===================

I explored the unknown by handing thick candy to the Ruinongs who were huddled together like pigeons.

As a result,

I learned a lot of information.

It was about the Ruinong, a mysterious race that was not revealed in detail in the original work.

‘Ruinong is immortal as long as he is not physically harmed by others. Moreover, it is immune to poison and diseases and is invulnerable to diseases.’

illness and death.

It is a factor that all living things in the world fear.

However, the Ruinong race naturally had the blessings of immortality and immunity to disease and disease. In addition, he is an all-powerful person who can achieve anything if he earnestly asks for something called ‘God’.

What on earth are these guys?

I wandered around the fairy paradise with questions as deep as the abyss.

“… … .”

Wow-. Wow-. Wow-.

Wow-. Wow-. Wow-. Wow-.

Every time I took regular steps, there was a sound of stepping on a sponge.

When I looked back, I saw numerous Ruinongs.

When he stopped, Ruinong who followed him also stopped all at once.

“Why are you following me?”

I asked while frowning.

Although the Ruinongs looked frightened, they begged them to follow.

Is it because it was tamed with thick candy?

The colorful girls laughed and showed excitement.

“Everyone seems to like Ethan.”

“… Just like young children especially like junk food?”

No matter how you look at it, the sight of Ruinongs following behind, leaving the beautiful princess aside, is not normal. I shook my head at the words of Lue, who was walking side by side.

He sighed and gestured.

Then the Ruinongs who had been watching from afar gathered around, laughing.

“What are foreigners curious about?”

“I want to let you know! So, be thankful!”

If you poke him in the side, he looks like he’s going to confess his secrets.

Even though I hadn’t even asked yet, the bold fairies responded as if their mouths were itching. They were obviously just waiting for people to pay attention to them.

“Since when did paradise exist? There’s no way you guys made it.”

The paradise surrounded by pure white crystals was like an ancient city boasting magnificent architectural beauty.

It didn’t feel artificial at all.

It seemed as if nature had created a home for the Ruinong on its own.

The dense cedar trees growing in the underground space.

A large mushroom that acts as soft furniture. Soft green moss that provides excellent insulation.

The sight of Ruinongs running over it was reminiscent of a scene from a fairy tale book.

Would it really have been this beautiful if it had been touched by human hands? The Ruinong village, with its pure white mystery, was like the most perfect utopia that nature could create.

“Even Ruinong doesn’t know!”

“I don’t remember. Everyone in Ruinong is smart… That’s the only thing I don’t remember.”

All Ruinongs tilted their heads.

There may be even a small clue,

They showed the same reaction at the same time, as if they were in harmony with each other.

What do you want from these innocent idiots? I had to give up with a heavy sigh.

“Hmph, Hmph… !”

“You are ignoring Ruinong when it comes to humans!”

When they showed blatant disregard, the Ruinongs grumbled and became angry. He waved both hands wildly and even complained, ‘If you don’t apologize, I’ll get upset!’

Umm.

If you keep pouting like this, you’ll be in trouble… .

In fact, I came all the way here to persuade the Ruinongs in Paradise. I decided to appease the little ones to some extent by roasting and boiling them later.

“Then tell me what you know first. Because even the little things don’t matter. If you like it, I’ll give you thick candy.”

I took out the thick candy that was in my pocket.

Then the Ruinongs reacted violently, shaking their bodies.

Give it to just one person.

As restrictions were added, the Ruinongs became more violent.

“If you go over there, icicles will pop up! Yellow, pink, green… . The green icicles are especially popular!”

“Eh! Nouveau’s mushroom bed is famous for being the softest! As soon as we lay down on the mushroom bed, everyone felt cool and went to dreamland!”

I expected it, but only trivial stories poured out.

Fruit-flavored icicles.

A large, soft mushroom that Ruinongs use as a bed.

I felt interested for a moment, but that was it.

Maybe I should have asked about the being called ‘God’.

I handed out thick candies one by one to the Ruinongs who were talking intently while scratching the backs of their heads.

“Nyunnyomnyom! I’m talking about the glowing stick in the corner of the village!”

“It’s just a stick. If you say something for nothing, they will treat us like fools again.”

“I was surprised. I never thought humans would come to paradise again.”

“Wasn’t he as sparkling as the pretty princess who gave him thick candy?”

The little Ruinongs sat in a circle on the grass like kindergarteners on a picnic.

And they started chatting while sucking on the thick candy.

What is this story about?

I gave Lue some thick candy and listened to the Lue farmers’ conversation.

“Who else came to paradise besides us?”

“Hey! No, I was surprised!”

When I popped my head out and asked, the Ruinongs were shocked and shouted.

I think you stole something.

He looked at Ruinong with the intention of quickly answering the question.

“Suddenly he entered paradise and left his stick behind.”

“Stick… ?”

