Chapter 195
Episode 195
While Zenon and the Rangers were moving, the elf village was not quiet at all.
In some ways, it was more noisy than Easton.
There was no news from Raymond who headed to the World Tree for 7 hours.
However, the area of the World Tree itself was also a sanctuary to just visit.
‘If you look at me, it will disturb me, so I hope you don’t come in until I come out, no matter what. Otherwise, I don’t think I can get treatment.’
I heard that, but how could I ignore it and go in?
You might not know it if it had no effect, but you can see the forest coming to life as the days go by.
The fact that forests are regaining vitality is proof that the world’s trees are regaining their strength.
I had no choice but to believe it because it was so good that it was effective.
So I have no choice but to stamp my feet outside like this.
Yeah, if it was just a delay, I wouldn’t have been so worried.
Oh, if that’s all it is. I just think this treatment is a little late.
But the problem is that after he entered, the five elves disappeared.
They are also those who have been given the role of guarding the area around the sanctuary.
There was clearly a problem with those people not being seen for several hours at a time.
That wasn’t a normal problem either.
This could possibly cause harm to the World Tree and Raymond.
“What should I do?”
“It’s true that I have to go in, but what if I say I’ll never come back again?”
Raymond’s words left them in confusion.
I need to go in, but I can’t.
I was so frustrated that I was going crazy.
“Are you going to stay like this?”
“elder! Please make a decision quickly!”
The elves shout.
The elder among them sighed.
It was also quite complicated.
It was right to go in because I needed to confirm, but I was wondering if it was right to go in for the World Tree.
If they went in for no reason and Raymond said he would no longer come, it would be a big problem.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t check it.
The best way is to come out and say it’s okay.
‘What on earth did they do that took this long and where did they go?’
I sighed.
My head is pounding.
I had no idea what to do, but to be honest, the answer was already decided.
“I’m going to the sanctuary.”
It’s related to the world tree.
No matter how much it is done for the world tree, protecting the world tree is a lifelong task.
No matter how good it is for the World Tree, if there is even the slightest risk, you must see it with your own eyes to confirm it.
Even if it turns out to be a bad thing.
‘Why did I become an elder…’
Being the oldest is not good in situations like this.
I felt a lot of pressure as an elder and having to make such an important choice.
Even though I’ve been an elder for decades, I’m not used to this at all.
“The elder said. “Let’s all move!”
The bustling elves began to move quietly at the elder’s words.
Once a decision has been made, move on, no matter what the consequences may be.
“We’re almost there.”
The elves next to the elder help him move.
As I am getting older, it is difficult to travel such long distances.
I can use spirit power, but I don’t want to bother them to this extent.
I don’t know about the other elves, but he considered the spirit to be his friend.
“Then enter… huh?!”
The elf who was trying to open the entrance to the sanctuary made a jerky sound.
He hurriedly shouted back in a voice full of astonishment.
“It’s out! “A benefactor has arrived!”
“what? Is that really true?”
“A benefactor has arrived!”
The other elves shouted happily at the elf’s words.
They are happy that they don’t have to offend him.
If my relationship with him became strained for no reason, the treatment of the World Tree could also be hindered.
I was glad that such a situation did not happen.
“But… the comrades who disappeared are with their benefactor!”
The elder’s face hardened at the elf’s next words.
Being with his benefactor Raymond was problematic in many ways.
The biggest problem is that they came out of the sanctuary.
No matter how much you have a mission to protect the sanctuary, that doesn’t mean you can enter the sanctuary.
The sanctuary can only be entered with the consent of the elder and several other elves.
And you can’t go in alone.
You must enter with another elf.
Raymond was the only exception.
Special treatment. It wasn’t strange to say that.
But why are they coming out of there?
That too.
“Well, something is strange.”
“The benefactor is holding them captive.”
They were being dragged out by strange ropes.
How did this happen?
Raymond glanced at the elves looking at him and clicked his tongue.
I felt like I was clicking my tongue a little, but perhaps because the surroundings were so quiet, the sound spread everywhere.
“….”
I just clicked my tongue and the surroundings instantly became quiet.
It was already very quiet, but now even the sound of breathing has disappeared.
There was no need to find out what was happening.
The elves were worried that Raymond would be angry because of this.
“Um…”
Raymond opened his mouth, looking back at them.
***
When I came out of the world tree area, I saw that the sun was setting.
Considering that we left the castle around sunrise, we could see that it had taken quite a long time.
“This… I’ll hear something about it when I get back.”
There was no news for five or six hours at most.
It was obvious how Count Warrug would react.
