Episode 253 Chapter 50: Noble Soul (6)

Noble Soul (6)

The orchard of NamuHwaran was originally a tourist destination, and although it was the off-season after the holidays, it was still crowded due to being a large city.

But they wouldn't have known.

That in the third World Tree they came to relax... they would encounter the ruler of all spirits, deities, divine beasts, fairies, and elves: the Elf King, Florin. 

NamuHwaran, Central Plaza.

Although it wasn't the highest place in the orchard, it was a flat basin where you could look down at the surrounding scenery, making it the most visited spot by tourists, and it was even more crowded than usual.

Murmurs filled the air.

"What's going on?"

"Is there some kind of event?"

"Shh, what event! They say the Elf King has personally come here."

"Really? But why would someone who never shows their face suddenly appear?"

To the general public, the Elf King Florin was a mysterious figure shrouded in secrecy.

Rumors said she was so beautiful that people would fall in love at first sight, so she hid her face intentionally... but she had never revealed herself to the public, making it impossible to know the truth.

But today, she suddenly appeared in the orchard of the third World Tree, NamuHwaran.

She summoned the altar used only for special elven ceremonies to the central plaza and stood alone on it.

Even though she was still wrapped head to toe in a black dress and wore a white mask, making it impossible to see the Elf King's appearance, people felt a strange emotion.

Even though her entire body was covered... why did she still seem so beautiful?

No one knew that this was due to the innate ability of Florin, the Elf King, called "Enthralling Presence."

Sigh...

Florin let out a small sigh and steadied her trembling voice.

Although the curse had weakened significantly, allowing her to appear like this as long as her face was covered, she still felt very burdened by the attention from such a large crowd due to living in hiding for so long.

But she had to do it.

Without directly communicating with the World Tree, she couldn't find the cause of the black magic infestation.

As the leaves of the World Tree rustled, a green aurora began to gradually cover the sky, and the murmuring crowd fell silent, lifting their heads in awe.

"Wow..."

The people who had come to NamuHwaran just to enjoy the scenery now felt their hearts healed by an even more beautiful sight.

However, Florin's expression was troubled, and she bit her lip hard.

-It hurts.

-Go away.

-It hurts.

-Sorry.

-It hurts.

The voice of a child echoed in her mind. It was undoubtedly the cry of NamuHwaran, but Florin couldn't even manage to talk to him properly.

NamuHwaran was not in his right mind, making communication impossible.

"Ugh...!"

She bit her lip until it bled, trying to focus her mind, but Florin couldn't do anything as NamuHwaran kept screaming.
