Kang Hwan-gye (2)
Drasha, the capital of the Elven Kingdom.
“Ugh—.”
A deep sigh escaped Cecily Grandwood as she left the castle located in the center of it all.
‘Where on earth are you going all of a sudden…’
Just a few hours earlier, she had been troubled by the outbursts of her supposed motive, Harris.
He, who had been faithfully guarding the World Tree in case of an emergency, suddenly requested a vacation.
In fact, that in itself wasn’t that unusual.
Since everyone needs rest and time for themselves no matter where they are, the other high elves also agreed without saying much and told them to get some rest.
The problem wasn’t that he was leaving Drasha, but that he was going to an unknown place outside of the Elven Kingdom.
‘···You didn’t say where, but I have a feeling it’s not the Enamel Continent.’
Naturally, the high elves, including Cecily, tried to stop him.
How could we just ignore the fact that a high elf, one of the few symbolic beings in the Elven Kingdom, and an important figure who has suddenly risen to the top of the power, would go alone to a place where there could be an unknown threat?
But he came across as very stubborn, unlike his usual calm demeanor, and in the end they had no choice but to back down because of his stubbornness.
‘Now that we’ve eliminated the threats including the lycanthrope and have sufficient defenses in place, it’s okay for him to leave.’
The agreed upon time was exactly ten days.
Harris, who had promised to return within ten days, had just taken off on a forest path to an unknown destination.
“I hope nothing happens.”
I didn’t think that someone that strong would be easily harmed, but the world is so dangerous these days, so I couldn’t help but be worried.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just lie down like usual and do photosynthesis?
She was walking down the street with that kind of mind—.
A little way away, someone could be spotted loitering around the wooden hill where Harris usually loitered.
‘Huh? Shapiron···?’
An elf girl with a basket of snacks in her hand, her blue hair fluttering as if she were well-groomed, constantly looking around.
It was Shapiron Silvesti, Laforie’s daughter.
We participated in the delegation together and were of similar age, so we naturally became quite close.
‘Oh! No way.’
I often saw Harris and her hanging out together as I went back and forth.
Most of the time, we would just sit next to him, eating snacks or muttering.
So, of course, I thought he had told her in advance…
Now that I look at it, it seems like he just left without saying anything to her.
‘No, what’s so urgent?’
Cecily, who had been frozen for a moment, soon met eyes directly with a pair of blue eyes that had been looking around.
Shapiron opens his eyes wide and nods his head.
Looking at that innocent look, my heart became heavier for no reason.
“Haa— This guy, just look at him….”
Cecily sighed again and walked slowly towards her.
I vowed to say something when Harris returned.

Danger level very high, survival first.
I couldn’t just send any avatar into such a dangerous world.
Since there is a summon release, you won’t die easily, but isn’t it a waste to go through all that trial and error?
‘Force is essential to obtain accurate local information and ensure safety. There is no need to struggle from the bottom when you have overwhelming power!’
While Hans was busy recovering from his immortality and working on his research, Heinz II was busy taking care of both worlds.
Heinrich was the center of attention of the entire continent, and Harley still had a lot of work to do in the south.
‘In the end, it means that Harris is the only one who has nothing to do.’
Of course, Harris was in a position where he couldn’t be away for long, so after establishing the necessary bridgehead, he had to return to the Elven Kingdom.
The time given to him right now is about 10 days.
That was enough time to achieve the primary goal.
Kang Hwan-gye’s mother.
In the middle of an uninhabited mountainous area.
Sup— ha—
“This is Ganghwan-gye… It’s not that bad, is it?”
Harris, who had taken his first steps into a new world, took a deep breath and nodded.
It wasn’t as clean as Auterica, where the World Tree exists, but compared to the dirty air on Earth, this place was like a clean area.
‘It’s partly due to environmental pollution, but there’s also a big difference depending on whether or not there’s energy spread throughout the world.’
A mysterious wasteland where not a single particle of energy is mixed into the atmosphere—unlike Earth, the air of the Ganghwan Realm constantly circulates with energy unique to this world, purifying the world’s turbid air.
‘Is this the energy? It’s a subtle feeling.’
As a high elf who was sensitive to nature and a strong person who had reached transcendence, I could definitely feel it.
Not only is the energy different, but the composition of the atmosphere is also clearly different from that of Outerica or Earth.
‘It’s amazing to experience it again. What makes an Awakened person unaffected by such an unusual environment?’
Independence that is not bound by the laws of each dimension and homeostasis that maintains its own unique properties even in such an environment.
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like something like this could have happened for no reason.
“Hmm.”
The blond, green-eyed prince with long ears tilted his head slightly, stroked his chin, then shook his head.
Now was not the time to ponder the secrets of the world.
‘What matters now is that the experiment was successful.’

Thanks to this, the second feat following ‘returning to Earth by one’s own power’ was achieved, and ‘Summoning the Otherworldly Teleportation Formation’ was strengthened.
Transmission, which was possible once every ten days in other world time, has now been reduced to just five days.
‘A privilege that allows you to go back to a place you have passed through in another world.’
And that was the key to Harris being able to cross over to the Kang Hwan system.
The result of Hans’ research, based on vivid ideological information extracted from Salma, a master of the present world.
‘So this is the place Salma passed through?’
Finally, he deceived not only himself but also the world—.
It was a success in twisting the causality as if he had personally visited the place that Salma remembered.
“Then, shall we begin a full-scale on-site investigation···?”
Harris looked around at the forest and trees around him and smiled faintly.
Although they were all unfamiliar plants that he was seeing for the first time, the refreshing energy they gave off was enough to satisfy him, who had a “natural fairy tale.”
This is enough···.
“Come out, Pascal.”
Wheeeeeeee—
His spirits will also be able to play quite comfortably from now on.

