Chapter 237
Before the nerve war between the two began in earnest, Arwen brought up what had happened.
Most of them say it’s hard because of the tight schedule, that they don’t give them a break, that it’s hard to clean up the shit that the senate has put up, etc.
Above all, I heard that there is a shortage of talented people. If possible, I wanted to hire people who worked in the Senate, but I was reluctant because most of them were old-generation elves.
Anyway, if a second senate appears, there is nothing as troublesome as that, so now I am doing everything by myself.
Fortunately, thanks to Xenon’s biography, there is no sign that a second senate will be born, and Alvenheim’s operation is proceeding smoothly.
One of the reasons was that support for Arwen increased significantly after the public address, but above all, it was the connection with me.
After the contamination of the root of the World Tree, there was a craze in the Xenon biography among the elves. Is their queen connected to Xenon? It is a structure that has no choice but to increase support.
In addition to this, neighboring countries also started to try to communicate with Albenheim somehow. From great powers including the Minerva Empire and the Kingdom of Ters to other small countries.
Thanks to this, Albenheim’s national power is increasing day by day, and even though he lacks ten bodies, he said that he was happy every day because it was the ideal Arwen had dreamed of.
“Doesn’t it make you feel like you’re overworked just by listening to it?”
From what I heard, it was too much work to put out my tongue. The final decision rests with the king, so the workload is terrifying.
In particular, Albnheim is currently in a transitional stage. The Senate, the symbol of Albenheim, has disappeared, and Arwen holds the powerful kingship with the support of the people.
Of course, the amount of work would be beyond my imagination, but I’m worried that Arwen is taking on the whole thing.
Arwen answered in a gentle voice with a soft smile, as if he was reassured that he had seen my expression like that.
“Don’t worry about that. I’m getting four hours of sleep a day.”
“…is that okay?”
It is mentioned that Cindy also endured several days without sleep to write a thesis. That’s why his characteristic slurred tone and his trademark dark circles were engraved.
In this way, unlike humans, who have problems when they do not sleep for more than two days, elves do not have any major problems even if they are awake for a few days.
However, his physical condition tends to drop noticeably, and for this reason, he tends to sleep more than 7 hours a day, except for certain types of work.
“It’s okay. If you use the magic to get a good night’s sleep, there’s no problem.”
“Is there any magic like that? This is the first magic I’ve ever heard of.”
“Our elves use magic in their daily life, so there are various types of magic. There are not only magic for a good night’s sleep, but also magic to relieve tight muscles or improve concentration.”
“Uhm…”
Hearing the story, I shifted my gaze slightly to look at Cecily. Asmodians replaced the question of whether there was such a magic.
When Cecily met me face to face, he laughed and put on a confident expression. It seems that even demons can do that enough.
“That level of magic is the basic of the basics. Demons are not inferior to elves in magic. Magic that is useful in daily life is already common.”
It is also like a demon that is paired with elves. It is an enviable species at any time.
Humans endure even if there are some inconveniences in their daily life, but the two races are overcome with magic, so the quality of life itself will be different.
The more I dug into it, the more I wondered how humans had won the tribal war and how the Savior slaughtered the demons.
‘When will humans be able to use magic in everyday life?’
At the same time, I wonder when humans will catch up with these two races. Elves and demons are races that can fire magic like breathing, and humans can only do so through ‘calculation’.

Even his computational ability is far superior to that of humans, and his memory is at an amazing level. I said that I remember everything I ate on New Year’s Eve 10 years ago.
However, both races, unlike humans, have somewhat lower application power. This is because lifespans several times longer than those of humans have fixed their lifestyle, and they are relaxed because they have little desire to compete.
In particular, humans have the characteristic of trying to leave something behind with a heart close to strife. There is a saying that when a tiger dies, he leaves his skin behind, and when a man dies, he leaves his name.
This often leads to knowledge that is full of failures sooner or later turns into successes. It is speculated that the reason humans have taken the lead now is because so many ‘failures’ have accumulated.
“Both of you are amazing. I’m a human…”
“Don’t be too much like that. Aren’t you the writer of Zeno’s biography?”
“Yes. Isaac. You are the strongest of us. You don’t have to blame yourself.”
Just before I complained about being infinitely humble compared to elves and demons, two women immediately comforted me.
I was talking about racial differences, not individuals.
I was a little shaken by the unexpected comfort, but when the two beautiful women looked at me anxiously, I was somehow happy.
“Thank you. But is it true that humans are weaker than other races? And I’m talking about differences between races, not individuals.”
“Umm… Surely humans are weak.”
Arwen listened to my words and nodded in affirmation.
