Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 428

Asgard was bustling.

This vast land had only one proper settlement, the village of the elves, Igrac, where the World Tree Igrac was located, but it was crowded with many people.

Most of them were elves, but.

Murmuring.

Many others were from Eunha, and….

“Thank you for the kind treatment.”

They were players.

Those bearing the mark of Eunha were easy to spot.

But all the others were.

“We need a lot of help. And also….”

People from the Player Association.

“The elves will not forget your kindness.”

They were people from the association, including Kim San-tae.

Kim San-tae, the representative of the players.

And Raman, the representative of the elves.

They were in the process of signing agreements and treaties under Lee Ro-woon’s leadership.

The newly acquired land, Asgard.

-This place will be opened.

The dungeons that were the worlds of the past Eun and Einheart.

Those were their own worlds, and those who were not permitted were treated as sacred grounds where they could not even set foot.

When the past world invaded, the people of Earth were excited, thinking that the newly connected land would be a new opportunity, but the reality was the opposite.

Rather, the inhabitants of the invaded world saw Earth as a land of opportunity.

-The ideals of Earth are being governed by the invaded world.

Rather, Earth was trampled under their feet and became theirs.

But this time was different.

Asgard.

It was known that the Einheart Empire had the largest dungeon, but I can assure you that this place was a much larger and more extensive world.

Also, as it transformed from a gate into a dungeon, the land of Asgard was growing even larger.

Koo-oong!

Even now, the world was being restored and recovered by Larak, who had become an elk.

The estimated size was the combined size of the Chinese and American continents.

But in contrast, the number of elves present here was ridiculously small.

That was why.

‘Open it.’

Lee Ro-woon wanted to open Asgard, and the elves followed his will.

-Weren’t the elves supposed to cherish nature?

Lee San-hoo said that.

According to the stories passed down by Einheart, the elves cherished nature and were greatly angered by any damage to it.

-More than nature, it’s the World Tree.

However, what the elves valued most was not nature itself, but the World Tree and the land where the World Tree would grow.

-Moreover, what they seek is not nature, but harmony.

Lee Ro-woon had already spoken with Raman and confirmed their tendencies.

-More than anything….

But the most important thing was.

-They need to change.

The elves were on the verge of extinction.

They had regained their god, Elk, and the World Tree, but their numbers were ridiculously small.

Waiting for them to develop and prosper again was even more daunting considering their long lifespans.

Everything had changed.

Then they would have to change to survive.

This was also for Lee Ro-woon.

“We will continuously finalize the agreements and treaties. If there is anything you desire, please do not hesitate to tell us.”

Raman nodded at Kim San-tae’s words.

“And….”

Kim San-tae was now looking at Lee Ro-woon, not Raman.

“Thank you for your help.”

Kim San-tae had already thanked Lee Ro-woon once before.

It was because he had helped with the disposal of Jeon Gyeong-il, which resulted in Kim San-tae’s revenge.

But Kim San-tae’s gratitude now was different.

“Thanks to you, I think I will be able to secure the position of association president.”

The story of the new land, Asgard, was already a hot topic.

The fact that a new land to explore and develop had emerged was something that anyone would be excited about.

In response.

-Please.

The media companies that had to side with Hwasan also conveyed their intentions to Eunha.

To hear and report on articles about Asgard, and the many things that would happen from now on.

Of course, that was not the only reason.

-Hwasan’s defeat!

The story that Hwasan, who had entered Asgard, had been defeated and fled also spread widely.

It was the same as with Jeon Gyeong-il.

Asgard was just a pretext.

Those who had been watching the situation between the powerful Hwasan and the newly emerging Eunha now felt that the tide was beginning to turn and began to move.

Kim San-tae, who was able to sign the treaty, would naturally be recognized for his contribution and would be able to safely secure the position of association president as he wished.

“After a little time, you might even become president. Well, I don’t know if that position has much meaning now.”

Kim San-tae nodded at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

The association president was a much more solid position than the president, who was just a figurehead.

“Also….”

Kim San-tae said.

“Thanks to you, I think South Korea will be able to take the lead in this new fight.”

The treaty was signed faster than anyone else.

Lee Ro-woon was willing to help any country sign a treaty with Asgard if they wanted, but as a result, South Korea was the fastest.

Even a single day had a huge impact.

The benefits that South Korea would gain from this were beyond words.

“I thought you only had a thirst for revenge, but you also have patriotism?”

Kim San-tae chuckled at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

It was the first time he had seen him laugh.

“Well, I can’t exactly call myself a patriot, but it’s good if it’s good. If I’m the association president, wouldn’t it be good for South Korea to prosper and become stronger?”

That’s what he said, but.

“Well, that’s not really important right now.”

Lee Ro-woon felt that he had a shred of patriotism.

That his joining the Qing Army was not just about revenge.

