Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

212 – The Identity of Eden (2)

Chapter 212 – The Identity of Eden (2)

“What did you just say?”

“Well, that seems to have made things a little bigger.”

“No matter how much…”

Serenian, who even changed clothes to sleep, froze in surprise when he heard the news. The same goes for the person who delivered the news. He was even more so because it was a problem that exploded in a part he wasn’t too worried about.

“What exactly happened?”

In the end, Serenian moved directly at this late hour to hear the detailed news. The flowerpot in the mountainous terrain where the dwarves were was already overturned.

If it’s a moderate problem, the dwarves might think it’s something they have to solve on their own, but she decided that this could turn into something that all of Eden would have to do.

“No detailed information yet. The news is that Naria-sama didn’t send the promised news, so she went and investigated and found a problem there.”

Aaron let out a deep sigh as he told her the information the Dwarf Special Operations Unit had learned.

Naria, heading to her home village, originally planned to send news at the appointed time, whether her persuasion plan failed or succeeded, but it did not come.

The members who questioned that question visited her village and found out that it was tightly controlled by soldiers.

She said, “She disguised herself as a peddler from district to district, approached the soldiers, bribed them, and obtained some information.”

The special operations team used their wits to find out the cause and progress of the situation, even in a rough way, and delivered the news.

Serenian was surprised to hear that, and she flinched, not knowing what expression to make.

“Ah, no, are you saying that the whole precious thing was offered as it is without any explanation? If that happens, it’s obvious that something will be suspected, but why…!”

“I think I believed too thoroughly. I mean the kingdom.”

From Serenian’s point of view, it was incomprehensible that Naria’s father had given away her aluminum ingot. He thought he would do the bare minimum, or at least prepare an excuse, but he didn’t.

Thanks to this, Naria’s father, who couldn’t find an excuse, kept his mouth shut to protect her daughter, and they tortured him. When Naria saw it, her eyes rolled over and she charged in and fought on her own, but the news was that, to her disbelief, she was defeated and captured by her opponent.

“I know. It was inevitable that her family’s life was at stake, but neither of them was very wise.”

“From the point of view of receiving taxes, it is of course suspicious. But even so, I would like to investigate it so radically. Are dwarves like that?”

Serenian changed the subject as Aaron sighed and shook his head. When he said that was the case, Aaron laughed and shook his head.

“This is absolutely not a normal procedure. According to the information I found, the purpose of Nofen, the person in charge of bringing the army, seems to be aiming for the KDB rather than carrying out official duties.”

It is said that Aaron himself was betrayed by his subordinate, whom he trusted, but he was the one who eventually escaped after receiving pressure and disadvantages due to the strange handling of the central government. But even from Aaron’s point of view, this time went too far.

Although he was beaten during transport by the greedy head of the guards, he was not openly tortured. Based on that, Aaron noticed the greed of Nofen, the central official.

“Queen, it is difficult for us to do this. If you’re not careful, you could end up in a war for nothing with people you don’t have to fight for. What can we gain by going to war with the Dwarven Kingdom now?”

Seeing that Serenian’s eyes were shaking, Urea, who had followed him, opened his mouth first and stopped him.

This time, Daesurim was different from the first attack. What happened inside the dwarves, even this side, provided an excuse for Naria’s runaway.

If Eden sets out to save them here, giving the enemies a justification. Serenian, who had become the leader of the country, was well aware of that.

“Do you have any other ideas? We must save them.”

“We do have a plan. I was going to visit you early in the morning to discuss it, but you came like this.”

Fortunately, Aaron said he had already made a plan. So that he can finish well here without further raising things.

“I will negotiate with them in secret. It’s a guess, but the fact that they’re actually traitors aren’t taken straight to the center is probably because they haven’t abandoned their greedy minds and haven’t found out the source of the mountain silver yet. If you use that point to persuade properly, you may be able to conclude the negotiations.”

“Right now, that seems…right.”

I was going to block it with money. In fact, looking at Nofen’s propensity, it was a plan with a high probability of success.

A special group was formed for that purpose. They hid their identities as Eden and became unidentified black market merchants, tasked with rescuing Naria in exchange for aluminum ingots.

“I will go too.”

Ren heard the news and came to Serenian right after the initial probation was over. Serenian, of course, tried to refuse, but he hesitated when he saw Ren’s eyes. While Serenian was doing other things, the bond he developed with and learning from Naria was by no means small.

“This is a secret operation. It’s dangerous if the existence of elves is known.”

“I am the same height as the dwarves. It’s not impossible if you just cover your face. You have to ride the fairy ants in the first place, but I think the danger lies there.”

As if she had prepared in advance, Ren did not insist on recklessly, but gave a logical rationale. Serenian was also a convincing reason that left her speechless for a moment.

“You’ve grown a lot, you too. In less than a year.”

In the end, she laughed bitterly and allowed Ren to leave.

“As currency was created and economic exchanges with the outside world began after the war, I was trying to find a period of stability, but somehow incidents and accidents do not stop. Well, in the first place, it means that the influence you have extended now is that great.”

“I always wonder if my choice is right or wrong. It’s hard to be sure.”

The point at which the special team, including Ren, left at dawn. Serenian found her herb pot. Seonghyeon, who saw her coming, was also in the state of her preparation for work.

Serenian looked at him and confessed that whenever he had a question, he came here.

“So you tell me. My choice wasn’t wrong.”

“Does my words, which know nothing of the world, have such power?”

“Of course.”

Seonghyeon laughed at her words of assurance, but her eyes remained firm without wavering. When he saw that, he was taken aback.

“…It seems premature for the elven armies to wage war against the dwarf realm. It lacks justification and practicality. I think it’s right to handle it as quietly as possible.”

“Isn’t that right?”

In the end, he had no choice but to tell her his point of view based on the information he had heard from her. Her expression was relieved at once, as if she was greatly relieved by that word, even though it was only one person’s opinion.

“But you never know how things will turn out. Are you prepared?”

“Even if war breaks out again, I will not avoid it. What I want is to retreat without thinking that the opponent will invade in the future with only our name. It requires overwhelming strength and specialization for that. Building a city in the Kamihi Kingdom and trying to cooperate with the humans there is part of cultivating that power, but in the end, you also need a major.”

War is dangerous and gambling. However, Serenian did not dare to avoid war.

The reason why war never ends is because there are many benefits that can be gained from it. She acknowledged that, too, and would rather fight a war that was advantageous and winnable for them.

She believed it was the way to achieve true peace. It’s because the world has changed now to find peace without doing anything like the great forest of the past.

‘Should I make a Serenian figure?’

After finishing the conversation, he went outside and went to the veranda, looking down at Serenian as he was returning to his house.

An elf who struggled to come to a flower pot with nothing on it alone became a proper monarch before he knew it.

Knowing that the mini-figures he sent had caused quite a stir, Seung-hyeon wanted to give a gift this time as he had given many gifts in the past.

Unless enemies invade the flowerpot, the events unfolding on the continent are something he cannot get involved in.

So I just focus on what I can do.
