217 – The Identity of Eden (7)
Chapter 217 – The Identity of Eden (7)
“I-I can’t believe it. This is nonsense. This!”
“What makes no sense? God really bless us here.”
Right after Nofen was brought to Eden. He was shocked to see something different than the giant figures falling from the sky.
Because Aaron showed him a huge pile of aluminum ingots. Even tableware and bowls made using it are commonly used. There was no way they wouldn’t know how precious it was, but the Dwarves of Eden didn’t pay much attention to it.
“Why, even at this point, do you still want these things?”
Aron laughed at the sight and waved an aluminum ingot in front of him. Then his eyes followed and oscillated involuntarily.
“What the hell does a king really want? Why is it that, after winning a great war at best, they brutally exploit the people who have gathered as one, and continue to cause trouble? Dwarf kingdom’s rich and strong army? Is that really all?”
“Ha, you look at that very lightly. The king made that choice for the future of the dwarves.”
“You are the corrupt official duck that harms the country’s wealth and power.”
“…!”
Nofen raised his voice, but Aaron was consistent with a snort. Even if the Dwarf King’s beliefs were correct, there was no need to force them to follow them anymore.
Aaron, who showed such composure, found out the information he wanted from Nofen without difficulty. Contrary to his brazen appearance, it was possible because Nofen, who was terrified on the inside, didn’t even try to hide it.
“Thank you for answering honestly, but we will not punish you.”
“What, what do you mean by that?”
“God will do it. After all, you are a traitor who betrayed your own people.”
Aaron smiled and looked up at the sky. Even at that moment, he had no idea what Aaron was talking about.
“This is nonsense. These traitors! Soon the army of the kingdom will come and trample on vagrants like you!!”
No, to be honest, it was close to denying it. As the probability of being killed in fact increased, Nofen was tied up and half-conscious, going mad and cursing and swearing.
“You’re stupid.”
“You will understand when you see it yourself. I was wondering if I could truly repent.”
The residents of Eden just clicked their tongues and sighed when they saw him like that. No matter how much he cursed and insulted him, in the eyes of those in the know, he could only be seen as a frightened small animal in front of a strong force that could not be denied.
“Bring out the sinner!”
Shortly, the order came to Nofen to take him to the place where the heavens would judge him.
In the process, Nofen was surprised to see more Eden’s inhabitants than he thought, including the dwarves, and his eyes widened.
‘How could this happen?’
When I went to the potted plant in the river area and saw the city of elves, my surprise grew.
I came to see for myself that the power of Eden, which I had only known at a glance through rumors that had been altered and omitted, was not a power created by a few vagrants.
“It can’t be, it’s impossible. How on earth can the elves who fought against the human kingdom in the middle of the continent be here?”
“We can stretch our feet…Anywhere.”
Aron averted his eyes as Nofen muttered in a trembling voice. Eden, to be precise, several passages that lead from dungeons that open in Eden.
The passage can lead to various places. I don’t know the principles or rules.
“Do you really think this is wise! Elves, some escaped dwarves are gathering! Soon the armies of the proud kingdom will come to find out about this place. You think it’s a lie!”
He struggled in fright as his body was tied to the pole.

All preparations have been completed. The firewood piled up was like burning fire, but no one actually tried to light it.
‘What the hell is going on?’
Se-Rin, a half-breed beastman who came to see it with her colleagues at the word that Heaven would punish it, also looked at it with a nervous face.
I heard that even at this moment, the sunlight warmly enveloping the body burns and kills sinners in anger, but it is because I did not easily imagine it.
“The sins of sinners are obvious. He is a traitor who, through his own greed, harmed our comrades and betrayed his own people. Heaven knows that obvious sin.”
At the point when many gathered people were at a loss for words, Serenian stepped forward and opened his mouth.
“The elf with the long blonde hair…! Queen of the Great Forest!”
“A dwarf in the North Continent, far from the Great Forest, knows me.”
Nofen recognized Serenian and was shocked. The Elves of the Great Forest recently won the war and the repercussions were spreading all over the surrounding area, but the aftermath was as small as an incident up to the northern part of the continent where the Dwarf Kingdom was still located.
“I am an official of the Great Mountain Range, appointed by the king. If you do something like this, the king will definitely protest!”
“How can you protest? They don’t even know where this place is.”
“That, that!”
He sold the kingdom of the Dwarves as a last resort, but Serenian didn’t go over. Nofen was also blindfolded during the process of being dragged, so he was in the Great Mountains and couldn’t explain how he got here.
Now, all the tools that I can really take out are gone. His body began to tremble, and Nofen looked around with fearful eyes.
Many people just watch themselves. Some faces were as pale and stark as his own.
‘Why do you keep quiet?’
However, even after Serenian’s declaration that Heaven would judge was over, no one stepped forward. He is simply tied to a pole and left unattended.
‘It’s hot.’
But at that moment. He was horrified to feel that his own body, standing in the sun, became extremely hot. He finally realized what the punishment he was receiving was.
“Ah, ah!”
At the same time, a hot fire burned in his body. The sunlight that was beating down on everyone equally, the point where he was tied up was shining brightly and emitting tremendous energy.

“I think it was an appropriate event. Isn’t there such a thing as stick and carrot.”
“It would be enough if we could periodically realize that what we are given is not just a blessing.”
Serenian, who ordered the bodies of the burned Dwarves to be removed, radioed to me as the gathered people scattered and the place was settled.
She’s always been like that, but she doesn’t seem to be at ease. It’s not a pleasant sight to see someone burn alive right in front of her eyes.
So I cheered her on, saying it was an effective event.
“Aaron gave me some information I found out about him. Tensions continue to intensify not only in the central region where the Great Forest is located, but also in the North Continent, and the issue of vagrants and large and small quarrels are frequent.”
“I’m thinking of accepting them.”
“Isn’t that our foundation? A place where those who have no place to go can recover again. If such people unite and become stronger, it can become a new order in which we, who were expelled one day, will not be ignored.”
Serenian did not change his thoughts on expanding his power.
The fact that she accepts more people and expands her power means that Eden, the world inside this pot, will grow that much. Hearing that, I turned my head and inadvertently calculated the remaining space on the veranda, and I smiled. The veranda, which had been cleaned leaving only the essentials, was soon filled with various flower pots. However, there is still room for several more flower pots.
As long as the faith point shop is open, you can freely add flower pots, so there is nothing you can’t do if you really want to.
“It should be possible. Do what you can.”
I, who once wandered mentally, also found stability and watching them became the joy and reason of life for a long time. I decided to help as much as I could.
“At this point, please give Aaron and Kara a tip. Soon the presents will go to them one by one. Figyu… The statue is a simple gift, but if they consider the large statue as an acknowledgment towards them, Heaven will surely answer.”
“It has become a tradition. Is it really a token that Heaven gives to those who have received His approval?”
Right before her breakup, she was impressed when she talked about the figure. It wasn’t like that at first, but somehow the meaning became grandiose. According to Serenian’s plan, it will continue to increase in the future, but then should we present figures to the leaders of each faction one by one?
Of course, I didn’t think it would be that expensive if they could give their hearts to the world in the pot by presenting just a figure.
