Chapter 441: [ Medicinal Herb Paradise ]

Aside from seeing their stuffy and dirty appearances, there was also a reason why Allen had specifically led them into that lake and left. He felt a large fluctuation of mana from somewhere and if he wasn’t mistaken, it wasn’t just one but several…

Thus, he separated from them.

“I don’t know what these things are yet but since they emitted mana, they should be good things…” Allen throws down those words before he disappeared into the forest.

Twisting and turning uncannily through the forest, Allen was extremely agile. If one looks closely, what was the most unusual was that the golden light only shone from him occasionally, but that alone gave others who, if saw it would give quite a shock in their hearts.

From Allen’s casual movements, they would certainly found out that he was only using his magic power only when he needs it most—on those occasions when he needed to jump up high, or just when he needed a quick speed boost, mostly used to surmount any difficult obstructions in his way.

In doing so, not only did he manage to maintain high speeds, but he could also conserve as much magic power as possible and not waste anything. A proficient but high-level technique of mana manipulation!

Many experts could actually also do this, but most importantly, how young was Allen?

One must know that this kind of exquisite mana control wasn’t something learned and mastered for only several years. Even old experts spent many years to sharpen their perception of mana and control until they can do everything they wanted and manipulate mana as if it was a part of their limbs.

But, Allen was different. It’s as if he was born to wield magic power!

His mana control can make people feel envy!

This was actually due to Allen’s monstrous perception of mana and control that he had gained from him being a Monster King. Monster Kings are heaven-defying existences not only in mortal worlds but also here in this Celestial Realm! They are often known as King of Magic Races…

Being named as Children of the World, or Children of Nature was not just for show. Besides, these past few days, Allen had no choice but to sharpen his control as much as possible because of the Curse of the Death Mask. He doesn’t want to waste magic power unlike before when he didn’t care due to his massive mana pool.

With this, his mana control had reached new heights.

Less than half a day later, Allen had reached the precipice of the forest and he was somewhat dumbfounded.

In fact, he was already been like this when he saw a huge forest at the end of the Desert. He had never expected for such a dense jungle to appear in the Chaos Desert but he still had entered without hesitation.

This was, after all, the way towards the Water City, a harbor and an entrance to the sea!

But now… this forest is this natural… or some kind of power was at work in here…

When he saw the ravine, Allen imagined it to be just a large one. However, when he reached the precipice, he could feel there were many mysteries buried in its depths.

He slightly leaned his body, looking down, its bottom couldn’t be seen but a portion of cold air ascended from the valley’s bottom, directly pressing against his navel region. Standing there, he could still see seemingly snowflakes floating towards the valley’s bottom.

Snow… in the Desert…?

In fact, is this still part of the Desert or another region completely…

What a very interesting place…

Air was produced under Allen’s feet. He then jumped, flying down towards the valley.

Woosh. The wind slowed down Allen’s descends. He looked around, observing the circumstances within the valley. Both sides were covered with sheer cliffs and precipitous rocks, however, strange vegetation had grown due to the wind and cold.

Then, as Allen had expected… the man fluctuation he was feeling all day long was certainly coming from this place…

Gazing at the environment, everything clicked into place in Allen’s mind; the corner of his mouth pulled upwards as he stepped forward. The plants in this place were being nurtured with mana and could be said to be a heaven for Alchemists and herbalists.

In addition, the deeper he went, the thicker the magic power concentration.

He had also tackled some bit of Alchemy with the help of Agathi who lectured from time to time. And although he wasn’t as accomplished compared to the girl, he still has a bit of knowledge regarding things about it.

He opened his grimoire. Unfortunately, Agathi wasn’t in the Grimoire world. Thus, he had no choice but to call her.

No matter what world they are, as long as there was the Summoning Grimoire, he would be able to call them telepathically—though, it would consume quite a significant amount of mana.

*Ding!* in just less than a second, Agathi’s picture started shining.

What a fast response…

“Agathi, come here,” Glow! Agathi’s character page shines in a bright golden light and Agathi Dorhuck appeared for the very first time in the Celestial Realm.

Agathi opened her closed eyes and the moment she saw Allen, “Master!!!” She throws herself into Allen’s bosom excitedly. Her eyes were moist and full of emotions.

She lay in Allen’s arms. She raised her head and looked into his eyes, “Master, you meanie!! Why didn’t you call me before? I feel like master doesn’t love me!!”

“Silly girl…” Allen chuckled as he gently strokes Agathi’s head. Actually, among his tamed beasts, looks was one of the lightest in terms of emotions and affection he had towards them.

Not because of her appearance, but because, Agathi was a very disagreeable woman the first time they had met. In fact, she was beautiful, just a bit inferior compared to Baishe, Dakna, Asmodeus, and the other women.

Well, they did say—first impression last the longest…

If there was a ranking in terms of beauty among his tamed beasts, she was probably 2nd or 3rd at the bottom. Even still, as long as Allen loves them, he would not care about appearance at all.

