Chapter 195: Let's Purify Mana Cores

When we fought the massive monster horde to protect the Woodpole territory, we collected a large amount of Mana Cores. When Mana Cores are purified by the power of the World Tree, they become the raw material for Magic Stones. Magic Stones are necessary for making communication devices and are an essential material for future crafting.

Furthermore, purified Mana Cores also become Golem cores. In the labor-short southern undeveloped lands, Golems are active in ranches and road construction sites.

We also learned that Letty awakened as the Apostle “General,” and that Golems will fight under Letty‘s command in times of need. The “General” skill, which allows Golems to be summoned even from afar and commanded with high-level coordination through information linking, is extremely powerful.

That’s why I intended to purify the Mana Cores once things settled down. But time passed while I rested after the victory ceremony and made heaters and communication devices.

I feel I need to purify the Mana Cores soon. Until now, I sometimes intruded on the Elf Forest suddenly, but this time I pressed the switch on the communication device to give prior notice.

“Hello, this is William. Luna, are you free to talk right now?” “Yes, it’s fine.”

“I want to go to the Elf Forest to purify Mana Cores. How is your schedule?” “Well, anytime is fine, but how about tomorrow afternoon?”

“Okay, I’ll visit tomorrow afternoon.” Conversing via a communication device makes me feel somewhat like I’ve returned to my previous life.

When I told Letty via the communication device that I would be purifying Mana Cores tomorrow afternoon: “If you purify Mana Cores, you’re going to create Golems too, right?” “That’s the plan.”

“Then I’ll go too. I want to be present at the moment the Golems that will fight alongside me are born.” “Understood. Then, I’ll pick you up with Teleportation Magic tomorrow afternoon.”

Then I spoke to Flora on the communication device as well. “You are going to the Elf Forest to purify Mana Cores tomorrow, right? Please wait a moment.”

Through the communication device, I heard Flora‘s voice saying, “Cecilia, you can manage tomorrow’s schedule, right?” and Cecilia‘s reply, “Yeees, Princess. I’ll manage somehow.”

Did I cause trouble for Cecilia-san? “William-san, I will join you as well.” Flora sounded happy, so I hope Cecilia-san forgives me.

Come to think of it, since making the communication devices, I’ve been talking to Letty and Flora almost every day.

Flora, who is far away, is especially happy to be able to talk via the communication device. It seems Letty and Flora are also talking almost every day.

The next day, I picked up Letty and Flora with Teleportation Magic, and the three of us visited the Elf Forest together.

“It’s been a while, Letty-san, Flora-san.” Luna looks happy to see Letty and Flora. The Elder is also watching Luna with a smile.

Since Luna doesn’t look like a typical Elf, she apparently had trouble making friends, so the Elder seems happy that she became good friends with Letty and Flora.

And once again, it is Luna who chants the spell in front of the Great Tree. We pass through the entrance formed in the hollow of the Great Tree and emerge into the World Tree‘s sanctuary.

As always, colorful flowers are blooming in profusion. Flora and Letty let out sighs at the beauty.

“This is my second time coming here, but it is truly a paradise.” “It is just as Flora says. No matter how many times I come, I am captivated by the beauty here.”

Recently, Letty and Flora have opened up even more, calling each other “Letty” and “Flora” without honorifics. Is it thanks to talking often on the communication device?

Near the World Tree, I took out the stored Mana Cores. Not all of them, but the Golems worked hard to collect the ones we defeated.

Regarding the Mana Cores of the monster main force, aside from the Magic Tiger‘s, many were broken or couldn’t be collected, but the Fairchild family knights collected a certain amount.

Thanks to that, there are about three hundred Mana Cores. It ended up looking like they were burying the area around the World Tree.

But the World Tree is regaining its power little by little and purifies the many Mana Cores smoothly. Mana Cores of various sizes are purified, and the dark aura vanishes.

“Looking at it this way, I can really feel the holy power of the World Tree.” “It is just as Letty says. I am happy to have been recognized as an Apostle by that World Tree.”

Just as the two said, I can feel the World Tree‘s divine power. However, the Magic Tiger‘s Mana Core, which is exceptionally large among them, could not be purified immediately.

The Magic Tiger that commanded many monsters seems to be an exceptional existence. Still, I feel the miasma thinning little by little.

“It seems it cannot be purified immediately, but even so, I feel the aura of Darkness weakening little by little.” “It is as Luna says. Savior-sama, we would like to keep this Mana Core for a while and purify it gradually; would that be acceptable?”

“Then I will leave the Magic Tiger‘s Mana Core here. Please take care of it.” We said our goodbyes to Luna-san and the Elder, then teleported to the workshop.

At the victory ceremony, along with the matter of the Savior, the facts that I can create Golems and use Teleportation Magic were also made public. So even if Flora comes to the workshop via my Teleportation Magic, no one is surprised.

Thanks to that, it has become easier to do various activities. Incidentally, when I revealed the story of being the Savior to the workshop craftsmen before it was announced at the victory ceremony, they weren’t very surprised.

Carpenter said, “We know William-sama is a special person, and you’ve saved many people so far,” and Isla said, “Even hearing you’re the Savior, it’s just like, ‘Ah, as expected.'” In any case, I am grateful that they treat me the same as before.
