Resurrected Immortal 384

Chapter 384 – 384. The Threat of the World Tree (1)

“What’s the matter?”

[… The World Tree sensed danger.]

“The World Tree?”

When I mentioned the existence of the World Tree, which bestows great prosperity and blessings on the Elf Forest and the Elf race, Eun-Hyeon frowned slightly and asked again.
What level of ‘danger’ is that world tree so serious that it is directly mentioned?
I haven’t been able to make a good judgment at the moment since I haven’t heard the details, but it’s definitely not going to be easy.
Eun-hyeon turned her head to her two wives, who were having lunch together at her restaurant.

“Eleanor.”

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry, but I think the vacation ends here.”

“I can’t help it.”

Eleanor smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
Eleanor, who had a history of visiting the forest of elves on her honeymoon with Eun-hyeon, understood how serious the issue was that Regina, the queen of elves, had asked for help herself.
Her own holidays and her time with Eun-hyeon were important, but neither was she foolish enough to be stubborn.

[Sorry. Teacher… Originally, the teacher would have been taking care of important things…]

After hearing Eunhyun’s words, Regina looked beyond the crystal ball and apologized with an expression of disrespect.

“Are you okay. I don’t think you bothered to ask me for help with a problem that only elves could solve.”

This restaurant, where many people are eating, is not a suitable place to look around and talk.

“I will contact you again. Could you wait for me for 30 minutes?”

[Sure. We look forward to hearing from you.]

Eun-hyeon’s request for accepting her help without listening to all of her circumstances was so sorry and grateful.
Regina nodded her head willingly and ended her communication by saying that she expected further contact.
As Eun-hyeon stood up from the table, her two wives followed suit.

“I, uh… Maybe it didn’t fit your mouth… ?”

When the three of them got up from their seats and hurriedly left the restaurant, a clerk hurriedly ran up to them and asked, looking at them.
In this estate, the face of Eleanor, the daughter of the Duke of Armitas, is quite famous.
There may be people who don’t know, but there are more people who know than that.
Especially in the case of people doing business in this territory, there was no way they could not recognize the face of the owner of this territory.
Eleanor and her husband, Eun-hyeon, try to leave the restaurant all at once without finishing their meal, which is surprising as a restaurant.

“No. It’s not like that.”

Was there something I didn’t like?
Was there any part that I hated?
Seeing the anxious face of her restaurant clerk, who had been thinking a lot, Eleanor smiled and shook her head.

“Something important has happened urgently. The food is very good. Please continue to run the restaurant diligently.”

“Go, thank you!”

The three of them left the restaurant after not being able to finish the meal all of a sudden, leaving words of apology and support for leaving food unintentionally.
As soon as they entered the dungeon house, Illyana, who was reading a magic book on the sofa in the living room, greeted the three with a puzzled expression.

“Are you here quite early? I think she said she would come in time for dinner.”

“Something happened.”

“… Hmm.”

Illyana, who confirmed Eunhyun’s slightly hardened expression, raised her eyebrows and made a sullen expression.
She also closed the book she was reading, sensing that something had happened.

“Eleanor.”

“Yes.”

“Go to her shrine, ask for forgiveness from Miho, and bring Erin.”

“All right.”

Leaving behind Eleanor, who headed straight to the shrine, Eunhyun sat down on the sofa.

“Whoa…”

“What are you doing again?”

“I don’t know yet either.”

Eunhyeon, who had not yet heard Regina’s detailed story, could not explain her circumstances to Illyana.

“I will prepare tea.”

“Please.”

Eunhyun nodded her head and opened her mouth with a firm expression.

“I got a call from Regina asking for help.”

“The Elf Queen?”

“That’s right.”

“Huh… What else is going on? As long as the queen communicates with you directly?”

As the elf who walked was not an ordinary elf, but the queen of the elves, there was no doubt that the annoyance of the work she asked for would be far from ordinary.

“Are you going to accept it?”

“… I think so.”

Originally, it was not Eun-hyeon’s personality to intervene so actively in other people’s affairs.
Recently, she has shown moves such as secretly working with the duke’s family or the Knights of Artia in Rio dei, but Eun-hyeon is basically not the type to focus on actively solving problems by taking the lead.
However, the problem of Regina and other elves was a completely different problem.
Regina’s request was hard to refuse, as it was really related to the threat of the tribe, not political reasons or interpersonal conflict, apart from Eunhyun’s personal relationship with her elves.

“Well, I knew that.”

Illyana smiled and accepted Eunhyun’s answer.
As long as she made up her mind to be with her for the rest of her life, walking alongside her on the path he was walking was the path that Illyana herself wanted.
No matter what choice she made, as long as it didn’t lead to ruining herself, Illyana was full of thoughts of respecting Eunhyun’s choice.

“I brought tea.”

“Huh. Thank you.”

Lily brought a teapot and teacup with tea and set them in front of Eunhyeon and Illyana.
The clear, vermilion-colored liquid that had been carefully brewed filled the teacup.
It didn’t take long for Illyana to wait for Eleanor and Erin to arrive while sipping steaming hot tea.

