I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 95
#When I returned, the family was ruined (96)
The ears of the elves who saw the red tree drooped. The black energy surrounding the roots of the World Tree.
The same energy surrounded the tree’s entire body.
It was a tree that made me feel bad just looking at it. Irina asked with frowning eyes.
“Is it that tree that made Mshiron like that?”
“okay.”
Ethan nodded and walked towards the tree.
And with a white flame burning on top of the great sword.
Step by step.
As we approached Yongrinmok, the body of the tree began to tremble.
The black energy spread around him, coiled as if he were a poisonous snake, watching over Ethan.
But I couldn’t rush in carelessly.
White salt filled with the secrets of purification.
This was like a natural enemy to Yongrinmok.
Burrr!
The tree that was shaking violently finally released its energy. It was to block the approaching humans.
however.
Yongrinmok was so helpless.
Suddenly!
With one strike, the black energy began to ignite into white fire.
Chiaaa!
Yongrinmok let out a scream as the white flames slowly spread.
I only lasted for a moment.
Soon hundreds of branches began to droop.
Fighting.
It was at that time that Yongrin, which was hanging in the sky, fell.
Ethan caught the fruit.
“Let me keep this.”
A spirit fruit filled with considerable energy.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t fully ripe, but if you consumed about 70% of the ripeness, you would be able to generate quite a lot of mana. The elves, including Irina, nodded.
If it weren’t for the operation in front of me, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything until the World Tree was completely dead.
Of course, that was the price the duke deserved.
Yongrinmok was ablaze with white flames, and acrid smoke flowed out between the mountains. The smoke, which was gray at first, was turning white as time passed. The evil energy gradually began to be purified.
It was then.
Ilya said, looking at Ethan.
“Heulheul.” Peacock.”
“why.”
“Are you just going to burn it all down?”
“maybe.”
Yongrinmok was a guy with tough vitality. If you burn every single root, it will never grow again. Ilya pondered Ethan’s words.
“Hmm, it’s such a waste… How can’t we leave just one branch?”
“Why eggplant?”
“I plan to use it as an auxiliary material along with the World Tree when restoring the handle of the divine sword.”
“Yongrinmok?”
“Isn’t the peacock’s energy at a level that can purify that evil tree? If you purify the branch, you will be able to utilize some quite useful functions. For example… the ability to absorb mana from the atmosphere.”
“Hmm.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up.
In my previous life, the Yongrin tree was a plant that had to be killed without leaving any roots behind.
A tree full of terrible memories. That’s why I didn’t even think about using it.
‘Purify it and recycle it.’
If it is the power of white flame.
As Ilya said, it seemed possible to use it that way.
“I will leave you a branch.”
Ethan skillfully controlled the white flame that stuck to the tree.
After burning every single piece of root hidden under the ground.
Baekyeom was sent upward.
The energy of Yongrinmok moved as if struggling to avoid the white flame.
The energy of being chased and chased eventually all gathered into one thick branch.
“You guy!”
The moment Ilya moved her mana.
A branch fell onto her hand.
“Heulheul.” You are trembling with fear. I was very scared. So here it is. “Do not completely purify it.”
“Sure.”
The cleanup work took place quickly.
There remains a branch that retains some of the characteristics of the Yongrin tree but has purified its vicious nature to a moderate degree.
Ilya’s eyes lit up after receiving the branch.
“It’s been purified to just the right level. If you hold the center with the branches of the World Tree… and use the characteristics of the Yonglin Tree… you can create a fantastic handle…”
Mumbling.
She seemed to be already designing the design, as if she were a production wizard.
“Go back.”
The work in the Great Mountains is over.
What you have to do now is:
All I had to do was get a branch of the World Tree.
* * *
Blue wind.
When I returned to the tribe of elves.
The elves, including Irina, bowed their heads.
“Thank you for saving our tribe. If it weren’t for the Duke, we would have definitely faced destruction without knowing anything.”
“I just did what I had to do. So there is nothing to be thankful for.”
Duke of Ethan.
He was showing a demeanor that could be called a great man.
“You said you needed a branch of Mshiron, right? “I will give it to you.”
The high elf walked towards the world tree and stroked the tree.
Then a thick branch fell from the tree.
“This is the part of the eggplant that has the most energy.”
“okay.”
Ethan took the branch and looked at Irina.
“Are you planning to grow the World Tree here again?”
“…I do not know.”
Mshiron.
The World Tree was dying now.
Although Yongrinmok was removed, that fact did not change. This is because the source has already been sucked away to the point where it cannot be recovered.
The high elf sighed.
A world tree that gives seeds when it dies. High elves had a duty to grow those seeds and turn them into lush trees.
“Should I get the seeds and then grow them here again… or should I move…”
“If I grow them here again, I might be attacked by them again. “Because what they were aiming for was the World Tree.”
“…I want to ask you one thing.”
“Let me ask.”
“The force targeting the World Tree… Is that force huge?”
“It’s big. “The people I met today do not account for even a single fraction of that force.”
Church of Naraxus.
This church had already grown in power to the point where it was recognized as an official ‘church’ in other countries except the Kingdom of Heidern. At best, it is not an organization that can be said to have suffered a great blow just because one bishop in one kingdom died.
“…okay.”
