"Damn I need to buy more potions when I get back to the city, maybe I should become an Alchemist considering how many potions I use."
"Well now let's see what loot these three can give me." John thought before checking the loot for each of the elves.

"Ohhh another spell tome." John said before looking at its details.
[Spell Tome: Chain Lightning]
[Chain Lightning: Shoot lightning at the enemy and inflict damage before jumping to the next closest enemy. Jumps a maximum number of 5 times.]
[Nature Element]
[2 Second Cast]
[Damage: 50 + M ATP Damage]
[Cost: 50 MP]
[Requirement to Learn: INT=30]
"Nice a multi-target spell, the mana cost is a bit high with a two second cast time, but it does high damage, did he buy this or get lucky on a drop?"
[Received: Spell Tome: Chain Lightning and 21 copper from player Taeral]
[Requirement to learn Chain Lightning spell met]
[Would you like to learn the Chain Lightning spell?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes"
[Spell Learnt: Chain Lightning (Rank 1)]
"Twenty-one copper? fuck he is poor, is this why he still has some level ten gear, and he has no new spells? I should ask Alea about that later."
"Why does Eletha still have starter shoes? Is her luck that bad, unfortunately all the armor is four levels higher than I am, and I saw better on the auction house so I will take the health potions here."
[Received: Lesser Healing Potion x 5 and 18 copper from player Eletha]
[Lesser Healing Potion: A healing potion that restores 180HP]
"Nice, that's almost double the healing on minor healing potion, still I thought Natures Guardian paid his followers?"
"Even though the armor on Tasar is slightly better than Eletha, I still can't equip it and I need the mana potions with how much my spells drink mana so I will take the mana potions from him."
[Received: Minor Mana Potion x 5 and 22 copper from player Tasar]
"Now that's over with, let's get the rest of these herbs." John started to gather all the herbs that were in the clearing.
[Quest Update]
[Briarthorn: 10/10]
[Quest Update]
[Peacebloom: 10/10]
[Quest Update]
[Silverleaf: 10/10]
By the time he was done he had collected more than his quest required for all but Earthroot.
"Hmm why was Earthroot not here? Let me check the book I got from Mossey."
"It says Earthroot is found mainly on rocky terrain near grass, it looks just like a root with its brown top sticking out the ground."
"Well, that makes sense since it's in the name, let's keep an eye out for herbs on rocky terrain then."
"Now where to next, wolves and bandits, the quest description says they're attacking people going to and from Thamethalas, maybe near the road then?"
As John thought of that he backtracked towards the road before following it away from the city keeping an eye out.
***
Meanwhile in a Dungeon a fair distance from Thamethalas, a group of elves were battling a large group of monsters.
After several minutes they finally managed to kill all the monsters and then started to check through the loot they got.
"Nothing special, just some basic crafting materials and vendor trash." Said the elf who inspected the loot.
"That's expected considering there just trash mobs." Natures Guardian the leader of the group responded before instructing.
"Take a five-minute break people to recover your health, mana and any cool-downs before we head to the next area where the boss is."
The elves all nodded and the three females in the group gathered around Natures Guardian as they tried to curry favor with him as they started to show more skin than normal.
The other male elves just shook their heads as they were used to this now and knew none of them stood a chance with the women while Natures Guardian was around.
A moment later one of the elves received a message that made him frown before he approached Natures Guardian and spoke.
"Boss I got a report back on Taeral's group that were sent to deal with that human noob."
Natures Guardian stopped making out with one of the female elves to her disappointment before he said.
"Has that noob been taught a lesson to keep his hands off what is mine and killed like I instructed Alre?"
Natures Guardian team member Alre was second in command of the guild Natures Guardian's Followers and also the assistant of Natures Guardian.
Alre scratched his head awkwardly before he sighed and reported.
"No boss, they failed."
Natures Guardian raised an eyebrow before saying.
"Explain."
"Apparently we underestimated that noob, he looked Kieran down before taking them out one at a time." Alre began to explain.
"Only Taeral could do any damage to the guy with basic attacks while there charged attacks did almost nothing, in the entire fight he did not have to heal once before he killed Taeral, Eletha and Tasar."
"What about Kieran?" Natures Guardian asked while his frown deepened.
"We are unsure what happened, but his level did not drop, and he has left the guild." Alre reported.
"Do you think he betrayed us?" Natures Guardian asked.
"Not in the battle, he literally could not do anything as the human noob used CC to lock him down right till the other three died, after that were not sure." Reported before adding.
"Also, there are two concerning matters."
"Speak." Natures Guardian said as he stood up moving away from the unhappy three females who all looked at Alre with anger.
Alre ignored the three females as he said.
"It seems the human noob knew the spells Moonfire and Entangle, both of which are druid exclusive spells."
The frown became even deeper on Natures Guardian as he asked.
"Do we know where he learned the two spells? He can't be the one in the recent global announcement about a player getting a previously race exclusive class can he?"
"Unlikely as he just left the starter village by the looks of his gear and everyone knows you can't get a class until you come to the main city of your continent." Alre answered and then continued.
"It is strange though, he claims to be the human who defeated Ayen and Dain in the starter village, he claims to have got the Moonfire tome of them, as for Entangle where not sure."
"Although no one is sure why a human was in the starter village of the central continent."
"Stupid idiots, I knew we should not have risked sending a spell tome back to the starter village." Natures Guardian said annoyed before adding.
"Unfortunately, it was part of the contract agreement for Dain to join the guild, you know he can use the rare time magic and it was deemed an acceptable risk to get him to join." Alre reminded.
Natures Guardian sighed and rubbed his forehead before saying.
"I know Alre, but it does not mean I like it, we just have to hope that human does not reveal this information to anyone, or it could cause trouble for even my father."
There was silence for a moment before one the elf females giggled as she wrapped her arms around Nurtures Guardian's back and whispered in his ear.
