FFF-Class Trashero

Chapter 119 - Queen’s Guard Knight

We went proceeding into the settlement of the orcs. The orcs I took the experience points from disappeared without a trace, leaving behind not even a single drop of blood. Usually, the bodies would stay for a while, but since I took their experience, they could not maintain their shape.

“NuNu~?!”

The orcs who went to sleep during the day or were lying down to rest were lucky to stay alive. But think for yourself. All their fellow tribesmen who were nearby were completely exterminated. The frightened orcs immediately fled in fear.

We were able to arrive without any special barriers at the log house of the orcs leader, where an elf lay under the wooden rubble. Real gentlemen would help a lady first, but it’s hardly expected from orcs.

“Miss elf, are you okay?!”

”We’ll save you now!”

”Well, of course, the Hero-Savage…”

The group quickly removed the debris, and the sprawling elf was rescued. She wasn’t wearing a single piece of clothing, and her whole body was covered in mud.

Splash-

The spirits of Water adhered to my body helped wash it away. With the water created in the air, they enveloped her body and then began to unwind as if she had fallen into the drum of a washing machine.

Powerful wash!

This process was so fast that the elf didn’t even have time to drown.

Hwaruru-!

The Spirits of Fire then set fire to the logs of the destroyed house to warm the soaked elf. The rest of the dummies went through the same process.

”Hey, why do we need…”

Thief E decided to express their dissatisfaction for everyone when the Spirits poured water on her too. Then the Porter took a woolen blanket out of his large sack and handed it to the naked elf. But even after being washed from dirt, the appearance left much to be desired.

If you are dealing with such rude creatures as orcs, then the skin can be severely damaged. The lack of nutrients was also affecting her. Fragile from birth, the elf didn’t normally eat, so she became thin as a reed. I couldn’t find any excess flesh on her form.

The elf sent gratitude with her eyes.

Race: Elf

Level: 892

Specialization: Tamer (Taming = Experience ↑)

Skills: Breeding S, Taming A, Empathy B, Gathering C, Spirit D …

Condition: Curse, Exhaustion, Dislocations, Fractures, Confusion

Her terrible condition was similar to that of the 2nd playthrough. But that’s not a problem for me.

”Hiplia.”

We will now go to meet my dear companion King Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. We had no time to return to the village to take care of the unimportant elf. Fortunately, there are no such traumas that the Saint couldn’t heal. If only there were payment.

Race: Elf

Level: 872

Specialization: Tamer (Taming = Experience ↑)

Skills: Breeding S, Taming A, Empathy B, Gathering C, Spirit D …

Condition: Astonishment

Her broken bones and torn skin were healed. We didn’t feed her, but she even put some weight. A saint could revive a person who lost their heart, so this was easy for her. However, she couldn’t solve congenital defects.

”Th-thanks…”

The elf tamer, with a bewildered expression, bowed to express her gratitude.

”If you are grateful, tell me something.”

”Can I get dressed first…?”

Due to the reddened face of the elf and her request, the conversation had to be postponed. Her original clothes were no longer a fit, as the orc had ripped off her combat uniform from the days when she was a knight and a servant who protected the wife of the elf king.

But there was nothing to worry about, as her physique was almost the same as Thief E’s. For Thief E, the S-Rank Hero’s Companion, many outfits were prepared in the Dumpling Kingdom. The clothes were light and thin, made especially for the elf’s dexterous fighting style. And underwear was no exception.

”Hey…your underwear is…”

”Shut up!” Said Thief E, who had bought underwear at the Lanuvel market the day before the trip.

Her ears turned red. It looked more like a thread with a sesame leaf attached to it than proper underwear. Plus, it was purple.

“Well, you’re very pathetic. You’re being mean when she’s trying to compliment you.”

“That…that means you like it?”

Thief E pricked up her ears. I didn’t answer her question and looked at the others.

”You saw my example? Now you raise your level.”

If you don’t want to die from the poison of the ancient dragon.

*

Even though I said this, I didn’t expect significant growth from them. If it were that easy, then I wouldn’t suffer so much during the 1st playthrough. Because of their natural talent, the optimistic and lazy “Hero’s Companions,” instead of grueling training, liked to show off to the weak.

When they meet a serious opponent, they basely attack him in a crowd and then boast: “He was incredibly strong, but not our enemy!” And they simply distract the weak with beautiful speeches before delivering a sudden blow.

It’s unclear who the villain is in this case. These idiots have no such thing as work in their heads.

”Miss tamer.”

”Yes, Hero. Speak.”

I ordered the others who hadn’t reached level 300 to hunt the orcs, so the tamer and I remained. By this time, the settlement of the orcs had already turned into a dense forest.

Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ether. The five attributes blended, and the Orc-occupied land returned to its natural state. And the spirits that did their job again stuck to my body…

I settled comfortably on the chair made by the Spirits of the Earth and asked the elf, who was sitting opposite me on the log:

”I heard the essence of what happened from your partner, the archer, but she refused to share the details. So you tell me.”

”As expected from that naive girl…”

”So you aren’t naive?”

“…I used to be like that too, but in this awful place, I learned what despair and humiliation are. I’m not brazen enough to hide anything from the savior who awakened me from this nightmare.”

I learned something useful. If you save those whose soul and body have been tortured, they are good at cooperating.

