Based in the fairies we met, I thought that they were all nice and nature-loving, but Nieve and the other guards quickly told me that they were more organized than I thought!
As if it wasn't obvious, there were thousands of them, perhaps almost a hundred thousand, big enough of a population to build this tremendous city in the woods, which could even be said to be a small Kingdom governed by Titania, the Queen of Fairies, being careful about intruders was normal, especially because they held a special barrier that didn't let strangers get inside the nation without the permission of authorized fairies… this includes little Florie.
Her big sister, Nieve, reprimanded her as we walked inside the Kingdom, as I was able to get a better look at the entire thing, and it was… more advanced than I imagined. They even had tamed large bugs and other animals which they used as transportation, and a few hundred of these houses had special devices I had never seen before! Was this magic technology?!
There were large chimneys generating some pink gas into the atmosphere, and I could see that there were also giant golems made out of earth and other ores and reinforced with magic technology of some sort, working as guardians.
If we had opposed the fairies and somehow resisted and won, these giant golems, which were close to hundred, would had ended up easily beating us, especially because they were incredibly strong! By checking their level, I saw they were all over Level 30 or higher! W-What the heck is this?! What is Titania even making these things for? What sort of creature is this strong to need this much defense?
At the end we gave up and were sent inside their "prison" made inside a large and old tree that was mostly hollow inside. The entire tree could easily be shaped by my magic if I wanted, and honestly, it wouldn't be hard to escape if I wanted.
But I wanted a peaceful contact with the fairies, so I had to do this and wait for them to interrogate me, if possible, it would be nice if we could meet the Queen right away.
The three Mushrooms were classified as "too dangerous" and were sent to a deeper cage underground. I promised I would go pick them up later… Meanwhile, all my tamed beasts were also caged and put near me as they seemed to be calm as long as they were closer to me. The guards of the fairies were all young and cute, but they surely didn't acted childish as I expected, they were all overly serious.
Sigh… I've gotten myself into some serious trouble right now. Florie really convinced me these people was more… You know, lax? And now I am here! This is supposed to be a game! A-Am I playing some sort of event-
[The special effect of [Quest Helper] has activated, a Quest has been generated]
[The quest for [Class Change] and the Hidden Quest for [Subclass] have been merged together with this new Main Quest, a new Special Quest has been generated]
[The World moves as a fast pace, the Fairies doubt about your true intentions despite being a Dryad, if you don't want to live your entire life inside this prison, you'll have to talk to them and tell them the truth of your intentions! However, would that be enough?
Even more now when the forces of the Demon King of Miasma have noticed your existence, and the remnants of the past, revived through mysterious powers seem to be targeting the fairies… and you?!]
[Can you convince the fairies of your good intentions and help them resolve this issue before things get out of hand? The darkness of the Queen of Snakes is slowly spreading across the land of the fairies, and maybe there could even be a traitor among the innocent fairy folk! It is your duty as the spirit of this forest to protect it… and its inhabitants.]
[You must make haste, there is still hope!]
[The Special Quest [Save the Fairies and Defeat the Queen of the Snakes] has been generated]
[Do you desire to invite your [Heroes] to this [Special Quest]? A special invitation will be sent to their accounts] [Designed Heroes: [Player: Achlys], [Player: Titan], [NPC: Acorn], [NPC Group: Mushroom Brigade]
Eh?! A-A whole quest emerged! Is this more story mode in the game? And what's with this plot?! It is so thick it feels like I am reading a novel out of the sudden! So the fairies… might have a traitor?!
Is that the person that brought the contagious Curse to their land? And the Queen of the Snakes is behind this, just as I had suspected! Is she scheming something? I know that going all out as a wild monster didn't worked back then, so is she planning to destroy the fairies from the inside? Now that's nasty! I can't let her get away with this.
I have to quickly convince the fairies I am a good person and tell them I want to help them!
I do remember something that the Mushroom Brigade said back then… The Queen of Fairies, Titania, has the power to see through the hearts of people. If I find a meeting with her and ask her to see my heart and the honesty I hold, she'll probably believe me and the other fairies might do so as well! That's what I gotta do… but escaping might make things worse. Should I wait for them to bring me out?
Do I have to… wait the entire night? Ugh.
Well, should I ask for help? I can invite Rita and Mark, and even Acorn and the Mushroom Brigade… but I fear that they might only generate more ruckus than anything, those three mushrooms ended ruining things over rather than improving the situation after all… But right now, it is not as if I got many options.
I recklessly ended pressing "Yes".
[Quest Invitations] have been sent successfully]
And just after that, I saw the door of this room opening, as a group of three fairies came flying my way, led by Nieve, who was sitting over a smaller golem, as if it were some sort of mech! Wow, fairies are really something else in this world.
"Come with us, it is time for your interrogation." She said with a cold demeanor.
