Episode 136

68. Welcoming guests – 2

Unlike the fire flower, the fairy flower grows well in soil that contains magical power.

By planting the earth tree, the tree was able to infuse magic into the earth.

Then shouldn’t we utilize it?

“Are you planning to build an apiary in a new place?”

“Hmm. That would be better.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to create a new position.”

The task of clearing vast tracts of forest has been done several times already.

That’s why I thought Shredder and Vargentus wouldn’t be that difficult.

“You guys should go together.”

Leticia, who still had a blank expression, came to her senses only after hearing Shredder’s words.

The reason they came here was to gain strength to fight Marquis Caloitz, but they couldn’t just be indebted to Lee Han.

So it was only natural that I should help him.

“But we don’t know what to do… … . We can’t farm either… … .”

“It’s just preparation and sowing seeds, so don’t worry too much.”

“If that’s the case, then of course I should help.”

Leticia smiled brightly and nodded.

It seemed like he liked the idea that he could be of help.

Lee Han smiled brightly at him, who had become much brighter than when they first met, and got up from his seat after finishing his coffee.

“Then, please rest for a bit. I’ll go check out the greenhouse.”

As always, Lee Han took only Tree and Seol-mi into the greenhouse.

When I came out after checking on the state of the magic grass and fruit trees, I saw Leticia sitting at the table with an awkward expression.

“Uh, uh, what should I do?”

“There’s nothing you need to do right now… … . Please rest.”

“Yes… … Ah. And there. Mr. Lee Han. I hope you can speak comfortably to me. After all, I am younger and am receiving help… … .”

“Hmm. Well then, shall we? Would you like something warm to drink?”

“I will drink it gratefully.”

As the smiling boy went to his seat, the door to the cabin opened.

After eating breakfast and taking a short nap, Shredder came out, yawning leisurely.

“The smell of coffee… … Give me some too… … .”

Shredder, sitting at the table, staggers around, speaking one by one.

Lee Han smiled at them and then sat down after making coffee for Shredder and honey tea for Tree and Letty.

“Hey. Are you going to make a field later? Have you thought about where to make it?”

“Uh. A little bit away from here… … .”

While Lee Han and Shredder were talking, Tree sipped honey tea and stroked the explanation sitting on her lap.

And with a wink, he signaled to Letisha to try the honey tea.

He was sitting there blankly, then he flinched and slowly brought his hand to the honey tea and brought it to his lips.

‘Ah… … delicious… … .’

Leticia’s eyes sparkled as she sipped honey tea, holding the glass with both hands.

I had honey tea when I was at the Baekjak house before.

But this is the first time I’ve had honey tea this delicious.

Tree snorted proudly as she watched him happily sipping his honey tea.

“Aside from this honey tea, there are other teas that are delicious too. Do you know about black radish tea?”

“I’m hearing this for the first time… … What is black radish?”

“It’s one of the crops that only grows in the forest. That’s what I’m talking about.”

Lee Han took out a small pouch from the refrigerator.

What was inside was a black powder.

While Letish tilted her head at the powder that did not look appetizing no matter how much she looked at it, Red and Willem came out of the forest with Hongryeon and Bargentus, looking tired.

Hongryeon took them there, saying that they should spar even though they had nothing to do after eating.

“Did the sparring go well?”

“Hahaha… … Yes. Dealing with Hongryeon wasn’t easy though.”

Red looked at Hongryeon with a bitter smile.

They had been moving so much that they were exhausted, but she didn’t shed a single drop of sweat, which was strangely humiliating.

“I’m hungry because I’ve been moving around. Is there anything to eat?”

“I baked some cookies before I went to the greenhouse. Would you like to eat some?”

“Good~!”

Lee Han got up from his seat and brought tea for Hongryeon, Bargentus, Red, and Willem, then placed a basket full of cookies on the table.

Hongryeon had a happy expression on her face as she munched on the slightly cooled but still sweet and savory cookie.

“Let’s rest a bit and then go work on the field.”

Now it’s time to start the real work.

Lee Han checked the time and put the cookie in his mouth.

After tea time that satisfied everyone, when the chilly morning air began to feel warmer under the sunlight, Lee Han and his group headed to the seat they had reserved.

“It looks like we’ll need to do some maintenance from here to there.”

It was a flat spot not far from the cabin.

Letisha was puzzled by the sight of only a few dozen tree trunks.

“When did you cut down this tree?”

“Shredder and the others have been working hard.”

“I can easily cut down a tree like this with just one stroke of my fingernail.”

I heard from Red that the trees in the Great Forest are stronger than those outside the Great Forest.

Even he, a knight with some skill, couldn’t easily cut it down.

It’s incredible that so many trees in such a vast forest were cut down.

As Letici looked at him with admiration, Shredder pulled out his fingernail and showed it to her.

“Want to touch it?”

The elves, including Leticia, touched his fingernails as if they had been waiting.

It is much harder and sharper than an average sword.

“Stop playing around and get to work!!”

As Vargentus shouted, grabbing his pickaxe, Shredder put his claws in and headed towards him.

At the elves’ gazes asking what they should do, Lee Han smiled and said.

“You must destroy all the stumps here. Feel free to use magic, please.”

“All right.”

The real work has begun.

Lee Han returned to the cabin, watching each person pull out the tree stump in their own way.

“Are we going now?”

Tree, who had been waiting with the explanation while sitting at the table, wearing overalls and shaking her legs, suddenly jumped down from her seat.

