by adminEpisode 92 – The Giving Tree 7 –
The half-elf rushed at my provocation.
Luna Kerenil was taken aback by such a sight.
It’s not because I’m worried about losing.
They are worried about how to resolve the issue.
Even if half-elves are discriminated against in elven society.
First of all, you are a member.
If they become involved in a conflict with an outsider, they will naturally side with the half-elves.
‘So it has to be like this. ‘Because the person I have to meet is decided.’
If this land were an empire, we would be able to meet with the help of the Chancellor, Alice, or someone else.
But this land is Abenheim, the land of the elves.
Most of what I have doesn’t work on elves.
So you have to use something like this.
The trial will have to be conducted by the elder himself.
“I’m dying!!!!!”
A half-elf running towards you excitedly.
But unfortunately, half-elves were not combatants.
High-ranking positions in Abenheim are usually held by pureblood elves.
The same goes for searchers.
This is a job that obtains items that cannot be obtained on one’s own within Abenheim.
This is because it is the only occupation that allows you to travel outside, so it is admired by elves.
And, elves who are not seekers have no power.
Pangㅡ
The elf is just pushed away by the palm of my hand that I lightly push.
No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t look like he had trained his Aurors.
However, it wasn’t like he had trained his magic.
There was no way he would charge like that if he wasn’t a battle mage.
And Battle Mage learns Auror.
Archers, elementalists, and many others. Even after considering all possibilities, the conclusion was that this guy was powerless.
So, I was about to extend my fist to the half-elf to stun him.
[The price is 20kg of gold. What it achieves is the temporary restraint of the bodies of two individuals.]
Words flow from Luna Kerenil’s mouth.
The words are literally embodied in letters.
The letters become real and come to our surroundings.
The bright yellow letters eventually bind our bodies like chains.
The half-elf was taken aback by that sight.
I was even more embarrassed.
This is because I have no idea what kind of ability it is.
‘The price is 20kg of gold? Are you holding us together for a moment with that? Something like this… Unique magic power?’
Of course, if you apply force, it will come loose.
Even now, my body, strengthened by aura enhancements, could not withstand it and was slowly breaking down.
However, Luna Kerenil used unique magic.
As someone who did not know the unique magic, it was difficult to act.
This is because unique magic can be overwhelming in certain areas, as can be seen from the bishop who kidnapped me.
In that frozen situation, Luna Kerenil opened her mouth.
“Oh my… my money… ”
hmm. It looks like they redeemed my body in exchange for money.
While I was figuring out her unique magic, she shot me.
“What on earth are you thinking? Abraxas English.? Can you explain it properly?”
“Let go of this! I have to defeat that guy somehow… !”
“Half-elf. I guess you don’t know because I’m watching. You can’t move now, can you? I am free to cut your head off, so just stay still.”
She answers with an angry voice.
However, the half-elf did not lose to him either.
“So what does it matter to you!! I’m interested in that guy! You insulted me!”
“I’m guessing that person was trying to put you in a vegetative state or kill you?
That person is only doing this because he doesn’t know his abilities. If you try to quit, you can quit. How can you win when there is such a gap in skill?”
no way. What do you think of me?
It won’t turn you into a vegetative state.
Just pull out the eyes and release them around.
Then, since their mouths are intact, they will go around and shout that humans made them like this.
Then, high-ranking officials will come looking for me without me having to spread it.
You could say it’s cruel. Unlike Korea, physical disabilities are not a big deal in this place where there is divine power.
I wouldn’t have done anything wrong if I had asked a saint to treat me later.
‘If a trial is held like that, it will be a trial of high-ranking nobles of the empire, so I will definitely be able to meet high-ranking officials. And I just have to leave a hint.’
Then you will be able to meet the elders.
But Luna Kerenil stopped me.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but no. If your perception of people gets worse, you won’t be able to do business on this earth, right?”
“Yes, but. It’s important to me to achieve my goal.”
“I thought they were trying to commit terrorism because they ordered a bomb… The purpose is a trial, right?
Then isn’t there another way? Preferably in a way that does not worsen human perception.”
“That’s right.”
“Then I will help you with that, so please do not do anything that will worsen your perception of humanity. Then I will use my unique magic to help you.”
Oh my.
It wasn’t what I wanted, but I got a decent hand.
I wonder how powerful Luna Kerenil is.
Still, a competent person is a competent person.
Since there are beings that I may have to deal with, the more skilled people there are, the better.
“Wait! How dare you do that to yourself! I am against it!”
“This is a treaty between the two of us, so there is no reason for a third party to intervene. If you want to block it, you can block it with force.”
“I’m going to block it, so solve this quickly! Won’t you solve it?”
“I tried to stop it by force, but it failed. Take a look right now.”
Luna Kerenil gave me a look.
It read the signal and responded immediately.
Kaangㅡ
After I augmented the body by pushing the aura between the muscles.
As soon as I applied strength, my body, which had been held tightly by Luna Kerenil’s unique magic, was freed.
