Chapter 538 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 24
Clatter, rattle.
The sound of empty plates being scraped resonates throughout the room. The store owner, who heard the sound a few times, approached and opened his mouth as he looked at the empty bowl in front of the two.
“Would you like some more?”
“Yes? Ah… No. It’s okay.”
“Then do you want to clean up the dishes?”
“Yes. “Please.”
The owner, who heard Orion’s words, smiled brightly and retrieved the reception desk placed in front of Orion and Dojin.
Looking at the dishes piled up on the tray, Orion carefully opened her mouth.
“I…”
“Huh? What else are you ordering?”
“No, it’s not like that… That one. Has it been there from the beginning?”
Orion said that and looked out her window. Until yesterday, there was only a long shadow on the window where the sun was shining brightly.
It was a shadow created by a tree ten of meters tall that suddenly appeared in the store yard.
“Oh, that one? It wasn’t there until yesterday. I’m going crazy because of that too. What on earth is going on? Could a tree that size be created overnight? I feel like I want to call a woodcutter and destroy them right away, but the knights from the Yeongju Castle tell me to leave them alone because they need to do some investigation…”
“Ah, yes. “I understand.”
Orion, who listened to his master speaking in tongues non-stop as if he had a lot to say, walked away from his master as if that was enough.
Orion, who was left alone, looked at Do-jin who was silently drinking water, and her eyes widened as if she had something to say.
“Leader. “You know what’s going on, right?”
“… Roughly. There is something I can feel, though.”
“What on earth is going on?”
The day after I had sex with Dojin. A tree similar to that seen in a major forest suddenly appeared in the yard.
If you can’t find any correlation here, you’re either very clueless or not intelligent enough to be called a goblin.
“Where should I start…”
“I have a lot of time. Especially elves.”
“Then let me tell you from the beginning. It will be a little longer.”
Dojin explained his situation. So, he is not actually from this world, but from this world, and thus he has the ability to escape the laws of the world.
I didn’t know if that ability could be applied to other people, but I guess my ability must have had an effect on Orion as well.
After hearing the explanation, Orion was speechless for a moment and was lost in thought.
“People from another world… It doesn’t have any magical power, so it has the ability to escape the law…”
It was an absurd story even for an elf who had lived for over hundreds of years to hear. However, speaking in this situation, it actually became a more believable story.
It was absurd, unrealistic, and impossible, but wasn’t it a story that came out of this situation where she couldn’t benefit by tricking her?
You can believe it because you can’t believe it. It’s paradoxical, but it was so.
“Great. “I will believe it.”
“… Really?”
“It’s an absurd story, though. Rather, I can trust it more because it is not a story to be brought up in a situation like this.”
Dojin, who knew that what she was saying was a very absurd story, looked at Orion, feeling fortunate. Regardless of whether she believed what she said, she still couldn’t accept what had happened to her.
Looking at Orion rolling her eyes here and there as if chasing dust in the air, Dojin asked carefully.
“So- what happened?”
“Yes? “What is it?”
“That tree. What should I do to make something like that grow?”
“… “Didn’t you know everything?”
“I know it’s because of me, but I don’t know what it is.”
Orion, who saw Do-jin slyly asking, “As a person from this world, I don’t know what that tree is or why it looks like that,” Nodded her head.
“That… That’s a kind of world tree.”
“World tree? “I heard it’s where the elves live?”
“Yes. In fact, opinions were divided even among scholars.”
How was the World Tree created?
What is the reason why elves live near the World Tree?
Some scholars say that it is because the World Tree gave birth to elves, and thus the elves worship their mother, the World Tree.
Some also said that the world tree grows where there are elves, and therefore the place where the elves gather becomes the forest of the world tree.
It was something no one could prove. In this day and age where even the first elves have died of old age, how can we find out whether the world tree or the elves came first?
There was no way that human scholars could figure out things that even the elves, who were said to live forever, did not know.
“I also thought the World Tree came first…”
Therefore, Orion believed in the theory that the world tree came first. Because trusting and following the World Tree Mother was the mainstream common sense of the current elves.