But soon after, she looked straight at me with her silver-gray eyes shining like the Milky Way, and spoke seriously.
“But humans are strong. I can guarantee this.”
“Humans are weak, but humans are strong…”
It is a phrase that seems to tell at once what kind of race humans are. The words came from the mouth of Arwen, an elf who was not someone else, so the weight was extraordinary.
Moreover, Arwen is not pure blood, but mixed blood. There is a custom of mixed race living in the human world and entering Albenheim when human parents die naturally.
She must have been around the human world for several decades, so she must know better than anyone what a human being is.
“That’s a cool thing to say. I’m going to put this in a separate book.”
I took out a notebook from the front pocket of my school uniform and wrote it down. I think it would be a suitable phrase to explain about Xenon and Lily, who are humans in the future.
As Arwen said, individually, humans are the weakest, but ironically, the most powerful race is humans.
Other races are strong when united, but there is no other race that has historically demonstrated such a cohesive power as humans.

Even if there were demons, they were isolated, so they lacked proof in many ways.
“Chae, you mean to put it in a book? In Zeno’s biography?”
When I said that I would put it in the book, Arwen was greatly embarrassed and asked a question. Her face was full of surprise, and there was also a strange joy.
So I paused for a moment to write in my notebook and looked at her.
“If you don’t like it, why don’t you put it in?”
“Oh, no! Absolutely not! Rather…”
Arwen blushes and is shy without knowing the reason. She seems to be looking forward to what she said will be included in Zeno’s biography.
When I saw Arwen like that and thought to myself that he was cute, Cecily seemed uncomfortable with this situation.
She claps her hands! He grabbed our attention and opened her mouth with a voice that seemed to remember something interesting.
“Oh, come to think of it, Isaac. How about finding out more about what kind of race the demons and elves are?”
“Huh? What else does that mean?”
“You asked me at the cafe. How great is my power, that is, the power of demons. I am an elf who is proud of me, so why not ask Queen Arwen?”
“Aha.”
I think I know roughly what you mean. The story is about asking Arwen for advice, just as he had asked Cecily for advice, so that he could refer to the power of pride.
Arwen will be delighted that his advice will be referenced in Zeno’s biography, and I will be helping myself.
Arwen looked at her with a mysterious expression at Cecily’s opinion, but Cecily only smiled.
“…I don’t care. It’s an honor to be able to help Isaac.”
“Then will you help me?”
“I can do more than that if you wish.”
As soon as he said those words, Cecily’s eyebrows narrowed slightly and then straightened back.
Let’s move on to what more than that Arwen brought out of his mouth. For now, seeking advice is a priority.
“First of all… Let’s move on to things like Elves are famous for their beautiful looks. Instead, I want you to tell us the difference between them and demons. From what I’ve heard, demons have a wide variety and elves have a lot of depth.”
“It is very accurate. We elves first established a civilization with the help of God. And that civilization has been maintained even after thousands of years. It has to be different in depth compared to other races. Not only magic, but knowledge, culture, society, Science, language, etc. It is literally the beginning of everything.”

Even though he was of mixed race, the pride of an elf was Arwen, which he had in his heart, so praise was made from the beginning.
It would be awkward to hear if it was an old-fashioned elf, but because it’s Arwen, I feel like I’m falling for it somehow.
In fact, it could be said that the beginning of all civilizations was an elf, and the humans who achieved civilization after that were nothing more than imitating them, so the basis for confidence was more than sufficient.
“The depth of magic through such a civilization is beyond words. It is possible to observe the stars in the night sky with both eyes, as well as to fertilize the land or make it rain on the land in drought. Even some of them can be replaced with magic.”
“What’s the difference between magic and magic?”
Just like the rain system, you can make it rain with magic. So, what is the difference between these two?
Arwen opened his silver-gray eyes when I mentioned the magic, and asked me with a tone of surprise.
“Are you also aware of magic?”
“I know one beast person. Besides, there are records of humans using magic in the distant past.”
“Ah, it could be because you love reading like I do. If you ever need a related book later, please feel free to ask. I’ll gladly give it to you.”
“Thank you. You’re always rude.”
“What thank you. You are to me…”
It was just at the moment when Arwen was about to say thank you.
“Okay, would you like to continue with the explanation? It’s a waste of time.”
Cecily interrupted the conversation as if she was displeased. She looks at her and shows her displeasure with her arms crossed.
For her, the longer Arwen’s story gets, the less time the two of us spend together, so it’s understandable that she’s reacting like that.
At this, Arwen narrowed his eyes to Cecily’s bumpy appearance for a while, and while coughing in vain, he continued to explain with his characteristic slender voice.
