Even if the warden is gone, the clock in purgatory runs.

The World Tree, which started moving again, created a roar, vibration, and unstable mana waves as before.

“To complete the sky clouds in just two weeks? You have to do crazy things in moderation.”

Dercain grumbled as he patched up the cracked outer wall without the slightest blemish.

“They are at least repairing what they broke. I didn’t do anything, what is this like?”

Sienna, who was pulling out burnt grass and planting new grass next to her, smiled.

“You didn’t do anything, did you?”

“You asked me to let you go, so you said I did something wrong?”

“Hmm, I don’t mean that.”

Derkain cleared his throat awkwardly and focused on his work again.

With the departure of the warden, a time limit of two weeks was introduced.

He entrusted the restoration of the broken purgatory to the dwarves and the production of magic tools.

The elves were entrusted with restoring the burned garden and moving the world tree.

The two prisoners, who had suddenly taken on the heavy workload, had no choice but to move quickly.

“By the way, what if it’s a cloud in the sky? A magic tool that I started making at the request of the warden.”

“Right.”

“You can perfectly hide the world tree?”

“Theoretically, yes.”

“You make things like that with ease. If you were the warden, wouldn’t you be terrified?”

“You are shaking. However, there is an opponent who is more angry, so I am holding back for a while. Then why are you suddenly so cooperative?”

“It happened to me too.”

To be honest, Sienna couldn’t properly understand the current board.

The high elf who said he would destroy Purgatory and the warden who accepted it. No matter how much Yulia swore on the World Tree, there was a limit that could be trusted.

Even so, it was because of the World Tree that cooperated. It was because of Yulia and the warden that they went together to catch the escaped prisoner.

“I thought you were going to move the world tree.”

“That’s something other elves can do. Restoring the garden is the fastest for me with abundant mana. Better to finish quickly and rest. That one?”

“It is the same. Although I can’t rest. The blueprints are out and all you have to do is make them, but it’s better to finish one thing quickly and work on it than to be engrossed in two things.”

Because of this, all the Dwarves were scattered throughout Purgatory, repairing their broken wounds.

“Can you make it in two weeks?”

“Twelve days to be exact. Fortunately, nothing was seriously damaged, so it looks like this side will be all over in two days.”

If you ask me if I am

“Would you do it on your own? I’m just going to try it.”

“It’s a lot of trouble. by the way. You say Kang Min-shik escaped from prison?”

“I know that.”

“I still don’t understand. How are the humans confined in the 3rd Punishment Room?”

“Do you understand how we released all four restraints in a matter of months after we studied so much?”

“No way.”

“Honestly, I was suspicious from the beginning, but I was trying hard to ignore the fact that I could escape, but now I understand. There is one thing that prisons and prisons have in common. What do you think it might be?”

“Don’t do trivia quizzes, just answer them.”

“It’s the power of the damn people who got us here.”

Purgatory is, after all, a prison created by the power of the gods. A prison where the gods imprison warriors who have exhausted their usefulness, and those who do not obey.

“Kang Min-sik is their boss. It’s an intentionally planted spy.”

“For what?”

“It’s obvious. Isn’t that a prison break?”

“I don’t understand any more. Aren’t they the ones who made the prison and imprisoned us? But why?”

“If someone breaks out, who do you think will be most responsible?”

“Of course it’s the warden.”

“Didn’t that answer come out?”

For a moment, there was silence. And Sienna’s face slowly contorted.

“…So you’re not on the side of the warden and the assholes? Does that make sense?”

“On one side.”

“What?”

“On the surface. I don’t think there was an agreement between the damn bastards and the warden. This time, based on the contract, I am trying to discipline the director by passing the responsibility on.”

“Does that make sense?”

“It makes sense, so I’m changing my attitude and cooperating with the director.”

“No, how faithfully does the warden serve us… Wait a minute, could it be that…?”

“Do you know anything?”

“Wait a minute.”

Why did Yulia say such nonsense, but the warden accepted it?

Only then did Siena understand everything.

The basic premise was wrong from the start.

By the way.

‘How did Julia know this?’

