“Then tell me. Why does the elf have to be trapped here?”
The purpose of the elf elder, Perwell, is not to kill the World Tree.
The killing of the World Tree is merely a process for his purpose.
The ultimate reason is the fact that elves are slowly declining.
So they are trying to open the door or force the elves to leave this land.
This is because the only way to abandon Abenheim is the death of the World Tree.
And I must not kill the World Tree.
However, it is better to prevent the fall of the elves.
The elves are better at dealing with the lion army than the Seonghwangcheong, which is in a bit of a bad state and has a lot of other things to do.
And to know that, you have to know why he stays on this earth.
“That’s why I’m locked up… It’s simple.”
“What is it?”
“Because elf blood should not cause problems.”
what?
blood?
What do you mean?
“You want to protect pureblood elves? What on earth does that mean? Even if half-elves are discriminated against, wouldn’t their parents actually love them?”
“The individual elves are not important. The elf species is important. I am the guardian of the great World Tree and the representative of the elf god. I cannot grieve over the tragedy of individual elves.”
His next words continued.
At first glance, this seems correct.
From the perspective of governing a country, there are times when it is necessary to serve the greater good rather than individual gain.
It is reasonable for a leader to look at the elf race rather than the individual elves.
But that only applies when the goal is correct.
And this is only when there is no other way.
“Though such thoughts are reasonable for a leader. The policies implemented should ultimately be helpful. So please tell me. What on earth does it have to do with protecting the pure blood of elves?”
If you think about it, it might be okay to just skip it now and ask for help later like WFS.
If the embodiment of sin grows significantly, he too will eventually have no choice but to step forward.
But in the end, at least to meet the World Tree.
Also, to solve things I’ve been thinking about for a while.
I must negotiate with the guardian of the World Tree.
Also, I need to give Igrasil a body.
As the guardian of the World Tree, let me show a confident attitude with no room to back down.
Explained to me why.
“Not pure blood or mixed blood. Purity and pollution.”
what?
“What kind of bullshit is that? no. I just don’t understand.
Humans are not a race that is superior to elves in any way, and there are close to 5 people who are stronger than you. But what is pollution?”
“It’s not that humans are inferior. The mere mixing itself obscures purity.
Just as humans have human ways, elves have elf ways. And the mixed race you are talking about obscures the essence in some way.”
under. Even if it was a few years ago, I had no idea it would have been this congested.
At the time of WFS, several elves left Abenheim and began their activities.
Maybe even after taking out the branches, there wasn’t much progress. Perwell must have had a hand in it.
That’s why I know full well that that statement is more bullshit than anything else.
This is because everyone lived well together.
‘and… If what I’ve been thinking about since I was reincarnated on this earth is true… ‘
His words are wrong from the very beginning.
But his objections were not over.
“What happens if elf blood is mixed with other beings? There will be more and more problems. A time in the past when the elves established an empire. I also accepted humans.
However, those born to humans were all lacking. Spiritual arts and archery. All. I don’t know about the human ones, but the elf ones were all inferior.”
“Among elves, there must be many who can’t do it, right? Then why don’t they all send a search party?”
“You probably aren’t denying your lineage either.”
“More than half of the people at the Imperial Academy here are from commoners?”
“Sometimes there are people who show outstanding qualities. But that’s personal. What I need to care about is not individual elves, but the entire race.”
Even at a glance, his words are sophistry.
Are you going to control bloodlines for the sake of the nation?
To preserve the bloodline?
I don’t know if lineage is something that is passed down as thoroughly as the royal family’s power of domination.
If you do it that way, it’s just luck.
“So, when the elf empire fell in the past, I had no choice but to protect it. Because elves shouldn’t have any more problems.”
her.
That’s really funny.
Even what I was pursuing was wrong.
Are the current elves developing?
no.
The mighty Elven Empire of the past is now long gone.
The elf is still struggling.