But now? After having sexual intercourse with Do-jin, I had no choice but to change my mind when a world tree suddenly grew near where I lived.
It is said that the World Tree was created by elves.
The world tree does not give birth to elves, but the elves give birth to the world tree.
‘There…’
-Kyahaha!
-Where am I?
-There are a lot of humans!
Now Orion’s eyes saw spirits flying around the World Tree. These were things she had never seen even in the forest where she was born.
Because her affinity with the original spirits was low, her spirits did not even show themselves, let alone show interest in her. Thanks to this, she learned skills other than elemental magic, and she was lucky enough to become an elf ranger.
Nevertheless, her admiration for elves who used elemental magic remained in her heart.
“Come here.”
-Did you call us?
-Kyahahahaha!
-It’s an elf, an elf!
At this moment, Orion realized that she could deal with those spirits whenever she wanted. It doesn’t matter where it is.
Spirits are born from the World Tree.
Also.
Because the World Tree was born from elves.
If the elf herself wishes, those spirits will lend her power to her anytime and anywhere. Even if it is the deepest place in the world. Even in dungeons…
‘If this is it.’
Dojin can help.
Orion was sure of that fact.
* * *
Whether a world tree or a person from another world suddenly appears in the village, the adventurer’s guild’s clock runs.
This means that Dojin and his party entered the dungeon as if nothing had happened.
Dojin and his group entered the dungeon, but they immediately realized something was different from yesterday. Dojin, Raije, and Orion himself had no choice but to realize this.
-Wow?
“No, what is this…” …”
“Government ordinance… Orion, were you an elementalist?”
“Uh… So that’s how it happened?”
Dojin looked at the monsters spread out in front of him. The people who had been spewing murderous energy at them just moments ago were now rolling on the floor, unable to control their bodies.
How it happened was very simple. The moment they encountered the monster, the spirits that suddenly appeared from somewhere launched an attack towards the monsters.
The monsters running towards us didn’t notice the spirit at all, and they were hit so one-sided that they lost their lives.
‘What is that…? …’
Do-jin, who witnessed the scene, burst into laughter. I was also able to understand why elementalists were in the spotlight. The monsters did not notice the presence of the spirit at all. It was like that even though it was attacked unilaterally.
What if the spirit is not visible not only to monsters but also to others? The elementalist could become the best assassin and the best weapon in itself.
‘At least I can see it.’
Will he be able to cut it? Do-jin secretly brought his hand to the hilt of the sword and judged whether he would be able to fight the spirit and survive. As Raije said, if he is free from the laws of this world, then of course he can win against the spirits…
In the first place, winning or losing is something that should not be assumed carelessly. It is a common occurrence in the world of competition for a weak team that was thought to never win to win against a strong team that was certain to win.
There is no law that prevents you from doing that to yourself.
“How did this happen?”
“… “What is it?”
“Orion. As far as I know, you wouldn’t have any talent for elemental magic. How on earth did you… In one morning? …”
Rise, who was puzzled by Orion’s awakening, let out an exclamation and then looked at Dojin and Orion alternately. Raije, who was glaring at Dojin with a threatening look, came to enlightenment as he saw Dojin trying to avoid his gaze.
“─Dojin. “Let me ask you just one question.”
“… “What is it?”
“Did you do it?”
“… Is it important?”
“It seems like I did after hearing that. Okay. It’s important. What’s important is – Orion. “You didn’t use birth control, right?”
“Yes, yes? Well… Because leaders are human.”
“Let’s go back right away.”
“Yes? “Why?”
“Oh, no way…”
The probability of an elf and human interacting and having a child is very small. Orion relied on that common sense and did not receive anything like birth control magic.
That was a handshake.
“─Dojin, because this guy can impregnate all races.”
“… Yes? What is that-.”
“Whether it’s a mouse, a pixie, a monster, or a polyp, everything.”
Rize glared at Orion’s ship with sharp eyes.
“Maybe it’s already in the process of conception.”
