Chapter 23 – A New Paradise (3)
Chapter 23 – A New Paradise (3)
“What is this strange bird?”
“That child, like the black bull, is also a divine beast sent by a divine spirit. He is a well-rounded, smart kid.”
Serenian informed Leon, who had just joined, about the world in the pot he would live in the future. As he first felt, everything was mysterious to Leon.
It was the same with the miniature house, and the drone flying around it like this.
“…Ah, hello?”
Hearing the word Shinsoo, he flinched and waved his hand at the drone. The drone, which was watching the scene through the camera, responded by moving up and down as if it understood it. Leon sighed involuntarily and nodded his head. Was
“I have heard of many gods in the mythology and traditions of other races through the few elves who communicate with the outside world, but I have never heard of such a spirit.”
“That is fortunate for us.”
Serenian took him to the wall after introducing him to the inside of the village.
Leon was speechless at the majestic sight. A white barrier stretched from end to end covered in something shiny that reflected light.
“You mean the chief made this only with those children? A stone this hard?”
“Yes. However, it is hardened now, but it is not stone.”
Serenian stroked the barrier and showed the warehouse next to Leon, who admired it. This warehouse was also made by stacking clay, and there was a large amount of hardened clay inside the warehouse covered with a large coated paper.
“This material given by the spirits becomes soft when wet with water, so it is possible to freely change its shape.”
“Ohhh…”
Leon actually sighed as he squatted the water-soaked clay in his hands. He knew that clay was used to make earthenware and bricks, but those weren’t elven cultures.
“But there must be a reason why they put so much effort into making such a magnificent barrier.”
“That’s right. As I said, the trials we have to overcome. A must-have competition to make this place a true paradise.”
Serenian took him over the barrier and pointed to an ant nest in the distance.
The monsters crawling out of there were their enemies and competitors in the food chain that they must overcome in order to survive here.
“…I understand. I will dedicate myself to protecting this land and the world tree.”
“You are not alone.”
As Leon bowed his head to himself, Serenian, who held his shoulder, gave him strength based on his experience of agony and despair.

“So, is the new villager adjusting well?”
“Adaptation is not a problem. He is an experienced, seasoned elf. You will do better than me.”
“I’m glad.”
Suddenly, a story leaked out and a mention of a new resident, Leon, came out, so Serenian nodded his head and showed his trust in him.
“If you need anything, let me know. I will tell the spirit.”
“Right now, it’s about supplementing the existing supplies a little bit.”
“Is that so? Then let’s continue class.”
I smiled and moved my gaze. What we are currently doing is teaching her Korean, which is none other than her.
Of course, it doesn’t tell you properly. So far I can read the things I have written to her and sent to her and interpret her will. It just told me that much.
If you look at it closely, it’s not about learning to write, it’s about memorizing pictures that look like text. Her intelligence is definitely smarter than mine, so it didn’t take long.
It’s direct communication.
If you listen to what you need, what you want more or what you can’t use in advance like this, you can reduce trial and error.
“Then let’s go. Thank you always.”
It wasn’t long with her, but the meeting with her soon ended. When I send it, I send it casually, but when we part, it feels empty somewhere, so I got out of the empty herb pot and returned to the living room.
Then we headed back to the bonsai pot on the veranda. There, besides Serenian who just came out of the rift, other elves were working hard.
“—.”
“–…”
In particular, I could see Ren and Leon making a house using clay next to the tent-type temporary house made of fabric. The size of the miniature house with up to the second floor was sufficient, but he seemed to think that he did not live with Serenian, the chief and high elf.
I thought about getting a new miniature house, but I gave up. If the miniature house became a symbol of the authority of the chief, it would be better not to overdo it.
‘The patriarch’s authority, that seems to be quite important.’
As I watched Leon whimper and split the toothpick wood, I was convinced of my thoughts. There was a hatchet he had been using well until now, but he refused to take it and was chopping wood with a rugged hammer made using a shredded chimney pin.
