‘What method should I use now?’
Guardian of the World Tree.
I’ve seen this person before in WFS, but I was able to meet him at the Human Federation because he was visiting due to the Lion Corps.
I also don’t know how we actually meet.
First of all, it is difficult to meet him because he is the actual highest authority in Abenheim.
Because he is strong, he will not be assassinated, but there is still something in case.
However, if you cannot meet the Spirit King, the only remaining beings at this point are the Guardian and the World Tree.
Except that the World Tree is a plant, so the only way to communicate is with a guardian who can communicate with the plant.
All that remains is the guardian.
So, if you want to meet, you have to think of another way.
At least something worth meeting.
“Where were you?”
Since I have nothing to do, let’s join the group of cadets who came on a field trip.
Alice seemed to have been looking for me before and approached me warmly.
I also welcomed her warmly.
“I just have something to take care of.”
“If you asked me to help you, I could help you.”
“If the royal family intervenes, in the worst case scenario, it could lead to war.”
Of course, if everything is decided later, I will ask Alice for help.
But that was back then.
It’s still too early.
“So what are you all doing?”
“The word is experiential learning, but everyone is just having fun. In the first place, the main purpose of Wol’s Magic Scene was entertainment, with experience taking a back seat, so in a way, it is natural.”
Nearby, an elf guide was explaining about Abenheim.
It is designed so that you can have various experiences with plants.
It was just an ordinary appearance.
If I were to go on an experiential learning trip to Somalia, it would be roughly like this.
‘I wondered if there was something special about replacing the Demon Lord of the Moon… but. ‘When can I visit here again?’
According to the circumstances, this place will only be opened after the creation of the Human Union.
Because of their characteristics, elves were extremely vulnerable to the Lion Corps even though they were advantageous to the Evil God Church.
There was no room for the faith of the Evil God Church to infiltrate the elves who believed in the World Tree instead of the Heavenly God and the Evil God.
This was especially true because he was an elf who was not particularly dissatisfied with life.
But the Lion Corps is different.
For elves, who are skilled in elemental magic and plant-based techniques, the lion army that uses black magic and necromantic magic, which act as a direct counter to spiritual entities, is bound to be fatal.
‘It was even more difficult since we had to use necromancy to make the soul reside in the plant.’
The Lion Legion was a perfect counter to the Elves.
Because of that, the elves open this land similar to that time to deal with the lion army.
It was also at this time that the story about the branches of the World Tree was revealed.
Therefore, it may be absurd for a Guardian who has not yet felt threatened to search for someone.
‘The reason I was able to come this time… This is because of a major incident where the Demon Lord of Wol disappeared. So why didn’t anyone try to invite anyone before?’
But a thought suddenly occurred to me.
The main story of WFS begins a few years from now.
The elf’s story picks up some time later.
But if I could invite humans now, there would never be a story related to it.
Why did the current elf invite the academy now?
‘There must be something I don’t know.’
First of all, my priority is to ease the feelings of the princess who was upset during the moment when I was distracted.
No, I get upset like that.
“So what are you angry about again?”
“Don’t you know why?”
“Yes.”
“No one looked anywhere else with me in front of them. But you are so rude and disloyal.”
“In the first place, I didn’t come to see the princess, but the princess came to visit me, so that’s possible.”
“Oh my? Are you going to treat me like a guest?”
“Yes. But can’t you feel the attention of those around you right now?”
There were many people around us listening attentively to our conversation.
Several cadets and even some elves were paying attention to see if they had heard from the humans.
furthermore… Professor Rachel was also watching us.
Why is that person still there?
“Do I really need to pay attention to other people?”
“Of course. One of the virtues of a ruler is to stay away from subordinates who often make harsh remarks and to keep close to loyal subjects who give advice.
To distinguish between loyalists and traitors, you must pay attention to the people around you.”
“Oh? Are you worried about me?”
“If you don’t worry, they’ll say something and say it’s rude.”
“You don’t seem to know that those words are rude.”
I had a conversation with Alice.
For me, who has lived for 44 years and experienced all kinds of things, my experience on this earth was just that.
Since there wasn’t much to do, we talked even more that way.
People around me felt like I was interacting with animals at a zoo.
It was watching and watching with interest, but it didn’t want to come near it.
In the first place, I think I would watch if I were in a similar situation.
A high-status person woos a relatively low-status person.
They even look at me because they want to win my heart, not just because of power.
I thought it would be fun and watched it secretly, so I didn’t say anything to the people around me.
“Princess Alice!!!”
A moment when everything was so peaceful.
Suddenly, a voice was heard calling Alice.
It was a voice I had heard before.
“Saint of healing?”
A saint of healing.
One of the saints of the Holy Emperor, and the only saint who sees an uncertain future rather than a definite future.
And that is why she was sent to the Academy for political reasons.
“Heheheheheheㅡ”
The healing saintess who approached Alice was panting.
A situation in which something urgent may occur.
After taking a short break, she immediately explained the situation to Alice.
“I came to inform you because the army of the dead is coming.”
Alice was taken aback by those words and asked back.
“What… ? Dead ones? Are you talking about an army of dead people?”
“That’s right.”
A squad of mortals.
Another name is the Dead Legion.
Although I don’t know exactly where it originated.
They are the first force to combine necromancy and black magic.
They were the first to create human sacrifice through black magic.
