Bringing Culture to a Different World-Novel

Chapter 208

Tylene placed down the reading script and did a stretch. The illumination of the setting sun came through the window outside the Noiseless Room and landed on the ends of Tylene’s hair.

Illuminated by sunlight, the frost elf’s long blonde hair gradually turned silvery white.

The colors of the frost elves’ hair were silvery white. The reason why Tylene’s hair was blonde was due to her escape. In order to allow for her to escape from those with gray mist and the frost elf’s territory, the forest that they’ve lived in for many generations, the elders of the Frost Elves used special magic to disguise Tylene as an ordinary forest elf.

As time passed, the magic the elders used to disguise Tylene’s race started to gradually weaken. Gradually, Tylene began to show special racial characters of the frost elves.

Back when Tylene was still following the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe, she would immediately use magic to restore her disguise the moment it showed signs of losing effectiveness.

Tylene remembers clearly what the Grand Elder that she respected greatly told her before his death — ‘Take the seed of the World Tree and escape this place! Do not reveal your identity to anyone! Else, those gray-mist people will find you! Go to the Blackwood Forest... and find a forest elf called Safran! He will offer you protection!’

“Grand Elder... I’m sorry... I didn’t seek out the forest elves’ help...”

The scene of her home being devoured by the gray mist flashed through Tylene’s head repeatedly. She was also recalling the look of hope in that elder’s eyes before his death.

The elven elders of the Frost Elves were most definitely hoping for her to find the Forest Elves and seek asylum under them. Then, with the help of the Forest Elves, she would germinate the seed of the World Tree within her.

Unfortunately... Tylene did not listen to her elders’ advice. Instead, she entrusted the World Tree and herself to a demon.

If her dead Frost Elf elders knew that she had sought asylum under a dangerous demon, they would most definitely fly into a rage...

But... Tylene did not regret her decision.

She gazed at the World Tree’s tender green leaves. Compared to when it just germinated, the current World Tree was approaching half a meter in height. From a tiny sapling, it had grown to the size of a mature bonsai tree. Its roots began to spread further and the amount of leaves also grew more numerous.

Ever since the Voice of Norland began broadcasting, Tylene was able to sense the ‘admiration’ coming from the people all over Norland everyday.

The emotion of ‘admiration’ served as the nourishment for the World Tree. Because of that, Tylene was able to see the World Tree growing up before her all the time.

The amount of nourishment was so vast, it was a quantity that Tylene would never be able to achieve through performing in the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe... Even if she was to go to the Forest Elves, Tylene would only be able to find a place to hide from those gray mist people and not a place where she would revive her race.

The World Tree’s current speed of growth allowed Tylene to see hope. She felt that the World Tree will once again grow up into an ancient tree that reached the sky in no time at all.

All of this was only possible with the help of a Chaos Demon, with the help from Joshua.

“Have I finished reading all the stories provided by Mister Joshua?”

Tylene flipped over the script and drew a leaf symbol on the last page. The symbol meant that the story was already shared to the listeners of the Voice of Norland.

“In other words, I can go seek out Mister Joshua for new stories.”

Tylene closed the script titled ‘One Thousand and One Nights.’ The stories in that script were provided to Tylene by Joshua one after another.

Before sharing them with the listeners of the Voice of Norland, Tylene would read over them many times... Every single story was so interesting that Tylene would forget about the passage of time.

Furthermore, after she shared the stories to the listeners of the Voice of Norland, a whole bunch of posts discussing the story will appear on the Mage Forum’s Voice of Norland sub-forum. Currently, the story most widely discussed was ‘Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.’

“Say, does the Magic Lamp really exist?”

Tylene suddenly asked the ‘World Tree’ lying on the table.

The World Tree did not answer Tylene. It seemed to sensed something as its branches suddenly curled up.

Tylene wanted to ask the World Tree what’s going on when she suddenly felt her heart palpitating.

The palpitation of her heart did not bring forth any pain. It just caused Tylene to feel slightly flustered.

Because of that, Tylene immediately ran out of the Noiseless Room, pushed open the windows and looked at the sky.

The moment she opened the window, the clamor of the commercial street reached Tylene’s ears. The flustered feeling she felt disappeared in an instant.

“Exactly... what happened?”

Tylene held her chest as she looked at the World Tree inside the Noiseless Room. It had returned to normal.

Ever since the World Tree started lodging in her body, her senses, strictly speaking, were connected with the World Tree. She was able to feel some of the tactile sensations the World Tree felt.

For example, the sensation when the World Tree’s leaves were being fondled by Joshua...

The heart palpitation Tylene felt this time came from the World Tree too.

“Is someone seeking out your help? Lord Enluci?”

Tylene walked back into the Noiseless Room to ask the World Tree. Unfortunately, the World Tree did not reply to her. It remained silent the entire time.

“Big sis Tylene, your dinner.”

At this moment, Ynor interrupted Tylene’s train of thoughts. He was carrying some fruits.

“Ynor! Wait... What’s with your outfit today?”

Ynor’s appearance caused Tylene to completely forget about the questions in her heart. Ever since joining the Hearthstone Tavern, Tylene gradually grew very close to this beautiful succubus.

The succubus had also invoked some of Tylene’s hidden passions. For example... dressing up the succubus in something pretty.

Right now, what Ynor was wearing was a standard male server’s attire. Evidently, it was not up to Tylene’s esthetics standards.

“Big sis Tylene, the skirt you gave me was too short. Wearing that, I received strange looks from the tavern’s drunken customers.”

Ynor took a step back. But, her step back was nowhere as fast as Tylene taking large strides toward him. Soon, Ynor was cornered to the wall.

“It’s for the tavern’s marketing. Ynor, you need to show endurance. According to my observation, many of the guests came here for you.”

“Wa...wait! Big sis Tylene, His Highness Joshua requested for you to see him in his study after you finished eating!”

Forced to dire straits, Ynor made his final struggle. The struggle worked exceptionally well.

“Mister Joshua?”

The not-at-all-graceful expression disappeared from Tylene’s face. She finally stopped approaching Ynor too.

“Mn... it’s most likely for the new script.”

Taking this opportunity, Ynor took several steps toward the stairs. He was prepared to escape at any moment.

Hearing ‘new script,’ Tylene reacted in a practically identical manner as the dark elf. Her pointy ears perked up like rabbits.

“I’ll go over right away!”

Tylene ignored the dinner Ynor brought her and ran downstairs. Seeing this, Ynor heaved a sigh of relief.
