TL: Hanguk

Crack.

Crack.

The sound kept coming from beneath the ground, but the surface was peaceful.

……

As time passed, even the sound from beneath the ground disappeared. That was the end of it. All that remained above ground were two vibrant green leaves and the name that appeared above them.

[Powerful Purified Ent]

“What? Is that it?”

As Sejun was puzzled by the unexpected result, which was different from the noisy sound,

Thump.

Something came up from under the sprout. Or more precisely, it came up with the sprout.

And then,

Puduk.

From beneath the ground, a Powerful Purifying Ent, about 20 cm in diameter and 50 cm in height, arose, stretching its arms up high in a victorious manner.

And then,

Rustle, rustle.

The Powerful Purified Ent with green leaves on its head started walking past Sejun.

“Hey?! Where are you going?”

Sejun touched the body of the Ent and asked. His talent, ‘Friend of Nature,’ made communication possible.

But,

[Ent…Protect…]

“What are you saying?”

Sejun asked again, but,

[……]

The Ent was not a talkative friend.

Rustle, rustle.

Sejun had no choice but to follow the Powerful Purified Ent.

And then,

[Master! Welcome!]

They arrived in front of Flamie.

Rustle, rustle.

The Powerful Purified Ent started circling around Flamie, as if it wanted to protect it.

“Do you know why the Ent is behaving this way, Flamie?”

[Just a moment. I’ll ask.]

Flamie had a conversation with the Ent.

[The Ent says its mission is to protect the World Tree.]

“World Tree? But why is it protecting you, Flamie?”

[I’m not sure. It just said it would protect me. But I’m strong enough to protect myself!]

Flamie fluttered its leaves as if throwing a punch in the air.

“Okay. For now, Flamie, can you keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t do anything strange?”

[Yes! Leave it to me! I’ll watch it closely!]

Sejun left Flamie to watch the Ent and asked Aileen,

“Aileen, do you know about the World Tree?”

He sought information from Aileen.

[The Tower’s Administrator says the World Tree is a tree with a powerful force of abundance. Those who are acknowledged to live near the World Tree can enjoy the benefits of abundance.]

“What about the Ent?”

[The Tower’s Administrator says that originally Ents are guardians who protect the World Tree.]

“So, is our Flamie the World Tree?”

[The Tower’s Administrator asks you to wait a moment.]

***

When Aileen was asked if the apple tree was the World Tree,

“Uh…”

She became flustered. She didn’t know either.

So,

“Wait a moment.”

She asked Sejun to wait and,

“Grandpa!”

Quickly called for Kaiser.

-Oh! Aileen~! Finally, you want to talk to this old man?

“Yes! Grandpa, I have a question.”

-Oh! Go ahead and ask anything!

“If a World Tree appears in the tower, can I confirm it?”

-Of course, you can. Through the crystal orb…

Kaiser began to explain to Aileen how to confirm the existence of the World Tree.

And the result.
