Currently, Gallolie was controlling her game character to spread ‘bone meal’ on the seeds she had just planted.
This little trick that would allow plants to grow quickly was taught to her by Ciri.
“Flay, the potatoes should be done cooking. We can remove them from the furnace.”
Gallolie gently waved the ‘runes-inscribed crystal’ in her hand and changed her game character’s viewpoint toward her elven bodyguard’s direction.
“Potatoes? Young miss, please wait a moment.”
Flay controlled her character and tapped the right button on her runes-inscribed crystal. But, the moment she pressed the button, her screen was suddenly filled with brown-colored soil.
“Connection... lost?”
She looked at the words that appeared on the soil-filled screen. As if she received an electric shock, she immediately pulled her hands away. Then, she looked to Gallolie in alarm.
“Young miss... did I make some sort of mistake?”
‘Connection Lost’ was also present on Gallolie’s screen. Because of that, Flay felt that her controls might’ve collapsed the game!
Flay knew that the game possessed a ‘save’ function. But, for them to suddenly disconnect from the game, Gallolie’s house that she spent a great amount of effort on building must’ve been ruined.
“I... didn’t... save yet.”
Seeing her disconnected game screen, Gallolie muttered with a ghostly voice.
“Miss Gallolie... your chest.”
Sitting beside them, Tylene was not concerned with the sudden disconnection. As another person with a World Tree lodging in her body, Tylene could tell that there was an enormous amount of power gathering at Gallolie’s body.
“My chest?”
Gallolie lowered her head to look at her chest. Glimmers of faint green started to gather on her chest. It seemed like the gathered glimmering light was trying to form something.
“Daughter of the Forest! I sensed the throbbing of the World Tree!”
Right at this moment, Priestess Oranka pushed open the study’s door. She immediately noticed the glimmering light gathered on Gallolie’s chest.
When she saw this scene, she covered her mouth. Sparkling liquid started to gather in her eyes.
The reason for that was because this was the sign indicating the germination of the World Tree’s seed inside Gallolie! Originally, it would take half a month to a month for that to happen. But, upon arriving in Norland, the World Tree’s seed had reached this crucial junction in a short few days.
This scene indicated the revival of the Blackwood Elves.
“Daughter of the Forest, you will need to return to the Farucci’s Mansion.”
Priestess Oranka immediately walked over to Gallolie and recited some spells in elven tongue. Then, she drew some inscriptions on Gallolie’s chest. With that, the glimmers started to gradually disappear.
Using the elves’ ancient magic, she had temporarily suppressed the blossoming of the World Tree.
Based on the recording of their elven epics, the revival of a World Tree needed to be greeted with a majestic ceremony by the elves. But, most important of all, the vitality gathered in Gallolie’s body was simply too intense.
If the World Tree was to be allowed to germinate in Norland without any preparations, likely all the slightly capable mages in Norland would be able to detect the existence of the World Tree.
“We need to construct a magic formation and prepare a welcoming ceremony to greet the arrival of the Holy Tree,” Priestess Oranka said to Gallolie.
“But, I’ve asked Tylene about the germination of her World Tree. She told me that it didn’t produce any special reactions.”
Gallolie was frightened by Priestess Oranka’s seriousness. If it wasn’t for the fact that her stomach was flat, she might even think that she was a lady pregnant for ten months already and Priestess Oranka was an elder awaiting for the arrival of her newborn baby.
Nevertheless, Priestess Oranka’s current frame of mind was no different from someone anticipating the arrival of a newborn. She was anticipating the rebirth of their entire Blackwood Elf race!
“Miss Gallolie, I think... it’s because my race’s World Tree was extremely weak when I met Mister Joshua.”
Tylene extended her hand to gently caress the Frost Elves’ World Tree. When she first encountered Joshua, her race’s World Tree had been deeply corroded by the gray mist and was on the verge of death.
If she didn’t have Joshua’s help, she would definitely not be able to survive till today...
“The Holy Tree will definitely protect your race, Leader of the Frost Elves.”
Priestess Oranka made a gesture of etiquette that only elves understood to Tylene. As the final survivor of the Frost Elves, Tylene could indeed be viewed as the leader.
“I understand.”
Gallolie was able to understand the priority of things. She did not continue to linger on the issue with her save data and immediately followed Priestess Oranka and Elder Safran out of the Hearthstone Tavern.
The instant Elder Safran walked out from the tavern, he transformed into a giant bear. Even though a giant bear appearing on the streets of Norland was very eye-catching, they had no time to waste as they needed to quickly return to Farucci’s Mansion.
“Inform the priestesses in the Farucci’s Mansion with the magic network. Have them start on making preparations,” said Elder Safran in his bear form.
Priestess Oranka nodded. She transformed into an owl and flew into the skies above Norland and began to monitor any suspicious behaviors from the people nearby.
After roughly ten minutes, they’ve reached Farucci’s Mansion. The mansion was already in a state of emergency.
“Young miss.”
The human head butler walked out from the mansion and made a gesture telling them to go in.
“I will guard the mansion together with the human soldiers. Oranka, go and complete your mission in welcoming the arrival of the Holy Tree.”
Elder Safran transformed back into his elf appearance. He faintly lowered his head and watched as Gallolie and Priestess Oranka entered the mansion.
“Sisters... are the preparations of the magic formation for the welcoming ceremony completed?”
Priestess Oranka quickly rushed over to the mansion’s indoor garden. The other seven priestesses were busying themselves in the garden.
To construct something capable of shielding the magic power unleashed from the World Tree was a major undertaking for them.
“Where’s Luvita?” Priestess Oranka took a glance at the garden. She noticed that an elven priestess was missing.
It was the youngest of the nine elven priestesses, Luvita. In Priestess Oranka’s eyes, Luvita was an outstanding singer-chanter and priestess apprentice.
But, due to her curiosity and ability to accept new things, Priestess Oranka has been worried that she might get into some sort of accident ever since they came to Norland.
And now, her worries became reality.
“Luvita went out of the mansion this morning.”
“She seemed to have left to gather information at Norland’s marketplace. She brought the little demon girl out with her too,” informed two priestesses that were constructing the magic formation.
Gather information at Norland’s marketplace? Priestess Oranka sighed. It was more likely that Luvita had sneaked out to play.
But, she would have to wait till later to discipline that young elven priestess. Right now, they need to focus on constructing the complicated magic formation.
