Chapter 259

While we walked, Ulon said "It seems you made a great impression on her . She even gave you some of her herbs . Those things are much more precious, than a whole field of Blood Yarn . But you did help us a lot, we just need to implement the same system, and then we can finally relax a bit" . I said "Yes, although there is one more improvement, which I didn't implement yet" .

Ulon was stunned, and asked "Did you just say, you have even more methods, to improve our farming? Or did I hear something wrong?" . I replied "It's nothing exciting, it's just an extension to the existing system . Currently, you need to bring the water to the field, but my completed water delivery system is automated . This means, you will only need to fill that huge main tank, and the water would go straight to all the fields" .

Ulon couldn't believe it, and said "I feel dumb, whenever I'm talking with you . . . Are you going to implement that for us?" . I replied "I can, but under one condition" . Ulon nodded, and asked "What is it, that you would like to get in return?" . I said "I'm not a permanent resident here . What I want, is the field that I already cultivate . I want to own it, until I'm gone, i . e . dead . I will also leave Apium sooner or later, and I need someone to tend to my herbs . If you guys are willing to do that, and store the harvested herbs for me, then I will build the automated water delivery system for you . I will also help you implement the water delivery system, to all of your fields" .

Ulon thought about it, and said "Wait here, I will go ask Fraction Leader about it . If she agrees, then we have a deal" . I nodded my head, and watched as Ulon ran back to the Floral Fraction building . I waited for a while, and Ulon returned shortly . He smiled, and said "She didn't even think about it, and agreed straight away . When I told her about your idea, she seemed impressed . Therefore, we have a deal . We will tend to your field, and harvest it for you . You on the other hand, will complete the water delivery system for us" .

I nodded, and said "Alright, let's go back . There is loads of work, that needs to be done" . The process started again, but on a more ma.s.sive scale . There were four other fields, that needed an upgrade . I also needed to design, and implement the automated system of channels . It would be used, to transport the water from the huge main tank, to all the fields . Ulon asked me, if I needed help gathering wood . I replied "No, I want to do it myself, as it will be a part of my training . I don't get much time to do any training lately, so I can at least train like that" . He was a bit confused, and asked couple more times . I a.s.sured him, that I would be fine .

I started dragging the Dead Wood, back to Apium . With time, I had to travel further, and further . This on the other hand, exhausted me more and more . I also did most of the work, as the Atols from Floral Fraction, were not craftsmen . Like this, the time pa.s.sed, and fruits of my labour started appearing . I got used to dragging the Dead Wood, and my strength increased by a lot . My stamina improved as well . I felt, that I was getting closer to reaching my limits .

After many days of hard labour, I finally managed to create the automated water delivery system for all the fields, including mine . As the water from the huge main tank flooded the channels, the Atols that worked hard throughout so many years, cheered . Ulon patted my shoulder, and said "It has been completed . Your legacy, will stay here for the rest of our lives, and even longer . You should be proud boy . You helped us immensely, and we will honor the deal we made, with pride!" . I nodded my head, smiled and said "Yea, I'm exhausted though . I will take a few days off, and get some rest" .

Ulon replied "you deserve all the rest, that you need . We still have to harvest out fields and tend to them, but it will no longer take most of our lives . I truly thank you" . I waved my hand, and left . My part of the deal was done . I also received all the herbs, that the Fraction Leader Florin promised, and all the harvest from my own field . I had loads of herbs to make extracts from, and some new ones, that I needed to study . But before I did any of that, I went back to my room and slept like a log .

For the next few days, I did nothing but rested . I didn't try to study the herbs, or make anything, and simply let my body, as well as my mind rest . After these few days, I went back to studying the herbs, that I received from Florin . Fortunately, there was a note that came with the herbs . Florin explained what properties each herb had, so I didn't have to study them too extensively .

She gave me three herbs . They were called Alen Sprout, Black Iris and Antal Shroom . One of them looked like a vine, the other looked like a flower, and the third was a mushroom . Alen Sprout had healing properties, and could be used in medical applications . Black iris, could be used as a support, for increasing the strength of medicine, but also for other herbs, as it was very good at extracting properties of other herbs . The Antal Shroom was poisonous, and could be used to make poison .

She cautioned in the note, that the shroom needs to be processed, in order to be poisonous, and that it was safe to touch otherwise . I didn't know how strong the poison would be, but I needed to find out more . I was stunned myself, that they were in possession of poisonous herbs . 'It seems, that not only Warrior Fraction, is capable of attacking their enemies . I will have to speak to Ulon, about visiting Florin again . I have no idea, how strong that poison is, and how it spreads' I thought .

I decided to deal with that later, and focus on making extracts from the Alen Sprout . I had ten herbs of each kind, so I wanted to make an extract, from all ten Alen Sprouts . 'I will use all the Alen Sprouts, but only 4 Black Irises . I will need them more, when I get to create that poison . If the poison is good, then having more Black Irises, would be more beneficial to that process, compared to healing medicine' I thought .

I set up my tools, and started the process of extracting everything from those herbs . Of course, I took it very slowly in the beginning, and tried to figure out when I had to stop . If I cooked them for too long, the impurities would pop up, which I didn't need .

To my surprise, the herbs had very little impurities . I could extract about 80% of the properties easily, without creating any impurities . 'This is great . I can already see, that the strength of medicine is nothing to scoff at . I can extract this much of it, just from one plant . It might be due to the Black Iris as well' I thought . With my little experiment done, I did the full scale extraction, from all the plants .

Soon, I had about one litre of pure extract from the Alen Sprout . 'This thing is amazing . Healing Essence, doesn't even come close to this thing . If I smeared it on any wound, it would heal very quickly . In fact, it would be so quick, one could see it with their own eyes' I thought . I decided to test a bit of it, and smeared some onto my chest .

There were some nasty wounds left, after the battles in the Arena . The scars were quite substantial, so I wanted to check, if the scars could regenerate . After while of waiting, I noticed that the scars started shrinking, until they became half as big, as they used to be . 'This thing is really amazing . I will save it for when I really need it . This can save my life, when I really need it' I thought, and poured it to three separate bottles . 'What should I call that extract?' I thought . After a while of thinking, I came up with a name . 'I shall call it Greater Medical Extract . I will need to add this recipe to my book later' I thought .
