Katarian glanced at the layout of the space. Josiah had set up a soundproof barrier just now.
Meanwhile, Taylin was sitting in a soundproof barrier, holding a thick book as if she was waiting for something.
"Watcher, what are you doing?" Katarian's hands were already covered in frost.
The reason why Katarian could stay calm was that apart from the soundproof barrier, he didn't feel any other magical fluctuations in this space.
But Katarian couldn't rule out the possibility that Josiah was going to use Taylin as a medium to hold some kind of ritual.
"Prepare a place for Taylin to work. Five in the afternoon is her working time."
Josiah directed the daytime banshee cameramen to their shooting positions.
Because of the broadcast of "Philosopher's Lecture" and "Frost's Civil Strife", Taylin didn't need to stay in the Hall of Silence all afternoon. She could occasionally rest for a few days a week.
Unfortunately, today wasn't Taylin's day off. Even if she was rehearsing for her concert, Taylin didn't want to miss the opportunity to talk to Noland's audience.
So, Josiah directly set up a temporary Hall of Silence in the Falosi Mansion.
But in the eyes of outsiders, surrounded by a bunch of magic inscriptions and a group of flying banshees, it looked like some evil ritual no matter how they looked at it.
"Work?"
Katarian stared at Taylin who was sitting behind the long table. Although there were soundproof inscriptions around, Katarian had learned a lot of useless knowledge over the years, such as reading lips.
"You gave her a job to tell these boring stories?"
Katarian quietly listened for more than ten minutes before he realized that Taylin wasn't chanting some complicated spell. Instead, she was telling the story of a girl named Cinderella.
It sounded like a boring story to Katarian. Nothing related to humans could pique the Ice Dragon's interest.
"You think it's boring, but other humans don't think so," Josiah said.
"Other humans?"
Katarian looked at Hiri, who was standing beside Josiah. She noticed that the human girl wasn't looking at Taylin. Instead, she was staring at the ground, her fingertips tapping on something in mid-air.
"Watcher, I don't like your jokes." Katarian frowned slightly. Hiri was the only human in the entire theater, and Taylin was still in the soundproof barrier.
If there was an audience for Taylin's story, then it could only be the daytime banshees.
Explaining to the elderly what the Internet was was really a puzzling thing.
Josiah knew that it was pointless to explain the concept of the Weave to this ice dragon, and it was better to use a practical example.
"The humans of Noland all listen through this."
Josiah waved his hand, and the interface of the Weave materialized in mid-air. Josiah turned on the Voice of Noland, and then used the inscription 'Strong Voice' to directly broadcast the voice.
"That fairy gave Cinderella a pair of glass slippers …" Taylin's voice suddenly sounded in Katarian's ears.
The ice dragon's expression froze for a moment, and she stared at the interface of the Weave in front of Josiah.
"A spell that transmits sound? No … "
Katarian found that he couldn't decipher the 'spell' that Josiah released.
"This thing is called the Weave, and it uses the World Tree as a link to construct a virtual space. Every human with the Weave can use this method to hear Taylin's voice."
With Josiah's reminder, Hiri, who was browsing the spellcaster forums, cooperated and used the inscription 'Strong Voice' to broadcast the voice of the Weave.
In that instant, Katarian heard two identical voices overlapping.
"The Weave."
The ice dragon suddenly remembered that she could feel the aura of the World Tree on most of the humans here after coming to this city.
"How many people in this city use this spell?!" Katarian asked with some uncertainty.
"I don't have any specific statistics, but I can confidently tell you that if you visit any of the shops and inns in the Norland Empire, you will meet people who use the magic net. If you walk down the street for an entire day, any Norland local will know what the magic net is." Josiah thought for a moment, and then said, "To use a more inappropriate analogy, if I were to compare the Weave to a contagious disease that can kill people, then there's no one alive in all of Noland right now."
"I like your analogy."
Katarian listened quietly to everything Josiah said. This was the first time she felt a chill down her spine with her elven skin.
"There are millions of humans in Noland. How many do you think are listening to Taylin's voice right now?"
The ice dragon didn't listen to Josiah's explanation anymore. Her attention was completely drawn to Taylin.
As the guardian of the Holy Tree, Katarian could also see things that only the Frost Elves could see.
That was the moment the Holy Tree absorbed nutrients.
The World Tree's avatar was lying on the long table, and the shimmering particles that gathered from all directions were continuously pouring into the white cat's body.
Although the faith was very thin and far from the firmness of the Frost Elves' faith in the World Tree, the amount was frightening.
If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the Holy Tree regained its former glory.
When Katarian breathed a sigh of relief, a tingling sensation once again poured into her body. The things that Katarian had tried her best to suppress once again began to boil in her mind.
Grey Fog …
Katarian knew that the High Elves couldn't completely remove the Grey Fog that had invaded their bodies, because it was impossible.
"Thank you for everything you have done for the Holy Tree, guardian." Katarian suppressed the boiling things in her mind, and turned her ice-blue eyes to Josiah. "But I still want to take her away!"
This had nothing to do with the Holy Tree's growth. Katarian knew that it was only a matter of time before this human city fell, or perhaps she was still worried about leaving the Holy Tree to the humans.
"Still? Then I must thank you for protecting the World Tree, Ice Dragon. " Josiah sighed softly, and mana began to gather in Josiah's palm. "But it's a pity that the Holy Tree doesn't belong to you."
As expected, a battle was unavoidable.
Scales appeared on Katarian's cheeks, and frost began to spread throughout the entire hall. But just as Katarian was about to risk his life to take Taylin away, a voice suddenly rang out.
A white cat suddenly sat on her head.
"No … Enluci." Katarian knelt on the ground as if she had lost all her strength. "Those humans aren't worth your life …"
Before the Ice Dragon could finish speaking, Katarian fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
The white cat stood on Katarian's head and licked its paws. After glancing at Josiah, it nimbly jumped back to Taylin's table and continued to sleep.
"Are you leaving it to me? Maybe I should ask the Gray One. "
Josiah and the Ice Dragon had completely broken down. Even if Katarian knew that staying in Noland was beneficial to the Holy Tree's growth, she still wanted to take Taylin somewhere.