If mixed, the values the elves have maintained will collapse?
We call it natural selection.
In fact, this may have been true in the past.
For tens of thousands of years, there was no guarantee that even if all humans attacked, they would be able to completely destroy Abenheim.
But not now.
That was eventually eliminated.
“So in the end, the reason you have to maintain pureblood is because the elf’s skills will be lower?”
Just as the bow completely lost its function as a weapon of war before the advent of the gun.
Even though elf technology has become less competitive over time.
Maintaining it is no different from ultimately dying.
If he exists not for the individual elves, but for the elves as a species.
You shouldn’t say things like protecting pure blood.
“If the door is opened and elf blood is mixed, any advantages that may have existed will disappear. And human technology is technology for humans. Even if an elf learns it, he won’t be able to make it completely his.”
“There must already be countless precedents.”
“There are also many contrary precedents. The reason dwarves were eliminated by humans was because of the discovery of alchemy. It’s like giving a spear to a person who didn’t have one.
But can a human who has not learned Auras and has no spear defeat the tiger roaming that mountain?”
“The reason dwarves were eliminated was not because they couldn’t use alchemy, but because they didn’t want to use it. Just as you are not willing to accept human technology. Unlike vampires, dwarves can use alchemy.”
His argument ultimately fails to meet just one point.
In the end, the question is, is there another way?
If you don’t want to do it because there are a lot of problems with that method, I don’t know.
It makes no sense not to do it just because the possibility of that method is low.
‘Something is strange.’
His judgment is normal.
And yet, they are claiming this nonsense.
It is not that people think that humans are inferior because of their sense of being the chosen people.
This is because calling a human right away also means acknowledging the human being.
It was difficult to find anything in his words that suggested humans were inferior.
The reason I think technology should not be revealed to humans right away is because I am very wary of humans.
But why is this like this?
His goal is to maintain the pure blood of elves.
But in the end, this is not a solution.
He lived a long time and will continue to live.
It is common for politicians and those in power to sell out the future due to short-sightedness.
He is not like that.
This is because there is no way an intelligent body would make such a decision not to disclose technology because it might become an enemy in the future.
‘Trying to maintain pure blood… There is an ideological basis or… Or maybe pureblood itself is a fake and just wants stability.’
I don’t know the exact truth.
However, I knew one thing for sure.
He has no intention of saving the elf.
Unless he is a contradictory being.
‘Then are you lying? Or have I lived too long and my thoughts have hardened?’
Even if you try to think about it, only strangeness remains.
What on earth is the correct answer?
‘I do not know.’
There is no right answer in life.
The best choice may actually have been the worst choice.
Sometimes the worst choice turns out to be the best outcome.
Smoking, which was the worst choice, brought about the worst result: lung cancer.
Because of that worst choice, I ended up being reincarnated and living on this earth.
Nothing important.
Just do whatever you want.
“Guardian of the World Tree. The representative of all elves and the oldest elf in this land.”
If things go as WFS goes, he will eventually leave this land.
This is because the embodiment of sin is resurrected and begins its activities in earnest.
in other words. His goal is not death.
If you think about the seizure at the World Tree earlier… His goal is to protect the World Tree.
The reason he went into battle with Hwashin was also because the World Tree was dangerous.
“I have something to formally say to you.”
That’s why what I do is decided.
“Are you really for elves?”
I was thinking of doing this anyway.
The incarnation of sin is an area I have no experience with.
I have no idea how strong that being is or how much strength it takes to deal with it.
Because of that, elves must prosper.
Among the elves, there are definitely some who are wasting their talents.
There may be people who have the talent of a seeker but cannot become one.
Even if it is only 1% of the tens of thousands of elves, it is in the hundreds.
They are also disappointing to me.
“Elven blood mixed in? under! Humans were originally only able to use their own magic, but you must have forgotten that they eventually learned magic by analyzing the dragon’s magic, right?”
