757 – Add Nature to the Ruins – 3

There was an awkward silence for a moment due to the unexpected proposal.

In fact, it may be a narrow-minded idea to say that only one world tree should exist. The fact that the process of creating the World Tree is difficult is just a vague guess. To put it bluntly, Constantina has never said that there should be only one world tree, nor has she ever said that making a world tree is difficult.

No, of course it won’t be easy to create a world tree. This is a unique situation where faith has suddenly increased, so it may be possible to create a world tree. This is by no means a normal situation.

‘Well, isn’t the World Tree a very important thing to the elves? Can I make more of that?’

So, I barely suppressed my confusion and asked. The World Tree is a treasure and a source of pride for the elves, so no matter how much you can make it, is it still okay to make a new one?

-What the benefactor said is correct. The World Tree is nothing short of a cradle that embraces the elves. A place like the home of my close friends, the spirits, and my children, the fairies. If another world tree like that were created, confusion would inevitably arise.

‘Then─’

– That’s why I said it was like a world tree. I have no intention of making the world tree as is.

‘Ah.’

I came to my senses belatedly after hearing Constantina’s words.

That’s right. Surely Constantina said she was ‘like’ the world tree, she never said she was the world tree.

I’m a little embarrassed. I can’t believe that someone who rose to the level of a minister can’t even recognize simple expressions like this. Did I go crazy for a moment at the possibility of a second world tree being born?

– The tree is the world tree, so if I make it this time, I plan to make flowers. A huge flower field with hundreds or thousands of flowers.

‘I’m looking forward to it just by hearing it. If it were a flower garden created by the God of Vegetation, it would be the most beautiful place on the continent.’

Since I felt more at ease than before, I obediently expressed my sympathy.

Yes, if it isn’t a world tree, what does it matter what you make? Rather, it is a desirable situation to have one more tourist attraction with great views.

Isn’t there a famous tourist attraction called Tulip Garden in the County of Planvel, Lynn’s hometown? If Constantina’s own flower garden were created, it would be in the spotlight as a continental tourist destination.

‘I am not sure of His Majesty’s will, but I think he would be willing to accept a flower garden. It would be perfect to build it within a protected area for this species.’

Creating a new tourist site within a tribal reserve already famous as a tourist destination. It may seem like favoritism for a specific region, but the gods of a different race are exercising their power within the protected area of a different race. What is the problem?

Moreover, with Hyun Hyeong-gong’s abilities, he will be able to manage the sudden creation of God’s work with ease. Regardless of his ability to drink alcohol, he is the best in the empire in terms of administrative ability.

– It is impossible to create it within a protected area for other races.

‘Yes?’

However, Constantina refused the most suitable location.

– The World Tree is a place where faith in me gathers, and it is nothing short of a symbol of my divinity.

‘Oh, yes. I know that.’

– If you create a new nova mass next to such a world tree, there is a high possibility that they will collide with each other. My strength may run out too much.

That’s a bit troublesome. Constantina is already overflowing with faith and is intentionally consuming it, but if her power goes out of control, the meaning of consuming it disappears.

Crucially, it feels like if the power of Constantina, the god of vegetation, goes out of control, the entire tribal reserve will be covered with bushes. If you are unlucky, part of the Duchy of Chenes may be encroached upon.

– So I’m embarrassed, but I have something to ask my benefactor.

‘Please speak comfortably.’

-Wouldn’t the benefactor consult with the emperor and find a suitable place? It just needs to be an area that is far from protected areas for other races and has weak faith in me.

I nodded my head in bewilderment at those words.

Suddenly, a place was decided to become a continent-wide tourist destination or a new sacred place for elves.

‘Should we just send it to the north?’

I had that thought for a moment, but I quickly shook it off.

It is true that the north is a region far from the protection zone for other races, and it is also true that it is a region where faith in Constantina is weak. However, if there are traces of Constantina in the north, the home of the eternal blue sky, the consequences are fearful.

You probably have to listen to the complaints of some god for 20 hours a day, 360 days a year. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

I moved to a quiet place and quietly took out the communication device. As Constantina’s faith is accumulating even at this moment, it is beneficial to discuss it through the communication port without having to go to the Sunjeon.

Of course, if you use teleportation, you can get to Taeyangjeon quickly, but at best, I sent the triplets to their grandmother and said, ‘I’m busy, so I’ll go first.’ That’s a bit harsh to say. You can put a burden on your grandmother for no reason.

– Creating a new world tree?

“To be exact, it is a plant similar to the World Tree. This time, they said they would make a flower instead of a tree.”

It seems like an enormous burden has been placed on the emperor’s heart in return, but honestly, that’s none of my business. Rather, it is enjoyable.

Anyway, the emperor’s expression changed complicated after hearing my report. They are probably calculating whether this is a gain or a loss, if it is a gain, in what direction the authority of the empire and the imperial family will increase, and if there is a material gain, how much their wallet will become fatter.

