In the center of Noland.
Ever since the World Tree took root here, the barren pit gradually turned into a vibrant grassland.
A huge Ice Dragon was lying on the grass, and beside it was a tree that was not even as tall as a human.
The sleeping ice dragon suddenly opened its eyes and stared at the figure that slid down the grass from the edge of the pit.
"Taylin, are you cold?"
Ice Dragon stared at the frost elf. She was wrapped up tightly and even had a mask on her face.
"It's just that Mister Josiah said that if I don't dress like this, there will be riots on the streets." Taylin placed a wooden basket beside Ice Dragon.
Ice Dragon softly exhaled after hearing the name Josiah. The cold air condensed into frost in the air.
"Enluci might have chosen to take root here because of the watcher's influence." Ice Dragon said.
"Do you want to eat these?"
Taylin deliberately avoided the topic of the Ice Dragon's complaint. She raised the wooden basket in her hand and said to the Ice Dragon.
The size of the wooden basket was not even comparable to one of Ice Dragon's teeth, but under the icy blue inscriptions, Ice Dragon turned back into a silver-haired and silver-eyed female frost elf.
"You can build a hut here, Taylin."
The female elf, who was much older than Taylin in terms of appearance, age, and figure, took a vegetable bread from the wooden basket and stuffed it into her mouth.
"I have a job during the day, so I can't stay here all the time." Taylin said with some difficulty.
"A job? The 'radio host' job that Enluci once mentioned? "
Ice Dragon's eyes looked up and down at Taylin. It could still see the power of faith surrounding Taylin.
"Yeah, Katali, do you want to try too?" Taylin's goal this time was to find something for Ice Dragon to do.
In the past, when Ice Dragon guarded the World Tree, it would almost always curl up inside the World Tree and rarely leave.
"Using a certain method to please the humans? Taylin, this is not something a Holy Tree Protector should do. "
Ice Dragon Katarian righteously rejected Taylin's invitation. She was still very vigilant towards humans.
"Uh … Katarian, wait for me."
Taylin took out an Origin Crystal with the World Tree sealed inside. The only difference was that there were two leaves sealed inside this Origin Crystal.
If one looked closely, one could see that one of the leaves was silvery-white, while the other was dark green.
"The Dark Wood Elves' Holy Tree?" Ice Dragon immediately recognized where the dark green leaf came from.
Taylin injected mana into the crystal, and the Voice of Noland TV station appeared in front of them.
On the screen, the grey-clothed man was talking about his experience in taming owls.
Taylin transferred her mana to another leaf of the World Tree and completed an operation called "changing the channel."
"Welcome to the Falosi National Broadcasting Station this afternoon. This is Gomez's Interview Time. You can call it the Afternoon Dragon Interview. Today, we have the young actress that everyone in this country admires, Miss Carolee."
Taylin switched the image to the newly established Falosi National Broadcasting Station.
When the Ice Dragon Katarian saw this scene, he almost choked on the food in his mouth.
"The body of a humanoid creature is so troublesome."
She patted her chest with her hand and complained after swallowing the thing stuck in her throat.
"Wait, what is Gomez doing?!" Ice Dragon Katarian stared at the middle-aged man with a beard on the screen.
"He's the host of the program," Taylin answered Katarian's question softly.
"Has this Copper Dragon forgotten his duty as a Protector?!"
Ice Dragon Katarian immediately recognized that the host was one of his kind.
That was the dragon that protected the World Tree!
"Actually, this Protector is indeed fulfilling his duty." Taylin pointed at Carolee on the other side of the screen. "That human girl is the host of the World Tree of the Darkwood Elves?"
"Human?" Ice Dragon Katarian stared at Carolee for a long time. "I thought it was crazy enough for you, Taylin, to root the World Tree in the human world. I didn't expect the Darkwood Elves to make such a decision."
"Katarian, don't you want to give it a try?"
Taylin took out another portion of vegetable bread from the wooden basket and handed it to the Ice Dragon beside her.
"Gomez takes pleasure in teasing humans. I don't have such boring interests. Do you understand, Taylin?" Katarian said after finishing the bread in his hand. "This city is far more dangerous than the forest you used to live in. I don't know how many humans are eyeing the Holy Tree in the city. I have to focus on monitoring the surroundings."
