Taylin put down the manuscript in her hand and stretched lazily. The rays of the setting sun shone into the Hall of Silence, scattering over Taylin's hair.
Under the illumination of the sun, the frost elf's golden hair was slowly being replaced by silver.
Frost elves had silver hair to begin with, and the elder of the frost elves had used special magic to disguise Taylin as an ordinary wood elf when he sent her out of the forest where the frost elves lived for generations so that she could escape the pursuit of the 'Grey Fog'.
As time passed, the camouflage spell that the elder had cast on Taylin's body gradually weakened, and her body began to show the characteristics of a frost elf.
If it had been before when Taylin was with the Black Swan, she would have repaired the spell as soon as the camouflage spell wore off.
Taylin clearly remembered what the elder she respected told her before he died. 'Take the World Tree Seed and flee this land. Don't reveal your identity to anyone, or the people of the Grey Fog will find you! Go to the Blackwood Forest … and find a wood elf called Safarn. He will protect you! '
"I'm sorry … Elder, I didn't go to the wood elves …"
Memories of her former home being devoured by the Grey Fog kept flashing through Taylin's mind, as well as the elder's hopeful gaze towards her before he died.
The elder of the frost elves must have hoped that Taylin would seek protection from the wood elves, and with their help, the World Tree Seed in Taylin's body would sprout once more.
It was a pity that Taylin did not listen to the elder's advice, and instead entrusted the World Tree and herself to a demon.
If the elder of the frost elves who had turned to dust knew that Taylin had sided with a dangerous demon, they would definitely fly into a rage …
Even so, Taylin did not regret her choice.
She stared at the tender green leaves of the World Tree in front of her. Compared to when it had just sprouted, the World Tree had now grown to a height of nearly half a meter. It had grown from a tender sprout to the level of a potted plant. Its roots had begun to spread, and the number of leaves had gradually increased.
Ever since Noland's Voice was launched, one could feel the 'admiration' of the people from all over Noland every day.
These feelings of admiration turned into nourishment, allowing Taylin to see the growth of the World Tree almost all the time.
That was because no matter how hard Taylin performed in the Black Swan, she never gave the World Tree that much nourishment … even in the wood elves' domain, Taylin had only found a place to hide, and not a place to revive her race.
The current growth of the World Tree gave Taylin hope. It wouldn't be long before this little sapling grew into a towering ancient tree.
And all of this was given by the Chaos Devil, Josiah.
"Have you finished reading Mister Josiah's story?"
Taylin flipped through the manuscript in her hand. On the last page of the story, Taylin had drawn a picture of a leaf with her pen, meaning that the story had been shared with the listeners of Noland's Voice.
"In other words, I can ask Mister Josiah for a new story."
Taylin closed the manuscript with the Thousand and One Nights written on it. Josiah had given Taylin the stories one after another.
Taylin would read it several times before sharing it with the listeners of Noland's Voice … every story was interesting enough to make Taylin forget time.
Moreover, after sharing it with the listeners through Noland's Voice, the Noland's Voice section of the spellcaster forums would have a bunch of related threads, with the most discussed story being Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
"Do you think the magic lamp really exists?"
Taylin suddenly asked the World Tree, who was sprawled on the table.
The World Tree did not answer Taylin. It seemed to have sensed something, and its branches suddenly curled up.
Taylin was about to ask what was wrong with the World Tree, but she suddenly felt her heart palpitate.
This kind of palpitation did not bring about any pain, but it made Taylin feel flustered.
She immediately ran out of the Hall of Silence, ran to the window, and opened it to look at the sky outside.
As she opened the window, the noise of the commercial street poured into Taylin's ears. The panic in Taylin's heart just now disappeared as if it did not exist.
"What … happened?"
Taylin clutched her chest and looked at the World Tree in the Hall of Silence, which had returned to normal.
Since the World Tree was lodged in her body, she and the World Tree were technically a whole. She could also feel some of the World Tree's sensations.
For example, when Josiah caressed the World Tree's leaves …
And this time, the palpitate that Taylin felt was coming from the World Tree.
"Is someone asking you for help? Lady Enluci? "
Taylin walked back to the Hall of Silence and asked the World Tree. Unfortunately, the World Tree did not answer Taylin, and it maintained its silence.
"Sister Taylin, your dinner."
At this moment, Ino came into the Hall of Silence with some fruits, interrupting Taylin's thoughts.
"Ino! Wait … What's up with your clothes today? "
Ino's appearance had undoubtedly dispelled the doubts in Taylin's heart. Ever since she joined the Hearthstone Tavern, Taylin had gradually become familiar with this beautiful succubus.
This succubus' existence had also stimulated some of Taylin's hidden hobbies, such as … dressing the succubus in beautiful clothes.
Right now, Ino was wearing a standard male servant's attire, which obviously did not meet Taylin's standards of beauty.
"Sister Taylin, the dress you gave me is very cold, and some of the drunken customers in the tavern will stare at me strangely."
Ino took a small step back, but her pace was still not as fast as the Frost Elf lady who was striding towards her. Soon, Ino was forced into a corner.
"Ino, for the sake of the tavern's sales, you have to be patient. According to my observations, many customers are here for you."
"Wait … Wait a minute! Sister Taylin, His Highness Josiah wants you to meet him in the study after dinner! "
Ino, who was forced into a corner, made a final struggle, and this struggle was very effective.
"Mr. Josiah?"
Taylin put away the look that was almost incompatible with the word 'elegant' and finally stopped her footsteps.
"Hmm … It should be for the new script."
Ino took this opportunity to move a few steps towards the stairs, ready to escape at any time.
Upon hearing the words' new script ', Taylin's reaction was shockingly synchronized with that of the Dark Elf. Her pointy ears pricked up like a rabbit's.
"I'll rush over now!"
