"- Doctor, born!
"Hold on, Dr. Glass!
"Huh..."
Returning to me, my right hand was touching the trunk of the great tree in front of me.
The mood that filled the area is infinitely diminished. So, I guess the two of you, Mr. Presha and Mr. Diete, could have gotten to me.
"Good... I keep touching this tree and it won't move forever"
"... Dr. Glass stopped this temper?
"No... this god tree stopped me. The erosion of the land will also, for a little while, stop. Demonized plants don't attack people anymore."
"Are you sure...? Good... but for a little while, that doesn't mean it's going to be a fundamental solution..."
"That's it...... I have to go back to the fortress and ask Chief Raquel for something. If the power returns to this divine tree, the dead land can regain its vitality… In order to do so, we will need the cooperation of His Highness Astina"
When I give His Highness's name, the two captains turn into nervous faces. That alone raised the depth of respect for His Highness Astina.
"What does this have to do with being a royally controlled garden?
"What... Mr. Diete, how do you know?
"This is an analogy from previous information. This giant tree rises at the very bottom of this garden… it is believed that it was a symbol of this garden. Dr. Glass touched this giant tree… probably had a dialogue"
"You're right. This Divine Tree Eusericis was once worshipped as God. But in the circumstances, every garden was abandoned… I almost lost my power as a god"
We look up overhead - once a stunning branch, cracks in the bark, black moss growing to erode the trunk.
"Master Glass, look, the leaves... eh"
"Eh... this is..."
Mr. Rendle tells me to react aggressively and take the leaves that have fallen.
- Even though the Divine Tree withers, and there is not a single other leaf. The leaves in my hand were small, but they were glowing green.
Not only in illusions, but in reality, we were able to regain our power only marginally. I have to believe even harder when this god tree comes back to life. Believe that thought will heal this Divine Tree at all.
"... this tree is alive. No... you responded to Mr. Glass's thoughts."
"No, it's not at all enough for me to believe. I want one person to believe me... that this tree will definitely come back. I wish I could put this garden back where it used to be."
"Well, I'll pray for you, too. I've prayed to all the gods of battle, so I don't know if there's a way..."
"It's more important that you just don't lie to your heart than the way you did it. That's what faith is."
Mr. Diete prays hand in hand. Mr. Presha, I'll imitate it - and so will we.
The Divine Tree answers nothing. But I always believed that if I didn't forget what I just prayed for, that would be the power to support the Divine Tree.
◆ ◇ ◆
Not only did the erosion of the gray land cease, but it was' retreating ', albeit slightly.
The man who was about to abandon his house and move to another land, when he saw us back, rushed over and bowed his head.
"How can I thank you all... the grey soil, which was on the spreading side, is about to come back to normal. The crops that were still safe suddenly came alive..."
The stopping temper that had been pouring out of the woods had immediately had a good effect on the crop. I got my hands off the carriage, and I've been thanked many times.
"If the gray soil keeps stopping, the crop will grow safely until harvest. That way we won't have to leave this house."
"If you can harvest it, you can sell it to our fortress as well, as a little bit. Food is scarce anyway..."
"There is no such thing as selling, there is no price when delivering what you have harvested. Thanks to the Knights, we can live without fear of Zirconia. If you're putting us farmers together, it's always been said."
The person who keeps that farmer together would mean a luxury family who used to be autonomous around here and is now under the asylum of the kingdom. Once you can make contact, you might be able to ask what you're building on farmland around here and talk to them about how they might be able to make new herbs.
Above all, the first step is to revive the Divine Tree. One or two, we need to increase the number of people who believe in us.
"There's one thing I need you to do to restore this gray soil back to its original form."
"Yes, if there's anything I can do... family, no, relatives, let me work with you on anything"
"Thank you. It's not so burdensome, I want you to pray for that forest. If God in that place could regain his power, this neighborhood would be more prosperous... so could you pray with us"
"In that place, God... oh, I thought we shouldn't be near that place though. That was because you touched God's wrath... you've lived in this land for a long time, but you didn't know anything. Really embarrassing......"
"Even now, it's not too late. Everything goes back to normal... no, more than it was, the land around here should be better"
Mr Presha and Mr Diete are already praying for the woods. The man brought a family of as many as ten in total, and they all prayed with us.
We can't have the Toyota Festival right away. But with His Highness Astina, we can inform all the inhabitants of the Western territories - he wants us to pray to a fruitful God.
That way, I'm sure, the Divine Tree Euselisis will regain his original appearance. If there was a God who once led the kingdom to victory, the current situation of not knowing when it would be attacked from Zirconia could also be changed.
- No, I have to change it. If we use our power for the people, rather than shrinking our hearts in battle, neither Mr. Presha nor Mr. Diete will have to overlap the worry of killing people.
"... Shall we pray in the morning, evening and not forget? Dr. Glass, if it's me and Presha's unit, I'll follow your instructions whenever I can."
"Yeah, me too. It would be best if I could convince my Raquel sister... I hate magic, I don't know if I can handle it... Ah. Speaking of magic, Mr. Rendle, what the hell did you do when you caught up with your teacher from behind?
"To Master Glass, let me provide you with magic. Because I'm also magically smug."
Mr. Rendle split his magic so I could take the last step to Daiki.
- Really, is it? Even if magicians can share their magic powers with each other, they are considered very inefficient. Each magician, the nature of magic is not the same, and the magic of others is scarcely available without being of blood clan.
(Mr. Rendle is close to me and the nature of magic... no. Didn't he use magic to keep you from getting distracted...?
"Hmm, I knew it was. Hey, that magic crystal, can I have it now?
"You're surprisingly healthy to earn Dr. Glass points for doing that."
"Well, that's not it...... I'm grateful to Dr. Glass, so that's about it...... hey, hey! You don't believe me at all, that face!
"Pfft... you've had an unexpected stakeout since Dr. Glass arrived. Me and you."
Mr. Presha's magic is also certainly available if accumulated in magic crystals. But using too much heterosexual magic causes problems that I can't say out loud - which is something I should deal with at my own risk, so I decided not to mention it for now.
