There is only a difference in degree, but mana exists in all dimensions.

And all that mana has the scent of each dimension. It doesn’t mean much. Just like the forest air is fresher than the city air, the winter air is colder than the summer air, just like that.

In general, it is so subtle that you do not notice much of a difference. But it was enough to give the high elves a sense of coming home.

“I never thought I would be able to come back to the Daydram so soon.”

“It must have been at least a hundred years.”

If the world tree germinates according to the normal route and grows to the point where communication is possible, it will take that much time.

This is possible because Purgatory is a cross-dimensional space and is rich in mana. If it was a general level, it would have taken more time than that.

“Did you even try to invade Purgatory by connecting the World Trees?”

“The sky is so clear.”

“Managers need to know this.”

“Then I will not die alone. I will tell you everything.”

“Will you and the people behind you all suffer?”

“…wouldn’t you believe me if I told you that the warden ordered it?”

He nodded. Julia changed the topic.

“Can I direct you right away?”

“Do you know of any guild? Since he was a warrior, there must have been quite a few members of the upper ranks rushing to eat at least some bean curd.”

“The top?”

“I have to get the elixir first.”

“There is one human guild that I know of.”

“What size?”

“big. Before I left, there were branches all over the country.”

If that’s the case, it’s a fairly large group. If you’re lucky, you’ll have the elixir right away, or you’ll have a string across the continent to get information about the elixir auction.

“Let’s go right away.”

“Wait. Is it okay if I just go? Did I feel something when I saw Kraft?”

“If your companion is trustworthy.”

“Did you notice?”

“The elves’ poor human relations are obvious.”

“You’re not poor, are you?”

“It’s true that you have very little personal interaction with other races.”

There are some individual differences, but in general it is. Elves are not so open-minded.

If the high elf, the pinnacle, would introduce them without hesitation, it meant that they could be trusted that much, and they were most likely to be the hero’s companions.

“It’s believable.”

“That’s it.”

The high elves’ trust would never be light.

Gwangryong, who disturbed the world, is dead.

The great warrior, Yulia Karsen, was decapitated under the sword. Gwangryong’s corpse was like a mountain, and his blood formed a river.

The Legion of Gwangryong, who destroyed as many as 17 kingdoms, was disintegrated.

Too many countries were destroyed, too many lands were devastated.

too many people died

won nonetheless. People cheered and the festival continued for a week.

The continent transcended races and countries and truly became one. It was possible because they formed an alliance together and fought against Gwangryong, and because they survived.

‘I think my task has ended here.’

At that time when everyone was happy, the hero who cut the head of Gwangryong said.

‘Now I don’t need to be here anymore.’

I will leave.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden announcement. Even before they could get drunk on the sweetness of victory, everyone stopped when they said that the leading role would be left out.

‘I have a hometown too.’

But at that, everyone sincerely wished the hero happiness. No, not all.

‘Do I have to go? There is a saying that if you attach affection to it, it is your hometown. Can’t we just be together here?’

Most people don’t know, but there were colleagues who stopped the hero until the end, but still couldn’t stop it.

“It looks like I’m looking at something. It was a bit overkill these days.”

I haven’t been able to sleep properly for two weeks because I’ve been working.

Edmund smiled awkwardly and rubbed his eyes. I stretched out, relieved my stiff shoulders and back, and got into the car myself.

As I took a sip of tea made with dried flower petals, the freshness relieved my drowsy mind.

“It’s already night.”

Outside the window was full of black darkness.

I put down the teacup and moved my gaze back to the front. Nothing changed.

“···What.”

“Are you still drinking the tea I recommended?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty good for recovering from fatigue.”

“Looks like a lot of work.”

“The scale of the upper ranks has grown. It can’t even be compared to when you left…”

A rough, rough hand slapped Edmund’s cheek. It was his own right hand.

“It hurts.”

Jjaaak, this time the left hand slapped the other cheek.

