Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Chapter 55-Justice?(5)

Chapter 55-Justice?(5)

“What happened inside the dungeon?”

“It’s a rift in space, Chief. I came running like this in case you knew something.”

Her warriors who came running to her Serenian were surprised and as soon as they saw her running out, she hurriedly opened her mouth. However, even after hearing her explanation, Serenian couldn’t calm her surprise.

Even at this moment, the world tree that is connected to him is not showing any reaction.

“In the underground labyrinth occupied by demonic beasts, the power of the World Tree is still not fully reached. So it is impossible to control the cracks that appear there.”

“Well, isn’t that dangerous!?”

“I will go and take a look.”

Serenian flinched, grabbed her bow and ran.

It was because he knew that even the help of the spirits could not be obtained in the underground labyrinth, that is, in the dungeon. Of course, it is also the home of the fairy ants that have allied with the elves, but they haven’t dealt with all the witch bugs yet.

“How did you find it?”

“As usual, I was chasing the demon beasts that were attacking with the ants, and chasing those who escaped. We wanted to stop, but the ants thought they had a chance, so they kept pushing into one of the labyrinths and eventually reached the deepest part.”

On her way, she asked how she had discovered this anomaly.

There was nothing particularly special about the testimonies of the warriors who responded. It was just that I found it while fighting the enemies who were attacking to recapture the hub as usual and chasing after them.

“This is what I found there.”

From noble mtl dot com

Her warriors, who brought her Serenians, guided her through another passage past her hub, which was made into a kind of fortress with wooden structures she had brought from above.

The core room where the core of the dungeon was located and one of the main bases of the beast bugs was reached after passing through the inside cleaned by the ants that thriftly feed on the corpses of the beasts.

There are many traces left untouched by ants.

“This is…”

Serenian lifted it off the floor with her eyes in disbelief. The shield with large scratches, which seems to have been attacked by the mutant witch beast’s hooked feet, is definitely made of steel.

But it wasn’t a shield that the elves made clumsily out of cutters. It was a proper shield with the proper shape and form. Besides, this shield wasn’t everything. Red bloodstains, torn hems, and broken crossbow bolts were all over the place.

“By the time we pushed in, the enemies, including the mutants, were already injured and exhausted. It is clear that unknown people came here and fought with the Witchbeasts.”

An elven warrior present at the scene spoke in a trembling voice, then raised his finger and pointed to another gaping passageway on the other side of the core room. All the traces left on the floor were on their way there. The place where the rift was found is also beyond.

Not only Serenian, but everyone on the scene felt that unknown people appeared from beyond that passageway and fought a battle with the witch beasts and daughter-in-law who were guarding this place.

“By the way, isn’t that shield a bit small?”

At that time, Urea, who had come together and stood with a grim face, saw Serenian holding a shield and raised a question. It was only then that Serenian looked at the shield properly and tilted his head at the size of the shield that could not even cover his upper body.

“I must have made it small on purpose. I heard that there are many types of shields…”

“It seems that the shield is not the only small one.”

Then, when Rondel, a warrior, tried to refute that there was nothing strange about it. Another elf brought something he had picked up and covered his mouth.

Everyone who saw it had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. Stuck in the corner was a torn hem made of leather. It was a kind of jacket.

The only problem was its size. It was small and short compared to the clothes of the elves, who had a slender figure of over 170 cm regardless of gender, and it was a size that seemed to fit only young elves.

The human physique was not too different from that of the elves, so the probability that it was human was small.

“Perhaps even a really young one took part in this battle.”

“There is no end to guessing that way. I just have to explore for myself.”

When opinions are about to divide among the slightly panicked elves. Serenian with a bow came forward and seized them.

“You are shameless. I ask you to lend me your strength only at this time when you put me in strange handcuffs and put me in an anthill to take care of them.”

“I told you to take a break after work, but isn’t taking care of the ants even during that time because you want to?”

“That, that is…”

Serenian immediately selected personnel to go on an expedition, and among them Urea was included. Naturally, Urea expressed displeasure, but Serenian snorted and replied.

Urea, her face blushing for the moment, couldn’t retort and pursed her lips. In fact, Urea was forcibly performing various labors ordered by Serenian, such as crop harvesting, farming, pottery, and sewing, but he was free to communicate with the fairy ants and take care of them.

The ants took an absolutely friendly attitude towards the elves after accepting the power of the World Tree through the queen ant, but Urea was the only one who could communicate directly with them anyway.

“Not only our lives, but everyone’s lives, including the ants, are at stake, so please cooperate.”

Serenian released Urea’s handcuffs. Urea reflexively bit her lip, but that was all. Even so, her suppressed qi was completely suppressed when she saw the divine punishment of the divine spirit that was just before.

‘If I resist Serenian, then I will too.’

Images of men horribly burned to death by the sun passed her head. Serenian didn’t kill his fellow elves, but he couldn’t help but think that if he did anything wrong, he too would be punished and become like that.

“We are leaving.”

Soon, Serenian set off on her expedition, including her own. However, she did not take the lead. Heavily armed warriors would stand in front to ensure her safety, and they would follow behind. Serenian herself didn’t like it, but it was a tactic to protect her one and only high elf.

“Hey, cracks.”

She didn’t even walk very long. As she walked down the aisle, where traces of battle still remained, at the end of it, a crack in the shimmering space was visible. Serenian groaned lightly as she realized that unlike the rifts in the ground she could control, she could not have the slightest influence.

“Are you going to go first?”

At that moment, a red drone followed them in silence and flew towards the crack first, making a whining sound. Seeing this, Serenian took a deep breath and stopped the warriors who were trying to cross the rift, and the drone crossed the rift first without hesitation.

“Wait a little. If it’s okay, I’ll definitely come back and let you know.”

Having fought with drones before, she took her time and waited for them.

And within minutes, the drone came back and spun around. Serenian took it to mean safe.

“Then we will go first.”

The waiting warriors passed through the rift first. Urea sighed as if she couldn’t help it and crossed the crack, and Serenian, who was left alone, stood still and waited for them.

“I think you can come.”

Then again, her warrior, her rondel, who came to pick her up, her face reminded me of something.

With that, Serenian confirmed his safety and crossed the rift without hesitation and reached the other side of the world.

“This place is different.”

“I can’t feel the energy of the World Tree at all. This is not the Great Forest.”

The dark and humid cave was instantly transformed into a sun-drenched forest. However, the elves intuited that the forest was different from the one they knew.

It was a completely different kind of forest from the Great Forest, where giant trees towering high into the sky grew. The trees were plain and the density was not very high.

Most of all, when the power of the World Tree, which the elves could feel instinctively, disappeared, everyone felt a sense of alienation and shuddered.

“Where are we?”

Muttering blankly, Serenian walked and headed towards the end. The place that looks like a hill is not a hill, but on top of a sheer cliff.

Below and in front of it stretched a huge, blue river that I had never seen before in my life, and a great mountain range that made me feel heavy just by looking at it.

“Is it somewhere else on the continent?”

Even the eldest Urea was flustered and couldn’t answer her question about where this place was. In the first place, none of them had any experience of escaping the Great Forest.

Serenian was overwhelmed by the scenery and was speechless for a while, staring blankly at it.

“Chief, it seems that the divine beast has found something.”

And among them, the red drone was the only one who looked at this landscape without inspiration. The drone roamed every nook and cranny while the elves were still, buzzing to them that they had found something.

“A trace left in the labyrinth.”

After following the drone, Serenian found bloodstains on the floor. The footprints next to it were clearly those of the opponent who shed blood here.
