266 Episode 185: The Realm of World Trees and Goddesses

Listen to Scarlett and understand that many of the questions and discomforts felt before and after coming to the Crimson Empire have been resolved.

In particular, it is significant that we were able to hear convincing stories about the 'invasion of the Kingdom of Estea' and the 'murder of the Golden Fox couple', an important element in deciding whether or not to cooperate with Scarlett (allowing the killing of the Golden Fox, not tolerating it would be a different story).

But let's just say...

"In the meantime, isn't that too much behind your actions?

The case of the wife, the case of the child, the case of Kim Iong.

"Ha, you're absolutely right!... Well, most of them deserve it, so I can't even complain. Especially when it comes to both my wife and kid, my lack of effort is one of the major factors. There's no excuse for Kim Lon."

Scarlett telling me to repent.

Indeed, depending on Scarlett's response, much of the tragedy could have been avoided.

If I could have predicted the tragedy beforehand, it would be another story...

There's just one thing that bothers me.

Scarlett's story is naturally due to Scarlett's subjectivity.

Besides, the details would be largely broken to keep the story short.

Scarlett said she had no interest in the children and had little to do with them, but she didn't think it was accurate.

For the sake of saying that he was not interested, Scarlett had an understanding of the children's condition, character, etc., and was able to talk to them from the point of view of being his successor.

To say there was nothing to do with it, Carmine really admired Scarlett, and as far as I know, the kids never said anything bad about Scarlett.

... Well, even though Scarlett didn't talk about it, it wouldn't be like asking later.

"As far as I'm concerned, I think I've heard a lot about you, so I'm happy."

"So, can you help me?

Scarlett asks quickly.

"Honestly, it's a little hard to decide just what we're talking about right now. Specifically, what cooperation is needed? I never got around to it."

I don't know what you want me to do, but I can't promise to cooperate.

I didn't ask any questions because it has nothing to do directly with my story...

"Oh, that's the part I deliberately saved. When you talk to Lily's grandmother, it saves her time listening to her together. So I don't have to make an appointment at the moment, so can you tell me about the status of the consideration?

"I think I can give a pretty positive answer. After that, I think if the content of the cooperation is not something that demands a significant disadvantage, I can say OK."

"Okay! That's all you need to hear now!

Scarlet in a small, gutsy pose.

I guess you want my help by then.

"Then next up is Lily's grandmother's 'story'. As far as I'm concerned, the most I want to know about how to get to The Realm of the Goddess, but what does Jin want to hear from?

"Right...... Mr. Lily, who the hell are you?

Right now, the first thing I want to hear is who Lily is.

Because of the title of "The Princess Witch," I'm pretty sure she's involved in the Disaster Dragon, but I don't have any other information, so it's hard to tell exactly what kind of existence she is.

"Now you're talking about me. I bet 'one of the original princess witches' would be the most right word to say."

I generally guessed.

"There is disaster in this world..."

"Oh, I know the story around there. You mean" The Princess Witch, "the first one to seal the Disaster Dragon? There are four Disaster Dragons, but which Disaster Dragon's 'Princess Witch' was it?

Block the storytelling 'story'.

"Mi, in water..."

Lily, who is in a good mood, answers me.

"Jin, isn't that a lot now?

"It's smoother to break the story you know, isn't it?

"Well, yes..."

'Cause it's a storyteller, isn't it?

Absolutely, I see one story a long time at a time, right?

Where you can fly, let's fly.

"By the way, I'd like to ask you a few questions, okay?

Ignore Scarlett's subtle expression and keep asking questions.

"... um, I don't mind"

"Then the first. Does Mr. Lily have any parents?

When they say 'The Original' or something, I'm worried about that genealogy.

"Oops. He appeared in the enclosed land of the Disaster Dragon. I similarly held the knowledge I spoke of from the beginning. But we don't know who they were given to."

He has no parents, he hasn't changed since he was born, and he has knowledge from the beginning.

Hmmm......

"From the content of knowledge, I have thought that it was created by a goddess. But some of the knowledge that I possess is inconvenient for the goddess. I don't think the goddess will create a disadvantage, so saying 'something comparable to the goddess' is a powerful candidate right now."

"I don't think a dirty guy would do that to his skills."

"That's right."

"Goddess is shady and sexually vicious" is already a common recognition.

I don't think a guy like that creates elements that disadvantage him.

"That's my second question. What happened to the other three 'original princess witches'?

