Hermit Island's utilization rate for Dosticated Disaster Beasts was quite high. Because they couldn't actually hire people or allow large construction machinery, considerable transport and construction was delegated to them—important components.
Besides, future magic city concepts included their part. If they could be more useful, that was best.
"Thank you very much." Seeing fairies so generous, Jin Ruochu imdiately beca sweet-tongued. "We won't forget the World Tree Realm's enthusiasm."
"Not important technique knowledge—as long as you can learn it."
After answering, Edwina took out paper and sketched runes in void, leaving information while indicating everyone continue. Obviously she was happy to share information with allies—mainly because Magical Girl Manjusaka was likable. Actually fairies were good at glimpsing moods. Soone like Jin Ruochu with a pure heart needed no wariness, and the Salvation Church had many people with saint-like initial hearts—trustworthy.
The World Tree Realm had found friends.
Comparisons were odious—compared to the Holy City Association's group of fierce gods and evil spirits, Magical Girls were simply great benevolent people.
"By the way, let show you a place." Suddenly Tulip dragged the pink-haired girl with the group to broken floor ruins. "There's Knowledge Poison below."
Underfoot was collapsed brick rubble.
The bottom was deep and dark, unclear what was there. The scattered light only illuminated ruined debris, yet dark substantial magic power erged. This represented large amounts of Knowledge Poison contamination swirling—rashly investigating might encounter pollution.
"Disaster Beast activity caused this. They're fine though. I suspect it's a previous era training base."
"Why?"
"Didn't you say the island's original overlord was a spider Disaster Beast? That guy was good at digging holes, structure from bottom up. According to my electromagnetic detection, it's flooded below. So over years they kept migrating upward, finally reaching surface—also fits Hyacinth's judgnt about city subsidence."
Don't look at Magical Girl Tulip's usual carefree wild child behavior—her intuition was very accurate, judgnt extrely precise like special abilities.
Hearing this reasoning, Jin Ruochu was stunned then suddenly understood.
"I get it! The previous era was conducting Disaster Beast dostication experints, confining them in a huge base. Later the great catastrophe occurred, civilization perished, laboratories like Hermit Island naturally couldn't escape... People died, but Disaster Beasts remained active, gradually leaking out. Over ti they reproduced and dispersed, finally integrating into the island's original ecosystem."
"Due to long ti and definitely existing forbidden thods, the city continuously exploded then subsided, also accumulating considerable Knowledge Poison for shielding."
"So underfoot probably lie previous civilization's bones—this is a city built on a graveyard..."
Jin Ruochu made a face but no one responded. None here feared ghosts—ghosts not fearing them would be good enough.
"Worthy of Miss Manjusaka—you guessed very accurately." Julius praised. "Hermit Island seals large amounts of Knowledge Poison. This was also one reason we originally helped suppress defensive magic arrays. If we'd let you continue ssing around, sothing big would definitely happen."
"We were only Three Awakenings then."
"Don't belittle yourselves. Fairies value potential. I dare say if fairies hadn't stopped two permanent magics then, you'd definitely have used big moves to settle things."
"Past matters can be discussed later. Co this way."
The pink-haired girl led the group mysteriously to the hillside—here was lush greenery, the island's most primitive part:
Tropical jungle.
Towering ancient trees were everywhere, rising from earth straight to clouds, constructing a canopy. Fragrance perated the air—amid hundred flowers, bees buzzed. Stepping on green grass seed to emit refreshing aroma.
She ran to a North Arican giant sequoia and knocked—the super tree comparable to a building made dull sounds.
Before Jin Ruochu could explain, the fairies' eyes lit up with amazent: "Such large trees really exist in the human world?"
Tulip hadn't expected hiding trees in forest for so long without knowing herself.
"The 'Heimlich Giant' in California Redwood National Park is 115.85 ters tall. Ours is proportionally enlarged twice, used as fairy residence."
The pink-haired girl spoke like a real estate salesperson.
"How was this achieved?"