If it’s a coincidence, it doesn’t make sense. Julia’s condition was that she had to know the warden’s circumstances, but it was a proposal that could be made.

* * *

Camping across the mountains where monsters overflow, meeting with mercenaries at an old tavern, being pickpocketed by the thieves guild and learning true education, visiting the wizard guild and talking with wizards, meeting with a certain noble family.

The same thing didn’t happen.

Two weeks was too short to rummage through the two dimensions.

Kim Woo-jin did not give room for all miscellaneous events.

“Which side is the World Tree on?”

“It is quite far. For now, it’s northeast of here.”

“get on.”

I rode the deokgu and ran in a straight line. Cerberus, who used the power of stealth, could be found only at the level of strong people who were counted among the ten fingers in at least one dimension.

Such people are not common, so there was never anyone who could block the speeding Deokgu.

It took about half a day and passed thousands of kilometers. And finally, a vast forest spread out before my eyes.

“Everywhere the elves live is the same.”

wooded forest. There was only a difference in the amount and the difference in the trees, but they were all the same.

“Absolutely. The forest is the home of elves. I think arguing about that is like asking people why they build houses.”

“I didn’t say anything specific.”

It was just a normal impression.

“There is a barrier.”

“I know. I can feel the presence of the mother tree in the center of the forest. The barrier spreads out with the mother tree as its nucleus. Anyone who is not allowed will never be able to pass through.”

“you?”

She was a high elf, but not a high elf in this world. I came to feel the existence of the World Tree, but the World Tree did not send an invitation.

“Perhaps you will be happy to welcome them. Please go to the front of the barrier.”

“Did you hear that, Deokgu?”

Whoops!

But Julia was confident.

I got off Deokgu’s back and slowly made my way towards the invisible barrier. He reached out and touched the transparent membrane. I closed my eyes and communicated.

“Mother tree, the clan of the forest…”

Soon, part of the barrier opened.

“Did you see it? Go.”

“It’s okay if I go, right?”

“We talked about being together. The mother tree will not reject you.”

Indeed, the barrier did not show any reaction until Kim Woo-jin and Deok-gu crossed over.

“Essence of the rich forest… It feels like coming back to my hometown after a long time.”

It was only a simple curtain, but there was a big difference between the outside and the inside. The quality and concentration of pure yet clean mana were different.

“…The spirit is thicker than I thought. This is difficult.”

“Yeah? What?”

“stop.”

At that time, I felt a large number of people. The tip of the arrow was pointed at Kim Woo-jin, Yulia, and Deok-gu.

“How did you open the barrier?”

“Who are you guys!”

“Masuda! The witch is with you!”

“Don’t move! If you don’t want a hole in your head!”

Voices full of hostility were never kind.

“The talk went well.”

“It went well. However, I don’t think the conversation with the mother tree was transmitted directly to the elves in the outskirts.”

“It must be for that reason.”

Conflict should be avoided as much as possible. There’s nothing good about letting the superior know he’s here.

“I’m sure that’s why. Guys, hold on!”

Yulia took a step forward. Pat, an arrow landed in front of her foot.

“I thought I told you not to move?”

“We are not enemies.”

“Moving with a monster like that? How did you open the barrier of the forest…?”

Yulia pulled back the robe that half covered her face. The robe stopped working as the face was fully exposed. The energy that had not been revealed began to flow little by little.

“···Elf?”

“No, this energy…”

“High Elf…?”

“But I’m seeing it for the first time…”

“I’m with the Witchbeast…?”

Elves instinctively recognize nobles. The high elf’s sudden appearance made the elves’ murmur grow.

“I followed the lead of the mother tree. Could you lead us to the mother tree?”

“···that’s.”

The elves hesitated. It is true that high elves are nobles who are respected and considered sacred by the elves. However, the high elf in front of him was a being he had never seen before, and it was a problem that he was working with a demon.

“It is you.”

At that time, a new elf appeared from behind the elves.

“Dian.”

It was an elf, no, a high elf, with a sturdy physique, snow-white hair and purple eyes.

