Chapter 623 A New Special Quest
-----
"I don\'t know more than this, I never dared to ask her any more than this, believing I would remind her of an old emotional wound. But perhaps, Queen Titania, in her ancientness, could know something more about these Ancient High Elves, if you truly want to find out about this, Lady Planta." King Dainn sighed.
"I don\'t know more than my father about mother either, she passed away when I was like a year old…" Brisingra sighed. "Now that I\'ve inherited her strength and this ring, I feel like I want to learn more about her past, about… the history of my family, the Ancient High Elves. Lady Planta, could it be possible for you to help us find out as well?"
Ding!
[A New [Special Quest] has been generated: [The Mystery Of The Ancient High Elves]
[King Dainn and Princess Brisingra both have the same goal, they desire to learn more about the mysterious Ancient High Elves. Mercedes was a mysterious yet quirky and good-hearted woman, and King Dainn deeply regrets never having asked her more about her past and origins. Wondering if in her ancient wisdom, the Fairy Queen could know something, both ask you if you could try to bring the topic with her.]
[Quest Clear Conditions: Ask Queen Titania of the Fairy Queendom about the Ancient High Elves and learn whatever she knows about them. If possible, bring either King Dainn or Princess Brisingra along.]
[Quest Clear Rewards: [More Chained Quests] [EXP] [Gold] [Brisingra and Dainn Trust Level+]
Wait, what? A new Quest?!
I guess there\'s no point in not accepting it!
"Very well." I nodded. "I was already planning to ask her. How about I bring either of the two along? Queen Titania might be intimidating at first, but she\'s a surprisingly sweet and gentle person. If we can bring any of the two to explain what happened to Freyja, I\'m sure she\'ll understand much better too."
Dainn and Brisingra glanced at one another for a few seconds, but quickly nodded, finding out my idea to be quite good.
"Alright, Brisingra will be going. I can\'t leave my Kingdom and leave everything to her! The Barrier\'s already working properly again too thanks to Richard and Acorn\'s efforts on repairing the items that kept the barrier working." Dainn said. "So, how about going on a small trip there, Brisingra?"
"E-Eh? Me?" Brisingra muttered. "I-I… Well… Okay! I\'ll go as well, if that\'s what you want, father. And well… I would gladly go somewhere else! Honestly I was getting bored of being stuck in here."
"I-I didn\'t asked you to be THAT honest!" King Dainn sighed. "But alright! Now that we\'ve got that done with, let\'s celebrate, everyone! Let\'s eat as much as we can before you all depart!"
While having our feast, Rita and Jenny finally joined us midway through, and enjoyed the meals before we all departed. Through the usage of the Spiritual Tree Checkpoint I placed here, we instantly teleported back to the Forest of Beginnings, which had been rather peaceful since we left, thanks to all the defenses we left behind, such as a huge wall, a watchtower, and a castle with buffing effects.
FLAAAASH!
We quickly teleported in front of my "true body", the young Yggdrasil Sprout that was in here. Talking about that, my Heart of the Forest was now Level 4, no new Ability was acquired, but all the existing Abilities became much stronger, seems like it can level up whenever I evolve, most likely.
"W-Woooahh… I\'ve never… seen such a beautiful place before!" Brisingra who through her entire life had never stepped out of her mountain, was shocked. "So much greenery… So this is a forest, isn\'t it? So vibrant, so colorful!"
She started glancing everywhere and inspecting every nook and cranny of the forest, things we all saw as ordinary and that we had grown used to were amazing for her.
"Hahaha, looks like the little princess never stepped out of her castle, huh?" Laughed Rita. "This is a forest! Everyone knows what it is. Do dwarves never walk out of their mountains?"
"T-That\'s…" Brisingra blushed a bit in embarrassment.
"Come on Rita don\'t be so cruel." I sighed. "It\'s fine dear, I\'m glad you\'re enjoying the scenery, but we\'re quite busy. Let\'s go to the Fairy Queendom, Queen Titania must be waiting for us over there."
"O-Oh, right!" Brisingra quickly ran to our side.
"Hah~ Your territory is sure fancy looking! And so big! Are you telling me you guys own all of this as your Guild Territory? It\'s insane…" Jenny said. "C-Can I join your guild?"
"Sure." Mark nodded. "You\'ve helped a lot and earned the privilege, Jenny."
"Uwaaah! I didn\'t thought it would be THAT easy to join a guild, bwahahaha!" Jenny started laughing evilly.
"She seems quite excited, but nothing too amazing has happened regarding our guild yet." Lily said. "Well, that might change in the future though."
"More importantly, we\'ve arrived." I pointed into the distance, as a huge City emerged from within the trees, beautifully surrounded by trees and walls, and also there was a large waterfall in front of it, camouflaging the entire city from the common eyes. "Hello! It is me! I\'m back!"
"Lady Planta?!"
"It\'s really her!"
"Open the gates!"
Several small fairies appeared from above, as enormous gates opened beneath the waterfall, Brisingra opened her mouth wide open in shock and awe over the entire infrastructure and mechanism.
"I-Incredible, to have this city so well hidden!" She said. "And- Woah…! So many fairies! And this city…! T-There are golems too! And the fairies use… huge bugs as carriage?!"
"Welcome to my city, Princess Brisingra." Nieve smiled. "This is our beautiful and small country, which we\'ve built ever since our kin was born from the flowers of Yggdrasil long ago. We\'ve been nurtured by our Queen until reaching this level of civilization."
"I-Incredible…" Brisingra was amazed as she walked through the streets. The fairies all greeted us happily, some curious about the mysterious half dwarf and half elf girl.
"Queen Titania! I\'m finally back!" I said, entering the castle as the guards let us in.
"Planta?! You\'re finally back!" Titania happily flew to my side, hugging me tightly and even kissing my forehead. "I missed you, my dear friend!"
"A-Ahahahah! I missed you too, Queen Titania." I giggled. "I\'ve brought a special guest from the Dwarven Kingdom."
"A special… guest?" She wondered.