"Good question. Watered with all plant-related magic, doing our utmost to cultivate and force growth beyond limits. The entire Salvation Church has hundreds of magics—just thods to make trees bigger are countless. If we couldn't do this, what would we call ourselves the first major Magical Girl Organization?"
"...Indeed, magic miracles lie in their ability to combine and create more wonders."
Julius looked up and smiled—she'd seen too many magnificent things. What was precious was the Salvation Church creating one achievent after another like artists carefully sculpting their works, constantly innovating, communicating, progressing—unlimited future.
"How is it? Suitable? Actually we can improve production."
"No need to trouble yourselves—it's sufficient."
Facing enthusiastic hosts, Julius hurriedly waved hands, flattered. Actually for fairies, sharing Magical Girls' magical energy was profitable enough, besides their side having so suspicion of dragging allies into trouble—a bit sorry for these lovely girls' trust. Conversely, Edwina was quite composed, highlighting mutual benefit without debts.
As if seeing their concerns, Tulip actively said: "Don't worry. Since we're already allies, let's weather difficulties together. The more partners the better."
"Thank you."
"Speaking of which, how much do you understand about the Fallen Zone Center? These years I've always sensed evil magic power from inside, closely related to Disaster Beast eggs—in nature even sowhat similar to you all. That's strange."
For ultra-wide-range perception, none compared to Pseudo Magnetic Field. Since she'd bring it up, she definitely had confidence.
Over years the South Pacific Fallen Zone had left too much destruction for the world, full of disasters—no one wasn't curious about it.
Seeing this, Jin Ruochu also cast inquiring looks. Having jointly experienced that Obsidian battle, Intelligent Subspecies didn't look normally born at all. Having to fight those guys next, the more intelligence the better. Fairies probably held key information.
"Indeed has so relation to us..."
Others might get angry hearing this sentence, but the two Church core mbers calmly accepted it. Everyone had more or less guessed, so they discussed this matter alone.
Julius pondered then spoke: "The Intelligent Subspecies at the Fallen Zone's center were cultivated by Dark Fairies."
Guessed correctly!
Hearing this, Jin Ruochu and Tulip exchanged glances—right. Previously Hibiscus had revealed so-called Intelligent Subspecies eggs couldn't escape fairy connection, also ntioning the World Tree Realm was in split state—every family had difficult scriptures to recite.
Most direct evidence was fairy molts excavated from Crimson Tsunami ruins battlefield, and magic power nature clearly wasn't good material.
This thing had passed through Changfeng Group and Five-Color Narcissus research lab, handled by Doctor Joan—confirmable as so contaminated special fairy.
"...Seems you also knew so information."
Julius didn't dare underestimate the Salvation Church that repeatedly showed amazing intelligence capabilities. They had no "knowing or not knowing" difficulties—only "how much they knew" needed gradual revelation.
Ti Prophecy technique was really troubleso.
She frankly admitted: "In the World Tree Realm, one faction believes we should thoroughly delve into the Disaster Beast world to research them, borrowing their abilities to launch destruction plans while also seizing power to control monster armies. We had fierce ideological disagreents, arguing endlessly, finally leading to civil war. One main trunk of the World Tree was permanently broken, entering spaceti turbulence—still breeding Dark Fairies there."
"These years we've indeed captured so traces of their activities, but spatial traces always get erased... tracking has been very unsuccessful."
"Fairies don't intend to shirk responsibility. Coming to the human world to help is also responsibility—hope you understand."
"Yes, we'll provide compensation." Edwina continued echoing. "Like technique knowledge, intelligence sharing, Disaster Beast research intelligence, and of course most basic assistance to Magical Girls' actions."
By now they had to directly offer generous conditions.
The Salvation Church asking this had definitely been brewing for long. Organization core mbers were all shrewd—developing to now in the treacherous human world with both sches and strength.
This was maneuvering.
Straightforward Tulip unexpectedly brought up topics ensuring surprise attack, with affinity Manjusaka present—really had them figured out.
Even fairies living many years had to admire Magical Girls' interlocking negotiations—clearly fighting for benefits yet not giving oppressive feeling, still like spring breeze. Facing such super custom tree house, might as well be honest.