"I'm going to kill myself before that. Whether you're immortal or not, you can't stand eternal solitude. The eagle decides to live as a storyteller and keeps his spirit stable by the world tree on this earth"

Scarlett's reference to 'stable survival' seemed to be primarily a spiritual story.

"To be exact, we lost in the junket, and I was supposed to live as a storyteller."

"You pushed each other..."

Apparently it was my first ear. Scarlett squeaks.

The "original princess witches" understood that they could not stand loneliness and would choose to die themselves sooner or later.

There's a reason I feel lonely even though there are four of them in the same position, and "The Original Princess Witch" was a knowledge- and memory-sharing being, he said.

Each of the four people seemed to have personality differences, but the perception of others was faint and loneliness could not be disputed.

And Lily and the others, who had arrived at the World Tree in various ways, left one person as a storyteller and died.

"I'm also involved with the current story, what is a world tree in the first place?

"World trees and labyrinths are naturally occurring irrelevant to the will of the goddess. Unlike the rest, it has the nature of not accepting Goddess interference."

"That's why you sent Rouge to the labyrinth."

Scarlett heard this story from Lily and seems to have decided to send Rouge to the labyrinth.

"Do you know about the labyrinth?

"Oh, you must be pretty familiar with that"

For once, I am a Labyrinth Ruler (Dungeon Master).

"Then it would be quicker to explain the difference with the labyrinth. Both put certain areas under control, but the conditions are very different. The labyrinth is more liberal, it can create spaces underground, or it can designate areas by joining boundaries on the ground."

Lily didn't tell me, but the labyrinth can also be built with boundaries at the bottom of the sea.

Certainly a lot of freedom.

"The realm of the opposing world tree is limited to 'In the woods around the world tree'."

"That's all I ask, the labyrinth seems better. What's the advantage of a world tree?

Lily nods and answers Scarlett's question.

"Naturally, there is. In the first place, the labyrinth and the world tree have different underlying roles"

"Well, if the roles are the same, there's no point in having two states."

"Bye. The Labyrinth and the World Tree have similar abilities, but their role is the opposite. Do you know the role of Lord Jin?

Lily asks me.

Unfortunately, I had an idea.

And I gained certainty with Lily's remarks now.

"We're on our way, right? The labyrinth basically goes underground, or downstairs. The world tree moves up due to growth. Like Lily said, the opposite is true."

"... you're right."

Lily shombolishes again.

No way, you didn't think you could guess.

Maybe he wanted to explain it with a Doya face.

"The original purpose of the labyrinth is to" distance ourselves from the goddess, "and the world tree is to" go to the goddess. "

"Oh, so you said you needed the power of a world tree to get to the 'realm of goddesses'"

Say as Scarlett was convinced.

"Um, you're right. Actually, the Realm of the Goddess is on the moon. So the world tree is growing towards the moon, or the top."

Oops, new important information is coming out again.

And there's one thing that bothers me.

"If you have the means to get to the moon, do you not need a world tree?

"No, I just went straight to the moon, and I can't reach the realm of the Goddess. The moon itself does not exist in this world. If I tell you, it's the entrance to the moon. And the world tree has the power to connect this world to the realm of the Goddess… to open the entrance."

If you just go to the moon, it's not that hard, but isn't it so good?

"I mean, the way to get to the realm of the Goddess is to grow the world tree and get it to the moon."

Finally, he conveyed the truth of the shock like a storyteller.

"I see, was that what you said?... So, what does it take to grow a world tree? I could barely ask nine years ago that being out of the goddess' will be the key?

"Um, there are two main things that the world tree needs to grow. A nourishing 'resource' and being out of the goddess' mind, 'an abnormal individual (irregular)'."

I like the sound of abnormal individuals (irregular).

"And this anomalous individual (Irregular) is the source of the power to connect this world to the realm of the Goddess."

"Tell me one. What does that abnormal individual (Irregular) have to do?

Raise your hand and ask Lily a question.

There are a number of anomalous individuals (irregular) that I know of, but their treatment is a problem.

"If they tell you to bury it as nutrients for a tree, or something like that, you're gonna have to reject it for boulders, right?

"What do you think the world tree is..."

'Pleasant object', I guess.

"Just touch the body of the world tree. The point is that the world tree takes in the factors of abnormal individuals (irregular). No detriment to abnormal individuals (irregular)"

"If that's all, it doesn't seem like a problem."

