Today I started refining all of my plants. By tomorrow I should be done refining the mana versions of all of my plants and then I will move onto using Solar Energy, which should take a bit longer because there is more to do, it still shouldn’t take too long.

Maybe someday in the future, I’ll create every possible version of all of my plants so I can feed them into my wooden arm to make it better. Not for a while though, that sounds like a lot of work for only a moderate amount of profit.

I got to talk to my dad’s old partner again today, apparently his name is Wujiang and he’s from some far off land I’ve never heard of. He struck out on his own when he was young and after a number of chaotic adventures ended up working with my father, which seems to be a common theme among the adventuring types. Also, his favorite color is bluish grey, I didn’t ask but he told me anyway.

Progress on the undead is steadily getting faster. With every improvement we make Azrezel gets more mental prowess to work with, allowing him to make more changes faster, which means more good changes faster. It all creates a positive feedback loop where getting better allows him to get better faster. At the same time, every new tree that grows lets me work faster as well, though his improvements are having the bigger impact.

I spent my downtime talking with someone I hadn’t seen in quite a while. Bug’s daughter, the one that evolved into a winged dragonewt saint, the healer that wanted a more martial path. Apparently, her name is Erica Hornmark, Bug named her after me, which is flattering and a little weird to be honest.

She’s evolved again since then, it would be weirder if she hadn't. I didn’t get the name of her species out of her, I didn’t really mention her evolution. The most obvious difference is the crown of horns growing from her skull and the faint light emanating from her. Her wings are also bigger, but that might just be the result of her getting older. Making winged armor gave me an appreciation for just how hard flying can be, she makes incredibly complicated maneuvers look easy. Her skill and natural talent make her incredibly dangerous in hand to hand combat, in the same way that I could kill someone just by looking at them. Healing, when intentionally done wrong, is incredibly effective at killing.

She has also gained some skill over plants despite her species being talentless at it, my forest smiles on her.

It seems like the people love her, at one point she was complaining about the sheer number of people that want to mate with her. Which isn’t too surprising, she is pretty attractive, but something else has to be going on to get that many suitors.

It was definitely interesting talking with her now that she’s grown. I offered her a gift, something within my ability to create. She asked me for something to amplify her healing, something a cut above what the average soldier is able to use. It wasn’t difficult to create.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
