The mountain still existed, or at least part of it, the apparent ores had been mined and it was slowly transformed into a tower, some parts of which had already been replaced by stone bricks. There were still teams of the undead working on the construction of the tower while they were talking, the workforce of the undead was simply amazing, they didn't need food or water or time to rest, as long as there was someone to coordinate them they could work infinitely.
The tower already had a large wooden and metal gate, engraved in the top of it was a fox head surrounded by nine tails. A symbol of recognition that he had created for his base, a coat of arms for his new upcoming force.
Nicola had taken advantage of his newly acquired power, of the Earth Heavenly Essence, to experiment with vegetation, he had fused several types of trees into one specimen and now he was going to plant them around his base, he buried two of them in front of the perimeter gates to create a triumphal entrance. Nicola had implanted a wooden core inside the trunk of each of them so that they would develop faster absorbing the mana that was emitted from there.
So, he used his skills to grow them. Nicola no longer needed to weave spells to cast elemental powers since a long time ago, his elemental core cut the path in half, he just needed to feel the flow of mana around and control it, creating the effects he wanted more easily. Then he directed the mana of light and mana of the earth, increasing the vitality of the small seedling and making it develop faster.
The process excited the wood core trapped inside them and was quickly absorbed by the plant, creating green leaves and clear root growth in the surrounding soil. The plant, which was one meter tall, grew quickly to double and continued to develop. "Come on, I have a few more to plant yet." He called Kiiro to go with him and walked around the base planting new seedlings.
[Elemental craftsman profession leveled up by creating new techniques related to the elements around. High silver level achieved.]
The notification even took Nicola by surprise. It had been some time since he had given much importance to this special profession that he had acquired but apparently with the experiments he developed recently it had advanced to the upper level of silver stars. 'Status' he thought.

He had developed some skills over time but he already knew, his recent focus was to level his professions that were far behind his current level. He had already managed to raise all of them to the basic level of silver, but did not have much time to dedicate himself to them, alchemy and blacksmithing were well behind their current limit. As a scientist in the past life and with the possibilities of a new world full of magic and new simulations, with his current achievements in research he has managed to bring his class of elemental craftsman to the high level of silver. "Maybe it was because of the experiment with the baby snakes and the hybrid trees." He thought.
"I wish there was a way to turn them into one, just like the previous classes that merged into elemental craftsman."
[Receiving request from the host, analyzing possibilities.]
"What?!" Nicola was startled by the system's response. "Can I request something like this from the system too?"
[Special profession found, host does not have enough level to use it currently, profession will be sealed until the requirements are met. Do you wish to continue? Y / N]
'It seems to me that I can request this type of thing from the system. Probably the profession will be sealed until I reach the sufficient level just like the elemental caftsman. ' "No" Nicola has denied for now. It would be much better to have just one profession that could be developed than several, after all the buffs that his current fused profusion gave him were much bigger than the others together, he could already imagine what could come from the fusion of so many skills together.
Then a thought crossed Nicola's mind. "System, can I merge skills too?" He asked.
[The host can merge skills to create new ones only at the gold level.]