Let's hope the world tree doesn't eat what it touches like a bug plant.

And Scarlett raises her hand just like I do.

"It's a question from me, too. How many abnormal individuals (irregular) should I collect? What kind of guys do I gather?

"There are a number of conditions for unusual individuals (irregular) to collect. … or it's important to talk about abnormal individuals (irregular), but the most recent problem is with resources."

Lily with a very bumpy looking face.

"Consciousness went to abnormal individuals (irregular) and I was overheard, but what's that resource?

Scarlett didn't seem to know about the resources and asked Lily.

"Resources are like the nutrients needed to maintain and grow labyrinths and world trees. If a person is present in that area, they will have the resources that are appropriate to their strength."

"The way you put it, you can use less resources, right?

"Um, that's the problem.... Gosh's Azuma spent a lot of resources earlier to eliminate Lord Jin and the others. Because of this, the world tree is all it takes to maintain it, not very much, but can't afford to grow."

It sounds like Gosh called the guardians of the world tree and tried to get rid of us.

Calling the guardians of the world tree means consuming a large amount of resources with equals.

That, too, was called in a way that was not a regular procedure, so consumption is even higher.

"Are you serious..."

"Seriously... I ran out of resources saved in a flash."

It can also be said to the labyrinth that, in the case of mechanisms for creating boundaries and securing resources solely for the inhabitants within them, it is easy to say that they can't get around to saving, but that they are best maintained.

"The Secret Border of the Dragon Race (DragonNewt)" would be a good example of this. There were not enough resources, and a breakdown could be made in the junction, from which the dragon was entering.

I guess it's the right look in the labyrinth to create a system that brings people in, like the labyrinth in Estea, so that we can stably secure resources.

In addition to the small size of the junction, Mermaid Nation has made some savings, so residents alone can cover the maintenance of the junction.

"I was just telling you, resources save up if a strong guy is in there, right? Can't I?

"If Letty Boy converts, if Letty Boy stays in the mile for 1,000 years, he'll save it."

"Are you serious... Still, I was pretty confident in strength..."

"No, this isn't even breaking. Comparable to the savings we've had in just 1,000 years."

The problem is Scarlett won't live 1000 years, right?

"So, what about the Jins? Maybe you save more than I do, huh?

"That's why we don't have the resources from Lord Jin."

Lily with a strange neck.

You mean you don't have that much knowledge of the fine labyrinth?

"Jin, what did you do?

"I changed the destination of the resource. All our resources go to other labyrinths."

Lily holds her head.

"I'm going to say something outrageous, as a matter of course.... I beg your pardon, but could you divide the resources of Lord Jin and his family into world trees?

"You can split it when cooperation is finalized."

"... also the cooperation of Jin has become an essential thing"

Scarlett also holds her head.

There's nothing Scarlett can do about all this.

"If you're right, it's not stingy to cooperate. Let me know what you need on the assumption that the resource problem will be solved"

"Um, you got it. What is needed is the type and number of abnormal individuals (irregular). There are at least 10 different types. I'd like at least 100 people. Also, we need a factor of five for the skill owner."

"Don't just listen to me and you know I'm impotent...... Looks like it's worth it."

Scarlett is laughing bitterly, but I don't think the conditions are that strict.

"There are three main types of abnormal individuals (irregular): the first is the owner of the skill, the second is the race, and the third is the history of the visit. Let me explain each."

That's what Lily said, she got up and took the blackboard out of the corner of the room.

Storytelling, good preparation.

"First of all, the first skill. Included here are the Heroic Testimonials of the Brave and the Letty Boy. Basically, it's not a natural skill. There are other branches of the pedigree tree, but it's not an easy thing to find, so don't go into detail."

I've already found it...

"The second race. This refers to a new species that occurred as a result of the earlier mentioned branch of the pedigree tree. Dragon Race (Dragon Newt) or Mermaid...... yeah? It looks like a new kind of angel was born without my knowledge. It's still an easy category to find."

I've already found it...

Then how do you know about the angel (Angus) who was born the other day?

Could Lily's knowledge have an automatic update feature?

"The third history includes transworldly reincarnators like Lettuce Boy, transworldly transferees without blessings (gifts), and labyrinth managers."

Oh, we got 10 different things.

There are many Dragon Races (Dragon Newt), so I can handle them.

After that, you're the only one with the skills.

Beast Man (Maria), Human (Cynthia), Hobbit (Rico), and four brave Elves in the Elves.

