I see your code (147)
“… … .”
Gorenzo, who was watching the stadium, couldn’t say anything and had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. Because he knew the skills of the elves who had risen better than anyone else. No, is it correct to say that I knew?
‘The strongest level 3 warrior who will never lose against opponents of the same class… … .’
That’s why he recommended it directly against Duilan’s opinion that he should upload a suitable 3rd grade article. In order not to let the kites who dare touch the World Tree live.
hard.
‘It was the last chance to legally kill.’
Gorenzo thought, grinding his teeth.
There’s only one way out of this situation. Just to assassinate as originally planned. It was a much stronger skill than expected, but it wasn’t a problem. Because there are countless elves who believe in and follow the World Tree like that.
‘If it can’t be done with one person, it’s okay to send ten people.’
It’s called due tactics. No matter how you try, it’s a level 3 level, so if you deal with it with numbers, you won’t be able to beat it.
At that moment, Galadriel, who was watching with him, burst into admiration, whether or not he knew he had such a plan inside.
“That… … I can’t believe it.”
“It is definitely a great skill. But you wouldn’t be able to react that way, would you?”
Galadriel was a genius among geniuses who reached second grade at the age of just over 100. No matter how much he did, he could never imagine that he would be surprised against a 3rd-grade squirrel. Isn’t he a talented person who can become a first-class within 100 years?
But Galadriel shook his head with a stiff face as if not at all.
“Of course, if I had gone to a duel, I would have been able to do that. No, he could have finished it sooner than I did. But the question is not how quickly you beat your opponent.”
“… … So what’s the problem?”
“It’s a moment, but I also missed that human movement.”
Galadriel swallowed a gulp.
“Even though there have been a few cases like this among talented people in the same class, there has never been a case like that with a lower-class opponent. But isn’t that person only reaching level 3?”
“… … Could it be that he was hiding his skills?”
“It wouldn’t be. Unless humans have invented a way to hide their realm in the last 10 years. but… … ”
Galadriel, who seemed a little hesitant, muttered quietly as he looked at the arena.
“It looks like you have some special skills. For example, exploding the inner potential in an instant… … . It’s just not the strength to reach a level 3 level.”
It was the best conclusion he could draw as a man of great skill, but of little bureaucracy. In any case, the opinion of one of the greatest swordsmanship geniuses in the history of the elves. Its credibility was considerable.
‘It’s not the strength to keep going.’
Then the job becomes easier. Already in Gorenzo’s head, a way to attack that person was coming to mind. Picking out a few of the most effective ones, Gorenzo secretly grinned.

“Did I say I’ll finish it sooner?”
With a blank expression on his face, he smiled as he received the coat he was handed over. At that moment, Arina’s eyes widened as if she had come to her senses.
“When did you become so strong? I think it was just yesterday that you flirted with the Inquisitor.”
“Hey, no matter what, I never flirted.”
“It’s true that I flaunted myself by only blocking one. Do you know that as long as you have a dignified attitude, that’s everything?”
“… … .”
Obviously, my skills were a bit lacking back then. Because it was not long before I came to this world. Frankly, personally, I think it deserves praise just for being sane in that situation.
I put on my coat again and said.
“Let’s stop talking when we’re young. Everyone has at least one black history.”
“It’s only been three years.”
“It matters how densely you spent those three years. Haven’t you become so strong that you don’t even think about it? It’s all possible because I put so much effort into it.”
“… … That’s it too.”
Arina sighed a little, as if she couldn’t resist until that point.
“More than that, is it really all over now? After all, isn’t it true that this was the first round?”
“That is impossible. Unless they’re trying to completely lose sight of Argon. but… … .”
“But what?”
I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at the audience seated by the elders.
“It’s the end of the game.
“… … What does that mean?”
“You don’t know. You’ll figure it out on your own.”
Arina pursed her lips at my words.
“You know what to do when you meet. Now, you know that this isn’t Rihanna’s mission, it’s mine, right?”
“So are you complaining?”
“What are the complaints? I just want to say thank you.”
Then, he smiles softly and bends his back 90 degrees.
“I will trust only Rihanna on this mission. It seems like there is nothing I can do anyway.”
have nothing to do… … . well
I laughed out loud when I saw that.
It’s good to be carefree, but it probably won’t be okay for him. Rather, as I expected, he will suffer quite a bit.
But I didn’t really bring those things out. It’s true that I couldn’t do it exactly. It was because Duilan had come close to me all of a sudden.
