The lush foliage spreads out into the sky as soon as sunlight passes, and the monsters of insects larger than cows are fighting for their territory and eating or eating. The smell of green is deep, and it is likely to enter through pores called pores.

The world tree is at the height of summer.

"... this is the world tree"

Ferrill is overwhelmed and Aalim seems silent.

"Yes, this is the world tree. It is a heterogeneous environment even in a world made of a single big tree."

Unfold the walls of magic and push through the thick leaves.

The dwarves who manage the World Tree use exactly what we used to do in the past.

Melissa and Zette, who have finished their work, returned after boiling tea and waiting at the base.

"Huh? Did you say you're coming today?"

"Oh, Melissa, thank you. Let me use this at the Komulo Company meeting."

"Well, that's good, but ... what are those dwarf daughters?"

Melissa notices Ferry and Aalim.

"What is a group of dwarf women just in this dangerous environment?"

"Teachers, these guys?"

Ferrill looks at and hears Melissa and the caretakers of World Tree.

"These women are the caretakers of Sekaiju. They're beautiful, aren't they pretty? They're overwhelmingly strong. These are the dwarf women in the Southern Hemisphere you've wanted to meet."

"What are you doing? Isn't it praising me? Naoki, did you do something again?"

"A little debt in the land of the brave ... No, let me introduce you to the dwarf daughters who grew up in the Northern Hemisphere, a sister of Ferry and Aalim, who is a blood scholar in the Arctic continent. Arim is a magic shop that made magic tools that could destroy every town. "

"teacher!"

Arim is sick.

"It's such a good magician."

"Well, it's excellent. I'm glad. He lived well in the Northern Hemisphere. Wouldn't he have been discriminated against or ridiculed?"

"Because it is a rare race in the Northern Hemisphere, a little ..."

"This is the first time I have seen so many dwarves at once."

Eight dwarves manage the world tree. There are more in the village.

"I'm glad. I'm not glad that I could reunite the same race that I couldn't meet across the equatorial wall."

Melissa repeatedly said, "I'm happy."

"I'm sorry. Aunt is a crybaby ..."

Melissa wiped the tears in her eyes, and Ferry and Arim were hugged. So Melissa's lacrimal gland collapsed.

The dwarves were embracing each other to confirm their existence. It was the moment the dwarves, separated by the equatorial wall, met again for the first time in 1000 years.

"What magic did you use? That Melissa is crying."

When I got out of the base to make it only for the dwarves, Black Dragon's older brother, Zette, called out.

"Did you not cry during work?"

"Oh, that girl is as strong as iron, astute, no hesitation. People are not living on one side."

"Yes, how about? Have you got used to working at Sekaiju?"

"I can eat my stomach. Dwarf's daughters are pleasant workers. It's good to interact with people."

Since Zette has been building for 1000 years, he may be interested in the work of people.

"If you weren't afraid of being killed by people like you are now, would you like to know more about the world today?"

"Do you co-exist with the people you said before? Look at the world as well as the world tree? I'm blind."

"That's why I want you to feel the world with your skin. No, let's be honest. I need Zet's power in my plan. Could you help me?"

"Do you mean going to the world in the process?"

"That's it."

"Don't listen to the plan."

"I'll talk later at a meeting"

"all right"

After that, it was exciting to talk about the fruit that came to bite that it is now season, Kam Fruit.

"Huh?

Zetto suddenly turned overhead.

"What is that? A dragon ball of that size ..."

Giant Zette is scared. What happened?

After a while, Bersa and Black Dragon came to the base with a round magic stone about 3 meters in diameter.

"Bad, late?"

Bersa asked.

"No, I haven't started yet. Now that the dwarves have met again for the first time in 1000 years."

"Yes, it was good."

Bersa and Black Dragon smelled the sea.

"My brother, is that magic stone a dragon ball? Who is it ...?"

"Probably the founder princess ..."

"No way, no ..."

Black Dragon and Zette are silent.

As the sun began to fall, the Melissas took Arims to dwarf settlements.

"Please contact me again if there is anything"

"Thank you"

We forgot Melissa and we entered the base. KuroRyu and Zette became humanoid due to the magic of humanization, and seven people, including our employees, surrounded the table.

"Let's hear Versa's report first. I'm worried about the stupid magic stone outside."

"Okay, then, from the report of Antarctica. In the summer of Antarctica, moss and lichens were thriving as in the Arctic continent, but the sea was more amazing than that. The seaweed forest was widespread, small demons gathered, and there were many animals of the sea animals. ''

A strange word for a sea animal is that no magic stone is in the body. That sounds to my ears who understand the language of this world with language skills.

"How did you dive into the sea?"

"Why don't we cover our bodies with the wall of magic? The more you dive, the more water pressure will be applied, but it's not a big deal for us. Well, there was a rich environment on the seabed anyway. Then, I found that big magic stone. That is what is called a dragon ball, isn't it? "

Bersa was asking Black Dragon.

"Yes. The dragons are the balls that store their magical power. Originally, the dragons have more magical power than other monsters. Without magic, they accumulate in the body and become sick. Sometimes it's a small stone that uses the magic of its body to make it. "

"Is that the big magic stone you got from the Red Dragon?"

I asked Black Dragon. The red dragon's magic stone was about one barrel, but the magic stone outside was many times that number.

"Oh, yes, because I was always withdrawn, but the size of the dragon ball was all over the Antarctic waters."

"The moss was growing on the surface, but I remember the slime when I came to the southern hemisphere. The big magic stones can not swallow the monsters. The reason why the Antarctic sea is green is that magic stones Moss and seaweed grew up, but the question remains of who made that dragon ball. "

"It is impossible for our brothers to make such a large dragon ball."

"As a result of a survey of the surrounding area, I could see a mountain a little away from the seaweed forest."

