Chapter 584
Raon raised his head with a smile. The World Tree waved its branches as if it was happy to see you, dispersing the pure energy of nature.
‘Thank you for remembering.’
I was convinced from the moment I saw the memories of my ancestors. Because the World Tree is a spiritual creature, it will still remember how its ancestors saved its life.
At first, it seemed confused and did not react, but as soon as the manga ball’s energy penetrated the outer shell and entered the inside, the world tree remembered its ancestors and expressed its joy and gratitude through a huge flow of mana.
The waves of emotion spreading out from the World Tree made my heart ache.
“How can this be…”
The elder’s chin trembled with a pale complexion.
“That’s ridiculous!”
“How can they react like that to humans…”
“This is the first time I’ve seen the World Tree become so vibrant…”
“Am I dreaming right now?”
The elders and other elves also blinked blankly, as if they had never imagined a situation like this.
“Wow, how did you do this?”
Rimmer, perhaps embarrassed, swallowed his dry saliva as he looked at the shaking branches of the World Tree.
“I told you! “I heard you’re the human Spirit King’s contractor!”
Erian raised his hands and said that he believed. He was an elf even crazier than Rimmer.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
Stelin came next to me and let out a high-pitched voice.
“What on earth did you do?”
“yes?
“I don’t know about others, but the World Tree is now thanking you.”
He looked up at the World Tree with trembling eyes, as if he was having a convulsion.
“Why is the World Tree thanking you for the first time?”
Stelin’s gaze falls again. He narrowed his eyes as if he couldn’t understand.
“I thought it was strange ever since you started betting with confidence. Have you ever met the World Tree before?”
“No, this is my first time.”
Raon shook his head as he smoothed the outer skin of the world tree.
“But how…”
“Now the World Tree is thanking Sieghart’s swordsman, not me.”
“Sieghardt’s… prosecutor?”
“yes. “It’s written in Sieghardt’s book of martial arts, which I learned…”
He told everyone that he had seen in the book the memory of his ancestors that he had seen a little while ago.
“I can’t believe it!”
The Great Elder shook his head and shouted that it was a lie.
“The World Tree was created not by humans, but by elves…”
“You will know when you see this.”
Raon swept down the area where Seonjo had filled the hole with his hand, which was burning with the heat of a cartoonist.
Even though it was burning, the World Tree poured out mana filled with even more intense emotions of welcome. I naturally smiled at the faint yet sweet scent of Mana.
“Ah….”
“I feel it too. Now the World Tree is shouting gratitude…”
“I really thought it was Sieghardt who helped me?”
The elves felt the intensified emotions of the World Tree and their lips trembled.
“Ha…”
Stelin laughed and grabbed his forehead.
“I see. I did…”
“Yes?”
“When looking at the records of the time, there were so many strange things that I thought there was help from someone other than an elf, but now the mystery is resolved.”
He came over and held both my hands tightly. A warmth that seemed to contain my heart penetrated my hand.
“Your ancestors saved the elves and the World Tree.”
Stelin nodded, saying he finally understood the whole situation.
Raon curled the corners of his mouth as he looked at the trembling elders and elders.
‘It worked.’
If I had told this at first, I would have been kicked out immediately, calling me crazy.
However, thanks to the Grand Elder’s decision and the World Tree’s strong response, the elves here could no longer doubt me.
‘I can eat it properly.’
No matter how much I bet, it would be difficult to get everything I wanted from the elder since this was Seifia, but thanks to the story of my ancestor, I felt like I could receive more than what was promised.
‘Now you won’t even say that you are the Spirit King’s contractor.’
Raon looked at Erian with a smile on his face. He gave me a thumbs up and welcomed me with a deeper smile.
“I didn’t become the Spirit King’s contractor for nothing! After all, the world is fair!”
Erian still seemed to think of me as a contractor of the Spirit King. He was truly single-minded and had no answer.
“No one would doubt the sight of the World Tree being so happy.”
Sterin looked up at the World Tree for a while and then calmly nodded. He bent down with his joined hands placed on his chest.
“The guardian of Seifia meets the descendant of his benefactor.”
“I meet the descendants of my benefactor.”
Not only Sterin but also the elves surrounding the World Tree bowed their heads in the same posture as promised.
“Don’t do this.”
Raon waved his hand. Since I did not tell the story of my ancestors to receive such a greeting, I immediately brought Stelin to his feet.
“I didn’t do it, my ancestors did it.”
“That ancestor is no longer there. “You should at least accept my greeting.”
Sterin shook his head, saying that even elves know what grace is.
“It’s really fine. “I don’t need to say thank you…”
Raon licked his lips and looked at the elder who was the only one who did not bow his head.
“I just want to receive an apology from the author.”
“Ugh!”
At his words, the elder trembled so violently that his shoulder felt like it was going to be torn off.
“It wasn’t enough to ignore the descendants of my benefactor, so I tried to kick them out…”
Rimmer shook his head as he looked at the elder.
“I should have killed my personality.”
He clicked his tongue, saying that he would do all the disgrace to the elves.
