I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 164 Chapter 38: Love Captivation Curse(4)

To resolve the curse of Florin, the first step was to find Yeonhong Chunsamwol, one of the Twelve Divine Gods.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this would be a fundamental solution. I've only met Yeonhong Chunsamwol once, and even then, I was unconscious when I received her blessing, so I don't remember much.

When you think about it, I only know that the root of my abilities lies in Yeonhong Chunsamwol. My knowledge isn't much different from that of Florin.

"...It's been a while since I've come here."

The roots of the Celestial Tree, the space of the Divine Beasts.

This place, created by Yeonhong Chunsamwol for the Divine Beasts, is protected by the barrier of the World Tree, and the door only opens with the permission of the High Elf Elder or the Elf King.

Previously, there were special circumstances that allowed the intrusion of the Black Mage, but it is considered the safest place in the world.

"Your Majesty, are you sure we don't need to accompany you?"

"Yes, it's fine, take a rest."

Only Florin and I would enter the space of the Divine Beasts. We planned to remove our masks once inside, as revealing our faces to other magicians could lead to a situation similar to the incident with Orienna.

"Phew... Shall we go in?"

Seeing Florin looking nervous pricked my conscience.

If we fail here, it'll be quite embarrassing...

But, considering it's Yeonhong Chunsamwol, there's no way she wouldn't be able to take back the blessing she bestowed.

Whoosh!

The barrier opened, and as we stepped inside, the environment changed instantly. The Cradle of the Celestial Tree, blessed by the World Tree, felt cool and breezy even in midsummer, but inside, it was slightly humid and warm.

However, thanks to our bodies adapting well to the environment, it didn't feel particularly difficult.

"Let's go."

"...Okay."

Although Florin seemed nervous, she quickly followed when I took the lead. Elves are naturally good with trees, so in this jungle-like terrain, her pace was even faster.

Of course, if I started using teleportation, the story would change. But since it required precise calculation of distance and angle, it was mentally exhausting, so I didn't want to use it unnecessarily.

"You can take off your mask from here. There's no one around anyway."

"Is that okay...?"

She hesitated for a moment but soon removed her mask. There was no one around, and the allure of her charm had no effect on the Divine Beasts.

"Ah..."

Even as she removed her mask,

she kept holding onto her dress. While her face was exposed, she seemed very reluctant to show any skin.

Well, considering the trauma accumulated over hundreds of years, it's natural for her to be in the habit of hiding her body, and that wouldn't be resolved instantly.

"Feeling a bit refreshed?"

"Yes... very much."

"That's a relief."

We started walking immediately.

Beyond the first layer, towards the 14th layer.

The true form of Yeonhong Chunsamwol is located in the 15th layer. But no one can enter there. Maybe the other Divine Gods could.
