Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Chapter 25 – A New Paradise (5)

Chapter 25 – A New Paradise (5)

“Please trust us. You will return safely.”

“I believe. You have to believe it.”

The day has finally come. Leon, who had prepared diligently for several days, stood in front of the World Tree with his belongings.

Serenian saw him off with a worried face. He knew that Leon’s mission was essential after all, but he was sure to be dangerous because his corrupt compatriots would try to catch him.

Besides, if Leon was caught, that would be a problem. If it is known that this place known as the place of exile is a place dreaming of a new paradise, enemies will surely try to invade it.

‘I can’t help it. Other than being successful and reassuring.’

Even though Leon was still young, he knew the heart of the young chief who was going through all sorts of hardships. But right now, I know that no matter how much I talk and comfort me in words, it won’t help, so I just have to prove it as a result.

“Time of the world. Please open the door again. So that he can bring our people.”

Serenian moved the power of the World Tree and opened the tightly closed rift. Then, without hesitation, Leon flung his body through the gap in the space that split.

‘It won’t be difficult.’

Leon’s eyes, filled with miasma, flashed. Because this wasn’t simply a mission for the community.

It was to lay the foundation for his revenge on his enemies. Growing his strength like that and one day taking revenge on them as Serenian said was what he longed for.

“After.”

At some point, he was in a completely different place.

Compared to the forest that Serenian cultivated with the young World Tree, it is a very dark and magnificent forest that is as old as that time.

A gap in the small stone wall right next to a large, deafening waterfall. It was the entrance to Eden that Leon entered and came out of.

‘I’m going to the village.’

Leon took a deep breath and began to move quickly.

I have already made plans. He knew very well that the first drink would not satisfy him, so at first he intended to persuade and take those who, like himself, suffered and suffered and hated their enemies.

“…I can’t believe it.”

But when Leon arrived near the village. He couldn’t believe his eyes and froze.

It was because the elven village in the middle of the dense forest had completely changed. All the trees had disappeared from a large area of land, and crops were growing in the bare soil.

And even the look of the residents who are working hard in the field.

It was a very foreign and shocking sight. It was because the Great Forest Elves of the bountiful Great Forest governed by the World Tree were able to make a living without farming.

‘Empty.’

Just in time, Leon noticed a male elf approaching the forest where he was hiding and fell asleep. Recognizing him, Leon saw him holding an ax in his hand and noticed that he was coming here to cut down trees.

“Bin. I am Leon.”

“Huh? Huh?!”

The moment he trudged along, put down his luggage and picked up an axe. Leon sneaked up and spoke to him.

Bin, who looked back with wide eyes, staggered in fright at the sight of Leon, and then crashed into a tree behind him.

“Leon, Leon! How!”

“Calm down. A lot happened.”

His voice as well as his eyes trembled violently, as if he must have been taken aback. Leon had spent over five minutes trying to calm him down.

“Mo, everyone said you were dead. You, who went mad after robbing her wife like that, went to the center and killed one of the bastards? They said they ransacked the village.”

“That is…sorry.”

“It doesn’t matter. Because it was cool inside. Anyway, seeing him alive like this, he seems to have escaped well.”

He barely calmed down and smiled bitterly as he looked Leon up and down. But the moment he glanced up and down Leon, his eyes shook slightly. The object Leon was holding and the clothes he was wearing. Because everyone is different somewhere.

“You ran away. It’s not wrong, but it’s not completely right. Let me tell you first. What the hell happened to the town?”

“Cow, to be honest, I need money. Everyone in town is crazy about it. That is why we decided to grow and sell crops and started clearing the land near the village.”

“Do, money?”

Leon couldn’t understand Bean’s answer and stuttered his words. The word money is very unfamiliar to elves. It was all the more so that he coveted it because he needed it.

“The culture of humans scattered by traitors contaminates us.”

Bin, who sighed, spat out painfully with a distorted face. It wasn’t just resentment or anger, it was a self-deprecating sigh.

“You started collecting taxes? The council of elders?”

“It would be better if I simply walked away.”

The Council of Elders, a group representing the Great Forest Elves, serves the World Tree and serves as the focal point for collecting the opinions of the tribes when there is a major event. However, they were merely a representative body rather than a governing body.

The Great Forest Elves have always lived separately in villages, only coming together in times of great danger, such as an external threat.

However, after the Revolution, the Council of Elders turned into a full-fledged governing body that began to wield great power.

“I didn’t know what kind of harm it would do, so they forced me to pay taxes, so they started giving me something in return. Most people didn’t know what it was, but one thing was certain. That they are human objects.”

Bean rummaged through his arms and pulled out a small wooden bottle. What was taken out of it was very small white powder. He openly encouraged Leon to taste it.

“It is salty. Too.”

“It is salt. Something very stimulating and different for us.”

Leon frowned at the intense salty taste that touched the tip of his tongue, and his tongue twitched. It was definitely a strong taste for the elves.

“Traitors they’ve been through know all too well. What are we weak at and what are we bound to fall for? At first, I wondered why I would eat something like this, but after trying it once out of curiosity, I fell into a trap. I can’t get out.”

“I needed money to buy these things, and to earn that money, I was going to farm the land.”

Leon’s face hardened. He thought it was simply persecution and suffering, but it was because he realized that it was not.

If you convince them that there is a paradise, a new land that the enemies will not notice, then the already contaminated people will not come over.

If you go to Eden, you will no longer be able to buy or receive the things the enemies scatter. Already, the outside influence on the entire Great Grove Elf clan was strong and enormous.

“Now, where are you going!? The Chief is worried…”

“I will be back soon. Until then, I want you to keep today’s meeting a secret.”

After making a quick decision, Leon left his friend, Bean, and turned around and ran through the forest again. It was thanks to the conviction that persuasion would be impossible in its current state.

“Salt? With that, we…”

“Yes, Chief. They have already corrupted our people.”

Leon, who returned to the world inside the pot, told Serenian all of this with a sad expression.

It’s true that she was shocked too, but she immediately closed her mouth.

“In case you don’t know, I’ll tell the spirit.”

“Yes? But chieftain.”

“Wouldn’t it be easier to convince the people if we could have that salt as well?”

But Serenian thought differently. They did not see the elves as corrupted and longing for the culture outside.

“What the hell are you talking about? He couldn’t see the un-elf-like appearance…”

“It cannot be the same forever. Having paid the price and been beaten by traitors, I no longer consider it the right path.”

Serenian looked down at his feet. Even though it was given by a divine spirit, aren’t these soft and comfortable sandals that he is wearing right now an external thing?

“It is true that we must change. Persecuting and exploiting one’s own people through that change is the fall, but the change itself is not wrong.”

She has already created her own beliefs through her experiences of her past. Leon couldn’t resist. Because she stayed the way she was, she lost everything to someone stronger.

“If the spirits really taking care of this place give us a miracle, we will take it and go again.”

In the end, Leon lowered his head and agreed with her opinion.

On the way, Serenian picked up the walkie-talkie and called someone.

“Because it is salt, it is possible. It will be possible to build it up like a mountain.”

“Is that true? De, I heard that it is very rare and expensive.”

“It differs from time to time, from place to place.”

Seunghyeon laughed after hearing her story. It had been a few minutes before I had eaten the food with that salt right away.

The salt shaker I bought quite a while ago is now showing the bottom, but even a handful of salt overflows into the world in the small pot.