Raon approached the elder and tilted his chin.
“Are you deaf? “I told you to kneel, but why are you still standing?”
“I can’t believe it!”
The Great Elder bit his lip and shook his head.
“I can’t believe it was a human who saved the World Tree….”
“Uh. “Don’t believe it.”
Raon interrupted the elder and calmly nodded.
“uh…?”
The elder’s eyes widened as if he didn’t know he would accept it so easily.
“Regardless of whether you believe it or not. “Kneel down.”
Raon pointed to the floor with his finger and curled up the corner of his mouth.
“The fact that you kneel has nothing to do with the fact that I am a descendant of my benefactor. “The proud elder of the elves won’t break his promise now, right?”
“Then why are you suddenly stopping talking?”
“Because you spoke informally first.”
It was funny that an elf cared about speaking informally, but he answered kindly.
-This guy is a sexist for polite language!
Lars shook his head, saying he was sick of it.
“Ugh…”
The elder looked around with a red face as if he was out of breath.
However, the elders and elves no longer stood behind him.
“Oh, where is the person who will do everything you want?”
Raon raised the end of his sentence and let out a mockery.
“do. “Do it!”
The elder muttered that elves, unlike humans, do not lie, and then fell to his knees trembling.
“Is it done now?…”
“No.”
Raon shook his head and called Stelin and Siyan aside.
“The terms of the bet were that you would kneel and apologize to the three of us for being rude. “Please ask for forgiveness one by one with all your heart.”
I looked down at Daejangro with my arms crossed.
“Ugh…”
The Grand Elder lowered his head for a while and then turned towards Stelin, who was standing on his right.
“Guardian Su. “I apologize for being rude.”
He lowered his head, his voice shaking.
“You need to get out of character a little.”
“Yes…”
“I will accept your apology.”
Stelin frowned but accepted the elder’s apology. It was a reaction befitting a noble personality.
“Whew…”
The Great Elder let out a deep sigh and looked at Shi Yan standing to his left.
“Si Siyan. “I’m sorry for saying you won’t be able to see it.”
He also bowed his head to Shi Yan and asked for forgiveness.
“It’s okay.”
Siyan nodded, covering herself with a blanket. I thought she would be uncomfortable in this position due to her personality, but strangely, her voice was filled with vitality.
“Then now it’s my turn.”
Raon tilted his chin and told him to give it a try.
“Ugh…”
The elder let out a groan as if he was out of breath and looked up at Raon, who was standing in the center.
“I have been rude to you. “I’m sorry.”
Unlike when he asked Stelin Siyan for forgiveness, he did not lower his head, but only nodded a little and muttered his words so that it was hard to hear.
“Whoa….”
“Why are you getting up without even apologizing properly?”
When the elder sighed and tried to get up, Raon pressed down on his shoulder.
“What nonsense! “Didn’t you apologize properly?”
He showed a ferocious tone as if he couldn’t accept it.
“Unlike when you spoke to the guardian, you didn’t bow your head properly and you lowered your voice.”
“That…”
“I told you to ask for forgiveness with all your heart, right? I didn’t feel your sincerity.
Raon lightly let go of the Grand Elder’s powerful energy wave and snapped his fingers.
“You say you’ll do everything you ask, but you can’t even properly apologize.”
“What Raon said is correct.”
Stelin looked at the Grand Elder and nodded.
“You clearly said that you would do everything you could. “I made an oath that I should never have sworn, so I have no choice but to keep it.”
He raised his hand and pointed to the elves who were currently watching here. It meant keeping your sanity in front of your family.
“Haaa…”
The elder faced the sunken eyes of the other elves and then knelt down again.
“I’m sorry. “I was rude to you.”
He bowed his head solemnly, as he did to Stelin, and did not mince his words like before.
“Hmm…”
“It’s okay.”
Stelin and Rimmer also seemed to have accepted it as they gently rested their chins.
“Then…”
When the elder was about to stand up, Raon grabbed his shoulder again.
“I don’t like it. again.”
Raon said that was not enough and gestured with his chin.
“profit! “Like you said, you didn’t lower your voice and you even bowed your head properly!”
“You didn’t reveal what rudeness you committed. “Have you never written a reflection paper?”
He just said he was rude and didn’t say what he did.
Since the most important thing was missing, there was no reason to accept forgiveness.
“Reflection…”
The elder’s hands shook as if he had taken drugs, and then he knelt down again.
“I committed the rudeness of ignoring a human being and treating him like a sinner. “I’m sorry.”
He ended up asking for forgiveness three times.
“I guess that’s enough, right?”
“This time, the angle was a little different when I lowered my head.”
Raon waved his hand, saying there was still a long way to go.
“Ahh….”
“Wow….”
“I’m crazy.”
Despair filled the elder’s eyes, and the other elves’ complexions turned pale. Everyone realized that they had been caught by a crazy person.
Raon eventually helped him up after receiving six apologies from the elder.
“Is this done now?”
The Grand Elder gasped, looking as if he was 100 years older.
“You haven’t given me any fruit from the mountain yet.”
