Chapter 516: Vine Carts (1/2)

Faelyn nodded rigorously at Leon's comment before she said, ”I've frequently interacted with the common folks in the tribe, but it's also the first time I've encountered such a situation.”

”They revere you so much, even male elves want to give you their seeds~!” Duna teased with a soft laugh as she enjoyed seeing Leon in distress.

Leon naturally understood what she meant and could not help but feel goosebumps crawling on his skin as he shivered.

”Please do not joke like that, Duna. I don't need no man coming onto me,” Leon said with a bitter smile. He was not amused.

”But what do you need the seeds for anyway? How will these help the tribesmen?” Faelyn asked after passing her entire grass-woven pouch of seeds to Leon.

Leon noticed this small detail and smiled before he started explaining, ”You can see that the tribesmen's pace is rather slow due to the goods they are carrying with them. This is quite an inefficient way of transport and will only tire them down quickly if they were required to increase their pace.”

”But how will you use these seeds to help them?” Faelyn asked curiously, wondering what Leon was planning.

”You have been to the Human Domain and have seen the modes of transport in the Capital.” Leon explained patiently with a smile before asking, ”What do you think the tribe is lacking in comparison?”

”Elvengarde does not have any of those steel moving objects. They're called trucks and cars, right?” Faelyn said.

Leon nodded.

”Ah… yes, Elvengarde doesn't have steam-powered vehicles like the Crawford Empire. But let alone steam-powered models of transport, the elves do not seem to even utilize any form of carriages.” He shortly stated.

”Ah? Right… We don't, do we?” Faelyn's eyes suddenly flickered in realization before she asked, ”Then that means that you want to…?”

”That's right. We'll make some carriages. The power of leverages will lighten their burden and quicken their pace,” Leon stated.

He knew the elves were a self-sufficient race, but it was surprising that they do not even use wheeled constructs to carry their load.

Shortly after, he took out some seeds from Faelyn's grass-woven pouch before channeling his Wood Energy into them.

It was the first time he would be utilizing his wood abilities outside of healing.

Nevertheless, he had seen others manipulate vines with their wood abilities so many times that he had vaguely grasped the trick behind it.

In a short moment, the seeds germinated and quickly grew into vines before Leon manipulated them, shaping them according to his thoughts.

First came the four wheels, then the cargo area for holding, and finally the shaft for pulling. It was a relatively simple design, but not bad for Leon's first attempt.

With a single thought, the vines could become soft, hard, brittle, or even stretch like rubber. But for the carriage, it was naturally made hard and firm like ironwood.

It was definitely not the typically common breed of vines that could be seen every day.

”This is the carriage? It's a bit small.” Faelyn commented with a hint of doubt. She had seen much bigger carriages back in the Human Domain.

”No, not quite.” Leon shook his head and said, ”At most, this is just a cart. Hang on, I am still experimenting with the designs. I will make a bigger carriage soon.”

”Why don't you help the tribesmen load their goods onto this cart first, then find some able warriors to do the pulling and give them tasks to recreate similar carts for the other tribesmen?” Leon suggested.

”Alright, I will do just that,” Faelyn nodded and summoned the nearby elven warriors to do just ask Leon suggested.
