122 Chapter 120 An (1/2)
Joseph called all of the mages together, even Stu, who didn't normally come when they were summoned. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself as they were gathering around. Many of them were muttering about how he was glowing, and exclaiming over his obvious upgrade. Most of them, by this point, were able to recover from their shock. It had just become par for the course, when it involved him and something new with magic.
”I have just come back from the forest of the elves. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. For tonight, I had an idea that I want to try.”
He drew a small circle on the ground with just enough points for Stu, Stella, Derek, Stephan, and Tekaun to stand inside his enhanced mana aura. They quickly took their place.
”It won't feed everyone, but it will certainly feed us tonight.”
If the elves saw this, they would totally claim this was an abuse of magic, like the time with the oranges. He wanted to make all the various plants that he loved to eat in his last lives. It didn't occur to him until his intelligence rose earlier. He had used magic to create oranges for Stella, so why couldn't he make them all?
They were in an area right outside the gate, as it was the only clear area big enough for what he wanted to do. The circle greatly expanded the range at which he could Sacrifice for mana.
Raising a hand, he killed all of the gra.s.ses for a hundred acres, and drew the mana towards him before he started chain casting.
DECAY. All the dead gra.s.s turned into nutrients in the soil.
CREATE PLANT. Dozens of rows of sprouts appeared.
PLANT GROWTH. PLANT GROWTH. PLANT GROWTH.
He ran out of mana from the gra.s.s and started drawing from his companions, so he had to be careful. Even if the mana was instantly replenished, he still couldn't take more than half of their mana at any spell. The gra.s.ses and most of the vegetables were done, but the trees still needed more.
PLANT GROWTH. PLANT GROWTH. PLANT GROWTH
Taking a breath, he wasn't sure if the next spell would work.
PREPARE GAME. All the vegetables and fruits, and gra.s.ses were separated into piles. The whole field was harvested!
(FOOD AND PLANT ARE SURPRISED. PREPARE GAME HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO HARVEST A FIELD BEFORE.)
(37 LOST SPECIES HAVE BEEN RESTORED.)
(112 NEW SPECIES HAVE BEEN CREATED IN THE REALM.)
(HELENA THE G.o.dDESS OF MOTHERS, PROTECTOR OF THE HOME, AND KEEPER OF THE HEARTH, HAS TAKEN NOTICE OF YOUR ACTIONS.)
(YVETTE, THE G.o.dDESS OF HERBS AND GARDENING, HAS SHOWN GREAT INTEREST IN YOUR ACTIONS.)
(URINA, G.o.dDESS OF COOKING, AND HER HUSBAND, BEARUS, G.o.d OF HUNTING, HAVE SHOWN INTEREST IN YOUR ACTIONS.)
All the seeds were divided by plant type and everything was already chopped up. If they wanted this in time for dinner, he would have to hurry. Stu was about to cry, seeing the piles of ingredients, but Joseph warned him they were short on time.
Realization bloomed on his face, as Stu immediately jumped into action. Stu wouldn't miss this chance if he had to crawl out of a hospital bed.
Stella chipped in a bit.
”Boil that, bake that, this goes in the soup with the goat meat, that needs to be rubbed on the pork roast before you grill it. That, you can eat raw, just peel it.”
William and Joseph's mom arrived shortly, with even more cooks and it became a feast.
As Joseph was finally able to sit down with his parents and Stella in their dining hall, his mom turned to him.
”So, Joseph, how did everything go?”
William sighed, ”As honestly as you can, Joseph, or your mother will know.”
She nodded as she looked at him.
”Well. We saw the elven queen naked, so we got banished from the forest.”
William squirted his drink out of his nose. His mother looked shocked. Joseph quickly continued before they could recover.
