Lunch served in the garrison was surprisingly rich and healthy.

Though I always thought it was something that would come out of battle rations like biscuits (Combat Rations), it's a sumptuous dish of freshly baked nan in warm bean and vegetable soup, stewed spicy chicken spices, and even fruits from the South.

The drink even had a slightly sweet fruit juice with a hole in the coconut palm.

"Yummy. Yummy!

"Yeah, I can't believe there are so many fresh fruits...... glad"

Manuferno and Lentomia also smile naturally. All the ingredients arranged on the simple table are fresh and the taste and aroma are really summery and delicious.

"It's a little spicy, but it tastes good."

"When it's hard, you should drink coconut palm juice -"

Hemperoza told by Plum smokes coconut palm juice with a chiru straw.

"... I see! The fragrance is sweet, just right."

"I can only see meadows around the world trees, but where do these come from?

I asked one of the women who brought me a meal in the tent.

"The food comes from Betunapam, the northernmost (...) village of Marino Serese, about fifty kilometres south of here, my people buy it every day"

"I see, the ingredients are fresh and southerly with rice noodles."

"Um, did it fit your mouth?

"It's delicious. As you can see, my people are satisfied."

"It's a pleasure to have you! Ke... Sage."

The lady at work left thankfully smiling as she was relieved.

She also saw slightly wavy hair of iron on light black skin, as well as bright blue eyes like aquamarine and marinoseres-like characteristics.

Apparently half the people who work in the World Tree Village (...) are Marino Serese.

He said he was getting support, and both countries are in friendship, so I guess that means he's doing well.

But is there also an intention that Marinoserese, the great power that unites the southern continent, should be able to influence the world tree closer to the living area of Marinoserese than Metanostadt?

Marinocerese has a densely forested national territory, with numerous ancient sites sleeping. Magic technology is also independently developed, and it was they who developed "Fluid Control Magic", which is also applied in "Iron Pile Cannon" and "Sky Turtle". It is also known for its original ideas of developing special magic that dries food even at the student level.

Naturally, you would expect one end of the magic technique of the Holy Sword Battleship "Silver (Platinum) in the Ethereal Dome (Fatimart)", which sleeps in the world tree, or even one of the fragments. Because that's what we call national interest.

Such a glimmer of anxiety plunders my head as I roll the spice spiciness over my tongue.

But as far as the delicious meals and the faces of the working people were concerned, I didn't feel calm and up to something.

- You think too much. No, should we just be vigilant?

This is a secluded area where you can't count on support.

I have to assume and act on everything.

As it is important to learn from the failure of a flying carriage and then how to make use of it, the biggest weapon for me, being a sage (...), should be to "think".

Assuming what is considered to be a danger that may occur. And if you always read the two hands, you may not be able to protect your precious family from now on.

After lunch, we took part in an operational briefing (briefing) on the World Tree Survey.

The location was in a large tent in the heart of the village. Below Knight Rembrandt, the warrior's platoon captain sits in a slack.

It was a middle-aged researcher who gave me an account of the current situation as a representative.

He sounded like the botanical authority of King Methanostat's government and spoke enthusiastically about the properties of the world tree. But I have a long story to tell about this man.

It is difficult for me to tell you extensively what many books seem to be able to write, but I decided to ask you to tell me only the main points along the way.

Taken together, it looks like this:

-The diameter of the trunk is approximately 300 merte. It is slightly thinner as it goes up.

-The height of the trunk extending perpendicularly towards heaven is 600 Merte.

-Low branches like circular domes have a maximum diameter of 1200 merte.

-The top of the leaf mountain (...) is an area of unobservability, but it is estimated that it has reached a height of 900 Merte.

-There are numerous fissures in the trunk that are like vertical tears, and there are sized ones that horses can pass through as aisles.

-The identity of the passage is root (...). It feels like a maze because it has a structure similar to that of the plate-shaped roots' plate-roots' of plants in the South. They continue intricately into the middle of the world tree.

· In the centre of the trunk, there is a 'square' about 80 merte in diameter, from which the space extends directly to the top, presumably continuing to the top.

For convenience, this is called a "central pit (center/shaft)".

-In the center shaft, surprisingly, the sunlight seems to be plugged in. I can feel the brightness of being at the bottom of a deep forest. (In other words, the world tree can be described as a 'hollow' structure like a macaroni)

-The thickness of the trunk reaches 100 merte, with countless horizontal holes that seem to have arisen during the growth process.

