Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 133 The Arb Elves' Secret - Part 2: The Reason



Her eyes were worth seeing. She was surprised beyond her limits when Shin told her about the Body-Age varialization.

Also, he told her about that specifically.

Their secret was revealed all of a sudden, of course, not everyone came to know that.

It was only Shin who found that out.

"How…?"

"How did you know about that?"

"Who told you!?", she asked.

She was profusely sweating because that secret wasn't supposed to be told to anyone.

If once anyone came to know about that, they could use the elves to their advantage too.

That was why, their weakness had to be concealed and they had been doing a rather good job all these years, unfortunately, Shin had arrived and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't prevent Shin from knowing that.

'What should I do?'

'Should I kill him?'

'That way our secret will remain as it is…', was the thought that popped up in her mind.

Of course, that could serve as the best way to silence someone so that they couldn't reveal their secret.

Unfortunately, the elf in front of Shin wasn't that great at thinking.

p Although she acted as if she was someone great with tons of experience, she seemed no different than a novice.

"Listen, I think I know why you guys are being suffered by this…", Shin said in a low voice.

"Eh?"

She was surprised when she heard that.

"You know the reason for our suffering?", she asked.

"Yes…", Shin nodded his head.

Actually, all the elves knew about was that their bodies would undergo changes as they moved towards the edges, but the exact reason was known to none.

So how did Shin find out?

Did the system tell him?

No, he thought about that for himself while analyzing the difference between the edges and the deeper parts.

He found that there was just one major difference that separated the deeper parts and the edges or outside – mana.

"Mana, that is the reason your bodies are undergoing changes…", was what Shin said.

"Mana?"

Of course, mana was something like a fuel used for magic, but that was the reason causing the changes in the elves' bodies?

"I didn't understand…", the elf wanted Shin to explain clearly and Shin did precisely what she expected.

"I think…"

"No, I believe that…"

"Your bodies are sensitive to mana…"

"The sensitiveness is over the top and due to that, your bodies are directly affected by it."

"When you are in a mana-rich region, your body remains fresh and in the youth period."

"However as soon as the mana in the surrounding starts to decrease, your body slowly wrinkles and ends up aging quite rapidly…"

This did seem a bit weird, but it was a satisfactory explanation.

"So mana is causing the problems in our bodies?", her eyes were wide open when she said that.

It was as if some big truth was uncovered and yes, that was indeed the case.

After all, they had been trying to figure out the reason but until now they failed no matter what they thought of.

She lowered her head after knowing the reason.

She was sad of course and the reason for that was simple – elves were beings that were closely related to mana and could use it in a much better manner when compared to other beasts.

So they essentially praised mana and worshiped it often – it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had a separate day called Mana Day.

After knowing that mana was the root cause of their long-disease, she felt heartbroken.

"Does Mo know about this?", Shin asked.

She shook her head.

"This is a secret only among us elves…", was what she said.

"I see…", Shin paused and thought about it for a moment.

'I wonder how much these elves love and respect Mo…'

'They were more than ready to go and die while guiding us till the potion…', Shin smiled a bit but that smile was filled with admiration and sadness.

"Well, just draw a map for us…"

"We will use that map and go and find the potion."

"I think it's best if you return from here…", was what Shin said.

She couldn't possibly disagree.

If she could provide a map, then there would be no need for her to even go with them.

It was practically pointless to come this far if she could literally provide them a map.

"Yes, I can give you that, but will you be able to converse with the witch?", she asked.

"Witch?", for the first time he had heard that term in this world.

"Yes, the witch of potions, she lives far in the forest almost in the edges…"

'I see, so there was indeed someone that could make potions…', Shin concluded.

Initially, he thought that he would find the potion somewhere which was actually ridiculous.

"Hmm, do you know her personally?", Shin asked.

"No, I don't know her either but my great-great grandmother knew her, so I think she would help us…", she said.

"Huh?"

"Then you could have gone and brought the potion yourself right…?"

"Why-"

Shin paused, he realized that the elves would end up being dead if they were to go that far in the forest.

"Despite knowing the fact that you would end up being dead, you still accompanied us…"

"You are brave and are selfish…", Shin nodded his head.

She smiled a bit when she heard that and said nothing else.

"It's fine, don't worry, just give the map…"

"I will go and take care of this matter.", he said in a low voice with a grin.

For the first time, an elf trusted someone else.

She trusted Shin and gave the map and returned almost immediately before Terran could actually come back with the fruits.

Terran successfully brought the fruits which Shin had asked to bring earlier.

"Here master, I could get only two…", he was panting because he had to overexert himself in a body that was somewhat foreign to him.

"Huh?"

"Where did she go master?", Terran asked.

Shin didn't say anything and just smiled right after which he took a bite from the yellowish golden fruit.

'Crunch'

"…"
