Chapter 53 Legend Of The Miracle Tree!
After hearing the tree spirit's skills, a smile crept up into Nathan's face.
And when he heard the last one Natura mentioned, Nathan immediately thought of a profession from those fantasy games.
An Alchemist!
"So, you guys can any concoct potions?" asked Nathan to make sure he did not hear wrong.
Natura nodded, "Yes, Master! As long as we have the required herbal ingredients, we can make any potion!"
About potions, Nathan saw it before in the system shop.
Add to that the knowledge that he got from games, novels, movies, etc. before which might or might not be true, Nathan knows what potions are.
So hearing that the tree spirits can make them made Nathan excited!
Taking a deep breath, Nathan calmed himself down.
He looked at Natura and said, "Is that all of your abilities?"
To which Natura shook her head.
"No, Master. We, the Tree Spirits, have a lot more abilities. But for now, those that I told you about are what we can currently use at this time."
Nathan understood, it's of no use even if Natura told him now so he let go of the topic.
Looking at the fields, the trees where the tree spirits were born have disappeared. It has now become empty again.
Nathan looked at it thoughtfully before turning to Natura, saying, "Natura, I will now give you and the other tree spirits a task."
Natura immediately became serious after hearing that, "Please tell us, Master!"
Liking 'her' attitude, Nathan nodded his head, "My task is simple. Starting from today, you will be planting those fields with things that I tell you to plant. That will be your main task."
"I understand! We will accomplish the task you gave us, Master!"
With nothing else to say, Nathan was about to leave the space.
But then he suddenly remembered the other seed that the Appraisal failed to appraise.
Turning back to Natura again, Nathan took out the seed as well as the bottle of water.
"Natura, before I go, can you take a look at these?" Nathan showed the things on his hands.
The moment he did, Natura's eyes widened and she rushed towards the seed and the water!
"How can you have these, Master!?" said the shocked Natura.
Nathan was confused, "Huh? Because I found it, why?"
Natura looked directly into Nathan's eyes, "Master, do you really not know what these things are?"
Nathan rolled his eyes and said, "I won't ask you if I know."
Seeing that Nathan seems to be starting to get annoyed, Natura immediately calmed down.
Moving away from the seed, Natura floated in front of him as she bowed her head, "Master, I apologize for my rudeness.
"It is just that, the seed in your hand is something that has only been known to us as a legend. That was why I became so excited after seeing it."
Nathan raised an eyebrow, "A legend? Are you sure that this is really the thing from your legend?"
He looked at the seed on his hands and played with it nonchalantly.
Seeing Nathan's handling of the seed, Natura can't help but become a little uncomfortable as she follows it with her eyes.
Nathan felt amused with her reaction.
Now he is becoming more curious about this seed and the legend that Natura has mentioned.
"So, what's this legend about? Wanna tell me?"
Natura nodded her head like a chicken, "Yes, yes, Master!"
Organizing her thoughts, Natura started to tell about the legend.
"The legend started when the first ever Tree Spirit was born.
"At that time, the first Tree Spirit was born, not just out of any old conscious tree. He was born on what was called the Miracle tree!"
"Miracle Tree?"
"Yes, Master. It is called the Miracle Tree because, from the words of the older spirits, seeing one of those trees is already deemed impossible so if you do see one, it can be considered a miracle.
Another reason for that is the ability of the tree to bear fruit related to whatever you feed it."
While Nathan was listening, he suddenly became confused, "Huh? Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean by feeding a tree?"
Natura paused, looked at Nathan and said with a matter of factly tone, "It is just like what I said, the Miracle tree has a mouth like hole in it where you can drop anything and it will absorb it."
Hearing that did not resolve Nathan's confusion. But for now, he chose to remain silent and continue listening to the story.
"Anything can be absorbed by the Miracle tree, meaning that you can drop anything in it, be it stone or gold, tangible or intangible. It will produce it as fruits." said Natura with some emotion.
Slowly, Nathan understood the importance of this so-called Miracle tree.
So, he asked, "Does that mean, this thing on my hand… is the seed of a Miracle tree?"
Natura smiled with a light in her eyes, while approaching she said, "Yes, Master! It is as you say. In your hand is the seed of the Miracle tree, meaning you will be able to plant a legendary tree that has been deemed impossible to see!"
With Natura's confirmation, excitement seems to flow inside Nathan that he almost yelled out of this feeling!
Choosing to remain calm, Nathan took a few deep breaths before he regained his calmness.
Without saying anything more, Nathan used his thoughts to control the space and the mist once again approached him and took the seed from his hand and planted it beside the thatch house.
Since this is a tree, according to the space, it can be planted anywhere with enough free space.
By putting it near the house, Nathan wants to decorate the lonely house a little to not make it look like an abandoned place.
Thinking of that, Nathan told Natura, "You guys will take care of everything in this place from now on, okay?"
To which she nodded,
"Yes, understood."
