Chapter 70 – Conflict (10)
From my point of view, Serenian’s height is less than 1cm. Really the size of an ant. Even though she was small, she was too small to be of any great help.
To the extent that even when finding the most necessary resources and putting them in, you have to consider all of them.
The world in the pot is definitely a different world, and to what extent other factors except for the size have been calibrated beyond the walls of that other world, those little elves made good use of the large objects I gave them without scaling correction, but nonetheless, there is a limit there was.
In such a yard, it was a great benefit that I could reduce the size of objects in the real world and give them as they are. It was a downside that my bankbook was getting lighter, but there was no place to spend money anyway.
Therefore, there was a limit to the number of times, and I thought I had used the opportunity appropriately.
‘The elves can give me their stuff.’
The inverse magnification that Serenian mentioned is an extension of what I used to reduce things by adjusting the magnification.
As I gave them, this time they can extend things to me.
“Is there something the spirits want from us?”
“Now, please wait a moment. I’ll… Find out soon.”
When Serenian asked what he wanted, I blurted out my words. What immediately came to mind was the sap of the World Tree that had barely filled a bottle the size of a finger.
If I could get it magnified several times, I would be able to cure Seo Eun-young, who hasn’t been fully healed yet.
But thinking about it calmly, I wondered if that would be possible. First of all, the sap of the world tree didn’t have a specific shape, and I didn’t even go through any adjustments to make it rain with a sprayer.
The world tree’s own power emitted from its leaves last time was not significantly diminished. The spouted sap rose to the top of the pot in the form of mist, and I just collected it without taking any special action.
Rather, if it was the power emitted by a 30cm tall bonsai, that was just right. So, it was hard to imagine that Serenian would be able to get more than that even if he applied the inverse multiplier to the miraculous sweet water in his hand.
Getting more sap, as Serenian said at the time, is a problem that will only be resolved when the World Tree grows.
‘Then it’s not urgent.’
Except for the sap of the World Tree, when I thought about it, there seemed to be nothing to receive from the elves.
“We are always ready to respond to the will of Heaven.”
“I know. Let’s give it some time.”
In the end, both Serenian and I put a little bit of time into this. Now, both me and her had more urgent matters than that.
‘Are you preparing something?’
I saw armed elves in my eyes. They are definitely going to fight, but there is no such thing as a dungeon to attack right now.
So now, where they are heading is clear.
“—.”
Dozens of elven warriors, armed with armor and weapons made from dwarf fragments, rode on the fairy ants all at once.
It was also clear that something had happened in the outside world. When dozens of elves recently immigrated, I remember seeing Serenian and others meeting each other with serious faces.
I am finally going to extend the strength I have cultivated here to the outside world.
“—?”
“–.”
Serenian saw them off as they went outside through the rift. Judging by the look on her face, she seemed to want to step out herself, as she currently has the strongest power, but she didn’t want to send the only high elf to a dangerous place, even among the same elves.
Her To be honest, I didn’t want to let her go either. The moment I get out of the pot, I can’t help at all.
‘I have no choice but to do what I have to do.’
I am, after all, a bystander and observer.
No matter how many exchanges I build by twisting my body here and there, in the end there is a fundamental wall between me and them. A wall I can’t even touch.
That’s why their story, which started with Serenian and me, is ultimately decided by their will.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but right now, even if I wanted something more, watching like this was my limit.
“…”
Or do I thoroughly record their stories in my own way, like a contemplative observer? I am steadily collecting memories taken by drones and making videos based on them.
Until now, I had only produced videos in the form of simply explaining the elves in pots, but if they wanted to make progress and make their own history, I could record and publicize it. The story that others would think is just an interesting concept video.

“Have you finished your work? Don’t worry too much. Didn’t we already prove it?”
“…That’s right.”
When he was looking down at the potted plants to soothe his troubled heart.
Serenian also didn’t look so good. It was because he sent out warriors and could not follow them. Unlike this place, where even the blessings of an overwhelming and omnipotent god could be obtained, the outside world was wild itself.

Of course, this dispatch itself was agreed upon by everyone, but unlike the head, the heart was not calm.
“They will definitely come back victorious. To rescue my fellow countrymen from suffering.”
One of the real elders, now that she was starting to age, offered her comforting words.
“I know.”
Serenian couldn’t help but nod his head at those words. The reason they dispatched troops was because they heard the testimony of the villagers Leon had brought.
The chaos of the continent is invading even the Great Forest. It was simply a reminder that traitors are not the only enemies of the Elves.
The elves of Eden, including Serenian, dispatched troops to defend the cause of rebuilding the elven kingdom of the past and protecting the clan from the chaos.
“Tina. It seems appropriate to create a new high elf. We have to prepare for emergencies.”
After her momentary hesitation, Serenian mentioned her high elves to her.
In fact, this time the World Tree has grown one more level, and the World Tree has been able to bear one more fruit that can be used to create High Elves.
It was common for him to have several high elves, as the Great Forest’s World Tree only made more than ten high elves to care for him.
“As for the old me… I don’t think it’s time yet. Wait a little longer.”
But the elder, Tina, was against it. Even Serenian, who was born with some political sense, was slightly taken aback by the answer.
“Why? If something happens to me, it’s over. Even if I’m careful with my actions, I can’t just sit there and do nothing forever.”
“I am not opposed to increasing the number of high elves. It just seems like it needs a little more time. When you, who became a queen, become a real queen. Until that moment, it seems fitting that we continue to hold the overwhelming position of being the only high elf in Eden.”
Tina answered why she thought so. Elves continue to migrate to Eden. In addition, as long as they mobilize proper troops beyond the Special Operations Unit, the number will continue to increase.
Because Tina is an elder, she was more aware of the habits and tendencies of her people. No matter how strict she was with customs and traditions, her logic was that Serenians should have a greater and more natural authority in order to harmonize them more quickly, since elves are not unconditionally obedient.
“Then when should I increase the number of high elves?”
“The moment when you become a queen that everyone knows, not just our queen. This is the moment when we announce to the forces outside that the ancient kingdom of elves has been resurrected, my queen.”
Tina even gave her own answer.
Starting from a dimensional rift that was once nothing but a mere banishment, the moment they became a force recognized by everyone, Serenian would become a true queen and command her clan.
Tina’s logic was that at that time, it wouldn’t matter if the high elves’ authority was shared with those around them. Serenian must have already become an existence that no one can touch.
“You, like your father, have the qualities of a good chieftain. Even the gods who preside over this place are watching you. So be confident.”
Tina took Serenian’s hand. She was already convinced that Serenian was their future.
It won’t take too long. If the soldiers who go outside are active in earnest, their identities will flow to the outside world, and who they are and what they want will also be known. Serenian also intuited that that time was coming soon and shut her mouth.