The items in this world that I adjusted the magnification and put into them all became rare items due to a limit on the number of times. It seems that the elves thought it was some kind of qualification or a god.
Even if I wanted to give more, I couldn’t, and I had no intention of harming their customs. However, it is true that it is unfortunate that he is struggling to use the dragon, so I sent him some new items I bought at the general store.
“— —.”
“–?”
The elves who ran in gasping huddled together in front of the things I gave them and made a noise. The scene being filmed with a drone was of elves standing in front of cutter blades larger than their bodies and talking with serious faces.
In the midst of all that, Serenian was the first to notice my intentions. She focused on the sharp blade and began to slash the side of her hatchet as she drew out her hatchet and ignited blue mana.
Then, a blade large enough for them to use was completed. She gave it to Leon. Receiving it with her bewildered eyes, Leon made a great sword that could also be used as an axe by combining the wood and the metal.
‘Is there anything else I need?’
As I watched that, I kept thinking. I wanted to help more because I knew what situation they were in.
[The ant nest vibrates]
In the meantime, the beasts of the underworld also attacked steadily, targeting the elves.
“About twenty.”
After counting the number of ants, I fiddled with the controller of the Battlebot. It’s possible to move and crush the Battlebot, which is still out of battery, but I backed off for a while this time too.
Serenian always considered it important to overcome and grow directly. She immediately decided to watch the fight as she believed in them as Leon also joined in she could be the power.
[The condensing sap of the World Tree stimulates demon beasts]
[Beast Mosquito]
“Huh?”
But at that moment. Something I didn’t expect happened.
Another monster appears aiming for the world tree. A tiny mosquito emerged from a crack in the air. However, in the world of potted plants, the mosquito became a monster covered in thorns and armor and rushed at the elves.
I didn’t expect it at all, and the same goes for the elves. Seeing the elves flustered by the appearance of a new enemy that appeared in line with the growth of the world tree, I hurriedly dispatched the Battlebots to stop at least the ants.
‘Can you stop it?’
Serenian, who saw the Battlebot moving, shouted something to Leon and then lured the monster mosquito to himself while running on the ground.
As the mosquito’s stinger, which is like a huge spear to her, kicked off the ground and brushed her body as she tumbled, I flinched at the moment. I held my breath as I watched him climb up.

Her mosquitoes whipped her feet and beat her wildly, swinging her remaining feet to knock her off. However, bursting with blue power from her whole body, she withstood that one-sided beating until the gritting, staggering mosquito reached the top of the world water.
‘Okay, got it.’
And the moment he saw the leaves and branches of the World Tree beneath him. Serenian stabbed the pin in her hand into her lower breast, the weak point of her mosquito. Afterwards, she bent over and kicked the half-stitched pin with her foot and fell under her, crashing into the leaves and branches of the World Tree and clinging to it.
The mosquito, which penetrated her chest, fell to the ground without being able to fly for long. The field in front of the barrier, where the battlebots run wild, was also shaken off the ants with the combined efforts of Leon and Ren.
“Trials are natural. When our race first appeared. Back then, too, there were countless villains aiming for the World Tree, which symbolizes life and greenness. We are prospering because our ancestors succeeded in winning the war against them and protecting the World Tree. That is our duty and our mission.”
Suddenly, I remembered the story Serenian had told me about the World Tree.
It is natural for the World Tree to be targeted by numerous enemies due to its nature. The elves were convinced that the World Tree gave birth to 12 fairies and created the species of elves to protect themselves from such threats.
According to what he said, it is only natural that the raids targeting the bonsai in the pot will continue to grow stronger and stronger. In order for the world in that pot to become a true paradise, Serenian and other elves of the present age must overcome the threat like their ancestors in the past.
‘I need to improve further.’
To do that, they had to develop further. The population had to increase, and more supplies were needed.