"Is it a mountain?"

Seth asked Versa.

"Oh, the gentle mountain on the seabed. It pulsated as I approached. The surface of the mountain was covered with scales, and there were stone pillars around the seabed. I think it's a trace of something social. "

"The scale resembled that of a dragon."

Mr. Kuro-ryu said, and Zetto muttered like "Muh ... after all".

"Is that a giant dragon sleeping on the seabed?"

"The total length of the mountain is about three kilometers. It's so large, just visible, that a dragon bigger than the mountain is alive and buried under the sea. I'm not curious about how I'm breathing, how I'm feeding, how I can reproduce, why I'm buried under the sea, but one of the "seven mysteries" is a hint Taught me. "

"Is it" the bride sleeping on the seabed? "

"That's it"

Black Dragon answered.

"How do you tell that mystery among people?"

"Even among the adventurers, isn't it just like 'The newly married bride is trapped on the seabed'? Unlike" World Tree Fruit, "there should have been no information ..."

Ayr, a former adventurer's guild instructor, replied.

"Yes, that's a legend from the dragon tribe. A long time ago, a bride married to the king of the demons shed herself to stop the runaway of the dragon vein. Sleeping, but the soulless princess gave birth to a child, she was covered in scales, had tremendous magic, and lived longer than all races.

"Even the dragons didn't believe that story. Did you find it?"

When Zetto asked Black Dragon, he nodded slowly.

"Probably that dragon ball was made by the bride who stopped the dragon vein, and the size and quantity can be explained."

Black Dragon told Zet.

"The dragon vein was written by Wu Shu's teacher. It's a catastrophic event when it's disturbed. We found it when we went underground."

I asked Versa.

"Yes, it's a huge flow of magic underneath that."

"That dragon bride is stopping that flow?"

That's not too much magic. It can only be done by dragons.

"And it looks like the dragon veins are passing through this star several times. Check the map for accidents and incidents involving magic."

As Bertha says, we spread the maps of the places Ayl drew and made a world map on the table.

"A magic pound in the demons or a snowfield in the land of fire?"

"And probably the mountains around the Melmo's home in the world tree of the elf country."

Isle said.

"What? My home is like that?"

"It's a place where chimeras are more likely to occur. Perhaps Mermo's dad killed a new kind of chimera and went up."

Melmo was stunned at the shocking fact, "That's right."

"I'm sorry, it was a painful memory.

Ayle said, "No, I'm glad I found the cause."

"Does that mean that suddenly a huge monster is also involved in the dragon vein?"

Seth asked Versa.

"Maybe it is"

"Then, large monsters often appear near the Marina Port in Alice Fey."

"It's possible because the dragon vein runs deeper than the seabed."

"Isn't that because Marquez's dungeon was close?"

I put my mouth between Seth and Versa.

"I thought I was growing huge with growth agents, but that couldn't explain the massive outbreak of Echissen. On the contrary, I could explain it because of the dragon vein."

"Check the dragon's habitat. It is said that dragons naturally live on dragon veins."

Zet opened his mouth.

"When it comes to dragon islands, so do the volcanoes where Red Dragons were."

"Dragon's daughters are often in the wasteland wilderness."

Black Dragon told me.

"Apart from the rest, you can see that the dragon vein flows north-south when you connect the nearby ones. It is natural, but if you draw a line from north to south, you will head to the Arctic continent. What is at the intersection ...

Looking at the intersection of the dragon veins on a map, there was a Polar base.

"Is it a dungeon of light spirits?"

"Yes. At the starting point of the dragon vein, there is a dungeon made by the spirit of light.

"So, at the end point? Maybe ..."

I asked Versa afraid.

"Connect the straight line from the dragon vein in the Northern Hemisphere to the location of the reservoir in the Southern Hemisphere."

The current world tree is also connected with a line. The location of the giant slime is also depicted on the Isle map. And the dungeon made by the devil of the earth.

Where the lines intersect in the Southern Hemisphere is the sea of Antarctica.

"After all. If the starting point of the dragon vein is the dungeon of the spirit of light, the end point is" the bride sleeping on the seabed. "However, during the last 1000 years, the dragon vein was stopped by the equatorial wall created by the spirit of space. I think it didn't reach the Southern Hemisphere. ''

"why?"

"I was a little far from the bride's mountain from the large amount of dragonballs falling on the seabed, and there were no dragonballs around. And how much evil god was rampant and created a magic pool on the ground, Isn't it strange that the magical power disappears from the monster that is there? "

Animals that do not respond to detection skills live in the southern hemisphere. If magic is flowing underground, it seems strange that monsters disappear from the sea.

"Wait a minute. So, right now, the magical power from the dragon vein is heading towards the undersea bride?"

That's not too much magic.

"No, that's funny. If the equatorial wall stopped the dragon, how did we get back and forth in the southern hemisphere? The dungeon made by the devil in the earth is also on the dragon, right?"

Seth asked Versa.

"What did the devil in the earth have when we first went from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere?"

Bersa asked everyone.

"The dungeon core passed by the evil god. The dungeon core can create a real-world subspace. Were we going back and forth between the northern and southern hemispheres?"

When I answered, Bersa said, "Well, it's just a hypothesis."

"From the position of the dragon ball and the appearance of the moss on it, I just imagined it, but it's true that the dragon bride hasn't made a dragon ball recently. Isn't that dangerous? "

"It's dangerous, because the magic of the dragon vein is concentrated, but it is stored in the body without releasing the magic."

If the dragon bride continues to accumulate magical power as it is, he will eventually die. When this happens, the dragon vein will be disturbed and a catastrophic event will occur.

Everyone who was there turned pale. The only one, I was thinking differently.

"But, why not just raise the magic from the dragon veins and use it?"
