Chapter 62-Conflict(2)
“I’m glad the dwarves liked it.”
“According to what I have heard, it seems that I did not just like it. I’m not sure, but they were serious about that black iron anyway.”
Serenian seemed in a good mood. Even now, I could see the elves carrying the dagger pieces they had cut with the fairy ants.
It is not possible to cut it smaller, so it is quite large, but it seems to move well.
If Serenian’s plan went as planned, now the elves will get proper weapons.
If that happens, clearing dungeons and bringing other elves from outside will gain momentum.
‘There are still a lot of them.’
I put down the walkie-talkie and looked away, looking at the half dagger I had placed next to the flower pot. In fact, the dagger blade I gave them is only half half. With that alone, the elves filled their warehouses.
And what lies next to it.
I got up from my seat and picked it up. I am not the owner of this item. I borrowed it for a short time and had to return it right away.
“Well written. The effect was good.”
“It would have been difficult to write for the first time, but I think you managed to write it well.”
The person I borrowed the small cordless grinder is, of course, the landlord. He smiled at the grinder I returned.
I just laughed it off.
Of course, I’ve never used a cordless grinder like that. If I, who have no dexterity with my hands, had been told to handle it with my bare hands normally, I wouldn’t have been able to cut that hard blade in centimeters.
However, if you use the Hunter’s power, it is possible to use tools more elaborately than using your hands. By fixing the blade and grinder in the air, making a fine groove and then breaking it at once with strong force.
“Are the flower pots growing well?”
But when I nodded goodbye and was about to go back. He tossed it lightly as if it were nothing.
My body flinched even though there was no way he would know the secret of the pot.
“Yes, of course. They are raising them satisfactorily.”
“You can ask me anytime. Two now? Wouldn’t it be nice to increase it even more?”
Somehow the words you say with a chuckle have bones. I want to increase it more, I want to do it as well. It was because I wanted to see how far the world in the flowerpot, which began as a fateful or coincidental encounter, could grow.
“When the time comes, I will definitely help you.”
I was sure that it would increase further, so I answered this, and he nodded his head in delight. In fact, just looking at that figure, he was just caring for a newbie who had the same hobby as himself.
“People who haven’t raised it don’t know. Flower pots definitely benefit us too.”
“…A profit?”
“Sure. Not something obvious like air purification. Obviously benefit don’t you know So, it is to grow.”
However, the last words he said before parting ways were strange. Maybe it was because my head was filled with thoughts of elves living in flower pots.
The benefits of pollen. To be honest, the pleasure I got from watching them was the most precious thing I’ve ever had in my life.
I never really thought of any ‘benefit’ other than that psychological satisfaction. Because they were the size of my fingernails, I didn’t think they could give me anything.

“Chief?”
As people who were busy carrying goods disappeared with their goods, the village became quiet before anyone knew it. Originally, this quietness is also a characteristic of the elven village.
Ren approached and talked to Serenian, who was staring blankly at the town.
“What’s up?”
“Your expression doesn’t look good.”
Serenian smiled reflexively at her Ren, but Ren shook her head. That smile was just a habit to reassure the children.
Indeed, when her ren pointed it out, she flinched and touched her face.
“Did things go wrong?”
“No. It’s not like that.”
After a small sigh, she smiled bitterly.
She tried to hide it from herself, but Ren was no longer an ordinary boy. She was like a priest who was chosen by the spirit of the sky to communicate with the divine beast.
“She said she would do anything, but that was it. Until now, we have only received from Him.”
Serenian confided his concerns to Ren. The worry is that there is no way to help the spirit of the sky.
It was only in the beginning that the help was earnest and desperate. He couldn’t even afford to pay. In fact, it’s still the same now, but I’ve found some composure now.
“I don’t know if you know it, but Ren, a one-sided relationship can never be a healthy relationship.”
It’s been a concern for quite some time. Whenever he had a chance, he told Seunghyeon, the priest of the divine, that he would do anything, but he just laughed awkwardly and passed it over.
“Certainly…What can we give to a being who can move lightning and the sun at will?”
Ren’s words hit the mark. There is nothing I can repay. Because it was true
‘They say showing sincerity is the first priority.’
However, Serenian changed his mind. Even if it’s something of little value to the spirits, it’s right to express their feelings.
‘Do you think so too?’
Serenian, who saw the pattern on the back of his hand that glowed softly, turned his head and looked at the gigantic giant tree that dominates this place.
Unlike the Great Forest’s World Tree, which is exhausting itself just by maintaining the Great Forest, this young World Tree has many things to do.
It was true that they needed food, but it was only possible because even that food could be solved with special hailstones that came down from the sky.
The World Tree now agreed with her words and was shining.
“Heaven always looks down on us and takes care of us, Ren. It would be impossible for her not to return that grace of hers.”
Serenian confirmed the will of the World Tree and made a decision.
If they do what they can, the divine spirits will surely understand their feelings.
The timing didn’t look bad either.
The Elves of Eden, who faced cataclysms while increasing their population, are now preparing to take another leap forward through exchanges with the Dwarves.
It is a leap to emerge as a new clan and power, not just a group of refugees.
The rookie leader, Serenian, continued to feel that a stronger unity and faith were needed to prepare for that.
“Ren, prepare yourself too. Tonight I will pray to God. With the world tree.”
“…Yes.”
Her emerald eyes twinkled as she made up her mind, so Len read them and nodded her head.
“As you all know, starting today we have a deal with a mysterious alien species.”
That evening. As soon as the sun went down, Serenian called his people together. The atmosphere was somewhat solemn, as if they had guessed.
Her elves, crowded in the plaza with only a few of her torches lighting her surroundings, stood on her platform watching her with her mouth shut.
“To keep our true spirit and will, we had to walk the right path. And there is a person who has helped me the most in walking down the road, where obstacles are scattered all over the place.”
She pointed to the sky. In fact, no one in this room could deny her divine spirit.
She already saw with her own two eyes the miracles performed by the spirits and experienced them.
“He has been watching us since the moment I lived in this wasteland with no home, no forest, no food, alone with the World Tree. Now and in the future.”
Serenian emphasized to his people that they should repay the spirits. Giving and receiving is common courtesy and common sense even among elves. Naturally, they all agreed with her.
“What am I supposed to give him?”
“Our strength is not enough, but the World Tree also wants to repay him.”
At someone’s question, she turned around and looked up at the giant tree behind her.
Slowly, the world tree began to shine the pattern engraved on its stem, and it moved its own power.
‘Please reach this heart. May we continue to prosper.’
It was a great advantage to have a trustworthy transcendental being in a difficult and difficult situation. Even more so, if that transcendent being continues to help them.
I couldn’t get rid of that belief that was already firmly rooted deep in my heart.
[Elf’s Prayer – Return]
This prayer was like a courtship. Please do not abandon them.
Something sparkling leaked out from the leaves of the lush World Tree, and then, repeating their aggregation into one, the droplets flew backwards into the air and into the sky.
The glittering powder emitted through the leaves is none other than the sap of the World Tree.
Serenian stared blankly at the brilliant scene that lit up the darkness. This was the utmost sincerity created by the cooperation of the Elf and the World Tree.
