Chapter 109 – Pioneering (9)
‘That’s right. Come to think of it.’
Serenian remembered what he heard from Pia a few days ago. He said that he would teach him the elven magic in return for asking him some questions and hearing the answers.
He said that since he had talent, he would give it a try.
“Really?”
“Yes, yes. But why ask again? High elves have the power to see through lies.”
As Serenian frowned, Pia nodded. In doing so, he mentioned one of the powers of the high elves.
The power to see if the other person is lying. It was a special power given to high elves who communicated directly with the world tree belonging to the divine.
Since the past, high elves have used this power to mediate conflicts and lead their people.
“It is not absolute.”
“Why? Perhaps the World Tree is still young?”
“…That is true too.”
Serenian, his eyes slightly shaken, turned around with a small sigh. Pia’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What is it? Where? Wasn’t there something to see here?”
“Because I have a lot of time. Let’s see what to do first today.”
Pia hesitated when she saw Serenian’s back moving away, but she left, saying that she would come later, so take care of her business today.
“You came alone?”
Eventually, Pia entered her herb pot by herself.
After confirming that the two were coming here at the same time, Seunghyeon was slightly taken aback as Pia was alone.
“I don’t know. He said he would come later because he has plenty of time.”
“Hmm, that’s not wrong. It must be tiring.”
Pia told him exactly what she had heard. It is true that I had time to spare because I actually turned off one urgent fire.
He judged that it was because Serenian was tired. The war I watched today was so big and fierce.
“Aren’t you tired?”
“It used to be harder than this. There were times when we marched through the night. It’s about what happened today.”
At his words, Pia shouted that it was nothing, as if she was bragging about herself. Of course, she didn’t say that she actually slept on Hans’ back most of the time.
“It is true that I am sleepy, though. It doesn’t make sense to learn in one day anyway, so let’s finish today quickly.”
“Good. Let’s learn it.”
The two moved to the campfire that had been lit and started working in earnest.

Pia tried to convey the things she had learned from her past teachers, mixing her gestures with her feet. After all, witchcraft, like magic, is used by converting the form of mana.
“It must be difficult for you to hear the story of the earth and the trees and not the elves. But can we use orthopedics instead of sympathy?”
Pia used that to pass on some of her knowledge to him. If even a human being had the talent, he could learn such magic.
‘It’s amazing.’
He took it like a sponge. The power he used so far was just like moving his limbs, moving naturally according to his will. It’s like speaking your mother tongue.
However, the power of a shaman, not the ability of an Awakener, had to use its own brain as if it were learning a new language.
“Is this for real?!”
But it was true that he had talent. Pia herself, who taught me, was also surprised and her eyes widened when she saw the blue flames rising from all over her body.
‘The attribute has changed.’
At the same time, he, too, wriggled his eyes. As he applied magic to his body, he realized that the power he was dealing with had grown a notch.

“Are the traits changing? If that happened, it would be on the news. No, you’re not going to come out because it’s confidential? I’ve never heard of it anyway.”
“It’s good to know. I’ve been looking for it, but it didn’t come out, so I just asked just in case.”
“Why. What could be the problem?”
“No. Nothing. I’ll call you later, it’s late.”
I hurriedly hung up the phone call to Dongchun Kim. A dark living room with the lights off. In the herb pots under the snow, only the embers of the string campfire since Pia left were glowing like dust.
‘Isn’t that really important?’
I learned a little about the magic of the elves from Pia the other day. It is to use the power held inside to release it with a form-specific technique.
Perhaps it was because of that, my strength changed a bit. Telekinesis, an invisible force, at some point turned into a blue flame that moved according to my will.
Pure mana. Pia called it that. He said it wouldn’t make sense to move it freely.
It didn’t make sense to me that the Awakener’s power would change like this, but I thought it was no big deal. After all, I was no longer a Hunter, and I had no intention of exposing this power in all directions.
‘Suhojin.’
I went to the veranda and sat down in my usual place looking at the flower pots and tried to move this power. It is a spell learned from Pia.
A type of barrier technique she used to keep her place in her dungeon.
I applied it to this veranda. Even if it was impossible for me to touch it, it was a place where there were flower pots that could interact with external objects, so it was to prepare for the unexpected.
“Useful.”
The moment I did
, I laughed when I saw the lights shining brightly and filling all sides. The light soon went out and returned to a seemingly empty state, but I already knew that the defenses would activate in case of emergency.
‘I’m going to set up a meeting.’
The time is slowly approaching midnight. I lay down but did not fall asleep right away.
Instead, I went into an internet shopping mall with my cell phone as I was accustomed to.
It was because of a story I heard from Serenian, who was looking for me right before the battle with the monster earthworm. About the system of the world in the pot that will be properly organized after the dwarves are fully settled.
She had no intention of ruling the dwarves. Instead, they also wanted to become one as members of a community.
What I conceived for that was to create one big conference. It is a general meeting or council in which all those who are together in Eden participate.
It meant the first moment when Eden became a union made up of various people, unlike the previous one in Great Forest ver.2, Which consisted of simply elves who had migrated.
It’s a historical moment, so I wanted to give something. Just as Serenian celebrated becoming the queen of the elves by giving her a tiara last time.
Even I, who is not the party involved, can know. There will obviously be a lot of trial and error in many ways. But if I, what they believe to be heaven, acknowledges and congratulates the meeting, they will endeavor to maintain it.
You can prevent problems from occurring naturally or induce them to solve them well.
Wouldn’t it be okay to use one or two of the four remaining chances?
‘But what should I give you?’
But when I opened the site, my fingers stopped moving.
I was worried about what to give. Should I give you a large building made entirely of miniatures? However, it didn’t seem like there was really enough space to give buildings, unless it was to get rid of farmland.
“Huh?”
After falling asleep without making a decision in the end, when I woke up early in the morning to get ready and went to the veranda.
I found dwarves moving around in flower pots in mountainous terrain. It seemed that there was still time to spare. Because they still haven’t finished the probation.
“—.”
They were again armed and determined, carrying their burdens and heading somewhere.
‘Yes. I haven’t even gotten the loot yet.’
The place they were heading to was the place where the beast earthworm had crawled out. Now that the water is gone, it was his will to go down there and attack the empty dungeon.
In the end, it only ends when you get the dungeon core.
“It will be fine.”
I tried to get rid of my anxiety and got up. I wanted to watch the moment of important work, but I couldn’t stop going to work.
I couldn’t see inside the dungeon anyway, but the camera was only installed in the bonsai pot, so it was impossible to check other places.
“Seunghyun, what’s wrong? Is your face hardened?”
The problem is that the team leader saw me and opened his mouth while I was working at my seat, as if I hadn’t been able to shake off that worry unconsciously.
“Ah, no. Nothing.”
Of course I took it off. I had nothing to say. Fortunately or unfortunately, the team leader’s interest was only there.
“By the way, is there anyone in our team who has done design work?”
“Suddenly?”
“It’s spreading like a trend, so there’s even a contest openly. Each team making their own sentences. I’m an ordinary person, so I don’t understand it well, but the sentences in the military units are all different, so it’s probably for a similar reason, right?”
Instead, the team leader started a different story. Recently, hunter companies or teams have created their own sentences or symbols, giving them symbols and strengthening their sense of belonging.
I also remembered looking at the Internet more vaguely.
‘It’s a sentence. Enter the flag or something?’
I focused on the words that I would normally have heard with one ear and let it go, in the hope that it might be an answer to me wondering what to give to the people in the pot.
