The East, reached after passing through the Fairy Kingdom.

There was nothing special.

All I can think is that this is a place where people live.

“Oh my… … I can’t believe I got to the East so easily… … .”

Even the blunt Graphite Society warriors seem to have been moved by the path of the fairies.

Well, that makes sense.

No matter how strong the Black Lotus Society’s warriors were, the Central Mountain Range was not an easy place.

“Please go to Heukga.”

After speaking politely, Heukju climbed onto the monster.

The giant monster following his orders began to walk away, growling softly.

“How is it?”

“I just thought that people live here too. But there are some plants that I’ve never seen before.”

“That’s called a pallet. It’s common in the East, and when ripe, it’s sweet and sour. It’s also what hunters eat whenever they’re hungry.”

Pink cherries, resembling cherry blossoms, were hanging on the bushes.

Hearing the words of the black rice wine that turns red when fully ripe, Lee Han reached out his hand.

Since it is my first time seeing this fruit, I am curious about its taste.

“Oh… … Ohhhhhh… … !!”

Black Pearl’s mouth opened in shock as he looked at him wondering what he was doing.

It was clearly an unripe palette just a moment ago.

The undercooked palate, which was clearly sour when eaten, gradually turned red.

Not only the Black Pearl, but also the Black Lotus Society’s warriors were astonished.

“What? You didn’t know about Lee Han’s abilities?”

Heukju had a drink with the cabin crew before leaving the cabin.

As such, it was an explanation that he had thought he had heard about Lee Han’s abilities, so his question was not strange.

“I, I, I heard about that… … .”

I heard that Lee Han could freely control the growth of plants, but I didn’t know it was to this extent.

I thought it would only speed up growth by a factor of two or three.

Lee Han, who had picked two pallets that were ripe enough to be seen quickly, put one in Seol-i’s mouth and then put one in his own mouth.

‘It tastes like cherry.’

I could feel a subtle sweetness and freshness.

This would also come in handy when making cakes or other dishes.

I remember Hongryeon asking me to make her a different cake than the strawberry cake, so I made her a variety of cakes, but she seemed dissatisfied.

‘Shall we make a pie…?’

Everyone will be satisfied with a pie filled with a filling made from ripe papaya and the juice of the papaya.

Lee Han chewed on the fruit of the pallet and spat out the seeds.

“Have you ever tried this?”

“That’s right. I came to the East with the witch before.”

“Why in the East?”

“The witch said there was someone she had to kill.”

Is there a witch who doesn’t come out of the Great Forest that has to come all the way to the East to defeat?

Not only Lee Han, but even Heukju showed interest.

It wasn’t something to hide, so Seol-i opened her mouth nonchalantly.

“You said we have to catch Asura.”

“Sura?”

“It is a high-ranking monster that wears a human skull around its neck and uses powerful magic with its six arms.”

“… … Now, wait a minute. So you’re saying that the witch caught the demon lord?”

“Adversary?”

“It was a long time ago. When my father was young, he heard that a powerful monster appeared in the eastern part of the continent.”

A powerful monster that appeared at some point.

In the East, there are many hunters who specialize in hunting monsters.

That’s why they formed a team to defeat the newly appeared superior monsters.

It was a team that anyone could have predicted would win.

However, that expectation was shattered in an instant.

annihilation.

A team comprised of the Association’s elite was annihilated without a single survivor.

“That’s why the association called that monster the Demon King. The Demon King led the monsters and began to invade the territory managed by the association.”

The damage caused by the upper-level monsters of the Three Headed Six-Blooded Ones, designated as Demon Kings, was by no means small.

The land he trampled rotted away, and the monsters that followed his commands attacked all living things.

Everyone was in despair, everyone was terrified.

And then one day.

Meteors fell from the sky and the ground shook.

There was a day with a lot of lightning, flashes of light, and loud noises.

And from that day on, the Demon King was nowhere to be found.

“I can’t believe… … the witch took care of it. Could it be that the witch went to the east… … .”

“As I said earlier, the reason the witch caught Asura was for revenge.”

I’ve heard it before.

There is only one reason why witches hate the forces of chaos. It is because they killed their families.

“that…….”

“By the way, did you fight with the witch back then?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“So how old are you, anyway?”

“There are more of you than me. From now on, call me elder.”

Seol-i, who was smiling confidently, climbed over Lee Han’s head.

Lee Han shrugged his shoulders as Seol-i playfully tapped his head with her cotton ball-like foot.

“Okay, sir.”

“Today, sir, I want to eat something delicious.”

“I eat it every day… … .”

“I can’t resist something so delicious.”

While the two were chatting and giggling, Heukju kept his mouth shut.

It seemed like he was serving a bigger person than he thought, so his demeanor became more formal.

“Uh… uh, sir.”

“I’m joking. Just call it an explanation.”

“Ah. Yes. Sir. Then, over there. Uh, I will take you to Heukga.”

The place the group arrived was a huge city.

The explanation was impressive as it stood on a hill overlooking the city, which seemed much larger than Dwarven City.

“It’s wide.”

“Is this your first time?”

“That’s right. When I came back then, I wasn’t staying here, but somewhere else.”

