While eating some fruit Lawrence and Freya are talking to each other
"Dear do you know the one who crafted that pot?" Lawrence asked Freya.
"No dear, it was given by my mother as a gift for our wedding, why? Do you need pots? We already have plenty of different sizes of it" she replied
"No dear, it's for our weapons while training. How about steel and metal do you know about it?" Lawrence asked
"steel and metal what is that?" Freya asked
"It's a shining hard object, harder than a stone and as white as your hair," he replied with a smile
"No dear sorry I haven't seen anything like it before" Freya said in a sad tone
"Don't worry about it, it's not that important" Lawrence put his hand on top of her head while gently saying that.
The two of them continue eating while talking with each other. A few minutes later. Lawrence drinks and eats the herbs he consumes daily.
Now that I think about it, should I give the warriors in training some red echina herbs to boost their strength and stamina?
Never mind, there are too many of them and this is quite rare. I do not even know how to plant them, I'll just save this for the elites I'll pick tomorrow
I'll also go to the village healer early in the morning and ask her to come to the glade with some herbs for healing.
"Dear I'll use my energy, wanna accompany me outside for a few minutes?" Lawrence asked.
"of course," Freya said with a smile
The two of them then walked outside their house. Then Lawrence put his palm on the ground and managed to summon a three feet tree sprout.
"hm isn't this taller than before?" Freya asked
"yeah I think so too, your husband is awesome aren't I?" Lawrence said with a sincere smile while looking at Freya
Lawrence continued to summon tree sprouts till he started feeling tired
Lawrence then looks at Freya
"yes my dear husband is awesome" Freya smiled while her face is being illuminated by the moonlight and some fireflies are floating around them
"sigh"
"My dear wife looks so lovely. Let's head inside and rest" Lawrence said with a sincere smile
Not long after, the two fall asleep
.
.
Lawrence wakes up early in the morning.
He told his wife Freya that he would wait for her at the glade. He then starts heading to the world tree
.
.
Below the world tree
.
"Hello world tree, can you hear me?"
"Please do something if you can"
F*ck can it not hear me? We are so screwed, the barrier might be thinner compare to before now. I don't even know what made the elven extinct.
The world tree is my only chance of survival till I can protect myself.
"Please world tree decrease the size of the barrier and instead make it thicker"
Lawrence heard some chuckling, he looked at the branches and saw the dryads
"Leave, I can hear everything the world tree said," they all said in unison
F*ck that's creepy as hell there's like ten of them saying it at the same time with emotionless expressions
"yes then I shall take my leave now, please continue to protect the village," Lawrence said while bowing.
Lawrence then heads to the glade to start training. After some time, he arrived at the glade and saw some elves there.
He greeted them and then he went to look for a medium size tree. He put his palm on its trunk and channelled his nature energy
Damn, I can control this now. I can also even make it bow and sway just like the small tree.
*clap*
*clap*
*clap*
Lawrence heard some elves clapping behind him
Dammit, I feel like a circus performer rather than a mage right now. I'll ask some slaves *cough* I mean some lovely elves to build me a fence here later
Lawrence continued to train until his nose bled.
Damn, this is my limit now. I've only been doing this for a few days but I can already move this tree this much. I hope the tree I can summon later will be a bit bigger too.
I feel like my energy cores are growing rapidly, is it because I have eight cores? Or because of the fruit of the world tree?
Lawrence then looked around the glade and noticed that a lot of elves had come. Including Freya, Karina, Claren, Miraen, Freya's mother and sister, Aisha, Adriana, Alyana and Olivia.
Lawrence approached Freya and the other. The other elves also start approaching the group.
That's weird, aren't they supposed to be just around 500? why does it seem that there's more of them now here?
"Hello everyone since you are all here, we should start some training. First, let's run at the side of the glade and make a full circle back here. Stop only when you feel that you can no longer run. Let's do our best for the goddess" Lawrence said with a smile
Now let's run little lambs. As for you elders, I'm sure you have trained to become warriors. Let's see how many of you are here
Lawrence then instructed the elves to follow him, and they did. They are all running at the side of the glade.
Lawrence purposely runs to the inner part of the glade to be able to watch the other elves run. He is guiding them while searching for potential elites.
Hmm, the chieftess and Aisha are trained warriors, huh, their posture and stamina are better than other elves. Olivia is also doing good. As for my wife well she's sweet and caring but she started walking halfway through.
An hour later. Lawrence ordered the leading elves to stop and also stop the ones behind them after running twice around the glade.
Damn, their stamina sucks so bad, some elves even passed out. We won't get anywhere from this.
Lawrence then asks the resting elves who are still able to run to pick the ones that passed out and bring them to the beds he prepared yesterday.
He also walks around to pick up some red echina herbs, wash them with water energy then tear them apart as small as he can. After that, he dumps the herbs into the elves' drinking water that he also asked to prepare yesterday.
I hope this is enough to boost their stamina even a little. Two red echina for all of them will be the limit for now.
I should go to the village healer later and ask about this herb. She might know this more than me.
I also haven't seen her yet, I hope she's a beauty too so I can have some fun *cough* I mean talking to her about herbs might be fun. Being an alchemist was my dream before after all.
Few minutes later
Some elves are still running huh? Olivia is doing better than I thought, and that red and silver hair too. I'm starting to see my potential elites now.
