Faith Life of a Former Scammer

067. Rice cakes are self-assembled

How will people react when an angel visits them one day?

Didn’t have to look far.

Here was the answer.

“Yes, angel. I asked for help.”

A woman came out in front of Leon and got down on one knee.

Her answer was polite and calm.

At this point, it was Leon’s position that was embarrassing.

‘Wow, you’re getting this right away?’

Is it because she is shameless?

This isn’t shameless.

It meant that Leon’s guess was correct.

‘There must be something wrong.’

If there were no problems, there would be no way to increase quicksand and collect the corpses of monsters and animals.

It was said that if the angel’s help was needed, it was no small matter.

“But, don’t you think you’re capable enough to call me?”

[There is no divine power in the body.]

Leone didn’t say this to her to provoke her.

information was needed.

“My name is ‘Mir,’ the guardian of the World Tree. It seems to be the power that the World Tree has exerted through me.”

“Oh my.”

Leon burst into exclamations and worked his brain to full capacity.

‘World tree? Elf? Are those ears a real elf!? No, there are elves underground!’

An elf who disappeared from the continent. The elf lived underground in the desert.

‘Stop thinking nonsense, think about how to answer!’

Contrary to his inner thoughts, Leone answered leisurely.

“indeed… … .”

First of all, after nodding his head as if he knew roughly everything.

“That’s why you hear these wailing sounds.”

He said something that looked like something. She snapped a bite of the rice cake that Leon had thrown.

“The sound of wailing that the angel hears… … It must be the sound of the World Tree.”

Naturally, I figured out what the problem was.

“I see. That’s why it’s so loud.”

Leon shook his head as if he understood everything. Then, the woman in front of me asked anxiously.

“Ah, is the World Tree suffering a lot?”

“no. The World Tree is not struggling because of its own pain. The world tree is in pain because of you.”

At Leon’s words, the elves began to panic.

“The World Tree is sad because of us?”

“No way, this is wrong… … .”

“no. It couldn’t have been.”

Leon’s intention worked.

The guys were bewildered and agitated.

“A child who communicates with the World Tree.”

“Yes, my angel.”

“In order for me to come down to this earth, I must burn the life force of this child who becomes a vessel.”

Leon pointed to his body and said.

“Tell this child everything. Come back when you’re ready.”

Is it because of the words burning life? She couldn’t resist and answered right away.

“All right. I will tell you everything.”

“I’m a good boy, so please take good care of me.”

With those words, the wings and halo disappeared, and Leone collapsed.

‘I liked the picture! The composition was good!’

The elves cautiously approached Leon.

‘Because I don’t have to go hard.’

With fake wings, a halo, and a few words, Leone went from being an ‘intruder’ to being a ‘special guest’.

The collapsed Leon had his eyes closed, but he didn’t really faint.

“What’s the status!?”

“You don’t have to worry. You are asleep.”

With the help of Bixby, I was able to maintain my sleeping state naturally.

As soon as they confirmed that Leon was asleep, the guys started asking questions.

“Guardian-sama, did you really call an angel!?”

“I don’t know.”

“No, don’t you know?”

“The World Tree may have arranged it, but I never imagined that it was an angel.”

Everyone was shocked by her answer and said nothing.

“So, are you saying it might not be what we called?”

“Maybe so, but if you’ve come all the way here, the world tree will arrange for you.”

An angel who visited deep underground.

It’s ridiculous, but when I think about it, I couldn’t help but think that I came because I called.

After a moment of silence, the Guardian made a decision.

“Looking at the current situation, there is absolutely nothing wrong with us.”

“There is no problem. Humans have come this far.”

“He is a child who becomes an angel’s vessel. You are the human chosen by the angels.”

‘Angel’s Bowl’ proved Rion’s purity.

“Besides, you don’t mean to stop receiving angelic help now that the World Tree is sick, right?”

These words were the decisive blow.

The elves were in a position where they needed at least cat hands. I was in no position to refuse.

The elves began moving Leone carefully.

* * *

The elves who brought Leone were asked many questions by the elves in the city.

“You bring a human… … .”

“What is this… … .”

It wasn’t Leon’s job to resolve this misunderstanding.

“I will explain everything.”

It was the responsibility of the elves, who were called guardians. While she was busy moving, Leon was watching.

[Can you see?]

‘uh. I can see it too.’

Siri delivered the image of the city using divine power.

‘Hey, I’m not a dwarf, I didn’t even think that elves would live underground.’

The appearance of the underground elven city was shocking beyond exotic.

‘I wondered how they live underground, but I never thought it would be like this.’

There was a large space underground, so I didn’t plant the world tree or build a house.

The way they live is beyond imagination.

‘This is like a parasite.’

They lived inside the World Tree.

‘Is this possible?’

Many conditions were required for such a world tree to exist.

First, trees or seeds had to be planted deep in the ground. Of course, planting did not end there.

‘It takes a lot of time to grow this deep in the ground.’

It was deep underground. Worst environment for plants to grow. Growing up in a place like this would have taken a lot of time.