“Large. Big. They have a long four limbs. Anyway, the difference between magic and magic is clear. Magic uses nature itself, whereas magic makes artificial. It’s supposed to be made.”
“Aha. I understand what you mean. So, what about attack magic? I heard that attack magic is stronger than demons because of the difference in firepower.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
When he told the publicly known fact, Arwen opened his eyes and asked in question. She looked like she had heard all sorts of strange noises.
It was only natural for Cecily’s eyes to narrow while listening to him. Was it an illusion that an unknown air current started to flow?
With that or not, Arwen began to explain, timidly, whether to call it elven or self-confidence.
“At first glance, demons with black mana may seem stronger. However, this is a completely wrong common sense. Asmodian magic often causes unnecessary waste. Magic can be said to be a bit outdated in our elves’ eyes.”
“Uh… Can I say that out loud? Is the Princess of Hellium right next to you?”
At my bewildered question, Arwen turned his head to look at Cecily. Cecily has her arms crossed and has an attitude as if to tell her something.
Arwen, who had been confronted with Cecily for a while, opened his mouth boldly, as if he could not concede this much.
“Of course. This isn’t because I’m an elf, it’s a fact. Humans may see demons more glamorous and powerful to you. However, that’s just the appearance. , because their magic is crude and promiscuous in the eyes of elves.”
“·······”
I think this will turn into a fight. I can’t say anything because I’m not familiar with magic, but it’s probably not Cecily.
As soon as I heard that, I checked Cecily’s reaction. She only has a look of displeasure, but she doesn’t say anything back.
Seeing this shows that Arwen’s explanation was not wrong. At the same time, I had a question.
‘How did the demons learn magic?’
The origins of demons are humans. However, during the Demon War, it was difficult for humans to properly handle even mana, let alone magic.
And the answer that solved the question immediately came out of Cecily’s mouth.
“…As the Queen said, our demons’ magic will be confusing to the elves. Our demons use magic closer to instinct than theory. This is the decisive difference between demons and elves.”
“Are you using it instinctively?”
“Yeah. Our demons literally developed magic to survive. First-generation demons often became demons before anyone taught them, so they had to learn on their own. It’s still not long enough.”
It was like that. Unlike elves, demons were literally using magic as if they were breathing.
If the elves activate magic while beating the calculator, the demons put away all the calculations and draws conclusions straight away.
For this reason, the impurity intervenes and the efficiency decreases, but thanks to the firepower of black mana, it is making up for it.
Thanks to this, I learned a clear difference between elves and demons. This is a setting that helps a lot with the difference between gluttony and pride.
“But our demons have the advantage of being much faster than the elves. Simple magic is similar, but the higher you go, the greater the difference becomes. While the elves mumble, our demons end up with just one hand gesture.”
Cecily waving her hands as she contemplated setting up Xenon’s biography, confidently opening her mouth. It seems to exalt the demons, but it is a word to secretly turn the elves away.
There’s no way Arwen, an elf, could stand still in that sarcasm. Arwen frowned and countered with her displeasure.
“Be careful with what you mumble…. The chanting is an essential process in magic. On the contrary, you demons are crude for omitting it.”
“Wouldn’t it be more efficient to cast two more spells during that time? There’s no fool who just sits still and watches the wizard chant.”
In response to Cecily’s reply, Arwen snorted very rarely, and said in a tone of disapproval.
“Ha. As expected, you focus only on battle like a demon. I wonder why you use magic only for attack. As I said before, you don’t need to use magic only for attack. Magic is essential for research that can be of great help to your life. It’s an indispensable power. Is it possible that Helium doesn’t use magic for research? There’s no way that’s going to happen. A race that is comparable to our elves.”
“Ah. That’s…”
Cecily looked away, sparing her words as if she had been stabbed. It seems that Helium has not developed an organ like Albenheim’s Yggdrasil.
Of course, there will be none at all. Helium must have been actively researching magic in its own way.
However, unlike Albenheim, progress is inevitably slow because Xenon’s biography was isolated before the release. On the other hand, Albenheim is actively interacting with other races under Arwen’s policy.
While Cecily hesitated, Arwen nodded his head triumphantly and opened his mouth with an attitude of victory.
“Look, Isaac. Unlike the demons who ignorantly beat their powers, our elves value efficiency. It is proof that the elves are superior to the demons.”
And did it touch the heart?
quick-
Blood vessels sprouted from Cecily’s forehead. Then she muttered quietly in an audible voice.
“On the theme of a dwarf with a small chest…”
“…?”
Did I hear it wrong?
Flat is justice!
🤣
