Chapter 68

Pururur-

A huge body changing color every moment.

The flashing eyes quite threatening.

The beast wrapped in something like clouds around stopped in front of me and Ara and was quietly watching. That appearance felt quite fantastic.

“Pururuk!”

“Eeng?”

Ara waved hands as if welcome and approached.

And I tilted head at the unexpected name that came out of Ara’s mouth.

‘That is Pururuk?’

The cute monster that took the form of a deer.

Clearly even when saw before changed to a form like a long imugi and disappeared but never dreamed the monster like the haetae in front of the eyes also that deer herd.

Sasasasat-

When Ara approached the huge haetae’s exterior scattered. And the small deer seen before waved tails lively and welcomed Ara.

A cheat-like affinity.

“Hello! Hehehe.”

Ara grinning surrounded by approaching deer. Gomgomi held in arms whether flustered at the sudden situation struggled and escaped and waddled and ran to me.

-K, Kang! Kruwang!

Gomgomi spreading both feet and taking the gesture of asking to hug I raised and watched what Ara and Pururuk doing.

“Ooh! That!”

-Pururuk! Puruk!

“Then give a ride?”

-Puruk!

Eeng. Somehow the conversation flowing strangely.

“Ara, give a ride?”

“Said going to sparkle sparkle tree so said give a ride!”

I turned the gaze and looked at Pururuk with small horns. The guy as if leave to me looking at me with bright eyes.

“How these guys us... ah!”

Don’t tell me changing to a huge animal form like earlier and giving a ride? That also seemed possible.

“I want to try riding!”

“Yeah. Then shall we leave once?”

Unexpected help.

When I nodded and said Ara immediately requested, Pururuk divided into two herds and started combining.

This time a beast of a form like a horse.

Looking closely even described horns.

‘That... not giraffe?’

Not the giraffe in the African savanna but the exterior of the legendary divine beast giraffe. Seeing now the animals transforming all seemed fantasy animals.

Certainly such animals good for giving pressure but how do these guys know and follow fantasy animals?

“Don’t tell me these guys actually original?”

If the fantasy animals we knew actually all Pururuk created and that informed and transmitted to us?

...imagined but to begin with legendary animals that existed before dungeons and awakeners arose so no way people saw Pururuk first.

Anyway briefly put aside useless thoughts and rode up on Pururuk changed to giraffe form.

Slightly worried if collapse but soon seeing boarding stably amazing.

“Ooh! Fast!”

Pururuk Ara rode started running first.

Wondered how Pururuk changed to a form similar to a horse would jump around the forest but unnecessary worry.

The guys moved freely up down left right and jumped over all sorts of obstacles.

“Uuk.”

Thanks to that I dying from motion sickness.

“Kyahahaha!”

-Kwang! Kwang!

Conversely Ara and Gomgomi shouted as if excited that appearance felt amazing.

Thanks to the operation to the extent even me the world’s awakener motion sickness.

We could reach near the World Tree not even taking 1 hour.

“Fast is fast.”

When somewhat accustomed motion sickness also a bit went.

Rather when able to enjoy the speed gradually arrived so regret felt.

-( *๑•̀д•́๑)」!!!

-(′σωσ`)ノ!

Alpheheim welcomed us.

While doing so wary of Pururuk as if never seen Pururuk’s true form.

-Ooh! Great Lord has come!

“Long time. Prey.”

I got off Pururuk who suffered and stroked the back once then did farewell greeting.

Ara also jumped down then waved hands vigorously.

“Fun! Ride again next time too!”

Pururuk-!

Soon when Pururuk that took giraffe form disappeared Prey carefully approached and said.

-In, indeed Great Lord! How tamed those scary beasts...!

“Know those guys?”

-Of course! Near this World Tree often terrifying beasts wander, the one just saw is a guy we Alpheheim call ‘cloud horse’ among ourselves!

These guys anyway seemed not knowing Pururuk’s identity.

“Prey, then have seen small deer?”

-Yes! Very timid and weak beasts! Call coward deer!

“Yes.”

Indeed Alpheheim seemed seeing Pururuk and the appearance Pururuk changed as separate.

Thought of clearing the misunderstanding but ambiguous to reveal the survival strategy of Pururuk who helped us so just left.

“From now even if such scary guys appear no need to be scared. All became friends with me and Ara.”

-Huk! In that short time already subdued all this area! Indeed Great Lord!

“Well, that degree.”

Due to Prey sending respectful eyes a bit of conscience’s reproach felt but laughed and passed. This guy always such reaction no matter what I do.

“By the way how Meluca flowers? Growing well?”

-Tremendous speed! Growing faster than my expectation but rather because of that a bit anxious heart too.

Whether the slimes raising Meluca flowers also seemed growing fast.

I took out Dokdok’s poison from Bokkeum.

-This...?

“Poison. Said need poison when blooming Meluca flowers so for now brought but don’t know if works.”

-Ooh! As it was suffering from the poison problem fortunate.

“Saying again don’t know if works. Not that strong poison.”

-For now try using. Thank you, Great Lord.

