by adminEpisode 98 – The Giving Tree 13 –
[hey. Theseus. Sneak out.]
The first thing you need to do is call Theseus.
This land is the residence of elves.
Unlike games, monsters don’t appear as soon as you leave the village.
And what I’m going to do is save the elf, so I don’t have to feel guilty.
Theseus is currently unaware of what is happening in the shelter.
It’s just that they think I’m up to something because they can’t see me.
But when he heard my voice, he started looking around.
He continued speaking once more.
[Is it me? First of all, you have to come out and help me. Don’t worry, you can help enough and it’s safe.]
This job is just difficult because I only have one body.
It gets easier with two people, and even easier with three people.
It would have been even more helpful if Lucas had been there too, but he wasn’t here.
I don’t want to come.
[Once you agree, nod your head; if you don’t agree, close your eyes.]
And Theseus closed his eyes without any worries.
This is a bit disappointing.
[hey. If you do this wrong, your friends will be searched.]
And Theseus lip synced.
Again and again, falling behind. Two words were clearly conveyed.
There’s nothing I can do about it.
I will have to threaten him by force.
[hey. If I make a mistake this time, I’ll be really behind. Then, while I’m at it, I’ll unlock one of your secrets.]
Theseus tilted his head when he heard those words.
He seemed to be wondering if he had a secret.
[ah. You don’t know. I know that the butler accidentally saw you jerking off while looking at your fiancee, so I want you to solve that.]
As soon as Theseus heard those words, he immediately got up and slowly left for another place.
It seemed like he had heard my story correctly.
That guy must have liked his fiancee in his own way, so he masturbated while looking at a picture of her.
Of course, it’s not strange since I was in puberty at that time.
The fact that it is revealed openly is another thing.
If you spread that fact, the Duke of Winterfield will ask the butler.
There is no reason for the butler to lie, so the truth will soon spread among the family.
What I knew was that I had been able to use Auror enhancements since I was young.
The Duke’s soundproofing is good, but my auror enhancements succeeded in breaking through that soundproofing.
“Hey. Come out quickly, you idiot.”
And Theseus immediately comes out and begins to tremble at his dark history.
As expected, I think I did a good job of hiding it.
Giggling.
“Hey. So, what would be the difference if I came out earlier? It’s a fact that I, too, thought of your honor and wanted to keep it until I die.”
“… So how do you know that? Fuck you bastard. I had barely forgotten… ”
“Because I’ve been able to use Auror enhancement since then?”
Normally, I would tease him more, but right now we didn’t have much time to have this kind of conversation.
The only good thing is that I was able to escape easily due to the absence of the academy professors.
“Now we are going to go gathering. There must be some in this land. Find a tree that has the shape I’m talking about.”
The large forest where Abenheim is located is a tropical region, so it must exist.
“The leaves are shaped like almonds, and the fruits are red and shaped like cherry tomatoes. ”
“What are cherry tomatoes?”
“Ah. You don’t know. You know those glowing almond-shaped bulbs that hang on Christmas trees?”
“Uh. You know.”
“You need to find a tree with red bulb-shaped fruits. Please do not touch it carelessly, and if you find it, contact me right away.”
“By what method.”
“Well.”
“Is this guy really crazy? Do you do something in a situation where you are evacuated because it is already dangerous and you have no means of contact?”
But I couldn’t help it.
I tried to prepare a flare launcher, but I didn’t have enough time.
But once the situation happened, we had to find the plant.
There will be all kinds of plants in the land of the World Tree. There definitely will be.
“Then, take a good look. Good luck.”
“Wait.”
The moment we were about to leave, we suddenly heard someone calling us.
Of course, he couldn’t have been a professor.
It couldn’t have been another adult.
I turned my head and looked at who it was.
“Luna Kerenil?”
“Huuuu… So what’s happening now?”
In that place was Luna Kerenil. The next owner of the Kerenil caravan was standing there.
Judging by the way he was out of breath, it looked like he had seen Theseus leave and followed him in a hurry.
“No, I thought it was strange so I followed him, but what on earth is Abraxas Youngsik? where have you been Why can’t I see any other people?
