Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Chapter 33 – Development (3)

Chapter 33 – Development (3)

“Hmm.”

When they came early and waited for Serenian, using drones to watch the elves. I saw a small figure sneaking up here.

This is Ren, one of the few elves whose name and face I have memorized. One of the two young elves who came here for the first time since Serenian.

I don’t think she sent it. She didn’t want to reveal the existence of this place and the facts about me to the other elves.

Ren and Leah, who are a little special with her, probably know about me, but they, too, didn’t let her in here.

Then, after all, is Ren’s move toward this place a sudden and arbitrary act?

“—…”

Ren noticed the drone flying next to her, and she said something, as if making an excuse. Seeing her notice, she was convinced. Ren’s actions right now are arbitrary.

‘Should I come back later?’

I was troubled for a short time. I know the reason why Serenian maintains security against me. It is also to prevent confusion, and because maintaining the mystery is more advantageous for governing the elves.

It’s just that I haven’t seen Ren and Leah in person, but they already know my identity and existence, so showing them doesn’t change anything from before.

“Hello?”

“Ah…”

So I decided to just meet him. I’ve watched him from before, but it seemed like he wasn’t a thoughtless kid, throwing himself into a fight at a moment of crisis that was difficult to overcome with Serenian’s power alone. I wanted to hear why the kid who listened to Serenian made this choice.

“Serenian said that other elves wouldn’t be able to come here, but it doesn’t look like you. What did you come for?”

I retrieved the drone and said with a smile. Compared to Ren, who ran without hesitation, when he actually met me, his eyes widened and his mouth widened.

“The Priest of the Spirit..?”

“Right. I am the one who hears and delivers what he has to say.”

I also smoked quite a bit. I naturally introduced myself as a priest and invited Ren to sit down. It was a seat in front of a bonfire made of decorative stones, where Serenian always sits when he comes here.

“That, I was just… Curious. Both human beings and divine priests.”

“I can fully understand.”

Ren, who was sitting in the seat, was completely frozen and staring at the ground, unlike his usual appearance.

Because of the characteristics of elves, who grow at the same rate as humans even though they are over 200 years old, and aging is concentrated at the last moment, the Ren in front of me is literally just a teenage boy.

I know from my own experience that it was a time when people were full of curiosity and reckless.

“Since Serenian saw the number of his people increasing, feeling how they admired the help of the spirits, he thought that keeping my existence and meeting a secret would be helpful in dealing with the group. At the same time, it is also a consideration for me. Unlike the elves, I am alone.”

“That, that is.”

I think Ren didn’t know why Serenian didn’t let me meet, or he was mistaken. Especially when she said that she was considerate of me, she became contemplative and stuttered her words. As the saying goes, her own assertive behavior now was an act that got in my way.

“It was just a little unfair. I never meant to disturb the priest.”

“It was unfair. In some aspects?”

Bewildered, Ren poured out gibberish and made excuses. I had no intention of blaming him, so I smiled faintly and tried to ask a question about my true feelings that leaked out in the process.

“I thought that if I fought back without being afraid, I would be of greater help to the chief in the future… But that doesn’t seem to be the case.”

In the end, Ren confessed her deeper sincerity.

She knew that she would be recognized as an adult after the difficult and dangerous events she overcame together with Serenian, but as other people of her kind migrated, she realized that she had become just like the other boys. .

It was a worry that was appropriate for her age, when she wanted to be acknowledged, and it was a pitiful situation that brought out a bitter smile.

“A normal adult might just tell you to wait a little longer. Time goes by quickly anyway, and it’s true that you’re immature. But I’m a little different Because I was like that too.”

Looking at Ren wandering around, I blurted out my story for a while.

Like the elves who immigrated to a new world, at that time our society was in great confusion and despair.

I was also an immature child like Ren. However, what is a little different from Ren is that I had powers that surpassed those of ordinary adults.

I couldn’t stay still with that power. It was unbearable pain for my family to stand still just because I was immature while people were dying and being torn apart.

“I saw how you fought when there were only three people here, including Serenian and his little brother. So I can give you a chance if you want, if you’re prepared for that.”

I held out the drone controller in her hand to Ren.

“Uh, that’s a device that allows you to communicate with the divine beast. By using it, you can freely manipulate the divine beast and borrow its power. You deserve it.”

“I-I can’t believe it!”

Hearing my words trying to explain to the Eden elf, who regards drones as gods, Ren opened her eyes wide and awkwardly operated the drone’s controller.

Perhaps he is still young, Ren absorbed my explanations and knowledge like a sponge in that short time and started handling drones.

There is enough talent. With repeated practice, you might be able to handle it better than me.

‘If you have an operator, it will be a huge advantage for dungeon raids.’

It is the fate of the elves who have migrated here to conquer the dungeons in the flower pots that are not known why. The dungeon raid was something I was tired of.

So, in the process, I know how important it is to have an operator who handles various equipment including reconnaissance drones.

Because of the nature of rear support, it is also safe, so I thought of giving Ren the ‘role’ he wanted by using the 5th opportunity to send a new drone and controller with adjusted magnification to Ren, who showed a willingness to fight.

Because objects that have become smaller along with my body cannot pass through cracks like me.

‘Is Serenian angry?’

Looking at Ren’s brightly smiling face as he watched the drone move according to his will, the thought of taking care of it suddenly came to mind, but the water had already spilled.

***

“But Ren is still young and immature. Besides, there is no way that a child who disobeys orders and behaves unexpectedly will be given that opportunity.”

“Serenian, I would like to say this to you, but you are not in a very relaxed situation right now.”

Serenian’s reaction was natural. She brought her own food to give to him with her somewhat excited mind, and she was furious with Ren for disobeying her own order and came here on her own, and was embarrassed by the appearance of her seunghyeon surrounding him. .

“This is the will of the divine spirit. You can’t carry all the responsibilities on your own, so Ren, who has been by your side to help you through the toughest times, will carry the burden with you.”

“If you say that, then I…”

He laughed and said it was the will of her spirit, and she let out a sigh, losing her words. She gave up on further nagging and slumped back in her seat, although she glanced and glared once more at her hunched back in the corner.

“Today, a divine spirit saved our lives. With the punishment pouring down from the sky, he defeated the crowd of monsters at once.”

“It will be difficult to have that kind of help all the time.”

“I think so.”

Changing her complex expression, she smiled at her Seunghyeon, mentioning the help of the spirits that had happened today.

“Tell him. Thank you so much.”

“Sure. And… I think I’ll have to replace the black bull’s heart soon.”

He flinched at that smile and changed the subject. The topic that turned was replacing the battery of Battlebot 001, which is expected to run out of battery life.

Unlike drones that could freely fly in and out of flowerpots, Battlebots had to replace batteries inside, and that had to be done entirely by the elves.

“I will teach Ren how to do that. Let Len take the lead and help us do the job.”

“You can do that… you can do it.”

Serenian frowned slightly as if she didn’t like her saying that she would teach Ren her way, but she straightened her face again and nodded her head. .

“Are you not lonely? That alone guards this place. Is it poison to you that I blocked other elves from entering?”

Just like that, when today’s meeting comes to an end. Serenian, who sent Ren first and used the battery he brought to charge the radio, said so indirectly.

He himself brought children and his own people not long after and created a bustling village, but this herb pot was always cold.

“Not alone, but with you. I still come here like this. And it doesn’t matter what other people come in. Do what you like. It will be hard to see anyway.”

He smiled and replied that it was nothing. Her herb pot is just a place to stop by to meet her, because outside of her pot, she always watched over her elves and was with them.