“Fortunately, it is not too late. The mother tree said. A high elf from another world will come, so open the path without blocking it.”

The high elf nodded and bowed.

“nice to see you. This is Diane Pelombeg.”

“I’m Julia Karsen.”

“This one…?”

“They are my colleagues. I want to see the mother tree together, is that possible?”

“of course. The mother tree said that the party would be together. I didn’t know that the Witchbeast would be with you.”

Perhaps because of the words of the World Tree, Diane’s appreciation for the three-headed monster was the end of it.

“This is Diane.”

“This is Kim Woo-jin.”

“Thank you all for your hard work. I will guide them, so please return to their original positions.”

“Yes!”

After greeting Kim Woo-jin, Dian led them into the forest.

* * *

The huge monster that appeared in the forest where the elves lived was like an ink dot printed on a white sheet of paper.

It attracted a lot of attention and attention, and a lot of people were wary of Deokgu.

“It’s the first high elf I’ve ever seen.”

“Dian is with you. It is not an enemy.”

“Why do high elves go around with witches?”

“It’s full of ominous things.”

But maybe it was because the high elf, Diane, was with them, so it didn’t spread into further commotion.

“Welcome.”

As the tree that pierced the sky that seemed far away was getting closer, a group of people greeted them.

An elderly high elf was in the lead.

“Nice to meet you. I am the warchief in charge of Kraft’s elves, Zelyan Cadene.”

“I’m Yulia Carsen, the high elf of Arban.”

“Even though there was a message from the mother tree, I didn’t really know that a child from another dimension would come. The mother tree called, so I won’t ask about the purpose. Go with Diane. This child will lead you to the mother tree.”

“Thank you for the favor.”

“It is natural to help the high elves.”

The warchief, who appeared out of courtesy, disappeared again with his attendants. No more elves appeared after that.

“No elf can come close to you without the mother tree’s permission. This is because the mother tree’s mana is thick and it adversely affects children who lack abilities.”

The mana of the world tree that has lived for a long time becomes pure and abundant. It was a level that the elves who lacked the level could not handle, so it was overpaid.

“You mean the mana is so overflowing that you can’t handle it? Could you tell me when the World Tree took root?”

“I don’t know why, but the mother tree took root and started taking care of us elves about 12,000 years ago.”

“okay.”

Kim Woo-jin’s expression slightly distorted.

“I am here. If you go a little further, the mother tree will be waiting for you.”

“Aren’t you going with me?”

“The mother tree wanted a private meeting with all of you.”

Diane is gone.

“Why did you ask that earlier?”

“I feel like I have a headache. I didn’t want it to last more than ten thousand years.”

“What will change after 10,000 years?”

“I know when I see it. Anyway, I have to break through this head-on.”

And finally, Kim Woo-jin stood in front of a huge tree.

Kreung.

Deokgu snorted as if he didn’t like the pure mana.

– Nice to meet you. A child from another dimension.

– Welcome to Kraft.

At that time, the world tree trembled. A giant silver reindeer rose from the ground through the fluttering leaves.

It was the spirit body of the world tree.

“See the mother tree.”

– I’ve lived a long life, but I never thought I’d see a child from another dimension.

Yulia bowed her head.

– It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a human being in that condition.

The reindeer’s gaze turned to Kim Woo-jin.

The World Tree, which has lived for a long time, was able to get a glimpse of its essence just by looking at its appearance.

– It’s a personal curiosity, but may I take a look at you a little more?

“no.”

– Too bad. However, I don’t think it’s particularly harmful or dangerous to you, so I’ll do as you say.

Kim Woo-jin frowned at the way he spoke, as if he could see through everything and knew everything.

Will Lily become like that when she grows up?

I don’t like it because it doesn’t taste cute.

Lily, a precious blue bird that is smaller than the world tree, is better than Lily, who likes him and rubs his cheek.

– He’s from another dimension.

– The reason you found me with that human is probably because of the hero who returned here a while ago, right?

found.

There was no need to ask further.

Kang Min-sik was here.

But Kim Woo-jin did not laugh. His eyes were always fixed on the World Tree.