Yanghyeongsan Mountain near Jangsa City, Honam Province.
“Tch, crap. We lost business today.”
“There’s nothing we can do. The situation is what it is. How many fools would dare to run around without fear when the country is already in ruins?”
“Is this the time to talk so peacefully? If we keep doing this, we’ll all starve to death! Shouldn’t we move somewhere else?”
“It seems like the boss is already worried about where to move. He must be thinking a lot since he couldn’t even hold out in Sohochae and moved a while ago.”
There was a group of five or six people huddled together and gossiping at the entrance to the mountain path that one had to pass in order to get over the mountain.
He is a self-proclaimed mountain warrior and a hero who criticizes the world for its wrongdoings.
To put it bluntly, they were bandits.
“Oh, there. There’s still no signal from the entrance? If you keep going today, the boss will be really upset.”
“Ugh. I guess I was wrong again today.”
“Ugh, there’s no such thing as a good boss these days. I wish a rich fool would just fall from the sky.”
“Kihihi— If you’re going to talk nonsense, just grow up, Ma! What are you doing in this beautiful sky… Huh?”
Just then, an unexpected situation arose for them, who had been living in harmony and keeping the peace in the mountains as always.
“Huh?! What’s that? It came this way···!”
Starting with the shock of someone who discovered something while looking up at the sky without thinking, and then one by one, they raised their heads to follow his gaze and—.
Hoooooow—!
In the midst of a sudden, violent storm.
“Oh, found someone.”
A man suddenly fell from the sky.
With a peaceful voice that somehow makes you feel drowsy just by listening to it.
And the moment they faced him, the same thought spread among the bandits.
‘···Is this really a person?’
It had to be that way.
I could somewhat accept the blonde hair and green eyes.
Although people with colored eyes are rare in this land, it’s not like there are none at all.
‘Is that person cute? And the eyes…!’
‘Hey… a monster?!’
But in every other respect, it was far beyond what they could accept.
A beautiful face with perfect form, ears sticking out on both sides, and star-shaped pupils inside green eyes.
Didn’t you even fly down from the sky with a typified wind surrounding your body?
This was a strange story that even those who looked at the world with an open mind and no prejudice would have a hard time accepting.
“······.”
“······.”
The bandits exchanged glances furtively.
It was to ask each other’s opinions in this sudden situation, but in fact, what they had to do had already been decided.
“Oh my~! What brings you to such a shabby place, Grandmaster!”
The bandit with the big mole on his nose, who had been wishing for a tiger to fall from the sky, was the first to fall flat on his face and cry out sadly.
“Your Majesty, to these worthless people···”
“Well, if there’s anything you want, anything···.”
“My old mother is waiting, looking only at me…”
The bandits who followed quickly buried their heads in the ground.
It was a quick assessment of the situation, as expected from those who have survived until now only with the survival instinct at the bottom.
Putting everything else aside, how could anyone do something so crazy as to act thoughtlessly against someone who could control the wind and fly through the sky?
“Hmm, these are people who understand quickly.”
Harris, the stranger who came down from the sky, nodded his head in satisfaction, perhaps liking their appearance.
From my first encounter with the people of this world, I was satisfied that I didn’t have to use too much force.
‘First of all, I didn’t know that “Xenoglossi” would be active here. I thought this was a dud, but it turned out to be a winner, right?’
I could feel it naturally as I started talking to the locals here.
Now, I understand their words and that “Xenoglossi” is involved in every language that comes out of their mouths.
The system’s automatic translation function only applied to the first dimension that was officially entered, and no service was provided for dimensions entered without permission.
‘If this hadn’t been there, I would have wasted a lot of time bringing Hans back and learning a new language, etc.’
As things turned out this way, I naturally started to become interested in the 『Random Guitar Skill Acquisition』 that I had obtained through “Xenoglossy”.
Of course, it requires a huge expenditure of 500,000 points…
‘No, no. Let’s think about that later.’
The temptation to pull out a ticket was creeping up on him, but right now he had to focus on the situation in front of him.
“Then, first of all, could you please guide me to your base?”
In fact, it wasn’t long before we discovered them from afar and had already figured out the existence of the nearby wild vegetables.
They just came here first because they were closer.
In other words, this was just a simple formality.
“May I ask why you would visit such a shabby place?”
“Oh my! This guy! … Hehe, of course! Please follow me! I will guide you as quickly and comfortably as possible!”
The quick-witted big dot bandit, sensing the corners of his eyes slightly rising at the question from his oblivious friend, immediately guided him back to liven up the mood.
I almost felt a little offended, but I couldn’t help but think that it was a blessing in disguise.
To them, of course.
And it was only natural.
Guided into the mountains like that, he caught all the bandits in an instant and was soon able to begin interrogating them and gathering information in earnest.
This happened just over an hour after the mysterious master ‘Harry Soo’ appeared in this world.
