    Episode 112 – New trend 2 -​

    “I plan to stay in the empire for a while. Because there was no lie in the words of Abraxas Mentutihotep, a noble of the Helium Empire.”

    As the guardian continues, everyone’s faces become astonished.

    Most people didn’t think that everything I said in that dome was true.

    At best, I thought only the stories related to elves and humans were true.

    Some smart people may have thought that there was a high probability that what I was saying was true based on circumstantial evidence.

    They will be some.

    That’s probably why they make those kinds of facial expressions.

    “The elf who follows may follow. It doesn’t matter if the remaining elves stay. However, I plan to stay in the empire for a while and learn better technologies there.”

    The other elves were anxious as they heard that the guardian would be leaving this land for a long time.

    Even if you believe in the World Tree, the Guardian was the true ruler of this land.

    Just as crime occurs in theocratic countries.

    People who believe in God also commit crimes, and for such people, the public power of the state is inevitably more scary than God.

    In any case, God is an invisible being.

    “Are you abandoning Abenheim? ?”

    Among the elf elders, an older-looking figure opened his mouth.

    The fallacy of appealing to emotions.

    It is a method that targets feelings of guilt, responsibility, and conscience that others clearly have.

    Although it is indeed effective, it does not change the fact that it is a flawed metaphor.

    So the guardian questioned him.

    “What is my position?”

    “Yes?”

    “He asked what my position was.”

    The simple way to refute the fallacy of appealing to emotions is with the truth.

    To those who support the death penalty, saying that they do not feel sorry for the victim.

    All you have to do is point out the fact that in the past, the state used the death penalty to execute political opponents with great ease.

    It would be even better if you added a spoonful of sentimentality to it and even asked if it was insulting to those who were killed by death penalty in the past.

    “Agent of the World Tree… ”

    “Not religious status. What is my actual position on this earth?”

    His position at Abenheim was simple.

    “Lord of the elves… ”

    representative.

    A being that represents elves.

    There is a saying that a king who does not let his people starve and protects them from external enemies is a great king.

    If he wants to become a saint.

    You shouldn’t stay in the present.

    It was also the reason he decided to leave this country.

    “Elf or human. Or not. The fact that I am the one who represents you does not change.

    What he told me. It’s not that humans are special, it’s more like it showed me how wrong I was at the time.”

    The reason for the fall of the Elven Empire was the problem of overly rigid social status.

    Since there was no way to rise except through rebellion, those with ability prepared for rebellion.

    Abenheim of today had nothing like that.

    Anyone who had at least the ability could become an elder and a member of the search party.

    “Elf or human. Or not. Unlike vampires, elves can use magical power, and unlike dragons, they know how to properly use aurors.

    So, elves can also learn human skills. If you can learn, it goes without saying that learning is helpful.”

    “That means… ”

    “I am not sure when I will return to this land. I said it doesn’t matter if I visit the World Tree myself from time to time. Maybe they will settle permanently in the Empire. But that’s not that important to me.”

    “It’s not important… ! What does that mean?”

    There are a few things he said that I agree with.

    One of the sayings that penetrates this world.

    “I am living forever. Someday, this life will end too. Even so, you will live longer than most humans.”

    There are no permanent enemies, allies, or neutrals in this land.

    So the fact that information is revealed is itself a weakness.

    “So, even though it may be settlement from your perspective, it can be called settlement from my perspective.”

    If you look at it from an extremely distant perspective, the future of any country is either destruction or becoming an enemy country. They can’t be friends forever.

    “So, in effect, we will have a new beginning in that land. It might come soon, though. Even the elves will likely not return until several generations have passed.

    So, from an elf’s perspective, it can also be considered a settlement.”

    So the information should not be made public.

    “But I am the representative of the elves and the representative of the World Tree. The world tree wanted me to leave, and the place where the elf representative would be is where the elves will be.

    That is why I will go to that land. Because there will be elves who will follow me.”

    There are many people saying that Abenheim is the land of elves.

    In fact, the land does not belong to anyone.

    Even before humans ruled this land.

    Before that, there was a time when elves and dragons ruled.

    Because before that, it wasn’t owned by anyone.

    That is why the place where the elf representative will be is not the elf land.

    This is where the elves are.

    “So, if you are an elf who will follow me, follow me. There will be no harm in not coming. Unless no one is going, I will head. Because that’s the way I should do it.”

    His heart was already strong.

    The majority of elves could never reverse that statement.

    Although many elves tried to persuade him.

    Because no one failed to persuade him.

    It’s funny, even the radicals who tried to insult humans until a while ago were unable to attack the guardian.

    They are much stronger than themselves. A moment to insult the person who was considered the most noble elf.

    This may be because even those who entrusted their safety to him end up at the same level.

    “Prepare those who will follow. Soon I will be leaving. There is no need to worry about food. There is no need to worry about wind and rain. I will be sincere to the elves who choose to follow me. Because I am the representative of the elves.”

    The elves who decided to follow the guardian’s words busily headed to their homes.

    Some elves went on to deny reality, saying it couldn’t be so.

    The intellectual class had something to ask the guardian.

    I approached him and asked him about something I had been curious about.

    Because the elders were merely beings who borrowed the authority of the guardians.

    Everyone just decided to glumly follow the guardian’s words.

    Just one person. Traitor. Except for Perwell.

    “How did you do it?”

    At some point, Perwell, who was released, asked me.

    In the end, it may be because everything was resolved without the need to kill the World Tree or create discord between the Guardians and the World Tree.

    “Nothing special. I just think there is such a thing as true destiny.”

    This is 100% sincere.

    The incident where the branches of the World Tree were leaked was something I knew about before I was reincarnated in WFS.

    The ghost sword technique was also the same.

