Vol 2 Chapter 191 The Advancement of the Four Seasons Garden

"Yes, thank you for your visit..."

Inside the room, Sylutia bowed and, along with the other members present, saw off the important personage who had visited the garden.

After the other party left, she quietly let out a sigh of relief and then sat down on the cloth sofa nearby.

Seeing this, the other two girls in the room covered their mouths with light giggles.

"Ya doesn't seem to like dealing with these kinds of guests."

"Would you like some warm milk, Ti Ya?" One of them walked over and asked the young lady.

"Please make me a cup, add a little floral leaf blend." The young lady was a bit afraid of the milky smell, so she didn't like drinking plain milk.

"Alright." After saying this, the girl who took care of Sylutia's daily life left the room to prepare it.

The others gradually finished tidying up various documents and items and left the room one after another, bidding farewell to the young lady sitting on the sofa.After a while, the meeting room gradually quieted down.

Through the four wide windows in the wall, one could overlook the pure white and gold-red flower sea below. On the white stone slab walkways, many visiting apprentices were strolling about.

Leaning back on the sofa with her eyes closed to rest, Sylutia unknowingly drifted into a light sleep, her chest rising and falling slightly. A few strands of hair were bent by her collar, accentuating her perfectly curved jawline.

The girl who had gone to prepare the floral leaf milk tea earlier returned with the brewed drink. Seeing Sylutia was asleep, she placed the milk tea on the table for the time being. She and her companion continued to stand in the room, guarding the sleeping young lady. One of them thoughtfully drew the dark green curtains on two of the windows, making it more peaceful for Sylutia resting on the side.

"These past few days have really tired Ya out," one person whispered.

"Mhm."

"She's actually younger than us, but the responsibilities she has to bear are countless times more."

"Sometimes I'm also amazed by her talent. She always learns things so quickly, no wonder the important figures of the Hidden Grove all value her so highly."

"I heard the Four Seasons Alliance is preparing to specially invite Ti Ya to join, directly making her the branch president of the 'Sunblaze Garden'."

"The Holy White Knight Order also extended an olive branch."

"The leader of the Ironwall Crown Furnace also sent an invitation to Ti Ya."

"Master Zelalin of the White Scroll Herb Jar also hopes Ya will join their organization."

"Now Ti Ya is a treasure everyone within the Hidden Grove Alliance is fighting over."

"If I were them, I'd fight over her too. Not only is her talent exceptional and her organizational skills good, she's also so pretty and cute. Anyone would like her."

The two spoke in very soft voices, but Ti Ya, who had slept for a bit, was already awake. Hearing their words, she felt a bit embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, so she pretended to sleep a little longer. She waited until their conversation paused before opening her eyes.

Sitting up, she tidied her hair and clothes a bit and asked for the time.

"How long did I sleep for?"

"Only twenty minutes, Ti Ya."

"Whew, that's good." At this moment, she saw the floral leaf milk tea prepared for her, so she picked it up and took small sips.

"Thank you, it's very good." The fresh fragrance of the floral leaves removed the milky smell, making it quite tasty.

Holding the cup, Sylutia walked to the window. Watching the crowd strolling in the flower sea below, she slowly drank her milk tea, recalling the events of this period.

After she reported the Trial Labyrinth and the flesh and blood monster she encountered, it caused a huge uproar. Many people were surprised that such things remained undiscovered, as well as the vast sea of flowers left behind after resolving the monster.

Regarding the wondrous spectacle caused by the Sorceress of the Blazing Sun Flower's 'authority' manifestation, Sylutia thought for a long time before finding a suitable explanation: that it was the effect of a treasure she obtained within the Trial Labyrinth.

This treasure was a one-time use item, possibly left behind by a life from another world during the Seventh Epoch - the Erosion Epoch. Before using it, she didn't know its power would be this great.

Most of this explanation could be said to be true, though it was quite fantastical.

After listening to her account, many high-tier Transcendents were half-convinced, half-doubting. However, they used some method to probe the traces remaining in the flower sea and discovered the lingering presence of power nearly at the 'Ninth Tier' level. Only then did they gradually believe Sylutia's story.

After all, even if she were lying, being able to create a 'Ninth Tier' miracle meant she was absolutely an existence that ordinary people couldn't question.

Once the matter was settled, the discussion turned to how to handle and manage the aftermath.

Considering this area was extremely special and possessed very high research value, the Hidden Grove Alliance immediately decided to establish a new garrison here and poured massive resources into its construction.

So, within just a few months, they gathered a large number of craftsmen and personnel, constructing various buildings and Magic Arrays to protect and isolate this place. And Sylutia, irreplaceably, became the manager of this garrison, granted more authority and responsibilities.

Considering this young lady's exceptional talent and strength, many organizations within the Hidden Grove Alliance wanted to recruit her. Because of this, several important figures even got into arguments.

To quell the arguments and maintain balance, the Hidden Grove Alliance finally decided to grant Sylutia a special status. She could simultaneously join multiple organizations, become a member, and receive their legacies. Regarding her obligations as an organizational member, they also needed special discussion.

Compared to ordinary members, many time and energy-consuming positions and complicated tasks were removed, but she also lost considerable authority because of it. She could normally utilize the organization's resources, but correspondingly, she also needed to make equivalent contributions to the organization.

This semi-official, foreign advisor-like status became a rare exception within the Hidden Grove Alliance.

Well, this is also a good thing, I guess. Now I can easily obtain the secret methods for the gardener's subsequent advancement. Sylutia's mood became slightly more cheerful.

Regarding the Four Seasons Alliance's core garden secret methods, after the Fourth Tier, one could further refine and enhance them. For example, 'Spring Garden' could be upgraded to 'Spring Rain Garden', gaining the 'Spring Rain Sweet Dew' ability. This was a special advancement of the Dew Prayer Method, capable of nourishing plants, allowing them to grow faster and better.

'Summer Garden' could be upgraded to 'Summer Flame Garden', gaining the 'Midsummer Flower Flame' ability. Its effect was to transform plants of the Verdant Nectar Aspect into the Blazing Sun Aspect and turn them into blazing flames.

'Autumn Garden' could be upgraded to 'Autumn Wind Garden', gaining the 'Bountiful Wind' ability. This was a special advancement of the Branch Grooming Method, capable of regulating a plant's condition, improving its quality, and granting a certain effect of manipulating airflow.

'Winter Garden' could be upgraded to 'Winter Snow Garden', gaining the 'Tranquil Snowflake' ability. This could transform plants of the Verdant Nectar Aspect into the Slumbering Winter Aspect and gain a food preservation effect, preventing items from rotting or spoiling, keeping them fresh for a long time, just as if they were freshly picked.

Now that she had advanced to the Fourth Tier, she could start considering upgrading her core secret methods. The materials and secret method required to upgrade 'Autumn Garden' had also been prepared recently.

But before that, she should still learn the spell abilities a Third Tier 'Verdant Nectar' practitioner should have. Otherwise, she, as a Fourth Tier gardener, would be somewhat too unqualified.