“What are you doing?”

“It seems that he thinks he is dreaming. Please understand. I am a person with a bit of a blind spot. It’s nice though.”

“Isn’t that what you say when there’s absolutely no corner to praise?”

“It can’t be. Still, he was the best wizard on the continent.”

“A wizard like me?”

“Now that I have taken over the family business, the role of a merchant is bigger. But it’s not like the magician’s ability has disappeared.”

“In the end, it’s just that he’s a little rusty wizard… The reaction from someone who said he was a hero’s colleague is pitiful.”

By the time he recognized the man’s contemptuous gaze, Edmund’s eccentricity was over.

Finally, he recognized reality.

“…Yulia?”

“Hello, Edmund. Long time no see.”

“…Is this really Yulia? Are you really that Julia Karsen?”

“If what you know is the high elf who fought the light dragon together.”

“That makes no sense! Yulia is gone!”

“But I know how you confessed to Daisy. The dead witch beast…”

“…that’s right Yulia.”

“I haven’t told you everything yet.”

“Is there anyone other than you who would say something like that out of the blue?”

“There is no one other than you who confesses like that.”

“…Enough with that story. Didn’t you go back?”

“I went back.”

Although it was not Arban, the original world.

“But you came back? why? No, of course I’m glad to see you again… but was dimension shifting that easy?”

“Of course you know not.”

Edmond grabbed his confused head.

To think that Yulia would come back half a year after leaving. It was a completely unexpected visit and meeting.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but I’m here because I have a request.”

“ask?”

“Yes, the elixir…”

Then, the door burst open.

“Edmund! I baked cookies myself… but…”

A blonde woman who came in energetically carrying a charred cookie stopped at the presence of uninvited guests.

“…Yulia?”

With a clang, the plate fell to the floor. Cookie pieces scattered along with the fragments. One of them landed in Kim Woo-jin’s hand.

It slipped right into my mouth. Kim Woo-jin’s face was distorted.

“…is this a cookie?”

The cookie pieces that had gone into his mouth returned to the floor.

There were four companions who saved the world along with Yulia Karsen, a hero summoned from another dimension.

The archmage, Edmund Freyn, and the berserker, Daisy Hawkne, were among them.

“So you came to get the elixir?”

A smile did not leave the berserker’s face, which was insufficient to hide his emotions.

“Yeah, can I get it?”

“Of course! Edmund is a pretty good merchant. I’m sure he’ll save you.”

“No, the elixir is not so easily obtainable, so the answer is a bit…”

“Will you not? Is it Yulia?”

“I will try, but there may be situations where I can’t help it.”

“I have to save it somehow. This is Julia.”

At her words, Kim Woo-jin weakly nodded. Thanks to the connections Yulia had accumulated, it seemed that it might be easier to get there than I thought.

“What you need is the highest quality elixir. Like description plants or Dwaig roots.”

“It’s worth calling for something like that, and it’s so rare that one comes out every 100 years or not.”

“You don’t need anything less than that. You don’t have to get the same thing, but the class has to be right.”

“I’ll try to figure it out, but it won’t be easy.”

Kim Woo-jin, who was talking about his request, felt a stinging gaze. Daisy’s blue eyes were all over his face.

“What?”

“Yulia, I’ve been wondering since before, what the hell is this dog who spit out my cookie, no, this person? Since we’re human, we can’t be lovers.”

“It’s a colleague. for now.”

“for now? What is that vague answer?”

“Since we decided to join forces for the same goal, we are colleagues for now.”

“But once, doesn’t that mean you can betray at any time?”

“That depends on how Yulia does it.”

“What, no matter how you look at it, it’s not an ordinary colleague relationship?”

“… Ahahahaha, I just want you to know that there are circumstances.”

Daisy gave him a disapproving look, but soon withdrew it. It was to believe in Julia.

