Chapter 1330: Visiting The Fey Wilds
-----
We entered the druid guild building and quickly realized several animals were following us, small rats and birds. Once we entered the building, they all started talking and transforming into people. Most of them were humans, but I also noticed some elves.
"Welcome back Lady Planta!"
"We saw you from afar, so we decided to join you."
"Have you come to see Granny Austucia?"
"Most likely."
Suddenly, the one that spoke at the end transformed into Johanna, she had become a little brown rat, it was surprising how small her presence was like this.
"So you’re back, I guess you came to check on everything?" she asked.
"Yeah!" I nodded. "Shall we talk more in the Realm?"
"Sure, let’s go then," she nodded with a smile.
We entered the portal with my friends. The druids sniffed everyone they had not seen before, this included Angelina’s party and Black Haze, which was the Queen, but her transformation was so good they couldn’t even recognize her scent.
We advanced across the druid’s village made out of wood and plants, surrounded by a mystical, spiritual forest. In the way to the tree in the middle, we found Austucia with other elders.
"Welcome back," she said. "So you’ve come at time it seems... There’s a bit we should talk with the elders, come along, Planta."
"Alright," I nodded.
We moved to the tree’s interior, where I decided to bring all my party anyways. Verdant was there, concentrating her energies for the big fight.
It seemed she also had to prepare a bit, she was sitting cross-legged, meditating and expanding her presence across the entire Realm.
In front of her, there were several elder druids as well, sitting around a wooden table, there were fruits and tea served for everyone to enjoy.
"Welcome," Verdant opened her eyes. "I’ve been waiting for you, Planta. Now that things are mostly set-up, I need to tell you how everything will work regarding my summoning into the mortal world."
"To think it can be possible to communicate between Realms this easily!"
"Well, with this we got that problem finally covered."
"It should go smoothly from here."
"Yeah, hopefully."
As I nodded by hearing their words, I quickly decided to talk about something else as well. Remembering those that ended dying trying to protect me, I didn’t want the same thing to happen to them...
"Aside from Lady Verdant’s help, I would prefer if every druid concentrated on the Formation, please," I said. "Leave the fight to us and your goddess. I don’t want anybody to risk their lives, alright? And please, don’t you ever dare go against Merlinus without a plan, you’ll die."
"B-But...!" Your journey continues at novelhall.Côm
"That’s..."
"Hm..."
They were a bit surprised by my harsh words, many of them seemed to have the intent to battle by our side, but that was not what I planned.
"...Very well," Lady Verdant said. "All of you are forbidden to confront the False Demon King without my permission. However, if you can, you’ll help fighting anything else he might throw at Planta’s army, with caution and in large groups. Never fight alone."
"Very well then..."
"Your words are the law, Lady Verdant."
"It shall be done as you’ve ordered!"
"Okay!"
It seems her words were indeed the law for them, as they agreed instantly.
Now, the only thing left is to grow stronger.
Time to use all these items!
