Episode 126

63. Saved the City – 2

“Wow. It really is the breath of the dragon.”

“Did you know it had this much power?”

Hongryeon snickered at Leehan’s words that followed.

The sweltering heat still lingered.

All the monsters gathered in the Black Mountains died from the intense heat that burned down half of the Black Mountains.

I thought that since it was called the dragon’s breath, it would have great power.

However, when Lee Han asked in a trembling voice, not knowing that he would possess this much power, Hongryeon looked at him as if he found it strange.

“It’s the dragon’s breath, so of course.”

“Even if it’s obvious, I’ve never seen it.”

“Hmm. Is that so? Long ago, when the dragon fought against chaos, it was said that with one breath of its breath, thousands of monsters were burned. What you wrote contains that breath, so it is only natural that it has this much power.”

Even the higher-ranking monsters that were waiting outside were swept away without being able to resist.

Lee Han shrugged his shoulders as he examined the remains of the monster that had disappeared without even leaving behind a magic stone.

“I should make you something delicious.”

“Huh?! You’re not just going to do this to that old lady, are you?! I fought really hard, too?! And if it weren’t for my web, the aftermath would’ve been a huge blow to them!”

Hongryeon grabbed Leehan and spoke earnestly.

When Lee Han smiled at her, who had an expression on her face that looked like she might burst into tears at any moment, a voice was heard from behind her.

“Brother Lee Han!!”

“Brother Lee Han!!”

As the twins ran towards him, holding the explanation in their arms, Lee Han patted their heads.

“Wow. That was so scary earlier!”

“I almost cried~!”

As the twins were chattering away about when the Dragon’s Breath was activated, the explanation that had been held by them climbed onto Lee Han’s shoulder and spoke.

“It looks like this side is pretty much sorted out.”

“That’s true, but… Hongryeon. What happened to the forces of chaos that were here?”

“Those guys? It looks like all the subordinates are dead.”

The rest, excluding those caught by Hongryeon, were waiting to attack the Dwarven City.

Hongryeon said casually that they seemed to have been swallowed up by the dragon’s breath and died, and then put her arm around Lee Han’s shoulder.

“But doesn’t the fact that they’ve moved mean that the forces of chaos have begun to become active in earnest?”

“Yes. Well, I guess so. There was a letter sent to Dwarven City.”

“This is going to be annoying… … .”

“That’s one thing, but I also need to get some dirt trees and snow flowers.”

The wood needed to grow the World Tree, and the dragon’s request.

Lee Han thought for a moment and then chuckled. The transmission of blacksmithing skills was almost over, so there wasn’t much time left until he left.

Lee Han looked around at the citizens of Dwarven City who were cheering and rejoicing, then spoke to Hongryeon and the twins.

“Let’s go get something to eat.”

A few days have passed since the monsters attacked.

The citizens were so happy that they held a festival because the Dwarven City, which seemed on the verge of destruction, was finally safe.

Thanks to this, the twins couldn’t help but be excited.

While he and Eric enjoyed the festival in Dwarven City, Lee Han continued to learn the basics of blacksmithing.

“Hmm… … At this point, I think I can definitely say that I have covered the basics.”

Carmen and the other dwarves looked at the swords Lee Han had made, and smiles appeared on their faces.

It’s a sword so good that even a dwarf would acknowledge it.

“But you shouldn’t be satisfied. You still have a long way to go to become a master.”

“Haha. Thank you. And you too.”

“What about gratitude.”

“It’s for the sake of my disciples. Well.”

“By the way, you said you lived in Daesurim, right? Oh my. If it’s for your disciple, then going to Daesurim is no problem.”

“You are my disciple!!”

Carmen screamed, but the dwarf didn’t pay any attention.

It was the end of a day in the workshop with its usual warm atmosphere.

“Lee Han! I brought a guest!”

“Huh? Who are you?”

“Hello, Mr. Lee Han. The mayor asked me to bring Mr. Lee Han.”

A city hall employee spoke with a polite greeting.

I looked over to see what was going on, but the employee just smiled softly.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay, everyone. Then I’ll go first.”

“Okay. See you next time!”

After saying goodbye to Carmen and the dwarves, Lee Han and Seol Myung moved to the city hall.

When we arrived in front of the city hall in a car driven by employees, Ragdoll was waiting with a happy face.

“welcome!!”

Ragdoll, who had been waiting at the main gate of the city hall, burst into laughter when Lee Han and Seol Myung got out.

You look quite tired.

Of course, he must have had a lot to do as mayor.

“Actually, I wanted to meet you sooner, but the circumstances are what they are. I hope you understand.”

“I completely understand.”

The Dwarven City was destroyed and many people were killed.

Fortunately, it ended without much damage, but it wasn’t like there was no damage at all.

How busy must he have been to take on that responsibility as mayor?

When Lee Han said this with a smile, Ragdoll was delighted and took Lee Han and Seollim to the mayor’s office.