Not enough more than 5 of the required people.

"Now, where should we start…. In the meantime, the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt), the Reborn, are in here at the moment, so there are six of them left."

So Scarlett shook her head sideways.

"That's not true. Jin doesn't have a blessing (gift). He's supposed to be a metastasizer. That leaves us with five. What should I do with the number of people?

"Uhm, if the number of people can go to The Secret Border of Dragon Race (Dragon Newt), we'll get it together soon."

"That's where you were saying. Is that going to be a gin favor too...... The problem is getting all five of them together. Maybe this is the hardest part? We have to collect the next three."

Scarlett and Lily move on.

"... no, later. Alone is good"

"What? You know where the two of them are? That's a boulder...... When that happens, are there 1 and 5 different and 100 abnormal individuals (irregular) left? If Jin's going to help, I'm going to have to decide on a role sharing."

Oh, you're mistaken.

I'm sorry, but I can't leave here. I can't help you. "

"I know. I'm not going to ask your grandmother to do that."

"No, so after that, you can be alone..."

A hatena mark floats on the heads of the two.

"If you're five or a hundred people, I can collect them right away. We can also collect three people, so we should put one in here and have four, one later."

……………………

Two flattering people.

"To be specific, I can collect all the specific examples of abnormal individuals (irregular) that Mr. Lilli was saying earlier. As far as numbers are concerned, this too, as Ms Lilli said, can call for more than 100 dragon races (Dragon Newt). There are three brave men: beasts, humans, and hobbits."

"Are you serious..."

"You're not just surprised today... It's going to be an unforgettable day..."

It's an honor to have you say that to the storyteller.

Will you tell me about me someday, too?

"Bye. Do you mind if I ask you about The Secret Border of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt), which you said you would hear later? Does being able to gather 100 people mean that most of them are out of the secret?

"Oh, I'm not listening, either. What's going on in Crore's hometown?

"When I say home, I don't remember..."

Mr. Crore, it's been a long time since I've spoken.

"I don't mind answering, but before you do, could you tell me about Mr. Lily's relationship with The Secret of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt)?

Actually, I was quite concerned.

In "The Secret of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt)," there is a topic of "The Secret of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt)" in the elf, even though there was no topic in the elf. What kind of relationship?

"The Washi had an interaction with the ancestors of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt) who created The Secret Border of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt). The Dragon Race (DragonNewt) originated in Dragon Race (DragonNewt) No. 1."

Did you interact with the ancestors of Dora and the others?

Maybe it was too long ago and there was no information left about Lily.

Dragon Race (Dragon Newt), it looked like a race that didn't understand the importance of information...

"A long time ago the man visited the land and interacted with the eagle. I've heard so much about my struggles as a new race...... I've given you a lot of knowledge. And he later created the Labyrinth, The Secret of the Dragon Race."

"Hey! Is' The Secret Border of Dragon Race (DragonNewt) 'a Labyrinth?!?

Scarlett raises her voice.

Although the information on the Dragon Race (DragonNewt) is somewhat extensive, there is no way Scarlett knows about it, as the information about The Secret Border of the Dragon Race (DragonNewt) is completely secret.

"Um, it's a labyrinth. To protect the dragon race (Dragonut), an abnormal individual (Irregular), use a labyrinth out of the Goddess's intentions. How sarcastic is that?

And that can be said in the Estea Labyrinth or 'Mermaid Country'.

"If Jin couldn't call, that's where you could find the abnormal individuals (Irregular) in the labyrinth relationship. It would have been easier to break through the Estea Labyrinth..."

"I don't think so. We can't even get in without Dragon Race (Dragon Newt), and Lord Jin says that even Dragon Race (Dragon Newt) can't get in now."

"So, what's going on?

So, here comes the story for me.

"Simply put, a Dragon Race (DragonNewt) emerged that defied the 'Secret Border of the Dragon Race (DragonNewt)'. I have trouble getting in and out on my own with the existing methods, so no one can get in and out."

"I guess that's unavoidable..."

"Then Croa can go back to her hometown... Wait, so which of Jin's nearly 100 dragon races (Dragon Newt) fall under the current story?

Scarlett hears me noticing the discomfort in my story.

"That still depends on the 100 + Dragon Races (DragonNewt) that remain in The Secret Border of the Dragon Race (DragonNewt), right? It's the labyrinth I ruled. There's no reason to bring him from there."

