The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 208
“…Damn it.”
Ah, new….
The World Tree, who had learned to swear words in a short period of two years, looked around with complicated eyes.
Just two years ago, this area was full of their own children… ….
「How did it happen?」
Lee Chon-hyang-
do leaves the countryside and heads for the city.
No, if that’s the case, wouldn’t that mean that the place where you are now is a farming village?
It can’t be!
There is no other place where life is as abundant and plants grow as well!
Good for health and peace of mind!
How good is this… ….
“Oh mother….”
Prince Jihad was at a loss and tried to comfort the World Tree, who was in deep despair.
Tears like chicken droppings flowed from the beautiful eyes of the World Tree.
“It’s miserable, really…It was really good until the owner of
the new object appeared along with the set and solved the problem.
it couldn’t be any better than that.
It was good until there… ….
“My child….”
“Uh yeah….”
“Is this place really a cove?”
“How could that be!”
Jihad shouted.
As if it was nonsense, he banged his head against the world tree with pitiful eyes.
“How could we leave our mother and go somewhere else!” “
Is that so ?”
It’s okay!”
“…Huh?」
Secretly, the World Tree watched Jihad.
I must have just heard something strange… ….
“Your mother’s throat is not good. Didn’t you just say it was
n’t a cove? ”
Jihad said, scratching his head with a subtle expression.
“Is it true that you are in the corner?”
Due to the nature of the elves, being in a remote place is not necessarily a bad thing.
They are a beautiful and noble race.
Beautiful things, of course, call for greed.
Officially, the Empire does not treat slaves and it is legally prohibited, but the world does not necessarily follow the law.
There are bound to be rogues who are greedy for anything… ….
So, the location is not bad.
In a corner like this, there are bound to be few greedy beings.
yeah not bad
This isn’t too bad… ….
“The old corner….」
muttered in a shocked voice.
For her, the place she is confident in is nature itself, a space overflowing with endless vitality.
isn’t that good
Just by being here, creatures will spread their good influence in the overflowing vitality!
“My child, do you think the other children will keep leaving me…?”
“Kuh hmm….”
“Look into my eyes and tell me! Why are you averting your eyes!”
Jihad raised his head slightly with a bitter expression.
How the hell did this happen?
Even the prince of the clan couldn’t understand it.
What’s out there… ….
“I can’t live like this! After all, we need a clear solution!
”
Didn’t the fairy king take the lead and declare that day?
That I would not be confined to this forest alone.
“Actually, there are people who go just because they like the outside world, but there are also people who go out of their own sense of mission.”
The problem is that there are too many of them.
It is impossible to forcefully stop it.
“But this time it will be different,”
said the World Tree.
“The word different…”
“I called the best child for this job. That child will surely solve the problem.”
Jihad’s head turned quickly.
Pretty good enough to say she’s a ‘suitable kid’.
What immediately came to mind was… ….
“Are you talking about Mikhail?”
“That’s right.”
Mikhail Walpurgis, a benefactor of the elves and a hero who is currently making a big success as a hero.
“Certainly he…“
Something will come up with a solution.
Yes, it must have been… ….
Why?
‘Would it be okay?’
A strange feeling of uneasiness rises.
* * *
“Go to the fairy forest.”
At my words, Lian said with an expression of absurdity.
“Have you decided on a destination yet?”
“It looks like the World Tree has another task for you. I should go and see.”
“…Wait, world demand?”
Ariandel looked at me with wide eyes.
Then, as if he had heard a great story, his eyes twinkled.
“Mikhail, am I right now? The destination we are going to now is the world tree… …”
“Yes, that world tree is correct.”
At those words, her mouth fell open.
“Three world trees….”
“and….”
Eileen, who was next to her, also had her eyes twinkled with a surprised expression.
Come to think of it, he wasn’t there at the time.
The world tree thing happened before Eileen also joined.
Eileen was uncharacteristically excited.
“So you’re saying you can see the world tree this time?! The mother of all nature and the primordial tree… …”
“What is right?”
Certainly, the ‘World Tree’ is a legend itself.
Of course, from the point of view of the two, it was an opportunity to see the existence that had only been heard of as a legend.
Of course I have to be excited.
‘Escape… ….’
When I thought about that, my face naturally frowned.
Rather than saying that this is unpleasant, I would say that there is something absurd… ….
‘How did things go so wrong?’
I thought I had solved it well, but how did that lead to the elves’ exodus?
I’ll take care of it, really.
If the World Tree himself had tried to lead the elves like a tyrant, he would have made a great escape.
Isn’t this just a natural phenomenon?
The elves couldn’t be confined to the forest forever.
However, the problem was that the number of elves who escaped was beyond imagination.
More than half of them were out of the woods.
Most of them are young elves.
Generally, it is not unusual for so many elves to leave the forest at once.
However, this case was a little different.
Until now, elves have been extremely restrained, concerned about the health of their mother, the World Tree.
He didn’t leave the forest, and he didn’t allow himself the minimum hobby he should have enjoyed.
It would have been like torture.
