Chapter 524 Three Days Later
-----
It has been three days since then, and we were already in the weekend. I had worked my hardest to help everybody in my territory both grow stronger and prosper. My daughter seemed to dislike how much I concentrated on helping the NPC, but she let me be, as she had been feeling the necessity to work even harder now that she knew I was Planta, though our interactions in-game are still a bit awkward, we\'re slowly melting the ice.
Anyways, I fully dedicated myself to help my subjects in their daily lives. Usually, citizens have sometimes problems they present, when they\'re a bit group with the same problem, a quest would usually pop up and I can complete it, they\'re problems such as needing more houses, an area to farm, or certain materials and items they cannot easily get.
Aside from completing these simple quests, I also slowly decided to complete Special Quests that only NPC whom I have high "Bond" Levels can have. As shown before, Titania had a quest named [Help Rebuild the Fairy Kingdom], Acorn had the [Help a Fellow Alchemist!] Quest, Nieve had the [The Frost-Bound Knightess Crest] Quest, and lastly, Florie had the [Help the Princess in Training] Quest.
The easiest one was Titania\'s Quest, her own kingdom territory was still somehow part of my own, so it was quite easy to help her rebuild things through the Territory Building System and my own magic and that of my friends, such as Lily, Mark, and Rita. In just two days, we rebuilt her walls, reinforced them, and also rebuilt her castle, while half of her city was already done, the other half was intact, but going through remodeling.
"Thanks a lot for helping me out, Planta, everyone! Your magic is truly miraculous! Not even I could had done so much progress like this! The castle looks so pretty now!" Titania thanked us happily back then.
Then, I processed to help Florie in her quest to become a proper "princess" though, the only thing I had to do is help her gain more confidence in her new position, as she had awakened the mark of the Fairy Princess, similar to the mark of the Fairy Queen, it was a special power bestowed to her that granted her new magic and a new responsibility.
This only took a day at most, as I simply had to give her advice and make her feel more proud and confident on herself, I also gave her tips and aid while dealing with people of the Kingdom, and Titania helped plenty in that as well.
"I-I still am trying to figure out my position and all, but thanks to you, I was able to somehow figure out how to use my magic to help others much better, thanks a lot, Lady Planta!" Florie hugged me back then.
I had simply showed her that even if she didn\'t had much experience, she could heal other people with her magic, and even taught her some alchemy to prepare potions for them, while instructing her how to use some Earth and Nature magic to help the rebuilding and remodeling of the Fairy City.
Moving on, the third quest was rather simple, it seemed that Nieve had been struggling with what to do now. It seems she felt shackled to her own responsibilities as Titania\'s knight, and the leader of the magic knights as well. However, she also had the personal desire of accompanying me in my journey, and becoming my loyal knightess and friend.
She was incapable of making a decision herself, and it seemed she was too shy to ask us out loud, so I simply crafted her a special "Knight Crest" using my own Spirit Wood and carved on it, gifting to her and personally asking her to become my Knight, because I knew that was what she truly wanted.
"Nieve, I\'ll need your strength from now on… I know that it is hard, but would you accept this crest to become my knight instead?" I asked. "I already spoke with Titania about this, and she was fine with you leaving her side to stay by my own."
"L-Lady Planta…" Nieve felt taken aback, flapping her wings backwards in surprise. "I-I… I\'ll accept this crest… I shall become your Knight! I\'ll give you all of my utmost loyalty, I will become your sword."
She was rather swift at agreeing, taking the crest out of my hands incredibly quickly and equipping it on her chest plate proudly… Ah, and aside from worrying about this, she has been mostly instructing the citizens with talent I had decided to train so they could become stronger. Using the [Magic Sword Training Order], she has been instructing and guiding a brand-new generation of magic swordsmen.
And lastly, I was just finishing Acorn\'s quest, which was helping him create and device a potion that could better help him control his Divine Bloodline and transform around much better.
FFRSSSHHH…!
The cauldron was boiling with ingredients, as we both employed our Alchemy Skills and Magic to enchant the preparation… However, something was still missing.
"Hmmm… I need something strong, something capable of holding energy, maybe even emotions, is there some sort of material that could do this?" Acorn sighed, feeling frustrated.
"Sigh… Maybe if we could find something highly magical, maybe spirit crystals- Ah, wait, I think I have the perfect item for that." I said with a smile, quickly taking out of my Inventory one of the few items I\'ve become capable of retrieving from Earth to Arcadia.
A Hollow Crystal.
Interestingly enough, Earth objects that I can bring to Arcadia are limited, and I wasn\'t even able to do it some time before, but it seems the stronger I grow in Earth, the more these Abilities develop.
For now, I am only limited to the Hollow Crystals and perhaps other smaller materials from monsters, but nothing more than that… I\'ll have to grow a bit stronger before I can transfer big things and vice versa.
"Huh? What is that item?" Wondered Acorn. "I\'ve never seen… Such a deeply contained crystallization of emotions, this crystal is an amazing vessel of energies!"
"I think this might help, let\'s add it as it is." I said with a smile.
"Alright…!" Acorn nodded. "[Item Synthesis]!"
FLAAASH!
