Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 148 Meeting Queen Titania



-----

From what Acorn has told me, Elixirs are apparently one of the pinnacles of Alchemy. They're special potions that go beyond simply healing and have incredible magical potential that can even surpass curses and strong once thought to be uncurable diseases. There are various Elixir-type Potions, and they all need ridiculously big quantities of items. The list Acorn gave them was the most he could shorten it, but it still required roughly 29 different ingredients. He brought his own ingredients and was able to secure half of the ingredients, and it seems that the fairies have the rest.

A few minutes after the conference, we all gathered in the enormous storage building of the city, as various fairies were carrying large bags filled with herbs and bottles with extracts of many types of oils. There was a gigantic amount of ingredients to do all sorts of Alchemy here! There's even a small Alchemy Guild here, which probably all these ingredients belong to.

The Gray-haired fairy woman with beautiful yellow eyes was in fact the Guild Master of the Alchemy Guild, and this was why she was in the conference, as she was a very important figure, and one of the best alchemists and apothecaries of the city.

However, even she who have lived for over three hundred years was shocked by Acorn's incredible talent and sharpness.

"With this, I think I could make it!" Said Acorn.

He was now standing in front of an enormous pile of herbs and also lined up bottles filled with different oil extracts. There were six other Alchemists from the Alchemist Guild which the Guild Master has brought here to aid him. They were just as skeptical of him because he was a Squirrel-kin, which somehow they associate with "dumb demi-humans", but he proved them all wrong when he told them the specifics, and how detailed everything was within his recipe and plans.

"I am left speechless, this recipe looked so rough at first hand, but its process is very simplistic yet incredibly detailed! You've managed to increase the chance of a Super Success in the Alchemic Process through lengthening the recipe and making each step less complicated but that in exchange takes some more time." Said one of the Alchemists, a green haired fairy boy.

"It might take several hours, but this is… Quite possible! I can see it… the ingredients melding together. The oils reacting to one another. You're a genius to be able to devise such a thing so easily! Did you said you came out with this recipe in the middle of battle?" Asked a blue-haired fairy Alchemist girl.

"Hahah… Y-Yeah, it is nothing that big. I've refined it while we were walking back here and added some more details." Said Acorn. "I am still a newbie so I hope all of you can help me out!" Acorn said adorably, the fairies all felt his humbleness and thought of him as a great (and adorable) young man.

"S-Sure! Count on me!"

"We'll assist you as much as we can."

"If we all work together, I am sure that we can do it, Acorn!"

"Fufu, it seems that they all are convinced by now." The Guild Master said. "For the moment, Acorn, you'll stay with us. All of you lot should rest for now. Ah right, the Queen has called you to her room, Planta, Nieve."

"Eh? Me?!" I asked. I was already beginning to imagine sleeping in my bed and then I am called by the Queen!

"M-Me too? But I have done nothing worthy!" Said Nieve. "Wait… maybe she wants to reprimand me…"

"Nonetheless, the other officers are there as well, they're gathering clues about the traitor, so if you can help them out as well, it would be appreciated." The old lady said.

"Okay, thanks!" I said. "Acorn, after this we'll go to sleep and we'll be back in some hours, so take care of things while we are off, alright? I'll leave the Mushroom Brigade here and my monsters to take care of things."

"Sure thing, Lady Planta, have a good night! We Squirrel-kin are nocturnal species, and also we can stay awake for four days in a row!" Acorn said. His species seemed capable of staying awake for long periods of time, so I guess not sleeping wasn't an issue for him.

"Okay then, take care." I said. Achlys and Titan also said their goodbyes to Acorn, as they decided to accompany me to see the Queen out of sheer curiosity, although both of them were yawning a lot already.

"Oh man, I am sleepy…" Sighed Achlys.

"Let's log off after the queen's talk." Said Titan.

"I agree…" I sighed.

When we reached the door to the room of the Queen, we were greeted by like five guards. They all let us step inside her beautifully decorated room, completely filled with plants and flowers everywhere. She lacked most material things and loved to just fill her room with all sorts of flowers and plants. Her own bed was mostly made from a living tree spreading its roots around.

Entering the room, we found her sitting in her bed. She seemed to have gotten slightly worse before the snake's attack, as she had coughed blood a bit.

"Ah, Planta and her friends, welcome…" She said with a sick and weak voice. She looked so lustrous, divine, and beautiful before, but now she showed us her most frail appearance, sickly, and looking very tired.

"Queen Titania…" I said while holding her hand and using magic to appease her pain.

"Ah, you're such a lovely child. But there is no need for healing. I've healed myself plenty of times… This curse has reached the stage where it cannot be easily stopped with healing magic, sadly…" She sighed. "But more importantly, I've called you here to personally thank you for saving my small nation from its demise… If I wasn't bedridden, I would had helped you defeat these monsters, but as you can see, I can barely walk now…"
