Chapter 1042: New Evolutions
-----
I guess Lily was the one that had changed the least amongst our main party, she remained almost the same. Well, aside from having grown a few little centimeters and looking a bit… "thicker" I suppose. For some reason Brownies are quite underdeveloped in their bodies, despite most of them being adults when we interacted with them, they were truly a child-like race.
However that began to change with Lily, after her evolution her body developed much more, she now had large breasts and wide hips, and an overall more mature and sexy appearance than the innocent appearance of the little brownies we know.
I remember hearing back then that Brownies and Dwarves descend from the same ancestor or something, which was originally an Earth Spirit, I think? Or was it Gnomes? Well, there are so many mini races that's hard to remember, but it looked like Lily was taking into the features of a dwarven women now, although still retaining all the appearance of a brownie female as well.
I noticed several "scales" similar to the ones we had growing around certain parts of her body, her shoulders and arms, a bit of her neck too, and her legs, they were, however, made of shiny ores, silver, gold, and also jewels such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, giving her a very colorful appearance.
Her long brown colored hair was now made into several beautiful braids, which were entwined with many colorful jewels too, I don't know if they were part of her hair or not. That combined with brown and white colored blouse, small golden and brown colored armor made of dragon scales, and her white-colored skirt and stockings made her look rather adorable and also gorgeous.
"You did change quite a bit, but at the same time you look the same as before," Rita laughed. "It's weird."
"Eh? I thought I changed quite a lot…" Lily sighed. "I look rather cute at least, right? And look, I got a tiny crystal horn in my forehead."
Indeed, she had a small rainbow-colored crystal horn growing from her forehead, it gave her a very unique appearance, like nothing we've ever seen before.
I could tell that the more Players advanced and evolved into unique forms, the more new races they could create at the same time.
Like, as of right now, although we kept a few of the aspects of our original races, we've changed to the point we could considered completely different, new races.
"Anyways, I evolved from an [Earthen Spirit Brownie Titan] into a [Spirit Crystal Gnomie Titan Princess: Smilkas]! I became a Gnomie, it seems I am no longer a Brownie… Though at the same time I still am, right? Every time we evolve, it's not like we lose our previous racial forms."
"Gnomie?! Wait, that's it!" I said. "You evolved into the Ancestor of Gnomes and Dwarves, wow, I didn't expect that! And you got a name too! That's big!"
"I didn't get a name though?" Rita gasped. "This is not fair, I also wanted one! Why did she get one?"
"I didn't get one either I think," Mark laughed. "There must be something related with the world's story if you ever get a name in your racial evolution."
"Smilkas… Both a Gnomie and a Titan, and also a Princess," Nieve muttered. "It does ring some bells, I think I've heard of that somewhere? A tale of old from the Gnome and Brownie village."
"Wait, really?" I wondered.
"Yes… I think it is some sort of spiritual ancestor, or perhaps some sort of old divinity, I can't remember…" Nieve said. "But this is big, it is in the same level as Lady Planta obtaining the Yggdragon Title, her evolution might have given her a Legacy, from Smilkas."
"Wow…" Lily gasped. "I had no idea it would be this big of a thing! I remember I heard some sort of voice, something saying I was now the one wearing the Crown of Jewels. But I didn't get what that meant."
"The Crown of Jewels perhaps is some sort of metaphor to carrying Smilkas Legacy," Mark pointed out. "Nonetheless, fantastic news, Lily. Congrats!"
"Yeah, I guess… Next time I am definitely getting a named evolution too," Rita felt slightly jealous.
"Hahah, calm down Rita, let her be," I patted Rita's shoulders. "Amazing, Lily, we should explore your new abilities over time later. This also opens some interesting possibilities, and maybe some lore of the past and the origin of the many races. After all, we traveled to prehistory and none of the modern races existed.

Elves might have descended from Ancient Elves, and maybe Divine Dragons descendants were some of the other Dragons we've met, lizardmen, kobolds, and other scaled people. And then the Majin probably are the ancestors of all demon races, such as Onis like my daughter, Devils, Imps, and so on… But what about humans, dwarves, gnomes, brownies, and so on? There's also Titans and countless other races."
"Its interesting to think about it, yes," Lily nodded. "Perhaps Smilkas was truly a Gnomie and a Titan, maybe some sort of hybrid that bridged both races?"
"Or perhaps the one that was born different than the rest…" Rita wondered. "What if Smilkas was actually the daughter of a Titan, but was born much smaller? And then her descendants became the Gnomies."
"That the smallest races descend from the largest people of the world is quite ironic to think about…" Mark laughed a bit.
"It really is, but it's really interesting! I bet many of us beast tribes also have important and strong ancestors. Such as Ratatoskr, the ancestor of us Squirrel-kin, it is said he was some sort of powerful Divine Beast, messenger of the gods!" Acorn said. "I think I am the only one that has been able to tap into this ancestral bloodline though…"
"It's all really interesting, yeah, yeah," Johanna nodded, moving towards us. "But don't you have things to do? I'll stay here for now, but I am fairly sure you had somewhere to go!"
"Ah! Right, right, the Magician Guild registration! The Queen just sent me a message, so let's go met with her," I said. "David will come pick us up to the castle again."
As we moved out of Ambil's smithy, there was already a golden carriage waiting for us.
"Lady Planta and friends! It has been a few days, how are you all doing?"
David greeted us.
