Chapter 513
“yes. If you give up your body, you can go, but….”
It means death.
In other words, excluding the Spirit King, this means that once born, one must die to go to the spirit world.
Lee Ha almost laughed for a moment when he explained that there was only one in the dragon palace’s treasure trove, but he barely held it in.
‘what is this? ‘The jackpot hit in an unexpected place!’
I had no idea what exactly it meant to go to the spirit world, what to do, or how to do it, but I was certain that its rarity alone was a big deal.
“All right. thank you.”
“hmm. “I feel like my accomplishments are getting better and better, and on the other hand, I’m jealous.”
“yes?”
“You can tell just by looking at Jelapong’s condition.”
When Drake held out his hand, Gelapong, who had been transformed into a vest, squirmed and stretched out another arm.
[Mmmmmmmmm!]
Jelapong’s arm wraps around Drake’s arm, making a sound like a happy laugh.
Drake smiled like a father looking at his son. Drake was able to measure Gelapong’s ‘strength’ from the beginning.
Since Gelapong’s strength is linked to Leeha’s strength, it was possible to guess Leeha’s state just by looking at Gelapong’s state.
“I guess life in the Dragon Palace is boring?”
“boring? No, not really. But…”
Lee Ha was able to examine Drake’s mind. Certainly, compared to life in Kraven Kingdom, it would inevitably be somewhat dull.
“I hope we can meet out of the water again someday.”
“I’m looking forward to that day too. Ah, but if you want to bring Shore and the Koi Paleo friends back—”
“Father will take care of that, so don’t worry. If you use the ‘spirit world’ just now, it will be easy.”
“Um, um. All right. I’ll have to keep it a secret from Mr. Blaugrun. Hehe, then Drake. see you next time.”
“Good luck.”
Leeha nodded and activated the crystal ball.
Drake was looking at him with eyes that seemed to say, ‘Can I come with you?’
‘It’s a Drake that came out of the water… So does it mean it will become part of the Kraven Kingdom again?’
If that’s the case, won’t we be treated as an [enemy] again in terms of national relations?
I thought that was just an envoy.
And at that moment, Leeha, Blaugrun, and Zelapong had arrived at Bahamut’s Lair.
* * *
[Myo – Mummun?!]
“Achacha, it’s not water anymore – Mr. Blaugrun! wake up!”
“Hmm… I want to sleep more…”
As soon as we moved to Bahamut’s lair, Gelapong let out a confused sound.
It was possible to hang Blaugrun(?) in the water, but on land, gravity acts as it is.
Of course, there would not be much difficulty for Gelapong, who was carrying several pieces of material for the mana relay tower without hesitation, but it seemed difficult to maintain balance due to the living creature’s hesitation.
“Hmm…?”
And Bahamut was looking at the three creatures that suddenly appeared in his lair and were struggling with a pitiful expression.
He immediately assessed Blaugrun’s condition and infused some of his mana into it.
“Ro, Rod. There is no shame. I, a Juvna-class person, am so defenseless-”
“Laughs, aren’t you a child anyway? “Heart is closer to an adult, but he’s not an adult yet, so don’t overdo it.”
After a while, Blaugrun woke up, his ears were bright red, and he bent his upper body so that his waist was bent.
Even if Bahamut was okay, Blaugrun didn’t wake up.
Bahamut sighed and looked down at the stubborn Bronze Dragon.
“I came here like this…”
“Of course I saved you. The essence of the world was legitimately extracted with permission from the Sea God—no, Elaim, the Spirit King of Water.”
I also heard your old story! At the same time as saying the meaning, Lee Ha presented the essence of the world.
Bahamut looked surprised as he saw the fist-sized bead emitting light on its own.
“Did Elaim really give this away? The guy who threatened me with Silphid and Noah…”
“Phew, that wasn’t normal. “The only way I can express it is that I was really lucky.”
As Blaugrun said, saving underwater life was not something that could be solved in three days.
Nevertheless, Lee Ha did it.
This is because the actions of stubbornly wandering around the New World in search of Paleo people to increase intimacy were not just for achievements, but the knowledge, information, and personal connections accumulated one by one were formed as assets.
“Right. But it couldn’t have been luck or coincidence.”
It was just as Bahamut said.
Lee Ha realized once again that each step he took would one day lead in a helpful direction.
“We have now passed a critical point.”
I barely suppressed the urge to argue with Bahamut’s words. This was also because a holographic window was created in front of Leeha’s eyes.
[The Light and Darkness of Radical Growth]
quest has been completed.
Your level has risen.
[The Light and Darkness of Radical Growth – 2]
Description: “We’ll hear about how I persuaded Elaim later. I want to use it too. Hehe, I guess we can say we’ve made 50% of it now. There is only one thing left: the fruit of the World Tree, to be placed together with the essence of the world. Get it. Let me tell you in advance, there is no World Tree on the current continent. Everything has been contaminated. Since I can’t search with my mana, there’s no need to go to the trouble of walking around. However, [World Essence] becomes cloudy after a certain period of time, so you will need to obtain it as quickly as possible.”
The growth promoter is made from a combination of world essence and the fruit of the world tree!
‘World Tree’ does not mean a single tree. It is just one word to refer to a species of tree that grows while consuming plenty of energy from the earth. ‘Water’ of flow and ‘land’ of stationary. Radical growth can be achieved when two types of energy are combined at the same time…
Contents: Obtain the material item ‘World Tree Fruit’ within 150 days and deliver it to Bahamut
Reward: Used item [Growth Accelerator]
Failure condition: Time exceeded If the attempt
fails:
Do you accept the disappearance of the material item ‘Essence of the World’?
