206 Episode 206 The Elf and the Dwarf (1/2)

”Isn't this a world tree!?”

I raised my voice of dismay when I learned that the spirit tree worshipped by the elves was the world tree.

”Eh!? The world tree is the legend of that!?”

”Mother of all the trees told in myth!?”

Everyone realizes in my words that this tree is a world tree and shows a surprising face. [M]

Of course. Because the world tree is also known as the world's largest weed!

Indeed, the myth was that it was the first tree in the world that God had planted, and the various materials from that tree could be processed into many quality materials... but apart from that, it was also famous as an extremely troublesome tree.

It gets very big when I grow up first.

It grows by pushing everything around it, so creating towns and facilities near the world's trees can be catastrophic, and in some cases cause catastrophes such as weir blocks and mountain collapses in neighboring rivers.

It's even bigger, so when the world trees are in the neighborhood, the town gets shaded and the laundry doesn't dry at all.

After that, the trouble caused by the world trees, such as the monster on the leaves of the world tree that was stirred by strong winds fell and the ground became noisy, continued, so if the sprouts and young trees of the world trees were found, they would be quickly felled or planted, and the place would be moved.

Because elves that are in harmony with nature are so huge that they had to deal with the world's trees as well.

It's that giant. The nutrients I needed to grow up were incredible, and given the growth of the other trees, I couldn't leave it to grow to infinity.

What the hell is it about protecting the world's trees, which is synonymous with such nuisance plants!?

”I didn't expect Lex to know about the world tree...!?”

But somehow Mr. Sharaza was surprised that I knew about the world tree.

”No way, nothing is obvious!”

It's the world's largest weed anyway.You can always see it anywhere, because it was famous as the weed where little kids first remember their names.

”No, that can't be right.This is the last tree left in the world, isn't it?I can tell just by looking at it. ”

”Eh? Last!?”

This world tree is the last tree in the world!? That world tree is said to grow indefinitely even if left alone!?

Hmm? What?... but if I look back, I don't remember seeing the trees of the world since I was born in this world...

I never cared if it existed because it existed too naturally.

Nevertheless, it is impossible to say that the world tree has disappeared except for this one.

What the hell happened!?

”Hmm, that's right. This world tree is the last in the world.And the fruit that this tree has finally produced is being targeted by the monsters. ”

”That's enough. It's no wonder the monster is after the fruit of that legendary world tree.”

”That's right. If the legendary tree has borne fruit, it must be very powerful.It's the first tree created by the gods. ”

When I looked back at the memories of the past, everyone was so convinced. [M]

No, no, the world tree is certainly a nasty tree that tries to absorb the nutrients from its surroundings, so it's actually well nourished, but it's still not so legendary!?

Nevertheless, if no one saw the world tree in this era, would it be unusual?

Ah, but perhaps the ancients were disgusted by the growth of the world's trees and scattered things like a world tree killer without herbicides.

That's why there aren't any world trees around here.

The world tree is the world's largest weed.I don't think it will disappear from the world no matter how much anti-world tree agent I used.Like this tree.

So only people around here don't have a world tree, and if you look at the world, there will be countries that have a world tree.

And I'm sure the world trees are growing in trouble in that country again.

Anyway, if you think so, it's convincing that everyone doesn't know the world tree.

It makes sense to get rid of vermin and have more children who don't know the danger of vermin.

I don't suppose we all need to tell the trouble of the world tree because we've exterminated the world tree.

Nevertheless, the request we received this time was not to manage the world trees.

It's only about killing monsters that are after the fruits of the world tree.

Adventurers don't do anything extra.It's just a professional who accomplishes what you've been asked to do.

If the world trees grow too much and are in trouble, the elves will be in charge.

Ah, is it possible that the monster that is targeting the fruits of the world tree is a monster brought in by someone to exterminate the world tree?

And perhaps the descendants of that monster, wild by the disappearance of the world tree, came together to find this tree.

Hmm, maybe I'm not mistaken by surprise.

”What's the matter, Mr. Lex?”

And when I thought about it, I wondered what happened to Riella.

”No, I was just thinking about the world tree.How can I protect myself from monsters? ”

Yeah, we can't help thinking about the origin of the monster.

Focus on your work.

Now let me introduce you to the chiefs.Follow me. ”

”” ”” Yes ”” ””

Cucu!

Mr. Sharaza leads us to the elders of our village.

”This way.”

Huh?

Sharaza did not point to a fortress that covered the world trees, but to a path that stretched upwards from the roots of the world trees.

”Does this carve the trunk of the tree and make the way?”

The roads use the wrinkles of the trunks of the world trees, and the wrinkle-free parts are shaped like half-tunnels to create passages.

”Heh, it's funny how to build a corridor like this.”

As he climbed up the paths of the world trees while enjoying the unusual path of the trees, an amazing sight spread out on the branches.

”This is... town!?”

Yes, there was a huge town spread out over the branches of the world tree.

And the top of the branches were cut, and a flat road was made, and there were houses lined up on top of them.

Su, wow!

”Wow, the house is built.....”

You can see the artificial shadow on the upper branch.

Besides, the house is not just on the branch.There is also a house where the trunk is dug and the door is locked.

”I can't believe I'm building a town on a world tree....”

This surprised me. I can't believe we're building a town on that world tree.

But is this it...?

The area around the world tree is a situation where buildings cannot be built in a detour due to the growing world tree.

Given that, it may be a surprisingly good idea to create a town on the world tree itself, which will not be damaged by the world tree.

”There were some people who thought it was amazing.”

That's exactly how you take off your hat for this idea.

The elders are in the main conference hall.

Sharaza pointed to a room where the trunk was dug halfway around the main road, no, a conference room.

”Surprise. I thought you were up there because you said you were the elder.”

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

I didn't know you were in the lower reaches, not so far from the ground.

”In this spiritual tree village, the lower hierarchy, which became too stiff to be processed again, is a good location.Therefore, the elders are in the lower classes, and the upper classes, which are easy to process, are inhabited by young people. ”

Wow, that's funny.

Huh? The world trees are too strong to be processed?

It looks like another strange remark flew...

I was going to ask you about the question, but before that, Mr. Sharaza opened the door and went inside.

”Elder, Sharaza is back. With the mighty warriors of the tribe.”

When we got in late, there were many old people sitting behind Mr. Sharaza in a chair carved into a world tree on the other side of the room.

I see, those are the elders.

Because the room is dim, the expression is hard to understand.

”You're back, Sharaza. So where are the warriors of the tribe?”
