333 – We’re on a trip – 1
When I entered the elven residential district, I was greeted with a suspicious and slightly wary look, but when I left, I was warmly welcomed.
“If you remember, come again! Benefactors are always welcome!”
“If you are tired of living in a human society, be sure to come! Living in nature is fun!”
The world tree was the symbol of the elves and was like life. Although the young elves’ feelings towards the World Tree seem relatively faint, the elf’s instincts do not disappear. That’s why we can rejoice and laugh together at the news of the resurrection of the World Tree.
“Benefactor, benefactor! See you again, see you again!”
“I’ll definitely tell you about my benefactor! I’ll tell my mother!”
“To Mr. And Mrs. Spirit too!”
“Oh, thank you.”
Even young elves with little attachment to the World Tree are like that, not to mention fairies. Now that the revival of the World Tree, which is their home and can communicate with their mother, was imminent, the fairies did not think of leaving my body.
I’m glad that he doesn’t intend to follow me outside the sanctuary.
“I’d like to ask them to live here, but in human society it’s a duke, so I can’t.”
“We will contact you often.”
“Yes, that’s enough.”
As I slightly turned my gaze, I saw Jong-gong Ma saying goodbye to the elder. It seems harsh to break up with my grandmother, whom I met after 121 years, in a few hours, but it’s okay because there is a communication tool in this world.
Majonggong, who made an impromptu communication device for his grandmother while sitting down, gave it as a gift. Even Ma Jong-gong can teleport, so if you want to see information, you can come and go right away.
“Please take good care of Trixie. I believe that she will do well even if she doesn’t ask, but when she gets old, she only gets useless worries.”
The elder who hugged Majonggong spoke to me gently.
“I won’t worry about anything.”
At that, the elder smiled even more deeply.
I made a promise. If you marry Prince Mahjong, you will invite the elders and other elves. If you are reluctant to appear in human society, let’s have a wedding in a reservation. Since it’s a wedding between a human and an elf, there’s a reason to do it once in human society and once in elven society, so it’s perfect.
“Little human, little human, see you next time.”
“Yeah, little man. It was fun.”
“Me, I’m not small!”
“Lies, lies.”
“Lies, that’s bad, get scolded.”
“Lee Ii Ik…!”
In the meantime, the little duke, who was having fun with the fairies, was seen saying goodbye in tears in various ways.
From noble mtl dot com
I’m glad we became close friends. It would be good if the little duke who would manage the heterogeneous sanctuary in the future was friendly with the fairies.
When we arrived at the commercial district where tourists gathered again, Tanian opened his mouth slightly.
“It’s going to be a commotion in the parish for a while.”
‘Ah.’
Tanian said with a light smile as if he was regretful, but he is actually not light enough to say it with a smile. It is a situation where the diocese itself may have to withdraw.
Apart from the fact that the continent’s mainstream religion is the Dawn Church, each of the different races believed in their own gods and maintained their traditions. Of course, Apels’ splendid depravity would have destroyed the tradition and cut off communication with the gods, but now the elves can communicate with the old gods within 10 years.
Tanian is not so ignorant that he exudes a serious atmosphere while being happy with others, and the World Tree itself is an important tree in the Church of Dawn. It’s going to be a fatal day.
“hahahaha, I’ll have to tell the parishioner to prepare my heart.”
Seeing Tanian burst into laughter, I felt a little embarrassed. It’s not that I regret reviving the World Tree. Even if I went back to the past, I would have resurrected him.
But in a way, isn’t it like showing off the revival of paganism in front of the Saint of the Church of Dawn? At least he had to show some degree of caution when the other party wasn’t around.
“Looks like I showed you something useless. I’m sorry.”
Tanian was taken aback by the direct apology, then smiled again and shook his head.
“It’s embarrassing that I noticed this brother. It’s okay. In fact, the church is also there to give comfort to dissimilar tribes who have lost God, not truly setting up a parish for missionary work.”
“Comfort?”
“Yes. Doesn’t the god give peace of mind to the followers? Although Enen is not the god of the different races… Still, only the god can solve the vacuum in the god.”
It’s unexpected. I thought it was set up to catch and eat the different races who had lost God, of course.
“The first thing the first parish head of the heterogeneous parish built was not a church, but a cafeteria and clinic. They say they still use the clinic as a substitute for a church.”
As soon as I heard that, I could understand it.
It’s a parish, but it’s just a volunteer group. At that level, the priests would not withdraw from the parish, but would stop volunteering.
“And this is a secret, but those who are in the parish of the different races are those who have no desire to be promoted.”
He smiled at Tanian, who whispered playfully as if it would cause trouble if someone heard it. I didn’t want to know that.
“Enough of the complicated stuff, let’s play for now. We’ve seen a lot of elves, so now we have to look at other races!”
Just when it seemed that the conversation was over, Lutis patted Tanian on the shoulder and changed the subject.
Yes, that is correct. Since I came to see many different races, it is also important to keep my eyes on other races. Somehow, I only spent time with the elves, but I had to spend the remaining time frugally.
“Because the Little Duke wants to play more.”
As the eyes of the party focused on the little duke at the words of Ryutis, they saw the little duke looking at the huge dog walking on two legs with sparkling eyes.
‘A dog?’
I was confused for a moment, but I was able to come to my senses quickly. That too is a handicraft. There were not only humanoids, but also beasts that looked like animals.
Anyway, when all eyes were on him, the small duke trembled and made an effort to protest with a dignified expression.
“Well, I’m Duke Cennes, who will manage this place from now on. I need to know what kind of people live there!”