    These two did not mesh at all at the WFS point of view, but now they have meshed together to create one story.

    It even feels like the story progressed more neatly as the main story of WFS progressed.

    “It was purely by chance that I learned the technology to communicate with the World Tree. It had nothing to do with the branches of the World Tree.

    But as if by fate, the two were connected and in the end, this happened. Maybe there really is destiny.”

    Now I really doubt it.

    Is this a game or reality?

    Of course it’s reality, but what on earth was WFS?

    Why was it in my life? And if this is a matter of fact, does my knowledge of the future have a big impact?

    ‘what. When I think about it, it doesn’t really matter. ‘There are so many stories in the world that are not properly revealed.’

    If WFS was just writing about how the world went on without me.

    It all makes sense.

    In reality, the truth is often buried.

    “I guess so. Anyway. I express my gratitude to you… Anyway… Because you freed the elves… ”

    Perwell’s words also made me feel rewarded in my own way.

    Because in the end, everything worked out well.

    Made the elf an ally…

    And the Guardian will at least be friendly to me, the only one who can communicate with the World Tree.

    He succeeded in obtaining a very good political method from the empire.

    ‘If this is enough… ‘Can I create a new faction?’

    If you fight a swordsman, you might lose.

    It may be possible to inflict irreparable damage to the Sword Saint.

    With that level of power and background, I can create a separate faction rather than just being neutral.

    ‘But then there will be a lot of work to do… I guess I’ll just carry on as usual.’

    Because power increases the more work you do.

    Power is not a very good thing.

    I can clearly tell from the fact that Alice rarely asks to meet me right away.

    I guess it’s because I’m so busy.

    “Thank you so much… You are my benefactor.”

    “Maybe your guardian will take good care of you. Since the world tree was directly induced, there is no reason to have any ill feelings. Also, you are a person who really thought about elves.”

    “I am not interested in this person.”

    “Power is determined by others. No matter what your will is, if others worship you, you gain power.”

    That is why the execution of blood relatives was ranked first throughout the East and West.

    If you are a bloodline whose existence poses a political threat just because you truly have no will.

    It’s like having power that can be wielded at any time because of the gaze of those around you.

    When the conversation with Perwell was going well.

    From a distance, someone was approaching us, making a bold move.

    “Abraxas English. You have truly done something great.”

    Another contributor to this work.

    It was Alice.

    “I was surprised. Because they made the Guardians into the Empire’s own in a truly amazing way.”

    At some point, Alice came next to me and started flirting with me.

    “What. I just achieved my goal in another way.”

    “In politics, only the results are important. Eventually, the guardian will learn the skill for a while and then leave. While you are learning, you will listen carefully to the Empire. The Guardian may not have a very positive view of the Empire since it ruled its lands in the distant past.”

    “It’s not like I’m staying permanently. In the end, will you come back to Abenheim someday?”

    “This probably means that the guardian will stay in the empire, at least as long as I live. We may need to put some shackles on… In other words, I gained a lot of power. It must be truly beneficial.”

    “Can I fill it?”

    “Aren’t you there? In the end, if I’m going to talk to you, I need you. If you pass on the technology you mentioned, the Guardian will never be able to oppose the Empire as long as the World Tree lives.”

    In the meantime, it seems like they have already found a way to control the guardian.

    In some ways, this is a reasonable statement.

    Because there is no leader in their country who would allow uncontrollable weapons from other countries.

    If there were, it would be at least an ally.

    Even if they are allies, they do not have uncontrollable weapons.

    “So what are you going to do next? Are you planning something else great?”

    Alice now asked about the next schedule.

    If you think about it, it was worth it.

    From the festival, to the exchange exhibition, after that, to vacation, and until now.

    I was almost always doing all kinds of crazy things.

    So you might be wondering if there is something else.

    Of course to me

    “I’m going to head to the auction house first.”

    “Oh? Are you aiming for the branches of the world tree?”

    “That’s right. This is something the royal family is also targeting, so the princess can’t save it.”

    Now what I have to do is just that.

    It would be a matter of properly obtaining the branches of the world tree.

    “How do you aim for what the royal family is aiming for? My chances would be higher if I attended as my representative.”

    “That’s why I thought I’d just do it. Now I have earned the title of Guardian and most friendly citizen of the Empire.

    If you go in with that title, everything will work out.”

    Auctions are not conducted in the usual way.

    This is because there are a lot of crazy people who can print with real money.

    You can tell just by looking at the bidding competition between the Republic of Magic and the Jute Tower for the Dragon Heart right now.

    Although the Jute Tower, which receives support from the imperial family, has greater capital power than the dozens of Magic Towers in the Republic of Magic.

    Before I saved the dragon heart, the Jute Tower didn’t have a single dragon heart.

    “Hmm. If that’s the case… It’s definitely possible.”

    “Yes. If that’s the case, you’ll probably get enough votes.”

    “Do you have money?”

    If you say you will use “, your family will use their energy to support you. I have money.”

    If you can’t decide right away, just ask Jute Tower to lend you money.

    The Jute Tower was unable to obtain the Dragon Heart due to the auction system rather than lack of money.

    If you ask for more money, you will be able to give it enough.

    “Yes. You’ll take care of it. Then, let’s see it at the academy.”

    “Yes. Princess. See you next time then.”

    Alice had a lot of work to do now, so she headed to the imperial palace first.

    All that remains are the academy cadets and professors.

    I planned several strategies to prepare for the auction.

    The amount of money to give to Ygrasil is virtually secured as the World Tree said it would help if it comes at any time.

    In the case of a 1,500-year-old dwarf, you may be able to find it with Alice’s help.

    In the case of Yeonguk’s creation, you can visit it at any time.

    There is no need to worry now.

    so. Now was the time to go get the branches of the World Tree, which might be the last chance.
