It doesn't matter.
Ed tossed the crystal-clear amber in his hand and caught it again:
"Anyway, it's not me who's going to activate it."
The lich suddenly remembered the plan Ed had told her, and a look of worry appeared on her face:
Are you sure your plan is all right?
"Plant samples from the edge of the Sea of Flowers field have been collected, the Marquis's revival is just around the corner, and the Territory Secret Pact has been completed. I cannot imagine the possibility of the plan failing."
Willow nodded with some doubt, and just as she was about to leave, she turned back and instructed:
"If there's a problem with the Territory Secret Pact, you can always contact me to have it remade."
Ed suddenly laughed:
"What if there are no problems?"
"If nothing goes wrong..."
Willow tilted her head:
"Then let the Wilderness of Chaos be covered with green trees."
One day, at the edge of Sea of Flowers.
A Worker Bee is rolling around in a huge flower that is three or four meters in diameter, as usual.
Its body pressed down on clusters of flower stamens, sticking large amounts of yellow, powdery pollen onto the downy hairs on its body surface.
When the Worker Bee bee felt a noticeable weight, it tilted its body, causing the flower's center of gravity to shift.
It gracefully fell from the flower and landed back on the ground.
Alright, this collection is complete. Next, we need to return the pollen to the Hive.
Just as the Worker Bee was about to flap its wings and fly back to the Hive, its large compound eyes suddenly focused on the distance.
At the edge of my field of vision, a new Sea of Flowers appeared.
The Sea of Flowers there wasn't completely connected to the Sea of Flowers beneath my feet, but the types and styles of the flowers were exactly the same.
That's strange, were there flowers there before?
The Worker Bee fell into thought.
Unlike the Blood Corpse, in the Hive Mind, although the Queen Bee possesses Supreme will, the Worker Bee are not entirely incapable of assessing their surroundings.
After all, to better collect pollen and make honey, one naturally needs to know the location of various flowers.
The Worker Bee hesitated for a moment, then finally chose to fly to the Hive to complete its pollen collection mission.
Perhaps there really is Sea of Flowers in the distance?
But without the queen bee's will, which Worker Bee would dare to step outside the territory?
A day later, at the edge of the Sea of Flowers.
The Worker Bee poked its head out from the flower and saw that the Sea of Flowers in the distance had extended to the near. The bright flowers were reflected in its compound eyes, which consisted of tens of thousands of simple eyes. It was an indescribable temptation for the bee.
But temptation is just temptation; without the queen bee's decree, the area outside the Sea of Flowers will always remain a forbidden zone.
Another day passed, at the edge of the Sea of Flowers.
The Worker Bee looked at the flower that was so close to it.
It was absolutely certain that just yesterday this place was part of the wilderness, with countless oddly shaped rocks.
But today, that Sea of Flowers feels even closer to me!
If this continues, won't the two Sea of Flowers eventually become Sea of Flowers?
As if in response to his thoughts, a flower the size of a fist suddenly appeared on the surface of a creeping vine on the ground.
The flower began to grow rapidly immediately after being exposed to the sun, its petals opening and growing larger as it did so.
When the flower reached its maximum size, the two Sea of Flowers completely merged.
The Worker Bee ' thought process is very simple: the queen bee's command is not to step out of the Sea of Flowers without a reason, but now they have not stepped out, and instead the Sea of Flowers has spontaneously expanded.
Therefore, I did not disobey the queen bee's orders and remained within the Sea of Flowers field.
With that thought in mind, the Worker Bee took a step forward and arrived outside what had once been the boundary.
It felt no discomfort; the punishment for disobeying the queen bee's will did not Descent it.
What does this tell us?
This proves that his idea was correct!
The Worker Bee, having figured everything out, joyfully flapped their wings, drawing trails in the air that contained specific meanings.
The companions in the distance quickly received the signal and flew towards the Sea of Flowers that showed no signs of being harvested.
The Worker Bee that first discovered this Sea of Flowers have already flown to the largest and most vibrant flower in their field of vision, and have begun to burrow in and out of the flower's center, spreading countless pollen grains onto the downy hairs on their bodies.
However, this time it made an unexpected discovery.
A piece of amber, about half the size of a fist, appeared in the center of the flower. If the Worker Bee hadn't been pricked by it while rolling around and getting pollen, it probably would have missed this (not) rare gem.
The Worker Bee's simple logic prevented it from understanding the meaning of the gem, but as the queen bee's most loyal offspring, all it needed to do was hand it over.
Having obtained the desired result, the Worker Bee finally carried the gem to the Hive located in the very center of the Sea of Flowers.
More than ten hours later, a piece of amber that had passed rigorous inspection appeared before the queen bee.
Two not-so-strong insect legs clamped the amber and brought it to his face.
After handling it repeatedly, the queen bee infused it with her own Psionic Energy.
The powerful Psionic Energy flowed through the Territory Secret Pact, easily destroying the seal patterns that Willow had carved into it.
The Queen Bee's Psionic Energy combined with the spell left by Willow, and the Territory Secret Pact was fully activated.
A new territory appeared in the queen bee's mind almost as if it were a projection.
It was a small territory located to the northwest of the Sea of Flowers.
In the queen bee's current vision, the flowers had completely spread, bringing this unclaimed land into the Sea of Flowers.
As for why their Worker Bee would find wild Territory Secret Pact?
This was not within the queen bee's knowledge base.
Perhaps the previous owner of this land died long ago on the edge of his own territory?
Who knows? After all, in this world of Imbalance, nothing is impossible.
A bee with enormous fangs tapped its massive pincers, producing a dull thud.
The queen bee quickly understood what her offspring were trying to convey and responded by tapping her beak in return.
At the same time, a command has been transmitted to the mind of every bee that makes up the Hive Consciousness:
The Sea of Flowers has expanded, and new areas are now open for free harvesting.
Once the command was given, all the Worker Bee on standby suddenly had a common goal. They flapped their wings and flew into the sky, making a series of booming sounds as they flew into the distance.
A Worker Bee flew as far as it could, where the flowers were in good condition and there were no other bees nearby. It was confident that it would be able to complete its foraging task there that day.
After a while, the Worker Bee, laden with their harvest, were about to fly back to the Hive when they suddenly spotted a strange creature not far away.
Worker Bee's compound eyes cover half of its head, giving it a panoramic view like a 360-degree camera.
At that moment, right beside it, a pale-skinned humanoid creature was limping toward it.