Near the huge city there was a vast field.

Could this be the land that received Gaia’s grace? While Lee Han looked at him with a curious look, Heukju made a confident expression.

“There are other places besides that. That’s why the city ruled by the Black House has never had a food problem.”

With a wide river, wide plains, and mountains nearby, there seemed to be plenty of food.

It is likely that not only is the land blessed by Gaia, but there are also many indigenous crops.

“Then let’s go.”

As they arrived near the city, guided by the Black Pearl, a huge gate greeted the group.

In front of the gate were two wolves and a dog tribe.

“Your Majesty! Are you here?!”

They were on guard against the approaching monsters, but were delighted to see the black dragon riding on top of the monster.

As I accepted their greetings with bright smiles and went inside, a city with a different style than anything I had seen before appeared.

It was a splendid city.

There are many buildings with tiles and eaves.

When Lee Han was surprised to see that the building was not in the style he had seen in the West, Heukju smiled broadly.

This was because the reactions of those who came here were similar.

“When the Heukga first settled here, they wanted to build in the style of the West where they were originally from. However, materials that were easy to find in the West were hard to find in the East.”

That is why Heukga had no choice but to follow the style of the indigenous people living here.

They combined their style with the style brought by the Heukga from the West to create a new building form, which developed into these buildings.

“That’s cool. What is that?”

“The most proud building in Heuksi is called Bongchugwan. It’s a five-story building. The fifth floor is used as a watchtower, but the first to fourth floors are used as restaurants. Would you like to visit sometime?”

‘It’s eastern cuisine. I’m curious.’

As it is a place with abundant resources, it seems like you will be able to try a variety of dishes.

That means you might get a new recipe.

There was no way Lee Han wouldn’t be tempted.

“Let’s go later.”

I guess the explanation was equally interesting.

Heukju, who liked the two of them who were happy, smiled brightly.

“I will first take you to Heukga.”

There were many races in the splendid street.

Among them, I could not see a single one who ignored the Black House.

Those who saw the Black Pearl and Black Lotus warriors bowed their heads respectfully, and they accepted it as a matter of course.

“It seems like the Black Family is quite respected.”

“I guess so.”

Heukju felt a little proud when he heard the two voices whispering in his ears.

In fact, among the cities controlled by the Association’s forces, this city was one of the wealthiest in the East.

As the head of the family that ruled this place, it was impossible for him not to be pleased with that compliment.

Moreover, they are the ones who raised the World Tree and are also the heroes who defeated the Demon King of the East in the past.

As they arrived at the northern part of the city, their hearts filled with pride, a huge manor welcomed them.

“Welcome to the Black House.”

There were a lot of people in front of the garden.

It was because I had already contacted them to inform them that I would be inviting an honored guest.

The one at the forefront was a black-haired Noelf.

“The head of the Black House. Black Heaven greets guests.”

The Noelf, whose clothes seemed a bit ostentatious, bowed politely with both hands clasped together.

Although he was not the type of person one would expect to see from the head of a family ruling over a vast city, no one tried to stop him.

In response to his polite manners, Lee Han and Seol Myung responded politely to him as well.

“This is Lee Han.”

“That’s an explanation.”

“Eww… … You’re here? Wow~ Hello~! Luna! Nice to meet you~!”

Luna, who had been sleeping in Lee Han’s bag, flew up and said.

The expressions of the Black Family members hardened at her appearance.

A fairy.

But even so, they did not make the mistake of showing fear or surprise.

“It is truly an honor for the family to be able to serve you three like this. I am worried that my lacking son and family members may have caused you all some offense.”

“No, sir. Heukju was a great guest.”

“That’s right. He’s a polite guy.”

“Thank you for your kind words. I have prepared a banquet for our guests who have come a long way, so I hope you enjoy it.”

It wasn’t particularly difficult since I came through the Fairy Kingdom, but I couldn’t refuse it since I had prepared for it.

Lee Han and Seol Myung accepted his request.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the banquet prepared by the great family that ruled over a city was splendid.

Delicious drinks, and delicious food.

Although it was different from the West, Lee Han and Lee Seol-i were satisfactory enough for Luna.

“I’m full~.”

“That dish was good earlier. How did you cook the fish like that? The spices seemed special.”

“The side vegetables and fruits were also delicious!”

“There are a lot of things to take.”

It was a good decision to come to the East.

After I finish my work, I have to pack a lot of things.

I find myself humming.

The three headed to the small garden behind the building that Heukga had prepared for them.

“Huh? What is that?”

What caught Lee Han’s eye was a tall plant.

Lee Han was intrigued by the pitch-black color and the appearance of the plant, which resembled bamboo.

“This is the black sugar cane field that our family is proud of. It is a land blessed by Gaia.”

Lee Han turned his head slightly at the voice he heard from behind. It was the first time he saw Noelf.

Lee Han and Seol-i walked towards Luna and bowed their heads politely.

“The Supreme Lord of the Black Family. My name is High Elf Black Moon.”

‘High Elf.’

Lee Han looked at him, and Heukwol smiled bitterly at his gaze.

“I, one of those who killed the World Tree, would like to express my gratitude to the one who created a new World Tree.”
