CH.0005 - Mystic Plants And Rich Forest
"You must be kidding. Nearly a 2,000-year-old ginseng cannot be just sitting under a tree waiting to be picked up! ...
Plus six of them. Today must be my lucky day. haha"
Ezar couldn't help laughing a little, expressing his surprise and joy, after he stopped 30 meters from the tree where the ginseng had grown and confirmed the information from his soul vision with his eyes.
It was quite normal for him to be surprised because a mystic plant that had grown by absorbing mana from its surroundings for more than 2,000 years was standing right in front of him as if waiting for someone to come and collect it.
---Haaaa
When Ezar remembered the time and effort he had spent growing a mystic plant in the earth, he could not help but let out a pessimistic sigh.
It was not possible to put every planet in this universe and every world in which conscious beings live in the same status.
Worlds are divided into 3 different groups based on their mana level and mana wealth: Level 3 Worlds, Level 2 Worlds, and Level 1 Worlds.
Among them, the 3rd level worlds have just completed their mana conversion and contain a low level of mana, while the 1st level worlds have completed their mana conversion a long time ago and contain a high amount of mana.
Unusually, although it can be found in worlds that are classified as level 2 or even 1 due to having a medium or high amount of mana right after the mana transformation, it is considered an exceptional situation as such cases are extremely rare.
Unlike Lumos, which was a world that had completed its mana conversion, the earth was the world that had just begun its mana conversion, and in a world that had not completed its mana conversion, it was impossible to come across a mystic plant that grew by absorbing mana from its surroundings.
It was not possible for a world to spread mana until it had completed its mana transformation, and it was impossible for living things to contain mana during this time.
Of course, as in all cases, there were exceptions in this case too and Ezar was at the forefront of these exceptions.
On the day he turned 15, a voice he heard in his head presented him with a choice and said that if he agreed to be a world protector of the earth until it completed its mana transformation, he would be rewarded with an item that would help him become stronger in return and that he would reach a power that other people could not even imagine in time.
Although he still has not learned the source and identity of the voice he heard, the voice did not lie to him, and in time, it had reached a power that other people could not even imagine. Although he had the ability to absorb mana from the outer space of the earth thanks to the abilities he acquired, the same was not true for other creatures on the earth.
Therefore, Ezar had no choice but to use his own mana to cultivate mystic herbs, which he used to cultivate his own spira and to produce alchemical tablets that he used in his wars against external enemies.
Especially in the first centuries of his protection, even thinking of the times when he was not able to create and use diagrams yet, instilled mana into each plant one by one was enough to give Ezar goosebumps.
It is not difficult to understand why Ezar felt astonished and delighted to see a plant that he once had to wait for 2,000 years to cultivate, now growing under a tree in a small forest.
After calming his sense of surprise and joy, instead of walking toward the ginseng, Ezar turned his back to the tree and started walking in the opposite direction. After taking 5-6 steps he stopped, bent down and took a palm-sized stone from the ground, and turned his direction back to the tree.
Staring between the leaves and branches of the tree, Ezar threw his right foot back, leaning his body back, and suddenly swung his right arm into the leaves of the tree which he never took his eyes off.
--- Bang
--- Pat, pat, pat
The stone that was thrown out of his hand with the effect of the tension in his body and the strength of the arm he swung, moved forward with an unbelievable sound, disappeared into the leaves of the tree, and fell to the ground with the bark pieces of the tree trunk after the loud sound it made when it hit the tree trunk.
Even after the stone fell to the ground, Ezar did not move from his place, and even while he was flexing his right shoulder, he kept his eyes on the leaves of the tree.
[Even though I have the techniques and knowledge from my past, my body cannot adapt well enough. It seems that I need to improve my body as soon as possible, otherwise, my body may not be able to keep up with my techniques and get injured.]
Shortly after the stone hit the ground, a white object hit the branches of the tree and began to fall down.
If you look closely, you could notice that this object, with its thin legs and green bark with black spots, was a spider. However, unlike the spiders on the earth, this spider was as big as an adult human's head.
[It would be foolish to think that around 2,000-year-old ginseng there is no creature protecting it or using it to attract prey.
It should not be overlooked that the soul vision is very useful in such matters though.

As long as it is within the limits of my soul vision, I don't need to fear the stealth attacks of any creature.]
After ruling out the danger that awaited him, he quickly approached the spider, which was standing still on the ground.
He opened the spider's mouth with a piece of twig he picked up from the ground. A purple liquid dripping from my spider's mouth fell on one of the small stones on the ground, and then it made smoke and passed through the stone within seconds and reached the ground.
[It has highly acidic saliva. It can kill even an adult in 2-3 seconds with an attack from the neck. Looks like I'll have to be more careful.
While protecting the earth from external attacks, I fought thousands of times stronger monsters and beasts but now neither my strength nor my body is comparable to my old state.
One wrong move could cost me my life if I'm not careful.]
After examining the spider Ezar started walking towards the ginseng. He knelt next to the ginsengs and quickly began to collect them.
Although this sudden gift made him happy, Ezar still hadn't forgotten his true purpose. He had to reach his house as soon as possible and check the situation there.
After carefully and quickly collecting 6 ginseng, Ezar encountered a new problem. He didn't have a bag with him, so he didn't have anything to store and carry.
After scanning his surroundings in despair, Ezar's gaze shifted to his clothes. The clothes on it were similar to the clothes of the earth's classical medieval European period.
He wore a rather ordinary style of dressing, wearing a white long shirt with narrowed wrists, wide sleeves, and a long unbuttoned black waistcoat wrapped with a dark gray waistband over his ordinary-looking black fabric trousers.
Silver embroideries on his shirt showed that the outfit was quite luxurious, but the embroideries that had faded with the wear of time were no longer as eye-catching as before.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Ezar took the waistband off his waist, opened it, and laid it on the ground. After pouring all the ginseng inside, Ezar rolled up his waistband and threw it over his shoulder, and set off again.
With the help of his soul vision, Ezar returned to his old course in a short time and this time determined to return home without delay. At least for the next 5 minutes.
5 minutes after collecting the ginsengs and setting off again, he encountered a mystic herb that astonished him again.
On a nearby pond, a blood-red lotus flower stood harmlessly, as if waiting for someone to come and fetch it unless we counted on the yellow and obviously poisonous frog lurking in the nearby bushes.
[Fire element mystic plant; Flame Spirit Lotus Flower. Moreover, it is 5,500 years old. It's... Huh... I can't even find the words to express it anymore. Is Lumos already a level 1 world?]
After the danger was taken care of with a stone that quickly split the air, Ezar gathered the lotus flower and set off again. At least for a while.
The seed of the Kuka tree. 1,200 years old. Its guardian was a 25-centimeter-tall earthworm. Taken care of with a stone. Gathered.

----------
Ezar, who was standing at the entrance of a rocky valley after about 4 rabas (40 minutes), had 14 different kinds of mystic plants in his waistband hanging on his shoulder.
"This valley... Something wrong about this place."
