Chapter 484

On the night when I greeted the people of Lizaira, there was a feast. It was a feast to welcome me as Ellen's friend and guest. They prepared and cooked the game and the villagers gathered to eat and drink. The people of Lizaira seemed to be living self-sufficiently without any problems. They welcomed me just because I was Ellen's friend. The adults knew that the world was in great chaos now, but they didn't mention it. And most of them seemed to be unaware of the One Moon Party. They were worried about Ellen, but it seemed that they believed that nothing big would happen to her. Do the people of Lizaira live here from birth until death? Does anything happen in the village with outsiders coming in? Lena, Ellen's childhood friend, asked me what was happening outside. The guy named Artara sitting on the other side also seemed to be focusing on me. They didn't know the specific situation either. It seemed that the fact that nothing was happening in Lizaira was very strange. I didn't have a reason to tell those who didn't know the details that the outside world was hell. I quietly looked at the adults in the village and Ellen's parents. There is no need to die for someone. I don't think you have to do that just because you have strength and ability. However, I couldn't comfortably watch them living hidden from the world like this. I don't know what specific power they had. But if their power was added, couldn't the situation be resolved more quickly? I couldn't erase such foolishness and doubt. Luna Arthorius, Ellen's mother who was sitting far away, looked at me for a moment as if she had read my thoughts. After the feast was over, she called me separately and led me over the mountains of Lizaira. Soon, we arrived at a small square with a warehouse. Luna didn't explain what this place was. I could tell without explanation. It was the place where Lagan and Ellen practiced swordsmanship. I don't know how the two heroes practiced swordsmanship here. Lagan may have taught Ellen how to use a sword. I don't know if Lagan learned the sword from Luna or Ronan. However, I could only know that I was now in such a historical place. Is she trying to teach me something? Luna said, "You cannot possess the power I use." Not that she couldn't teach me, but that I couldn't possess it. "I felt like my breath was being cut off by her decisive words. 'I probably won't be able to teach you anything properly.' I didn't know what constraints she had or what the situation was. But it seemed like a great adventure for her to try to teach me something. Just like I couldn't turn away from the world, maybe it was the same for her. Maybe it was just a story where she couldn't turn away from me. 'Just promise me one thing.' 'What...do you mean?' 'Trust me.' '....' 'Can you do that?' Trust me. I didn't know what that meant. Why did she say that before teaching me something? Maybe it was a story that she predicted situations where she wouldn't be trusted. Why did she talk like she had a feeling that she wouldn't be trusted? However, she welcomed me who came to her without hesitation. She even tried to teach me something. 'Of course.' '....' She looked at me quietly. I have to trust her. If I want to take something and prepare for later. I have to trust her. There's nothing helpful about doubting Luna at this point. What would she think of the word 'trust'? She didn't express any opinion of any faction. She just looked at me quietly. 'Try enhancing your mana.' 'Yes.' -Kurung! Enhancing mana itself has become as easy as breathing. The explosive release of mana flowing throughout my body, and enhancement. Can she lead me to the next level? It's been about three seconds since I used mana enhancement. 'Stop, that's enough.' At her command, I stopped the mana release of mana enhancement. Can she find my problems just by looking at me? Luna turned her body. 'The flow of mana is too emotional.' She added just that. 'Let's go back.' Trust me. I felt like I knew what that meant. * * * How much time is left? I think there's enough time until the final fight. But since the situation has changed from the original, there could be a sudden situation at any time. In Edina, we could receive information about the continent and the empire through the information picked up by Antirianus. But in Lizaira, a world isolated from the world, the world's affairs do not come to my ears. I arrived in Lizaira to find a breakthrough, but I couldn't learn anything. All I heard was that the flow of mana was too emotional. Even after that, for a few days, Luna prepared meals for me, and Lohan was busy with the village's work. I could see that life was busy with everything you had to do. I couldn't help but be anxious as I watched the scenery. There's no time for this. I don't have time to waste. Even if I swing my sword without a break, it's not enough. People are dying at this very moment, and I don't know what's happening in Edina, and I don't know how the empire and the continent are doing right now." "I feel like I'm just wasting time. I need to prepare for the final fight and cannot afford to waste any time. It's frustrating that I can't even hear about what's happening in the world because Lizaira is so isolated. Luna and Lohan take care of me, but they don't give me what I really want. I feel like I'm going crazy, so I spend all day swinging my sword in the field. She may want me to find a breakthrough on my own. I pull out my strong mana until I'm exhausted, then lean against a tree and rest. And when I recover, I focus my mind again to find the next step in enhancing my mana. There was no progress. * * * It's been a week since I arrived in Lizaira. Luna and Lohan still haven't taught me anything. I had to make a decision. During breakfast, I asked if I could go back and come back later. Luna said she wouldn't let me back in if I left. I couldn't say anything. It's been a week and I feel like I'm being neglected. I wish she would give me something to do, even if it's an impossible task. I'm going crazy not knowing what's happening in Edina. I was planning on leaving for a while, but now I realize that Edina needs me more than I need to be away. I'm going crazy with anxiety because I don't know how the world is going. I can teleport back in just a few hours, but Luna says she won't let me back in if I leave. I don't know what Luna is thinking. She just nods her head as if it's my choice. It's been a month since I left Edina." "As the end of the Gate crisis approaches, the speed at which the Gates are being destroyed slows down, and one must approach each Gate carefully as they prepare for the big fight. I had this thought hundreds of times a day, almost obsessively. Is Charlotte doing well with the affairs in Edina? Could something have happened with Rihanna, Olivia, or Trouble? Then Harry would be in trouble. Is Ellen okay? Is she being deployed in overly dangerous missions? Because I couldn't know what was happening in the world, I was going crazy with stress, even feeling nauseous. Yesterday, Luna strengthened my magic again, but she didn't say anything and just left after seeing me use it. I wanted to scream and ask what was wrong, but I couldn't say anything. Something was missing. I had to figure it out on my own. I spent all day in the field trying to strengthen my magic, but even with all my effort, I still felt lacking. I don't know what's missing or what the problem is. I feel like I'm just one step away, but I don't know how to take that step. Suddenly, a girl with short hair appeared and offered me water. I drank it and felt refreshed. I've been staying in this village for a month, but I haven't had much interaction with the people here, not even Ellen's childhood friend, Lena. She commented on my skills and asked if I knew how to use weapons." Lena pointed at herself and shook her head, saying that she didn't have any talent for weapons. The protagonist realized that the village they were in was strange due to their preconceptions, but Lena's evaluation was correct. Ellen was stronger than the protagonist in every way, and Lena commented that the protagonist seemed anxious. Lena didn't know the situation outside and why the protagonist was there alone without Ellen, but advised them not to rush and lose the ability to do anything. The protagonist sat in the field, thinking about their anxiety and restlessness, and activated their entire body with their magic. The protagonist wondered if their magic enhancement was fundamentally wrong.
