Episode 240 – The meaning of the flowerpot (10)

An enraged god cast a ray of destruction from the sky, annihilating an army.

As the Dwarf King Karson already knew before negotiating with Sereninan, rumors spread quickly. In the first place, what happened that day was not of such a scale that the survivors could keep their mouths shut.

It had nothing to do with anything but serious belief. Rumors spread out of control, and in the process, of course, there were only distorted and exaggerated parts.

It was natural that those parts were not very welcome to the existing rulers who had to govern the people under their command.

“Does it make sense? And even if it is real, it is meaningless if it is a force that only works in that place called Eden.”

“The problem is that rumors have already spread. Don’t you already know the stupidity of the stupid and foolish public? In the end, they only believe what they want to believe. They are short-sighted people who think they are the correct answer no matter how much they deny and show evidence.”

“If even the ignorant lower classes are swept away…”

He sighed and shook his head. The divine punishment and the rumors spreading were more annoying to him as the king of a country than simply the fact that the army he mobilized was defeated.

“The Dwarf King is already on their side. Stupid guy.”

“It is not an incomprehensible judgment. The Dwarven King is never one to bend to the New Empire.”

She spoke with him in a light voice. She was angry and annoyed, but her reaction was completely different from his, as if she had an idea.

“The king lives here in the north ruling the north, but we are different. We have informants all over the continent. When you put together what you hear from them, the currents of the world are mysteriously flowing.”

“Is it because of the Empire?”

“Yes. Already, the New Empire possesses overwhelming power, devouring the wealthiest lands. The speed is also amazing, and most of the work may be sorted out within this year or next year. Those who remain are forced to choose one by one: whether to surrender and follow the order they lead, or resist to the end.”

She smiled faintly. It was not polite to say with the king of one country in front of him that another country would become the hegemon who would trample on others, but he, knowing the general circumstances, thought it was not wrong, so he just frowned.

“Then the church. Will the Church also side with the Empire?”

He spat out as if he would not give up either. Although they cooperate with each faction, in fact, it is the various denominations that are considered separate forces. They, who inherited the legacy of the old mythical age that are no longer left, are also the main players who played an active part in the great war.

“I don’t know about other denominations, but we will be no different. Maybe.”

She doesn’t fall for his provocations and all she does is laugh.

“However, all religious forces are probably keeping an eye on those who claim to worship the sky god. It is one law that the connection with the gods is closed. Are those who violated the law really the legitimate successors of God or the evil foreign heretics?”

“…Since they are not going to bend to the Empire, aren’t you guys going to side with the Empire in the end?”

But at the next words, he clicked his tongue and shook his head. She doesn’t even deny it, her deep purple eyes just twinkle.

“I was worried because they are vampires, but they seem to be doing well.”

“Who would dare to play a prostitute here?”

“Yes, indeed.”

Leon smiled and looked up at the sky. Eden’s sky after a long time. What you see right now is nothing different from the outside.

“Leon. Quantity check is over.”

“Let’s leave right away.”

After recovering the Great Forest, Leon, who is living in the Great Forest, which is developing rapidly with the world tree that sprouted together with his wife Ruri, whom he met again, came to Eden today to transport a large amount of goods. .

The elves of the Great Forest he has brought carry on numerous carts are raw materials that can only be obtained in Eden, such as fertilizer, needles, cellophane, rubber bands, and wood locks. And it was something the dwarves made.

“At the Queen’s word to be prepared, I increased the number of carts by 100 just in case… It seems there is no end.”

“That’s right.”

He moved his steps and entered the flower pot in the river area, and fell asleep watching the direction of the carts loaded with goods going back and forth.

In that place, objects that kept falling from the sky were already piled up like mountains. From the mountain that looked like that, they continued to carry the things they needed.

But at this moment, the resources Seonghyeon was crouching down to sprinkle in the pots never ran dry.

“Carrying things in is a problem, but unloading them is also a problem.”

“I can’t help it. Didn’t trade with the dwarves also begin?”

Urea, riding a fairy ant, approached him. Likewise, Urea, who was in command of the others, was tasked with unloading the goods brought from the Great Forest.

