Chapter 481 The duke’s visit (22)

When I came over, I found that it was Moon who had called out for us.

She was standing over the corpses of one of the elves, the one that had been chosen as the representative by the others.

In her hand, there was this strange thing that looked like some kind of seal.

As for the expression on her face, she had a very deep frown.

Seeing that I came over, she raised the thing in her hand for me to see and had a look on her face as if she expected me to know what this was.

However, I really didn't know what it was, which was strange.

After all, I did have intensive knowledge about this world because of how much I had played the game that this world was based on. If there was anyone that should have recognized these things, it would have been me.

Seeing the look on my face, Moon explained, "This is a mind control seal."

I looked at her with a shocked look when I heard this before looking at her with a look of disbelief. The way that I looked at her, it was almost as if I was trying to tell if she was being serious or not.

But Moon's expression didn't change at all after saying this.

It seemed that she wasn't kidding about this, but I still didn't really understand what this thing was.

Based on the name, it should be something that was used to control the mind of whoever it was used on. However, that didn't really explain how much control they had and to what extent they would be able to control them.

Moon once again saw the look on my face and said, "It was used to control the Goblin General, that was why those monsters came right at us."

This time, I deeply knitted my brows when I heard this.

I had already figured that the monsters charging at us was part of their plan, but I never expected the elves to be able to do something like this.

Mind control, this was something that wasn't as explored in the game as one might think.

Even though it was a H-game, it was too difficult to implement mind control because of how much freedom there was in the game. Mind control would affect too many different variables, so the company had decided to avoid adding it to the game.

Though that didn't mean that mind control didn't exist.

In the flavour text of the game, there were mentions of mind control items that could be used.

Though there had never been a mind control item that was made available to the player.

The elves with their importance on freedom used something like this that would take away the freedom of others, it really seemed contradictory.

But the more important thing was that if they had this, didn't that mean that they would also have things that would be able to control the minds of others? 

If this was the case, then wasn't the village and elves back in the village in trouble?

As soon as I realized this, I looked at Moon who was looking at me, as if she was waiting for my opinion.

I looked at her for a moment and then with a deep breath, I said, "Go if you feel you need to go."

Moon bit her lip when she heard this, but in the end, she said, "I'll leave a few of them with you to guide you back to town."

I gave a nod before walking over to take her hand and pat the back of it.

I didn't know what to say to make it better and I knew that there wasn't much that I could even say in the first place that would make her feel better.

So all I could do was show that I supported her no matter what.

After a moment of silence, Moon looked up at me and said, "Thank you."

Then without any hesitation, she gathered the elves together and they split into two groups.

One that would head back to the village with her and the other that would lead us back to town.

As they walked off, I couldn't help staring in the direction that Moon's group headed off in.

I didn't know when we would be able to meet again, but I knew that this definitely wasn't over yet.

With a sigh, I went back to the carriage with the duke and his family before heading back to town.

As we were sitting in the carriage, there was a silence that hung in the air.

It was clear that all of us had different thoughts and no one was saying a thing, so we just remained silent until we reached the town.

When we arrived back, it didn't take long before Rose and Haley came to meet us.

I had people call them over as soon as possible.

When they saw the state that we were in, they quickly arranged everything and we met in a secret room in the manor.

The only ones that were in this room were me, Rose, Haley, Cecilia, and Shaka.

Though Shaka could be considered part outsider, he had become a part of the town that we couldn't do without and had no choice but to involve him in this meeting.

Once we sat down, I looked at Rose and Haley and told them about what happened.

After they heard the story, they both had worried looks on their faces.

After all, they could understand what this story meant for us.

Cooperation with the elves was one of the things that we relied on since we had many parts of our town that relied on elven magic. It wasn't like this before, but living with elves for some time had changed our town like this.

I didn't even know about it since I had left everything to Rose and Haley.

When it was over, Rose asked me, "What do we do now?"

I shook my head and said, "There's nothing that we can do other than wait."

We just had to wait and see what Moon had for us.