The effect was too insignificant to be the restraint of 20kg of gold.
It would be roughly over 1 billion.
And the half-elf’s face was filled with astonishment as I casually released the restraints I had been trying so hard to escape.
However, in a corner of my mind, I suspected that my restraints might be weak, so I immediately used force to break the chains that were restraining the half-elf.
“No way… ”
Unlike before, the half-elf did not show much of a reaction even though the restraints were released.
As Luna Kerenil said, he must have felt that I could have killed him.
There is nothing directly wrong with this child.
The elves who discriminate against half-elves are greatly at fault.
So I said something hopeful.
“ character. It seems like it’s been resolved for now, so to speak. In the first place, I can’t say anything because there are so many individual differences between elves, humans, and other things.
The strongest on the elf side right now is the guardian, right? However, on the human side, there are three strong people who are comparable to the Guardians. Of course, we have to take into account that the human population is much larger. Because elves live that long.”
“So what… ”
“If you think you’re funny, you’re really funny. It’s just that strong guys aren’t funny. There is not much difference between races.”
“What was that… ”
“If you become as strong as the guardian of the World Tree, no one will ignore you. Of course, there may be people who ignore it.”
“Then it means nothing.”
“It doesn’t mean anything. Then you go out and create something new. There will be elves who will follow Guardian-level force and moderate ideology.”
Of course, it would be difficult for that elf to gain the level of strength of a guardian.
This is because elf culture has a tendency to take it easy because they live long lives.
Of course, this is a problem in this society.
But it would be wrong to turn it outward.
Germans during World War II also had reasons to fall for the Nazis.
But that doesn’t mean it’s right.
“Then let’s go! Mr. Luna!”
“Ugh. really. What on earth does a person go through to have thoughts like that? ”
If Luna Kerenil lived my life, would it be the same?
To that extent, reincarnation is a mysterious experience.
Of course, I had no intention of talking, so I just headed somewhere else.
If you have lost access to the Presbyterian Church through unusual means. Now it was time to meet with the Presbyterian Church through normal means.
========
“Where is this again?”
“Probably. This is where the president, professors, and elf elders meet.”
“No. I understand that, but why did you come here?”
“My purpose is to have a meeting with the elder. Unless you are a member of the royal family, your identity will not be relevant to elves. After meeting, I tried to achieve my goal.”
It seems that if you look for a normal route, you can somehow find it.
‘But it’s dangerous considering what I’ll do.’
To the elves, the World Tree and its guardian are living gods themselves.
A being that has protected the Elves since the fall of the Elven Empire tens of thousands of years ago.
As it could be a direct harm to those who existed before the existence of Seonghwangcheong.
Naturally, there is bound to be political controversy.
If I don’t know my purpose, others will block it.
Excluding Alice, we cannot tell the truth about Ygrasil, so this should not go through the official route.
That’s why it gets a little easier if Luna Kerenil is with you.
As a merchant, he usually tries to avoid political disputes as much as possible, so there was a high possibility that he would block me.
‘Of course, worsening public sentiment is more fatal to merchants than political unrest, so they cooperated with me.’
Anyway, the important thing is that she said she would help me.
So I beckoned her to hide in a suitable place and wait for the others to come out.
Clap~
As I wait for the right moment, people start to come out the door.
My eyes catch the sight of the faculty, president, and elf elders coming out to take a short break.
They come together for a moment, probably because they had something to talk about.
Now it’s Luna Kerenil’s turn to help.
“Can only we hear that?”
“That’s easy. The price is as much as necessary. The result is that their sound barrier becomes nullified only by us.”
I don’t know what the technology is, but it’s an amazing technology.
First of all, you can’t use it carelessly because the cost is high, but it will be even stronger in actual battle.
If there were no limits to that skill, I might lose even if I fought with all my might.
I’m not sure because I’ve never seen the limit, and even if I win Luna Kerenil, the nth percentile of my wealth will be gone.
As if there was a hole in an invisible wall, sound only reaches us.
It’s nothing special. Even on Earth, one-way speakers existed just fine.
It’s just amazing to experience something on this earth that wasn’t used even on Earth.
“So who is the culprit who leaked the branches of the World Tree?”
“If you want to find it for sure, you have to bring a saint with you… ”
“For saints… At the moment, it is difficult to get to the tip of the southeastern part. There doesn’t seem to be any way.”
The saint looks to the past.
Therefore, if you want to catch a crime, the easiest way is to bring a saint with you.
However, a huge number of incidents occur, and the limit is 5 saints.
Moreover, the saint is not a stigmata, but one of the symbols of the Holy Emperor.
Other schedules also exist.
That’s why the saint is always busy.
Because my schedule was full, I couldn’t come to this country.
In the case of a healing saint, stigmata is not a specialty for predicting the future. Since this rider is the golden rider, he entered the academy for political purposes.
In fact, other saints are so busy that they cannot be mobilized for such trivial matters.
