Cornflower Witch

Chapter 317 The Advancement of the Four Seasons Garden

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

Inside the room, Hilti bowed and, together with the members around her, saw off the important figures who had visited the garden.

After the other person left, she breathed a small sigh of relief and then sat down on the fabric sofa next to her.

Upon seeing this, the other two girls in the room covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Tia doesn't seem to enjoy dealing with these guests."

"Would you like some hot milk, Tia?" one of them asked the girl as they approached.

"Make me a cup, with a little bit of flower petals." The girl was a little afraid of the fishy smell, so she didn't like to drink plain milk.

"Okay." After saying that, the girl who took care of Xilutiya's daily life went out of the room to prepare.

The others gradually finished packing up their documents and belongings, and left the room one after another, saying goodbye to the girl sitting on the sofa.

After a while, the meeting room gradually quieted down.

Through the four large windows on the wall, you can look down at the sea of ​​flowers that is pure white and golden red. There are many students walking on the white stone walkway.

Leaning back on the sofa and closing her eyes to rest, Hilti unknowingly drifted into a nap. Her chest rose and fell slightly, and a few strands of hair bent under her collar, accentuating her perfectly curved jawline.

After the girl brought over the brewed flower and leaf milk tea, seeing that Hilti was asleep, she put the milk tea on the table for the time being and continued to stand in the room with her companion to guard the sleeping girl. One of them even thoughtfully drew the dark green curtains of the two windows to make Hilti, who was resting nearby, feel more at ease.

"Tiya has been exhausted lately," someone said softly.

"Ah."

“She’s actually younger than us, but she has so much more to take on.”

“Sometimes I’m amazed by her talent; she learns things very quickly. No wonder the big shots in the woodlands value her so much.”

"It is said that the Four Seasons Alliance is preparing to specially invite Tia to join and directly become the president of the 'Sun Garden' branch."

"The Holy White Knights have also extended an olive branch."

"The leader of the Ironwall Crown Furnace also extended an invitation to Tia."

"Master Zelarin of the White Scroll Herbal Pot also hopes that Tia will join their organization."

"Now Tia is a treasure that the Woodland Alliance is fighting over."

"I would fight for her too. Not only is she incredibly talented and has excellent organizational skills, but she's also so beautiful and cute. Anyone would like her."

The two women spoke very softly, but Tiya, who had been asleep for a while, had already woken up. Hearing their words, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, so she pretended to sleep for a little while longer and opened her eyes only after they stopped talking.

Siltia sat up, tidied her hair and clothes, and asked what time it was.

"How long did I sleep?" "Only twenty minutes, Tia."

"Phew, that's good." She then saw the flower and leaf milk tea she had made for herself, so she picked it up and took small sips.

"Thank you, it's delicious." The delicate fragrance of the flowers and leaves removed the fishy smell of the milk, making it palatable.

Holding her cup, Hiltiya went to the window, looked down at the crowds strolling through the sea of ​​flowers, slowly sipped her milk tea, and reflected on the past few days.

After she reported the trial maze and the flesh-and-blood monsters she encountered, it caused a huge uproar. Many people were surprised that there were still such things that had not been discovered, as well as the huge sea of ​​flowers left behind after the monsters were dealt with.

Regarding the strange phenomenon caused by the manifestation of the 'Witch of the Sunflower's' power, Hilti thought for a long time before finding a suitable explanation: it was caused by the effect of a treasure she obtained in the Trial Labyrinth.

This treasure is a one-time use item, possibly left behind by beings from another world during the Seventh Era - the Era of Erosion. She didn't know its power would be so great before using it.

This account is largely true, albeit quite bizarre.

After hearing her story, many high-level superhumans were skeptical. However, after examining the traces left in the sea of ​​flowers, they discovered that there was residual power close to the 'ninth rank', and gradually came to believe what Hilti said.

After all, even if she was lying, the fact that she could create a 'ninth-level' miracle is something that mortals cannot question.

Once the matter is settled, the discussion will focus on how to handle and clean up the mess.

Given the unique nature of this region and its high research value, the Forest Alliance immediately decided to establish a new base here and allocate a large amount of resources for its construction.

Therefore, in just a few months, a large number of craftsmen and personnel were mobilized to build various buildings and magic arrays to protect and isolate this place. Moreover, Hiltiya became the irreplaceable manager of this settlement and was granted more authority and responsibility.

Given the girl's exceptional talent and strength, many Woodland Alliance organizations wanted to recruit her, and several important figures even argued about it.

In order to quell the dispute and maintain balance, the Woodland Alliance decided to grant Hilti a special status, allowing her to join multiple organizations simultaneously, become a member, and inherit their legacy. However, her obligations as a member of these organizations would require special discussion.

Compared to ordinary members, she has been removed from many time-consuming and energy-intensive positions and complicated tasks, but she has also lost a lot of power. She can use the organization's resources normally, but in return, she must make an equivalent contribution to the organization.

This semi-official, foreign consultant-like status makes the Woodland Alliance a rare exception.

Well, this is a good thing, right? Now she can easily obtain the secret techniques for advancing to the next level of the gardener. Siltia's mood lightened slightly.

The core courtyard techniques of the Four Seasons Alliance can be further refined and improved after reaching the fourth tier. For example, the 'Spring Courtyard' can be upgraded to the 'Spring Rain Courtyard' to gain the ability of 'Spring Rain and Dew'. This is a special advancement of the 'Dew Prayer Technique', which can nourish plants and make them grow faster and better.

'Summer Garden' can be upgraded to 'Summer Flame Garden', gaining the ability 'Midsummer Flower Flame', which can transform 'Emerald Honey' type plants into 'Blazing Sun' type plants and turn them into blazing flames.

'Autumn Garden' can be upgraded to 'Autumn Breeze Garden', gaining the ability of 'Abundant Breeze'. This is a special advancement of 'Planting Technique', which can prune the plants, improve their quality, and gain a certain effect of manipulating airflow.

The 'Winter Garden' can be upgraded to the 'Winter Snow Garden', gaining the ability 'Tranquil Snowflakes', which can transform 'Emerald Honey' type plants into 'Hypnotic' type plants and gain the effect of food preservation, preventing items from rotting and spoiling, keeping them fresh for a long time, just like they were just picked.

Now that she has advanced to the fourth rank, she can start considering improving her core secret technique, and the materials and secret techniques needed to improve 'Autumn Garden' have recently been prepared.

However, before that, she should learn the magical abilities that a third-tier 'Emerald Honey' should have, otherwise, she would be too incompetent as a fourth-tier gardener.
