Soon after, Mu You followed the Tree-man and left the World Tree.
He originally wanted to look around in Emerald City, but the Tree-man followed him like a thief, popping up ’no passage’ text wherever he went.
As for setting up a teleportation array, don’t even think about it. ’Dark Transfer’ literally has the word ’dark’ in it and it belongs to the dark magic. Placing such a teleportation array under the World Tree, which represents life, is likely to get him beaten up by the elves.
Having nowhere to go, Mu You had to follow Little Ya back to her forest.
[You have left the ’Pea Breeder’s backpack and returned to the ’Pea Tribe’.]
’Pea Tribe’ is the name of the area Little Ya governs - it’s a name she came up with, and it’s been accepted by the system...
[You have released the Reconnaissance Beetle to gather information from the forest on your behalf. Investigating...]
After returning, Mu You temporarily had nothing to do. He didn’t want to waste energy wandering around in daylight, so he let out the beetle to gather some information and see if he could find a suitable place to plant trees.
When he was in the Star Spirit World, the beetle’s gathered information would be directly transmitted into his ears. However, in the game, it was different - the game character would automatically filter out the useful information and only pop up the text every few minutes to several tens of minutes.
[In Ovenduo Freshwater Lake of the neighboring Qingnang Tribe, it seems that there have been some special activities at night in the past few days...]
[A Knowledge Ancient Tree by the northern main road of the Pea Forest has recently exhibited strange symptoms and fell into sleep a few days ago. This may indicate something seriously wrong is going to happen...]
[The Wanderer Ranger Troop just returned yesterday. The formidable forest rangers have cleared up a group of bandits in the southern jungle, rescuing a number of compatriots and bringing back a large amount of spoils, which were distributed to the plundered tribe members...]
[According to the rumors in Emerald City, yesterday, three elderly elves who have passed away transformed into little elves, merged into three ancient trees and nurtured three new tree-man saplings. May the Elf God bless them with robust growth...]
[The ’Spindle Grandma’ Dolton the Weaver who lives in the western part of the tribe is seeking some Spiderweb Cotton. If you have any damaged clothes, you could go to her for mending and help her out at the same time...]
Mu You’s eyes brightened as he looked at the newly appeared text.
Spindle Grandma, this nickname implied that she’s an elf skilled in weaving. If she could mend clothes, could she also mend his fishing net?
"Little Ya, do you have a map of your forest?" Mu You looked towards Little Ya who was far out on the grass, shining the Evolution Light on her animals.
"A map? It’s in the notebook in my bag but I haven’t explored everywhere yet..." Little Ya replied. She was currently holding a wand in one hand and a silver-backed hairbrush in the other, grooming the animals beside her.
The animals were all lying comfortably on the grass enjoying the light, with Cola even being on its back, stomach exposed emitting loud snores.
In the nearby brook, a mermaid quietly popped her head out with her body half on the shore, with her eyes half-closed, she was comfortably enjoying the light.
Not wanting to disturb her, Mu You left the space, went downstairs and rummaged through her bag. He found the notebook she mentioned and opened it to take a look.
It was less of a map and more of a doodle. Only a couple of important locations were marked using crooked lines and texts, with a rather obscure concept of direction. Moreover, it didn’t even mark the four directional points.
Luckily, the game had already given him a hint earlier - the Spindle Grandma was to the west of the tribe.
Thereupon, Mu You referred to relative positioning of buildings marked on the map. In the game, he took a few steps and fully utilized the information brought by the retrospection. After spending four points of stamina, he eventually found Spindle Grandma’s residence.
[You have met the famous ’Spindle Grandma’ Dolton the Weaver in an old courtyard full of flowers in Elf Forest.]
[Spindle Grandma saw you and called you into the house from a distance: A strange young man? But I sense a familiar aura from you...]
Upon meeting this weaver, her first sentence left Mu You stunned.
Familiar aura...could she be referring to the Fool?
Is she an elf who despises the Fool?
If that’s the case, it might be a problem. His plan to mend the fishing net might fall through...
Fortunately, the next line of text from the game quelled his doubts.
[Spindle Grandma asked if you know an old man called ’Farmer’? When Farmer was young, he came to learn brewing in Elf Forest from an old elf and became friends with her. Now, she can sense the aura of her old friend from you.]
So she’s a friend of grandma...
Mu You let out a sigh of relief only now realizing that grandma too had come to Elf Forest in her youth.
[You pull out the Horn of Abundance to confirm your relationship with Old Farmer to her.]
[Spindle Grandma asks about the current situation of the Old Farmer. Do you tell the truth?]
Mu You hesitated here for a while. But after giving it some thought, he found nothing worth hiding. Since he couldn’t possibly hide the identity of Fool, he decided to just be frank.
[You didn’t hide anything and chose to tell her everything truthfully.]
[Spindle Grandma grieved over her old friend’s predicament, but your honesty also earned her respect.]
[It shows that the old friend truly considers you her grandson since she gave the Horn of Abundance to you. Regardless of your honesty or in the memory of her old friend, Spindle Grandma felt obliged to take care of you. So, she asked what you needed?]