Why on earth did Princess Alice make that announcement? ”
“Ah. It’s simple. An army of lions is coming.”
Luna Kerenil’s face instantly became very stupid at my blunt words.
First of all, even if I gave *5 to that expression, I didn’t think my IQ would be over 300.
“Why are you looking at me so strangely?”
“No… If it’s the Lion Legion, is it a unit that deals with the undead? Why does it appear now?”
“The God of the Elves, the World Tree is a powerful source of life.
It is difficult to target Seonghwangcheong, which is a healthy adult, but they attacked because they thought the guardian was weakened because the branches of the World Tree were spilled.”
“Why did you come while we were there?”
“Even if the operation fails, it can instill distrust in humans, which increases the probability that they will not ask humans for help in the future?”
Briefly explain the situation to Luna Kerenil.
Because it wasn’t really a secret.
Everyone was busy so there was no time to explain.
The cadets and elves were simply waiting in a safe place under the orders of the princess and the elders.
“Anyway, it worked out well. Mr. Luna. Please help us.”
“… Why me? What are you doing?”
“ character. Let’s briefly summarize the situation. We’re not a secret society or anything, it’s an official schedule, right? Then, in the end, our entire strength is revealed, right?”
“That’s right.”
“But the lion army attacked. What does this mean? Is this really an intention to attack just in case?”
“It can’t be.”
“Yes. They probably attacked because they thought there was at least a chance of victory. If nothing else, among the beings they have to consider is the guardian of the World Tree. You know what that means, right?”
Guardian of the World Tree.
One of the strongest beings that everyone unanimously says.
Records from the past Elven Empire.
And records left by human forces that occasionally attempted to invade the elves.
All such records proved the strength of the World Tree’s guardian.
Druidism dealing with plants.
Magic at the level of creating life.
To see the existence of these various elements combined with the Southern Great Forest, which is the most naturally preserved land.
A country will have to fight with all its might.
To defeat a country with a population of tens of millions and a current human power of less than 100,000.
“So, will you help me? Even if the other party came in just to attack, we wouldn’t have a problem.
If not, Abenheim and Zereb Academy could benefit greatly thanks to us.”
“Yes. great. So what on earth is the operation?”
“First you have to find one plant. It’s something that acts as an anesthetic. To execute what I have in mind, I need to process it.”
I further explain to Luna Kerenil the plants I am looking for.
After listening to the explanation, Luna Kerenil suddenly crossed her thumb and index finger and took out something.
“Balance.”
Something that comes to mind along with Luna Kerenil’s words.
While watching what I was doing with the scale that suddenly appeared, she continued.
“The price is 27 million baht. What you get that way is location. Location of a plant with broad almond-shaped leaves and oval bulb-shaped red fruits.”
As soon as those words were finished, the balance suddenly tilted and became parallel.
And there was no one who did not know what that series of actions was.
“After all, life is more valuable than any other wealth… It’s about investing. It seems like if I just follow what you guys say, I will gain fame.”
Her unique magic was a kind of bargain.
Last time, it was a long time ago, but this time, it seemed to be the ability to obtain results in exchange for money or something else.
crazy.
It’s a scam.
Did you have that kind of ability?
I don’t know what the range is, but it is certain that it is an incredibly useful ability if the conditions are right.
Like black magic and alchemy, it will be possible to use up what you have in an instant and aim for a higher level or higher.
“First, follow me. Only I can know the results.”
We followed Luna Kerenil slowly.
I didn’t think it was a trick.
Because I am stronger than that woman.
I walked for quite a long time.
Since I didn’t have a watch, I couldn’t tell the exact time, but it still felt like I had been walking for a very long time.
The plants I see as I walk like that.
It was exactly the plant I was looking for.
“Is this correct?”
“Yes. Now you can go to the next step. If this didn’t work, I should have found something else.”
“What. For now, I found it, so it’s okay. So what should we do now?”
“You can pick the leaves and separate the active ingredients through alchemy. I’ll show you how to do it. Can you help me?
Even though you’re a merchant, you’re not bad at alchemy either.”
“… I will charge you later.”
“That’s not really a problem.”
Money isn’t that big of a deal to me anyway.
