Tylene opened her eyes. She got up from the bed, yawned and stretched her body.
She slept very well last night. After she finished yawning and tidied up her slightly messy long golden hair, she subconsciously moved to grab the comb next to her bed and grabbed the empty air.
It was only at this moment that Tylene realized she was not in her room in Madam Schroder’s mansion!
As she looked around her surroundings, she began to recall what happened yesterday.
Upon recalling how she had fainted before a demon, Tylene immediately grew wide awake and began to examine her body.
Her clothes were slightly creased from sleeping in them. But, they showed no sign of being taken off by someone.
Most importantly, there were no injuries on her body. Tylene looked at her hands, there were no trace of strange imprints either.
She began to utilize her remaining magic power to inspect her body. There were no signs of curses on her body either.
“You’re finally awake.”
A voice suddenly sounded from beside Tylene. That voice interrupted her train of thoughts. A dim rune appeared in her hand. A cold aura began to extend from her body.
“You wouldn’t even be able to catch a rabbit with an ice magic that low level. Save your strength and eat some breakfast.”
With a wave of her hand, Ciri dispersed the ‘cool and refreshing’ breeze.
The elves should have greater talent for magic than humans. Unfortunately, this Frost Elf was simply too weak. She was so weak that she was unable to even construct an offensive magic.
The magic she used earlier would only, at the very most, be as effective as the coldness of a refrigerator.
Ciri placed a plate filled with fruits on the bedside table.
The Frost Elf looked to those fresh fruits on the plate. Her panic-filled heart finally calmed down.
The hunger from not eating anything all night prompted her to get out of her bed. She picked up the fruits on the table and hesitated for a bit before ultimately eating them.
“You suddenly fainted last night. Because of that, we had no choice but to let you sleep in here. Now that you’ve awakened, how are you feeling?”
Joshua walked up to the second floor. He looked to the Frost Elf that had just finished eating the fruits.
“Very good. I am extremely grateful that you allowed me to stay here for the night.”
Tylene must admit that last night’s sleep was the most comfortable sleep she had in a very long time.
In the past, whenever she lost consciousness from the erosion of the black mist, she would always end up having terrifying nightmares. Yet, she managed to sleep very well last night.
With the sleep comforting her mind, Tylene, for some indescribable reason, began to believe the story of the ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ Perhaps... this demon before her was a... good person?”
“In that case, I think we can talk about the topic of your employment. But, before that, I am very curious as to why you fainted last night.”
Joshua picked up a chair and seated down before the Frost Elf.
In order to help the seed fight the black mist, Joshua spent a long time supplementing it with runes. In the end, that seed accepted the system Joshua compiled using the runes of order.
The system was a version with a firewall. But, Joshua needed more time to complete that system and turn the seed into a server.
But, in order to do so, he must make sure that seed would be able to survive. Unfortunately, the seed was already showing signs of wilting. Even though Ciri found a watering can and watered the seed, it was unable to change the seed’s wilting at all.
“The reason why I fainted? That would be a long story. Mister Joshua, do you wish to listen to it?”
To Joshua’s surprise, Tylene did not show any intention to conceal her past. After Joshua nodded, the Frost Elf began telling a story that wasn’t too long.
The story could be summarized as a story about ‘The Elf Princess Restoring Her Country.’ But, what Joshua was concerned with was the reason why Tylene became famous.
When others showed admiration for her, their race’s World Tree will receive corresponding ‘nourishment.’
Joshua felt that to be very similar to the relationship between gods and their believers.
“In other words, you wanted to germinate your race’s World Tree and had no choice but to become an idol?”
Joshua briefly summarized the true purpose why this Frost Elf sought for him.
“The World Trees are the foundation of every elven race. I do not wish for our race to die out under my hands. Although it might sound reckless, I still wanted to attempt it,” said Tylene.
In this world, all the elven races’ World Trees were nourished by the belief from the generations of elves protected by the World Trees.
Tylene has never heard of World Trees being able to be nourished with human beliefs.
But, Tylene believed that she should be the only Frost Elf left in this world. If she was the only person believing in their Frost Elf’s World Tree, it definitely wouldn’t be enough nourishment.
“If the conditions for the World Tree to grow is as you imagined it to be, I possess a way to make you famous. But, whether or not the audience will remember your name will be up to your own abilities.”
Joshua possesses sufficient means to make Tylene a famous ‘singer’ in Norland. However, that’s assuming Tylene’s singing voice was excellent.
This world does not possess any vocal tuners or music engineers. As such, Joshua was only able to provide Tylene a means to become famous. As for conquering the audience and captivating their hearts to make them believers in the World Tree, that was something that this Frost Elf needed to do on her own.
“I am confident in my singing voice.”
Tylene replied with unwavering confidence.
Back when her Frost Elf race still existed, she was one of the few elves that were able to summon the consciousness of their World Tree with her singing voice.
Their Frost Elf’s grand elder has even told her that her singing voice was capable of purifying one’s heart.
“Is that so? Then, Miss Tylene, are you willing to do a demonstration in my tavern?”
Joshua might know about the condition of that World Tree’s seed even better than Tylene. It was in urgent need of new nourishment. Because of that, Joshua decided to conduct a small test.
“There’s no issue with that... But, is it possible for me to wash myself first?”
Tylene’s hand was placed on her long golden hair. If there was a mirror present, she was certain that her hair would be extremely messy.
No girl would be willing to let others see them in such a messy appearance. This was especially true for a girl that was about to get on stage.
“On the left corner of this floor is an originium crystal that produces water. The amount of magic power in that originium crystal should be enough for you to bathe with. I am able to provide you with a change of clothes.”
When Tylene was battling the gray mist last night, her entire body was covered in cold sweat. Because of that, her body was very sticky right now.
Tylene accepted Joshua’s proposal and walked over to the room used to wash oneself. Ciri stay behind to prepare a change of clothes for her.
As for Joshua, he went downstairs to prepare this Frost Elf lady’s first concert.
