Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
Chapter 842 Mysterious Visitors And A Strange IdolChapter 842 Mysterious Visitors And A Strange Idol
-----
Florie brought some interesting news, apparently, some people had trespassed the forest out of nowhere, literally spawning inside and then disappearing not long after.
"Did you see how they looked like?" I asked her.
"T-They seemed human-like…" Florie said, while munching on a big cookie. "But they weren't physical, more like ghosts made of spirit energy. They were amazed of the forest's beauty and were too timid to approach us for some reason! They left behind this weird thingy."
Florie handled to me a small figurine or statue made out of wood, in the shape of those ancient fertility symbols from archaic cultures on Earth.
It had wide hips, enormous breasts, long hair, and dragon-like tail and wings, with scales and sharp claws… I didn't want to admit it, but it looked like my Draconification form, but very exaggerated in proportions.
lightsnοvεl "W-What in the world is this thing?" I tried to analyze the statue.

[Idol of the Divine Yggdragon Mother (??? Grade)]
An item created by otherworldly lifeforms that has been shaped after their Goddess and Idol.
It might seem like they were praying to this figure, which they call the Yggdragon Mother.
Usually, Idols like these are made by Druids or other Nature-loving cults.
This Idol has been imbued with their affection, faith, and magic, making it a mildly strong artifact.
Has the special effect of slightly increasing the growth speed of your Domain by +20% when placed inside of it.

"Wait, what the hell?" I couldn't help but react in the only way I could right now…
"W-What is it?" Mark asked me in disbelief.
"This is an Idol made by people from Earth, which somehow entered the Forest of Beginnings and… just left this." I said. "And Druids, no less."
"There are Druids in our world?!" Rita wondered, feeling as surprised. "No way…"
"Well, if there are Demons, Angels, Magicians and Vampires, I wouldn't really doubt the existence of Druids there as well…" I sighed. "But still, its weird. According to the description, there might be Druids close to my Domain, worshipping me as their Goddess or something. I-I don't know how to feel. I feel disgusted and at the same time flattered, wow, this is a very weird feeling."
"So they're like stalkers?" Mark got slightly mad. "Perhaps we should find them and tell them to fuck off if they're creeping you out."
"W-Well… I would gladly do that, but I would feel a bit bad too. Maybe they don't have bad intentions?" I wondered. "If they're worshiping me and respecting my boundaries- But then again, they somehow got inside of the Forest of Beginnings, they could be a bit dangerous."
"Druids in the World where Players come from…" Austucia muttered. "Interesting, and they seem to be worshiping you? Even more amusing. Perhaps you could use their help you grow stronger. After all, the faith and magic we possess is transferred to the figure we worship. Lady Verdant has grown so strong thanks to us too, not just her own natural growth."
"You're being worshiped as a goddess?!" Johanna was even more shocked. "W-What in the world…"
"It's weird, I know." I giggled slightly. "I guess I'll let them be for now. If they ever try anything bad, I'll find them and kick them out."
"I suppose that's the best course of action at the end." Mark agreed. "I'm still worried though… Tell the Fey serving you to not let them get close to your home at least. It's a bit creepy if they're always watching us."
"Yeah, I'll tell them that." I nodded, saving the Idol inside my Inventory.
That Idol was still a strong artifact I could use to accelerate my Domain's growth, so it does have its uses. I appreciate the gift, I suppose.
Though, it is interesting too, if they really managed to temporarily step into Arcadia, it means that the people from Earth could naturally discover this world one way of another.
And I can't do much to stop them from doing so… I just hope we don't get invasions from Earth's Military or something, that would be a bit too much.
With our SWORD connection, I guess I can learn a bit of that, but for now, it still seems like they have little idea about Arcadia for now.
The Druids are probably a separate and secret society of their own, so I don't think they will divulge any information, even less if they're crazily faithful worshipers.
"Lady Planta, I've gathered everyone you requested." Sporegon entered the throne room. "May I invite them to the throne room?"
"Sure, bring them all along." I nodded.
"Very well" Sporegon swiftly opened the gates, letting in dozens of people.
From Gnomes, to Brownies, Fairies, and Myconid, there were a few members of the Mushroom Brigade in here too.
"Lady Planta! It is good to see you again!" Hammer, one of the Mushroom Brigade members that was an expert Blacksmith, spoke. "Is there something you need from us? I've gathered all the Crafstmen, blacksmith, and alchemist we had, even the newbies could be of some help."
"Yes, there's a few things I need to explain first, but I'll make it quick." I nodded.
I explained them about Hephaestus Inheritance, the Divine Smithy, the Spirit in there, and the Trial mission I needed to complete.
To go to the point, I was asking them to help me do this while I was busy elsewhere. I'll leave, of course, one of my Avatars working with them.
This way I don't have to force my friends to help me do this all the time, and we can concentrate in doing more important things as well.
They all agreed without even rejecting my offer. I offered them good payment with gold and any materials they would want from me.
Even the newbie blacksmith and craftsman could be of some use, helping alleviate the entire process by doing it by steps, to the point even novices can aid in certain very basic things.
"Very well, we're ready any time! It would be an honor to gaze upon the Divine Smithy of God Hephaestus!" Hammer was very excited.
"Then we're going back!" I nodded, quickly walking to the tree again and bringing with ourselves a whole team.
