Master Lex, I need a favor.

When I finished providing blacksmith technology to the dwarves and went out of the workshop, Sharaza asked me for help.

"Please...?"

"Well, actually, I'd like you to tell me how to make the Elixir you made the other day."

That's fine.

"No, I know. Elixir is also a legend for our elves.I want you to tell me how to make it, but it's a fact that even though it's so thick... eh!? Is it good?!? "

Yes, that's fine.

"I appreciate that, but is it really good?Elixir? Legendary medicine!? "

That's an exaggeration, but it's Elixir.

"Very well, nothing in particular to hide.But why suddenly? "

Sharaza and the others must be devoted to their role as warriors.Why were you interested in making medicine outside of your specialty?

"As Lex already knows, the locals are the survivors of the catastrophes of the past.At that time, the adults known at the time were wiped out and only the immature young survived.That's why we lost a lot of wisdom and skill. "

It was certainly caused by the White Disaster.

And now the monster has arrived.With the cooperation of Mr. Lex and others this time, the situation has improved, but you and others are short-lived people.You may not be able to borrow the same help next time.Therefore, we want to regain even a little of our lost wisdom and power! "

Well, for the sake of urgency, each and every one of you wanted to remember as much technology as possible.

And did you think it should be learned by the young elves who are currently studying in a progressive fashion and who are still responsible for the future of their homeland?

Hmm, I've been thinking a lot about backwards and home.That's the Warrior Commander!

"If that's the case, I'd be happy to help!"

"Thank you. Thank you very much, Lord Lex."

Sharaza lowers her head deeply to convey her gratitude.

"And I want to ask you one more thing.He wants us to know how to fight. "

How do you fight?

"Hmm, Lex and the others are far more powerful than us.That's why I think if we learn how to fight Lex, we'll still be able to deal with the monsters after they get back. "

I understand what Mr. Sharaza is trying to say, but I don't think I have anything to teach Elves.

"But I can't teach spiritual magic."

Yes, when it comes to fighting elves, it's spiritual magic.

Exercise its power by contracting with spirits that cannot be perceived by ordinary humans.

That is the greatest power of Elves, but I can't tell you because spiritual magic is not available to other species.

"I know, but I think there's something I can teach you because I'm from another species."

"It's the only way I can fight because I'm from another race...."

Well, that's what it is.

Spirit magic is the backbone of Elf's battle.

But that's why Elves are greatly weakened when Spirit Magic can no longer be used.

Sharaza wants me to know how to fight without relying on spiritual magic for such a scene.

That's Sharaza. You wanted the young warriors not to drown in the strength of Spirit Magic, and to have the power to rely on Spirit Magic in times of need!

Hmm, I knew Sharaza was good at raising people.

I'm a teacher! Someone who really thinks he's a subordinate, no, he's an elf!

If that's the case, I need your help!

"Alright, I'll take care of it!"

"Oh, will you help me!Thank you! Oh, yes. I forgot to mention, but don't worry, I have a separate reward for Elixir production and training. "

"No, if the survival rate of all of us is going to improve, it's a job."

"No, I've already benefited enough from the dwarves and the world's tree fields.We cannot allow you to bear any more of this burden.If we don't pay the right price, our elves will lose their pride. "

I really hope this man is disciplined.

But that's why I like it.

"Okay, if that's what you're talking about."

"Regarding the additional rewards, take what you want from the materials you can collect from the World Tree.Also, if Lex wishes, we will give priority to the materials obtained from the world trees even after the request is completed. "

Are you sure?

"Oh, I don't mind. We don't have any money from the outside world.I want you to pay with materials instead. "

The material of the world tree.

Most of the world's trees are made from materials other than monsters, but the amount of individual materials produced is small.

Not to mention the fact that this world tree is still small.

So if we offer it as a reward, maybe Sharaza and the others will be pretty cut off, too?

... Hmm, then I'll give fertilizer not only to the fields, but also to the world trees themselves.

That way, we'll not only get our rewards, but we'll also get enough for Sharaza and the others to spend... yes!

◆ Sharaza ◆

It happened in the middle of the night.

