The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

World tree, the airborne city of Vilya. Me and Early, Mr. Bell, were in the Queen's office at the Spirit Palace.

This will be discussed in the future while I get some tea from the elves.

"Thanks to you, the Elves have gained a modernized army and its strongholds"

"It's going to be tough, Your Majesty."

Elf's fleet, aircraft and other weapons prepared here. The outside could be done, but the personnel who manipulate it must be raised from now on.

"For the time being, we will send soldiers out of the Willidis army to operate and train weapons. All of which will be able to operate entirely on the elves alone."

If I may say so, Mr. Bell waved.

"Elves don't need Joso's help."

"Except you."

Chuckled, Queen Karen turned her grin.

"As well as the rewards, we would like to offer conveniences to Master Jin and Willidis. We, the Elves, will never forget our thanks to you."

I wonder why, given such words from the Queen of the Elves of Beauty, you feel like you have been blessed. I have a feeling something good is going to happen. Wonder.

I saw Early.

"Did you talk about that?

"Yeah. Talk about the World Tree Mark"

Nodding Early. If I look back at the Queen again, she squeezed her expression too.

"In that a map of the ruins of the ancient magical civilization era pointed to the world tree, right?

"Do you have any idea?

"No... I do not know. Earlier, when Early asked the same question, I asked the ancient scholars of the elves if they had a clue."

I see, with this intent, you're already investigating? Thanks for talking to me first, Early. But does Queen Cullen have no idea either?

"Something is vague. If I knew what that was referring to, maybe I would..."

To the queen's words, yes, I thought.

I don't know what the light points of the ruins indicate in the first place. Maybe it's the place of an ancient civilization-era town that used to be, or maybe there was once a floating island in that place, just to say. It could be a treasure, or a relic.

"That's what I talked to Reele and Tomomi about."

Early frowned that thin brow.

"For example, that sign once had eight world trees, pointing to the place,"

"Interesting story."

"Interesting opinion."

If Queen Karen says so, I'll break up with her by accident, too. Early snapped her neck.

"Something else, like where each of the floating islands was in the image I saw before the mark"

"And that's it?

Mr. Bell distorted his mouth.

"Even if we didn't build a floating island, did you mean that there might have originally been a floating island in the land?

I'm talking about possibilities.

"But Master Bell. There's a floating island in the elf."

"... maybe all around the ancient woods are floating islands"

I'll say potpourri what I thought. Everyone but me looked out for me. I know how you feel. If the whole reef were a floating island, it would be pretty huge.

"Your Majesty, do you have any idea what's going on in the basement around this elf?

"Underground, is it?

Queen Karen puts those thin, supple fingers against her chin. One of those tricks is so elegant.

"I don't think the roots of the world tree are stretched to that depth. No, actually, we assumed that was the right thing to do, and we didn't investigate."

Elves take care of the woods they were born and raised in. Perhaps it's a punishment to think about digging up the ancient trees and world trees that grow there.

"I hope you know what that map shows"

I'm afraid.

"The Great Empire is keen to excavate the ruins of ancient civilization. I can tell you that the Emperor's SS also put a lot of emphasis on it the other day because it was so active in the war itself"

"... the future of the Great Empire striking inside the elves"

Queen Cullen, who saw it with a view of the future, clouded her expression.

"that the cause could be something that the mark indicated"

"So far, they're most likely the reason they're attacking this place."

I suggest one thing here.

"Why don't you let me investigate inside and around the elves? I understand the elves don't like it when people come in."

"Now, let's create a team focused on scholars and others from our elf side, work with Willidis, and launch a joint team of investigators"

Queen Karen made an immediate stop.

"At least, if we were to work with Elves, no one would dispute your investigation."

Elf xenophobia is famous. When you hear how we go in and look around on our own, no matter how benefactor we have contributed to the elves, those who cure their attitudes will also show up.

Isn't that just surveillance?

Mr. Bell shrugged with magic thoughts.

"Well, you'll have that too"

I told you earlier, because if you get in on your own, you'll have some trouble.

"If it's clear why the Great Empire is attacking us, maybe we'll have measures in place. Urgent issue even as an elf. Let's take a survey together."

"Thank you, Your Grace."

When I bowed my head, the queen thanked me again. Early opens his mouth.

"Quickly, Your Majesty. I have one suggestion for an investigation."

"What is it, Master Early?

"In the Iron Valley, there's an elf treasure trove, right? I'd like to investigate from there first."

The treasure trove, is it?

Exactly. The queen also got a strange look. Mr. Bell shook his head.

"Why the treasure trove, Miss Early? That's not where the example sign pointed out, is it?

"That map was pointing inside the elf, but from the scale, I can't be sure it's necessarily pointing to the world tree."

Leele and the others and Early, who was looking deeper into it, said clearly.

"Of course, the world tree is suspicious in terms of possibilities, but there was a device in Elf's treasure trove that seemed to be from an ancient civilizational era, right?

There was no Early on that occasion, but you must have remembered what I told you. No. Maybe Mr Daska pointed it out. Because he was with me then, too.

As pointed out, a scanning device smudged the Elf Queen and the seal seemed to have been unsealed. I don't know if it was ancient mechanical civilization, or magical civilization-era technology, but it was obvious that it was different from that of modern times.

"Maybe I have a lead on something."

If times match, it's certainly likely. Queen Karen nodded.

"Well, let's start there."

Permission granted.

After the meeting, Riele and Kahara came into the elf and joined Early and Mr. Daska.

The treasure trove required the accompaniment of the queen, which led to the formation of an investigation team by scholars and the initiation of investigative activities, in consultation with the senior ranks of the elves.

I made some fine adjustments to Gilrondo with the elves, handed over the ship, then left SS soldiers in charge of training and education and returned to Willidis.