“… I love you Agathi, of course, I love my beautiful Agathi…” Allen started coaxing Agathi. “However, I apologize; Agathi’s abilities are needed by the other side more compared to mine… thus, I can’t disturb you often.”

“Hehe,” Hearing those words, Agathi’s hear was sweet, as if it had drunk honey.

“Don’t worry master, I will surely refine many potions and help Mistress Mia and the others to the best of my ability!” A satisfied smile appeared on Agathi's peaceful face,

“Agathi, don’t trouble the master too much,” As Agathi didn’t show any sign of separating from Allen, from behind him, a figure slowly appeared.

“Sister Baishe!” Agathi was startled upon hearing Baishe’s words and hastily let go. She looked at Baishe, extremely fearful. She was now fidgeting, like a child that had been caught doing something wrong.

As to the reason why Agathi was scared of Baishe, Allen could only smile wryly. But he didn’t try to ask because he wasn’t interested to know. He trusts Baishe and he knows that Baishe would never bully her companions.

“Nah, it's fine. I indeed owe too much to Agathi…” Allen smiled gently. When he looks closely, the girl was covered by sweat, and her hair was moist.

She was probably in the middle of her work when he summoned her.

Agathi looked at Allen with love and hopes in her eyes.

“I’m sorry… If you wanted something, just tell me. That would be the reward and at the same time, compensation for you…”

Agathi heard Allen’s words and was pleased, "Really?" And then her exquisite and soft arms held on Allen’s body adroitly. Her smooth and soft body was hugging Allen’s body tightly.

Since Allen had given his words, she doesn’t fear Baishe anymore as she hugged Allen with all her love and affection.

"Of course." Allen nodded in affirmation.

Seeing her like this, Baishe can only sigh but then a smile appeared on her face once more. She wasn’t selfish, as long as she can stay by her master’s side and serve him, no matter how many women there were on his side she wouldn’t care.

However, she was just a bit strict at Agathi because she was originally Allen’s enemy and had wanted to hurt him. For Baishe, no matter who they were, as long as they wanted to hurt Allen, she would never forgive them!

But now, since Allen had spoken, it wasn’t her place to speak anymore.

Embracing Allen, feeling his warmth and smelling his scent, Agathi sighed and spoke with a more satisfied tone, "If I can hold Master like this for the rest of my life, I will fear nothing. I will want nothing... Master, I like you so much..."

Allen felt tender for her. He touched her head gently and said, "Is that all? Then, don’t worry, Agathi and the others, I will make sure you all will be happy for the rest of your lives. That’s my purpose and my goal, since time immemorial… I promise you."

Agathi looked so happy. She happily nodded and kissed Allen on his cheek twice. She said, "I know you are the best to me."

Baishe also felt moved after Allen and she walked over, circling her arms around his waist and embraced him from behind.

Now, Allen was being sandwiched by Baishe from the back and Agathi from the front. Such blessings, such fortune, most men would surely cry in blood due to envy if they saw this scene. Both beautiful women loved one man so much, they wouldn’t care about anything else!

Devoted, loyal, beautiful… such women, even one of them were enough for a man to be happy for sixty-six lifetimes!

Ah, Master is so charming...

He looks so good.

How can he be so pretty?!

Agathi bit her own lip while looking at her beloved Master sentimentally. She suddenly remembered, what master had said a while ago… was that a proposal…?

Master… proposed to me…?

Thinking of that, she suddenly felt shy. Her face turned red as she stayed in Allen’s arms not daring to move a bit. She felt her heart was beating fast...

“Now, come on, this is not the time and place for this,” Allen smiled wryly.

“… …”

After a few minutes, the two women were reluctant to let go and wished that they could hold Allen forever but they also know that this wasn’t the place for that.

“This… this place is…!!!” Agathi looked at the place in front of her in shock.

“This… is this the legendary Bloodvein grass?! This, Bullhorn cactus?! There’s even Fireheart flower that I only heard in legend! This, master… what is this place!!? This is practically heaven!!”

Agathi shriek in shock and excitement. She looked every direction with sparkling eyes as she looks at this glittering flowers and plants in admiration.

She looked like a small child that had just arrived at an amusement park for the very first time. Her eyes sparkled that it almost dazzled Allen. She really looked adorable.

“There are so many high-level medicinal ingredients!!”

“But, but master… there’s just too many plants here that I don’t recognize. I,” Agathi suddenly stopped her actions and looked at Allen with a sorrowful expression. At this moment, Allen found out that she looked like a child who had seen her favorite toy but knows that she couldn’t have it because she has no money to buy it.

She wanted to grab them all but she doesn’t know what they are used for. What if some of them were poison… that would surely be bad.

However, if she just used them to do some experiment… isn’t it really wasting precious natural resources? Each of them seemed to be quite rare even in the Celestial World…
