Chapter 16: Nature’s Spirit could not be unlocked, Creature Card!
Looking at Elon’s fake smile, Alan felt extremely comfortable.
Alan wasn’t lucky as he was born into a Noble Family, especially among the great nobles.
After all, kinship was far less attractive than power and gold in a Noble Family.
As a second son whose cultivation talent was considered trash, Alan had endured ridicule from a young age. Of course, Elon, the future heir of the Thorn Flower Family, also didn’t like Alan.
However, Elon was Alan’s brother, so he would not bully him. On the other hand, his high and mighty expression made Alan unhappy for many years.
Now Alan had finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“My dear brother, why would the War God like a Baron like me?”
Alan smiled and took Elon to the wheat field, which was full of magic wheat.
He knew that Elon wanted to check whether he had eaten this magic wheat or not.
“Not bad. This magic wheat has never appeared in the county’s territory, and I have never eaten it either.”
After confirming that the magic wheat was useful for his cultivation, Elon immediately smiled, and his expression became complicated.
He had already discovered that the changes in Rose Town were very huge. Now that Alan had two more natural spirits, he certainly wouldn’t remain ordinary anymore.
“Since you are satisfied, shall we talk about its price, brother?”
Alan smiled brilliantly.
“How about the old price?”
Elon asked tentatively.
“Sure! By the way, dear brother, we have already built a smooth stone road here. What do you say? Can we start our business road plan now?”
“Also, brother, you know my people are too poor. They don’t even have a cow and they can’t even drink milk. I hope you can give me ten cows and some other supplies, such as meat.”
Alan spoke with a smile.
Elon nodded. He could take out some cows and meat.
As for why Alan didn’t buy these things himself?
Cow and meat were precious items. How could Alan afford to buy them when he couldn’t even train a warrior?
“Then, happy cooperation. Oh yes, there should be some good blacksmiths in your territory, right? I need fifty leather armors, long spears, and long swords. Can you order them for me? I will ask Sparrow to pick them up later.”
Alan said with a smile.
He had no choice but to ask his brother because there was no blacksmith in his territory.
“Fifty sets?”
Elon became shocked and looked at Alan with wide eyes. “Are you training warriors?”
Alan nodded and said, “After all, I have a small family property. How can I feel safe if I only have some guards to protect me? After all, I have two spirits of nature!”
Elon’s expression instantly collapsed. No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that Alan was showing off.
However, this reason was completely correct.
“Alright, I will order fifty leather armors, thirty spears, and twenty long swords for you from the best blacksmith in my territory.”
Elon said in a stiff tone.
Alan nodded and said, “Thanks a lot, dear brother.”
He smiled brightly when he saw that Elon was leaving in a hurry.
However, he didn’t fool around for long. He quickly returned to his study after Elon left because he had just thought of some questions.
Can my own Spirit of Nature unlock the species? Wouldn’t I be developed if I unlocked more spirit of nature? Let’s try it.
As soon as he entered the study, he immediately opened the system panel and tried to extract some power from the two nature spirits to unlock the species.
However, the system showed that it was not possible.
This happened because the spirit of nature was a just small thing that was born from the plant’s consciousness and pure natural power.
Essentially, the plants that gave birth to the spirit of nature were their bodies.
In other words, Amy’s actual body was the rose that gave birth to her, and Tyra’s body was the wheat in the wheat plant.
Even if Alan extracted some power from them, he could not extract the plant’s consciousness. As for natural energy, it could not directly unlock species.
“Since I can’t unlock it… Forget it. Now that I have the system, I wouldn’t lack Spirit of Nature and money in the future.”
Alan was not disappointed because he knew that he would have a large number of spirits of nature, eventually.
In fact, he had already unlocked over ten kinds of Monsters and more than thirty species of beasts as well as the dragon species in the system’s species panel.
Alan had unlocked these species by using the genes he had extracted from the fur and bones sent by Elon.
Most of these species were ordinary creatures, and only a few of them could reach the elite level.
Magical beasts were called magical creatures because they already possessed wisdom and they were far more powerful than ordinary beasts.
Ordinary beasts were useless to Alan, and only the Thorn Flower Knights’ warhorses among the elite species were useful to him. These warhorses only cost one Gold coin and this price was reasonable.
As for magical creatures, they were too expensive. Even the cheapest magical beast needed five hundred gold coins.
Alan couldn’t pay such a high price. Fortunately, the system would reward him for unlocking the species.
Every time he unlocked a species, the system would reward that species to him.
Of course, it did not mean that they would immediately appear beside Alan.
Instead, they would appear in Alan’s inventory as a creature card.
He was the one who had asked for it because he couldn’t explain how so many monsters and magical beasts suddenly appeared in his study.
The system had provided him with a solution in the form of a creature card.
Alan had solved this problem by turning all the temporarily unavailable ordinary and magical beasts into creature cards.
However, he had to pay attention to one thing. The creature card was not equal to a creature. Once the creature card was activated the creature could not be placed in the inventory, as it could not store any living thing.
Alan did have another solution to solve this problem. He could place these creatures in a dragon’s nest. The dragon’s nest was also equivalent to storage space, and it could hold living things as well. However, the space of the primary dragon’s nest was not so big, so the things that could be placed in it were still limited.
Right now, Alan had a hundred warhorses, and dozens of various beasts, so he did not need to spend gold coins to buy more warhorses.
A week passed quickly. In this week, Sparrow brought back ten cows, sets of equipment for fifty warriors, and three thousand gold coins.
At the same time, he told Alan that Elon was already sending people to lay out a stone road.
Alan smiled when he heard those words.
“The biggest danger in opening up a business road is the wild beasts in the mountains.”
Now Alan was just waiting for the system notification about the mission.
At that time, those beasts would be the best targets for testing the combat effectiveness of their warriors.
