"World Tree Forest......?
The fact that there is a world tree must mean that this is Alheim. But I don't know these woods.
Around Alheim there should have been a meadow through which a pleasant breeze could pass.
This creepy forest, it's not in my memory.
The world tree itself feels kind of evil.
"What, they're even taking away memories about this forest"
"Remember... what exactly am I, deprived of my memory?
"It's a world tree. Think of it as a miracle you lost your memory and survived."
A world tree takes away the memory of an elf?
Is that true?
"Dillon,"
"Dillon is fine. What?"
"Wow, okay. Bye, Dillon. Why are you here?
"Probably the same as you. I'm here to fetch the fruit of the world tree."
"The fruit of the world tree?
"My son Cyrus has Vimlis disease. He led his men to this point for the cure."
Vimlis disease is a disease that occurs only in the Elves, and those who have taken it will die in a few months.
The only disease that drives an elf to death that lives thousands of years and has high resistance to disease and curse.
But Vimlis disease was already gone in my time. Because all elves now have antibodies to the disease.
"You Coolindia say the chief suffered from Vimlis disease. Maybe you're here to get the fruit of the world tree for that cure."
I see......
I'll leave my setup to Soyu.
If you listen to me, Dyron has come this far with his people, but his people have been attacked by demons from the World Tree Forest and exterminated except for Dyron.
If you look closely, Dillon also had scratches all over his body.
"Dillon. Do you still not give up the fruit of the world tree if you lose your people?
"Naturally! My son is a lightning fire for the Elves. Whatever you do, I'll help!! And... you can't waste the lives of my men who followed me."
He had a determined eye.
Alone, you don't seem to be willing to run away.
"... ok. I still don't remember, but I'll help you get the fruit of the world tree."
I can go back to the original world if this forest demon kills me, but Rifa's father - that is, my stepfather - is dying, so I decided to help Dillon.
"Well... then let me rely on that power and good fortune that survived this far even as I lost my memory. Ernol."
"Yes."
Then I turned to Dillon and the World Tree and used amnesia as an excuse to hear a lot about the World Tree and Elves.
It seems that the world tree of this era was a being that kept humans away. But Silf, the incarnation of the world tree, is the Spirit King who makes friends with humans.
With Silf, she said it was also possible to obtain the fruit of the world tree in negotiations with her, but she was now in the midst of raw (...) left (...) weird (...) right (...).
Approximately a hundred years after Silf's rebirth, he will not be able to approach the world tree of any race, beginning with the elves.
But only at that time, Vimlis disease, which kills the Elves, is said to occur.
In addition, the Elves of this era had no settled land and were a species wandering around the world persecuted by people.
"If we get close to the world tree, they'll take away memories, won't they?
"That's right. You don't even know what you were doing or where this place is, and if you realize it, you'll be attacked by demons in the woods. Those who are terrible will be killed without any resistance to demons because even the knowledge of battle will disappear"
Shit, world tree. Seriously!
Was it such a dangerous tree?
In our garden, it grows normally...
Speaking of which, I also gave it to Miu.
Should I recover it?
"If memories are erased, how do you pick fruit?
"For those who seek the fruit of the world tree, the tree gives some sort of test. If we can clear it, we can get the fruit..."
"If I fail, I lose my memory..."?
"That's the thing. Perhaps you, too, failed once."
Oh, yeah...
World trees do things like Sphinx.
"But you're still good. Losing your memory means you can reach the world tree, at least."
Oh, well.
Dyron is losing his people in this forest.
For the elves of this era, it's hard to reach the world tree.
I'm supposed to have gone all the way to the World Tree.
Well, should I decide that I have amnesia and I don't even remember the trials that were put out?
It doesn't seem like much of a problem when it comes to following Dillon.
"Okay. I don't remember the World Tree Trial, but I think it could be a force for war."
Even if I was reincarnated with the curse of the Evil God, I remember the sword moves I wore when I was a champion brave.
I also remember all the moves Tina taught me.
Besides, this elf's body was pretty well worked out, and I had a Mithrill sword on my hips that the elves liked to use.
So I can fight.
The problem is that the world tree is coming out.
You can't make me lose my memory of Dyron.
Rifa's, because he's my grandfather.
To help Cyrus (stepfather), we must definitely complete the trial.
There are other reasons why I have to protect Dillon.
Because he is a necessary man for the Elves.
Trial of the World Tree, what is it like?
With that in mind, I proceeded with the Dyron and the World Tree Forest.
─ ─ ─ ─
"Ernore, you're really strong."
As we approached the world tree, the demons that attacked us became strong and numerous, but the two of us, me and Dillon, didn't have a problem.
"Dillon too. You're the strongest elf I know."
Isn't it stronger than Salion?
I mean, maybe...
"Dillon said his people were wiped out, but you didn't bring any of them in the first place, did you?
Strong enough, he can't destroy any of his people without helping them.
"Hmm? Oh, well. Do you understand... yes. I've come this far by myself."
... I knew it.
"I'm sorry. If I tell you I can't pull back because my people are dead, I think you can help me. Let's apologize for lying."
"Fine. There's something I can't tell you."
"Really... is that something to do with your strength, Ernore?
"Well, that's the place"
I don't think you suspect anything about amnesia.
"Is obtaining the fruit of the world tree good with the realization that you can help me stay this way?
"No problem"
"Thanks. I'll change the story, but if you get the fruit of the world tree safely, why don't you serve me? This still brings the clan together. And of course, Coolindia will be fully compensated, and in the first place..."
"Are you going to bring all the Elves together?
"Hey, why did you do that?!?"
Cyrus was the first Elf King to unite the Elves scattered all over the world and build a kingdom called Alheim beneath the world tree.
Because it's in Elf's history book, even children know it in Alheim.
I also married the Princess of Alheim, so I studied about the history of the country.
"Why not? But I think Dillon can do that."
I mean, I know I can do it, so naturally.
"If you get the fruit of the world tree and I can live, I'll help you."
I have to die, break the curse, and go back to my old days.
And I have no instinct right now.
And yet, I somehow felt like it, and I promised to help Dillon.
