Since Rezen is not aware of how extensive the Chief's knowledge was, he absolutely cannot answer truthfully. After all, even he still doesn't know just how 'special' his mana was

However, there is one thing that Rezen knows. A special ability at the hands of a weakling is nothing but trouble in most cases

Rezen cannot deny what he had already done and there is only one thing he could do

"I-I... I don't know. I... I just felt that if I let the seed absorb my mana... s-something will happen..." Rezen replied as if he was really shocked at his own action and its result

He stared at his palm then glanced at the potato plant before staring at his palm again

"W-why... h-how did I do that..." he mumbled lowly but it was still loud enough for the Chief to hear

"Rezen..." the Chief's tone became harsher than before, she wants to pry on Rezen's secret but before she could do so, Rezen already upped his acting game

"A-argh....!"

Suddenly, Rezen clutched his head as if he was in pain. He made sure to project an extremely pained expression to the point that the veins on his face were already popping

It was as if he was experiencing the most painful headache in the world with how hard he held his head while groaning in pain

"Oh no!"

"What's happening?"

"We can't lose the healer!"

The tribesmen that don't know much immediately gathered around Rezen. They don't know what to do to help but they still went close to him

The tribesmen are not knowledgeable enough to be of help and the only thing that they could do was to stare at Rezen and watch him suffer in 'pain'

Fortunately, they didn't have to do much. After a few seconds, Rezen acted as if he lose all of his energy

His eyes rolled back as he passed out

The tactic he chose to do was the retreat tactic. Rezen has to act as if trying to remember something is detrimental to his health

With Rezen losing consciousness, the tribe panicked, they don't know what they should do

"Take him back to his hut!" The Chief ordered

None of the tribesmen has the knowledge to cure a person. Not to mention, they don't even know what happened to Rezen

The only thing they could do was hope that Rezen would wake up and recover on his own

——-

Despite how boring it was, Rezen still took his time. Only after a few hours had passed did he 'regain' his consciousness

"Finally! Finally, you're awake!"

The first thing that Rezen heard was Treen's delighted voice

"I'm glad you're awake!" Treen's voice was followed by Jenna

Aside from Yvter, the people that brought Rezen to the tribe along with Treen stayed inside his hut to monitor his situation

"T-thank you" Rezen said as he 'try' to sit on his bed that is just a collection of dried grass

"What happened back then? We were very worried about you!" Treen asked the important question and since Rezen was actually conscious for the few hours that he was unconscious, he already knows how to answer that question

"I-I was trying to remember how I had the power to make plants grow faster but whenever I try to recover my memories, I always suffer"

"This is common for people with amnesia. The more we try to remember something, the more we would suffer and some even went insane"

"Sigh... as a healer, I know what I could and could not do but I still tried to recover my memories"

In the end, Rezen sighed as if he was scolding himself for being stubborn

If he showed that he could lose himself if he try to recover his memories, people would be less suspicious. This is the best course of action he could take right now

Fortunately, as a healer, Rezen knew better and he has credibility. If he were to say something concerning one's health, the tribe would definitely believe him and that is what happening right now

It took Rezen some effort to convince Jenna and the others that he was alright to shoo them away from his hut

Luckily, acting as if he needed to rest worked and they decided to give him the space and time he needed

As soon as Rezen was finally alone, he immediately took out several beast skin pouches from his bed of dried grass

For now, he could use his amnesia to dodge some things but he doesn't plan to only and forever rely on acting to survive

Rezen has to start to recover his farm and magic. The sooner he recovers them, the better!

With that determination, Rezen tied the pouches on his belt made from tree vines. These are the weapons that he would rely on since he basically has no attacking power

After tying all the pouches, Rezen sprinkled some Juta Powder on his body

It was a powder that would help minimize his presence that would help him sneak out of the tribe

The Juta Powder imitated the Spirit Plant that Rezen used after he entered the Savage Beast Realm

It could be considered as the Spirit Plant's imitation that was created using other ingredients but the effects were much weaker

Even then, the powder is still effective against the tribesmen since most of them are just at the Apprentice Rank

As for the Junior Mages, as long as Rezen is careful and they are not particularly watching his actions, they would not notice anything

With slow footsteps, Rezen walked out of his hut. He saw that there were some tribesmen that gathered around his hut as if they were protecting him

The Juta Powder is not an invisibility powder but the effects were close. Rezen's presence was minimized extremely

Unless Rezen touch the tribesmen or he stood literally in front of them, they wouldn't notice his presence at all

Rezen made sure to be careful and in the end, he succeeded at escaping the tribe's periphery as he went deeper into the forest

"Ivy, can you help me find a mine of mana stones?" Rezen asked as he run into the forest

"Ivy can't help Master in that regard, Master should gather the required mana stones by himself" the fairy answered back causing Rezen to frown

While this measure was for his sake so that he wouldn't grow complacent again, if there is an easier way, who wouldn't want to use it, right?

If Ivy decided to help him, Rezen would be able to recover faster than normal

As such, Rezen stopped running for now as he rested his back on a tree to think

The required mana stones were astronomical. If he was still on the earth realm, that many mana stones is nothing to him but things are different now

He doesn't have the power nor the backing to secure that number of mana stones. If a weakling holds too much wealth, they would just attract trouble

"What should I do..." Rezen mumbled while biting his fingernail. His mind was focused on thinking

"What resources do I have now? I have alchemical products and Ivy has its database. How do I make use of these things to achieve my goal fast?"

Rezen stood for minutes while trying to think. He had not seen even a single mana stone from the tribe and he could concur that the tribe is too small to have that kind of resources

The only thing he could rely right now was the forest but even if he were to substitute the mana stones with Spirit Plants just how many Spirit Plants does he have to gather? It would literally take years

"Wait, Ivy's database..."

While Ivy wouldn't tell Rezen everything, Rezen could still ask questions to it. If he cannot get a direct answer, he could use a different route

"Ivy, what are the Spirit Plants that grew at a place with an abundant number of mana stones?" Rezen asked and almost instantly, a long list was projected directly to his vision

"While I go and explore the forest, I want you to survey the surroundings and prioritize searching for any of these Spirit Plants"

"..."

"Ivy"

"Understood, Master"

With Ivy's affirmation, Rezen can't help but smirk. He outsmarted the restrictions placed on Ivy!

While Ivy couldn't search for mana stone mines it doesn't matter now. Rezen just has to order Ivy to search for Spirit Plants that grew on the said mines

Ivy's functions are its database and also its ability to search for Spirit Plants and Rezen utilized them for his own benefit

If Ivy were to discover any of the Spirit Plants on the list, the most likely scenario is that Ivy also discovered a deposit of mana stones that Rezen badly needed

This would ensure that gathering the required mana stones to recover the farm would be faster than just using Spirit Plants that Rezen encountered in the wild
