Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Chapter 138- Trauma (8)

Chapter 138- Trauma (8)

Trauma or PTSD. Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. What is certain is that he ran away to escape and forget the past.

‘I’m not doing anything wrong, right?’

However, Dongchun Kim, who was his colleague, understood and regretted him for running away. Losing all of his family to monsters that wiped out the city after failing to control him, and losing all of his teammates with whom he had been with him for nearly three years right in front of his eyes, was not something a 19-year-old could bear.

Because of that, he stopped contacting me and didn’t contact me first even though I knew he was living as a normal person. Until recently he contacted me again.

‘It’s certain that things have changed.’

Kim Dong-chun, who was sitting alone at a cafe, was convinced of the change in Seung-hyeon over the past few months while drinking coffee.

Since he contacted him first, Seung-hyeon, who has been making suspicious and bizarre demands, has definitely changed.

As if he had finally cleared away the remnants of his past, he visited Eun-yeong Seo, who was the team leader, and she detoxified her poison with a drug she had found somewhere.

He even hinted recently that he might be working as a hunter again.

What impressed Kim Dong-chun was actually not only how Seung-hyeon overcame the trauma of the past to some extent.

“Stuck in the past…I am too.”

Laughing bitterly, he blankly looked at the background of his phone and muttered. The picture in the background is a picture taken in the past. This is a picture of himself, of course, of Seunghyun and the rest of the team right before the accident.

It is a past that can never be returned, but if Seung-hyeon overcomes the trauma and goes back to work as a hunter, he hopes that he will be able to feel the feelings of those days that he cannot forget.

“So what exactly are you asking me to do?”

“It’s not that great. Actually, I didn’t know you would really do it.”

“Because I don’t intend to just receive it.”

Seunghyun came out on time. He smiled and showed something to Seunghyun, who showed an attitude that was no different.

“This is the dungeon that our company is in charge of. It’s not a very high level, and the attack itself will be done by our kids, so you can participate as a mercenary, follow me quietly, and take care of things in case you don’t know.”

“Ha.”

Seunghyeon smiled after receiving the data he handed over. If the data were in accordance with the laws and regulations, he would not have had to laugh like this.

“Yeah, that’s how it is. I don’t know if you know, but the industry here is fierce right now. Know?”

“You know, you know.”

Kim Dong-chun started making excuses to see if I was stabbed because I laughed. I know why I am doing this.

Of course, winning a dungeon or gate is the basis of how hunter companies get their biggest income, the bounty. If you prove that you can do it and submit it to the country, you can get approval, and if you get approval, you proceed with attack or defense.

Because of this, the presence of a senior hunter is of utmost importance to the company. If you sell the name of a high-ranking hunter, it will be much easier to pick up a dungeon or gate and deal with it.

The problem arises here. This is because the management and supervision are poor in the case of dungeons that have a large number and are not so high in rank.

Hunter companies eventually had to change their manpower to do business, so it was a practice to deliberately send unprepared rookies or low-ranking people to dungeons with a low probability of accidents.

“I know you don’t like that sort of thing. However, the revision of the law is too late compared to reality, so I can’t help it. If you don’t do this, it’s impossible to properly handle it.”

“…That’s okay. Because I don’t care.”

He looked at me, but I clicked my tongue and shook my head. Not everyone lives with the trauma of the past.

On the contrary, it is foolish not to overcome it.

In a way, the belief shown by Kim Dong-chun, who has lived a rough life from before, may be rather correct than me, who reacts to a trivial thing and is sensitive.

“When should I go?”

“It’s tomorrow right now, but since you have work, I’ll put it off.”

The time has been set. Tomorrow evening, I will enter the dungeon again after 8 years.

Of course, I had no idea. Actually, I’ve seen dungeons quite often. It’s a dungeon created in a small world inside a flowerpot, but I think I’ve seen it all by type.

“What, isn’t there anything to prepare?”

“Maybe.”

“Well…no matter how long I rest, I’m sure I’ll get enough A ranks.”

As we parted, he asked if I had anything to prepare.

I gave the answer a little vaguely. Rather than preparing something properly, I was thinking of bringing something.

However, wondering how he interpreted that answer, Kim Dongchun nodded his head and stumbled upon it.

‘I can’t believe the time has come to really use it.’

After arriving at home after meeting Kim Dong-chun, I did not go straight to the flower pot as usual, but looked for something I had kept well last time. It is a dagger with a black blade lying quietly on my desk.

It is a special dagger made by dwarves making the body and putting magic stones that humans made into it. I used my strength to bring the dagger into my hand.

The power that resonates with my power could serve to amplify my power momentarily.

“Did something go wrong?”

I prepared my dagger, changed my clothes, and prepared a drink before heading to the veranda where the lights were off. I tend to look at almost all the potted plants, just changing directions from my seat, but the thing I’m most concerned about these days is the potted plant in the newly pioneered river terrain.

I had to shine a light to prevent the parasitic bees, but I was worried because the sun had already gone down, but fortunately, the city construction site where thousands of elves were busily moving was operating normally with countless torches lit.

You don’t have to fight fiercely or build fancy facilities.

It was to the extent that I didn’t notice the time passing just by watching them wriggling around carrying materials and attempting construction, or sitting in groups of two or three, resting and chatting.

“Ah, can you hear me? Doesn’t everything look good today?”

“I finally got it. I couldn’t even go, so I waited.”

It was then that the walkie-talkie rang. Rarely, Serenian called me first.

But seeing that expression hardened as he moves to a secluded place away from the other elves, it seems that there is something wrong. Because I said I would keep trying until I got it.

“Are traces of orcs found in the Beast Parasitic Bee dungeon?”

“Pia said so.”

And in fact, the things she told me about today were quite numerous and dangerous.

“The Orcs joined hands with or used the Demon Beast Parasitic Bees. You, who know more about orcs than I do, really think that’s possible?”

“I don’t know much about orcs either. However, it can be said that it is similar to, but different from, the dwarves who found the entrance to the labyrinth by chance and were attacked by witch-beasts.”

Serenian told me about the discussion among the elves. It is true that the Orcs came into contact with the Witchbeasts and Parasitic Bees, and that they were not simply hunted, it seems to be true under the circumstances.

Either way is awkward. It was because it didn’t seem like it would be beneficial to Eden’s safety, whether it was a witch parasitic bee or an orc.

Especially because Orcs have been heard in real life for the past few days, and they are the main culprits that complicate my head.

“I want to attack them before they do anything else, but I need more time to build a minimal city. We can’t attack aggressively for the time being because almost all of our labor is being put in.”

“I understand. You don’t live to fight, you fight to live, so it doesn’t make sense to put everything aside and fight.”

I am also crazy about the orcs, but asking the elves to attack and find out is just an act of juggernaut.

Instead, while building the city, I came up with an idea while watching the elves pay special attention to the parasitic bees’ attack.

A method that I think is more effective than having them stand guard 24 hours a day or turning on a light every night to scare away demonic parasitic bees.

It’s a bit late, but I tried to contact Choi Seon-woo.

-A miniature lighthouse? If so, is self-development possible?

“A lighthouse would be an appropriate term.”

At first, I was thinking of purchasing a high-performance lantern and putting it in, but thinking about it, I didn’t see the need to waste the precious opportunity to adjust the magnification.

If you could set up a lighthouse in the middle of a city and shoot strong light only where you want it whenever you need it, enemies who are afraid of the light would not be able to attack it.
