Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 141. Life in the Golden Sap Town.

Flor knew that the two people would become too fixated on the abnormalities of the World Tree if she let it continue, so she interrupted their thought process. "By the way, have you thought how to mine this place?"

Terra blinked and looked at Flor. "Well, we need to do a lot more research. Coming up with something on the first visit is not only irresponsible, it is a lack of actual effort. The sturdiness of the walls, the clusters of minerals, how the mine's integrity would respond to loud or strong excavation, and many more things are to be taken into account before we even dare start digging around."

The Rose Fairy Queen was satisfied with that answer. "Well, I'll accompany you each time you come here. Also, remember to speak with Liu Shu about integrity. I think her roots can do a lot of good as well as a lot of bad if poorly guided."

Terran asked. "Can we talk with Liu Shu whenever we want?"

Flor nodded. "Her ability to multitask is startling. Of course, the more she multitasks, the slower her responses are. But, there is almost no information that goes unnoticed."

Terra and Terran looked at each other with surprise in her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the Town Hall, the economist and managers looked around the files that they were allowed to look at. One of them discovered something interesting. "Oh? There was a human caravan that stopped here in the past."

"Huh?" The other four approached and looked at the logs. Some of them frowned at what they exchanged.

"This... They really got a good deal, didn't they? Tsk, tsk."

"Right... Look, these few hundred <Delicious Berry> for a few... what's this... Pebbleheart? Yellow Cotton? Wow."

Someone knocked on the door and entered. Looking over, they saw one of the high-level Rose Fairies entering with a tray of food. "Hello!"

"Oh! Clavel, right?"

Clavel smiled. "Yes." Looking at what they were holding, she asked. "So... What are you doing?"

One middle-aged man commented. "We are seeing what kind of deals your town has made in the past. There are not many, but we've realized that you put a lot of emphasis on books. Why is that?"

Clavel hummed. "I don't know if I can tell you. How about I call Queen Ignatia?"

The five people coughed, and one female commented. "Um, Clavel, can you tell us a bit more about Queen Ignatia?"

Clavel nodded. "She arrived more than a year ago. When she appeared the first time, we didn't know if she would be an ally or an enemy, but we allowed her to make a nest near us."

The five of them began sweating.

Clavel smiled widely. "Then, she started coming to our place often! She has fought with us several times as well, and..." Clavel frowned. "She takes great care of Queen Flor."

The female blinked twice, and her eyes flashed with an interested light. "Oh? In what way?"

Clavel confessed, looking puzzled. "Well, she is always around Flor. She likes taking Queen Flor in her arms or making her sit on her shoulder, then..."

The woman's eyes sparkled as she listened while the other four men rolled their eyes at her. "That's fantastic! To think an Ant Queen has fallen in love with a Rose Fairy!"

Clavel muttered. "Queen..."

The woman realized and apologized. "Right, right. Lady Flor is a Rose Fairy Queen."

Clavel smiled. "It doesn't matter much. Still, there are some young Rose Fairies that take her title very seriously. Be careful."

The woman smiled. "Noted." Then, she blinked and asked. "So~, can you tell me more of those two?"