"My enemies are Dark Fairies—not worth escalating to beating everyone with one stick." Tulip shrugged.
"We deeply regret your experiences."
"Doesn't matter. I'm used to being alone—nothing to be sentintal about."
Jin Ruochu smiled: "The Church is a new family. We'll take care of Miss Tulip. Rest assured, we absolutely don't an to pursue anything—just want to understand more Dark Fairy information."
The two cooperated quite skillfully, appropriately ntioning experiences to sell so misery without going deep.
"Anyway, definitely be careful of those guys. So-called Intelligent Subspecies plans—fairies once intercepted fragnts, even arrogant enough to want replacing the human world." Julius said: "If monsters at the Fallen Zone Center scatter uncontrolled, they'll completely transform the environnt."
This was fact.
Fairy critical state had already raised world magic activity level by a big tier—let alone what if Intelligent Subspecies caused trouble? Consequences unimaginable.
Of course, regarding general trends, Planet Gaia would ultimately return to transcendent periods. The key was no one could withstand drastic short-term changes.
"Then we'll join hands to settle it—righteous group beating." Jin Ruochu was confident.
"With your current mostly Blooming Stage level, you might still lack sothing. Last ti Obsidian was already most basic Blooming Stage—easily losing to Miss Hyacinth purely because she was rather overpowered. Sands of Ti might not be called Sands of Ti in other eras, and no user nad Hibiscus existed—she's too gifted... Actually stronger Intelligent Subspecies definitely exist."
"...Then train harder. I also want to learn Origin Projection."
"We can teach."
"Really?" ntioning strengthening topics, Tulip was also energetic. "But many elental types tend toward Regalia elents."
"All possible. Except magic types where users themselves greatly influence, fairies know a little about other two elents—just guiding everyone isn't difficult. Rest assured, we'll definitely teach everything we know."
"Could there have been Fortune and Misfortune magic before? So you rember developnt cases." Jin Ruochu suddenly rembered Hibiscus often guided everyone's magic developnt.
"No—one magic has completely opposite expressions in different eras, let alone the user variable."
Fairies hoped to help the Salvation Church strengthen quickly, especially working toward highest cost-performance magic directions, but couldn't achieve it. The world had no two identical leaves, no two identical people—so magic definitely differed greatly.
Just couldn't control such great miracles.
The World Tree Realm possessed massive intelligence but didn't represent understanding magic principles.
In other words, they could at most guide to the Fruition Stage—because starting from the Withering Stage, three elents coupled and sublimated, becoming elusive.
Understood.
At this mont Jin Ruochu and Tulip both understood—so Hibiscus's magic guidance had nothing to do with fairies. Wasn't that more valuable?
Originally many guessed Hyacinth got so previous era, World Tree intelligence, even knowing all magic intelligence. Turns out you're purely naturally gifted—not only advancing yourself but bringing along an entire organization.
One step ahead called genius, two steps called extraordinary talent—what about three steps ahead while dragging the whole world forward? Anyway fairies had personally acknowledged her prowess.
"Let's stop here today." The pink-haired girl clapped. "Take the rest slowly."
"Also good—our people are tired too."
Julius commanded subordinates to cast magic arts, actually making this giant sequoia grow further—blooming thousands of flowers, fragrant and aromatic, petals falling like rain across the hillside. Many fairies played among them with laughter—obviously very satisfied with temporary residence. Clearly traveling far to help, yet having such good conditions was indeed worth celebrating.
Since it was originally a magic-catalyzed product retaining massive magic reactions, it delighted fairies physically and ntally—simply an excellent hotel.
Splash!
As they collectively cast coordinated techniques, the trunk actually grew house after house, looking quite fantastical and magnificent—also proving fairies quite liked the Salvation Church's prepared eting gift.
Seeing this, Tulip even eagerly wanted to climb the tree, but was held back by Jin Ruochu.
"Then we won't disturb first. See you tomorrow."
"You rest too."
As soon as she finished speaking, Julius's figure beca flowing light entering the canopy and disappearing. Both sides temporarily parted, and this place would also be preserved as fairy stationed area.
