030. World Tree and Administrator

“Is the hero who is said to have returned Minsik Kang?”

The World Tree nodded.

– That’s right. That child is the hero who saved this dimension.

– I don’t know why the child came back, but I remember that energy.

– So I’m curious. Why did that child come back, and why are you looking for that child?

Julia glanced at Kim Woo-jin.

From the tone of World Tree, goodwill toward Kang Min-shik was evident. I didn’t know what to answer.

‘how to do?’

‘From now on, keep your mouth shut.’

Kim Woo-jin took a step forward.

“I came to pick you up.”

– You came to pick me up. What does that mean?

“It is literally. We’re here to pick up Kang Min-shik.”

– The reason is?

– Judging from your attitude and way of speaking, I don’t think you’re very friendly.

The World Tree’s voice rose slightly.

“Should I tell you?”

– of course.

– Don’t say it again. That child is the hero of this dimension.

– If there is no good reason, unless I have a good reason.

– You can never take that child.

– I’m trying to be clear. Did you come to pick me up or catch me?

“Um, that’s not it…”

“Are you keeping your mouth shut? Don’t say nonsense when you’ve already guessed, World Tree.”

Kim Woo-jin pushed Julia, who was trying hard to make an excuse. Her mouth fell open at the word nonsense.

“This is enforcement up there. If you’ve lived for 10,000 years, you’d know that Kang Min-shik’s personal authority has already passed, right?”

The reindeer sat down on the spot. Eye level is set. I couldn’t guess what the pure white eyes were thinking.

– I guessed. There’s no way a human like you would suddenly fall from the sky.

– With the key, you can go in and out of the dimension at will.

– But, he was holding the key too.

“Never mind. This is out of your realm.”

– After all, you must be the enforcer.

“For now, let’s do that.”

– Poor kid. How did I end up being chased by the enforcers?

“Don’t be hypocritical. Didn’t you let him go, knowing what his future would be like?”

– Enforcers are all rigid and don’t even joke, so it’s not fun.

The reindeer’s eyes curved in the shape of a crescent moon.

– how. do you need help

– It won’t be that easy to find him.

– But what should I do? My help is a bit expensive.

– As you know, we are only in a contractual relationship with the gods, so we have no obligation to cooperate with you.

The tone of the world tree, which had removed the pretense, became even more frivolous.

Yulia’s widened pupils and gaping mouth showed no signs of returning.

“All I want is a level where I can have a conversation with the plants. But from what I’m saying, it’s not free. what do you want?”

It is one of the minor powers that High Elves possess, but even that would be impossible without the acceptance of the World Tree.

It is not known exactly how far the roots of the World Tree, which has lived for 10,000 years, will extend, but it is highly likely that the range will easily exceed one continent.

At least, it was correct to assume that there is no plant on this continent that is not affected by the World Tree.

That doesn’t mean you can’t do anything great, but you can block conversations with beings in this world as much as you like.

– It’s done.

– I’ll just help you with that.

“suddenly?”

– As I said, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a human like you.

– I’ve seen many Enforcers. But you are definitely different. Not just an enforcer. you will rise higher

“Are you going to make an investment?”

– Isn’t there a reason that only humans do investing?

What do you think? Kim Woo-jin stared at the world tree, but the reindeer didn’t move at all.

To be honest, it wasn’t a bad condition if you’d just tolerate it.

However, the world tree beings were not very trustworthy.

‘The World Tree is an important helper for the warriors. However, it is not a hierarchical relationship. It’s just helping because it’s profitable.’

The world tree is one of the important helpers who help the summoned warriors chosen by the gods. It gives items, gives companions, bestows blessings, or prophesies to help the hero.

Not all World Trees help the hero, but most do.

It’s because they use each other.

So, this is also not a pure favor.

“I’m grateful for that much.”

But there was only one conclusion.

Without the help of the World Tree, it is almost unknown whether we will be able to find Kang Min-sik in two weeks.

After all, Kraft is just one of many dimensions.

It is nothing more than issuing empty checks to a world tree in a dimension that will never come again if only Kang Min-sik is caught.

– I’m glad you didn’t refuse the favor.

– Not just that much, but a little more help.

– When you leave, my child will be waiting for you guys.

– Take his guidance.

The reindeer disappeared.

“What if you talk to the mother tree like that?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know anything. The World Tree has a cooperative relationship with the superiors. you know?”

“That’s true, but…”

“From the perspective of the World Tree, it is good because it can stabilize the dizzying dimension, and the upper part can use the heroes more smoothly through the World Tree, so it is a win-win.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about.”

“There is a high possibility that the World Tree already knows everything.”

“Yeah?”

“The roots of the World Tree, which has lived for 10,000 years, are small, but they reach the Akashic Records of the world’s laws and memories.”

The world tree whose roots touch the Akashic Records is closer to the truth of the universe.

“I didn’t even know that. Is that why you frowned at the word 10,000 years?”

“If it’s 10,000 years ago, you can cheat and use it, but if you’re over 10,000 years old, you’ll know the other side. I get it from talking I know of the existence of Purgatory and I guess that Kang Min-shik escaped.”

Kang Min-sik, who will never return to Kraft, has returned and the Enforcer has appeared because that is the only possibility.

“…Then wouldn’t it be a big deal if Kraft’s mother tree told the gods everything?”

“I told you. The World Tree is a cooperative relationship, not a hierarchical relationship. It’s not very likely.”

“There is an if.”