“Did you see it through the future?”
“Yes. I saw it through the future. Even though life has ended, those who move on and aim for the land of the living will invade this land.”
“Isn’t the healing saint’s foresight a certain future?”
“If I see the future and intervene, the future will not change. If we don’t intervene, the future is immutable.
The reason I didn’t try to make good use of my stigmata at Seonghwangcheong is because I don’t know how the future will unfold because there is no fixed outcome.”
Although the future is not certain.
If you don’t try to change it, the future will happen the same way.
Those weren’t particularly comforting words.
“But why did you leave the professors and come to the princess?”
“I don’t have the authority to summon the cadets. That’s why the professors and the princess needed it… I came here because I happened to see the princess.”
A healing saint who persuades the princess with a calm and alluring voice.
The princess barely understood and looked at me.
The question was whether the healing saint was trustworthy.
‘Is that because I said I know the future to some extent?’
Anyway, I nodded because she was a trustworthy person.
After receiving my permission, the princess immediately used the power provided by the Academy.
[Prepare for everyone to evacuate. This is delivered in the name of the second princess, Alice Tantalota. Prepare everyone to evacuate.]
The royal family has the authority to command everyone in times of emergency.
This ability was created because there was a need to somehow resolve the worst situations, such as war or terrorism, or when the control tower was blown up.
All citizens of the empire affected by this ability (or more precisely, citizens of the empire who know this) must follow the words of this subject.
If two people write at the same time, the one that heard it first is valid.
A means created with the premise of somehow escaping from an extreme situation such as terrorism.
It is a power that all citizens of the empire must follow unconditionally, even if they are political opponents.
Of course, the royal family has to deal with all the political fallout that occurred after that, so it is rarely triggered.
‘During the festival, Alice couldn’t activate it because she couldn’t understand the situation… Now it’s possible.’
That’s why Alice quickly activated that power.
The cadets were suspicious of the triggering of something they had only heard about through rumors, but they eagerly began to evacuate.
I felt a little relieved seeing people evacuating.
And as the situation got a little better, questions began to arise one after another.
It was because it was very different from the future I knew.
‘What happened?’
The Lion Legion will not begin their invasion of this land until at least several years later.
It was quite a while after the main story started.
However, the invasion of the Lion Legion has already begun.
Even when I’m there.
This is impossible unless something in the sky is intentionally trying to put me through an ordeal.
‘Let’s think about it… Why did the lion army invade?’
The reason why the Lion Army targeted the elves is simpler than you think.
This is because Abenheim was the place with the strongest life force after Seonghwangcheong.
Seonghwangcheong saves lives through divine power.
Abenheim boasts a powerful world tree and its fruits provide enormous lifespan and powerful vitality.
However, the Seonghwangcheong is in political turmoil with many cardinals being replaced.
All adults who can be called power are fine.
So I targeted an elf who was weaker than him.
That’s the story of WFS.
And what do then and now have in common?
‘Humans have come… !’
In the main story of WFS, even though there was an incident where the branches of the World Tree were leaked, humans were not invited.
When the lion army became active, it was judged that it would be difficult to defeat them without human help, so humans were invited.
At that time, the Lion Legion also began an invasion at a time when the alliance was at its most loose, in order to destroy the elves in the first battle and at the same time break up the alliance.
And even now, humans are here.
And that too with far less power than the Human Alliance.
If the reason for the invasion was different from then… Because when there are outsiders, it’s the most chaotic time.
The intention is to commit an act when the elves’ hostility toward outsiders is at its lowest.
If relationships with outsiders worsen and relationships with humans deteriorate.
Because there will be no force to help the elves in the future.
‘But we have Alice.’
Alice Tantalota.
I don’t know how it happened, but I’m a royal family who can handle a powerful power of domination that can control the body.
Under her power, existence below a certain level has no meaning, whether it is ten thousand or one hundred million.
‘The faculty, the president, the elf elders, and the guardians of the World Tree. Me and the saint of healing… First of all, the odds of winning are high… !’
As it was several years ago, the power of the Lion Corps will also be weaker than before.
So we definitely need to succeed this time.
Let’s turn crisis into opportunity.
The incident happened anyway.
Let’s find a way to benefit the most from the incident.
‘I achieved merit in the invasion and met the guardian of the World Tree.’
Since there was a way to meet, it was right to do it.
In order to do that…
“Princess! First, get all the cadets in! Give an additional command and send them to an evacuation area.”
“I know… !”
The more I hide my skills and the princess’s power of control, the better.
We are not yet winners in politics or anything else.
So it would be better not to show your power.
The more you have something like a last resort, the better it will be.
“Saint. First, please evacuate the cadets. It will be confusing, but it will be better if you have a standard.
Since the princess is a member of the royal family, ask the elf elders for a meeting. Since the royal family actually represents the nation, the elves will also meet them.”
“Then what will you do?”
“I have to go meet the professors.”
To be precise, it should go to the president.
Rector, Sergei Darmore. If you stop, the rest of the professors will come on their own.
“… ”
Alice looks at me intently.
It was a look of concern.
There was nothing I could do.
Just an empty promise.
“Definitely. I’ll come back safely. I swear.”
“Promise… Be sure to protect it.”
The next enemy to the Evil God Church. Lion Legion.
The first fight with them was about to begin.
