Chapter 385 - Creating A Forest

And so, I brought Celestine, Kayla, Angela, and Carmen to where the lake is. We're going to make a mountain and river.

Is it possible? Well, it's magic after all.

And with Kayla's wand, it should be doable.

"So, that's the lake. It's big, but not as big as the lake I trained in before," I said while we are on Spot's back flying to the lake.

As for the settlement, I left the other kings to watch how the elves work and get to know with the elves and the werewolves. They need to know who the monsters that will be our allies against the cult. And there might be more!

"So, how will we make the river?" Angela asked.

"For a river, the water needs to flow from a higher place, to a lower terrain. We might need to make a small lake later for the end of the river. The lake this size should contain a lot of water, but we don't know if they will come endlessly or not. And we need to see whether the water is safe to be drunk or not," Kayla said.

Well, she's smart as usual. Now, we can have a plan. To make a small river that ends on an artificial lake.

"How about making the elves move over here instead? That will be easier, right?" Angela asked.

It's rare for someone like Angela to ask a smart question. Is she getting smarter as well?

"They said that their safety is the most important thing for them. That's why they need the Werewolves. As for the Werewolves, if I told them to move, they will move. But if I said that we have to move because of the elves, the werewolves will think that the elves are too cocky to ask their king to do what they want," I explained.

"Being a king is difficult, isn't it?" Angela said.

"Yes, it is. Kayla, what should we do first? Raise a mountain, creating a path for the river, or creating artificial lake for the end of the river?" I asked Kayla, our strategist this time.

"We'll see first if the water in the lake is safe for consumption. Carmen, can you do it?" Kayla asked Carmen.

"Yes. I can tell if any water is safe to drink or not," Carmen said.

Really? Being a water mage is really convenient, isn't it? if her drinks are poisoned, she can tell and won't drink it. And she can also create her own water. I'm so jealous.

Oh, wait. I'm jealous of mage of other elements as well. Well, let's forget about it.

After arriving at the lake, Carmen checked if the water is safe, and it is.

It's not just Carmen who can do it. Spot can tell if the water is safe to drink or not as well. Though the werewolves have been drinking water from that lake for centuries. It should be fine.

As for the monsters inside the lake, I don't think any of them are a big problem. I guess it's safe.

And then, we flew on Spot's back to a good location where the river should end. Kayla decided it to be right in the middle of where the elves will build the forest.

I guess that's a good idea. Let's ask Tia about it.

But the fact that Kayla never doubted that we can build a mountain, a river, and a lake is pretty amazing. She must have thought of a good plan to do it.

To think that there will be a day where I will build a forest, a mountain, a lake, and a river… I'm surrounded by amazing people, aren't I?

"Oh, that would be a good idea. We have some plant seeds useful for the lake as well," Tia said.

I guess that's decided. The lake will be where the border between the elves village and the werewolves' settlement is.

As for the meeting place, we will build it next to the lake.

"Alright, let's do it!" I shouted in excitement.

"Ah, Roy! You don't need to help us. We can do everything with magic," Kayla said.

… I'm a sad man now.

She's right though. They can just travel with Spot. And they don't need me to carry anything since Kayla's wand is extremely useful here with not having the user to feel the weight of the soil they are carrying.

And she refused me when I said I can help with the portal. She says that it's a training.

Kayla goes to where the artificial lake will be made, and with the help of Angela and Celestine, she made a giant robot even bigger than that time she fought Angela with. That robot will be used to make the mountain.

There's some part of the robot that was made by a huge stone. Well, a mountain can't be made with just soil.

But how will they raise a lake?

Each time the giant robot arrives at the lake, our earth mages raised the ground little by little. And Carmen helped to raise the lake as well.

And there's nothing I can do, so I just watch the progress.

It's been a week since then, and the mountain, river, and lake are finished. Now, we just need to open a path from the lake so the water can flow in the river.

And so, the kings take another day off to watch the creation of the river. We are all riding on Spot's back. Except for the werewolves and the elves who are waiting at the artificial lake. They have become closer over the past week.

We arrived at the mountain, and see at the end of the river, there's a wall blocking the water from the lake to enter the river. We just need to destroy it.

I jumped from Spot's back carrying Kayla who will do the honor of opening the path.

With her earth magic, the wall sunk and the water flow into the river. I quickly carried Kayla back to ride Spot again.

"Let's chase the water!" Spot said excitedly.

We not only raised the lake. We had Carmen to increase the volume of water little by little every day, so even after the water flow into the river, the lake won't dry and still have a lot of water left.

Spot flew as fast as the water coming down. We above just watched the beauty of a river we just created.

Finally, as the water reached the lake, everyone cheered in unison. Both elves, werewolves, and humans as well.

"Now, we can build a forest!" Tia exclaimed.

We come down from the sky and watched how the elves and Sunny create the forest.

Sunny turns into a giant in the middle of where the forest will be, and she… absorbing power from the sun, I guess?

The elves then started chanting some unknown language, which is probably the source of their plant magic. And soon enough, the wasteland suddenly changed into a grassland. And seeds started sprouting, and slowly growing into a tree.

That's amazing. Although I'm not a farmer, I don't think the soil here was supposed to be a good place for forest to grow. But the elves changed that with their magic.

And then, after Sunny absorbed enough power from the sun, Sunny faced down to the newly made grassland, and turns bright as she's sending the power of the sun. Or at least that's what I think.

The sprouts' growth then accelerated, and become trees. One meter, two meters, and they stopped at three meters of height.

"I think that's the limit of the Great Yellowsun can do at the moment. But this should be enough for us to live in," Tia said.

"THAT WAS AMAZING! YOU CREATED A FOREST OUT OF NOWHERE!" Jewel shouted.

Well, this is truly an amazing experience, so I will let her be. She's allowed to scream for now.

"It's done already?" I asked Tia.

"Not yet. The trees are still unable to bear fruits yet. They need to grow more. Maybe we need the Great Yellowsun's help one more time so the trees are fully matured. Only then, we can use our plant magic to grow some fruits. The one we used previously are only to make the trees grow faster, not to make them bear fruits," Tia explained.

I guess there are other plant magic that the elves can do.

At least witnessing this amazing event is great to show what the elves can do. We have witnessed how easy it is for them to grow crops.

As of now, building their homes come first.

"I guess that's it. Tomorrow, Spot, Victoria, and I will visit the angels. Shelia will stay here with the werewolves and the elves. I will summon you when I need you," I said.

"Okay," Shelia replied.

"The kings will go back to their own homes. As for everyone else… you can do whatever you want. Lina can come and go to this place whenever she wants. If any of you want to come, just ask Lina. I will be busy," I said.

Let's go greet the angels, shall we?
