Chapter 170 Divine Bird
"God...?"
We are heading towards The Forest of Divine Beasts.
It seems that the source of the disease spreading among the elves is there.
"What kind of creature is it?"
"Do you know about the Phoenix?"
The Phoenix...
I feel like I've heard about it in stories before...
Then, my buddy, Mercury-san, nodded and explained.
"It's a legendary divine beast that governs death and rebirth. Its tears can heal any wound, and drinking its blood grants immortality."
"Hmm."
"Hmm? That's... amazing, right?"
"Is it really? Painkillers (Elixir) can heal any wound, and there are plenty of immortal people in my village too, you know?"
"Don't compare it to the monsters of Dead End! And it's Elixir, not painkillers! It's a precious medicine!"
Mercury sighed heavily.
I immediately handed her the Elixir.
"The Phoenix is rarely seen in the mortal world, but it was managed by the elves."
"That's right. They lived in The Forest of Divine Beasts, providing us with healing. The elves lived in a place far removed from the mundane world, relying on the Phoenix for healing instead of medicine."
They relied on the tears of the Phoenix, not on magic or medicine...
I see...
"You didn't use healing magic?"
"No. Magic is not something to be used lightly. It is a divine miracle."
Then, Mercury-san adds some explanation here.
"For the elves, magic is a sacred existence. They don't use it for everyday matters like we do."
"Wow... Mercury-san is truly knowledgeable!"
Mercury-san self-deprecatingly says, "Well, besides explaining things, I'm always losing to Leaf-kun..."
That's not true!
"Mercury-san has some great qualities, you know!"
"Hey, Leaf-kun... like where?"
"Breasts!"
"You perverted brat...!"