“We are here.”

After about 10 minutes had passed, after Eleanor and Erin showed up right away, followed by Lily, Eunhyun opened her mouth.

“Family meeting. Let’s begin.”

I took out a crystal ball from my pocket and connected the communication.
The light from the crystal ball placed in the center of the long, straight table began to float upward, forming a huge sphere in the form of translucent particles, and a figure appeared from inside the sphere.
The woman who appeared in a crystal ball that reproduced hologram technology with her magic opened her mouth.

[I waited.]

She bowed her head as a radiant, blond elf with her pointy ears emerged.

“Wow…”

Seeing Regina, the elven queen, for the first time, Erin displayed pure admiration with a dazed expression.
It’s the same with Erin and Lily.
Regina recognized Lily and Erin sitting at the table and addressed her with a smile.

[It’s the first time I’ve seen you two.]

“Oh, yes, yes. Me, i… My name is Erin!”

For some reason, Erin’s heart was so full of tension that her words trembled, and her words didn’t come out properly.
She wasn’t talking directly face to face, but even though she was talking through a crystal ball, why did she tremble?

‘She is a very pretty person. No, can I call her a human?’

The woman beyond the crystal ball is the queen of a race of elves that Illyana and Eleanor have only heard about.
What’s more, I was more concerned.

‘She said she was Hyun-yi’s disciple, right?’

The point was that she was a woman who had been taught by Eun-hyeon much earlier than he was.
As a disciple of hers, as a woman, it was a big point that I was very concerned about it.
Besides, unlike her humble self, Regina is the Queen of the Elves.
It is an undeniable fact that she becomes conscious even if she does not want to be conscious.

She said, “My name is Lily. She is acting as the master’s attendant with a lacking body.”

Lily, on the other hand, gave Regina her formal, clean greeting by bowing her head with the utmost politeness.

[Okay.]

After her brief self-introduction, her Eun-hyeon interrupted the conversation.

“Regina. Let’s start talking now. What help do you want to ask of me?”

As she got right to the point, Regina erased her smile and hardened her face as she introduced herself with Lily and Erin.

[Teacher… Previous… Do you remember ‘Ancient Witchbeast’?]

“… Know. Okay. I have a rough idea of ​​what is going on.”

Eunhyun immediately frowned.
Recalling the bad memories of her past, Eun-hyeon guessed what kind of danger the ‘danger detected by the world tree’ mentioned by Regina was.

“Did they start coming over again?”

[… That’s right.]

Regina, who heard Eunhyun’s presumptuous murmur, nodded her head with a heavy expression.

“Ancient Witchbeast? What is it? Is it a special magic beast?”

Erin, who had been listening to her conversation, asked Eunhyeon with a puzzled look on her face.

“It is literally a demon that existed in ancient times. It’s different from the monsters that appear in dungeons on the continent now. As Erin said, it might be more accurate to say that it is a special magic beast.”

“How strong are you?”

“At least to the extent that it can’t be compared to the Demonic Beasts that appear now.”

After Eunhyeon finished answering Erin’s question, she shut her mouth tightly.
Her wives put many thoughts in their heads, organized them, and waited for her to speak again.

“Illyana.”

“Huh.”

“Let’s get ready.”

“Okay.”

A detailed explanation was not followed.
In that short word, there was a trusting relationship between the two that had been built over a long time to the extent that she could accurately grasp the role she had to play.
Eunhyun continued to speak.

“Elenoa and Lily remain in Armitas territory.”

“Me and Lily… Can’t I follow you?”

Eleanor had expressed her slight regret, but Eun-hyeon smiled bitterly and did not bend her thoughts.

“Because I plan to take Derkin with me this time.”

“Ah…”

Even so, it was only natural for Derkin to be involved with the elves’ problems, even if their daughter, a half-elf girl, and their human wives, Eris and Alice, were still young.
Alice, who has just had surgery on her eyes, is nursed by Agnes, a top-notch workforce, but Eleanor’s skill is needed to manage the nursery school and deal with various variables on behalf of Elvin.
Eleanor immediately grasped her Eunhyun’s intentions and nodded her head with a sad expression as if she couldn’t help it.

“All right…”

“Likewise, Lily let Eleanor help.”

“All right. Master.”

“And… Erin.”

“Yes…”

Realizing that it was her turn at last, Erin swallowed her saliva and waited for Eunhyeon’s words.

“The magic I am learning from Miho. Aren’t you still immature?”

“… Huh.”

Erin nodded her head honestly with a grim expression.
Erin, always being scolded and learning at her shrine, readily admitted that her level was still immature.
She always wants to be helpful and wants to be with her, but she is working hard, but the magic of the gumiho is a collection of skills that the gumiho has accumulated over a thousand years.
It will take a lot of effort and time to catch up.

“Don’t be in too much of a hurry. Because someday I will definitely reach it.”

“… Still.”

The stuffy feeling that arises in one’s own heart has not been relieved.

“Next time definitely… I will grow to the point where I can be of help.”

“Okay. I will remember.”

Eunhyun smiled and responded to Erin’s determination.
