Chapter 133. The Branch
A day ago, Kim Do-Joon had a serious conversation with Son Chang-Il, who visited his shop.
“So, that’s what happened... An elf’s scheme, huh?” Son Chang-Il murmured thoughtfully, taking in the situation.
Their first topic was the strange incident, where an entire area and its inhabitants were pulled into another dimension through a mysterious Root. Son Chang-Il’s expression turned grave after listening to Kim Do-Joon’s account of the events. He was in deep thought about the unprecedented event.
Although the situation had been resolved, there was no saying it wouldn’t happen again. After all, it wasn’t a natural disaster, but an orchestrated event. Son Chang-Il furrowed his brow in frustration.
“Vulcanus said not to worry. The event was caused by using an empty root, which is incredibly difficult to come by,” Kim Do-Joon said, trying to reassure him. “I suppose that’s a relief...” Son Chang-Il trailed off, clearly still uneasy.
Understandable. It was difficult to obtain but not impossible, and if it had happened once, it could always happen again.
Despite being aware of this, Kim Do-Joon had no clear solution. He just did what he could.
“I’ve asked Vulcanus to notify me if something like this happens again. That way, we’ll know immediately.”
When the Academy was dragged into the Root, Vulcanus sensed the disturbance instantly and sent Sallyon to investigate. So, he would be the first to know.
“Phew... That’s a relief,” Son Chang-Il sighed, visibly relieved.
It’d be ideal if they could prevent it fully, but realistically, that was impossible. Thanks to Kim Do-Joon and Vulcanus, they could at least respond swiftly if something did occur.