“… … I’m honestly surprised. I was thinking about what to do after you got injured.”
“It’s because I don’t like to go into work that I’m not confident about.”
I turned my body toward Arina and said.
“In that case, we can stay here and finish our mission, right?”
“of course. There will still be those who are dissatisfied, but… … That tidying up I’ll try. After all, since this duel has been a practice for over a thousand years, they probably won’t have much to say. I don’t know if I’d been against it from the beginning.”
Duylan said so and looked directly at me.
“More than that, I want to ask you about the meaning of what you said before.”
“Are you saying that you alone will not be able to restore the World Tree?”
“okay.”
“I have nothing to explain. It’s literally what it means.”
I shrugged and looked east. This is the direction Andras’ code is floating in.
“Isn’t the investigation that would have been entrusted to the 5 elders finally finished? Let’s go check it out together.”
“… … I remember I never explained it.”
“Didn’t the elder know all of the images of our sudden arrival? You can think of it as a similar line.”
Duilan looked at me without saying a word for a while at my casual reply. There were mixed emotions in his eyes, whether it was borderline or admiration. I also looked at him calmly without avoiding those eyes.
How much time has passed
Duylan smiled in a rare way, turned his back and said.
“With that said, I have nothing to say. The next topic will be postponed until I go to Andras and check it out.”
“It’s an excellent choice.”
I too, with a similar smile, led Arina with a bewildered expression and followed her.

Andras’ house was not different from other houses. If you have to search for it, is it that there are laboratory flasks that don’t fit inside? It wasn’t that many either.
Anyway, he said without a sign of surprise when he saw us suddenly coming in.
“Is the match even cancelled? I see a few faces that shouldn’t be here.”
“The match went on normally. It just ended a little too soon.”
“… … Is the match over already?”
Then Andras made a stupid voice, probably a little embarrassed. Duilan nodded her head calmly.
“Winners don’t have to tell me, right? When you see them here, the results will be clear.”
“… … That’s true, but I can’t even guess how they won. According to my analysis, it must have been that person who lost.”
“I’d say it’s because you don’t have an eye for force, but… … That’s what I was thinking too, so it’s hard to say.”
Saying so, Duylan drew closer to Andras.
“You can ask the 7th Elder about how the match went. For now, I’d rather have a conversation about the world tree than that. Did the investigation result come out?”
Andras glanced at me incessantly, still confused, finally sighing and lifting a flask nearby.
“Yes. I don’t know if I should say fortunately, but the World Tree’s lifespan has not come to an end. The worst can be said to have been avoided.”
“Then it must be a lack of nutrients.”
“you’re right. So it can be seen as a lesser-evil situation.”
Andras continued, setting out three flasks.
“These are each with only the nutrients contained in the ground, with only pure magical power, and finally, both are mixed in equal proportions. Can you see any difference?”
At those words, I looked at the insides of the World Tree in the flask.
It was rotten in the same shape without any difference. I wondered if it would feel different to the elves, but they must have looked the same. Duylan shook his head and said.
“They all look the same.”
“That is the problem.”
Andras sighed heavily.
“As I expected, I found that I needed something more, but I don’t know what it is. I’ve already tested it with hundreds of different substances, and nothing gets better.”
Andras seemed quite disappointed by that fact, but I was actually a little surprised by him.
It’s been a few days since I and Arina came to this town.
However, the fact that he has already completed hundreds of experiments means that Andras has been preparing for this kind of situation from a long time ago.
Should I say that he is the person who pushed the world tree treatment, which everyone opposes? I wish I could have gone through that hardship on my own.
Then, Andras continued speaking.
“… … There are still about a dozen or so materials left, but all of them are of low probability. No, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that the possibility is zero. To be honest, I’m not in a position to look at the world tree, but I don’t know what else to do. At least, as far as I know, these are all known substances.”
“You say so.”
Duylan turned to me and said. His eyes are calm without showing any emotion.
“So far this is what you said, but can I trust that you even have a solution?”
At that, Andras made a bewildered expression on his face.
“1 Elder, what do you mean by that? How do humans solve what we can’t solve… … .”
“I didn’t ask you. I asked them.”
Duylan spoke with a firm voice and stared at me with a piercing gaze. It’s like if you don’t have confidence, you should go back now.
I looked at her face and smiled.
“Don’t worry.”
And he said in a low voice.
“Because I am the one who has the energy that the World Tree lacks.”