I shook my head and stretched out my hand.
“Don’t worry. “I will send it to your dorm.”
The Great Elder shook his head, saying that was not a lie.
“Then please take care of 100.”
Raon nodded lightly.
“A hundred pears! “What do you mean?”
The elder, who had his back turned, shouted loudly.
“what?”
“Why did there suddenly become 100 fruits?”
“I thought there were 100 from the beginning?”
“I didn’t tell you that, and now…”
“I said I would grant you everything you wanted, so I just didn’t tell you.”
He pointed at the elder with his finger and shrugged his shoulders.
“Ugh….”
The elder couldn’t refute and just chewed his lips. He was completely caught up in his own words.
“There are 100. “You can’t miss even one thing.”
Raon cheerfully waved his hand at the red-faced elder. It would really be difficult to receive 100, but I decided to at least get enough to give 2 to each of the Gwangpungdae guys.
“Did I tell you? “I will show you what a real asshole is.”
Rimmer jumped forward and pointed at Raon.
“This guy is such a mess. “The greatest bastard in the human world!”
He chuckled, shouting to the elves to be careful.
-It’s not the human world, it’s the entire dimension.
Lars gritted his teeth as he watched that scene.
-There is no such idiot even in the demon world!
* * *
The elder fell down with a face as pale as a corpse and was eventually carried out with support from other elves.
Raon quenched his appetite as he watched the Great Elder walking away.
‘What should I use the remaining favor for?’
-It’s not enough to just tear off the skin and apply the flesh, so they also boil the bones.
Lars shook his head, saying it was terrible.
‘That’s the delicious way to eat fish.’
Raon tapped Lars with his elbow, asking if he knew everything.
-But how do you know that your ancestors saved the World Tree?
‘I told you earlier. ‘I came to see my ancestors.’
-uh…?
Lars twitched his eyes and then made his face.
-Was that real?
‘Well…’
Raon shrugged his shoulders and looked at the World Tree.
‘Here you go.’
Just above where Sieghardt’s ancestor filled the hole was where his sword had stuck.
‘It was a sword.’
His swordsmanship was different from both the holy sword practice and Stelin’s martial arts skills. I can’t explain it in detail, but it seemed to have a special power.
‘If that’s Mangagong’s swordsmanship, I might be able to use it someday, too.’
Raon placed his hand on the spot where the hole had been filled, making a promise to the future.
Wooooow!
The World Tree let out a sound like a sword, as if it was happy.
“Oh oh!”
“The world tree becomes happy as soon as that human touches it!”
“You really seem to be a descendant of your benefactor.”
“He is the man who makes the world tree cry. “There will be chaos.”
Now most of the elves here regard me as their benefactor. I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t want this kind of reaction.
‘It was an attempt to trample on the Great Elder and take away the sound of the Spirit King’s contract, but only strange rumors were added.’
Still, I’m glad I was able to touch the World Tree comfortably.
Thanks to their name as descendants of benefactors, no one bothered them even if they touched the World Tree as they pleased.
Raon took advantage of the gap and pushed Manga Ball’s energy into the world tree that burned his hand.
‘It’ll be in here.’
It is clear that this is where our ancestors placed the beads. If you search carefully, you will find it.
However, even after searching for a while with the heat of the manga ball and the coldness of Glacia, no special energy was felt inside the World Tree.
I could sense the small remnants of fire and water, but the huge energy I felt in my memory had disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Raon looked up at the World Tree with squinted eyes.
‘Has everything become fertilizer for the World Tree?’
Hundreds of years, maybe even a thousand years had passed, so it would not be surprising if all the energy of the beads left behind by the ancestors had been absorbed.
‘It’s a little disappointing.’
Raon clicked his tongue briefly and took his hand off the World Tree.
“hmm?”
As I turned around, I saw Siyan looking at the base of the World Tree.
“Here…”
Siyan pointed at the shell of the world tree he was holding a moment ago with one eye half open.
“Oh, would you like me to move out of the way?”
“That’s not it. Here…”
When Raon tried to pull away, Siyan shook his head.”
“This is a place I often went to with my mom.”
Bitterness flowed from her low voice.
‘Mom…’
Rimmer didn’t look for any other family besides Stelin and Siyan. I didn’t ask because I didn’t feel good, but as expected, it seemed that other family members, including their parents, were not in this world.
“When my mom had me, she said she often came here and enjoyed the breeze from the World Tree.”
Siyan, wrapped in a blanket, leaned back against the area where the ancestors had filled the hole.
“I feel at ease when I come here.”
She muttered that she couldn’t come often because she was being noticed.
“okay.”
Raon nodded and then stopped.
‘Wait a minute…’
As I listened to her words, one thing came to mind.
‘Las.’
-Why are you calling me?
Lars, who had been yawning, rose up, dozing off.
‘You said Siyan was blocked by something deep and dark since birth, right?’
-It was like that.
The guy frowned, asking why he was asking again.
‘Then there is a possibility.’
Raon approached Siyan and stretched out his hand.
“I’m sorry, but may I take a look at Siyan?”
