Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 35. Rose Fairies Receive The Amulet.

The Rose Fairy Queen flew toward the World Tree and asked with a smile. "What's wrong, Liu Shu?"

Liu Shu, this time, was quick and opened the <Lignified Vault>'s door with her roots in a swift and eager manner. 'Come, come~. Hehe, I hope Flors like it~.'

Flor went in, closing the door behind her. Before she closed it, she heard Clavel's voice. "Queen, where are you going?"

Flor paused, holding the door from closing with one hand. Then, she commented as she lifted it slightly and looked at Clavel. "I'm going to check something Liu Shu created. Do you want to see with me?"

Clave blinked. "Creating?"

Flor smiled. "Liu Shu has done a weapon or something similar for us. It seems that it is a skill she has learned not long ago."

Clavel's eyes opened. "She has created equipment!?"

Flor shrugged. "As I said, this is my first time checking it out. I don't know if it will work or not. But, from what I've guessed, that was her intention."

Clavel was awed, and as she approached, she realized. "Oh? Is that why you asked us to collect those materials?"

Flor nodded. "That's right." Then, she asked. "How is it going?"

Clavel shrugged. "We are doing what we can, but searching for trees of that kind and picking their dropped branches is not easy. We've managed to spot a F- Rank Tree, so we'll have one Level 5 harpy go there from time to time to pick up fallen branches, trim those the tree doesn't need or finds bothersome, and, well, take care of it overall."

Flor smiled. "That's Good. If possible, be sure to check her return daily. Thornstrides have retreated, but they might be lurking. The last thing I want is for them to start ambushing you."

Clavel grinned. "We'll be careful, Queen."

After their short conversation, both of them flew inside. Once inside, Flor looked around and was quick to spot a cute and adorable amulet. Hung around a branch by a finely crafted rope made out of thing blades of grass.

Flor asked. "Is that it, Liu Shu?"

Clavel looked over, her eyes widening. "So pretty!"

The amulet's very simple shape still managed to resemble Liu Shu's overall form while emitting a soft and faint Aether Mana.

Clavel and Flor looked at each other, and Clavel even whispered. "Do you think it will work?"

Flor rolled her eyes, clearly expressing disapproval. "It is her first time. She shouldn't have done something successful. I heard that average wood crafters take a few years of preparation to create their first complete items."

Looking at the Rose Fairy Queen with a strange thought, she asked. "You are trying to teach her these things? Do you know how long it will take her to start creating an effective production method?"

Flor naturally knew these things. She smiled and commented. "I'm not planning to have her finish everything for us, Clavel. We are the first generation to create the foundation for our race's future with her."

Clavel paused, looking at Flor with a deep gaze. "Are you planning for us that long term?"

The Rose Fairy Queen answered, "Well, sowing seeds for harvest is quite a common way of getting the food you want. Our current actions are the seeds, and what the future might hold for us will unfold depending on whether the seeds we grow learn the importance of Liu Shu."

Flor sighed. "Even then, a bad seed might eventually appear, breaking a delicate balance that had held up everything together. One Fraar incident is all that must happen, and things can go south quickly."
