Chapter 1598 Learning About The Village In The Middle Of The Desert

Chapter 1598 Learning About The Village In The Middle Of The Desert

[AUTHOR NOTES (IMPORTANT)]: So yesterday I uploaded the wrong chapters, those chapters which were much much later in the story, I've edited them so you can check them again. I'm very sorry for this.

"Don't worry about it, really." I said while shrugging. "More importantly, I've learned about your hospitality and the food you've given me was very humble, yet good. I shall share mine as well."

"S-Share? But where?" Asked Arianne.

"Here!"

I opened my Item Box, bringing out tons of meat, bread, vegetables, fruits, wine, and even juice, tea, and other spices. I had purchased large quantities of food in the elven Kingdom, they have so much food that they were selling it at a very cheap price. I have enough to feed an entire country for at least a month stored inside my Item Box!

"F-Food… This is food…! So much food…!" Cried Ariant.

"Oh my…" Arianne almost fell into the floor.

"W-Wait, grandma, hang on!" Cried Eriant.

After Arianne woke up, we decided to cook something for everybody. Using my Cooking Skill was the best opportunity now, as I decided to make some delicious stew for everyone, alongside some toasts, and vegetable salad and fruit salad.

The entire group, including Fiere, began to dig in almost immediately. The food was completely different than the dry meat and hard bread that barely filled one's belly. The food comforted their hearts and made them smile.

For some reason, seeing these people smile also made me smile.

I've grown softer, huh?

"Hahhh… This is delicious… Is Kireina-sama a goddess? She must be a goddess!" Arianne began saying as she tried to pray to me.

"Fufu, well, I kind of am!" I said selfishly. However, Fiere quickly gave me a very sharp look.

"Please don't misunderstand, Lady Kireina is very strong but she is no goddess." Said Fiere.

"H-Hey!" I said, but she ignored my complains.

"Well, to me, she's certainly a goddess. We had gone through so much hunger these last years that it is incredible to see so much food brought to our plates… This day, I will remember it forever within my heart." Sighed Arianne with a smile.

"Are you guys really going through hunger?" I wondered. "What about your crops? Aren't you farming endemic plants that are edible?"

"We used to, but as we told you before, Kireina-sama, those were destroyed by the Walking Cactuses." Sighed Eriant.

"I see… But do you guys do not have any Earth or Nature Magician out there that can make plants grow faster?" I wondered.

"Well, some of our tribe members are proficient at Earth Magic, but most can only do the very basics such as creating bricks by shaping sand. I am one of the few that can dig through sand using magic and create sinkholes and other things. I helped build this village's houses with the rest as I can turn sand into a mud-like material." Said Arianne. "My Level is only 33, however. My two twins here are my pride and joy, as they had grown very strong after leveling up inside of dangerous dungeons through my rigorous training since they were children."

"Can you two do something about the crops?" I wondered.

However, the twins seemed to have no power over nature magic or anything of the sort. I had Purification with me and that was it. Of course, I also had 400+ Skill Points and a Skill Library, so I had access to many Skills. I had tried back then learning Earth Manipulation and other things, but it resulted being quite hard to bring anything out.

I ended settling down with the basic's elements instead, but maybe I should try getting Earth Magic Skills to help these people get their crops going. And maybe gift them summoned beasts for meat, it wouldn't be bad.

However, one of the things I've learned back then when I was constantly trying to bring out a magic element was that I needed image. A mental image of an element helps more than anything else.

"I see… I think I could help you get all of that back up together." I said.

"Y-You can?!" Asked Arianne, the two twins felt suddenly nervous.

"W-Wait a second Kireina-sama, this is enough! You don't really need to help us anymore!" Said Ariant.

"Y-Yeah! What about your friends? Aren't you in a mission to defeat the Demon King?" Asked Eriant.

"Yeah, yeah, it won't take me more than a few hours to help you. And it's not like I can't go anywhere, I am waiting for Luminous to come here after all." I said with a nod.

"I see… But can you really do such a thing?" Arianne seemed completely doubtful, thinking I was just bullshitting maybe.

If we had Elfina with us here, things would be even easier, as she has Nature and Life Magic of high level, so she could easily help the people grow plants and vegetables, and even a whole forest… I don't know if I could do the same. Wait, or can I?

First of all, I want to learn a single Earth Attribute Spell, and then I'll just shape it around into what I want to do…

"Alright guys, then I have a favor, show me your Earth Magic." I said.

"Earth Magic?"

The trio of desert elves quickly led me to the backyard, as Arianne was the first one.

"Like this… I can make a [Dirt Block]."

She suddenly shaped the mana of her own soul, imbued it into the sand, gathered it, compacted it, and then formed a block of it.

"I see… Like this then…"

I gathered the mana as well and did the same. It wasn't hard at all, and in mere seconds, a Block of Hardened Sand was created.

Ding!

[You have learned the [Dirt Block: Lv1] Magic Skill!]

-----

[Dirt Block: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

By gathering Mana and infusing it into a mass of any type of ground, earth, dirt, sand, and the like, you can create a block of roughly 25x25 centimeters. The shape and size can be changed depending in the control over Mana while creating the Block. The Skill Level increases the precision and automatization of the Skill usage.

"I got it!" I said triumphantly, quickly creating several dirt blocks one after the other.

POP! POP! POP! POP!