Problem: It’s a little…

Miss Trainee. It’s not my fault.

This is due to the inhabitants of the fantasy world who refuse to cooperate with the Hero who will save their entire world. They flutter their tongues with a smile on their face with the words: “Hero. If you fulfill this request, I will tell you a secret.” I’m tired of this nonsense.

If it’s one request, they are at least a well-mannered person. Ill-mannered idiots simply drive the Hero crazy, arranging a “chain of quests.” These bastards have no right to be saved.

And the elf archer was no exception. When I asked her to tell me what happened, she only avoided answering with the words: “Thank you for saving me, but I cannot disclose information related to the royal family.”

Of course, I already knew the truth. But this is only due to the knowledge about the future obtained from the regression and not because these selfish and stupid residents cooperated.

”Tell me.”

But there was a good solution. If someone gets into a situation that people under the age of 19 shouldn’t know about, they become accommodating to their savior. You need to remember.

”Yes. So…”

The wife of the king of the elves aspired to the world of humans. She was very fond of the culture of humans whose lives were short but energetic. Therefore, she visited the village of humans, and she didn’t hide her long ears.

Elves who choose to live in the human kingdom don’t necessarily become slaves. There were few such cases. As seen at the black market auction, most of all, there were slaves of the human race because the race didn’t play a major role.

Once you are a slave, you are a slave. And that day was the same as the others. The queen left her lazy husband, who was too lazy not only to train but also to carry out his marital duties, and took a vacation. Of course, the queen couldn’t travel alone.

Next to her were the five knights that Elfheim was so proud of.

Earth Knight (Swordsman)

Fire Knight (Mage)

Wind Knight (Archer)

Water Knight (Healer)

Ether Knight (Tamer)

The knights guarding the queen were chosen from among the “strongest girls” and matched the five attributes of the Spirits. Why didn’t they choose men? Because female knights also played the role of maidservants who, 24 hours a day, replacing each other, helped the queen.

“So you are the Ether Knight?”

”Yes.”

”Are there any more survivors?”

Until now, I had gathered two knights: Wind and Ether. All this awakened in me was a desire for collecting.

”I don’t know. But before we split up, everyone was alive.”

“Is that so…?”

“I will continue.”

In one of the villages of the central continent, the queen met an eloquent man. It was a bard who sang with a guitar in a pub. His song was about an epic story related to the Demon Lord.

”Indeed…”

I generally understood what had happened.

”That wandering bard stuck to the queen with obscene conversations, but instead of irritation, the queen smiled and supported such talk…”

”And then the truth was revealed that she was a queen?”

”Yes. It was also partly her fault. She was impressed by the stories about the ardent passion and power of the Demon Lord, and she provoked him, saying that he should try to moisten the queen’s dried up swamp…I refined the words.”

And the words became seeds. The wandering bard turned out to be a follower of demons and reported to the high demon about the appearance of the Elven Queen in the village. As a result, the Demon won. The knights were defeated, and the queen was kidnapped.

”…That’s all?”

Then it was pretty disappointing.

“The Queen has done strange things for a long time. She was a frequent visitor to the black market auctions, despite the attempts to eliminate the Dark Commerce in our kingdom. The pretext was the peaceful salvation of fellow tribesmen who are sold as slaves. But she attended the auction even when it wasn’t slaves that were being sold there. It seemed like she was looking for something.”

”Something?”

”Yes. But I wasn’t particularly interested. Perhaps the Knight of Earth, who wasn’t very pleased that the queen was traveling through the land of humans, knows something.”

“The Earth Knight…the swordsman?”

”Yes. This is a companion whose body is as strong as the earth.”

If she says so, then they are somehow connected. That stupid chain quest! I could ask the queen herself, who was building a new love with the Demon Lord, but I’d rather leave that option as a last resort.

”Where did you see her last time?”

“She fled east with the Water Knight she always paired with. Due to the sincere request of the queen, whom the demon captured alive, we weren’t killed, but after that, the demon’s followers, including the bard, still attacked us. We were weakened by the curse of the demon, so we had no choice but to split up and run in different directions.”

I heard the same thing from Archer E. The tirade of the elf tamer was long, but there was a while before the dummies returned, so I decided to be patient.

”That’s all?”

I will be extremely disappointed if she just ends her speech with thanks. Fortunately, this elf had a conscience.

“All I have left after the orcs took everything is insignificant information and my body. If you wish, I can give you this body too, but it was desecrated by the orcs, so you will hardly want…”

This was a bias, but now I decided to just listen quietly. She said that she had only a little information and her body, but I think that this information will be interesting.

The Hero’s 25 years of experience hadn’t gone anywhere as I expected.

“While fleeing the demon’s followers, I grabbed a dragon egg. On the way, a monster attacked me, and I dropped it, but I remember the location.”

Dragon egg? This is a good chance to improve my taming skill

”You pass.”

”What?”

”That means I like you.”

Unlike some, she didn’t flutter her tongue in vain. In any case, I decided to adjust the plans.

I would find that egg first.

”So, where is it?”

”Well…”

After listening to Tamer E’s explanations, I imagined a map of the central continent in my head. It wasn’t that far.

The only problem is that it is close to the nest of the King Dragon of Oblivion Noebius.
