In a World Filled with Deserts, an Old Man with Electronic Money

"Marilyn, prawns are delicious."

I see. The food Taro buys is delicious. "

"Um... can the Spirit of the Sea eat seafood?

Marilyn and Urilin seem to have gotten used to living in the castle for the most part, and today they enjoyed the set of seafood that I bought in Online Shopping.

It was a sashimi set of fine seafood, but they ate it with nothing to eat, and I accidentally asked what it was like to be a sea spirit.

There's nothing wrong with that.

"All creatures feed other creatures and circulate the world. It doesn't mean you shouldn't eat it."

"But you two are spirits, right?

We cannot live without eating other creatures, but they are spirits.

You can live without drinking or eating, and you haven't eaten anything before.

"We live forever, so we have time to do this."

"Besides, we don't eat sea creatures in this world either. Bucha, Taro's purchases are from other worlds of creatures and are not under our jurisdiction."

Taro, I don't care about the details.

I don't know because it's not our jurisdiction.

To the two spirits who said so, I felt a certain cleanliness.

"The Southwestern Tribal Union is gaining momentum as Katu Grand Chiefs and new tribes gather."

"Great Khatu, this is a token of my greetings."

"The development around the world trees is also going well, so we have to emigrate as well. This is a greeting."

I am at the top of the country called the "Southwestern Tribal Union".

Although it is a complete decoration, it seems that the information that the Far South Sea and its surrounding areas are the safe haven for desert elves jumped between them, and the tribes that were wandering the deserts around the world in mobile cities continued to gather.

They have a mobile city on the coast, sending extra people around the world's trees.

So I often come to greet them, but dealing with them was my few tasks.

"Speaking of which, how many tribes are desert elves?

"That's right... it's hard to grasp the mobile cities in other countries, so it's probably about 500. At the moment, 87 tribes have gathered."

Mr. Bijour, who led the greetings, answered my question.

Since it was the first 48 tribes, it increased all at once in a short period of time.

Besides, it still seems to be gathering.

"I don't think it all comes together. Some tribes have penetrated the heights."

Others have good relationships with human oasis and do not feel the benefits of moving cities to this point.

"Anyway, our desert elves got a home called the South West Tribal Union. If there are any troubled compatriots, it will be acceptable, so there will be no problem."

Rather, the size of the current territory may make all 500 tribes unacceptable.

Do we need to expand survival?

"Actually, there were other tribes that kept the seedlings of the world trees, and now we're choosing a place to plant them. Planting trees around the world makes it easier to dig wells because the surrounding land is fertile and groundwater gathers."

"Even the most powerful trees in the world died when ancient civilizations collapsed?"

"There's a lot of evidence of how people used too much water back then. It took more than 8,000 years to finally recover."

"Did you recover from this desert alone....."

Was it worse than it used to be?

"Full ambient fusion, the driving force of mobile cities, should transform water into other materials. It is presumed that ancient civilizations took too much water because of the inefficient atmospheric fusion in the early days, and destroyed the world by desertification. It is strange that the water that should have disappeared is resurrecting through groundwater."

"We have heard that the Spirit is gradually resurrecting water."

Oh, yeah.

"Taro is also familiar with the phenomena that made ancient civilizations a beauty and caused their collapse."

"Oops! Aren't you the Spirit!

"Are you sure you can communicate with the Spirit Master Katu?

"Here comes the High Elves!

Marilyn and Urilin show up here, but this is like a ritual that is always performed when new entrants come to greet each other.

Like a desert elf, just like a human.

Some tribes aspire to effective control of the "Southwestern Tribal Union".

Since civil unrest is troublesome, it is the first ritual to show my power as a great chief.

Even if it's called my power, it's just a calm voice, so I don't really feel it.

"It will take time to recover the water that the ancient humans wiped out."

"It'll take more than 10,000 years, lightly."

In ancient civilizations, complete ambient nuclear fusion had been an energy source for only about 200 years.

It took about 100 times longer to recover the water that had disappeared in 200 years, which was the moment when I realized that it was difficult to restore the environment.

"High Elves had far more power than our desert elves. However, it is believed that the small number and longevity of certain things are low in fertility and have been destroyed with the collapse of ancient civilizations. Our desert elves are a species that corresponds to the Great Desert after the collapse of ancient civilization. It can be said that it evolved from a high elf, but it is also true that it seems very unlikely."

High-specific, long-lived, yet difficult to have children.

Magic and technology outweigh humans and reproduction is the same as humans, but luxurious and physically robust desert elves are inferior to humans.

Overall, it was difficult to decide which was better.

"We are in the process of selecting a place to plant the world's trees, so please help us in doing so."

"Okay."

If left unchanged, the world tree will take a huge amount of time to grow.

However, given the huge amount of fertilizer and water, it grows faster, so I need the fertilizer I bought in my online shopping.

Now if you'll excuse me.

By the end of the spectacle, today's work as a great chief is over.

But I also have a face as a merchant.

This time, we flew to Shipland with the labels and "move the base".
