Limits

Chapter 399

I turned towards the Warriors Leader, and said "With this, you are now able to send your people, right?". He nodded while replying, "Yes. I still need to leave my warriors here, but to make up for the past, I will send about half of our warriors". I nodded, then said "That is great, They can come with me, I will be heading towards Sedon anyway". With that taken care of, I turned towards Ulon. "Don't be manipulated by anyone. War is scary, I already experienced that first hand. But just because it's scary, does that mean we should simply give up?".

Ulon shook his head, and replied "No, you are right. It will be different now, what do I have to lose anyway? I wouldn't be here, if not for you". I smiled in response, and said "There is one more thing we need. Ulon, Sedon needs herbs. I'm not asking you to give me what you have here, I just want a few people to come with me. I already planted some stuff in Sedon, and Shades take care of that… But they are not you guys. It was you who taught me everything about your plants".

He replied "Thanks to your water delivery system, we don't have as much workload anymore. I can send a few people there no problem". I added "There is one more thing… I need those methods of growing Fraction Leader's herbs". I could see the struggle on his face. The knowledge was meant for the Fraction Leader alone after all. I continued "Not for free. I understand that this is your knowledge, and it is your secret. Therefore, I'm willing to share some of mine. In other words, I will teach you how to make medicine properly".

He looked at me shocked for a while. When he snapped out of it, he asked "You can do that?". I replied, "We all have to make compromises here. You might need that knowledge, just as much as I need yours. Therefore, I'm willing to share". Ulon nodded his head, and agreed to my proposal. I would only teach him how to make medicine from the plants he had available. I wouldn't teach him about Extracts. The medicine I made, was still far better than what they made.

I managed to accomplish all my goals in Apium. The only thing remaining, was to recruit some craftsmen for Sedon. 'Although most of them will not agree, I think I know one, who will. If she does, and takes a few people with her, this will be sorted as well' I thought. I was about to leave, but then I recalled something. "Ulon, I will need Serelis. Oh! By the way, I found out how to store Serelis". Ulon was even more shocked, he asked "You did what?". I replied with a smile, "You will see, I will show you how later on. For now, I need to recruit some craftsmen. I'll be back after I deal with that". He just nodded his head. I said farewell to both of them, and left.

I headed straight to the craftsmen working area. I knew that most, if not all of them would ignore me. Therefore, I wanted to talk with one specific person only. Ama was as usual working on some sort of project. None of her workers even looked at me, when I stepped up to them. I said "Long time no see, Ama. It seems you are still at it, under the same guy I suppose?".

She didn't turn around, but asked anyway "Who are you?". I replied "Don't you remember? I visited you guys a few years ago. Maybe you will remember if I mention water delivery system?". She stopped her work, and just stared at the piece of wood. A while later, she replied "I can't speak with you". I didn't take it to heart, and said what I wanted to say. "I'm here to give you an opportunity. If you stay here, all that awaits you are orders. If you come with me, I will make you a head of construction in Sedon. You will be giving orders, while improving your skills with more challenging tasks. I'd say that's a better perspective, compared to building shacks".

She turned around, with visible expression of struggle on her face. She wanted more for sure. She had the talent to reach higher grounds, but her boss simply limited her. Although she must've been aware of that, she still struggled. It was understandable, Apium was her home after all. Then we heard a shout, "Ama! What are you doing? Go back to work, and don't slack off with this stranger!".

I replied "Oh, isn't that the old friend with questionable mood?". It was the guy I supposedly offended in the past. He didn't change at all. Oran looked at me for a while, then replied "Who do you think you are? Get lost, no one will follow you anywhere". I appeared next to him, and grabbed him by his neck. "The tone you use is annoying. I can kill half of you here, and still leave this place unharmed. Choose your words carefully, because your life is at stake", I stated then threw him away like a rag doll. He crashed into the ground with a grunt, but didn't pick himself up immediately.

I turned towards Ama while asking, "How could you tolerate such guy for so many years? That's a mystery to me. Either way, I'm not forcing you. I'm only giving you an opportunity". The guy I just threw away, finally picked himself up and exclaimed. "You are threatening her! She will not go with you". I appeared next to that guy again and said, "I told you to choose your words appropriately, didn't I?". "Swoosh", his arm was cut off. He screamed like a pig during slaughter. I tapped a few of his pressure points, and left him there.

I began walking away while saying, "It's your choice Ama, not his". As I was about to leave their area, I heard "Wait!". A smile appeared on my face, and I stopped. Ama continued, "I will take that opportunity! I don't want to be a simple worker, I want to be known too. I want to leave my name in history as well. I will go with you". She then turned towards her workers, and asked "Will you guys go too? Although war is scary, but it's an opportunity at the same time. They need us at Sedon, someone actually needs us! People there will be grateful to have us, not like here. What do you guys say?".

A few of the workers looked at each other, and dropped their tools. They replied, "We will go too!". I turned around, and said "Good, follow me. We will be leaving soon". Altogether, I managed to get myself four craftsmen. Ama was a very good craftsman, she had the drive and the talent to work in this field. Although she mostly worked with wood, so Sedon's walls would be a challenge for her. But, all beings required challenges. 'If we don't challenge ourselves, we will never grow' I thought.

The small group took whatever was theirs, and followed me. Others stared in awe, while the guy whose arm I cut off, fainted long time ago. We left towards the Warriors Fraction place. Inside, I spoke with the Leader. "Can you take care of these four for me? I don't want them to walk in the open, someone might do something to them. After all, they accepted my opportunity". He nodded then replied, "Certainly. No one will harm them here". I thanked him, then turned towards Ama and others. "You guys stay here for now. I'm not sure what that idiot would do, that's just for safety". Ama nodded, but didn't reply.

I left them there, and headed to Ulon's place. He was alone inside, and seemed to be looking through some books. I asked with a smile "Sorting through the knowledge I seek?". He looked up, and replied "I just want to make sure you get what you need. Either way, these are the books we have on that matter. I can't let you take them, but you can copy some crucial parts, and then destroy that copy when you learn how its done".

I shook my hand, and said "That won't be necessary, just show me the books". He became confused, but passed me the books nevertheless. I read through them one after the other. The processes of taking care and growing those special herbs, was not that complicated. I memorized the processes, and gave him the books back. "Is it not what you were looking for?". I replied "It was, I already memorized everything". Ulon just sat there staring at me. I waved my hand in front of his face, but he wouldn't wake up. 'Is it that amazing? I mean, I broke through my Limits a few times already, it should be no wonder that my memory is good' I thought.

I poked his forehead, and asked "You alright?". He finally snapped out of it, and asked "Did you really memorize it?". I replied, "Of course, why would I lie about it? I need that knowledge. Anyway, my part of the deal now". I took out some paper, and a piece of Coal I shaped into a stick, then wrote a few recipes for him. I also wrote how to precisely cook those recipes, and how to handle the herbs. When I passed him the note, he immediately grabbed them, and read through.

I said "The part about Serelis is there too. But it will be better if I just show you, right?". He nodded his head absentmindedly. I replied "Let's go then". He nodded again, but still sat there like an idiot, staring at the notes I handed to him. I said "Either we are going now, or I'll burn down your garden downstairs". He finally woke up, and replied "I'm coming!".
