Although he had all the ideas in mind before the carving began, when the work actually began, Ulysses's mind naturally calmed down.

The tiny carving knife seemed to have a life of its own in his hands, nimbly cutting away the excess parts of the wood. This was the first time Ulysses had used materials from faraway lands to make a doll, but it didn't feel rusty at all.

In order to resurrect Yuria, he had repeated a similar exercise countless times on ordinary wood. He didn't want to be an artist, everything he did was just to create "Alice".

At the end of that experiment to resurrect Julia, he touched the edge of the realm at the cost of his own life, but in the end he still didn't finish the real "Alice".

Even if it weren't for the cost of his life, he might not even be able to make a body that could hold the fragments of Yuria's soul.

To cherish your life and protect the people you like, Anne's tears woke him up in madness and pulled him back from the wrong path.

If it weren't for the Star Emissaries who gave him their precious breath of life, he would have died at that time, not only failing to resurrect Yuria, but also unable to protect his own life.

He can't choose death, even if he is not afraid of it, but there are still people who want him to continue to live and hope that he can be happy. Even if he can't give people happiness, there are many, many people who want him to be happy.

For the sake of those people, for the sake of Yuria's wishes, he must live. If he died, no one in the world would be able to do this.

The thoughts in my heart kept churning, but my hands were unusually stable, and in one knife after another, the silhouette of the girl by the pool slowly emerged.

...... "Ah......" saw the wood in Ulysses' hand gradually turning into a girl's appearance, and the girl with the gem couldn't help but make a sound.

However, the voice soon stopped abruptly, and it was the jewel girl herself who stopped it. In order not to disturb Ulysses, who was carving, she took the initiative to cover her mouth, for fear of disturbing Ulysses, who was creating with all her heart.

Not only her, but there were already dozens of jewel girls who stopped their steps, looking at the puppet girls beside Ulysses and the puppet girls that were slowly forming in Ulysses's hands with fascinated eyes.

At first, they were looking at the finished products, but when Ulysses began to take out the knife and carve out the puppet girl based on the girl by the pool, all the jewel girls were attracted to it.

How beautiful that is!

What a masterpiece!

As the only intelligent race in the Far Aways, the Jewel Maiden is perfect in both appearance and intelligence. However, they all have a flaw – they are unable to create works of art other than gemstones.

Because they themselves are the embodiment of the beauty of gemstones, they are undoubtedly the best race in the field of gemstones. Their names are all kinds of gems, the currencies they use are all kinds of gems, and they are all gems that are used to decorate the whole city.

But in addition to gemstones, all they can do is grow flowers, go to the forest to find cute animals, and other daily tasks. They are inherently lacking in creativity, and works of art other than gems are almost impossible to see in this far-flung land.

That's why they like the Central Boundary Tower so much, because the architectural style here is an ancient heritage of the outside world, and it is said that it is a landscape that has existed since the beginning of this world. If it weren't for the fact that the outer area here would only open every time the Gem Wars were opened, I believe there would be countless gem girls living here.

One can imagine how shocking and earth-shattering what Ulysses was doing at the moment for a distant land that was almost isolated from the rest of the world.

For the jewel girls who are watching Ulysses, it's like the door to a new world is opening before them.

They never imagined that someone could create such a moving work of art with just a few simple tools and the ubiquitous wood. Even when compared to the most beautiful gems in faraway lands, these spirited puppet maidens are no slouch.

And more importantly, it's a work of art that has never been seen in a faraway land. Heroes born in the Land of Steel will only carry their own treasures, and there are a few people who can become heroes of the Southern Land who can have such artistic expression.

Just as Ulysses was amazed when he saw the Rose Maiden, the puppet girl that Ulysses was creating in his hand at this moment was also shocked by the gem girls.

They felt that they were not looking at the carving, but at the birth of a new life. That small, spiritual life is becoming vivid little by little in the hands of Ulysses.

