Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

245-Empire (5)

Episode 245-Empire (5)

“It’s amazing that everyone has come together like this. “Does the order I gave now have that much authority?”

The center of the empire, the largest human power on the continent. A huge city where hundreds of thousands of people live. It was the capital that still maintains its status, having been transformed from a human-created force into a new empire where various races are united as one.

Special people gathered there. Since these people rarely gather in one place, the person who called them in was also amazed and grinned.

“Don’t be mistaken. Because the matter is that serious.”

The being with the face of a black panther ticked as if it did not like it. The mood of others was similarly not so good.

In fact, he was a tall young human male, and he did not stop laughing despite the fierceness of the beast showing its teeth.

“Light, earth, water, wind, mountains…Representatives of all denominations have gathered here. Obviously, you must be the only ones who inherit divine power. But recently, unsavory rumors have been spreading everywhere.”

When the others did not lighten the mood, he clicked his tongue as if he knew and got to the point. The representatives of the church gathered at the end of the report saying it was an unsavory rumor looked at each other with their mouths shut and exchanged glances.

“Everyone here probably thinks that there is a need to find out whether the force called Eden, which they say is under the protection of the Sky God, is really under the protection of a forgotten old god, or whether it is using evil magic, right? “It’s the same for us.”

“Your Excellency the Regent of the Empire, what do you want? Clearly, those Eden people are doing very little of what a true believer of God should do.”

A platinum-haired woman who represented the Church of Light, which was centered around human forces, asked him directly.

They inherited and used divine power from the legacy left behind by the old gods, and had to continue training to continue using divine power. Because it was common sense to them, they had focused all their attention on training rather than getting involved politically.

But the Eden forces were different. They simply continued their political activities, such as waging war or negotiating with existing powers, as if they had no interest in training for God.

“Of course, I want to be friendly with them through the empire’s generosity.”

He smiled faintly, his red eyes shining faintly. Of course, even if he didn’t show it like that, everyone here wouldn’t have believed him as he walked the path of defeat without hesitation.

“But if they don’t want to join the order we want to create, there’s nothing we can do. “For true peace.”

“What on earth is your true purpose?”

As expected, he intended to attack Eden if she did not give in first. When she saw that, she asked as if it was absurd.

“Many people misunderstand, but the chaos on the continent was planned right before the end of the Great War. Everyone here has been through it, so they know, right? “From the moment it became clear that the Demon King would be virtually defeated by the hands of the hero, many of these so-called heroes and powerful people were thinking about what happened next.”

Orca, who had erased her smile, brought up an incident from the past in a somewhat serious voice. He could not refute his words because the religious forces were sincerely engaged in the great war.

The force united against the common enemy took a different turn the moment the enemy disappeared.

“The warrior also realized that the true peace he believed in was a future that would never come and left. The border was a mess due to fighting, countless vagabonds, resources wasted… The moment those left behind began to weigh it all in terms of profit and loss, the future was decided. “It was obvious that if someone didn’t step forward and fix things, the world would eventually fall apart again.”

“So you decided to take it upon yourself to clean it all up? “Is that heart really for a pure cause?”

“I’m not trying to argue about morals or right and wrong, saint. “She didn’t go into trouble to argue about something like that.”

Orca grinned again and shrugged her shoulders. Confirming that he had a strong mind that persuasion or logic would not work, she closed her mouth.

“We have already sent someone to Eden. Good or bad, they will have consequences, so let’s listen and act on those consequences. “Our empire will actively support religious denominations, so you too can take the lead in punishing heretics.”

He openly proposed cooperation to the religious factions gathered here. In principle, if the Eden forces were truly those who received God’s protection, in fact, the denominations should not be hostile to them, but no one came forward and stated that principle.

‘I feel like I’m being used, but there’s nothing I can do about it. At this time, only if the religious powers of the entire continent, who have been wary of each other, unite as one, may they be able to withstand the oppression of the empire in the future.’

In the end, in a situation where Orca took the lead, she bit her lip and sighed softly.

“Queen, I have received word that the delegation has already passed the halfway point.”

“Let the troops depart. “After I find out their true purpose, I will decide whether to officially enter the city or not.”

When the delegation sent by Orca was penetrating the great forest. Having concluded the meeting and decided on his course of action, Serenian exited Eden and hastened back to the Great Forest.

She had no intention of letting a delegation whose intentions she did not yet understand enter Deneb, the city in the center of the Great Forest and where the World Tree exists.

I was planning to meet them before that and hear what they were aiming for. The problem is that it is impossible to keep the time even if you run the fairy ant at full speed.

“Let’s go, Rin.”

“Yes! Let’s go, Paru!”

So she got on the beetle, which was doing a great job. The beetle controlled by Lin immediately spread its wings and flew high into the sky, and Serenian rode on it and crossed the wide forest in a short period of time.

So, when she arrived, a small army of armed troops was already waiting for her on her fairy ant.

“They have already arrived in the northern city.”

“It’s a bit too much to make us wait, so let’s hurry.”

After meeting with Ruri, who was commanding the army, Serenian rode back on a fairy ant. Thanks to the scarab beetle and the well-made road, she left Eden and reached her destination in less than half a day.

“Did you hear anything?”

“They only say that they have come to convey the Emperor’s words, and that they cannot speak freely before meeting the Queen.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to hear it for myself.”

Serenian soon arrived in the city and went straight to meet them without stopping. As reported in advance, the delegation was made up of various races. A bronze-skinned woman, presumed to be an elf, was also with her, covering her body with a thin cloth.

“I heard that you have received orders from the human emperor.”

“Yes, Queen of the Forest.”

“I will listen.”

Serenian, who has just become an adult and thinks of himself as a child, is generally respectful of others, but since he has heard of the empire’s bad reputation from the beginning, Serenian is naturally wary of them. That was the reason why he was called a human emperor.

In fact, a middle-aged human man named Count Garian, who introduced himself as the representative of the delegation, did not show much agitation upon seeing Serenian’s attitude.

‘Are you really not thinking anything?’

Serenian used the power of the High Elves to examine his psychology until the brief moment of receiving the documents they brought, but they did not tell any lies.

He was really only doing his job as a messenger.

“The Emperor wants both groups to prosper together.”

“That’s funny. “Everyone already knows what the so-called New Empire is doing, led by the human regent Orca.”

Serenian, who read the document, snorted as if he had expected it. To sum up the contents of the document in one word, it is to bow down and come in.

The message was not simply to pay tribute, but to submit to the order they created. Serenian had already decided to reject this offer.

“It is for true peace. “Like those who came here together, even if we come from different races or where we live, we can get along as long as we make a little sacrifice.”

“Are they being coercive and violent to suit their tastes?”

“It is a necessary sacrifice.”

“As you may have noticed, we are those who are receiving the grace of the divine sky god.”

In the end, Serenian even said that name. For the first time, the envoy’s eyes wavered at the mention of the Sky God.

“We live and want to live within the order He created. “It is not an order created by a human regent.”

“Then let me meet you. “I want to know what the God of Heaven thinks of us.”

They offered to take them to Eden. At the same time, Serenian’s expression changed strangely.

‘Were you embarrassed as expected? Are we afraid that this god might recognize us? Or are you afraid that it will be revealed that you are lying? ‘There is no way there is a god who does not grant divine power.’

‘Are you confident?’

The Serenians and their thoughts intersected. They did not fully believe in the story of the Sky God and were mistaken about something, but Serenians, who could actually communicate directly with the Sky God, were only puzzled by their choice.