Of course, if you give it to me, I will accept it.
“ character. Now then, let’s get started. If this is completed, we will be able to defeat the lion army for sure.”
“Huuuu… That’s a good thing. But what are you writing down?”
Solved the Lion Legion.
That’s why I asked her for something else.
“Luna Kerenil. Your unique magic too. Isn’t that an ability close to a transaction where you get something in return?”
“Huuuu… I didn’t want to get caught by you.”
“So, let’s make a deal. If you return to the academy, I will pay twice the amount spent.”
Luna Kerenil’s ears perked up at those words.
Double the damage.
This is something that any merchant can never overlook.
“What is it?”
“Can you give me some cornerstone? As much as possible.”
To look ahead to the next legion of lions.
I ordered cornerstone.
========
After Abraxas leaves.
Problems gradually began to increase on the battlefield.
“Too… There are many injured… !”
The undead soldiers of the Lion Legion are literally immortal.
These are people who can no longer be killed because they are already dead.
Even when they are hurt, they do not suffer, and when they are broken, they stand up again.
It’s weak, but it’s so annoying.
Although they have weaker immortality and less individual combat power than vampires.
In return, unlike vampires, there are no particularly fatal weaknesses.
‘There are too few priests. What should I do? It would be impossible to ask for support from Seonghwangcheong… ‘
The healing saint rushed to the rear to provide immediate treatment.
She has the stigmata of healing and is the best at healing.
However, even if stigmata is the strongest healing power, it is humans who utilize it.
The healing saint could never use healing power at an almighty level.
‘If things continue like this, we will eventually be pushed out…’ Princess Alice said there was a way… Should I take advantage of that?
Or maybe Abraxas was hiding something… ‘
The professors and elves were strong.
But they kept coming.
No matter how strong a person is, when he is exhausted, he can be trampled by a child.
Even though they had strong fighting power, the Abenheim side was slowly declining in front of them as they continued to engage in tremendous wars of attrition.
‘They didn’t prepare anything else… Like a siege in the Middle Ages… ‘The intention was to stop him and kill him.’
In the Middle Ages, demolition of castle walls was difficult due to the lack of magical engineering and alchemy.
In the end, it was difficult to break through because a small number of powerful players had to respond to a small number of strong people.
This is because the fortress was built to be unilaterally advantageous to the defenders.
So the attacking side could not penetrate the defense even with five times as many troops.
So, they simply surrounded the castle and killed it.
Although this also took several years.
‘The damage increased because we responded proactively… Even if we did space defense, the results wouldn’t have changed much.
The more defensive you are, the more you will slowly fall as the dead resurrect infinitely.’
However, the irony is that they chose to respond actively because they knew that fact.
Physical strength has its limits.
However, there is no limit to their physical strength.
So, you need to destroy it at the beginning when it has the most stamina and is strongest.
It’s just that they weren’t weak enough to destroy the first battle.
‘tutelary… If he had been there, there might have been a way. But why doesn’t it come out?’
The saint of healing had questions as she continued to treat patients.
If the Lion Army is targeting Abenheim because it has the most powerful vitality along with the Holy Emperor.
At least, this meant that the by-products of the World Tree had healing power comparable to that of a healing saint.
And the guardian of the World Tree who can control them is an incredibly strong person.
If I stopped participating in the war, I could immediately take a breather.
But he was still unreported.
The battlefield was slowly turning unfavorable.
“Saint. Are you okay?”
Alice asked the healing saint.
Because her face was becoming more and more contemplative.
“Yes… Although I’m tired… If I fall… Other people… ”
“I know. But still, if the saint falls, our morale will be even lower. Let’s take a little break while working.”
“Yes… Thank you for your consideration.”
Alice Tantalota was thinking of someone even in this situation.
The man she loves. It was Abraxas Mentutihotep.
‘Where on earth are they now…? What are you planning again? Are you trying to save me like you did back then?’
Alice Tantalota’s anxiety had good grounds.
This is because Abraxas has a record of trying to sacrifice his life to save her.
‘It wasn’t like he was trying to seduce me. I was satisfied because there was no dark feeling, but… That would mean that he would do that to other women as well, not to me.’