These items were none other than various items brought from the human world outside the Great Forest. Exchanges with the human kingdom of Kamihi, as negotiated after Serenian led an army into the capital and obtained surrender, were also activated.

The items that came to Eden in this way were supposed to flow into the northern kingdom of Dwarves who wanted them using Eden as a hub.

“When I was the chief of the village… A human from the kingdom of Delos told me that. If the elves awakened to their desires, they would be able to dominate and rule without war. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but recently I’ve come to think that’s right.”

“There is no race without desire. If that’s the case, it’s enough to use it.”

Leon also agreed with Urea’s words as he watched the procession of numerous carts.

Eden’s size is obviously less than that of a large city on a continent where hundreds of thousands of people live, but it has support that is practically equivalent to using a cheat key as its strength.

The strong economic power derived from those resources was the weapon of Eden. Elves who were ignorant of such things were gradually awakening to the power of capital.

Especially in Eden, there was no official hierarchy or coercive rule under the authority of heaven, so the power of money to pay a fair price was stronger.

“If you have time, let’s visit Deneb. You will be surprised to see how the place has changed since the number of people who have recently migrated has increased dramatically.”

“When did you treat her as a criminal, an enemy who allowed her to be taken away?”

“What does it mean now? In the end, that desire, we all have it. It was nothing in the first place. It’s nothing more than a reed-like heart that’s not worth shaking off from corruption.”

Leon laughed bitterly when Urea snorted at his words. Obviously, he and Yurea fought each other by aiming their bows at each other, but Leon really lost his mind due to the various incidents he was going through in a row in a short period of time.

“It must be that the changes in the Great Forest have been great.”

“Have you had a bad relationship?”

“It was.”

Liam approached Urea, who was watching Leon leave again. They came after checking the items made by the Dwarf artisans that would flow into the Great Forest.

“A lot of things flowed into the Great Forest, so it must have changed. Look at the grove elves who came here in the first place. Hasn’t it changed a lot?”

Liam laughed and pointed to the elves from the Great Forest. The same goes for the elves in Eden who quickly adapted to this place, but the elves in the Great Forest have also changed a lot.

Contrary to the past, when they were sober and traditional, there were quite a few people who were wearing fancy clothes and accessories.

In the first place, Leon said that the people who were selected and brought in today to carry the luggage were the ones who voluntarily went out ‘to receive a salary’.

The natural concept of wanting to work voluntarily in hopes of a reward, rather than necessity for oneself or dedication, duty, or service to one’s people, was actually unfamiliar to the elves of the Great Forest.

“I’m curious. How would the people who knew the taste of money change? Is it really corrupted and broken like in the tale, or is it developing in a sound direction as the queen sees it?”

“So, do you have any plans to start a business together in Daesoorim?”

“…What?”

When Urea showed her interest, Liam, her eyes twinkling, smirked as he climbed atop her fairy ant. Her expression changed to a frown at the sudden story, but she didn’t seem to care.

“It’s not my idea, but one of my colleagues said there was something he wanted to sell in Great Forest. I’m trying to do business with an elf living in the city, but I heard that I need help from an executive who can affect the Great Forest. As soon as I heard the story, I thought of you.”

“You’re putting all your thoughts into it. Well, I did expect that one day the queen would see this happen more actively.”

Liam convinced her that this was her chance. Urea’s reaction was bewildered, but her reaction was not disinterested.

“I’ll drop you off in front of the Dwarf Village. I’ll think about it, so stop touching the waist.”

“Kuhm.”

Urea, who wasn’t disinterested as she reacted, glared at him sitting behind her, but she didn’t throw him away and gave him a ride.

‘It’s a pretty strange relationship.’

However, the two did not notice that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation. They must have known that they had a conversation among themselves, but in fact, the person watching them from above heard all of the conversation.

However, he focused more on the relationship between the two people, whom he had been fond of since ancient times, rather than the contents of exchanges and trade that continued to develop.

The relationship between elves and dwarves, which apparently began with an incident where they groped their bodies with their bare hands to measure the necessary figures for making armor, has come to this point.
