The elf kid managed to evolve today, independent of me trigger an evolution. I was expecting it to happen eventually, but I wasn’t expecting it to happen so quickly. I didn’t try to oversee or otherwise guide the process, I was curious about what he would become. It was obvious enough that he gained a level of talent with plant manipulation, that is what I thought was what caused him to evolve. But it was less than I expected it to be, instead, the improvements came in the way of internal mana manipulation. It was a variant of elf, that much was clear, though it was one I wasn’t familiar with, maybe it was created recently by one of the dungeons? Plant manipulation has gotten rather popular recently, and that is a major theme of this species, though not the central one.

Regardless, the kid has improved significantly as a result. His improved ability with internal mana manipulation has dramatically improved the effects of his belief in me, which helps him with pretty much everything. I expect him to become one of the best by the end of this.

As for everyone else, progress is remaining more or less steady. I am learning how to use this style of teaching better, and people are learning how to take advantage of it better, so things are slowly speeding up. And as more and more people leave things should start speeding up even faster.

As for my other project, things are going well. I have managed to create a crude form of storing memories that I am able to consistently create. There are still a lot of issues to work out, but everything is working more or less how I want it too. I’m not sure how long it will take me to get everything working perfectly, but it shouldn’t be too difficult.

Other than that I spent my downtime with Par. He’s been spending most of his time recently organizing everything and keeping everyone working. As a result of the recent attack, a lot of people died and so a lot of businesses collapsed, if it weren’t for Par paying people to work for him our economy would have ground to a halt, or so he says. But as a result of this, they have been able to build a lot of things, like a simple sewer system underneath every town or city in our empire, or great monuments to the dead. Things I would be able to build in a day or less, true, but that is beside the point. It’s honestly kind of impressive how much they’ve managed to create. There is no limit on resources, we have plenty of metal and an effectively infinite supply of wood, and so labor is what is preventing us from building more.

The latest project he has set up involves creating massive enchanted areas with various effects. Like hospitals where every brick is enchanted to improve the effectiveness of healing magic, or a sparing field enchanted to help people recover from exhaustion and small injuries quickly, and other similar things. The hospital was really interesting to me because the bricks were made out of Whitefoot, making the effects even more pronounced.

On top of that, he has a lot of military stuff going on, most of which went over my head or wasn’t particularly interesting. What was interesting though is that we have a lot of very competent plant manipulators and healers, more so than ever before, as such they are forming the backbone of our army. He also spent some time bragging about some new weapons Tiddol has designed, most of them designed to kill flying targets. He seems really excited to put them to use.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