‘Then, it would be correct to think that the elves prepared this a long time ago.’

Like a last-ditch bastion, it must have been a place prepared at the level of the elves.

While Leon was organizing his thoughts, it was time to wake up.

“I will take this human with me. I know your anxiety, but this is necessary.”

“I understand, Guardian.”

People leave, leaving Leone alone with her.

Leone woke up naturally.

“Mmm.”

With a short moan, I opened my eyes and got up.

“You are awake.”

Lyon responded calmly to her words.

“Yes, sorry. It is not easy to contain him.”

“… … You seem to remember?”

“Yes. The angel is just borrowing my body.”

If you say you don’t know, it’s just needlessly long words. Lyon’s answer gave her a good expression.

“First, I want to ask you some questions.”

“Yes.”

“How did you come here?”

Leon explained calmly.

“Guardian, I am a priest who worships God.”

“I know.”

She asked as if it had nothing to do with it.

“God told me to go to the desert.”

I was surprised by Leon’s words and asked.

“God!?”

“Yes. After that, as you know. An angel borrowed my body.”

“that is… … Well… … .”

She tried to ask if that made sense, but swallowed the question. In the first place, it was the same as making no sense from the angel.

‘Five. Doesn’t it seem like he’s not a Guardian?’

She thought she would be taken aback for a while, but she quickly came to her senses.

“It seems like this is already out of my awareness. So, without wasting time, I’ll get straight to the point.”

She knew exactly what she was doing.

‘great. Shall we listen?’

It’s time to check what happened.

* * *

She was smart, but not a good storyteller.

The story begins with ‘history’.

‘Should I say what I think.’

The world tree planted underground was an arrangement prepared by the ancient elves.

The ‘last city’ of the elves prepared for the time when the extinction of the race came. Because of this preparation, the elves were able to survive against the greedy humans.

“… … The World Tree absorbs the sun’s power from the desert sands. We elves absorb nutrients from the world tree… … .”

The position of the elves was as they thought.

‘helminth’. It was itself.

A city designed to live as a parasite on the World Tree.

‘It took a really long time.’

After a long and lengthy explanation, the story that Rion wanted finally began to emerge.

“There is a problem with such a world tree. The World Tree’s vitality is beginning to decline.”

The problem with the world tree was the fate of the elves.

“We mobilized various methods to replenish that vitality.”

It would not have been the time to cover the means and methods.

At that moment, somehow things started to fit together.

‘The reason why I wanted the corpses of monsters and wild animals… … .’

What if it’s for the World Tree, whose vitality is declining?

“We found our own solution. It actually worked.”

The elves’ desperation was what drove them to do this nonsense.

“We thought we had found hope… … Until the angels come.”

There were two things that took Leon.

“Is the technique of extracting and absorbing life force the elves?”

“It can’t be. It was among the books my ancestors kept.”

Trouble arises, and luckily the book is found. Elves have no choice but to use this book for survival.

‘This can’t be a coincidence.’

A strangely familiar way.

Place objects that aggravate the problem by the side of the incident. It was the same way Ward discovered ‘The Lobe’.

‘Darkness. This guy is after something.’

It moved violently as if a spark flew in Leon’s head.

‘The problem is, while using this method, why did you contact Flint, who was the owner of the mage tower… … .’

Leon cut off the thoughts that continued to flow.

‘done. That’s not the point.’

No matter what the dark guy was doing or what his movements meant, it didn’t matter too much to Leon.

‘I don’t care what the dark guy does as long as he doesn’t interfere with me. I’ll take the part where the middle and middle gains overlap.’

It honestly didn’t matter as long as the end of the world didn’t happen while Rion was still alive.

‘Since when did I protect the world? I just need to extract the benefits.’

The antecedents should not change. ‘Profit’ comes first, and preventing destruction is just a side bridge.

It was enough to keep the world from perishing.

‘great. What’s really important is that we’ve confirmed the pattern of darkness.’

If you know the patterns and techniques of black magic, it’s easy to move them in the direction you want.

Rion organized her thoughts and checked the rest.

“Are you injecting the drawn life force as it is?”

“After going through purification once, I am injecting it into the world tree.”

“Who confirms that it has been purified? Is that life force really clean and safe?”

“… … We are thoroughly checking.”

“It doesn’t matter how thorough you are. Whether that life force is really clean is what matters.”

“that!”

She spoke as if to retort, then fell into deep thought.

‘I’m not sure.’

What if a speck of pollution builds up over years? Dust ceases to be dust.

And future events will prove that this life force is not clean.

‘Because elves will go crazy in the future.’

In future empires, elves will be classified as ‘monsters’.

‘I was wondering why the gentle and peaceful elf went crazy.’

There were many rumors about him, but the real cause was right here.

“You may be injecting poison into the World Tree.”

“Ah, so the angel said that the world tree was in pain because of us… … .”

She had a look of realization.

‘uh? It fits like this?’

The rice cakes that were thrown at her began to engage strangely.

“Priest, can you help us? Let me show you.”

He led Leon into the deepest part of the World Tree.
