Chapter 391: The Exchange Student (8)
The World Tree, known as the Primordial World Tree, held a legend passed down through generations. It was said that the first flower of the World Tree, a being called 'Floraflame,' was the first to settle here as a fairy and establish a kingdom.
This story was older than the era of the Progenitor Mage, when history was first properly recorded, so no one could confirm its truth, but Florin believed it.
The true king who first bloomed and cared for all fairies...

With each step Florin took on the leaves, there was a soft cushion-like sound, as if the leaves gently yielded to her touch.
Surprisingly, the leaves she stepped on remained undamaged. In fact, the fallen autumn leaves, which had lost their vitality, regained their green hue and came to life anew.
This was the power of the King of Fairies and the Elf King. They could grant life to everything they touched. For Florin, who had endured the curse of death, this blessing of life was deeply comforting.
"... Where are we going?"
Baek Yu-Seol asked as he followed behind her.
"I just... wanted to show you the scenery. You've never really taken a good look at the World Tree, have you?"
"No. I haven't."