With ready-made objects to refer to, and the materials used were of the highest quality ever before, Ulysses carved more quickly than ever before.

The innocent beauty of the pool girl is being completely restored in the hands of Ulysses. I have to say that Ulysses's vision for choosing models is very accurate, among the many jewel girls in the square, the girl by the pool is not the most beautiful, nor the most charming, and the temperament has nothing to do with nobility and sacredness.

But there is a clear and soft beauty in her body, and she has a beauty that can easily move people's hearts even when her skirt is wet by the pool.

Her beauty does not belong to mature women, nor to young girls, but to the color of a girl in between, like the color of water that beats around her.

It was precisely because he captured the color of that moment that Ulysses decided to use her as the prototype of the puppet girl this time. Just as that time when he saw the intellectual beauty of Miss Hugo, he couldn't help but have the urge to create.

Carve out a basic prototype with a knife, erase excess edges and corners with silk threads, and cut out the final outline with scissors, all of which are done without the slightest mistake. In the hands of Ulysses, the puppet girl based on the girl by the pool is transforming step by step.

It only took about 10 minutes from the initial timber to the completion of the basic type. This is simply an impossible speed for such a high-quality puppet, and it may take many days for an average puppeteer to complete such a perfect carving.

And for the gem girls who watched the whole process, this is a thrilling ten minutes, and it is even more dreamlike ten minutes.

What did they see? Was it a dream?

Not long ago, it was just a boxy, ordinary piece of wood, and this kind of thing could be collected by going to the forest once. But in that person's hands, these ubiquitous pieces of wood gained life, and step by step they became dreamlike girlish postures.

Jewel Maidens are spiritual beings born in the sea of gems, and can freely transform into elve-like forms during the Gem Wars, protected from any harm by the power of distant lands.

Because of this, they are very sensitive to the breath of their kind, and they can clearly feel that in the hands of Ulysses, in the body of the puppet girl who was originally wooden, there is a "something" born.

It's something called "spirituality," and it's the opportunity for the object itself to generate a soul. Although the spirituality is still very weak, it is full of vitality, and the moment Ulysses completes the puppet girl, the puppet girl is no longer wood, but a living life.

Ulysses probably didn't know what this meant, but in the history of mankind, a work of such spirituality would possess all kinds of incredible powers over a long period of time, and it could almost be seen as the prototype of a treasure.

This is not the original treasure from the wind fish, but the crystallization of the combination of human artistic imagination and the laws of this world, which is the origin of the treasure that truly belongs to human beings themselves, and is the work of the power of the soul.

The Rose Maiden is the most outstanding work of this artwork, and the "Alice" that Ulysses wants to complete is the ultimate form that exists only in fantasy.

For the gem girl, who is a spiritual life in her own right, what Ulysses is doing at the moment is creating a new life, a new life with the same breath of a distant land as they are.

It was a new race, and even though there was only one member at the moment, all the Gem Maidens rejoiced in her birth.

Far away is a very beautiful place, where the seasons are like spring, where there is an endless supply of fruit and small animals that are not aggressive. There is no misfortune for the jewel girls living here, they have been living happily on this land, loyally believing in the goddess of the twins.

However, despite the fact that the Far Away Land is not small, the Jewel Maidens have felt lonely for a long time. Aside from the Gem War, which they don't know when, they barely see any other life.

That's why they are so keen on the gem war, and they will regard the strong in the gem war as their princess from the bottom of their hearts, admire them, yearn for them, and hope that they will become like them.

However, this never changed the day-to-day, as Ulysses began to change dramatically in an unintentional operation.

Because, in this world, a new spiritual life is born.

It's not an alien hero, it's not another form of the Jewel Maiden, it's a new, lifelike life with the breath of a distant land.

Although she is still very weak, although she has not been able to open her eyes yet, the puppet girl in the palm of Ulysses' hand at this moment is indeed a unique new life in the eyes of the jewel girls, the only new spiritual life that has appeared in this distant place after I don't know how long.
