Bringing Culture to a Different World - Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Chapter 250 – Misunderstanding

Under Ciri’s guidance, Gallolie continued her Minecraft adventure.

“Tylene, hide in the house and don’t come out… I will go and take care of the surrounding undeads.”

This young lady of noble birth was experiencing the feeling of being a ‘knight’ in the game. Holding an iron sword given to her by Ciri, she fought against the undead army of the night in close quarters combat.

…

But, the battle only continued for a short while when a message popped up in Gallolie’s line of sight. Seeing that message, she couldn’t help herself from stopping the operation of her character.

That message came from none other than her mother Madam Schroder. The message caused Gallolie’s hand to stop moving her originium crystal ‘mouse.’

If her mother found out that she was playing games so late at night, she would most definitely be punished.

But, Gallolie was currently deeply worried about her mother’s safety. As such, she immediately tapped open the message her mother sent her.

‘Gallolie, did you manage to successfully arrive at Norland?’

Seeing that message, Gallolie heaved a slight sigh of relief. That message meant that her mother was safe and had acquired some sort of method to connect with the World Tree.

When Gallolie was planning to type a reply to her mother, the sound of something being struck and someone in pain came from her ears.

It was the voice of her game character…

“Miss… Miss Gallolie, you’re surrounded by undeads!”

Through the window of the house, Tylene could see that Gallolie was in a crisis.

Even though Gallolie wanted to immediately reply to her mother, she didn’t want to have her character die. In a panic, she looked to Ciri who was seated next to her.

“Oh… I’m in the underground mine. I wouldn’t be able to help you. Ohh! A diamond ore!” Ciri replied without even bothering to raise her head.

Seeing Gallolie in a panic, Joshua pondered whether to tell her that she can escape by digging a hole and burying herself. But, Joshua had an even better way to solve this problem.

“Gallolie, I believe I have updated your messenger to the latest version. Isn’t there an audio input by the message box?” said Joshua.

“Audio? Audio… found it!”

Following Joshua’s instructions, Gallolie tapped the audio input. When she did that, a prompt stating ‘The other party is currently updating their messenger’ popped up. After a couple seconds, that popup disappeared and symbols that Gallolie didn’t understand appeared on her messenger.

At this moment, the World Tree inside Tylene’s body emerged from her body and extended a branch to Gallolie.

“Think of this like your interview in the Voice of Norland. However, your mother will be the only listener. Furthermore, your mother can also respond to you.”

Joshua had no idea whether or not there existed long-distance voice transmission magic in this world. But, communication that crosses a distance between two countries was something beyond the imagination of the mages.

“Mother… can you… hear my voice?”

Gallolie also cannot imagine such a thing. But, she still tried to use the branch of the World Tree to speak to her mother.

“Gallolie? I can hear your voice. Did you come to the court with your grandpa Ranke?”

Madam Schroder’s voice sounded in Gallolie’s ears. It seemed like Madam Schroder thought that she could hear her daughter’s voice because Gallolie was nearby.

After pondering for a moment, Gallolie explained, “Grandpa Ranke? No… mother, I’m still in Norland. Mister Joshua had used a special magic to allow me to communicate with you.”

“A new sort of magic… Mister Joshua once again created something unimaginable. Even the Norland’s great sages would not be able to transmit their voices through such a long distance.” After a brief shock, Madam Schroder began to ask about her daughter’s situation with concern, “Are you safe now that you’re in Norland and being protected by Mister Joshua and the Blackwood Elves?”

“Yes, of course…” Right after Gallolie said those words, she heard a scream from Tylene.

“Miss Gallolie! I heard an explosion! The house has been destroyed by a strange monster! Ahh… undeads! The undeads are rushing in!”

“What?”

Gallolie immediately controlled her character to rush back toward the house.

“Tylene, don’t fret, I’ll handle those undeads! Quickly, escape from here!”

Now that she has confirmed her mother’s safety, the greatest worry in Gallolie’s heart has been lifted. As such, she started playing Minecraft with an even better mood.

Unfortunately, she had forgotten that she was still in a voice call with her mother. The conversation between her and Tylene was completely captured by her mother’s ears.

“Undeads?! Gallolie… what’s going on? Why are you surrounded by undeads? Could it be a necromancer? Exactly who is attacking you…”

Being only able to confirm her daughter’s situation through voice, Madam Schroder immediately started imaging her daughter inside a house surrounded by rotting undeads.

That scene was enough to give Madam Schroder a deep fright.

And, what gave Madam Schroder an even greater scare was… it seemed like Gallolie was charging toward the undeads with weapons in hand!

That was a scene enough to give any mother a sudden heart attack. Fortunately, Madam Schroder was a steady and calm individual who has seen all sorts of crises. Because, she was barely able to maintain her calmness and started to seek out ways to help Gallolie.

“Ah… No, mother, that’s not it… Actually…” Gallolie immediately realized her mistake. Right when she was planning to say something to explain this misunderstanding, her character was struck by two arrows.

“Skeleton archers! Miss Gallolie, I have more apples here,” Tylene spoke in a frantic. Her voice caused Madam Schroder’s panic to increase once more.

“Gallolie, you’ve been struck by arrows? Who?! No one in Norland’s Necromancy Association would dare to provoke the van Donnells!” Evidently, Madam Schroder was in a rage.

Seeing how flustered the two girls were, Joshua knew that if he doesn’t step forth to explain things, Norland’s Necromancy Association might have to shoulder the blame.

“Madam Schroder, you might be misunderstanding something. Your daughter Gallolie is very safe.”

Joshua forced himself into the mother-daughter conversation.

“Mister Joshua? Mister Joshua, you’re next to Gallolie? Inform those necromancers for me, if they dare to…”

“Gallolie and her friend Tylene are currently playing a game,” said Joshua.

“A game surrounded by undeads?!” It seemed like Madam Schroder’s anger and panic was not that easily suppressed.

Joshua sighed. He found the camera and took a picture of the three girls and one elven priestess. Then, he sent the photo to Madam Schroder through the messenger.

“Do you understand the situation now?” asked Joshua.
