84 – 84 – So that he doesn’t get hurt anymore.
‘ No, really, why are they doing this!? ‘
Flora could not help but scream inwardly.
Is she being punished for getting on their nerves?
The atmosphere became very gloomy as people fought among themselves and became awkward.
That’s why Flora doesn’t want to be among them. She
She only told me the way to the World Tree and she tried not to go out of the house.
” We must all work together. “
” Yes, that’s right. If we are all together. “
” I think we should include Flora. “
Apparently after Emma had said all she had to say and shut her mouth.
Why are they all telling each other to go together when they are silent to each other?
It’s clear that they didn’t get along so they fought often!
‘Why me!? ‘
Flora wanted to argue, but couldn’t help but wonder whether it would be okay to guide them to the World Tree.
Because she only had one life, Flora had no choice but to hold back the urge to cry.
I am guiding them, praying in my heart that they will not do anything foolish to the World Tree.
Because we didn’t sprint like we did the day the fire broke out, the distance from the hut to the World Tree took some walking.
On the way, Reese and his companions were able to take a look at the state of the elf forest to some extent.
The cabin where Flora stays from the first entrance to the forest.
And to the road leading to where the World Tree is now.
Of all the plants you see, including trees.
It was difficult to find something without burn marks.
” It really seems like there is no place in the forest that hasn’t caught fire. “
Lilith said with sadness as she looked at the traces of the damaged forest.
” This is really not normal. I think I can believe it if our ancestors breathed it out. “
Although it is not big enough to be called a great forest, there was no place in the elven forest that was not on fire, which was quite large, so Grace also expressed her feelings about the forest’s ruined state, comparing it to a dragon’s breath.
Because there were so many remnants of the fire that they were compared to the extinct dragons, Emma asked Flora, who was leading the way.
” Are you saying that the stranger who appeared in the forest really burned down this large forest all by himself? “
I had already heard about the circumstances of the incident inside the cabin, but I had doubts as to whether it was really the work of just one person.
It was easy to believe that national-sized invaders set fire to the forest to attack the elves.
But Flora’s answer did not change.
” Yes. As I said before, less than 5 minutes after the earthquake stopped that day, the entire forest was on fire. But thanks to World Tree, the situation has improved a lot. “
Thanks to the protection of the World Tree, this is the extent of my recovery.
This means that the stranger summoned here was not of an average level.
The day when the gate that allowed strangers from other worlds to come across Isania was summoned.
Except for strangers who come out of the gate and are summoned to remote villages or sparsely populated places.
Most of them were able to be defeated through the power of those protecting the area.
However, there were places where exceptionally strong people crossed through the gate, so much so that even the troops guarding the capital of any country could not stop them.
Perhaps the stranger who came through the gate summoned to this forest appears to be of a similar level to them.
That stranger that most people cannot easily do anything about.
“ And it wouldn’t have been possible if Edward hadn’t quickly defeated the stranger! ”
According to what Flora said, it means that the revived Edward easily defeated him.
” You said you killed it with fire magic, right? “
” Yes, I felt like he just pulled out a black flame from his hand rather than using magic. “
” Black flame… It’s so far from the magic our family uses. “
As the only Northern Grand Duchy in the Empire, Frigid was lacking in magic to the point where he had a family vision, so they would go so far as to say that he couldn’t use fire magic.
From Noble mtl dot com
The magic mainly used by the Frigid family in the cold northern region was the freezing type.
However, on the contrary, the magic he used was fire-type, and even that was not ordinary.
That too.
Black flame.
It is a color that suits the devil very well.
And.
” Hasn’t Young master become stronger than us? “
” … “
Lilith could not easily answer Grace’s question.
The stranger he killed.
Even if it’s not Dang Mi-ryeong or Lee Hye-young.
Looking at the traces left in the forest, I couldn’t be confident that I could win alone.
Grace probably thought the same thing, which is why she spoke out.
It seemed like the only way to defeat it was if the three of them joined forces.
But even so.
” … Still, we have to protect Ed. “
So that my beloved doesn’t get hurt anymore.
Not only the body, but also the mind.
Protecting, at least that one thing.
Because it hasn’t changed at all.
Grace and Emma didn’t bother to answer.
I quietly followed Flora’s guidance and headed towards the World Tree.
After some time had passed.
” Come on! You guys have finally arrived! “
They are huge trees in the center of the elf forest.
