The Darkwood Elf, Ruvita, escaped from Squirrel Street with Riley. Relying on the physical strength of the Darkwood Elves, it took her nearly half an hour to run from the edge of Noland back to the Falosi Mansion.
The servants in the mansion guarded the perimeter of the mansion with longswords, and the entire mansion was in a state of martial law.
"You're late, Ruvita."
Elder Saiphane was setting up a 'Seed of Surveillance' outside the Falosi Mansion when the Seed of Surveillance at the main entrance of the Falosi Mansion saw Ruvita rushing over.
"Elder Saiphane, what … happened?"
"The holy tree is about to welcome a new life," Elder Saiphane said.
"Oh no! Riley! I have to leave first! "
Ruvita instantly understood the importance of the matter. She put down the demon girl and quickly ran into the Falosi Mansion.
The moment she entered the mansion, she felt the vigorous life force of the World Tree.
Ruvita rushed to the indoor garden in the center of the Falosi Mansion with a heart full of anxiety and joy, but she found that there was a huge magic circle inscribed inside the garden.
The magic circle formed a barrier that blocked her outside, and she couldn't even see what was inside.
"High Priest Olanca!" Ruvita shouted his name loudly, but there was no response.
She slowly took a few steps back, realizing how big of a mistake she had made by sneaking out so rashly ….
The birth of the holy tree was even more important to her race than their lives.
She could already imagine how High Priest Olanca would punish her … Uneasiness and resentment filled the young elf priest's heart at the same time.
Just as she was thinking of ways to remedy the situation, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Stop shouting, this magic circle seems to be soundproof."
Luvita immediately turned around and saw the human who had moved a chair to the indoor garden and was waiting … or should I say … a Demon?
"Do you want a biscuit?" Josiah handed the box in his hand to the somewhat bewildered Darkwood Elf.
In order to welcome the arrival of the Devil Realm's emissary group, Josiah missed his lunch time, so when he arrived at the Falosi residence, Josiah casually found some desserts to appease his hunger.
"I … don't have an appetite right now." Ruvita shook her head and refused Josiah's offer of food.
"Alright. Speaking of which, it's just a bud of the World Tree. Isn't it a little too grand to prepare such a complicated magic array?"
Josiah continued to munch on his biscuit while looking at the Falosi Mansion, which was enveloped by a huge magic array.
The barrier formed by this magic array was strong enough to withstand the impact of a Dragon.
"The rebirth of the sacred tree is far more important to our race than our lives!"
Ruvita raised her voice and said to Josiah, but she suddenly remembered something and covered her forehead.
"But … I missed it …"
"It's fine. You'll have the chance to make it up to me in the future."
Josiah tried to cheer up the dark wood elf.
"A chance to make up for it …"
Ruvita raised her head. She remembered that the reason she came to this city was to meet the existence that 'can speed up the growth of the sacred tree'.
After coming to Noland, Carolee had already proved that what she said was true. Josiah really did speed up the growth of the sacred tree.
The sacred tree that originally needed decades to germinate again only took half a month to be reborn.
And Ruvita heard from Priest Orlank that 'the growth of the sacred tree is far from limited to this, as long as they can also help.'
"What can I do for the sacred tree?" Ruvita asked.
"About this … I will give you an answer after this magic array disappears."
Josh's words were like a prophecy of the future, and as soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out.
The moment his voice fell, the magic array in the center of the indoor garden gradually disappeared, indicating the end of the welcoming ceremony held by the Darkwood Elf priests.
At this moment, Josiah inexplicably felt like … 'waiting outside the delivery room for his pregnant wife to come out'.
The scenery inside the garden had changed completely. The grass on the ground under the influence of the life force of the World Tree began to grow crazily to the height of the calves, and the trees began to bloom.
Priest Orlank slowly walked out of the garden and came in front of Josiah and Ruvita.
Josiah felt that the next news that Priest Orlank was going to say was that the mother and child were safe.
"Ruvita, we will talk about your admonition later." Priest Orlank looked at Josiah and once again gave Josiah the most solemn greeting of the Darkwood Elves.
"Thank you, Son of Chaos. The sacred tree has given birth to a new sprout. We can feel the vigorous life force."
"Now is not the time to be happy. The germination is only the first stage. We need to make it grow faster," Josiah said.
"The growth of the sacred tree requires far more 'nutrients' than the germination. Son of Chaos … Please tell us what we can do for the growth of the sacred tree."
After coming to Noland, Priest Orlank began to quietly accept the extraordinary growth of the sacred tree. If she returned to the Blackwood Forest now, she would definitely not be able to accept the slow growth of the World Tree.
"I originally wanted to tell you my plan after the construction of the new network is complete, but I'll tell you now so that you can be prepared."
Josh glanced behind Priest Olanca. The other seven elven priests and Caroline had also arrived at Priest Olanca's side one after another.
Carolee was holding the newly sprouted World Tree in her hands. Josiah was not sure if the World Tree would be able to transmit video through the magic net, but at least Josiah could broadcast it.
"I plan to hold a competition," Josiah said. "A competition that all the residents of Noland can participate in."
"A competition … Our race does not like disputes, but if …"
"Don't worry, the content of this competition is not fighting, but singing. Simply put, it will be a program like the daytime news. I will temporarily name it 'The Singer of the World'." Josiah glanced at the elven priests. They still could not understand the concept, so Josiah continued to explain. "You will all sing on the stage that I will provide. The audience of Noland will be the judges, and they will decide whether you stay or leave through voting."
"It sounds like a test. I experienced something like this in drama school," Carolee seemed to understand Josiah's intention.
"You can also think of it as a test. You will not be the only ones participating in this test. There will be people from all over Noland who are very confident in their singing. So, if you want to obtain more nourishment for the World Tree, you will need to rely on your singing to win over the audience of Noland!"
Josiah's explanation was more than enough, but Carolee raised her small hand and waved.
"Can I participate?" Carolee heard Josiah's plan and was immediately interested.
"With your reputation, Miss Carolee, it would be cheating to participate, but you can be one of the judges," Josiah said.
"Our race has absolute confidence in our singing, Child of Chaos."
The Olanca priests did not seem to think that they would lose to the humans in singing.
"I hope … so."
Josiah understood the concept of gods among the people. This was a huge project and plan, and Josiah would have to play some dirty tricks.