Irina sighed.
‘…What if they invade the mountains again?’
At that time, they had to fight against them with only the power of the elves, without the protection of the World Tree.
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think the odds of winning were high.
If those who failed once visit again, it is obvious that they will bring stronger people than before.
Ethan said while looking at the high elf who was thinking.
“Do you need protection?”
“…yes?”
“The dragon people are not only my enemies but also the elves. “I don’t want to see them get the seeds of the World Tree.”
Irina’s ears perked up at those words.
“…are you saying you will help us?”
“If you want.”
Elves were a closed race.
Even if they were of the same race, if their tribes were different, they would get along like strangers.
Of course, I couldn’t hope for help from my own people.
It was obvious that if they received help from other tribes, their tribe would not only be disbanded but would also begin to be discriminated against and despised.
In such a situation, a person of a completely different species willingly stepped forward to help them.
It was hard to believe.
“If it’s protection… how…”
“Come to the duchy.”
“…A duchy?”
“No matter how big the ‘church’ that attacked you is, they will not be able to easily invade my territory.”
“That…that.”
“At least this would be a much better choice than facing death while stuck in the mountains.”
world tree.
It was a tree that not only made the surrounding area prosperous, but also sprinkled energy on the land.
In addition, elves were a race with superior skills than humans in growing and caring for plants.
If the elves came to the duchy, they would be able to maintain a rich granary beyond the level of self-sufficiency in food.
Irina was silent at Ethan’s words.
Changing residence.
Originally, it was something I wouldn’t have even thought about.
In the past, humans kidnapped elves and used them as slaves, and because of that, elves and humans did not have a very good relationship.
However, unlike other humans, the Duke was a hero who willingly helped them and a colleague with a common enemy.
‘What should I do…’
It was a moment when Irina was pondering.
Ilya, who had been listening quietly to the side, joined the conversation.
“Irina.”
“…yes.”
“The duke is a pretty decent human being. At least they won’t do anything outrageous to you like the humans of the past did. Isn’t that right, Duke?”
Ethan nodded.
“If you come to the duchy, I will give you self-government. And the elves will be protected under the name of Ardan.”
“Ardan….”
“Heulheul.” Those are good conditions. At least among the citizens of Heidern Kingdom, there will be no more humans who are big enough to mess with elves. “That is what it means to be protected under the name of Ardan.”
At Ilya’s words, Irina nodded as if she had made up her mind.
“…great. “Then what can we do for the Duke?”
“You just need to grow the World Tree well.”
“…yes? “Really… that’s all you need to do?”
If you start growing the World Tree, the surrounding area will turn into a dense forest.
If that were really the only condition, the lives of the elves would not be much different from before.
“okay. “There is no need to live together with humans.”
It was obvious that if humans and elves were to be brought together overnight and released into the city, great chaos would come. It was for that very reason that the self-governance decree was issued.
It was up to them to decide for themselves whether or not to interact with humans in the future.
The autonomous decree to be given to the elves was determined.
Londinium is the largest city in the duchy and also serves as the capital. It was planned to hand over the open land between there and the Earldom of Amelton, which would later be developed as a granary.
As the World Tree grows, the surrounding land power will become richer and it will have a great influence on the granary area.
“Thank you…thank you.”
“How many tribes do you have?”
“About eight thousand.”
“I will send escort troops within 15 days. “Don’t be too wary if black-armed knights come.”
I couldn’t lead eight thousand people alone. Since there is a contact crystal ball, I moved to a city that was far away and made contact.
The correct answer would then be to send troops to escort the elves and make them move.
“All right.”
Negotiations with the elves are over.
* * *
Three days later.
Ethan arrived near the city closest to the Torlan Mountains and infused mana into the crystal ball.
‘The distance is finally reached.’
After a while.
Sylvia appeared between the crystal balls.
– Did you finish your work well?
“okay. “I got everything I needed.”
-Congratulations.
Branches of the World Tree and the Yonglin Tree.
The plan was to go back and do some magical work on these two branches and then merge them with the original handle.
“And…”
Ethan continued explaining about elves. Sylvia, who heard the story, nodded.
-yes. We will dispatch troops. We will also be preparing a draft for the autonomous territory from now on.
I felt comfortable with this because I had a smart manager.
Because there are fewer things to worry about.
-Oh. His Excellency, Marquis Bloten, said he would receive the metal in about a month. You have completed your reservation.
‘It looks like the profits are good.’
Elena’s design.
There was no doubt that he benefited greatly from it. Otherwise, there would be no reason to immediately pay double the reservation deposit.
“i get it.”
―Duke. I have one more thing to report to you. This is information about the black community that you ordered to investigate last time.
The Black Society, an organization of assassins located in the lawless city of Carmen.
“Did you grab the tail?”
-yes.
Sylvia continued her report.
―In Carmen, a place called ‘Blind Auction House’ is located in area 7. This is the place where a large number of black society executives are located.
“Good work.”
-no.
That’s how the contact ended.
Ilya, who looked like a child rather than an old woman, looked at me and asked.
“Black society? “What kind of organization does that do?”
“This is a group of assassins.”
“Are you going to request an assassination?”
“No way.”
“Huh? Then?”
“We have to absorb it here.”
Carmen.
It was a city not far from here.
