Isaac frowned slightly.
"The… what exactly is this World Tree?"
Althea looked a little surprised, then smiled faintly, as if realizing humans really were as ignorant about other races as rumors said.
"The World Tree is our Guardian Deity. Through it, we maintain our connection to the Goddess of War, Harvest, and Love.
"All of our blessings, our fertility, and even our battle arts come from that link. It's the reason our people thrive."
"I see." Isaac nodded slowly. "So you all think the World Tree sent you here to tell me congratulations."
"Yes, Congratulations on becoming a Lord, Isaac."
"Thank you."
She tilted her head, then changed the subject. "But why you're here? Have you come here to sell your crops?"
Isaac gave a small nod. "Yes. I'm here to sell wheat and Vitality Grains."
"I see. May I see what you've brought?"
Isaac reached into his storage ring and placed a few samples on the counter.
