The world tree. It is the divine tree that governs the power of this world.

The tree is the centerpiece of the vein that runs through the ground of this star and seems to help the circulation of mana materials around the world.

The center of the pulse is where the world's most mana material accumulates. The Mana Materials were filled with powerful Phantom Beasts and Demon Beasts.

In order to protect the ancient spiritual man from those who tried to exploit the tree, he built a country around the world tree and used his superior magic technology to reject the intruder. That is the predecessor of the current Yggdra, and since then, the Selenians have assumed the role of guardians of the world tree.

A garden in the heart of Yugudra. Selen Yugdora Frestel, the queen of Yugdora's spirits, continues to talk as she looks up at the towering world tree in a beautiful square with sparkling spring water flowing through it.

“The power of Mana Materials is not a simple life enhancement. Humans, animals, and plants can degenerate when they absorb large quantities of Mana Materials. We [Spirit Man] have a low absorptive power in Mana Materials, so we are less susceptible to the influence of Mana Materials. Therefore, I was able to get closer to the tree of the world than anyone else. Well, the Mana Materials are not going to have any impact.”

"I see...... that static magic power is the result of years of exposure to Mana Materials"

Lapis says helplessly somewhere. It appears that they are not the only ones disrespecting humans.

Serene frowned at the cold words from her peers.

“This is just a trait. Among the Spirits, especially those with low abilities to absorb Mana Materials were selected as Guardians. Even those with low absorptive capacity and high magical qualities -- apparently, the humans there lacked my power--"

Selen turns her gaze to us. I didn't say anything like that... because if you think about it normally, I don't think it was the spirits that swallowed it.

Why isn't the princess of this world sitting still in her castle, like Her Royal Highness Princess Mullina?

Selen turned away from his gaze, pretending not to notice Selen's gaze, and Selen turned her gaze back to Lapis.

"Well, that's fine." Lapis Furgol. It seems you have something to say to me. ”

"Hmm. Well, that's a good opportunity." Let me confirm that I've always cared about it....... Is there any reason why, while conveying faith in the tree of the world, you shut most of your compatriots out of Yggdra and restrict their entry? "

"You've cracked down on the majority of my countrymen...?"

The voice was quiet, but it was definitely strong. I thought you cared so much about cursed stones, but there seemed to be a lot of them among the Spirits.

Lapis continues in front of Eliza, who is dazed as usual.

"You may not know that we were tucked in Yugudra, but we have been in a position to be oppressed for a long time." From what I've heard, you kept silent when the Sherro Forest was burned down and hundreds of your compatriots were massacred? ”

"...... Lapis Furgol is an old story. I wasn't born yet, but my ancestors knew it would be a tough choice. Both the outside side and the inside side -- we still had to split up."

………………

Selen continued with a sharp expression on Lapis who was silent.

Strong will in your voice. There was indeed a charisma worthy of the princess.

“I won't tell you not to forgive me. But I want you to understand. I'm not abandoning you. Sherry Ellis Frestel--no, all the queens scattered across the forest...... they're my blood. And the queen of Yggdra once decided to let most of the spirit people go out -- to keep the seeds going. I understood that there were many dangers outside, but it should have been safer than being left in the" inside "-"

What could be more dangerous than a world full of hostile species?

It was the first time for Lapis to hear about it, and there is no appearance of pinching her mouth. He stared at Selen with a steep expression as if he was verifying the truth.

"Shelo's ancestors, who were royalty of proud spirits, chose to protect their compatriots outside, and divided themselves from my ancestors. Still, I didn't abandon you. The people of Yggdra and you are still connected. That's why I left Eliza Beck with a means of contact that was rarely used."

So Selen's gaze turned to Eliza, who stood.

Even though I brought what I had been looking for to Yggdra, Eliza was still at her own pace. I don't move one eyebrow even if I am suddenly called by my name.

She seemed a little excited when she found the curse, but the difference between on and off was too strong.

So, why are you turning it off in front of a great guy?

"This work was a cause." I can see that. The Wandering Spirit - you are the descendant of the forest ruler of Sherro, right? "

…………

Eliza looked at Selen with sleepy eyes and nodded softly.

Do it properly at a time like this. I don't think you're getting comfortable, do you?

"Sherro's indiscriminate curse is never forgiven. But there is plenty of room for sympathy. It wasn't just her, it was Yggdra's people and the human side. Regardless, our orders have been fulfilled here. I feel fate when she returns at this timing after a long time of disappearance.”

Selen leaked a sigh of emotion. I wondered why I was looking for the Cursed Stone, but it seemed to be an order from Yggdra.

But it was nice to find what Eliza was looking for, but what about Luke's petrification?

Sherro had grown so much that I could break the curse with him, but it was a curse I didn't feel comfortable with.

And, Humming--No, Cry Andrich.

So Selen stares at me and tells me to sing.

"I heard a rough story." I found the cursed stone and brought it to Eliza. On behalf of the people of Yggdra, I thank you. "

"Huh? No... I didn't do anything else, though."

Eliza and Kriss did the same, but why is it that the Spirit Man has such beautiful eyes like a jewel? I feel very restless when I stare at you like that.

And what explanation did Eliza give Selen? After all, that commotion wasn't just about finding a spell stone and bringing it to Eliza.

In the meantime, Selen coughs up a small, confusing smile.

"Originally, I wanted to thank my new compatriots for helping Shello - I talked lightly along the way, but now Yugudra is in crisis. We have nothing to give you."

"............ Ah, yes......"

An unexpected voice came out. It was a coincidence that I got the Curse Stone, and I didn't come to thank you for it, but I just had a hard time reaching my goal.

I don't even know how long it will take for Luke to become a complete Stone Statue. If selenium can't break the curse, we need to find another solution.

For example, why don't you go to the main hill of the Light Spirit Church? Anthem's healing magic was strong, but he wasn't the top decurse maker. There's no such thing as zero likelihood of knowing anything.

Or maybe if I peel off the surface, it'll heal... "

Selen's expression clouded as he frowned and leaned his neck.

"............ I really, really, really appreciate it. If you want, you can take what's in this Yggdra.”

Ah, no, that's not what I meant--

Even though the Spirit Man seems to have a strong sense of kinship, if you let the Queen bow her head, it could ruin all the relationship with [Holy Thunder of the Stars].

And when I opened my mouth in a hurry, the roar suddenly shook the air.

Selenium twitches and stiffens. The source of the sound was Liz.

A frustrated expression clinging to her face, her toes wrapped in treasure stuck to the ground.

Apparently, I kicked the ground as hard as I could. I should have listened to you quietly, but what did you do?

Selenium is not the only thing that surprised me. My heart is throbbing because of the sudden loud noise.

Liz stood in front of the stiff selenium with her eyes wide open, tongued and said.

"It's a long story!" Even though you're a spirit queen, you don't even know what Klee wants, do you? Krai-chan, you're in a bad mood!? "

... it's not getting any better. I'm not in a bad mood! Besides, there's nothing I want. I had already heard that I couldn't get rid of the spell. Even if you tell me to do something I can't do, I can't do it.

Perhaps Liz had something else she wanted, but what Yggdra wanted from her now was just too harsh.

"No, Lizzie, wait a minute--"

As expected, Liz didn't listen to me.

The virtue of thoughtfulness is both her strengths and her weaknesses.

Liz approaches Selen and grabs her chest.

Then, with gleaming eyes, he stared at Selen from a close distance, and Liz said with a sharp voice.

"It's all right with you." I'm busy here, so Krai-chan told me to quickly show you the awful treasure hall that was revealed in the world tree! "

...... I didn't say that.
