The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 736

Episode 736 You have to trust me. (3)

Erenes was very curious about the first human he saw. Giselle noticed it while fighting.
Unlike the future Erenes who had been through a lot and boasted incredible strength(?), the current Erenes definitely seemed to lack experience.
So Giselle decided to use that side of Erenes. If it worked, she could stay in this forest a little longer.
Giselle, who watched Erenes’ actions from hiding, was secretly delighted. Erenes really did take her side.
‘Great! We have a chance! Now let’s figure out what to do!’
At Giselle’s words, Dark and Astion joined and started an urgent meeting. They had to convince Erenes right away once the elves retreated.
Astion spoke urgently first.
– How about asking her out first? If we start dating, she’ll naturally take your side, right? Please!
Astion, like a man crazy about love, was going to attack her with a confession straight away. It was indeed the idea of ​​a man who had never been in love.
Of course, to Giselle and Dark, who knew about Erenes, that was not a good idea at all.
Dark stopped him in shock.
― Do you know who that elf is and say such things? Don’t be fooled by her beautiful appearance. Even if you really succeed in seducing her, it won’t be the end. If you hurt that elf’s feelings in a lover’s fight, you’ll just die.
The future Erenes was a strong person who Giselle couldn’t guarantee a victory even if she used all her strength. She was special even in the Rutanian army, which was full of strong people.
However, she gradually became stronger as time passed. Even her original strength hadn’t fully returned.
In Dark’s eyes, Erenes was truly a monster among monsters. And Astion and her dating?
I can guarantee that if you offend Erenes even a little, Astion(?) will be crushed in an instant.
However, Astion, who had already lost his mind, didn’t hear such words.
― I’d rather die!
― … … Even though he looks like that, he’s much older than you, right? He’s an elf.
― Younger men are the trend these days!
― … … .
― You’re all going to leave anyway! Before that, you can do that much for me!
Surprisingly, Astion was sincere. If Giselle had someone to date now, she could have continued her relationship after he left.
It was a trick he had thought of from the beginning because he had no confidence in seducing women.
Dark, who had been clicking his tongue, offered a new idea.
― Master, this guy’s head is full of love. It won’t help at all. Instead, listen to me.
‘Do you have any good ideas?’
― Let’s just take it easy. That monster elf is weaker than you now, so subdue him and take him as a hostage. Declare to all the elves that you’ll kill them if they don’t hand over the Holy Stone.
‘… … .’
― Master, you’re always going to go out there!
People have a misconception. Giselle doesn’t just go out there without thinking.
He just ignores common sense in order to maximize efficiency and get good results. If the result was bad or the side effects were big, there was no reason to ignore common sense.
Dark, who couldn’t tell the difference, insisted on just pushing through with force.
‘… … You guys are no help at all right now.’
In this situation, it was no different than three idiots discussing things. Since the elves were leaving, they had to quickly come up with a story to persuade Erenes.
Astion gathered Dark’s opinions and came up with a new idea.
― Then how about we subdue him first, take him hostage, and then ask him to date? It’s a combination of both of our opinions.
― Wow, you’re seriously the worst. You piece of trash!
It was Dark who first suggested subduing him, taking him hostage, and threatening to kill him. But when he heard it from someone else, it really sounded like trash.
Dark suddenly drew a line and appealed that he was different from Astion.
Astion shouted as if he was having a fit.
― That’s more than what you said! But I didn’t say we should kill him!
― Ah, you’re really the real deal. Why have you become so violent?
― Shut up! It’s because of you guys! You made me like this! You took my body by force and did whatever you wanted!
Neither of them had anything to say about that. To be honest, even if Astion acted crazy, they had to give him some credit.
Thanks to Giselle, Astion was getting stronger easily, which was a reward, but his notoriety was also growing, which was a problem.
However, right now was not the time to appease Astion. Giselle pressed her temples and growled.
‘Stop talking nonsense and let the scenario come up quickly!’
― T, Then how about we start by praising him a lot to make him feel good? I read in ‘Introduction to Dating for Lonely Wizards’ that compliments are the best for women.
― Right! They say compliments make even dragons dance! Let’s compliment them first to make them let their guard down, and then subdue them!
It didn’t help. In the end, Giselle brought up the topic of ‘Revelator’, and the three quickly held a meeting based on that.
Once the framework was established, she immediately introduced herself to Erenes as the Revelator.
Of course, Erenes didn’t believe it. It was such a sudden statement.
Giselle wiggled her fingers when she saw her suspicious eyes.
“I know it’s hard to believe. But the fact that I know your name is proof.”
“It’s amazing that you know my name… but how do you know it? And how is that proof?”
“Because your name was in the Revelation!”
“Really?”
“The Revelation told me to find you, Erenes, and work together to solve the problem in the Northern Forest.”
Erenes was shocked by those words. There really was a problem in the Northern Forest.
She was really confused when she heard that the intruder knew her name and a problem that humans couldn’t know.
‘Are you really someone who received the Revelation?’
It’s true that elves are ignorant of the outside world, but they weren’t stupid. But as they encountered situations beyond common sense, they had no choice but to fall for Giselle’s lies.
She took the opportunity to ask more questions.
“Then why didn’t you come to the forest proudly? Why did you sneak in? You could have just told me your name and said you would solve the problem in the northern forest.”
“Hmm, that part is a bit long to explain in detail. I’ll make it short. The city’s external relations officer was very vehemently opposed to my party entering the forest.”
“Lord Sailan? Why? If you were telling the truth, he would have allowed it.”
