Trash of the Count’s Family

urn invisible for now.”

“Me? Alright!”

Cale felt Raon sticking to his back after becoming invisible and started to speak toward Archie and Choi Han.

“Archie, you go down first because you have met the Elves before. Choi Han, you come down last.”

“I understand.”

Choi Han responded back immediately while Archie was looking at the hole with a frown.

Pat.

Cale patted Archies back and Archie sighed before jumping into the hole that seemed to be endless.

“Looks fun!”

“I want to jump in now!”

Cale was scared, but sighed at On and Hong ’s excited gazes as he jumped in with them.

It was similar to when he went to the underground city of the Dark Elves last time, however, this was a steeper slide, so it was more dynamic than last time.

Wow! Human, this is fun!

Raon, who was on Cale ’s back, was excited.

Cale just ignored it and let gravity do its work. He could soon see the light at the end of the tunnel. Cale ’s body fell into the light.

Splash.

‘Mm.

Cale started to frown.

It was different then when they had landed on fluff in the Dark Elf city. He didnt like the splashing noise he just heard.

Cale could see houses that were wet by water.

“Haaaaa.”

His fur coat was wet. Cale continued to frown as he stood up.

“Ahem, hem.”

Cale could see beautiful Elves standing there while looking at him with odd expressions. He could see two guards, as well as three other Elves who seemed to have come to greet him. The middle-aged Elf in front was the one to let out those fake coughs.

Cale looked at this Elf before looking up.

This is so amazing!

It was just as Raon had said.

He could see the lake.

The World Tree and Elf Village were underneath the lake.

There was a transparent barrier preventing the water from coming into the village. He could also see a tree branch.

“Ahem, hem.”

Cale ignored the Elf that was continuing to let out those fake coughs and looked behind him.

“Wow, this was fun!”

He checked on On and Hong, as well as the rest of the group, before walking toward the middle-aged Elf.

Archie couldnt help but think after seeing the look on the Elves faces.

‘They haven ’t changed.

Archie was thinking that the middle-aged Elf was having a hard time deciding how to treat Cale. They would normally treat the human Cale one way, but he was also someone who had come as a messenger for the ancient Dragon.

Paseton was also looking toward Cale with concern.

“Ahem, that-”

The middle-aged male Elf started to speak at that moment.

He seemed to hold a fairly high position in the village.

That was why Cale understood this response. He also understood why the Elves behind this middle-aged Elf were standing there with stiff expressions.

The middle-aged Elf was suppressing his excitement as he needed to maintain his demeanor while the other Elves were trying to calm themselves after seeing how the middle-aged Elf was reacting.

The middle-aged Elf continued to speak.

“That, are you the sir who has come to deliver Eruhaben-nims message? Did the esteemed Dragon-nim c, come as well?”

‘Hmm?

Archie became anxious after seeing the middle-aged Elf ’s extremely respectful demeanor. He then focused his attention on this Elf.

The middle-aged Elf ’s shoulders were shaking.

‘Why is he like this?

This usually rude bastard that he had traded with many times in the past was acting weird.

He then saw Cale starting to speak.

“Raon.”

Cale said just one word.

”Tada! I have appeared!”

Raon stopped being invisible.

“Ohhhhhhhh!”

Archie nervously turned his head back after hearing that shout. The middle-aged Elf was holding his chest in amazement. The Elves behind him were acting the same way.

“… What the?”

‘Why are the Elves acting like this?

The Whales who had never seen Elves meeting with a Dragon became anxious. However, Cale ’s group was calm, as they had become used to this already through Pendrick the Healer.

“I am the great and mighty Raon Miru!”

The Elves nodded their heads and continued to mutter Raon ’s name as if they were studying for a large exam. Cale stopped one Elf who seemed ready to kneel and helped him back up.

“Thank you very much.”

Archie wanted to barf after seeing the Elf ’s grateful smile toward Cale. However, Cale was just slightly annoyed, as he had expected this response.

“Where do I need to go?”

“Ah, yes sir.”

The middle-aged Elf wiped away some sweat as he continued to speak.

“You need to meet with the priestess-nim who takes care of the World Tree. She was originally supposed to come to greet you, but she could not do so as the World Tree suddenly called for her.”

“Is that so? Then let ’s head to the priestess-nim right away.”

Cale wanted to quickly take care of things and lay down by a fireplace.

“Yes sir. We will take you there right away! Huh?”

The middle-aged Elf turned toward the direction of the village before stopping in shock. Cale had a confused expression on his face as well.

A little girl was running toward them.

There were a couple of other Elves behind her as well.

“…Priestess-nim?”

‘Priestess?

Cale looked back at the little girl after hearing the middle-aged Elf ’s comment.

‘Hmm?

The two of them made eye contact at that moment.

‘Is she looking at me?

Cales back felt chilly after seeing the little Elf who looked like a troublemaker rushing toward him.

‘Isnt her face too pale?

The little Elf seemed completely petrified.

The young priestess rushed toward Cale as if she had a very important mission. The middle-aged Elf quickly approached the priestess once she got close.

“Priestess-nim, what is going on?”

The priestess did not even pay any attention to the middle-aged Elf before pointing toward Cale.

“Red hair!”

Cale flinched.

The young priestess had a look of urgency on her freckled face as she walked in front of Cale.

Cale slowly took a step backward.

This priestess seemed to be a bit weird.

However, there was a noise that intrigued Cale at that moment.

Clang.

It was the sound of coins.

Cale looked down at the young priestess.

The priestess raised her head and tried to hand the bag in her hand to Cale.

Clang, clang.

It sounded like coins clanging against each other inside the bag.

The young Elf started to speak.

“It might be old human money, but please take it! Apparently, they are silver coins!”

‘Hmm?

“Here, here! Now!”

The priestess shoved the bag toward Cale and Cale accepted it for now. The priestess then rummaged through her wide sleeves and took out a flat rectangular item as well.

“Here is gold as well! There were no gold coins!”

The young Elf seemed to be panicking.

“…What the hell?”

Cale was shocked and swore without thinking about it. However, the young priestess did not even care about that.

In her ten years as a priestess, this was the first time that the World Tree was so scared. The priestess raised the bar of gold back toward Cale and started to speak.

“The World Tree told me to give money to the red-haired person! It told me to give you coins!”

Coins.

There seemed to be a reason she kept saying coins.

Cale opened up his left hand.

Crackle, crackle. The Fire of Destruction was still there.

The young priestess urgently started to speak after seeing Cale looking back at her.

“Please take it! Otherwise, the World Tree said everything will burn! There will be a sea of fire!”

Cale started to think.

‘Just what did the owner of the Fire of Destruction do?

The Elf priestess seemed concerned.

“It said you really like coins and that you would go crazy for it!”

‘He wasnt just a greedy hero?

Cale couldnt believe it, but accepted the Elf priestesss gold for now.