“It’s a stick that sparkles like a morning star. He said he would leave it here and gave food to the Ruinongs!”

“… … .”

A beautiful woman like Elizabeth.

And a man volunteering to be an escort followed.

I don’t know when it happened.

The Ruinong only told the story that humans came from the outside world.

I felt a shock that seemed to penetrate my lungs.

I even felt nervous that there might be traces of ‘them’.

In an angry voice, he asked the Ruinongs for the location of the stick. Then, although the Ruinongs looked horrified, they willingly showed us the place.

“… Oh my god.”

We arrived at a place full of frozen icicles, like a snowy mountain covered in permanent snow. Then, I was able to witness the shining brilliance reflected in the transparent ice like a mirror.

A dazzling brightness like sunlight.

It was without a doubt the divine power of the Earth Mother.

In the center where the divine power shined brilliantly, the ‘sticks’ that the Ruinongs had spoken of were stuck in a pile.

‘The scepter of the midnight sun.’

The scepter decorated with golden orbs and pure white ivory was clearly the weapon of the Holy Empire.

The divine punishment of the Earth Mother who destroys immortality.

A sacred soldier of the second saint who was given a great mission.

Why was that thing left all alone in the paradise of fairies?

The beautiful woman that Louison saw was definitely Beatrice. Beatrice, who had gone missing with her lovers, briefly visited paradise.

I finally found the traces.

As soon as I saw the second saint’s sacred weapon, my heart began to beat faster than ever.

“That’s Bea’s wand?!”

Lue, who arrived at the scene late, shouted in surprise.

Then, the Ruinongs who had guided the place stood upright and whispered.

“It seems like a very important stick.”

“I was playing around swinging around until yesterday… .”

“I used it as a laundry basket. The warm light is emitted so clothes dry easily.”

The Scepter of the Midnight Sun was a weapon that cut off immortality given to Beatrice by the Earth Mother.

The saint’s party fulfilled a fate that was thought impossible by mobilizing the scepter of the midnight sun to kill the ruler of the demon world, who was immortal.

Naturally, the Holy Imperial Kingdom revered the White Night Scepter as an irreplaceable sacred object of the highest rank.

Such a sacred soldier… I would have guessed that it was being used as a baseball bat and laundry machine by Ruinongs.

I’m sure the emperor and cardinals would have sighed if they had seen the sight. Maybe he would have crushed the heads of the little Ruinongs by swinging a thick Bible.

‘This scepter… There’s no way you wouldn’t know.’

It was a weapon that Beatrice always cherished like her alter ego. At no point did I let go of the scepter of the midnight sun.

But why?

Why did you use the scepter that symbolizes yourself? .

My head started pounding.

I pressed down on my temples while swallowing.

“Ethan, are you okay?!”

“Of course. I was just dizzy for a moment.”

I thought about collecting the scepter of the midnight sun that was left carelessly, but decided to hold off for a while.

There was no need to rush.

The fairies’ paradise is a sanctuary completely cut off from the outside world.

That’s probably why Beatrice left the midnight sun scepter in the paradise of fairies. If you leave a sacred sergeant here, no one will find you.

“For now, let’s leave the scepter of the midnight sun. Whether you use it as a baseball bat or as a washing machine… The owner of the scepter left it behind, so tell them to take care of it.”

Eventually, as if letting go of his regrets, he turned his head.

And then he held Lue’s hand.

“Because the purpose is to take the Ruinongs from paradise outside. How to take Ruinong out of this closed world… Let’s think about it first.”

There is a limit to simply tempting someone with snacks.

A sure way to capture the hearts of Ruinongs was needed.

What on earth is that?

I guess I’ll have to think about it with Lue from now on.

Like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, he led numerous Ruinongs towards Elisabetta. What would the princess be doing right now? I just hope that nothing bad happens.

Since Elisabeta was notorious for being a villainess with a fierce temper, I felt deep concern.

* * *

I returned after looking around the outskirts of the village with the Ruinongs.

It was not difficult to determine Elisabetta’s location. In a space crowded with bold girls, the Platinum Princess must be there.

“Princess! Princess!”

“Don’t be too clingy!”

I’ve heard of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but I’ve never heard of The Villainous Lady and Ruinong.

A beautiful princess with flowing blonde hair.

Her surroundings were full of Ruinongs chanting for national independence.

What happened?

Elizabeth was wearing a wreath made of colorful flowers. The Ruinongs probably gave it to the princess as a gift. My mind went blank for a moment at the sight of the Platinum Princess skillfully taming the Ruinongs as if she were raising pets.

“Ex… ! Poetry, God?!”

When I was looking at the unbelievable sight for a moment,

Lue, who was watching from the side, suddenly burst into shock.

Lue’s eyes, which were clearly bewildered, were aimed squarely at Elisabetta.
