The Star Worm fluttered back and forth, attempting to answer Char's question.
But the answer was obviously too complicated to be conveyed by mere flight, so even after the Star Worm fluttered about for a long time, Char still could not understand what it was trying to convey.
Fortunately, the site of the incident was not far away, so the revelation of the answer would not be delayed for too long.
After a while, the Star Worm came to a stop.
Char looked around and did not discover anything; just as he was about to inquire further, he saw the Star Worm lower its altitude and fly into a cluster of flowers.
The Florence Forest should have entered autumn by now. There were few flowering plants in the forest, and the autumn rain that had fallen two days before had withered countless flowers.
The flowers in front of him, though referred to as a flower cluster, were actually sparse, with only a few scattered blooms, all of which looked wilted from being battered by the wind and rain.
Just as Char bent over and was about to part the flowers, he heard a startled cry from the flower cluster.
"Ah!"
Since his crossing over, Char had not heard a human voice again. He hardly spoke a few words himself all day, so when he suddenly heard a human voice, he was startled.
He hurriedly parted the flowers and saw a petite humanoid creature lying there.
This creature had human facial features, a human torso, and human limbs; it was quite beautiful, resembling a miniature beauty.
The miniature beauty was wearing a pink petal-shaped dress, with two pink petals covering her chest, her skin was glowing white, she was dressed revealingly but it somehow made her look even more pure and innocent, she had two sets of fairy-like pale green wings on her back, and she was surrounded by starry twinkling dust, as if she had an aura of her own.
"You... you better not come closer, Tree-man Grandpa will not let you off..."
The miniature beauty's face was full of terror, and she tried to retreat backward while threatening Char to prevent him from approaching.
But her voice was so soft, and her tone so fragile, that coupled with her terrified expression, there was not the slightest bit of deterrence.
As the miniature beauty retreated, she struggled to fly, but her wings seemed to have been torn by something; despite her struggles, she could not take flight—if she truly could have flown, she would not have been discovered by Char just now.
Char's face was filled with joy, but his gaze was not focused on the miniature beauty herself, but rather on the panel that emerged from her.
[Flower Fairy]
[Skills]: Aromatic Healing (Cantrip), Butterfly Light Powder (Cantrip), Animal Companion (1st Level), Flowers in Full Bloom (1st Level), Natural Flourishing (1st Level)
[Challenge Level]: 1/4
[Introduction]: The Flower Fairy is one of the fairies nurtured by nature, transformed from fresh flowers. They possess a beautiful appearance just like the flowers they come from. They are delicate yet kind-hearted, love beauty and are talkative, sometimes fond of playing pranks. Each Flower Fairy has the ability to make flowers bloom, and whoever gains the favor of a Flower Fairy gains the recognition of nature.
Surprise!
A big surprise!
Char had not expected that the Star Worm's random frolicking nearby would lead him to a distressed Flower Fairy!
What is a Flower Fairy?
That's nature's darling! A sprite born from nature! It's a type of fairy!
Fairies are different from elves, even though they sound similar and their names can be confusing, but in fact, they are two completely different creatures.
Elves have pointed ears and beautiful human-like appearance. Their bodies are made of flesh and blood, and they bleed when injured.
Fairies, on the other hand, are spirits birthed by nature, mostly transformed from plants, and a few from other natural elements. They do not have a true flesh body and are more akin to entities solidified by spirit forces.
The Flower Fairy is one of the most common types of fairies. Having a Flower Fairy join his castle would be a wonderful addition.
Of course, Char was not concerned about the Flower Fairy's combat ability.
Fairies are synonymous with beauty, petiteness, and fragility, known for their generally weak combat capabilities.

The Flower Fairy before him had a Challenge Level of only 1/4, weaker than the Star Worm, hardly accounting for any combat ability.
What he valued was the Flower Fairy's abilities.
The Flower Fairy, truly a Spirit birthed by nature, one could tell from her panel just how much nature favored her.
This Flower Fairy named "Betty," although her Combat Level was only 1/4, possessed a total of five Skills! Moreover, three of them were Level 1 Skills!
She had the most Skills of all the Transcendent creatures Char had seen so far!
Creatures with much greater combat power like the Lantern Firefly and the Steel Teeth Boar only had two Skills each. Compared to the Flower Fairy, they were instantly reduced to dregs.
Who was the favorite child of nature, it was crystal clear at a glance.
Seeing the Flower Fairy scared, the Star Worm flew anxiously in front of her, eager to explain.
The Lantern Firefly was much more decisive than the Star Worm; it instantly drew the True Red Thorn, charged coldly at the Flower Fairy with the glowing red sword, aiming straight for her snow-white neck.
The Flower Fairy let out a piercing scream, suddenly bursting into a halo of faint rainbow light, from within the halo, countless rainbow dust particles faintly took the shape of butterflies...
Although most of the Flower Fairy's Skills were not combat Skills, this did not mean she had no combat ability at all.
"Butterfly Light Powder" was her combat Skill.
Strictly speaking, "animal companion" was also a combat Skill, but it was clear that this particular Flower Fairy's animal companion had either died in battle or she had lost contact with it; in any case, it was not by her side.
"Stop, Lantern Firefly!"
Char promptly called out to stop her, simultaneously feeling somewhat dumbfounded internally.
The Lantern Firefly was good in every way, but sometimes being too dedicated to its duties was not a good thing.
Like now, confronted by a "threat," before he even issued an order, it had already taken action, showing not the slightest intention of pity or mercy.
Although he believed that the Lantern Firefly would not deal a lethal blow, that this sword stroke was merely meant to control the Flower Fairy, it could easily lead to misunderstandings!
Seeing that he had stopped the Lantern Firefly, the butterfly light powder around the Flower Fairy did not disperse, still poised to strike.
In that instant, Char's mind raced.
As a game developer, particularly of games with a distinct fantasy orientation, he was naturally well-read in various fantasy legends and stories. At this moment, his mind was churning with information related to Flower Fairies.
He quickly formulated a plan.
"Flower Fairy! Rest assured! I will not hurt you, I am a Half-Elf."
The butterfly light powder around the Flower Fairy finally dispersed, and the rainbow halo also dimmed somewhat.
"Half-Elf?"
The despair and fear on the Flower Fairy's face dissipated a bit, her lake-blue eyes looking at Char with doubt and belief.
'I bet correctly!' Char silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Like this Flower Fairy, Natural Fairies were generally shy and secretive; they didn't like deceitful humans who would capture them to sell, nor did they favor the rude, ale-loving Dwarves, and had an extreme aversion to the ferocious and bloodthirsty Beastmen and Half-Beasts.
But toward certain races, fairies felt an affinity, such as the cheerful and optimistic Halflings and the nature-close Elves.
Especially Elves, fairies were naturally close to them, and the Elves also particularly cherished these favorites of nature.
Having half of an Elf's lineage, for the Flower Fairy, it was like being gifted "Silver Water," enough to gain her trust.
