When I finished handing out potions I was exhausted. I sold the potions in my bag and got some food and water out of it. Marcus came up to me.

" Thanks for your help. Here is what we agreed upon."

20 people appeared each carrying a skill book. There was a skill book for swords, axes, shields, blacksmith, archery, alchemy, etc. They didn't have anything I would like so I just took the earth magic skill book. It might be able to help me with the plants. When I grabbed it the other books were taken away. I turned to Marcus.

" Thanks for keeping your agreement. I will need you to return the bottles when I show up next month since if you don't I will soon run out."

" I understand. We will make your potions last for as long as we can until you return."

I soon left but I made sure to say goodbye to lily. I ran into a few kobolds that attacked me but I made short work of them. I put their corpses on the carriage and continued towards the hospital. When I got there I had the rats take the kobold carcasses to get ready to grow plants. I need to wait for a while till I can make potions so I need to do something until then. I took out the skill book I got and started reading. I finished it in a few hours.

SKILL LEARNED

EARTH MAGIC LV. 1 (0/50)

STONE BULLET (LEARNED)

When I checked out the skill it was the same as the alchemy skill. I understood some of it while the rest was hidden. I went outside and tried out the stone bullet. What appeared was a pebble that shot off at extreme speed. It hit a tree and made a hole. But when I went up to it the hole was a a few centimeters deep. I guess if my enemy has scales or is extremely muscular or fat then the stone bullet is useless.

But I found out I just need to keep using it to level the skill up. For the next couple of weeks I just used earth magic. I was able to just keep firing due to my mana being so high. When I ran out I took a nap and my mana was full when I woke and I would continue firing. With each level up I would learn new spells and previous spells would gain more power behind it. I learned how to make bogs, how to soften or harden dirt, make dirt take shape, cause earthquakes at level 9, then I reached level 10.

DING

SKILL LEVEL UP

EARTH MAGIC LV 10

CREATE GOLEM (NORMAL) (LEARNED)

CREATE GOLEM (LARGE) (LEARNED)

CREATE GOLEM (GIANT) (LEARNED)

I can finally relax. This has taught me the more mana you use in a short time the more headaches you gain. This is the downside of having a lot of mana. I don't know if the headaches will go away if I just keep using mana but I don't wanna find out. I looked at my new magic spells. It seems the 10th level gives dirt sentience. The normal golem is about my size with enough strength to be called a bodybuilder. The large golem is double my size with muscles that makes one think of a bulldozer. The giant golem is just under a dragons height. It basically looked like a giant boulder.

I was a little down since I thought earth magic might help me with my plants. But now I can summon an army. I guess I get both a gain and a loss to this deal. I need to talk to Marcus about finding a skill book that might help plants grow. Anyway, I headed inside and the plants were ready. I made some potions but not many since Marcus's people have a good amount of my bottles.

When I finished with the potions I realized I had nothing to do. I am scheduled to go to that rafsen place in just over a week. But from now till then I have nothing to do. I stood around till I decided what I will do for now. I will go after the plant needed for the invincible potion. From my knowledge this plant needs to live through a thousand battle fields. That is the troublesome thing about this plant. Who the hell fights in the same exact spot a thousand times. I can't use people as my guess is there isn't enough numbers for this.

Animals and monsters are also pretty scarce around here. What can I have fight that would cause a battle to keep occurring a thousand times? Then a thought hit me.

THE SEA!!! THEY HAVE TONS OF LIFE IN THE OCEANS!! IF I USE SOMETHING AS BAIT I CAN GET WHATS IN THE WATER TO FIGHT NONSTOP FOR IT!

I then grabbed a plant called fan needle. It's like a miniature tree. But the leaves look like hand held fans and is sharp like steel. It is one of the few plants that can become the plant I need. Platinum bark is the plant used for the invincibility potion and this fan needle has the potential to become it. I just need bait and a way to keep the plant safe. This is gonna be hard.
