Chapter 205

Episode 205 Demonic Sword vs. Divine Sword (2)

“What are you...”

High elf Sylvia trembled as if in a daze. I couldn’t believe that Elaine’s seed, which I couldn’t find anywhere, was in a human I had never seen before.

Cha ja ja jang!

The humans and dwarves surrounding the castle wall surrounded Baek Woo-jin and aimed their weapons. The costume was unique, and the person I saw for the first time gave off an unknown light.

“Ah...”

“That energy!”

However, the elves who felt the energy of the World Tree were completely frozen and could not move. I looked at Baek Woo-jin with trembling eyes.

“Everyone, step back. He is not the enemy.”

At Sylvia’s gesture, the humans and dwarves surrounding Baek Woo-jin took two steps back. But he did not lower his weapon.

“Can we talk?”

“Silvia! It’s not possible! No matter how much energy he has....”

“This person is okay.”

Sylvia waved her hand at the guardian elf holding the palace.

“I’m not an imperial and I’m not affected by witchcraft.”

Sylvia did not look at the seed, but into Baek Woo-jin’s eyes. Ambition and agreement swirled in his clear eyes. These were eyes that a wicked person could not have.

“Luca, please take charge of this place.”

“Um, but...”

“Please do me a favor. Come over here.”

Silvia entrusted the guard of the castle wall to Luca, her guardian elf, and took Baek Woo-jin to her room on the other side.

The room, probably used as a conference room, was littered with maps and materials.

“nice to see you. “I am Sylvia Arishion, the twentieth branch of the Chirin Tree Clan.”

“My name is Baek Woo-jin from Shingeombaekga.”

In response to the high elf’s polite introduction, Baek Woo-jin also introduced himself using the name of Shingeombaekga.

-If you are a member of the Chirin Tree clan, you are a high elf of abundance.

‘I thought so.’

Since I had Elaine’s twig and met her here, I was convinced that she was a high elf of abundance.

-High elves of abundance have the ability to distinguish between truth and lies. You’d better not lie. If it’s unfavorable, it’s better not to bring it up.

‘That’s important information.’

Baek Woo-jin nodded slightly and made eye contact with Sylvia.

“This is the first family I’ve heard of.”

“You will. “I’m not from here.”

“yes? “What is that...”

“That’s exactly what it says. “I am not a human from this continent.”

Baek Woo-jin revealed the truth. It was said that the High Elves of Abundance could detect lies, so it was better to gain trust by telling the truth.

“Well, not long ago, this bracelet glowed and radiated the energy of the World Tree. Was it because of you?”

“I don’t know exactly, but I think so.”

“What on earth happened? “Where on earth did that seed come from...”

“It’s not difficult to tell, but before I tell you my story, could you tell me the situation here?”

“Hmm...”

Sylvia nodded. There was not the slightest hint of falsehood in his words and actions. It was true that they were not humans from this continent.

Moreover, despite his youthful appearance, his words contained a weight that was difficult to reject. This was my first time seeing a person like this.

“all right. It’s not a secret anyway. “It started with a war started by the Charon Empire, which rules the west.”

When Sylvia raised her hand, flags representing continents and countries were drawn in the air like holograms.

“This black flag at the western end is the Charon Empire. They formed an alliance with the Dark Elves and quickly ate up the surrounding countries.”

“Couldn’t other countries stop it?”

“The empire is a very closed country and has not moved for over 100 years. “The peace was long and there were no signs of war, so nearby countries were helpless.”

-The empire hasn’t started a war in over 100 years? And an alliance with the dark elves? They’re definitely not like that, are they?

Darkness flicked its blade and muttered that something could never happen.

“Belatedly, the central countries united, but they could not stop the empire’s powerful army and the dark elves.”

“Dark ghost?”

“Do you by any chance know what this is?”

When Sylvia raised her left hand, a dark elf appeared in the air. However, it was not a real one, but a fake dark elf seen from the front.

“I’ve seen it before.”

“Then the story will be quick. We call these monsters black demons. “They were originally ordinary people with no abilities.”