“There are things that apply and there are things that do not apply.”
“Ha. Don’t lie. If it was really for the sake of the elves, even if the door was not open, at least the searchers and military power should have continued to be strengthened.
From your point of view, everyone is a future enemy nation, and those enemy nations continue to become more powerful!”
Although Europe disarmamented after World War II.
The reason South Korea strengthened its military even after World War II was because of the real threat posed by North Korea.
If there is no threat, disarmament is not a problem.
However, as he said, if we consider the distant future and treat it as a potential enemy country.
Ultimately, we must strengthen our military power while increasing the number of searchers.
It’s okay if you’re confident that you can handle it on your own.
Considering that he acknowledges humans, he is not that arrogant.
“We are trying to protect the World Tree at all costs. However, it doesn’t matter whether Abenheim and the elves slowly decline or not. Isn’t the purpose too obvious?”
“What?”
“I just don’t want to leave this land.”
I cherish the World Tree.
However, elves do not really value it.
That can be easily deduced.
The World Tree is precious, but elves are not.
Because Abenheim, where the World Tree is located, is precious, an elf is needed to help that precious place.
If you’re not interested in the rise and fall of the elf, his actions are also explained.
“If elves were truly precious. The possibility of elves becoming extinct should also have been considered. Don’t you care about each elf? But why are you preventing the elf from leaving? The elves who are leaving will not be able to cause any harm to Abenheim, right?”
“… There is a reason for that.”
“Yes. There must be a reason… If you are truly following the world tree.”
This is a fact I had forgotten all along.
There is something that does not fit with the information obtained through conversation with him.
If the World Tree really wants to prosper as the elves believe.
Why do they reject humans?
Indeed, if the World Tree were such a being, would it have discriminated against humans?
If you put all of that together.
In some ways, wouldn’t he have betrayed the World Tree?
“What does that mean?”
The guardian, feeling doubtful about my words, asked back.
“The world tree, the divine tree of the elves. But in the end, you are threatening even the existence of elves.
Don’t tell me it’s unlikely. You can eliminate the possibility, but the important thing is not to do it. Did the World Tree really tolerate such a situation?”
The guardian looked clearly embarrassed.
The face is frowning and anger is forming.
This was clearly a weakness.
“Nonsense… do not do that. Rudeness… That’s it… ”
“Then tell me. Since you can communicate with plants, you can also communicate with the World Tree. Does the World Tree, which calls itself the Elven God, tolerate you? Or is he selling you out and hiding it?”
If the World Tree really is what the elves say it is.
There is no way that the elves will not notice that they are walking down the path to downfall, and there is no way that they will turn a blind eye to the guardians.
On the other hand, if the World Tree is not what the elves are talking about.
It means he was lying from the beginning.
“Or… Does the World Tree even exist?”
In the worst case, there is a possibility that the world tree itself is false.
Of course, considering the Ghost Sword Technique, there is a high probability that the World Tree is real.
“In the end, the people who met the World Tree were only able to do so because you relayed it.”
There was a need to put pressure on the Guardian, so he said something else.
Negation of the world tree.
It is the greatest insult that can be given to someone who has supported the World Tree for tens of thousands of years.
“You… dare… !”
When a living thing feels extreme anger, its rationality is disturbed.
And in the midst of distracted reasoning, there are also words that should never be said.
“Diplomats have authority… This is because the behavior of the target determines the treatment of the group… ”
He got angry very slowly. I recited each word straight.
However, the surrounding energy was moving very urgently.
It was because his fierceness heightened the tension.
“Current. The end of the humans in Abenheim… It was decided because of you.”
Just one sentence.
And the sentence that encapsulates everything.
Realizing what he was trying to do, I just closed my eyes and accepted the situation.
“Please come.”
Anyway, this situation was fully considered.
So I guess I should try it now.
Guardian of the World Tree.
A person who is always included when discussing the strongest in this land.
The battle with him has begun.
