Episode 87 A world tree that sparkles?
Cough.
Cough.
There was constant noise from underground, but the ground was calm.
…
As time passed, even the sound coming from the ground disappeared. That was the end. What remains are two fresh green leaves rising above the ground and a name appearing on them.
[Powerful Purifying Ent]
“What? Is it over?”
When Sejun was dumbfounded by the result, which was different from the loud noise, he was hooked
.
Something came up from underneath the sprout. No, to be exact, it came up with sprouts.
And
pudduk.
A powerful purifying Ent, about 20cm thick and 50cm tall, rose from the ground and stretched out in a posture of hurrah, raising both arms.
And
pop, pop, pop.
A powerful Purifying Ent with green leaves on its head began to walk past Sejun.
“Huh?! Hey! Where are you going?”
Sejun asked, putting his hand on the Ent’s body. Sejun’s talent, nature’s friend, made communication possible.
But
[Ent… protects…]
“What are you saying?”
Sejun asked again, but
[…]
he was a friend who didn’t say much.
Blow. Blow. Blow.
Sejun had no choice but to follow behind the powerful Purifying Ent.
And
[Master! Welcome!]
The place we arrived was in front of the fireworks.
Blow. Blow. Blow.
The powerful Purifying Ent began to swirl around the Flame as if trying to protect it.
“Do you know why the Ents are like this?”
[Wait. I’ll ask.]
Flame had a conversation with Ent.
[The Ent’s mission is to protect the World Tree.]
“World Tree? But why does the flame protect you?”
[I don’t know. He will protect me without any mercy. Fireworks are strong!]
As Fireworks spoke, he fluttered his leaves as if throwing a jab in the air.
“Okay. First of all, keep an eye on Flame to make sure he doesn’t do anything strange.”
[yes! Please leave it to me! I’ll keep an eye on it!]
Sejun had Fireworks monitor the Ents and
asked, “Aileen, do you know about the World Tree?”
I asked Eileen for information.
[The manager of the tower says that the World Tree is a tree with a powerful power of abundance, and beings recognized for living next to the World Tree can enjoy the benefits of abundance.]
“Then what about Ents?”
[The tower manager says that Ents are originally the guardians of the World Tree.]
“Then our Flame is the World Tree?”
[The tower manager tells them to wait a moment.]
***
When Sejun asked Eileen if the apple tree was the world tree, Eileen said
, “Uh…”
She was confused. I didn’t even know myself.
So,
“Wait a minute.”
He made Sejun wait and said,
“Grandpa!”
I quickly called Kaiser.
-oh! Eileen~! Do you finally want to talk to this girl?
“Yes! There’s something I want to ask Grandpa.”
-OK! Ask me anything!
“Can I check when the World Tree appears in the tower?”
-Then of course it is possible. In the crystal ball…
Kaiser began explaining to Eileen how to check the World Tree.
And the result.
[Geotap growth conditions]
···
..
.
-World Tree: Not achieved
…
..
.
There was no World Tree in the Black Tower.
“Grandpa, then why do Ents protect a tree that isn’t even the World Tree?”
-Aileen, really? Did Park Sejun ask you this?
“huh?!”
-You bastard! Then you will ask me. Our granddaughter is annoying!
Kaiser was ready to fly to Sejun at any moment and solve Sejun’s curiosity. The black dragon statue began to spread wings.
But,
“Grandpa-! If you tell Sejun everything, I won’t stay still!”
The black dragon statue, which had spread its wings wide in response to Eileen’s threat, folded them again.
***
[The tower manager says that there is not a single world tree in the tower yet.]
“Then why is Ant doing that?”
[Top’s manager says that Ent may have seen the potential of Flame.]
Eileen asked Kaiser in real time and Sejun answered.
“okay?”
Is there a possibility that our fireworks will become the world tree? Sejun looked at Fireworks happily.
At that time,
“Chairman Park! Where did you go?!”
Theo shouted and jumped from the hole in the cave ceiling. It was Theo who was looking for Sejun to rest on Sejun’s lap after playing with the black rabbit Kueng.
Ok.
As soon as Theo landed steadily on all fours,
he crackled.
I ran to Sejun’s lap and clung to him.
And
“Chairman Park, sit down and receive my report!”
Theo told Sejun to sit down. As soon as we arrived, several things happened and we have not yet reported the results of the transaction.
“Ah. I see. Representative Te, did you sell everything this time too?”
Sejun asked as he sat down.
“Of course it’s sold out!”
Theo answered confidently and took money out of his luggage.
824,630 Top Coins. The amount was four times more than the previous transaction.
“Good job. Here’s your incentive.”
Sejun neatly handed 50,000 Top Coins to Theo.
“Thank you! And here are Chairman Park’s favorite things!”
Patter.
Theo took out his belongings and took out Chur and Sejun’s favorite coffee and condiments. There were 70 bags of coffee mix and a lot of salt and pepper.
As the camp on the 38th floor of the tower was activated, each guild was periodically sending supplies, so the hunters had abundant supplies.
“That’s a lot?! Representative Te! Well done!”
Ssuk suk.
Sejun stroked Theo’s back.
“Then how many hours, President Te?”
“Um… I’ll give you 150 hours as a boss.”
“Good! Then, hurry up and say Chuur.”
In response to Sejun’s praise, Theo lay down, showing his belly, and asked for chur.
“okay.”
Boouk.
When Sejun opens the chewer and brings it to Theo’s mouth,
he chomps.
Theo began licking Chuur eagerly.
And
“That’s it, Nyang! I told a guy named Utata…”
While eating chur, he boasted to Sejun about his story of defeating a wandering wild boar merchant on the 38th floor of the tower. Theo’s enjoyable healing time has begun.
After an hour like that,
Gorolong.