-The center shaft is huge, but strangely the structure resembles a 'conduit' through which plants pass water. An irregular hidden structure protrudes horizontally along the inside, like a 1 merte in a narrow area, a staircase of up to about 5 mertes, or a sloped passage.

This unique inner structure can also be used as a scaffold for climbing the center shaft up. (The advance team was able to tread, at the moment, staying about 50 merte from the ground)

It has been confirmed that the organism is already inhabited. At the lowest level we have not encountered any demons, but there have been reports of mysterious shadows (...) sightings, and it seems that we should be aware of unintended encounters as we go to the top.

That's what makes the world tree so special.

I write it down as a tactical information display (tactics) and keep it as a note.

"It's kind of magnificent..."

He looked at me like Lu had been taken aback.

"It seems more complicated inside than I thought. Ma, let's actually see with these eyes the rest!

"Copy that!

The time is 2 pm. We're finally going to the World Tree.

The journey to the World Tree was only about ten minutes in the carriage that the garrison had prepared for us.

Two carriages will be split up and challenged by our line (party) and a platoon led by Knight Commander Rembrandt.

The platoon has three young warriors, an intermediate wizard, and an example scholar teacher.

They said they were on guard near the entrance, waiting for our return, while they supported the scholars in their research.

In front of me is a trunk of a world tree like a wall, and I can see enough passages poking open for two adults to walk side by side.

It's dark behind the corridor surrounded by hard wooden walls, but if you go back there should be a 'central pit (center shaft)'.

There was no danger in the low tier of the world tree, but as a guide (...), the knight Rembrandt was to serve himself.

"Mass Produced (Producer) Thunder Sword (Sandaguard)" shines on his back. The hindsight somehow reminds me of the brave Ergonote.

"It's a pleasure to be with you, Dickamaran hero."

Knight Rembrandt with a crisp face and a refreshing grin.

"Oh, no, this way."

I unwittingly bow my head.

"Tough. Kind of like a knight who wants to paint on a picture with wonder!

"Ugh, um...?

Manuferno makes his nose rough with sparkling eyes. Apparently, he wants to paint, but he has an eye color that seems to paint an evil picture.

And Metius, the fairy who was taking a break and taking a nap, fluttered out. The knight (Rembrandt) who sees the fairy nearby rounds his eyes with surprise, but thanks the poor fairy with humility.

"This is...! Nice to meet you, little princess. I will guide you, my name is Knight Rembrandt."

"Well! What a reliable knight you are!

Metty comes down over my head laughing with an oho. It doesn't look like a princess to me.

"... you remind me of Lord Ergo."

"No, Ergonote feels a little dumber and would have calmed down"

"So, there you are."

I laugh bitterly as I whisper to Lu.

We finally set foot in the world tree. The ground of the maze surrounded by wooden walls is flat and easy to walk.

The passage is narrow, so form a formation for once. The avant-garde is Lu, the swordsman (Serveria). And Knight Rembrandt.

Me in the back. Hemperoza and Plum are walking on both sides of the left and right. And the rear end is followed by Manuferno and Lentomia.

"Exciting."

"Protect Greg."

"Come on! Even if the demon comes out, the Wise Man will see you in front of him!

Two people who look serious while laughing properly. Hemperoza swung a boom with a swaddling (shrub) wand in her hand.

The white flowers that were blooming on the tip are only ever turned into seeds. Seems to make it possible to attack with seeds if you care about it.

"Manu, if it's hard, say it."

"Thank you, Greg."

Manuferno, who has no strength, can do it by holding hands.

"Tell me too!

"... if Lentomia is hard, say so."

"Ugh!

About ten minutes down the curved tree aisle, we reached the square, or center shaft, which is the center of the trunk of the world tree.

"Perhaps you'd be surprised."

Rembrandt looked back and pointed us by hand to introduce us as if we were someone.

There was a mystical sight spread there.

"Ooh...!

"Beautiful. Wow..."

Everyone accidentally leaked an exclamation.

There, several waterfalls from heaven were pouring down into blisters. The sparkling grains of light shine like countless jewels in the blue light that leaks.

"It's beautiful!

"Beautifully!