“If you want to save that much young grass, the best way is to publicly announce your return, Yulia.”

warriors are heroes Announcing the return of the hero who saved the world and wanting something, there were a lot of people who would come with dual arms.

whether that means good or bad.

“Although many countries will use that as an excuse to try to get you.”

“I don’t want it to be revealed that I have returned. I can’t stay long anyway.”

“I thought so.”

Edmund’s gaze briefly reached Kim Woo-jin.

Edmund was also strong, although not as strong as Yulia who cut off the head of the light dragon. He was the greatest wizard on the continent as a great wizard with eight inscriptions.

But nothing is felt. His magic, the eyes of wisdom, could not see through anything against a human named Kim Woo-jin. like Julia.

That means only one thing.

be strong An insane level of strength that overwhelms him.

I wondered where he had brought such a person. Could it be a hero from another dimension?

‘…It seems pretty plausible.’

It was a fairly reasonable inference for something that came about by chance. In his common sense, the only thing equal to a hero is a hero.

“I will try my best. Even if it’s necessary, I’ll mobilize everything I can.”

“thanks.”

“Do you have accommodation?”

“no.”

“Then stay here tonight. I’ll give you an outbuilding.”

“I will guide you.”

Daisy disappeared with Yulia and Kim Woo-jin.

Edmund, left alone, was lost in thought.

“…but what really happened?”

The hero who disappeared after saving the world came to seek the elixir with another hero.

Since it was Yulia’s request, he was trying to fulfill it somehow, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand it.

“…wouldn’t you know if a pan-dimensional crisis had struck…?”

A pan-dimensional crisis?

So warriors unite?

An assumption struck his mind.

Meanwhile, Kim Woo-jin and Yulia arrived at the annex.

“You can stay here.”

“Not bad.”

As if shouting that the huge outbuilding belonged to the grand corps, it was so luxurious.

“Thank you, then tomorrow…”

Kim Woo-jin went inside first. As Yulia started to follow suit, Daisy’s hand caught her collar.

“why?”

“What the hell is that guy?”

“Um, like I said earlier, colleagues?”

“What is it? Are you receiving threats?”

“I’m still a warrior.”

“That person looks like a warrior too. I cannot read the same as you.”

It was said that he far surpassed Daisy, who was a hero’s colleague.

“If you are being threatened, hit the carrot bell in the annex.”

“uh?”

“I don’t know what happened, but if you ask, I’ll do anything to help.”

“No, you don’t have to…”

“Don’t be too burdened. Thanks to you, everyone survived, and this much is natural.”

Daisy put on a determined expression.

– The child is here.

The dimensional barrier was opened. Opening was more accurate. And the traces were completely erased.

No one but her would know of the visitor’s existence.

“So fast…”

The high elf serving the world tree bowed.

– Yes, what happened is that the seed had already germinated and formed an elemental body.

Something went wrong.

“Are you okay?”

– First of all, since you came here safely, you have to assume that you are moving in the right direction somehow.

The fact that Yulia, who was confined in Purgatory as a prisoner, was able to escape and cross the dimension itself meant that.

Even if it doesn’t go completely according to plan, at least it’s not going for the worst.

– Above all, the director is also with him.

“I have heard many stories.”

– Indeed, Albenius had a reason to boast so much.

– There are no monsters.

The Spirit of the World Tree, the little sparrow, laughed.

– But I guess you don’t intend to come right away. I’m going somewhere else.

“What are they up to?”

– You won’t know until you meet him in person.

– For now, don’t let anyone know.

– Rumors shouldn’t spread.

“Yes, I will follow your orders.”

The high elves retreated. Left alone, the sparrow crossed his arms.

– The Cosmic Contract by the Akashic Records. The current purgatory has a greater sense of tying up the warden than the warriors.

– Being feared by the gods and bound by a contract. Director of Purgatory, Kim Woo-jin. I wonder what kind of person you are.

– Is it as Albenius said?

Huhu, the sparrow let out a strange laugh.