“You have a great mindset. You can make a good duke?”
Marghetta applauded and praised the proud declaration. Of course, Marghetta knows that it was a hasty excuse, and everyone in this room knows.
Still, it’s commendable. I’m still young and I make plausible excuses. The important thing in the social world is speech and quickness.
‘Please grow up that way.’
Then you will truly become a duke loved by nobles. Without having to go far, the vassals of the Duke of Salon will risk their lives to assist you.
“They say there’s a mermaid over there. They seem to be fishing with them.”
Later, who smiled faintly at the little duke, pointed towards the lake and said.
By the way, what is joint fishing with mermaids? Are the mermaids driving the fish under the lake? If that’s the case, I’d like to see it too.
***
After my father decided to abdicate, real power began to pass to me one by one. Thanks to that, I now handle everything except for the minimal tasks that only the emperor can decide.
Therefore, Kfellofen’s proverb symbolizing the lofty imperial authority, such as ‘The Emperor takes care of all the affairs of the Empire.’ The same words make you wonder if it’s right to call him the crown prince rather than the emperor.
Of course, handling everything is a figurative meaning. It is physically impossible for individuals to have their hands on everything, and isn’t bureaucracy preventing that from happening in the first place? Loyal and competent bureaucrats encounter the case first, and a small number of matters that even bureaucrats cannot handle are brought up to the emperor or crown prince.
It’s a pity to boast about a considerable amount, but it’s something to be proud of, since the empire is that vast.
‘What is this?’
Still, this doesn’t seem like much.
While I was dealing with the rest of my business after having dinner with rain, I received a direct call in the name of an urgent report. At the same time in two unrelated places.
[Confirmation of the gathering of elves in the elven residential district belonging to the heterogeneous sanctuary, securing testimony that the revival of the world tree is imminent. ]
[ Detected enormous divine energy within the diocese of different races. The priests at the scene judged it to be the energy of a god other than Enen. ]
Reports from the Duchy of Chenes and the Archdiocese of Ausen. My head throbbed spontaneously at the reports from both secular and religious worlds.
‘World Tree?’
Even the contents of the report included words that caused more headaches.
I know what the world tree is. It didn’t exist in the age of mythology, but a legacy of a god that existed on the continent until the time of Apels. Even though it is a legacy of other gods other than Enen, it is a tree that is also highly valued by the Church of Dawn.
Unfortunately, it was burned during the reign of the three tyrants of Apels, but the incident enraged the other races, including the elves, the Church of Dawn became the flagship, and the nations of the continent shook their heads. As much as that, the world tree was a symbolic existence throughout the continent.
‘It was resurrected?’
It’s amazing. The world tree, which is considered one of the causes of Apels’ loss of life, was resurrected during the time of Kfellofen. This is only to say that a thousand people are smiling at Kfelofen.
In addition, the successive emperors of Kpelofen claim to be allies of different tribes. A beautiful empire where all races coexist. It is an event that can further strengthen the justification.
Just-
[Confirmed that the Inspector General was involved in the resurrection of the World Tree. ]
A crest commonly included in the reports of the Duchy of Chenes and the Archdiocese of Ausen. This sentence gave off a tremendous presence.
‘What the hell are you doing?’
I laughed out loud. I know that the academy went on a school trip to the Duchy of Chenes. It was the emperor’s will to go to Chenes, not to the boyars like last year, so there’s no way he wouldn’t know.
But if I went, I would just quietly enjoy the trip, but from the first day of the schedule, a large-scale event was presented.
‘I wish I could at least say something…’
I even thought of that for a moment, but I immediately shook my head. The inspector general is not the type to do this arbitrarily. Rather, I would have posted the report right away because I didn’t want to take responsibility, so it would be right to see this as an accident.
Okay, let’s think positively. The resurrection of the world tree is beneficial to the imperial family and empire. The Church of Dawn also knew that imperial officials were involved in the resurrection of the World Tree, so they would express their gratitude to the empire.
In addition, the time of the World Tree’s resurrection is within about 10 years. Even if I set 10 years as the maximum, the probability of reviving within 1 year is low, so the world tree will be resurrected in my reign. Any way you think about it, positive
…
I grabbed the communication tool placed on the desk.
You cannot ignore the process just because the result is good.
***
After playing happily in the heterogeneous reserve and sending the Duke back to the Duke Castle, the communication port vibrated while resting in a lodging that seemed like he hadn’t come in a long time.
[ Submit a report on the revival of the World Tree in the Heterogeneous Reserve. ]
Ah.
‘Has the report already gone up?’
It’s faster than you think. Had the little duke, who had a strange experience, already boasted to the wise man? Or were you observing the reserve in real time in the Duchy of Chenes?
Actually, it doesn’t matter either way. How you found out doesn’t matter in this situation.
‘What do you write?’
What the hell am I supposed to write a report for? ‘There was a god in my body, and that god attached himself to the tree and made it into a world tree.’ Should I say But then I think I’ll be summoned instead of ending with a report.
‘…It will work somehow.’
The worry was short-lived. However, you can’t write false facts in the report, so let’s write the truth. If the crown prince sees that and summons him, then he can go and tell the truth saying that he is unfair.
– Knock Knock
“Brother, may I come in?”
“Oh, yes. Yes.”
Besides, more important things than the report await now.
‘You have to speak properly.’
The scar of being forced to come out because of the fairies. It’s time to make excuses for him.
The tension made me break out in a cold sweat. If the report is used strangely, it can be recovered when summoned.
But if I can’t convince Louise and Irina now, there’s no next time…!