Although I fell in love with that attitude.
Humans are inherently contradictory creatures.
And women tend to have a desire to at least show the things they like to the person they love.
‘I believe that if you are willing to sacrifice… I will save you even if it means sacrificing them. Even if I get criticized… I think it would be better to live with criticism than to live without you.’
Alice couldn’t stay focused due to her anxiety.
Even as the anxiety was accelerating, the front line was being pushed back.
“If this is enough… It looks like the main base has arrived.”
“No. It won’t be at the level of the main base. It’s a place where it’s much easier to gain power than the Evil God Church… But I think I’m at least halfway there.”
“I didn’t know it would be pushed this far… ”
“Supply is overwhelmingly insufficient. I don’t know if there is a difference in combat power, but… It was written in the Book of War 1,000 years ago that lack of supply can never be defeated.”
The situation becomes more and more desperate.
The guardian of the World Tree is not even visible.
There is no possibility of the war situation improving.
In order to improve in this situation, variables were desperately needed.
‘I guess I have to step forward now.’
Her ability does not work on undead who are already dead.
At least it works for those who control it.
So the only way is to make the undead resonate with each other through them.
When Alice tried to step forward.
“Kya. I’ve been pushed back a lot. Wouldn’t it be ruined without a real guardian?”
In such a situation where defeat seems to have deepened.
Abraxas Mentutihotep, he entered the battlefield once again.
=========
“I think the situation is worse than I thought?”
This means that it is perfect for executing the strategy I have prepared.
In the end, the reason I planned this strategy was to impress the guardian and find out about the elves.
And overall, the goal is to solve all these secrets and avoid a fight for leadership with Igrasil.
And for that to happen, I need to be active.
To be active, you have to be pushed.
This is a very good situation.
“So where were you and what were you doing?”
The healing saint was resting in a corner when she saw me and asked.
I was just looking for it.
It went well.
“I was thinking of a great strategy. A strategy that can turn this unfavorable situation around at once.”
And at my words, the surroundings start to buzz.
Everyone knows that the war situation is unfavorable.
But is there a way to turn it around?
Even if it were me, it would be tempting.
“Um, is there really a way? It’s not like you’re joining the lion army or anything, is it?”
“A. no. Would I shamelessly claim something like that in front of a saint?”
Of course, this is not something you should do in front of a healing saint.
At least it is ethically okay as long as you have permission.
“Then, please execute the operation quickly. At least it’s better than not doing anything.”
As soon as the healing saint found out that there was a possibility, she spoke with excitement.
Since stigmata were not specialized for foresight, it seems that he had great anxiety about the future.
And I spoke with confidence.
“Saints of Healing As you also know, the saints of Seonghwangcheong can see the future. Of course, the healing saint is an exception as it is intermittent.”
“Yes. The prophecies given to the saint of heaven, the saint of far-sightedness, the saint of fate, and the saint of blindness are all unchangeable unless the power of God intervenes.”
“Yes. But why did the Holy Emperor’s Office not provide any support to this plan headed by the Holy Virgin of Healing?
Why didn’t we intervene when we could know they were coming through the saint’s changeable prophecy?”
If nothing else, the non-intervention of Seonghwangcheong is a huge incident.
Because they have their own saint and princess in this land.
This number of people could be exterminated, but if you don’t intervene, that’s a problem.
There is a lot of political unrest in Seonghwangcheong right now, and since all the saints are fine, there is no way they could not have predicted this.
Nevertheless, the fact that there has been no intervention so far means that one of two things has happened.
There is no need to intervene in this land.
Even if you intervene, there is no hope.
“If there is no hope even if you intervene, it will end anyway. So let’s assume the first one.
In other words, Seonghwangcheong is currently having a lot of internal problems, so it did not provide additional support to Abenheim, which does not have any problems anyway.”
“Then… !”
“But we have to keep fighting. If it’s the second assumption, we will eventually be destroyed, so the only way to fight for this world is to at least cause damage to the Lion Army.”
No matter how you look at it, it looks like electronics.
Still, there is a possibility that it is the latter, so we must fight.
We must also consider the possibility that the Seonghwangcheong’s prophecy was not made on time in the first place.