She couldn’t do that. Giselle had also sneaked in to find out that there was a problem in the northern forest.
She couldn’t rashly bring up Erenes’ name.
Giselle controlled her expression and spoke with a little truth.
“The revelation said that the elves needed the holy stone. The Pope believed me and supported me in everything. So that I could go as an official envoy. But Lord Sailan refused without even listening to the explanation properly.”
“A holy stone? A guardian stone?”
“Ga…… guardian stone?”
“Yeah, we call it a guardian stone. It’s a legacy left by the goddess to protect each race.”
“……Aha.”
It was similar to what the Pope had said, but different.
Well, isn’t that how myths are? They’re told differently here and there, and the interpretations are different.
Jiselle wasn’t really interested in myths. She just needed to get the holy stone and see what effect it would have on Deneve.
“Anyway, that’s why I sneaked in. I need to find you somehow and save the elves.”
“But you need a guardian stone too? Why do you need that?”
“Yeah, there was a revelation that it was necessary to solve the problem in the northern forest. I don’t know more than that. That’s what revelations are, right? But it’s definitely the key to solving the problem.”
Because of the time crunch, she couldn’t come up with a scenario related to it.
Still, calling her a seer wasn’t a complete lie. Jiselle knew the future.
In order to save humanity, Deneve had to awaken. Saving humanity was no different from saving the elves.
That’s why Giselle could speak confidently.
It was a natural flow. Giselle really thought so. She felt proud for no reason and asked Astion and Dark in her consciousness.
‘How is my acting?’
– I also want to talk to a woman.
‘… … .’
– Master. She’s going to be annoying in the future anyway, so why don’t we just beat her up now and establish discipline? Let’s just beat her up and run away, even if it’s Seongseok and all.
‘… … .’
Both of them were only true to their own desires. Giselle didn’t feel the value of talking anymore.
Erenes, who had been thinking for a while after hearing Giselle’s words, nodded.
“Hmm… is that so? Yes, that’s so.”
Judging from her appearance, she seemed to agree with Giselle to some extent.
Giselle smiled strangely as she looked at Erenes.
After thinking, Erenes asked Giselle again.
“Okay, so what are we going to do now?”
“I’ll take a look around the North Forest with you first.”
“And then?”
“We’ll identify the problem in the North Forest and then find a solution. You know that revelations are usually a bit vague, right? The important thing is to be with you in the revelation.”
“I see. Then, you’re saying we should first look around the North Forest?”
“Yes, the two of us will try to solve the problem together.”
Erenes smiled faintly at those words.
In fact, her daily life in the forest was too boring for her. This kind of adventure was exactly what she had been hoping for.
Of course, she hadn’t completely let down her guard against humans. She had been thoroughly trained.
Erenes grabbed Giselle by the collar and roughly pulled her close to his face.
She had heard from other elves several times that humans easily fell for elf beauty.
Erenes whispered softly with a seductive smile.
“If you’re fooling me, I won’t let you. But… if this goes well, we can become quite close. In many ways.”
The soft voice tickled Giselle’s ear. Giselle looked slightly surprised.
The Erenes he knew was an elf who would never show any gestures to seduce someone.
But now, he was showing off his bold charm, unlike any other elf.
It was definitely very bold because he was young. No, maybe it was because of this age.
Erenes smiled triumphantly as he looked at Giselle, who had a blank expression.
‘Humans are… . . ’
The human in front of her must have been completely taken aback by her beauty.
She also knew very well that she was incredibly beautiful.
Even the elves, who did not value appearances, mentioned her beauty, so it was an undeniable truth.
Of course, the elves’ words also contained a warning. They were careful advice not to be taken in by superficial beauty like humans.
However, such warnings were not so important to Erenes.
‘There is no reason not to use whatever means are available.’
She was an elf who knew how to use even her beauty without hesitation.
The problem was that Giselle was not an ordinary human.
‘What is this? Did I eat some fruit from a tree? Who on earth taught me this?’
He just made a blank expression in bewilderment.
Giselle was not dazzled by a person’s appearance. She had been through too much to be able to do that.
Erenes’ beauty did not inspire him in the least. No, gender did not even mean anything to him.
Enemy or ally.
That was the only thing that mattered to Giselle.
Without even knowing it, Erenes pulled Giselle’s face a little closer and made a cold expression.
“You understand?”
The sweet fruity scent seemed to spread around. Giselle held back a laugh and nodded.
“I understand.”
– Yes! Sister!
She simply ignored Astion’s answer in her mind.
Only then did Erenes let go of Giselle and turned around. She was a little embarrassed, but the human man must have fallen for her by now.
It helped that she had heard a lot of stories about humans. She had practiced on her own several times to use it when she went out into the world.
Erenes, who was leading the way, smiled coldly.
‘Revelation? There’s no way I would believe that. But it’s fun, so I’ll play with you a little more. Soon, you’ll tell me how you knew my name and the problem of the northern forest.’ She
had no intention of forcing herself on him right away. Her goal was to make the human man fall for her and tell her everything on his own.
This was also something she had really wanted to do while listening to stories from the outside world.
For now, enjoying a small adventure was the priority.
Erenes took a deep breath to maintain his composure. The sense of depravity from breaking the rules gave him a thrilling pleasure that was hard to describe.
Following her, Giselle also raised the corners of her mouth. She thought of the strange smile Erenes had made when she listened to Giselle and nodded.
‘Erenes… … . You’ve been really clever since then?’
He had already figured out Erenes’s acting.
