It's now day 66! So much stuff can happen over a short period of time... Well anyways, the bird men finally woke up early in the morning; I had the elves explain what had happened. The explanation went through clearly since they had their memory before fainting, but they needed time alone from the betrayal. It seems they're not questioning about what happened to Brian and the others, but I think they'll learn soon enough. Once the bird men went outside, they were surprised by the many camps and people sleeping. It's one thing telling them about it, but seeing it was another story... I think.

The bird men went back to their camp after thanking the elves for saving them... Time for a status check now! My body has grown to 210 feet and many more branches began to form. The vines hanging from my branches... still hadn't bloomed anything yet but there's no rush. The beanstalk is now 45 feet tall, by now I'm wondering if anything special will happen anymore. I had thought something might happen, but there was still nothing. Anyways, I inspected the carriages the new group brought since I had been too busy protecting the elves.

I'll be using the barrier again tonight just in case. The new group had earned some of my trust not attacking last night, but it might've been since they were too tired. Moving on, my vision reached the carriages at the bottom of the hill resting on the grass. Huh... they broke the meteor cubes. Looking at the fragments of the rocks, I gather them all up with my barrier magic. Sadly, there is still no telekinesis, the closest thing is using the wind but there's really no reason to use that unless I want something invisible. After all the fragments were gathered together, I merged them together back into smooth cubes.

With that done, I go back to the carriages and see no animals... instead, there were crystals attached to the rope. The carriages were pretty simple with a wooden frame, wheels, and a piece of cloth covering the top. It wasn't really that special so the crystal... I turn my vision all around then untie the rope to one crystal. I lift up the crystal with my barrier tapping it making the sound of tapping glass. Since it was attached to the carriage like a horse, then maybe it could pull the carriage... Maybe it's run by magic, thinking that I send magic into the crystal. When I did that, the crystal started glowing... a lot of things glow in this world...

Klik. The crystal skidded off my barrier and hovered above the ground, for some reason it started to shoot off changing directions rapidly. I create a large square barrier around it and made a soundproof space then watched the crystal. It won't break when hitting the barrier so I didn't need to worry and just watch. After a minute of observing, I thought... Couldn't this be just like magic where I use my thoughts? With that, I try to stop it and... It stopped. Well, this should've been a bit obvious... A crystal powered by magic should have the same principles with the control I guess? Hmm, to find out...

◄Hey, Barbra.►

[Yes master?]

◄Do you know anything about this crystal?►

I got a quick response from her so I went straight to the point.

[... I can't see it master. Wait a moment; I'll use the tree's memory...]

I went to the point too quickly. I waited while messing with the crystal; it seems it can also move up. After a few seconds, Barbra says...

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

[That is a magic crystal. It's something you can control when you put magic into it or store magic.]

So it can store magic too, I wonder how that works. Luckily Barbra was still explaining it.

[It seems master knows how to control it already, but to store magic you just think of storing it inside.]

Does everything related to magic depend on just thinking about it...? Probably is... Answering my own question, I ask Barbra another question.

◄Where did it come from?►

[I don't know how they got it, but your leaves are similar to it when you detach them.]

Okay, let's learn about the body... apparently, my leaves can do that... actually; the beanstalk could do that with its leaves. Well, since my questions are over, I try storing magic into the crystal then test it by moving it without sending magic. It worked so I drained all the magic inside of it for 12 minutes then tied it back to the carriage I took it from. I move back up the hill going towards my body so I could experiment with my leaves.

When I reached the top, I noticed that there are much more people awake from the camps. That included the five leader people who were sitting around a round table... a bird man and Stanford is also sitting there too. I was far above them so I could hear what they were saying, but they talked for a while then Stanford shakes all of their hands. He stands up and walks away... the bird man and the five leaders followed him. The direction they were going was towards my body.

Seems like I'll have to put the leaf testing on hold, I move my vision closer to them and tell Barbra to be prepared. They soon arrived right in front of the garden around me stopping there. Stanford suddenly bows down, the others were surprised from that then they followed after him and knelt down. I don't see a reason not to so I give Barbra the signal to go out. Using the dramatic appearance from the tree, Barbra asks them...

"What have you come for?"

Stanford raises his head while still bowing and says...

"Divine guardian, we have decided to create a single village."

Well... wasn't that going to happen anyways? I'm not sure how these sorts of things work so I had Barbra ask him.

"Explain what you mean by single."

"There will be no separate tribes, there will only be one. All of them had agreed to join the saplings as it is the divine tree's tribe."

So that's what that's what he meant. I take a look at the six people who agreed to do it... The bird man who is probably the new leader seems a little nervous but... looking at the five leaders dressed in black, they were shaking. They were calm earlier... was it because they're directly in front of us now? Well, people don't get over their fears immediately. Hearing them call Barbra a pact maker and saying they had bad tempers... those stories is probably the root of the problem... also my overwhelming size. Since I wanted to confirm with them, Barbra questioned...

"Are you ready to become master’s sapling?"

"Y-yes!"

Philip was the only one to say something; the other five were just giving nods. I thought the bird man wouldn't be as scared, but maybe he got caught up with the other four? I don't really enjoy making people fear me so Barbra said...

"Be at ease, master will not hurt you as long as you live here peacefully."

"Of c-course pact maker!"

"W-w-we will p-pact maker!"

This time only Philip and Drake replied respectively. This will take time... but they truly seem to not want to cause trouble. Stanford makes a correction to the two who just spoke.

"Please call her divine guardian from now on."

Anyways, after that, the talk finished with Barbra saying words of acceptance to them. She then returned back inside of me leaving a trail of light... that's new. Stanford walked away with the five who were relieved the moment Barbra left. I listened in on their conversation and it seemed that they didn't even plan out what was going to happen afterward, they had wanted to get my approval first. When I was wondering why it felt a bit fast, I asked Barbra to check the tree's memory. I would do it myself, but once I asked about it, there was rejection. It seems the five leaders met up talking about not splitting the land but instead combine it so they wanted to have the elves and bird men there. The reason was because they were in some kind of alliance, and they thought the peace would be broken if they split the land wrong...... Later that day, trees were being cut down then replaced by a seed, construction started.
