Seoul Station Druid

return (3)

Only the leaves are caught in Suho's view with his head raised and looking at the sky.

The rays of the sun shining through them were dazzling.

"Whoa."

Taking a long breath, he lowered his head and looked straight ahead.

A large wooden pillar fills the view.

Suho left Jang Jae-sik alone and went forward as if led by him and placed his hand on the wooden pole.

  Checking code.

  OK!

  Connection is inactive.

  Firewall is active.

  One external access allowed is maintained.

This is the same admin message as before.

The Earth's administrator, Suho, never allowed it, but the connected external connection was probably Midearl.

"Gaia."

  Answer the manager's call.

The voice clearly heard in Suho's head was the elf princess he had met before.

"Is the external connection mid-ear?"

  Yes. Are you sure you want to block?

Blocking would probably close the gates currently in Osaka City.

Not all orcs have returned to the planet Midear yet. The Blue Dragon is monitoring their retreat, so there is no need to block their retreat.

Leave it alone.

  Maintains a connection to the external network 'Midear'.

Suho tilted his head as he looked at the planet management window that popped up like a status window.

"Bad sector?"

  A damaged area exists.

Suho's eyes twinkled.

Gaia is the Earth's management OS.

If the bad sector means the eroded area, wouldn't it be possible to fix it using Gaia?

"Can you recover it?"

  Out of the management area.

What?

Suho remembered the earth before the return that Baeksa had made.

The whole world is dyed black by the Black Man who left him to run wild. The land that maintained the color was limited only to the vicinity of Suho City.

It seemed that it was possible only because the world tree was under the influence of Gaia, not the 'King's Earth' skill to bring back the blackened surroundings after the battle with Black Man.

"Then you can fix it under influence?"

  Recovery is possible.

Suho stroked his chin.

Then, one after another, Gaia's voice rang out.

  An option other than recovery exists.

  You can configure a new system after initialization.

" ."

Suho's expression darkened.

Initialization is not a big deal.

Primitive, not regression.

Regression was more like recovery of backed up data.

Destroying civilization and making it primitive, returning it to about the Jurassic period.

In such a reset world, a new species of survival game will begin.

That's Earth 8.

"Don't recommend it. Because I want to kill you."

  .

I am struggling to stop it, but Gaia's head was cold at the words of Gaia, who drove it as if that was the only answer.

Reset must be what the Creator so longs for.

It will be a moment when you turn your back on mankind as a god of humans, the surviving species of Earth 7.

At that time, there will be no other way but to ascend to the new realm.

"Anyway, under influence, it can be restored."

If the World Tree could reverse erosion, what would it be?

You need to expand your influence.

The work was done by elves who claimed to be the Gaia tribe.

"Why aren't you coming?"

It seems it's been a while since Baeksa went to sing, but there's still no news.

You crawled slowly, and you still haven't been able to get out of the forest of the beast?

"Gaia."

  Answer the manager's call.

"How is he?"

Suho pointed to Jaesik Jang.

It was also under the influence of the World Tree and was unconscious due to erosion.

Could it be repaired?

  Malware found. Losing data... .

  Recovery is not possible.

  Are you sure you want to delete it?

Suho was startled and shook his head.

No.

What does deletion mean?

If I die because I can't solve it in the end, I don't know.

"There is no reason to haveten death."

Gaia responded to Suho's self-talk.

  There is a risk of transmission of malware.

Well?

This will change the word.

This is not the time to send an errand for a hundred people and do it over the years.

Suho saw his own shadow.

Difference.

Whirrik.

Black smoke came out of the guardian's shadow and coalesced to form a human figure.

Among the beasts that Suho has tamed, he is the only one who can speak.

Chai, a vampire with a black coat, politely knelt down.

"I see you, Master."

long time no see.

That's right.

After leaving Baeksa to return to the new realm, Suho could not summon the beast.

It's as if all skills related to the beast were sealed, so the 'worship' stat was created in the midst of difficulties.

After learning how to tame the divine beasts, I practiced the divine beasts, but it feels like I haven't seen the beasts in a very long time.

'I can't go back.'

Thinking about the differences and the wolves roaming the forest of the beasts and the beasts wandering around the outer castle made me feel like I had returned to Earth.

"Babe, no. Call the elves."

"Follow orders."

Whirrik.

Chai reconciled to black smoke, turned into a bat and flew away quickly.

*Suho City.

This city, which was expanded from the base of the original guardian guild, began to develop around the inner city.

As people gathered, the most important thing was to sleep and eat, so the dormitory and restaurant were built.

A blood stone power plant and purification facilities were also built at the same time, but the first was the welfare restaurant.

Under the leadership of Lee Sook-ja, head of the welfare department, several women were responsible for the food of the restaurant, but after that, the number of restaurants increased according to the demands of the staff.

The restaurant street in front of the plaza was established by asking famous restaurants and inviting them to join the Guardian Guild.

From Chinese restaurants to mutton skewers and steakhouses, a number of shops came in and opened their doors one after another.

The restaurant's president, staff, and customers were all members of the Guardian Guild, so the concept of business was a little fuzzy.

Perhaps that is why, as the development of Oeseong began in earnest, most restaurant owners wanted to move to Oeseong.

Unlike the inner fortress, which can only be accessed by guardian guild members, the outer fortress is shared with outsiders.

The long and straight main road connecting the south gates of the inner and outer fortresses was used as the backbone and the streets were lined up horizontally, creating a common new town in a checkerboard format.