Before I knew it, Theo had fallen asleep on Sejun’s lap, being stroked by him.
“Ugh. I need to sleep now.”
When Sejun yawned and got up holding Theo,
[Master! Good night!]
Flame said, shaking the leaves.
“Yes. Sleep well, Flame.”
Sejun said hello to Flame and went to his bedroom and laid down with Theo next to him.
[The tower manager says good night.]
“Yes. Sleep well, Eileen too…”
Sejun answered and fell asleep.
After a while,
“Nyaan…”
Theo, who opened his eyes for a moment out of discomfort, climbed onto Sejun’s lap and settled down.
Gororong.
When you start to hear Theo snoring
.
“Pfft.”
The door opened quietly, and Iona, who had taught magic to Pjumjjang, came in to take a good nap.
And
Kyuolorong.
Iona climbed into Sejun’s lap, covered Theo’s tail, and fell asleep.
***
Dawn of the 257th day of the disaster.
– Park Sejun, you guy! Wake up!”
“Ugh! Yes!”
Sejun hurriedly woke up at the Kaiser’s shout.
-Can you sleep when the enemy is coming?!
“The enemy?”
-Yes. The fallen Ent scouts are coming! Move quickly!
“Yes!”
At Kaiser’s shout, Sejun hurriedly grabbed his weapon and ran west.
At that time ,
“Huh?!”
The one fighting the branch scouts first When I looked closely, it was a one-sided assault.
Puk! Puk! Puk!
A powerful Purification Ent was being beaten by 10 small branch scouts, not befitting the name ‘powerful’. They had
come out to stop the enemies to protect Flame. It seemed like it was so bad that both legs and an arm were broken.
“It’s an Ent!”
Buung
Sejun hurriedly threw the hatchet at one of the branch scouts who was hitting the Ent of Purification.
Puck!
[Kill the small branch scout of the Corrupted Ent. [
Acquired 25 experience points.]
“Retrieve!”
Boom.
While running, Sejun retrieved the hatchet and threw it again. In the meantime, Sejun arrived at the place where the Ent of Purification was.
And
boom!
Boom!
Swinging the dagger and hatchet, he struck the enemy. We killed them. For Sejun, the small twig scouts were gum.
After killing 10 twig scouts like that ,
“Are you okay?”
Sejun asked while looking at Jeonghwa’s Ent.
Muttering.
Munching.
The Ent nodded and He started chewing on the dead tree branch scout’s body.
Grumbling.
Every time he ate the tree, his broken legs and arms began to heal. Ents were able to heal their wounds just by eating the tree.
“Is it good?”
Sejun asked Jeonghwa. As I was watching the Ent recover
,
the enemies came again. This time, there were 15 of them.
“Come!”
Sejun shouted and ran towards the enemies. Sejun fought like that several times. About 10 to 20 of them. It wasn’t difficult because only the small branch scouts came.
***
“Nyan?”
Theo opened his eyes as something was missing. And immediately he noticed that Sejun was not there.
“Where did Chairman Park go?”
Theo looked around and saw Sejun. While he was looking for it
,
he felt something grabbing his tail.
“What?!”
Theo was startled and looked at his tail.
“Qu…no…”
He squirmed.
Iona grabbed his tail. I was holding and shaking and having a nightmare.
“Just this one time.”
Theo attached Iona to his tail and went out to look for Sejun.
***
Munch.
Drizzle.
The Purifying Ent, which continued to eat wood, began fighting the enemy again once its body fully recovered.
But
wow!
After being hit by an enemy’s fist, my arm was broken again. Jeonghwa’s Ant was still very weak.
Munching.
A purifying Ent that eats wood to recover. Perhaps because he ate a lot, he grew a little taller and white flowers began to bloom at the tips of the buds on his head.
“cheer up.”
Sejun wanted to support Jeonghwa’s Ant. It didn’t seem like anyone else’s business.
When Sejun was killing the branch scouts,
“I found it!”
Ok.
Theo came running with Iona hanging on his tail and clung to Sejun’s lap again.
“I’ll take care of everything now! President Park, rest!”
“no. “I’ll fight.”
“Okay.”
Theo wasn’t the type to give advice twice.
“Bwake.”
Thanks to this, Iona’s sweet sleep began again.
The enemy appeared intermittently, so Sejun was able to fight leisurely.
At that time
, puff. puff.
A Purifying Ent approached Sejun.
“Huh? Why?”
Sejun asked, pressing his body against the Ent’s body.
[Seed…ta…]
“Seed? uh?! When did this happen?”
At the end of the bud on the head of the Purifying Ent, a white seed had suddenly formed instead of a flower.
Knock.
Sejun picked the seed.
[Obtained the Seed of the Purifying Ent.]
[Job experience increases slightly. ]
[The skill level of Seedling Lv. 2 increases significantly.]
[The skill level of Seedling Lv. 2 is filled and the level increases.]
Looking at the options, I see that seeds that are not named ‘Powerful’ have the effect of increasing their stats. There wasn’t.
“I have to plant it again.”
Pow.
Sejun immediately dug the ground with a dagger and planted seeds.
Then,
clumping.
After a while, a sprout grew from the ground and one of Jeonghwa’s Ents came up. Chomp.
Chomp. Chomp.
Cheonghwa became two. The Ents started eating the tree together. And when flower buds began to form on the buds of the Ents that had been born earlier, the two who had eaten all the branch scouts returned to Flame.
“Oh! That’s good!”
Sejun thought that he should give trees to the Ents. If he did that, the number of Ents would soon increase.
Sejun went to the place where the trees were piled up behind the house, picked up the trees, and headed to the cave where the Ents were.
( (Master! I brought something good for you!)
The golden bat, which was waiting for Sejun to pass by, called out to him.