Gogogogogogogogogo!!

"Hey, what's up!?"

Surprised by the sudden and tremendous shake, I jumped out of bed and grabbed the weapon, and immediately jumped out of the house.

"Captain Sharaza!!"

The same men who came out of the house rushed to me.

"What the hell is going on!?"

"I don't know, but first get in touch with the ground fort.The monsters may attack in this earthquake. "

"Ha!!"

My men rushed to get in touch with the ground.

The earthquake is still going on, and everyone in the town is jumping out of the house in a hurry.

"What's going on!?"

When he looked at the voice, he saw Liliera and his companions.

"I don't know. Apparently there's been an earthquake, but we've never seen anything like it."

"This is the first earthquake that elves have experienced.I'm scared because I don't know how the monster works. "

"Warrior Captain! We have contact with the ground-based fortress!"

"How's the monster?"

"So far, there's no sign of the monster attacking."

"I see, but I still can't feel safe.There is a risk that this earthquake will destroy the house.Lead your people to safety. "

Ha!!

The earthquake continued afterwards, and we spent the night feeling anxious.

And finally, at dawn, we saw the tongue demonium.

"Chi, the ground is far away!?"

Yes, the ground was surprisingly far from our branch.

"What is this? Is the world tree so easy to grow?"

Not only were we surprised, but Liliera and the others were perplexed by the sight.

"No, I don't think so. At least the world trees in my memory don't grow so fast!"

Yes, this is the first time I've lived in centuries.

I think about why the world tree suddenly became huge.

"What the hell caused this? Why did the world trees suddenly begin to grow?Something that could make such a dramatic difference... ah! "

At that time, a young man's face came to mind in my head.

It seems that I wasn't the only one who thought of the scene, and Liliera and the others also turned blue and looked at us.

"I have an idea who caused this situation....."

"Strange encounter. Me too."

"I can think of one myself."

I see, so that's what this is all about... but why did you do such a thing...

Worried that his motives were incomprehensible, the door opened to the alternative to the inn he had rented to Lord Liliera and the others.

Phew, I'm still a little sleepy.

Master Lex. Apparently he's been asleep.

"Sir Lex, I need to ask you something."

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Sharaza.What do you want to hear? "

"That's it...."

I patrol slightly.

Would it be okay to do something suspicious to Lord Lex, who is working hard to protect this town?

In the first place, how can one person make a giant existence called the World Tree?

Kh! Ah! I am the guardian of my homeland!What to do without asking here!!

"Rex, what were you doing last night?Do you know anything about this state of the world trees!? "

Please, be innocent!

"Yesterday? Yesterday I was fertilizing trees around the world."

But, mercilessly, Master Lex confessed that he was involved in the matter.

Oh, you've grown quite a bit.

On the contrary, I am innocently delighted that the world tree has grown.

I don't know! I don't know what Lord Lex thinks!

I knew it was Lex.

"Hey, Mr. Lex, why did you grow the world tree?"

Liliera and the others did not hesitate to ask Lex about the situation.

Hey, what's the big reason?

"Oh, is that so, for Sharaza's reward?"

"" "" Compensation? ""

What do you mean, ours?

"Yesterday, when you asked me to train the Elves, you said you'd pay with materials."

I did say that.

"They also promised to give us materials as a matter of priority."

Yeah, we talked about that.

But you and Lord Lex go on.

"But this immature world tree can't refine a huge amount, so if you provide us with the ingredients, the people in our village won't be able to use them.That's why I thought that by growing the world's trees and increasing the amount of material we harvest, we could secure the local people's share of the material even if we provided it. "

I see, that's how you enlarged the world tree...

"That's it!?"

Yeah!? That's why you grow the world tree!?

Isn't there a better reason!? Why is it so important that you dared to grow your hometown to protect it from monsters!?

Did you accomplish the feat of growing the world tree for just that reason!?

"Is that the only reason?"

Yes, that's it.

Yes! That's not really a big reason!!

Thus, Master Lex grew the world tree in an instant.

... ah, thank you for thinking about us.I'm trying to... explain something to the elders.

I wonder if you can explain the situation and believe me.