‘Of course it’s not a trivial matter. It’s not the responsibility of Seonghwangcheong.’
The Holy Emperor’s Office is in charge of groups such as the Evil God Cult, the Lion Corps, and demons.
Abenheim is definitely a country.
It is the domain of the leaders of each country, not the domain of the Holy Emperor.
“Now to the other side.”
I turned my gaze towards the elf.
Luna Kerenil manipulated some kind of magic and suddenly, instead of hearing the professors’ stories, unfamiliar voices began to be heard.
It was the voice of elf elders.
“I can’t believe the great World Tree was so easily exposed… It even happened that way, avoiding the guardian’s eyes… I don’t know what to do.”
“There must be a traitor inside! Otherwise, how can you avoid the guardian’s eyes… !”
“Stop talking! Of course, there is a possibility that they are traitors, but there is no way they can avoid the guardian’s eyes just because they are elders! Rather, there is a high possibility that it was accurately aimed at the guardian with skills such as unique magic or Auror awakening!”
“Didn’t the president of the Imperial Academy also experience something similar? Rather, this seems more likely.
It is said that even if it is not enough in terms of force, it may be superior in certain areas such as unique magic or Auror awakening.”
“But the guardian said he did not hear any sound from the plant.”
“I guess plants are also something to fool.”
On the other side, the elf elders were continuing their conversation.
Of course, we were talking secretly without the professors hearing. It was no use to us.
‘I’m more worried about the fact that it was exported than the branch that was definitely exported.’
The World Tree is, first of all, the god of the elves.
The by-product of such a world tree is something similar to the body of a god.
Leaves are like fingernails or hair. The branches are about the size of a finger.
But that’s just the position, it’s not a loss.
It’s not really a loss since I didn’t take the idea out anyway.
Regardless of the fact that the Eucharist in Catholicism is considered very important as it is a symbol of God.
It’s similar to just plain flour dough.
Of course, it is true that it is of great value.
For the elves who monopolize it, it is a loss worth losing.
‘But the stolen eggplant is not the problem. ‘The ‘stolen’ branches are the problem.’
It’s okay if the eggplants are taken out.
The fact that it was taken out is itself a problem.
The guardian of the World Tree is a being who can communicate with plants.
Therefore, you must escape not only from the eyes of the guardian of the World Tree, but also from the eyes of all plants.
So, the fact that it was taken out without the guardian’s knowledge means, on the other hand, that there is a way to deceive the guardian’s power, so we have no choice but to worry.
In Korea, it would be similar to someone breaking into the president’s office, dancing naked, and then running away.
There is no damage other than the president’s mental health, but the fact that someone broke in is a problem.
The elves had many conversations.
There were no special measures.
There is no way for a single elder to surpass a guardian who derives results through plants.
That’s why we called humans, but even humans had no solution right now.
“So what should we do now…? ”
And a familiar voice is heard among them.
It may have been inevitable that something familiar would stand out among unfamiliar things.
‘found.’
The person I was looking for.
The real culprit who leaked the branches of the World Tree.
Elf elder. Perwell.
18 hours after arriving in Abenheim.
He finally caught my eye.
========
Once upon a time. A long time ago. When the Kingdom of Helios was just named the Empire of Helium.
A boy came to the wizard’s house.
In the past, since the magic tower under the Magic Tower was not controlled, it was common for each village to have a magician.
“Wizard! I have a question.” The boy asked the wizard.
“What are you curious about? ”The wizard answered the boy kindly.
The boy jumped around, happy that the wizard had responded to his answer.
The excited boy immediately spoke to the wizard. “What is the difference between humans and animals?”
said the wizard. “Hehe. The question is wrong. Humans are also animals. Of course, that’s not the animal you’re talking about. Animals refer to creatures other than humans.”
The boy was young. Every child had to be taught one by one. This is because they lack judgment.
“Then what is the difference between humans and animals?” In a way, the boy asked the wizard what was obvious.
Anyone else would have found it difficult to explain, but a wizard is someone who teaches others.
The wizard was able to fully explain that fact to the boy.
“The species are different. And the standard for dividing species is that a person called A and a person B can have children.
The offspring are also of the same species if they can have offspring. If you don’t meet both requirements, you are a different species.” The wizard said.
The boy was impressed by the wizard’s neat answer.
This is because it was an explanation that even non-smart people could easily understand.
“Aha! So, if a child born between two people can make a child, then they are of the same species! We call animals of different species beasts. ” The boy said after gaining enlightenment.
“Accurate.” The wizard said.
“Then. I have a question.” The boy asked.
The wizard was ready to accept any number of questions from the boy.
However, the wizard was taken aback by the boy’s next question.
“Then what is ■■? What should I classify it as?” When the boy’s question reached the wizard, the wizard could not help but be taken aback by the unexpected question.
Columbus’s Egg.
A term that refers to a topic that is easy to think about but difficult to recall.
The question of the boy like Columbus’s egg made the wizard think for the first time in a very long time.
And the wizard could not answer that question.
