Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 118 A Sudden Interrumption



—–

The Fairy Queen, Titania. According to what the Mushroom Brigade had said, has existed since the past when the Hero that led them came to this forest seeking the aid of the fairies in defeating the Demon King. He wanted their power so he could be able to withstand the darkness spreading through the Old Lands. However, because this forest had a bad history with humans hunting their inhabitants, she disliked humans, but saw through the honest heart of the Hero, and ended deciding to give him three challenges. These were the three Monster Kings that were tormenting the Forest of Beginnings of the past. They were the Shadow Crow King, the Giant Walking Mushroom King, and the Ravenous Snake Queen.

The Mushroom Hero, accompanied by his valiant Mushroom Brigade slain the army of Miasmic Beasts and killed the three Kings through arduous hard work. The Queen then rewarded him with something… I don’t know what, they never said what it was. But she did recognize him and helped him in one way or the other. I had already voiced everything I could, and then, she finally decided to speak in my regards.

“I can feel the honesty and warmth within your heart, Planta. We have a grudge against Players due to that one man, however, and I cannot easily risk upsetting my people by easily accepting you as an ally. Nonetheless, you appear to be willing to aid us, and your abilities would be greatly appreciated… We are facing a difficult time, in all my years of life, I never thought that after the Fragmentation and the Rehashing, these evils of the world would somehow crawl back from the mud they were left resting…” She said with a serene and tranquil smile. She seemed to take into consideration many things. Despite her youthful appearance, she spoke slowly and wisely, like a grandma.

“Two had been defeated, but the strongest of them all, the Snake Queen, lurks behind us within the Dark Woods, near the Miasma Swamps. If you’re willing to aid us, could you lend us your strength in defeating this evil? I have already assumed it was also, most likely, the origin of this disease we are presenting… Even I, have fallen ill, and my power is being drained bit by bit… Cough…!”

Titania spoke with a gentle voice filled with serenity and authority, but she quickly coughed at the end, as she was given a handkerchief by a fairy assistant. I noticed a bit of blood painting the white color of the leather. The fairies quickly grew alarmed as they saw it as well, noticing something was wrong, they quickly asked her if she was alright.

“Queen Titania!”

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“Please, go back to your room to rest…!”

“No, I am alright… I have more stamina and vitality than all of you. Even if inflicted with this curse, I will probably be the last one to perish.” Sighed Queen Titania. “Planta, could you-”

As I was about to answer with a big “Yes”, the doors of the council opened wide, as dozens of armed fairies flew at a fast speed, alarmed about something that was happening outside. I quickly grew shocked, although I wanted Queen Titania to let me go free, something even more urgent was happening.

“Queen Titania, the Snakes!”

“Hundreds of Giant Venomous Snakes and their other subspecies, and even Miasmic Beasts have emerged from within the Dark Woods!”

“A battalion of dozens are currently assaulting our barriers!” 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒆𝒕

“What?! Again? These snakes never give up, don’t they?” Titania said angrily, as her butterfly wings spread out and released bright colors, she quickly stood up and flew outside with most of the council.

“We have to quickly gather the troops, perhaps we should also use the golems this time… We won’t give in to the Army of the Snake Queen!”

“Understood!”

“W-Wait! What about… me?” I sighed, as I saw most if not all the people leave, only Nieve was left alongside two other council members.

“Well, it appears that the council was interrupted, it would be better for you to go back to your cell until Queen Titania can rearrange this once more.” Said Nieve.

“W-What?! But she was asking me to help her! I can! I will help her!” I cried.

“As long as she doesn’t give the approval of your response it means nothing! Now don’t try to resist, or we’ll change our mind about what you said. Queen Titania trusted your heart, so you better behave until she’s not busy anymore. Perhaps tomorrow… I don’t know how big this snake army could be, but we’ll get through it. We don’t need the help of any outsiders anyways! Guards, bring her back to her cell!” Nieve proclaimed, as I was dragged back. I could had resisted and fought back, but I didn’t wanted to make a bad impression. And if I did something reckless, I would had simply made things worse.

I mean, I know this is a damn game but it is so realistic, and this quest seems very detailed and all… If I do something wrong, everything might be ruined. So at the end, I was once more back to my cell… Ugh. My monster pets and summons were at my side in their cages, mostly in silence. Maybe I could tell them to go assist the fairies, but that would only make more problems. Ugh, I wish I wasn’t so considerate.

“Ugh, Belle, what should I do? I don’t want to ruin this but I want to help them… Maybe if I help them they’ll know I have no bad intentions?” I wondered, looking at my goat who was imprisoned in a cage made of steel, she could easily break through it with her Horn Charge though.

“Meeeee!”

Belle enlightened me with words of advice, I didn’t understood them.

“You’re so cute… I bet you’re cheering for me, don’t you?” I giggled while petting her.

“This is quite the situation that you’ve dragged us in!”

Suddenly, the voice of someone I recognized resonated within the underground prison cells, as I saw a beautiful dark elf wearing black robes emerge holding some keys, I also noticed two unconsios fairies behind her…

“Eh! Rita?!”