Arrived in front of the World Tree.
.
.
.
Because the elves of Isania were friendly to other races.
The forest was opened to anyone and anyone could come to see the world tree.
This was not because they were defenseless, but because they believed in the World Tree.
The day the stranger burned the entire forest.
Because even the World Tree was badly injured, it could not help stop the intruder who appeared in the elf village.
Normally, thanks to the protection of the World Tree, the elves were strong enough to rival any other race.
When they were not enough, the World Tree moved the forest or summoned a separate guardian to help them.
But the elven forest was always open.
The entire forest was burned down, and the world was becoming chaotic and closed due to strangers.
After that day.
No one could enter the elf forest, and no one came to visit.
In the meantime.
Lilith and her companions came to the World Tree.
Because it was quite a unique case.
Flora was very worried.
The reason I came to this distant elf forest.
I didn’t come to find Edward’s whereabouts.
The true purpose is to see the World Tree.
If you look closely, it seems to be related to Edward.
To the World Tree who was unable to stop him until the end and sent him away.
Won’t I just vent my anger and cause a scene?
Except for himself and his older sister, who is a forest keeper.
Because there were no people who could hear the voice of the World Tree and communicate directly with it.
You might say it’s a needless worry.
If you look at Edward who had a conversation with the World Tree not long ago.
I couldn’t help but think that among the women who came to the World Tree in person, there would be someone I could talk to.
That’s why.
As a result of talking with them and observing their actions.
Because they were people with enough personality that it wasn’t strange no matter what they did.
I couldn’t help but wonder if it would be okay to take him to the World Tree.
But I already brought him in, even if I tried to stop him.
Because I had to fight for my life.
‘I’m sorry World Tree! ‘
Flora internally apologized to the World Tree and gave up thinking any more.
Have you read Flora’s thoughts?
Flora… I understand because you don’t have a sister, but… It seems like you’re just passing it on to me…
The world tree’s sad voice was heard.
” Sorry! “
” Flora? Why are you suddenly apologizing? “
” Ah! Not to you, but to the World Tree.. Can’t you hear? “
” Can you hear it? “What are you saying?”
Looking at the expressions of Lilith and the rest of the people as they asked Flora.
Contrary to expectations, it seemed as if the World Tree’s voice could not be heard.
Flora, first of all, ask the blue-haired boy over there to place his hand on my body.
As Flora was wondering what to say, the voice of the World Tree reached her ears.
So she walked up to Emma and said as the World Tree said.
” Emma, would you please come closer to the World Tree and touch it? “
” Yes, Flora. “
Following Flora’s instructions, Emma approached the World Tree and placed one hand on it.
That moment.
Whaaaaa!!
A blue light surrounded her body.
After a while, the light disappeared.
After that.
” Ah!.. “
Emma let out a short moan and staggered.
” Emma! “
As she was about to fall, Grace stood by her side and supported her.
” Ugh!!! “
Emma clutched her own head in pain.
“What happened to this, Flora? “
” Well, I don’t know either! “
Liris, who saw this, was embarrassed and asked Flora, but she was equally embarrassed because she only did as the World Tree told her.
That moment.
Saaaaa..
With white energy rising over Emma’s body.
Her calm voice was heard.
[ Calm down. Everyone.. ]
” Young!? “
There has been no case of a spirit possessing Emma’s body since the day she left the Grand Duke’s residence.
Seeing the energy rising from her body and Emma’s appearance inside the station, Lilith and Grace were able to immediately realize that she was in a state of possession.
She is Emma, the owner of the body, and she said that if she were possessed, she would not be possessed because it would be a great burden..
Because the spirit suddenly appeared, Lilith and Grace had no choice but to ask in anxious voices.
” Young! Is Emma okay? “
” Did something happen to Emma’s body? “
[ Don’t worry. ]
Young calmly responded to those who were worried about her Emma and then spoke.
[ I suddenly lost consciousness for a moment due to a flood of memories, so I just borrowed your body for a while. There is no problem, so don’t worry. ]
“You mean you got all her memories back? “
Lilith asked Young.
The purpose of visiting the World Tree in this distant place.
It was to restore Young’s complete memory.
That way, in this world where even the goddess wants to eliminate him.
I can find a way to help somehow.
In response to Lilith’s question, Young nodded her head and said.
[ Yes, thanks to World Tree, I remembered everything. ]
She said she regained all her memories of her past life.
