As Alex activated his new skill. Suddenly boxes appeared around every plant around him. He focused on a almost foot tall box. All the sudden a bunch of information appeared in his view.
{ Crabgrass is a low-growing, summer annual that spreads by seed and from rootings of nodes that lie on the soil. Undisturbed, it can grow to 2 feet tall. Remove to the roots immediately. Costs 2 mana to instantly remove.}
He didn't choose to remove it instantly because he figured it might not allow him to progress his life skills. He instead focused on a rose bush.
{This rose bush requires fertilizer and pruning start by pruning this branch here ,here,here...} All the branches that need pruned glowed red. He realized this skill told him everything that needed done to restructure the garden. He head to a shed that he saw last night. Inside he found some small trowels and pruning shears. Even some new bags of fertilizers. He started to work right away. He started by carefully pulling up all the weeds he found. It took over three hours to get rid of most of them. It was around four in the evening. He walked back into the manor after remembering about being told dinner was around 4:30. Not realizing he was about to be scold by Alfred.
"What in the bloody hell do you think you're tracking all over my newly cleaned floors. You get back out there and change out of those boots then head upstairs and get a shower! Right now!"
Alex hurried back outside and took his shoes off. He then ran past the still fuming Alfred and up the stairs to his bedroom and into the private bathroom. After he took a hurried shower and put on his old clothes. He went back downstairs wondering if Alfred would spit in his dinner. Knowing he probably wouldn't he ate his dinner of steak mash potatoes and green beans.
"If you pick up anymore strays. You'll need to hire a chef Master Bruce. " He said while shooting me a glare. Obviously he was still not happy for the mud. Bruce also looked at me then Alfred.
"Why would I want a chef when I have you. After all you know all my favorites. Plus just keep the strays off the carpet."
Alex just looked at the two of them in shock. They were teaming up against him. It wasn't really fair.
"I'll have you know strays are very cute and they are only picked if they really liked."
They both just laughed at him. He finished his dinner in a hurry. Not caring if he gets cramps and rushed back to the garden. He had to plant his seeds tonight.
He looked at the seeds that were in the bag there was 6 little packets.
{ Root of Adderwort- a common magical root that when grounded up can be used in health powders.
Herb of vigor- a small rare herb that heals damage to the mind and body
Bush of Goodberry- a small red berry that can be used injunction with a tier two spell that will amplify the effects.
Acorn of alder- A seed of a legendary tree. It allows one to expand their mana pools. It also grows the mana density in a area making it a mana zone.
Herb of Mailic - A deadly herb when not prepared properly can lead to death. When prepared it can be used to increase the grade of health potions.
Quinze- a small blue herb that replenishes mana. Needs to be watered with mana infused water.}
Alex looked over all the seeds and slowly planted them in a back section of the garden that used to have vegetables in it. It was fenced in and off the ground. So he didn't have to worry about animals or birds. He didn't want his crops to be destroyed.
He even asked Bruce and Alfred to not touch them. They both agreed when he explained it was something that to do with his powers. They both promised to stay away.
Now all he had to do was figure out how to mana infuse water. He tried to cast healing hands on the water but nothing he could see happened. What he didn't notice was the water became cleaner.
"Hey system any idea what I have to do to get mana infused water?"
{"Just use your mana by itself instead of casting a spell. Act like you're about to case healing hands but instead force the mana out of your palms instead."}
Alex immediately tried to do as the system advised. He failed horribly about thirty times in a row. Before a blue flash appeared before him and soaked into the water. It was like cool aid it diffused into the water and made it a glowing blue. It was beautiful like a clear lake he thought it was amazing. He wanted to taste it but for some reason his mind warned him against it.
{"Warning host is in contact with a dangerous healing liquid. If used uninjured it can cause over healing and lead to death "}
"What I thought I was just making mana water?"
{"You did however you failed thirty times and used healing hands on it thirty times in a row before infusing it with mana. Allowing it to turn into a high quality healing water. It's actually very useful. It might even be able to heal your injured friend if used in small doses over a month. It's also useful in potions and health herbs. It can make the herbs of higher quality."}
Alex paused in thought he decided to set aside the healing water and make another regular mana water. He managed to get it on the first try. He used that to water all the herbs and plants. He actually saw the the mana swirl and infuse into the plants. It was a magical sight. He felt a keen interest in growing and planting more of theses. It was like a reawakening of his hobbies. He felt like there was a itch that he needed to scratch. He needed to figure out how it worked. He needed to explore and expedite these plants.