I leisurely watched the emperor like that. My role ended with conveying Constantina’s wishes

Talking with the emperor to decide on a location for the flower garden? I am willing to do that much. Why is it so difficult to decide on a place?

– Minister.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Please speak.”

– Did you say that protection zones for different races are not allowed?

“Yes, I definitely said that.”

I could see the emperor beyond the communication port sighing.

Looking at that, the corner of his mouth twitched like crazy. A person who was resting in the mansion was suddenly sent to a protected area for other races. You get that karma back as is.

– The most suitable place is the protected area for other races, but other than that, it is difficult to think of a suitable place.

“What about the imperial palace? If it’s a flower garden and not a tree, wouldn’t it be okay to provide a corner of the imperial palace?”

-Are you serious?

“If it doesn’t work, there’s nothing we can do.”

The answer was as if he was telling me not to talk nonsense, so I quickly backed away. I tried it once, but as expected, I got a negative reaction.

The Livnoman Imperial Family is in a position to maintain friendly relations with the Dawn Church and the Eternal Blue Sky Faith. It is difficult for only traces of a specific god to be in the imperial palace.

– Rather, I think I would prefer the mansion of the minister who is Constantina’s benefactor.

“Soshin has no talent in growing flowers.”

Suddenly, she remembered the flower pot that Lin had given her when she was an advisor to the confectionery club, but she tried to put it out of her mind.

That’s one thing, and there are hundreds or thousands of flower fields. It is not subject to comparison.

“What about where Behemoth is?”

– If flower fields are added to areas already covered with vegetation, the road may be encroached upon. How about the capital of the Muno Empire? It’s a historic site with no people anyway, so it’s okay to have some flowers.

“That’s true, but isn’t the capital of the Muno Empire close to the Duchy of Chenes?”

-But. You don’t have that feeling.

In an instant, several regions were repeatedly nominated and then lost.

This is difficult. Since it is an empire that boasts a vast territory, I thought I would find a suitable place quickly, but surprisingly, I can’t think of a good place.

However, we cannot leave the flower garden that God gave us anywhere. If it’s a gift you receive, you should make the most of it.

– Ah.

“Your Majesty?”

While pondering for a while, the emperor let out a low exclamation.

– …No, it’s nothing. That doesn’t seem right.

“Oh, yes.”

Then he gently shook his head and discarded the idea before he could even say it.

It’s a shame. I was looking forward to finding a good place─

-No. Rather, is it okay because it’s there?

‘No, this b*stard.’

Seeing him go back and forth alone made me cry for a moment.

It’s not like you’re trying to push me, what is this? Are you dating me?

“Your Majesty. Please grant Your Majesty’s wisdom to even minor spirits.”

I said the sentence, “Stop being a b*tch and say what’s in your head,” In a purified manner as much as possible.

Whether it’s okay or not isn’t something you can decide on your own. First of all, you have to listen first to decide whether you agree or disagree with the emperor’s opinion.

– Minister. What does the Minister think of the Academy?

“Yes?”

However, I couldn’t believe my ears because it was an unexpected name.

At the home of the crazy b*stards who burned down the World Tree… Let’s beat up the divinity of Constantina?

‘Am I crazy?’

I knew he wasn’t crazy from the start, but it’s hard to be this crazy at that age, right?

***

My eventful life at the academy is already coming to an end.

Seeing the blurry end made me feel happy yet empty, empty yet contented. Because this old man’s greed finally paid off.

‘I never thought the road I walked down on a whim would be so beautiful.’

As soon as he graduated from the academy, he committed himself to the military and lived as a battle mage. He did not mind putting blood on his hands for his current empire.

However, after walking that path, only a feeling of emptiness remained. I don’t regret my choice, but I have doubts about whether I can end my life like this.

So he took a new path. Rather than remaining a military elder, he chose a second path as an educator. I wanted to take care of young sprouts for the future empire, not the present.

It wasn’t an easy road. Now that the old man who had rolled and rolled on the battlefield had chosen a new path, he couldn’t even be sure whether he would be able to stand in the Order before he died.

‘I did it in the end.’

He achieved that unpredictable future and rose to the glorious position of academy principal. I have succeeded as a wizard, a soldier, and an educator, so how can I have any regrets in my life?

However, in the latter years of his life, a tremendous incident occurred where a royal family from another country and the next saint entered the school, but that incident also passed without incident. Now I smile and say, ‘That was the case back then.’ It’s gotten to the point where I can just say,

And thanks to that experience, I developed a mind that is not disturbed by most things. Even though we recently discovered an ancient artifact at an archeology club, we couldn’t help but feel calm.

Strong mental strength created by accumulated age and experience. This is the greatest treasure I have gained from the academy, as I will be stepping down from my position as principal in a few months.

─ I thought.

[A huge flower field is scheduled to be formed near the academy. These are Constantina’s traces, so don’t be disturbed. ]

Until the Ministry of Education sent a strange message.

‘What is this?’

Until colorful flowers cover the fields beyond the castle walls.

With only a few months left until retirement, something incredibly bizarre happened.
