Lesson 19: The Truth About Fairyland
“Why do you think my concubine did something?”
“At least, I don't know if this world is artificial or man-made, but I think it was created by some kind of force.”
Shortly after it became clear that the root was the cause, Melissa dug up the soil around the God Tree and Silvia was helping her.
As a result, several white cotton-like objects were found near the root.
According to Melissa, who is familiar with alchemy, and Silvia, who personally grows plants, it seems that the stress caused by being forced into another environment is the cause of the illness.
In other words - damage caused by planting trees.
I don't know if ordinary plant diseases apply to the divine tree that God supposedly planted. However, it may be applicable.
"...... Let's tell the old story a little bit"
Aruba's mouth tells the story of a magic disaster that is not commonly known. But some of those who hear know that it is not a legend, but that it has actually happened.
The beginning was that there was a malfunction in the communication with the distance. At that time, a technique was established that could use magic power to communicate with distant places.
I can't take it for granted anymore.
Gradually, there was a shortage of energy from the magic that supported my life.
It was not until it was too late that people realized the severity of the disaster. The only option left to humans was to go to the labyrinth prepared by the gods and dive underground, or die on the ground where the anomaly came from.
"My concubine was the queen who ruled a country."
"Wait... are you the person at the time!?"
Aruba nods to my question.
I could not help but be surprised because I knew important information such as inheriting the memory of the time in some way, and I thought only to a certain extent.
Miel also kept her mouth open because she was surprised. Even the fairy in fairyland didn't know that Aruba lived that long.
"Don't worry, only my concubine has lived since then."
Even the Elves can't survive that long.
Among the fairies, a special blessing works.
"This is a curse for the concubine who tried to use the god tree."
Curse?
"Do you know how the god tree was planted?"
Speaking of which, I don't know.
All I know is that the Divine Tree is intended to cleanse the environment and that God planted it.
Who and for what purpose?
I thought it would be enough to know that.
"By that time, people had fallen one after another. You have to rely on old tools to see the distance, and you have to look with your naked eye."
People were struggling in a situation where civilization was going to die.
People looking for something to hope for saw a meteorite falling from the sky once every few days.
What appeared to be the meteorite was the seed that germinated the god tree.
Where the seed fell, a giant crater was created, and the Divine Tree grew to its current size in a few days after absorbing the magical power caused by the magic disaster. That is how we began to purify the surrounding environment.
The scholars advised the queen that they should use the binoculars to see the sight, and the queen accepted the report.
"Little by little, the seeds of the god tree fell in the land of concubines." However, the place where it fell was far away from the capital. "
Scholars who were calculating the location before the crash.
In that place, it becomes difficult to use it.
That's why I decided to move it.
Go to the crash site and dig around the God Tree, which has just begun to germinate and begin to grow its roots, and move it close to the capital.
Growing up near the capital, Shinobi began to purify the environment with the momentum of reclaiming the civilization of the past.
Everyone smiled joyfully.
Now we may be able to regain our former glory.
"But I shouldn't have let humans move God's trees on their own."
The people who fell from the time when the god tree was fully grown continued to emerge.
After being purified and filled with high-purity magic power, the flesh can't be applied to it, and it falls down.
It was the Elves who forced me to apply it.
God placed the tree away from the human sphere of life. That's because we knew this was going to happen from the beginning. The Arubans have moved it to a convenient location for themselves to use.
"I deserved it. I can't help it, but that's not all the concubines did when they didn't know anything about it."
With valuable materials, some scholars have tried to find ways to efficiently clean the environment.
I didn't find any way to do the divine tree itself.
However, by limiting the range to which the Divine Tree's power is applied with Spatial Magic , it succeeded in increasing its efficiency.
The magic that kept staying in a certain space didn't just evolve humans into elves, it also raised them to the level of fairies.
That was the secret of the fairy's birth.
In addition, the land that was under the influence of the god tree was dragged into the distortion of space and time to shape the world where the fairy town is now.
"By the time I realized it, my concubine's country had turned into a locked world like this."
Many of the people Aruba wanted to keep alive died from the effects of turning into fairies.
Only a young woman could stand it.
That's why I relied on the Divine Tree with the young female scholars who survived, so that a new life could be born from the Divine Tree.
The country is dead, but only the people who live there want to live.
"The fairy township is such a world because the concubines, who were all queens, used the god tree sent to cleanse the world for themselves." And this body is the punishment for its sins. "
Fairies besides Aruba, like elves, reach a lifespan of about 200 years.
However, Aruba alone lived thousands of years in its old form. Even if I wanted to choose death by becoming a fairy, I didn't know how I could die, so I had to live a hellish life.
She is leaning down with her forehead under her hand.
She could not explain the situation to a fairy of her own. I've always regretted it, so I wanted to tell someone, but what I said won't change the lives of the fairies.
"Well then, that phagocytic ant..."
Fairyland was even bigger at first.
The Divine Tree was a device for purifying the world.
In contrast, the world with fairy towns is too narrow.
The world itself could not withstand the magical power that was too pure, and gradually collapsed.
That's when the rate of collapse accelerated.
The means chosen by Divine Tree was to devour the magic power created by the monsters and drain it even a little.
For this purpose, the [Corrosive Ant] was prepared.
That ant was created by a shrine tree, and it was harmful to the fairy homeworld.
"That's right...!"
Miel slams the table hard.
Many of my people fell to the ants after a few days of raiding. However, it was the god tree that the fairy believed in that it wanted a phagocytic ant to exist.
"Why didn't you tell me!"
"It's pointless when I tell you." Divine Tree judged the fairy to be in the way and decided to destroy it. However, the concubines and fairy could not live without the protection of the god tree. The same goes for the concubines cursed by the god tree. If you destroy the god tree, the ant invasion will stop, but in a few hours it will die. "
The Elves are a stronger protector than I am. However, it was too strong, and if I stayed away from the tree, I would die.
He invited us to give up on Miel.
Well then, it's about time I explained.
What?
I'll prepare a way for the fairy to survive without destroying the god tree.
"That's not true..."
Instead, let me add my hand to the reward because the request will change.