Fairies flocked trotting and struggled and moved the poison bottle I handed. Next time have to divide into small bottles and bring.

“For now shall we confirm if our kids well. Also look at how much Meluca flowers grew a bit.”

-Yes! Follow! Kids, pack honey to give guests!

Moving steps to the Meluca field just in time the slimes porong working welcomed us gladly.

Wriggle!

“Were you well?”

Wriggle- Wriggle!

Three recruit slimes approached and rubbed bodies. Enjoying a kind of affection expression and kneading slimes together with Ara fairies brought honey.

-Honey served!

“Thank you. I’ll eat well.”

When bringing hyung Yeongseong couple didn’t pack honey so accumulated honey quite many.

“Not too much? This much came out?”

-Anyway because cultivating Meluca flowers put effort into large-scale personnel reduction for Meluca flower search and establishing new honey collection department!

Suddenly briefing like became a company flustering. By the way whether Meluca flower cultivation succeeds still unknown matter but already did so?

‘...Have to level up Dokdok right away.’

Honestly thinking with current poison too much and hope that if next stage poison possible.

Ultimately the story of synthesizing Dokdok and leveling up urgent.

Fairies brought honey contained in the plastic containers and wooden cases I gave before.

Plastic containers insufficient so seemed separately made wooden boxes and the completeness excellent.

“Oh, this pretty?”

-Fortunate to liking!

“You guys made?”

-Yes.

The boxes beautifully decorated with intaglio and relief and the carving skill not ordinary.

In the leaf shape carvings expressed finely and richly and geometric patterns the skill of a craftsman felt.

“This by any chance made with World Tree?”

-Yes! Utilized rolling wood scraps!

Wow, too luxurious?

A honey container made with World Tree, probably no one would believe. But the unique scent of World Tree subtly spreading from the wooden box couldn’t hide.

“By any chance many World Tree scraps?”

-A lot a lot! Many!

“Then by any chance can I use later?”

-Of course! Asking understanding from us in the position of borrowing the dungeon how excellent a lord!

Hehehe. As it was thinking of building a house in the place made the field can supply materials!

Of course the most important architect or labor problem remaining but that have to resolve slowly.

Eating a bit of honey and appreciating the fairies’ carving skill for a while then stood up from the seat. Since came here have to confirm Meluca’s state for sure too.

“Really grew a lot.”

Meluca that grew vigorously before I knew it rose to my waist. Only saw the flowers Alpheheim dried so seeing the stem like this first.

“Gradually flower buds setting?”

-Seems so!

“Give the poison to the slimes in advance. The timing to give poison also those guys probably know well.”

-Confirmed!

Prey who answered like a vigorous soldier immediately ordered to take out the poison put in the World Tree residence as I said.

‘But land a bit narrow seeming?’

For now don’t know if succeeds so planted a bit as a test but if succeeds have to plant much more than this.

Don’t know the fairies’ number exactly but no way honey sufficient with mere this degree of flowers.

But even trying to plant flowers near here vacant land insufficient.

“Prey.”

-Yes!

“If flower cultivation succeeds have to plant more flowers right?”

-Um, certainly this alone insufficient.

“But here to begin with land narrow so ambiguous to plant more how thinking?”

-How about scattering here and there!

“That hard for our slimes to manage?”

Toward Prey purely shouting smiled awkwardly and said then Prey opened both eyes wide and clapped.

-Yes! Then have to find wider land!

“Even making land covered with Meluca fine. If possible.”

-Oh, ooh...

Whether spreading the wings of imagination Prey drooled with a dazed expression. That good?

“I’ll also look if there is okay land. You guys also look in your own way.”

-Understood!

“And if succeeding Meluca cultivation later when leeway can cultivate other flowers too?”

-Other flowers?

“Uh. Seems fine as ornamental too and convenient for honey collection so saying.”

The plants here things not on Earth.

That much if gifting as ornamental fine, and might discover ones usable as medicinal herbs or herbs again.

-I’ll do my best.

Prey with a serious face answered.

I shook head thinking fairies might overdo again too much.

“For now Meluca first. Until then no need. No just don’t. Understood?”

-Understood!

Answers really well.

I lightly stroked Prey’s head with the index finger then went to the place where the kids are again.

Then there Ara and Gomgomi were diligently doing something.

Exactly Gomgomi stuck nose in the ground and doing something and Ara watching beside.

“What doing?”

“Discovered mushroom!”

“Ah, mushroom!”

Forgot but in the meantime Gomgomi smelled? Seeing now near the World Tree’s roots that rose like a tree.

Anyway the mushroom Gomgomi said seemed growing absorbing the nutrients of the World Tree roots.

-Kkung.

“Oh! Found!”

“Where, where?”

Gomgomi started diligently digging the ground.

But with cute Gomgomi’s strength and feet the speed slow.

“I’ll help!”

Ara rolled up both arms and started digging the ground Gomgomi digging together. Then not long I could smell a strange fragrance.

“This smell...?”

-Oh? Unique fragrance. A fragrance as if World Tree’s scent condensed!

If this the smell the mushroom emits really worth looking forward?
