Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

The fairies looked at one another in surprise after hearing Katherine’s words, their appearances were mostly youthful, like children that weren’t older than eight years of age, there were mostly males, but there were a few girls.

Gardener Fairies were different than other fairies like Katherine, most of them had clear brown skin, pink or purple hair, and golden eyes, their beautiful wings were decorated with flower-shaped patterns and also resembled flower petals.

However, I really thought they would be more welcoming, but fairies seemed like reserved people, and didn’t welcome strangers that weren’t their own kind or from this realm, I see.

“It is not common for humans to touch our land; you know that Katherine?”

“Is it really fine to bring them here?”

“Honestly I am more surprised about how you brought them here…”

“I swear they’re good people! Can’t you see them? The Spirits of the World? Look.”

Katherine pointed at us one last time, as the fairies’ eyes widened… Ah, I see, this is a quick way to make them trust us more.

They noticed the thousands of spirits around us, especially those around me, and my Aura alone also expanded a Terrain, every step I gave to walk there spread nature everywhere, flowers sprouted, and more spirits emerged from them.

“Hello, sorry to bother you, I am Katherine’s current master, but I would consider we friends, rather than simply master and servant. My name is Elayne,” I said, acting humble and gentle.

“T-The spirits…!”

“How are they flocking so much around a human…?”

“She is no mere human, can’t you see?!”

“Is she a Druid then?”

“I notice a powerful Nature Soul, she must be a Druid but… she isn’t a human either, right?”

“She’s… a Dryad?!”

“No, I feel more than that, dragon power too?”

“I can feel it…! The Divine Spirit Power of Yggdrasil! She is… By the Gods we are very sorry for not welcoming you!”

The fairies immediately realized my position, as someone with such power and blessed by Yggdrasil, they immediately apologized for being unwelcoming and afraid at first.

“Ah please, don’t worry, I completely understand that you were a bit worried, I would have been too in your situation,” I said, trying to calm them down. “Let’s get along! I came here with my family and friends to visit Avalon, we entered through the Dream Plane entrance, through the Dream Spirit Tree.”

“T-The Dream Plane?! You visited such a dangerous and unstable dimension, lady Elayne?”

“Incredible! They’re warriors among warriors, heroes that can withstand the worst…”

“Are we witnessing another epic after so long since the last human visited our lands?”

“C-Calm down, it’s nothing that serious, we came here to… well, tour around and also ask our King if they could extend the contract I have with her,” Katherine explained.

“I see, so that was the purpose all along…!”

“It’s moving, really!”

“To think you would go to such lengths for a fairy friend… Lady Elayne, you’re welcome to our Atlas Flower Garden Village.”

The oldest of them, who seemed to have white hair and wrinkles, and a little beard, seemed to be some kind of elder with authority over the village.

“Thank you! Can I bring my family and friends as well?” I asked them.

“Yes, of course, of course, bring them along,” nodded the elder. “They seem deeply connected with nature as well… Wait! Do they have Nature Souls too?! …Incredible! They’re all Druids! Even though some of their elements might be from the Dark Spectrum…”

Looks like making those Nature Souls was the best thing we could have done in a while, everyone has one now, and I wonder if it has been growing a lot since then? Maybe that also explains why they’re so strong, aside from just physique, magic circle, or equipment.

“Everyone! We can go inside the village! Everything’s resolved.”

I walked towards my family and friends, and with our mounts, which surprised the fairies even more, we made our way to the Atlas Flower Garden Village.

While walking through the road, we saw the beautiful gardens they’ve been cultivating, countless flowers of all types nicely arranged into different blocks, it seemed they cultivated some for roots, others for their petals, some for their nectar, and others for the entire body.

“In here we mostly sustain ourselves from these flowers we cultivate,” explained the elder, who had gray hair, a beard, and an overall old-looking appearance.

Fairies were quite curious, they could remain youthful for all their life looking mostly like children, at most like young teens, like Nieve for example, who looks like a 13-year-old girl, and then out of the sudden once they reach super old age, like thousands of years old, they get wrinkly and become grandmas and grandpas, there’s usually no in-between.

“Is that so? It is a lovely place!” I said. “We just arrived here through the Giant Tree Forest…”

“T-The Forest? You didn’t find Owl Bears, right? They’ve been multiplying a whole lot lately, their population is becoming too large, it has become very dangerous to go there,” he said. “Even us fairies, which they usually wouldn’t hunt, are sometimes hunted because they’re really hungry all the time.”

“Oh my, that’s not good… we happened to hunt around six ourselves,” I said. “But we hurried up to not find more on our way.”

“Y-You hunted six Owl Bears?!”

“Amazing, you’re so strong!”

“I can’t believe it…”

Most of the fairies were amazed after they heard about our feats.

“We’re just Gardeners, we can’t do much other than plant flowers, we’ve not developed our magic that much, well, I have, I usually protect the village,” sighed the elder. “I am training some of the more talented children for magic… To be honest every fairy has affinity for magic and can learn a lot. All of us usually know over ten spells at the very least, but Owl Bears are resistant to magic, and their bodies are huge! We can at most escape most of the time, but if they catch us off guard… well, we’ve lost two gardeners already, and one child…”
