgotten what we said?"

I don't care if I can't understand the whole book, if I understand half of it, it'll be much better.

"It would be better if I read the book straight away, give it away."

Visati seemed too hesitant to give me the book. He turned to Erendriel, as if asking a question. The old man just cleared his throat and nodded his head.

"Give it. We have no reason to let him read that book."

"Huh.yeah that's it." Visati gave the book to me. But there is one problem I have not solved.

"Mr Erendriel, can you hold Coco for a moment?"

"Yohohoho! Of course, leave him to me. Come Coco~"

Erendriel was so happy that she stretched her arms and tried to take Coco out of my arms. But Coco hit the old man's hand hard and shook his head. He refused to be carried by Erendriel.

"Coco, there's something important I need to do. You were with Erendriel's grandfather first, weren't you?"

He looked at my face with a pleading look. Like an angel, his gaze almost made my heart melt. But the charm did not affect me.

"Coco stop!" I slightly raised my pitch ladder.

Coco shook, it seemed that she was giving up. His face was so glum, and he looked at Erendriel. He stretched his hands together as if asking to be carried by the old man.

Of course, Erendriel unreservedly and with a glowing face directly carried Coco.

"Finally. Here's the book." I grabbed the book.

"Do we need to leave you here alone, son?"

"If you can, please."

Visati snapped her fingers, all the lanterns lit up by themselves, illuminating the entire contents of this old house. I finally saw it very clearly.

The three of them walked towards the door.

"If you're done reading it and need us, then look for us outside."

"All right."

After that, the three of them came out of the house and left me alone.

I'm a little happy because I'm alone here because, for some reason, when I'm with the two of them, my energy runs out so fast. It seems like this is a process where an extrovert turns into an introvert in such a short time.

Before I decided to read the book at a table. The system also reads.

[System detects the player's desire to read an old book]

[System offers help]

[Will the player accept it?]

[Accept] or [Refuse]

I don't know what kind of help the system is offering me. I just pressed the [Accept] button and nothing happened.

"What the fuck?"

There seems to be a malfunction with the system. Ha.ya. I don't want to waste a lot of time.

I walked up and sat down on the chair and put the book on the table.

"I wonder what it is?"