Despite his seemingly indifferent appearance, he was a person who secretly had a lot of worries.
He’ll probably nag me to the point where my ears hurt.
“by the way. “Those guys’ legs must be pretty sore.”
While I was talking to the World Tree, the elves had to kneel and remain tied.
No matter how patient you are, maintaining one posture is difficult.
However, since they had to be bound by their own will, you don’t have to guess the pain to know that it was the worst.
“What should I do with these now?”
The conversation with the World Tree could be seen as ending…well.
I couldn’t get much information, but at least I could become stronger.
If you do well, you may be able to gain power equivalent to that of a Sword Master.
I couldn’t get everything I wanted, but it didn’t mean I didn’t get it at all, so I didn’t feel that bad.
Maybe that’s why I didn’t feel too bad when I saw the traitors.
However, I was worried about what I could achieve with these guys.
‘no. If you hope for too much, you can lose what you gained in return. ‘Because too much can be poisonous.’
There was no need to want to get more and more.
Because sometimes it’s better to get something in moderation.
“Let’s just let it go.”
Since I got something from the World Tree, I don’t think it would be that helpful even if I got something from them.
If you really look for it….
‘Is that the extent to which you can gain favor from the elves?’
That alone can be said to be a great harvest.
It is nearly impossible to overcome the elves’ wariness and gain their favor.
Since we have already gained favor in the name of healing the World Tree, we can safely expect that if we add more, we will probably be treated similarly to our compatriots.
Don’t do it if it doesn’t work out.
“Hatchling….”
Instead of trying to call Hatchling, he closed his mouth.
There is something I heard from the World Tree.
It’s too late to give your hatchling a name.
The hatchling has already recognized me as its parent, but now that it has recognized me, it would be impossible to drop it.
They say that if you delay in giving a hatchling a name, it could cause confusion in its identity and eventually turn into a demon dragon.
He says it would be better to give him a name as soon as possible.
The demon dragon also attacks its parents, and other dragons will not forgive the owner who turned the hatchling into a demon dragon.
After hearing that, I started thinking about hatchlings again.
Unknowingly, the hatchling was thinking that he would return to being among the dragons.
But regardless of that thought, I was pampering him.
Since we will be together anyway, is there any need to leave it alone?
-Your name is your name! My name too!
The hatchling was in that state all day after listening to the World Tree.
He looked at me expectantly and kept saying my name.
Now I even sing it.
‘That’s a burden.’
It looked like that until I gave it a name.
“Do you want a name like that?”
-Yes! want to have!
The hatchling may have been excited by hearing the name, but was unable to suppress his energy and let it out.
Fortunately, it was only brief, but the brief aftermath had a significant impact on nearby creatures.
At least that was the case for the tied elves.
“100 million!”
“Ugh!”
Everyone screamed and fell to the ground.
He couldn’t bear the hatchling’s energy and fainted.
Unlike them, I wasn’t affected much.
Maybe that’s why my body has become so strong.
“The name is the name… Is anything okay?”
-Cool name! I want everyone who hears it to know that I am a dragon!
Well, I hope everyone who hears it knows that it’s a dragon… Then, of course, Yongyong is the best.
Saying that name will probably make you sulk for a while.
Why did you just give me such a trivial name?
While thinking about what name to give, my eyes fell on the hatchling’s scales.
Shiny pure white scales.
Silver Dragon. A dragon with strong ice attributes.
I can’t remember it well. As expected, Yongyong is the best.
“Or how about Mir?”
It was also the name given by the main characters to their pet dragons in their creations.
It’s hard to find a cool name, but something like Yongyong is a bit weird, so that’s why I gave it a name.
And the name Mir means dragon, so it was an appropriate name.
-It’s tacky! Please delete another name!
“Then do you do Reems? A name that means winter….”
-Reems! Like it! From now on, my name is Riems!
I was just saying something that came to mind, but I guess I liked it as the hatchling, or Riems, flapped its wings and flew around me.
‘…I think it’s shining now, but is it my imagination?’
It seemed like the horn on Riems’ forehead suddenly gave off a bright light, but I may have been mistaken.
It may have happened before I could blink, or I may have mistakenly seen the reflection of sunlight.
-Reems! Reemseuuu!
“Do you like it that much?”
-good night! I also have a name now!
Reems smiles brightly.
It was so cute that I smiled without knowing.
As I watched Riems moving around, I felt like I had to get out, so I grabbed the strings that were tying the traitors.
And I dragged myself towards the door, and the door opened on its own before I could even open it.
“Ah, the benefactor has appeared!”
And I was able to find elves looking at me and shouting.