“Yeah. I’m going to move some of the fire bees from the Valley of Fire.”

Since we have been steadily increasing the number of bees, we should have some of the bees collect fairy honey.

After giving a brief explanation, Lee Han loaded the tree onto the cart and headed towards the Canyon of Fire.

-Come in. Have you come to see the beehive?

The now familiar face of Phoenix greeted Lee Han, Tree, and Seol Yi.

Even in winter, the fireflies were flying around without any particular problems, perhaps thanks to the energy of the phoenix.

“Yes. Ah. Phoenix. I’m trying to move the hive. Can you help me?”

-Are you asking me to share my energy?

If we utilize the energy that Phoenix possesses, we can increase the survival rate of the bees that like warm places.

Lee Han told Phoenix, who was puzzled, about his plan.

-You can get fairy honey… …Can you share some of that honey with me?

“Of course. Aren’t we neighbors?”

And thanks to Phoenix, I was able to raise my bulbuls a little better.

Well then, would it be a good idea to share some fairy honey?

-Then I guess I should help you.

Phoenix spread his huge wings.

A rippling, flame-like energy moved and formed on Lee Han’s hand, and after a while, the energy transformed into a red bead.

-If you put that bead in the hive, it will create a temperature that is good for the bees to survive.

“Since you’re making them, please make a few more.”

Because I don’t plan on having just one beehive.

At Lee Han’s request to increase the number of beehives, Phoenix made beads without any complaints.

-I’m looking forward to it. When can I get the fairy honey?

“Well, I don’t think it will take that long… … .”

It seemed that if the bees worked hard, they could obtain fairy honey within a week.

As Lee Han explained, Phoenix’s mood quickly improved.

Eating honey is good, but I am also looking forward to the dishes made with honey by Lee Han.

-Can I look forward to cooking too?

“Is there anything you would like to eat?”

-Anything is fine.

“All right.”

There is nothing more awkward than asking for anything from someone who has no particular intention, but for Lee Han, it was a perfect offer.

Because no matter what I do, I won’t be dissatisfied.

If it is a request that contains trust, then you just have to respond with that trust.

“Tree. Let’s move the hive.”

“okay.”

Tree got off the cart and moved the beehive to the cart with Lee Han.

If you move the hive carelessly, the bees won’t stay still, but the tree is a world tree and Lee Han was holding the Phoenix King’s bracelet.

Perhaps that’s why the bees quietly accepted their movement of the hive without any particular reaction.

After moving several beehives onto the cart, Lee Han headed to the work area.

“Pull it there!”

“Ewww!!”

I just happened to be removing the last stump.

These people, who were sweating profusely due to the hard work, greeted Lee Han with a smile when he arrived.

“Hey! Give me something cool!”

“Just wait.”

Lee Han, who had frozen the water in the water jug ​​he had moved in the morning into frost to make ice cubes, served it as a snack along with the honey he had collected earlier.

“Euhaaaaa~.”

“It’s crunchy and delicious!”

“Wow… … This is the first time I’ve had such delicious honey.”

Those who had recharged their energy by drinking cool ice water and drinking honey saw that the place was in chaos.

All the stumps have been cleared away, but the soil needs to be leveled before we can plant the flowers.

“I’ll do that. Just rest.”

Lee Han, who was carrying a pure iron hoe, shook the hoe a few times and the ground was spread evenly.

Letish, who was watching Lee Han while chewing on the crunchy bee hive, expressed her admiration.

“How do you do that?”

“It’s all thanks to the power contained in that hoe.”

“An artifact?! Something so precious… Are you, Mr. Lee Han, clearing a dungeon?”

“Lee Han made it.”

“… … .”

I really can’t figure out where this endless journey will end.

It’s amazing that you can create an artifact with that level of power.

While the elves with their mouths wide open were looking at him, Lee Han finished cleaning the ground and returned to his seat.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“He looks surprised to see the pure iron hoe.”

“Really? It’s not that great. Anyway, can you all move a little more?”

“That’s obvious!”

“Then let’s plant flowers right away.”

Those who felt energized by eating something sweet got up from their seats as Lee Han told them to and started planting the fairy flower seeds in the organized spots.

After planting them all, Letisha smiled as she looked at the fully planted flower garden.

“It’s a fairy flower… … It will be really beautiful when it fully blooms. They say that fairy flowers take about three months to grow… … .”

“Tree.”

“okay.”

Ignoring the muttering Leticia, Lee Han called out to Tree.

She nodded and reached out her hand, and a huge circle unfolded around the flower field.

“What, what is this?!”

The elves, including Leticia, opened their eyes wide. They knew. What this jinn was.

“Three. Three. The truth of the world?!”

“What? Do you know?”

“That, that’s of course! Our family was also a family that worshipped the World Tree in the past… … Why would the World’s Truth… …?”

Leticia looked at the tree with eyes full of confusion.

Regardless, after making the jinn, Tree lightly raised his hand. At that moment, an enormous magical power began to fill the flower field.

“This is enough.”

“Then it’s my turn. Strengthening intelligence, accelerating growth.”

Lee Han, who stretched out his hand, displayed two abilities.

His supernatural powers, and the power of the Hand of Blue. When they were applied to the fairy flower garden, Letish and the elves’ mouths fell open.

This was because the fairy flower, which was supposed to take three months to grow, grew in an instant.