"It's fine to rest a little."
Taylin took out two protocrystals from the wooden basket and handed them to Katarian.
"This protocrystal has a movie recorded inside, and this is the client of the Weave. Hmm … I should have stayed to explain how to use it to you, but I have a program on Noland's Voice in the afternoon."
"Using human creations won't stump me." Katarian said.
"Then let's stop here for today. If I don't leave now, I won't be able to make it. If you like this movie, I can bring you more later!"
Taylin bid farewell to the Ice Dragon apologetically and jogged up the grassy slope.
Katarian stared at the back of the Frost Elf as she left. He opened his mouth and wanted to shout something, but the words were stuck in his throat.
As the World Tree's Protector, he could let Taylin stay by its side. Human cities were always filled with all kinds of unexpected dangers.
But … Katarian looked at the World Tree that had grown to the height of a person.
This was all thanks to Taylin's hard work. The young Frost Elf had fulfilled her promise and relied on herself to once again take root on the World Tree.
"Don't we even have time to talk?" Katarian sat on the ground and looked up at the World Tree's young leaves.
A white cat quickly entered his line of sight.
"Enluci?"
The white cat jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the two protocrystals that Taylin had placed. It used its claws to push one of the protocrystals in front of Katarian.
"This raw crystal is used to record images. Do you find images of humans interesting?" Ice Dragon looked at the creature in front of him, who was a lot older than him, with a confused expression.
The white cat did not speak. It was using this method to urge Katarian to watch it quickly.
Ice Dragon placed the Primordial Crystal in her palm, and the moment she activated it, a projected image appeared in front of her.
The title of the image was' The Story of the Hachi Dog '.
"A canine creature? Even lower level … "
Katarian mocked herself for being so bored, but with a wave of her hand, she created a wall of ice to give herself a better viewing experience.
… …
Two hours later, the curtains fell on the story of the Hachi Dog.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Katarian rubbed his eyes and looked at the white cat in front of him. The white cat was cleaning its claws.
"I can't believe I see my own reflection in a wild beast."
Ice Dragon's gaze was fixed on the image of Myna sitting in front of the snowy train station, bitterly waiting for the return of its dead master.
When the snow fell on Myna's body, its life was nearing its end. Yet, it did not give up waiting, and used its entire life to explain the word 'loyalty'.
Although Katarian was extremely unwilling to admit it, he did see a shadow of himself in this creature called Myna … and there was a strange resonance.
This resonance stirred his heart that had been silent for so many years.
Snow fell quietly in the image, and before he knew it, dusk was approaching in Noland.
"I admit that this is a story full of warnings, but it's very interesting." Ice Dragon Katarian looked at the white cat again. "Holy Tree, I want to know when Taylin's next visit will be!"
The ice dragon vaguely remembered that before Taylin left, she had told it that she would bring a new movie the next time she visited.
As a dragon, more than a decade was nothing more than a yawn to it, but Katarian couldn't hold it in any longer.
The white cat yawned to express its attitude, and then pushed another protocrystal in front of Katarian.
"A message from the Weave?" The ice dragon picked up the protocrystal according to the white cat's instructions.
It easily crushed the protocrystal. After Katarian took the initiative to accept a large number of inscriptions into its body, a virtual interface appeared in front of Katarian.
The white cat leaped onto the Ice Dragon's shoulder and began teaching it how to use the Magic Net.
"It's been a long time, but I've rarely seen you so happy like today," the ice dragon said with some nostalgia.
The white cat did not appreciate it, and used its paw to slap its cheek, then pointed at the Weave interface.
"I still don't want to believe that this is something the Warden could create. It connects almost everyone in this city."
Under the white cat's guidance, the ice dragon quickly completed the registration of the Weave. After obtaining a common account, it logged into the message and entered the message number the white cat gave it.
After about three minutes, Taylin accepted the ice dragon's request.
"May I know if this is the Lord Protector?!"
When the first message popped up, the ice dragon Katarian felt a sense of novelty that he had not felt in a long time.
"So I can communicate with Taylin now?" When Katarian asked the white cat again, it had already disappeared.
Katarian could only look at the Weave interface in front of him and fumble around, including the virtual keyboard made of a bunch of letters.
