Fortunately, the knights guarding Tamar’s border had a rough idea of which side the entrance was on.
Because Kendrick used the command to prevent them from revealing Tamar’s secret, we were able to find the entrance with the guidance of the knights without worrying about the secret being leaked.
‘Fortunately, I found the entrance.’
Whoosh.
I jumped off the shadow wolf’s back.
We reached the entrance safely, but the area purified by Kendrick’s ability was still completely obscured, so we couldn’t see the path.
‘You can’t go in by mistake.’
I looked at the entrance to the land of Tamar with worried eyes.
The area that was purified was only a small part of the land of Tamar.
It is said that it is spreading more and more widely and purifying the surrounding area.
Still, the road leading to the purified place was very narrow.
If we took even one wrong step, we would surely die from Tamar’s curse.
‘Should I be the only one to go in?’
If I couldn’t figure out the way, I felt like I would have to go in alone.
The reason the land of Tamar was purified in the first place was when I entered the land of Tamar.
Maybe I won’t die if I go in wrong. But Arsene.
‘Arsene can’t.’
Arsene had no healing ability. As soon as he enters the land of Tamar, he may die.
I looked back at him, intending to leave Arsene behind and go in alone.
And just as I was about to call Arsene’s name.
“Ar—”
“Wait, Linsy”
Arsene moved forward before I could stop him.
And he stretched out his hand towards the land of Tamar, which was completely hidden in shadow.
“Arsene?”
Under Arsene’s fingertips, shadows began to slowly gather.
Little by little, little by little.
The shadows came together to create a round sphere.
Arsene frowned slightly.
The shadow wolf suddenly stood tall and watched us quietly.
I tapped Arsene on the shoulder and asked.
“Arsene, are you okay?”
“This much is okay.”
Arsene responded as if it were no big deal and slightly bent his fingertips.
Then the shadows slowly gathered under Arsene’s hand, and then
Srrrk—.
Kendrick’s ability was slightly lifted, and the hidden entrance was finally revealed.
Arsene wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Through the shadows, I could catch a glimpse of the green grass.
I glanced up at Arsene.
‘When did he grow up so much?’
Apparently, the only ability Arsene could use was Shadow Wolf.
He can even take away Kendrick’s abilities!
Since Arsene and Kendrick share the same ability under the name of Yeckhart, is it possible to remove Kendrick’s ability in this way?
At that time, Arsene turned to me and said,
I nodded obediently and held Arsene’s hand.
Silver hair shone in the moonlight and glistened like a water scale.
At that time,
“….”
From afar, the shadow wolf looked at the forest we had just come through.
Arsene wondered if it was strange that the shadow wolf didn’t follow him right away, and asked as he rubbed the back of the shadow wolf’s neck.
“What’s the matter?”
“….”
The shadow wolf tilted its head for a moment, then followed us into the land of Tamar.
***
“Nonsense! There were people who could enter Tamar!”
A man wearing a black hood muttered in an excited voice.
At that time, the shadow wolf turned its head and looked at the place where the man was hiding.
‘Oh my, did we get caught?’
The man erased his presence and stared at the shadow wolf, covering his mouth with both hands.
Fortunately, the shadow wolf turned his head, probably thinking he had seen something wrong.
Only then did the man relax, sitting down on the damp dirt floor and staring blankly at the land of Tamar.
It has been rewarding to follow in the footsteps of those two!
The man kept muttering.
He held his breath and looked out into the distance at the border of the land of Tamar.
Just now, he saw it clearly with his own two eyes.
When Arsene Yeckhart stretched out his hand, the veil of darkness that had covered the land of Tamar for a very long time lifted, and green vegetation was glimpsed through the gap.
‘It’s blue.’
How long has it been since I saw such a color in the land of Tamar? At least not in this life.
No, the previous life. Previous life…
Now he can’t even remember the last time he saw the land of Tamar before it was cursed.
And Arsene and Linsy stepped into it familiarly.
It didn’t seem like they had been in there once or twice. The man, who was trembling with joy while wearing a black hood, quickly took off the hood.
Then a bizarrely distorted face appeared.
More than half of the eyelids of the two trembling eyes were missing, and the skin on the face was saggy, making him look like an old man.
The nose was turned upward and the mouth was torn horizontally, giving it a shape that was difficult to regard as a normal prisoner.
The man instinctively stretched out his hand as if trying to get closer to the land of Tamar, but then quickly took it back.
‘No, I can’t.’
He couldn’t run away now and ruin all this.
Moreover, at the border of Tamar land, right in front of where they entered, Yeckhart’s knights stood tall and guarded the entrance.
It was clear that if they caught him now, everything he had accomplished so far would be in vain.
In the end, the man suppressed the urge to crawl into the land of Tamar right now and dropped his hand.
‘If that person knows, surely…!’
He would certainly be very happy.
He probably didn’t expect a harvest like this, but he unexpectedly delivered good news.
As expected, what he said was right. That’s right. That’s right.
A man with a very distorted face muttered non-stop, his face turning red as if he were happy.
‘As expected, that girl is ◆◆.’
He was absolutely right.
To complete all of this, they definitely needed that girl.
If only that girl…
The man clenched his fists.
The plan would soon be completed.
The success of what had been prepared for over thousands of years was now approaching.
The man hopped on his horse, suppressing his desire to immediately bring the girl over and start the ritual.
The man got on. The black horse stepped slowly to his feet, without a trace of his eyes, mane, hooves, or even the tongue in his mouth.

“But what should I take? We forgot to ask that.”
I asked Arsene seriously while holding his wrist.
Among these many plants, I didn’t know which one to pick.
“Mr. Hern said ‘everything that grows in Tamar,’ so I guess it doesn’t matter.”
Arsene responded.
I squinted my eyes for a moment and thought about it.
“No, probably not.”
And he shook his head.
A huge tree stands tall in the middle of the land of Tamar.
I picked a basket full of leaves from the tree and the flowers growing underneath it.
Since Kendrick couldn’t have received anything other than that to study, the ‘Tamar grass’ that Mr. Hern spoke of was probably the stuff that fell from that huge tree.
Arsene heard this and nodded, saying it made sense.
“Let’s go; we have to get it back quickly. Because we need time to manufacture the medicine.”
I nodded.
We walked along the road faster than usual and arrived at a place where a huge tree stood tall.
But there was a problem.
“…Huh?”
Under the tree, there were no fallen leaves.
Originally, there was rainwater under the tree, but where did it all go?
I looked at Arsene in great confusion. However, Arsene seemed equally embarrassed.
“…What is this?”
There are no leaves under the trees?
I stared at the tree.
However, the condition of the tree was strange.
The once green leaves were curled inward as if trying to protect something, and the tree trunks were dry and crumbly.
I thought for a moment, then put down the basket with a solemn expression.
“What are you going to do, Linsy?”
“I have to go up and get it!”
And I stamped my foot.
Pong—!
A familiar explosion sound. Then, as soon as visibility became low, I spread my wings wide.
Arsene and the shadow wolf were seen spinning at his feet and moving away.
‘We have to hurry.’
We desperately needed these leaves now.
Arsene motioned, and the shadow wolf quickly followed me up the tree trunk.
I quickly reached the top of the tree, sat down on it, and nipped at a leaf with my beak.
However,
“…Chirp!”
Fortunately, the knights guarding Tamar’s border had a rough idea of which side the entrance was on.
Because Kendrick used the command to prevent them from revealing Tamar’s secret, we were able to find the entrance with the guidance of the knights without worrying about the secret being leaked.