“An ordinary person with no abilities?”

“yes. “When an ordinary human who cannot even use mana is cursed and becomes a dark ghost, he or she gains abilities that can never be compared to before.”

Sylvia told me that the empire curses not only its own citizens but also people from other countries to become dark spirits.

Sylvia, who was looking at Baek Woo-jin, put her hands together and lowered her head.

“Give us those seeds! “If we have that seed, we can make the World Tree bloom and protect everyone!”

“If I give you this, where will you smoke it?”

“yes?”

“We’re not going to plant the World Tree in this castle.”

“That Rhine Forest is the forest where the White Tree Clan lived. “You can make the World Tree bloom there.”

“I told you there was a guy over there who was the owner of that divine sword. “What are you going to do about him?”

“That...”

Sylvia was unable to make a rational judgment when she saw the seeds of the World Tree.

‘If we continue like this, we will be annihilated.’

In Baek Woo-jin’s opinion, if you go to that forest with all your strength, you will all die. There were other people in there besides the owner of the divine sword.

“Aren’t the eye colors of those being manipulated by the empire reversed?”

“yes? “Oh, that’s right.”

“Do you know what this is?”

Baek Woo-jin took out Sephilia’s necklace and placed it on the table.

“Huh! “Why are you doing this?”

Sylvia was so shocked that she fell off her chair. My teeth chattered and I grabbed the necklace.

“Where is this child now? Please let me know!”

“Let me tell you my story briefly. “Me and my colleagues...”

Baek Woo-jin briefly told us about what happened on the front lines. Sylvia shed tears several times while listening to Baek Woo-jin’s story.

“Whoa...”

After barely calming down, Sylvia bowed her head to Baek Woo-jin and knelt down.

“I’m really sorry. “I don’t know what to say to you that your world has been damaged because of us.”

“You don’t have to do this.”

Baek Woo-jin said there was no need for you to be sorry and helped Silvia up.

“I didn’t even have the right to ask for seeds. I’m really sorry.”

When Sylvia lowered her head again, a message appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin.

Ding!

[Emergency quest has arrived.]

< Blooming new hope. >

The Marutun continent is connected to your world. Please plant a new world tree on this land and sprout hope that can have a positive impact on both worlds.

Condition: Defeat the owner of the divine sword and make the World Tree bloom in the Rhine Forest.

Time limit: 1 month (If the time limit is exceeded, you will automatically return to your world and the quest will fail.)

Benefits of accepting the quest: Spirit energy and attribute sensitivity increase during the quest period.

Reward: 3500 points new spirit.

Baek Woo-jin looked at the quest and nodded.

As expected, the reason the system called him was to plant a new world tree on this land so that it would have a positive effect on both worlds.

“I can’t give you seeds right now.”

“That’s right. Of course it is.”

Sylvia nodded. They thought there was no way they would give it to them because they had suffered so much damage in the other world because of their mistake.

“Then take this.”

Sylvia took off the bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Baek Woo-jin without hesitation.

“If you have spirit energy, you will definitely be able to make the World Tree bloom. Plant a world tree in your world.”

“Huh...”

Baek Woo-jin burst out laughing. He never thought that Sylvia would give him the World Tree bracelet.

-Elves hate causing harm to others to the point of death. But even so, I didn’t know that he would hand over Elaine’s tree branch.

“It’s a useless item if you only have one. “Take it.”

“no.”

Baek Woo-jin took the bracelet and put it back on Sylvia’s wrist. Her eyes turned round like a rabbit.

“Why...”

“I said not now. That means I will give it to you later.”

“ah!”

“Besides, our world originally didn’t have a world tree or anything like that. “If you want to plant, plant it here.”

According to the quest, the World Tree had to be planted on this land in order for it to be effective for both worlds. It was absolutely right to plant it here.

“And...”

Baek Woo-jin smiled coolly as he looked at the white sparkling forest.

“I think I need to look into whether he is the owner of the divine sword or not.”

I couldn’t just leave the scum who went on a quest and used the living as bait to increase his power.
