White Neck's main task now is to look after the Elf Beans, because they are planted on Lake Island, and it requires anyone else to row for a hundred to two hundred kilometers to get there.
Arriving at Lake Island, the surrounding plants are already very lush, especially the wetlands by the shore, all of which Ange has reclaimed into paddy fields, planting Saline Demon Rice.
On the hillside of Lake Island, a low World Tree is thriving there, growing longer and wider, almost covering the hillside. The soil layer of Lake Island is quite shallow, to prevent the World Tree from being blown down, the tree top is often pruned to encourage horizontal growth and keep its height down.
Under the umbrella-like shade of the tree stand, five or six skeletons are gathered around a little seedling, holding sticks in their hands and warding off all kinds of small birds and ants to prevent the valuable seeds from being snatched away just after they've sprouted.
