Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 34. First Ever Equipment: [Wind Leaf Amulet] .

It took Flor four hours to suddenly wake up with a start, as her brain remembered that she was speaking with Liu Shu. 'I fell asleep? I must've been tired...'

Rubbing her eyes, she looked around the vault and saw something different from yesterday. 'Hm? What's this?'

The large pile of items at the corner was still there, but it was much more messed up. Clearly, Liu Shu had been searching for things inside of it. "Then, the things Liu Shu searched for... Ah, there they are."

With a quick glance, the Rose Fairy Queen spotted a new pile of wooden materials. Thanks to her affinities, Flor realized that all the materials here had some affinity for Air Aether Mana. 'Hm... What does she want to tell me? First, she told me to come here and showed me six piles of many different items, one of them being clearly bigger. However, her intention is not to show that to me.'

Flor rationalized. 'Still, Liu Shu was in quite a hurry for a tree. So, what can make our tree feel nervous or excited enough to call me here in a hurry?'

To help her understand a bit, Liu Shu used one of her beautiful roots to squeeze around the pile of air-related wooden materials. As the roots became smaller, more and more pieces of wood fell from the sides. Flor looked at that action and saw the roots squeezing more and more until all items fell from the sides. 'She didn't grab...Oh. OH!'

Flor, this time for real, smacked her forehead with a loud and sonorous smack. "... Ouch."

She saw that she had actually shaved off five points of Phoer Body Shards, making her lips twitch. 'This hit will leave a handprint, won't it?'

Flor, leaving that problem for later, asked, "Do you want me to gather more materials of this kind?"

Instantly, her mind was bombarded with happy feelings from Liu Shu. The World Tree was clearly excited, making Flor smile as well. "Sure. We'll make a group search for materials with wind affinity. What about the others in the pile? Do we search for them as well?"

This time, Flor received a much less enthusiastic response, but it was a yes nonetheless. "So... We search for them, but with less priority. Got it." Then, Flor asked. "Was this all, Liu Shu?"

After receiving one final affirmative response, Flor flew out of the vault with one piece of wood from each of the materials to use as an example. When she was out, she realized that the Sun had yet to start rising, but since it was a new day, she approached Liu Shu and started using her Royal pollination on her.

The red dust her wings released quickly filled the air around the World Tree, and then Liu Shu received nine experience points.

She had been asleep for one week, and adding today's share, she had received a total of 87 experience points.

'Now, let's create those amulets!'

Liu Shu didn't waste time as everything had been prepared for a while. First, she cut off her <World Tree Eye> from relaying information anywhere other than the vault, where she would do the Woodcrafting.

First, Liu Shu activated her skill, allowing her Aether Mana and Anima energy to flow through her roots and surround the entire <Lignified Vault>. Usually, a room specially prepared for this needed to be used.

Rooms for Woodcrafting were surrounded in arrays, something akin to circuits that conducted energies to increase the density of energies and also fed the tools the wood crafter would have in their workplace.

Liu Shu had none of this, so she had to make do with her own energy and create a similar environment inside the Vault. Thankfully, the vault was entirely surrounded by her roots, so controlling this had many fewer complications than one would imagine. All of this, taking into account Liu Shu's nature as a World Tree.
