"Mother Gaia, huh?" Neft nodded, satisfied. "It rings quite well in the ears."
"Then, let’s form a contract." Nathan smiled. "Still, I won’t be able to tend the world tree myself, so I will have to ask other people to take care of it later, especially since I have to go to another continent. Now that I think about it, you guys will have to follow as well."
Neft nodded. "Don’t worry. The early phase is easy. Everyone can do it. As long as everything is set up properly, it will be able to grow just fine without us.
"Before that, we need to prepare the environnt. Ran, you are to gather the ashes and make sure the land is as fertile as possible.
"Silvania, you will set up a barrier to maintain the density of magical energy. Once the tree grows big enough, the tree itself will be the one maintaining it. However, pay attention to the ti’s acceleration as well.
"Luxia. You will control all the plants and make sure to set up the foundation of the world tree."
"Got it." The three nodded their heads.
"You..." Neft turned to Charlotte, whose eyes brightened after listening to the topic beco so big that it involved the world tree. She sighed. "I don’t mind if you want to observe or take notes, but make sure you don’t harm the environnt."
"No worries, no worries. I will just watch from a distance." Charlotte nodded furiously.
"Because this will be a big project, you should learn from Silvania, Alisha."
"Understood." Alisha nodded.
Neft then shifted her gaze to Vivian. "You are fine with it, right?"
"Of course." Neft didn’t forget to ask for Vivian’s permission at the end. Vivian, after all, was their summoner, so without her permission, the project couldn’t start.
"In that case, how about this? Since we need the ena to nurture the world tree, we can make a contract with the world by using our own ena as a part of the contract. In the end, we have to rely on the world, and the world hasn’t recognized the sapling as the world tree.
"But once the tree grows big enough, the world should recognize it as the world tree, and we can create a new contract for a mutual symbiosis between the world tree and the world? This way, we won’t have to pay any more Ena, which will lessen our burden in the future."
Neft nodded. "You are the expert. If you think that raising the value of the world tree sapling first before creating an appropriate contract is the right thing to do, then so be it."
"Still, we will require a lot of ena to create the magical vein." Nathan thought for a mont.
"For the ti being, one or two elite class alien cores should be enough. Even with so much ena, the tree won’t be able to absorb it at all. Most of the ena will probably go to the surrounding plants," explained Neft.
"An elite class alien, huh? Where could we find such a thing?" Nathan furrowed his eyebrows. "Should I ask Evelyn? She can probably acquire one, but another will be quite hard."
"Why don’t you ask Duke Coline?" suggested Vivian.
"Duke Coline? Ah!" Nathan rembered that Duke Coline took down the elite class alien from the sea. "But I don’t think I can ask such a thing. Duke Coline is closer to Flora and Count Ashton compared to . Can we replace it with several warrior class alien cores?"
Silvania shook her head. "No."
Ran explained, "By using only one or two cores as the foundation rather than many cores, the barrier will be much more solid and simple. Not only the barrier, but also the soil will be more focused."
"I see..." Nathan crossed his arms. "For now, I will ask Selena and Flora if they can acquire one."
Nathan couldn’t think of another person having such a core.
Nathan then ford a soul contract for the agreent between him and Neft first. He promised he would help her in growing the world tree, while Neft, in turn, would help him in acquiring materials and even growing magical herbs.
Once the agreent was signed by both parties, Vivian added, "Still, the place is the most important. Where are you planning to grow it? I’ve heard that this piece of land is quite fertile, but you will need to pick it carefully."
"That’s what I’m planning to do." Nathan raised his finger. "I want you to co with , Master."
"Oh!" Vivian nodded. "It will take a long ti, though. When are we leaving for another continent?"
"In about a month. But don’t worry, we have Evelyn. It won’t be hard to convince her." Nathan winked playfully.
"..." Vivian smiled wryly. She never thought her disciple could influence the senior she respected so much. In addition, Nathan called her by her na, while she, the junior, was his master.
"Let’s go together, Master. It will be better that way."
"Well... I guess I can’t reject this one."
"Hehehe." Nathan grinned.
...
A few minutes later.
Nathan and Vivian arrived at the Sleeping Garden headquarters. After the destruction of the Divine Hand, the mbers had nothing to do since their target was overseas.
Neyeid was the only one outside the base, as he had to take care of his rchant group. anwhile, Revon was training outside, probably punching the hill again from the rumbling sound that continuously echoed.
Christopher and Sonia were wandering around the mansion, growing quite restless since this was the first ti they had nothing to do.
Nathan and Vivian finally found Evelyn, who was chatting with Bella.
"Yo! I’ve co again." Nathan waved his hand with a smile on his face.
Evelyn usually had no expression on her face, but for a mont, her expression brightened after seeing Nathan.
On the other hand, Bella had a mischievous smile on her face. It looked like she had heard everything from Evelyn, but what Nathan didn’t expect was the extent of Bella’s teasing.
The mont she saw Vivian, Bella instantly stood up and walked to Evelyn before sobbing jokingly. "Look at this, Evelyn. Your student is a traitor. How could he leave alone? Do you know that our dear Evelyn has changed her na from Evelyn Lavender to Evelyn Reckmoon? You will notice the difference the mont you say those two nas.
"Evelyn has left behind. She is practically telling the world that she will marry your disciple or remain single if he doesn’t take her."
"..." Nathan’s face turned pale as Vivian’s expression darkened. Before it was Selena and the girls, but this ti it was his teacher.
