The ability to turn into a crow was an ability the Dark Elves had before joining the Court of Heresy. Some of the more fortunate ones among the Dark Elves were blessed by nature and given the ability to transform into beasts.
She was chosen on that day, so she had the ability to transform her body into that of a crow.
The form of a crow was the one she was most familiar with other than her human form.
Today, she flew back to the Falosi Mansion as fast as she could. When she was about to reach the balcony outside, a strange window suddenly popped up in front of her.
"Return to the Falosi Mansion. I have a test for you."
This line of text occupied her entire field of vision, making her instantly lose her sense of distance from the target.
Because this line of text appeared so suddenly, she could not even retract her wings. It hit the bullseye and shattered a window on the third floor of the Falosi Mansion.
Test?
The Dark Elf in crow form spat out a mouthful of glass shards and tidied up the glass shards in her feathers.
This was the first time she had crashed into a window of a human building since learning to become a crow. The culprit of all this was this line of text that popped up in front of her.
Fortunately, her "rashly" breaking into the Falosi Mansion this time did not attract the attention of others.
The Dark Elf glanced around the room. The room was filled with all kinds of letters and a few owls in deep sleep.
She was standing on a long table filled with raw crystals used for illumination. Most of the letters piled up on the table were scattered on the ground.
"New?"
"Why is this newcomer so dark?"
The owls were also awakened by the Dark Elf. They cooed in greeting, asking where the Dark Elf had come from and where she was going.
She had the ability of the elven druids to transform into beasts, so of course she understood the language of beasts. She glanced at the owls.
For the spellcasters of Noland, or rather, for people all over the world, there were two kinds of birds that were indispensable. The first was the pigeon, and the second was the owl.
They were responsible for the delivery of letters in this world and the important responsibility of building the communication network.
Nolan, on the other hand, was mostly made up of owls. These owls were probably raised by the Falosi Mansion.
The Dark Elf tilted her head in the face of the owls' questions and let out a piercing caw. Then, she flapped her wings and flew out of the room.
Only a few owls were left, staring at each other. The Dark Elves had just told them a piece of unfortunate news.
"You're going to lose your jobs!"
… …
"Since the chat program is only a beta version, I don't want to see it suddenly pop up."
Josiah leaned against the window and looked at the crow standing on the windowsill. There were still some glass shards in its feathers.
It seemed that this crow was the one who had caused such a huge commotion upstairs.
Josiah reached out to help the crow clean up the glass shards on its back, but it quickly dodged Josiah's fingers. Its movements were so agile that it wasn't something a bird should have.
Only then did Josiah remember that the crow was a Dark Elf girl. No one would want a stranger to touch their back.
"What test?"
The crow didn't speak, but the Dark Elf's voice traveled directly into Josiah's ears.
"A test of the magic net's range."
Since the network in this world was based on the World Tree and spread through Mana and Spirit Power, Josiah decided to call it the Demon King.
Unfortunately, the magic net couldn't release some dangerous spells like in the DND. It could only be used to browse the forums, Weibo, and watch some videos.
"Range?"
The crow tilted its head and scanned everyone in the room, but it quickly focused its gaze on Taylin.
Taylin didn't know what Josiah was doing, but her closeness to nature and animals made Taylin smile and wave at the crow.
"The host of the World Tree …"
The Dark Elf had been monitoring Josiah for a long time. This Frost Elf had been following Josiah since last week. Just like the female spellcaster, she had a lot of information about this Frost Elf.
This included the seed of the World Tree that this Frost Elf had.
She and the Frost Elf were in the same boat. Their race had both been swallowed up by the gray fog due to the atrocities of the Court of Heresy. The only difference was that she was the last Dark Elf in this world.
And this Frost Elf who had inherited the seed of the World Tree had a chance to revive her race in the future.
"Those bastards from the Court of Heresy will not allow her to live in this world."
The Dark Elf suddenly lowered her voice to remind Josiah.
"Why?"
The only reason that Josiah could think of was that this Frost Elf was working in his Hearthstone Tavern.
If that was the case, then the Court of Heresy would send assassins after her. Josiah felt that the Hearthstone Tavern's employment insurance should be increased.
"…"
The Dark Elf who had turned into a crow was silent for a moment in response to Josiah's question. It was only when Josiah temporarily removed the mark on his palm that she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Because … our race's World Tree was swallowed by the unknown Grey Fog, just like her."
The Dark Elf lowered her voice, her tone filled with undisguised murderous intent.
"I'm sorry that I accidentally poked your sore spot …"
"It's fine, I'm already numb to it. Tell me what the range test is."
Although the Dark Elf lived in this world with hatred, she deeply understood that she had to do more than just revenge. She also had to repay the princess who had once saved her.
The special 'magic' that Josiah had created and the demo of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" were definitely the best gifts that the Dark Elf could give her benefactor.
"It's simple. The Weave signal at the bottom right corner of your desktop is full, right?" Josiah asked.
The Dark Elf summoned the XP system that Josiah had installed for her. Looking at the bottom right corner, she found that there were indeed five white cubes.
"Your next task is to circle around the entire Noland. Every time the signal decreases, tell me your location."
This was the most direct way that Josiah could test the range of the Weave.
"Use the spell known as the Chat Window to communicate with you?"
The Dark Elf once again tidied up the glass shards in her feathers. She wanted to find a place to take a bath today.
"That's right."
Josiah had created a brand new input method in the system. It wasn't the smart ABC. Josiah had only created a simulation of a computer keyboard.
