Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 107. [Information Flower Garden].

While walking down the street, Cinderielle asked Verdantia. "How are we going to investigate this?"

Verdantia explained. "There are various ways. However, it's not like they are a secret society or a hidden power. Void Witherwood Exarchs are a group that's extremist and has decent power for our area. Hence, they are still standing even when people know they are evil."

Cinderielle was confused. "But... Your mother, for example, could probably kill everybody there, right?"

Verdantia shook her head. "It's not that simple. You need to remember that everyone has connections. The Void Witherwood Exarchs are linked with more powerful people. If my mother went and destroyed them without reason, what would stop their top powers from coming to kill me? When you are in a high position, you always need to remember that what you can do to others, other people can do to you."

Cinderielle blinked and repeated. "What I can do to others, they can also do to me... That's a good sentence."

Verdantia smiled. "Therefore, if we are the ones causing trouble, people who can instantly kill us will most likely not bother. After all, there are plenty of small wars between weaker powers, and top powers do not involve themselves. Moreover, there are a few laws that prohibit fighting creatures that are much weaker. If anyone does that without any reason whatsoever, they become a global target."

Cinderielle asked. "What punishes those who punish those breaking the law? Like, there should be a group that's immune because they are the 'top,' right?"

Verdantia shook her head. "Those that you consider the 'top,' as you say, are far from being allied. All of them have different interests, and most importantly, they follow different World Trees."

Cinderielle muttered. "I see... I am honestly impressed that the entire underground area isn't covered by World Trees. They are more numerous than I've ever imagined."

Verdantia laughed. "Well, our planet is not small. Using a few calculations, deciphering the radius of Ceperet is easy. It is around 10,000km in radius."

Cinderielle blinked. "Is it?"

Verdantia snorted and looked at her. "Haven't you paid attention to applied mathematics lately? We've recently started calculating gravitational equations and also celestial geometry."

Cinderielle coughed. "I have yet to start studying."

Verdantia asked with a confused look. "What about listening in class?"

Cinderielle coughed again. "I am very attentive, but I sometimes become dazed and..."

Verdantia sighed. Looking forward, she noticed the building she was searching for was in sight. "Oh, we've arrived."

Following her gaze, Cinderielle saw a wooden building with a twisted shape but an elegant design. Above the entrance, a vine with white flowers spelled <Information Flower Garden>.

Cinderielle asked with a stunned look. "Don't tell me that we will ask for information here?"

Verdantia nodded. "From what I've learned, this place is quite secretive about their clients. Although people will know you've entered and exited, researching what type of information we've received would take a really big effort that most don't consider it worth it."

Cinderielle rubbed her chin and shrugged. "Sure, I'll trust you."

Verdantia and Cinderielle entered through the petal-like doors and looked inside. An elegant hall with white decorations adorning the corners of the wood entered their eyes. There was a leafy chandelier that shone with a white-green light, giving the surroundings a mystical but natural aura.
