An expression of deep surprise could be seen in Norgolin's face when Laura explained what the plants could do. Actually, they didn't have much effect by themselves, but when combined, those plants could make an extraordinary potion; The blue plant could gather mana around it more easily, as well as store a little of the mana within its petals. Laura explained that these were used to make mana potions in the human kingdom. The red one could fortify one's body by a considerable amount. Last but most important, the pitch black plant could gather dark mana (a special type of mana made by deathly aura condensed by Battle Power) and become very poisonous along with it.

When condensed into a mixture and later put in the water, the water becomes a dark substance that they had tested out and found that was a kind of power booster! Laura used it on a rabbit; The little animal started emanating an enormous dark power and almost killed two goblins but died right after. It seems this booster had to be used in smaller quantities by strong beings if one wanted to survive after the effects.

Laura assumed these circumstances happened because of the black plant, as she had never heard or read anything about it in the royal library when she was with the king. They had discovered this plant in a place where a fierce battle had occurred. They found 30 Spiked Iron Lions and ten of these plants. After further investigation, it turned out to be a battle between these lions and another group of the same species, a territorial battle; Even though it was rare to find such a large group of lions, it wasn't impossible.

The scientists figured out a way to extract two seeds from each specimen and deduced a sprouting period of two months for each one, but to grow, these plants needed to be placed in an environment of constant battle and death. This fact was found out in a cruel way, using some hungry rats, so hungry that they resorted to cannibalism and started killing each other.

Enough with the information dump, Norgolin asked for two such potions and kept them on his improvised utility belt just for emergencies. Proceeding, he ordered them to experiment these potions on the magical wolves.

After Leaving, our protagonist went to were Diana usually was in her free time, the lake. There she was, bathing like always, without any clothes nearby. Everyone in Norgolin's village got accustomed to walking around naked, even Laura and Alom; The goblin culture influenced them deeply, and the girls liked not having to wear these horrible bras the goblin made for them. Those definitely just hurt them and didn't execute their functions properly. Why am I explaining this? Anyway, let's continue.

''Hey beauty, wassup?''

''Hey Green little beast, came here to have some fun?'' Diana said, smiling.

''Guessed right, I am too stressed these days'' Norgolin said as he jumped into the water. The lake was very big, despite being in the middle of the forest. They started kissing, then they talked a little and had sex for two hours.

Just as they were about to leave, Diana had an idea. ''Why don't we call Laura and Alom to have some fun too? We rarely have such good opportunities in this village, right?'' She was getting quite close to Laura, as she was the only girl from a different girl in the place.

Norgolin liked the idea, rushing to call Laura and Alom. When they arrived, already naked, the pair was immediately jumped into the lake.

The group talked and played around childishly for hours until night arrived. then, they made a campfire and cooked some rabbit meat, while talking in a relaxed way, releasing all the stress from the past days. Now, they looked exactly like a beautiful group of young friends having fun under the moon, which shone its light in the lake, making a wonderful scene.

Very few people in the world had the opportunity to be so free to the point of being able to walk around naked without any need to feel ashamed, hug friends and have fun in such a beautiful, isolated lake. These moments were what made living isolated in a forest worth it.

The next morning, the group woke up and went to work, except for Diana. She just stood there, gazing at the sky. Our dear succubus actually started to shed tears. 'I have to cherish such good friends, I wouldn't find these guys even in one thousand years back at the demon empire'. Of all people in the village, she was the happiest. Little work to do, a lot of sex with any goblin she wanted, including the never-tiring Norgolin, freedom to have fun as she wanted and daily improvement on her magic.

Deep in the forest, somewhere near the northern mountains, a group of icy blue, tailed humanoid figures seemed to run from something or someone.

A little girl tripped and fell. A womanly person that seemed to be her mother got desperate.

'' GRAB MY HAND '' She shouted as she gave the girl her hand; The girl held it tightly and both kept running.

Behind these two, an enormous figure ran, Ice spikes were thrown in a angry way.