“It might be a little annoying, but if you properly catch Kang Min-sik and take him to Purgatory, there won’t be a big problem.”

“Why? You pretended to be an enforcer and informed that Kang Min-shik had escaped from prison.”

“When did I?”

“Yeah?”

“I never said I was an enforcer?”

“Did I hear?”

“At first, I said I would do it. I didn’t. I just wanted to see the world tree by accident while on vacation.”

“…That’s a blindfolded cat, isn’t it?”

“This prison break itself is a blindfolded catfight from the top.”

“Then did you say you came to catch Kang Min-shik?”

“You came to catch me? I? He must have come to pick it up.”

“It makes no sense. from what?”

“I couldn’t adapt too well, so I gave them an appropriate vacation, that’s enough. They said the restraints were still being filled.”

It doesn’t matter if it’s really full or not. In the end, this case will be determined by whether Kim Woo-jin catches Kang Min-sik or not within two weeks.

“···Trickster.”

“You are the impostor.”

“Why me?”

“Did you say you handed over the seeds of the World Tree because you wanted to become possessed?”

“… that’s for good reason.”

“I wasn’t fooled in the first place, but now that I know a little bit about your identity, it’s even weirder. Isn’t it Albenius who ordered you? Wouldn’t it have been better if everything had been revealed from the beginning?”

“Albenius said he wasn’t sure.”

“what?”

“Your intentions. He is not worthy of being the dog of the gods, but he is acting as a dog.”

“Dog. It doesn’t look that way.”

However, it is a contractual relationship. An absolute contract that was bound by nothing, absolutely unbreakable.

Because of this, Kim Woo-jin’s plan was assumed after the contract ended. After Yulia’s appearance and knowing that Albenius was up to something, I thought I should change things up a bit.

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“What.”

“No matter how you think about it, it’s strange. The gods created purgatory and imprisoned the warriors, so why are you letting them escape?”

“I would have said. To tie me up.”

for the extension of the contract. To keep Kim Woo-jin in purgatory longer. For example, it is a poison clause.

“But aren’t the problems that arise when all the prisoners break out?”

“Because I know I’ll end up catching you this way.”

“ah.”

“Then I ask. What is Albenius aiming for?”

I even know that it breaks purgatory. And that weapon is Yulia, and her future is in the hands of Albenius.

Ultimately, though, we haven’t heard what he’s aiming for.

“There is no way to do it without uprooting a rotten tree from the root.”

“Are you going to cut out all the managers? Do you think that is possible?”

Kim Woo-jin calls them administrators, but most of humanity calls them gods.

That’s because they claim to be themselves, but also because they have that kind of power.

“That’s why Albenius said he absolutely needs your help. Because you…”

“quiet.”

Kim Woo-jin covered Yulia’s mouth. Because Diane was waiting in front of me.

“The mother tree said. We will help you find the hero.”

The two were escorted to Diane’s house. he drove the car

“However, it cannot be searched openly using elves.”

That was exactly what Kim Woo-jin had hoped for. I roughly guessed the reason, but I asked first.

“Why?”

“Because Warrior Kang Min-shik is the hero who saved us.”

A hero is someone who must save the world.

In order to defeat a huge enemy that cannot be solved by the humanity of that dimension, we bring humanity from another dimension that is not subject to the bridle of that dimension.

The hero is the only hope of the dimension.

The attention of all dimensions is focused on the warrior, and each small action becomes a big topic.

All humanity in the dimension cheers and supports the hero and dedicates everything to assist him.

And after all that hardship, he is the one who eventually saved the world.

He is a hero.

Searching for such a person with any intention meant that he would never receive favorable glances.

“Maybe many people don’t even know about the hero’s return. But suddenly, if we are looking for the hero, we will ask why, and in some cases, we may try to find the hero first and protect him.”

It cannot be said that there was only pure intention.

The hero who saved the world is already an overwhelming asymmetric force.

If they return to the original world on their own, they will gladly welcome them back, but if they return, they will have no choice but to frantically try to bring the warriors from each country into their arms.

“Then is there any other way?”

“there is. Whoever enters through the dimensional barrier leaves a trace. And the mother tree knows the traces.”

Diane put down the empty teacup.

“I will guide you there.”

“… you bastards. It’s a different story.”

old tavern. Kang Min-shik gnashed his teeth as he poured the cool dark beer into his mouth at once.

He said that if he escaped, he would take care of everything behind the scenes.

I believed it. But now, the words have changed.

“You want me to come now and endure the migration?”

Two weeks, short if short, long if long.

However, if the opponent who is looking for him is a warden who has been overwhelming even against dozens of warriors, it doesn’t feel like a minute or a second is short.

I’ve been holding my breath for some reason.

“···no it’s okay. It will be fine.”

There are many dimensions. Innumerable.

Of those countless dimensions, how would the warden know right away which dimension he came from?

No matter how good Cerberus’ sense of smell is, it cannot cross the dimension. That much was certain.

“There’s no way you can find me in just two weeks among so many dimensions.”

It’s not that difficult.

Just two weeks, quietly, hiding as if you were dead.

“···uh? Aren’t you the hero Kang Min-sik?”

“…I misunderstood the person.”

“Oh, sorry.”

“I said no. The hero is said to have passed away to the original world, but how can he be here?”

“is it···?”

The man who saved this world was so famous, but he’ll be fine. maybe.

Kang Min-shik crumpled a newspaper that was still praising his achievements.
