Opening her verdant eyes, the Dryad Queen give me a sharp look.
"The one who has devoured the 8 Emperors, what business do you have in my forest?"
"Master…!"
"Guuu!"
"I… Uhh… (Guooohoohoho! She is totally a babe! Is this world full of beautiful monster girls like this?)"
Noticing my lack of speech, the Dryad Queen feared the worst.
"Have you come to eat me and enslave my people? Is that right?"
"I… No! You are wrong! Please listen to me!"
Seeing how I pathetically tried to calm her down, the Dryad Queen looked me with disgust.
"Uuh? Are you really the one who devoured 8 Emperors?"
"It is true! It's true! Please listen to me…!"
The Dryad Queen sighed, changing her personality instantly!
"Sigh… So what do you want then, stupid bug? I was taking the best nap and your pets came here and started to lick and touch me out of nowhere, what the fuck is wrong with you?"
"Gaaahh! Such a contrast in personality! Where is the almighty and serious behavior from just seconds ago…?"
Nesiphae noticed my discomfort and tried to talk with the Dryad Queen on my place.
"Ahem…! I am Nesiphae, the Queen of the Dark Forest… I recently joined forces with Master Kireina, and thanks to his blessings, I was able to walk outside my swamp. I must apologize for his behavior; he has a hard time dealing with beautiful women like us… Fufufu… Anyways, my master means no harm to you; he has merely came here looking for an important magic stone needed for someone in his community…"
Seeing such polite behavior coming from Nesiphae, the Dryad Queen calmed down.
"Hmm, so what Magic Stone are you looking for?"
"(Such beautiful and majestic body…) …Ah! Yes… Uhh, Verdant Rose Sapphire… Do you have some?"
"Verdant Rose Sapphire… these Magic Stones are extremely valuable for us Dryads, as they can easily nourish our roots, and increase the speed of new saplings growing… You will need to exchange them for something of almost equal value…"
"Eehh? I never thought they would be so essential for you… Do you have something in interest that you desire? Perhaps another type of stone or food?"
"Aside from the Verdant Rose Sapphire, we Dryads do not need any other Magic Stone or food…"
"Uuhh… Then I am out of ideas…"
"You are recognized by the entire forest as a formidable being that was able to slay 8 Emperors and even stop a massive Troll Army… The biggest gift you could give to us is your strength"
"My strength? So you want to become my servants too?"
"Your servant? Who said that we would lay so down in front of you? We would never serve you. However, we could consider an alliance"
"An Alliance? Is there somewhere on the system menu were you can make alliances?"
"Yes, after owning a big quantity of servants or descendants, an Alliance System will be unlocked; you probably already accomplished all the requirements…"
Ding!
[High Holy Dryad Elysia has offered you to make an alliance]
[Do you accept?]