“South Korea will take the lead and gain many benefits. And.”

Kim San-tae said.

“Those benefits will be taken by Eunha. No, by you.”

In the end, this land was.

“Because it’s yours.”

It was Lee Ro-woon’s.

* * *

With the association at the forefront, many people entered Asgard.

The entrance to Asgard was still only open to South Korea, so naturally, their entry was the fastest.

The first treaty signed was about the area around Asgard’s World Tree, Igrac.

This was the land of the elves, and new buildings had to be built with Raman’s permission.

Also, since the elves pursued harmony, they had to get permission from them for many things, including building materials.

It didn’t matter.

It was something to be grateful for.

Buildings were being built slowly like that.

But there was a building being built on a grand scale without the permission of the elves.

“They’re doing all sorts of crazy things.”

At Lee Ro-woon’s cold voice.

“Things like this are necessary.”

Lee San-hoo chuckled and said.

“It’s a kind of flag.”

The building being built was.

“That this is our, no, your land.”

The Eunha Guild House.

The Eunha building was being built in the first guild to enter Asgard and the only area protected by the elves.

“Just watch for ten years, no, three years.”

Lee San-hoo said confidently.

“The land value will skyrocket, and we’ll be sitting on a pile of money.”

Having said that, Lee San-hoo.

“Ah, you’re already sitting on a pile of money. It’s a meaningless story for you, though.”

He soon scratched his cheek and said.

“Do as you please.”

“Oh, right. That small piece of land over there, they said it’s… a vacant lot.”

“Do that as well.”

“Overwhelming gratitude.”

Lee San-hoo quickly left, afraid that Lee Ro-woon might change his mind.

Everyone else who entered Asgard was also busy.

Even the elves.

They had to adapt to the newly signed treaties, new people, and new environments, but.

“The power of Elk does not reach this place.”

There were also many things to solve.

-Elk is devoting much of his power to the restoration of the world.

Originally, based on the World Tree, Elk’s power reached the entire Asgard.

-Also, the seeds of the World Tree have not yet been placed.

Also, other World Trees derived from Igrac take their place and connect with them to exert their power.

But Igrac could not do that.

Restoring the broken world.

And because he was devoting all his power to rapid growth, his power was not yet complete.

The result was.

“The corrupted ones are creatures that can never return, completely different from us.”

The corrupted ones that still remained.

They were still mad with slaughter and had no reason.

In other words, they were monsters.

And it was not the power of Elk, but the power of the elves that drove them out.

“Do not think of them as elves. The death of an elf never leaves behind such a ball of disgust.”

With the power of those who helped the elves.

The hunt began.

It was agreed that a certain price would be paid for driving out the corrupted ones.

The association, and some of the guilds that were allowed to enter under their and Eunha’s leadership.

-It’s a new mineral.

In Asgard, it was not only the corrupted ones, the monsters, that remained.

It was not just the forest that was filling with nature.

-It’s the fruit of Onbak.

New resources.

-The magic sensitivity is…!

-The strength is also unbelievable!

-That’s right. This is a resource used to make elven bows and swords.

The discovery of new resources that were more efficient than before also heralded many changes.

The wind was blowing.

New land, new opportunities.

And that was.

-A storm will soon come.

It was the prelude to a storm.

The established order of the world, the absolute beings that could not be defied.

Behind that, they could no longer benefit.

But now it would change.

-Since ancient times, humans, no, intelligent beings.

Like that saying.

-Everything moves because of desire.

It was just the beginning.

And that beginning was what Lee Ro-woon wanted.

The beginning of the storm would soon spread everywhere.

The fight for Asgard and to protect Asgard.

Because he was going to take a step back from that fight.

* * *

“You’ve become the richest landowner ever.”

Lee Ro-woon turned his gaze at the voice he heard.

“Is that so?”

Cheong In-woo, who was climbing a tree.

He landed softly on the ground and said.

“I’m not interested.”

“I guess not. Well, you have so much even if it’s not here.”

Cheong In-woo.

“As a nameless soldier, I can’t help but be envious.”

He was a plum blossom swordsman of Hwasan and a promising one, so he would have accumulated a lot of wealth, but.

“Well, this is not something I can compare to.”

It was not something he could compare to Lee Ro-woon.

More than anything, he was no longer a plum blossom swordsman of Hwasan.

It was said that the story of Cheong In-woo, who had completely betrayed Hwasan in this incident, was also spreading rapidly.

Hwasan decided to expel Cheong In-woo and the members of the Red Plum Blossom Squad and even put a bounty on them.

But that didn’t mean there were many who could stop him.

“I’ll have to stay here for a while.”

Cheong In-woo was planning to entrust himself to Asgard.

The other members of the Red Plum Blossom Squad were the same.

“And.”

Cheong In-woo’s eyes changed.

“I’ll have to face the things I’ve been ignoring.”