Upon arriving at the mayor’s office, he brewed some tea and placed it in front of Lee Han and Seol Myung-yi before sighing heavily.

“There was more work to do than I thought.”

“That’s what it’s like for people in power. Don’t worry too much.”

“Hahaha. That’s right. Thank you for understanding. Anyway, that’s why. In order to remember Lee Han’s kindness, I would like to erect a statue of Lee Han in the city.”

“… … Are you kidding?”

There was no answer.

Just laugh.

When he shook his head in disappointment, Ragdoll licked his lips in regret.

“Still… … I would like to repay you for using that precious thing.”

Even Ragdoll knew how precious the dragon’s breath that Lee Han used was.

When I asked him what he wanted in return, he just said calmly.

“Just a piece of dirt and a snowflake will do.”

“That was what I originally wanted to give you, but… … . Ah. Or, how about making a vehicle for Lee Han?”

“But Dwarven City’s mounts can only be used in Dwarven City.”

“That’s true. Or what about the equipment? If it’s equipment made by the best craftsmen… … .”

Ragdoll wanted to repay the favor in some way, mentioning all the things he could give her.

But since he didn’t really feel like it, Lee Han just shrugged his shoulders and decided to leave this matter as a debt.

“Okay. Then let’s go see the earth tree and the snow flowers.”

The mayor immediately got up from his seat and headed to the basement with Lee Han and Seol Myung.

As I entered the heavily guarded basement and opened the large door, a cold air was emanating from inside.

“This is… … .”

“It’s the cold air created by snowflakes.”

When I pointed to a corner of the basement, I saw a strange device and a flower pot inside it.

Beautiful flowers, shaped like snowflakes, were growing in the flowerpot.

Seol-i opened her mouth after staring at the snow flower.

“Snow flowers are flowers that grow by accepting the cold air. When they release the cold air they have, they freeze the surroundings.”

“Any other precautions?”

“If you don’t constantly expose yourself to cold air, you’ll wither away.”

“That’s right. That device is the one that gives out air. To get to that device… … .”

“Ah. The device is fine.”

There is no problem since you can inject cold air by using Frost.

The mayor’s complexion improved significantly after he brought a pot of snowflakes and saw Lee Han using Frost.

“I was wondering how I could move that device since it’s quite heavy. But I guess that won’t be necessary.”

“Haha. I see.”

“Then let’s go see the earth tree.”

As we went down one more floor, the cold air disappeared and instead a damp air enveloped the surroundings.

There was a huge tree in the center of the underground space where there was only artificial light.

“Is this a dirt tree… … ?”

As Lee Han looked at him with a curious look, the mayor approached the dirt tree and lightly tapped it.

“The fruit of the earth tree strengthens the magical power contained in the earth.”

“What do you mean?”

“A long time ago, humans came to the Dwarven City and wanted the fruit of the Earth Tree. The fruit of the Earth Tree had no taste at all, so the Dwarves didn’t care much for it. So when they asked why they wanted it, the humans answered that if you grind up the fruit of the Earth Tree and sprinkle it on the ground, the soil will be imbued with nutrients and magic, greatly improving the quality of the crops that grow there.”

Ragdoll looked at the earth tree calmly, then plucked off a fruit from the earth tree and offered it to Leehan.

Lee Han, who was examining the walnut-like fruit of the earth tree here and there, smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

A fruit that helps with farming. For a farmer like me, there is nothing better than this.

‘I wonder what will come out if I combine the Hand of Purity, my supernatural powers, and the power of the Statue of the Goddess Gaia.’

The crops I am growing now are almost top quality, so I wonder what will come out if I use them as well.

Lee Han looked at the dirt tree with satisfaction.

“By the way, how should I give this… … .”

“Is this the only earthen tree there is?”

“This is the only dirt tree left in Dwarven City.”

“Did you intend to give me just one tree?”

“Hahaha. Of course I can give it to you, considering the favor I received from you, Mr. Lee Han.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

If there were a lot of dirt trees, it might be different, but even if there weren’t, it would be difficult to move such a large tree.

Lee Han, who thought it would be better to just take the fruit, took out the sack and held it out.

“Fill this with some earth tree fruit. That will do.”

“But it takes a long time for a clay tree to grow.”

As the market looked on worriedly, Lee Han planted the earth tree fruit he was holding on the ground and raised his hand.

“Strengthening intelligence, accelerating growth.”

As the earth became fertile and his powers were unleashed, sprouts of earth trees began to appear.

The mayor, who had been looking at it with a shocked face, slowly raised his head.

This was because the tree that had grown before we knew it had grown enough to bear fruit.

“Would that work on trees too??”

“It works for all plants.”

“Oh my god… Are you, Lee Han, an incarnation of Gaia?”

When he asked in a tone full of awe and shock, Lee Han snickered and shook his head.

“I’m just a farmer living in the forest.”