Don't tell me you still control the Estea Labyrinth.

In the meantime, I'm going to reveal that I'm the Labyrinth Ruler (Dungeon Master) of The Secret of the Dragon Race (Dragon Newt).

"Are you serious..."

"I see some questions have been resolved. That's why the guardian moved."

Oh, I'm sorry. That's not just about labyrinth rulers (dungeon masters).

There are plenty of other conditions that I can catch...

"I mean, Jin can get Crore back to his hometown, right?

"If you can or can't, you can, but you're not going to let me come and go untamed."

"Dragon Gate" has ceased to function, so it is fundamental to use "Portal" or "Summon" to come and go.

I'm not going to tell you how much Scarlett is because it's a part of an alien power.

"Ha... In the meantime, would it be better if we just found out about Crore's hometown?"

Scarlett, who decides that persuasion is pointless, says in a sigh.

"I don't care that much..."

Crore himself doesn't seem that obsessed.

"Tell me when you get your memory back. Ask Jin, but I'll get you back."

"Yes, then please"

If it's just one way, you can open the Dragon Gate for him.

However, I can't let you come and go.

"I know you're safe at the border, and I'm not sure you're safe for now."

Let's right Lily's mistake.

"By the way, Claire's decision to go outside the 'Dragon Gate' is a wounded result of her battle with the intruding dragon from the breakdown of the junction. I'm guessing it's just a matter of time before it's transferred."

"Was that the wound then... Memories are the effect of that."

"You weren't so safe..."

"If I hadn't ruled the labyrinth, I'd think it wouldn't have died far away, would it?

It wasn't a joke or a big deal, it would have been destroyed by an intruding dragon.

We talked about the pace of breaking and entering.

"You're fine now, aren't you?

"Naturally. We've trained the dragon races inside to provide a steady supply of resources, so they won't perish so easily."

"... should I work out more, too, the elves inside"

Decide that in the elves.

Now, have you largely finished what I have to say?

"Is there anything else you'd like to hear about Dragon Race?

"No, you don't."

"Neither do I."

When I asked, they both shook their heads beside each other.

"Jin, is it time for you to tell me whether or not to cooperate? I think Lily's grandmother has almost everything she needs to know."

"Right. It would be helpful if you decided quickly that Lord Jin's cooperation was essential."

Sure, there won't be any more information.

And if that's what you've heard so far, working together doesn't seem like a problem.

"Okay. cooperation to go to the realm of the Goddess, let me"

"Okay!

Scarlett, full of guts pose.

"Now you're one step closer to finally beating the goddess"

"The growth of the world tree is a good thing for me, too. It's also hard to get rid of the lack of resources"

Scarlett is happy too, but Lily is more relieved than that.

Apparently, the problem of lack of resources in the world tree was pretty nasty.

"Well, let's talk about remaining brave searches."

I will do everything in my power beyond deciding to cooperate.

"Lord Jin can gather beasts, humans, and Hobbit braves, right?

"Oh, yeah. Surely there's one brave man in here, isn't there?

"Um, there's an elf brave man. Therefore, the race of the brave men to look for is nothing else. It's the dwarves and ghosts who have a large population."

After all, other human species (species classified as humans), such as Dwarves and ghosts, also seem to have possessions.

"The problem isn't that there aren't always people with skills. If you do it badly, there's a chance there won't be others in this world."

Skills are parasitic... they are inherited, but there are times when skills do not exist.

There's no legality in that period, and it's not unlikely that we won't have all five in one era.

Cynthia was born after the death of Vermillion and possessed skills.

At this time, the period of non-existence of skills was very short, but this was a very rare case.

"To some extent, I guess I have to sit back and work on it"

"Right. There's nothing you can do about it."

"No, I don't think you have to worry about that."

Did the two of you forget that I said, "We'll work together"?

"There's no way I'm gonna cooperate without one more, is there?

By total coincidence, I set the conditions for going to the realm of the Goddess to the point where I would say one later.

There would be no reason for the last one to end up in a state of 'never filling'.

"You're saying something amazing..."

"Well, normally, you can't say that with confidence."

Luckily, I'm Jin Tang Jen, a man of my own.

"Give me a month. Let me look in the meantime."

I don't think it exists any more than I look (this is the most important part).

Then we should have a pretty good chance (laughs) of finding it.

In the worst case scenario, we shall also keep in view the total mobilization of the subordination and the search for it in Operation Roller.