But that long torture finally came to an end in my hands.
The patience of the elves came to an end as well.
Especially among them, those who are relatively young and full of energy.
It wasn’t that they went out of their way in a violent way to rebel, but as soon as the situation was resolved, they suddenly escaped from the forest and went out into the world.
In the first place, none other than the Fairy King declared that.
[Hmm, honestly, I don’t think that was what he meant… ….]
Set also said, unable to hide his embarrassment.
Although the Fairy King said he wouldn’t be trapped in the forest anymore or something… ….
‘But it’s not too bad to escape all at once like that.’
In any case, it is said that the world tree is suffering from a formidable depression.
Also, there is a situation here.
The World Tree, which barely escaped from the remnants, does not seem to be in a completely healthy state psychologically.
A very brief depression.
However, for a divine being, that ‘moment’ is never short.
The elves didn’t even think about the depression.
Gloomy world tree.
In short, I am now going to solve the cause of that ‘depression’.
‘…Well, I was planning to go anyway, so it’s not too twisted.’
why did you plan to go
Simple.
To save Mayer’s breath.
The last ingredient needed to make the elixir was from the World Tree.
At the time, I had no intention of making an elixir right away, and I had already received another one, so I didn’t really care.
Things are different now.
Circle 8 is just around the corner, and an elixir is needed to quickly reach that level.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that if I could get my hands on Mayer’s breath with this issue, it would certainly be a profitable business.
“Then let’s go quickly.”
Even the remnants of the World Tree have been removed and the influence is still there, so what’s the big deal?
okay.
It won’t be a big deal. really.
* * *
“Hmm, it’s strange that there’s an existence the size of a world tree intertwined with, but nothing happens. There must be a serious problem connected with the demon somewhere, so I assume that this time again, I will roll and roll again and again, and I will end up saying ‘Fuck!’”
[What bullshit?]
“It’s voodoo.”
I gave a rough answer to Seth’s words and looked at the road to the fairy forest with a relaxed look.
Voodoo!
Human language is more powerful than you think.
Opposite of saying yes!
That is the effect of voodoo.
“If reality flows contrary to my thoughts, then if I think the opposite of my thoughts, my wish might come true…”
[Mikhail is sick too?]
said Set, looking at me worriedly.
[Well, I’ve been through that, but it’s not easy to stay sane. I understand.]
“What are you talking about, I’m extremely sane.”
What about voodoo… ….
This is a very good spell.
‘Did you get rid of it?’ It seems like it’s not the first time or two that I’ve said the same thing and been in trouble.
However, Set still only touched my forehead with an expression of looking at someone who is sick.
You weren’t such a caring personality. why are you doing this all of a sudden
It’s a bit like this one.
Should I say that it’s like dealing with a torturer who doesn’t know when it will burst.
Anyway, something is uncomfortable.
“I’m really fine, so trust me.”
[Uhm….]
Set nodded, still looking very uneasy.
[…] …Yug It would be nice if it wasn’t a big deal.]
“Oh, that.”
When I said that he seemed to care about me unnecessarily, I wonder if he was anxious in his own way.
“No matter what you do, it is a transcendent existence. I don’t think a being of that level could withstand something like this.”
[Uhm….]
The world tree has existed for a long time and has tasted all kinds of bitterness.
It wouldn’t be difficult to endure in any way.
“You don’t know that, Mikhail,”
said Set in a bitter voice.
[Because nothing is permanent. I also don’t think this incident that Yug is going through will spread much.]
“Are you still anxious?”
[Even the great god right now couldn’t last forever.]
“…That’s right.”
It was as Sett said.
All of this we are experiencing now began with Asar’s death.
Yes, it is true that even that great being could not be immortal.
but.
“But it won’t be this time.”
[…] …Um?]
“I am here.”
Yes, even if there comes a time when the World Tree won’t stand the test of time, it won’t be now.
i won’t make that
At that, Set stared blankly at me for a moment.
But soon he smiles.
[Well, you are.]
Seth nodded with a more worried voice.
[You’re right, Mikhail.]
* * *
We reached the fairy forest smoothly while continuing small conversations.
A huge forest can be seen in the distance.
And in the middle of the forest stood a great primordial tree.
truly spectacular.
“ah.”
Eileen and Ariandel burst into exclamation with their eyes shining.
Well, from the point of view of those who haven’t seen the fairy forest, it’s a truly exhilarating sight.
“Still, it’s not as big as I thought. I thought there was a fire in the forest because there was something wrong.”
“I mean.”
Lian and the butler had a conversation while scanning the surroundings in a low voice.
Certainly there seems to be no problem.
Well, the immediate decrease in the number of elves living in the forest could have directly changed something… ….
– Awaken Awaken!
– Commoner fairies are hard!
– Improved fairy economy!
there is
We stopped at a strange sight at the entrance of the forest.
There are hundreds of Dirges… ….
No, the fairies of the forest were shouting loudly with signposts.
[No, what is this?]
Set, who saw that, said in a ridiculous voice.
[…] …What are they doing now?]
…That’s it.