‘Damn… I thought it was a linked quest since it was hidden.’
I knew there would definitely be something difficult.
However, the difficulty of this quest was actually difficult to guess.
“You’re sure there isn’t one in the Old Continent of Lope?”
“yes.”
“Hmm, but why didn’t you tell me earlier that the World Essence is a time-limited item?”
“Because I didn’t know you would come save me.”
“….”
I never thought I would say it so confidently!
What if I told you there was a time limit now? I wanted to argue with him, but I couldn’t say anything.
‘I guess I should say I’m glad that the reward has been clearly revealed.’
150 days in Middle Earth time. Exactly one month in real time.
Within this, we must scour the ‘New World’ to find the World Tree and gather its fruit.
Many realistically possible methods came to mind below.
Anyway, it is impossible to know whether the quest will be cleared right now. Because adventure is a gamble without certainty.
“All right. Let’s get it. What is the world tree? “It’s a big tree, right?!”
“Yes, yes, you know, right?”
“yes. “If it’s a polluted world tree, I know because I’ve dealt with it.”
A tree I once discovered along with Jing Geng Geng in an unexplored area of the Old Continent.
A vicious monster(?) that controlled the surrounding monsters by charming them with its scent. That was the ‘polluted world tree’.
‘At least there are a lot of hints.’
I know what the World Tree looks like. He also knows the abilities of the World Tree.
What if you know what and how to watch out for? All you have to do is find it. And if simply ‘finding’ is the problem, there are ways to drastically reduce time.
“I’ll be back.”
“150 days.”
“I know. Mr. Blaugrun is here for a moment! “I’ll go and summon you!”
“You can keep up without that. Just because I showed weakness for a moment doesn’t mean they’ll ignore me like that-”
“Noisy! Gogo!”
The following immediately activated the crystal ball.
Of course, even in that short period of time, I did not forget to use my time efficiently.
―Mr. Fernand! Are you having a good time exploring the New Continent?!
World tree?
This man may have already found it.
Shuwaaa──────!
Leeha, Blaugrun, and Gelapong’s bodies disappeared.
Bahamut was smiling as he looked back and forth between the place where Lee Ha had disappeared and the ‘essence of the world’.
“Now that we have obtained the essence of the world, if we can also obtain the fruit of the world tree… Elaim said he roasted and boiled it somehow, but I am worried that Noah will just sit back and watch. “If you ask me why I didn’t tell you about this, what should I say? Hehehe~ I don’t know if I need to call a meeting for the first time in a long time.”
If Leeha had seen his grandfather’s eccentric smile, he probably wouldn’t have accepted the quest.
* * *
“Hurry up for a dealer who wants to go to a hunting ground anywhere in Redwood~ Use level 240~”
“Is there a pot where you can go to the Rhinodilo habitat? “Play as a level 266 tank!”
“Weaving – let’s go spider hunting! “Healer welcome, buffer welcome!”
Even the hustle and bustle around couldn’t break Leeha’s concentration.
I whispered to Fernand with pleasure, but the response I got back was not very pleasant.
―Ugh, that annoying monster? I never saw one during my exploration of the New World… Ah! It’s not the World Tree, but I saw a tree that looked similar to it.
―Are you sure it’s not the World Tree?
―Hmm, I shouldn’t say this, but I’m sure I’ve seen 100 more polluted trees around the world than Leeha. The shape was definitely different… but the towering figure compared to the surroundings was similar.
‘If Mr. Fernand says no, it really means no. I’m sure the number of polluted world trees discovered while pioneering the unexplored areas of the Old Continent of Lope is more than 100.’
In that case, it must be said that the World Tree has not yet been discovered here in the New World. And if Fernand didn’t see it, it’s likely that no other user would have seen it either.
‘What to believe is that it is a ‘similar tree’….’
There is a possibility that there is a difference in the shape of the polluted World Tree and the unpolluted World Tree. That was all Leeha could think about.
Otherwise, you have to find it from the beginning, as if you were heading straight to the ground.
‘But that’s not easy either.’
There was another reason why Fernand could not confirm it accurately. It’s not just because the distance is far.
A large tree that looks similar to the polluted World Tree?
Isn’t it enough to stimulate the curiosity of adventurers? But why didn’t Fernand go there?
“Ugh! It’s one of the sources of demons! And it’s so far away that no one has been able to organize it!”
According to Fernand’s guess, that was one of the sources of demons.
When confirming the source of a demon given as a [Common Quest], the number will only increase if you completely eliminate the monsters at the source.
In other words, it is not yet clear whether that is the source or not.
However, looking at the number and strength of the monsters swarming around, Fernand was confident that it was definitely one of the seven sources.
“Let’s take people here…”
Lee Ha looked around.
This is not a paleo village.
A village of humans that was hastily built by overthrowing Chiyo’s plan and covering it with Lotzak’s plan.
Although a fairly large area was secured near the Mana Relay Tower, it was too small for officials from each country to be involved as Rotzak had thought.
Although it is a small town, only about 1/4 of the size of City Gaza, high-ranking officials from Puviel, Minnis, Kraven, and Shazzrasian are all dispatched there.
‘It’s small in size, but it’s definitely a land with great investment value.’ It is the first human village to be built in the New Continent. Moreover, because it is based on the warp gate…’