That’s why I said it.
“If you just look at the current situation, it seems likely that it will be the latter. but. I have a way! If you use this method, you will definitely be able to turn the situation around!”
“Really? Then quickly… !”
“Before that!! Since this is only possible after obtaining permission, I will ask a question.”
This is because this operation ultimately requires permission, even if only for the future.
“Saint of healing… Do you want to win for sure? It may be unethical, but if only the saint would turn a blind eye, there is a sure way to resolve this situation. Do you want that?”
my question.
And the saint, who realized what he meant, showed disapproval.
This was because it could have been passing the responsibility on to oneself.
“That’s difficult. No matter how much it is for the sake of victory, I do not commit unethical acts towards others… ”
But I didn’t mean it that way.
Because I am not asking for forgiveness for evil deeds using the healing saint as a shield.
I corrected my words exactly.
“No. I said that because I have something to do for the saint. It’s a very rude thing to do to a saint.”
I was making a request not to others, but to the saint of healing herself.
After my explanation, the saintess blushed for a moment.
It seemed like he was thinking about doing something unscrupulous.
However, he soon looked at Alice behind him and his expression relaxed.
No, what were you thinking?
Did you think I wouldn’t do anything strange because Alice was there?
‘I guess the healing saint doesn’t think Alice is my girlfriend, right?’
Of course, if you thought that way, you can rest assured.
Common sense tells us that there is no way a crazy person would sexually harass a woman who is not his girlfriend in front of his girlfriend.
“Then it doesn’t matter. If I can avoid this situation with my sacrifice… That would also be beneficial.”
“It’s not a sacrifice, it’s just that the pain may remain after some time has ended. So, did you allow it?”
“Yes. I will do it. Because I am a saint!”
As soon as the healing saint’s permission was given.
Immediately, I took out the material I had made earlier from my pocket.
White liquid in a syringe.
I held these by the shoulders of the healing saint and injected her with this medicine.
“What are you injecting me with?”
The healing saint seemed strange when she saw me handing her something.
But this is for the healing saint.
I am not sadistic.
I am not the kind of person who enjoys watching other people suffer.
“You will probably be asleep for quite some time. If you wake up, it’ll probably be over, so don’t worry.”
Although the operation was not explained precisely.
In this land, there is a princess who will absolve from imperial laws and a saint who will take responsibility for ethics.
It won’t be my fault.
“Uh… this… thing… what… ? why… the former… self… ”
Usually, if you look at actual cases, people fall asleep without even knowing they are falling asleep.
Even though she was given an overdose, she seems to be a saint.
Drug resistance is no joke.
I injected another drug that I had prepared just in case.
Shake it~
And everyone around me was embarrassed.
This is because there are not many drugs that can put people to sleep so casually.
Luna Kerenil was standing behind.
Even Alice Tantalota, who had trusted me, was shocked.
This is because in this land where pharmaceuticals were not developed and medicine was not developed thanks to the power of Seonghwangcheong, this drug that looked like a sleeping pill was a tremendous invention.
“Abraxas English? How did you do it? That way. Can I sell it?”
“What on earth method did they use to make a priest of the level of a saint fall asleep like that all at once?
There are so many people suffering from insomnia, but this is a substance that is close to a revolution!”
The two people make a fuss.
But I have no intention of teaching them this.
‘If you sell this, you could be screwed, so why sell it?’
This is not a modern anesthetic or sleeping pill.
I do not know the ingredients or formulations of modern anesthetics.
If we knew, that bastard was either a medical professional or a kidnapper when he was on Earth.
However, I don’t know about the anesthetics used in modern times.
We know about the anesthetics used in the Middle Ages.
And with my power, I can figure out how to get it.
Mystery comes from the absence of information.
So I deliberately pretended there was something there.
“It’s no big deal. It just has an anesthetic effect. It’s a special medicine.”
I didn’t lie.
This is because it is true that it has an anesthetic effect.
Surprisingly, anesthetics existed even in the Middle Ages.
In fact, according to records, he was even anesthetized with a special syringe for dental treatment.
Its name is cocaine.
Coca tree leaf extract.