They were numbered from the provinces closest to Naeseong, and on both sides of 4th Avenue, restaurants and other commercial facilities were lined up, making it the busiest street in Suho City.

gulp, gulp.

"Hey! It tastes like this."

Elf Kakun shouted while holding an empty one-shot beer mug.

"Auntie, here's another five hundred."

"Yeah!"

Elf Kakun leaned on the backrest and looked around.

Most of the restaurants and cafes lined up along the road spread their tables on the sidewalks in this way.

I don't know much about Earth's history, but I heard at first glance that before the cataclysm, the quality of the air was not good, so eating outdoors was not good.

"It's a nice city."

When Kakun decides to become a member of the Gaia tribe, the most satisfying thing is the variety of food.

It's not that the elven city lacks food, but there were not as many recipes as on Earth.

Elven cities are, in the extreme, all cities have the same culture, so there is only a similar food culture.

But what about Earth?

There were many different cultures, the languages were so diverse, and each country had its own unique diet.

Among them, how about this guardian city?

Due to the portal hub, it is connected to almost all cities in the world, and the number of visitors is increasing, so the restaurant district is becoming more diverse.

"Kurre."

He threw a piece of lamb ribs at the tiger who was approaching him.

Tub!

The tiger snatched the fish by sharply cutting its head and roamed around.

Kakun looked at it leisurely.

Beasts are as commonplace as people on the road.

As he became a member of the guardian family, he grew in size and grew in intelligence, capturing the brutality and living in harmony with humans without any sense of incongruity.

It is mostly outside tourists who are amazed, cheering, and taking pictures of such animals.

For the people of the Guardian Guild who live in Suho City, it's just a beautiful scenery.

"Beer is here."

thank you.

Kakun now speaks fluent Korean and grabs the beer on the table.

Taking a sip, he glanced at the empty chair opposite and grumbled.

"The snacks will all get cold."

Kook, Kook!

While Kakun tilted his head to empty the beer, a loud laughter was heard.

"Wow, did you wait long?"

"Tsuk, even a tiger said that he would come if I told him."

"Hahaha, you've grown quite a bit in this country."

"It's not a joke, it's a proverb."

"Ha ha ha!"

Dwarf Jung, who smiled wildly, raised his thick hand and placed an order.

"One beer!"

Kakun said at the same time as the staff's 'yes' was heard in the restaurant.

"Mine too."

"Two beers!"

"Yeah."

Kakun scolded as he saw Jung chewing the lamb.

"Why are you so late?"

"Ah, is the lab a bit busy these days? It's confusing me if I'm a blacksmith or an artifact craftsman. I went to the battlefield, captured some orcs, and came back, and I have a lot of work to do."

Jung's grumbling face was too reminiscent of dissatisfaction.

These days, he was very interested in the artefact-making technology and the modern science of the earth.

I had already finished understanding the basic structure of bloodstone motors and turbines, and was in the process of learning a slightly higher-level mechanical engineering of the earth.

"Twitch, you look excited."

"Fufu, are those spirit-stolen friends still running away?"

" I will come back when the time is right."

Kakun took the lamb and ate it with a bitter face.

It's not just Aliad and Romad, the elves who used to be the princess's guardian knights, who lost the spirit.

'It's lucky. happy .'

Kakun shed a tear as she thought of Undine.

It wasn't exactly stolen, but Undine went to Holang Suho.

"Beer is here."

widely.

Two glasses of beer came out, and as soon as Jung took the glasses, he emptied them at once.

"Kya!"

"Would you like another drink?"

The reason the serving staff didn't leave right away was that the elves and dwarves were doing spell villains.

'Do it all at once. at once.'

If you're going to do a one-shot, you order five thousand, so why do you only order one drink every day?

"Oh, good."

At Dwarf Jung's words, the staff returned.

At that moment, a white snake climbed up the table leg and slammed its head into Kakun's beer mug.

????????????

"Uh? Aren't you Baeksa?"

At least, none of the Gaia tribes dealt with wild beasts. Did you know that each of them belongs to the clan chief's family?

Isn't white sand in particular a new supply?

[Kyaa, long time no see.]

"It looks like a pattern."

It wasn't, but there were dark red stripes on the body of the white man.

[I caught a dragon.]

"Oh, while I was on my battlefield, I heard that a dragon broke into this place."

[Yeah, I got him.]

Dwarf Jung didn't see him because he went to Japan to deal with the Orcs, but Kakun, who was staying in the Guardian City to protect the World Tree, saw the scene firsthand.

'It was amazing.'

The dragon that I witnessed in person was truly amazing.

It was a presence enough to understand why our ancestors were so wary and prepared for dragons.

Baeksa and Suho jointly captured it.

[Unfortunately, deterioration is a power worth using.]

He originally wanted a blue dragon as the wealth of ascension, but unfortunately he was still quite satisfied with the red dragon and the flame he got.

You are probably the only dragon with both ice and fire attributes.

I've never seen a dwarf.

"Oh, I see, you must have seen it."

When all the dwarves went to Japan to deal with the orcs, there was a lot of fuss, and the elves stayed in the city to protect the world tree.

Thanks to that, I was able to see Rakshasha who raided the city of Suho.

"It was great. then ."

It was as if Kakun was just about to start a saga, as I had experienced, when a bat flew by their table and turned into smoke.

Whirlik.

The smoke gathered, and a woman in a black coat appeared and looked at them and bowed her head slightly.
