What happened back at the mountain range was not something that Rezen is aware of
He failed to do his original n of checking out the crow-type magic beasts but in return, he obtained around 800 wind sparrows that he can have the farm absorb
When Rezen returned to his farm, he immediately converted the corpses into lottery tickets and blessing points
Overall, Rezen received 1,400 lottery tickets and 1,300 blessing points. Unfortunately, now that Rezen reaches the 3rd fusion rank, the required number of blessing points also increases to 1,300 points
A single magic beast at the 3rd fusion rank is equal to 13 points. It was still the same as before, the system wants Rezen to kill a hundred magic beasts though the points would be divided into lottery tickets and blessing points
“System, redeem the blessing!”
[Ding! Congrattions to the Host for receiving the blessing of good sleep!]
The rate of the jackpot prizes is low and Rezen is not surprised anymore and he just moved on to the lottery tickets
[Ding! Congrattions to the host for receiving recovery pills x1,399 and mysterious peach x1!]
A gain of a single peach… Rezen doesn’t even have the energy toin anymore and he can only be thankful that he even got one
“Hmm, now that I think of it, is the mysterious peach also a spirit nt? It’s unfortunate that the peach cannot be nted but maybe I can also use the mysterious peaches in the blender? Would that increase its quality?”
Rezen decided to try thister. Maybe if he can put hundreds of mysterious peaches or bananas in the blender, the quality might increase
After he was done, Rezen entered his farmhouse and he saw that the dinner was already prepared by Zero
Having loyal and faithful subordinates is really the best!
“Master, you’re back!” Zero said happily and Rezen nodded his head
“What are the boxes on the table? Are they the ones that Rain sent?”
“Yes, Master. The boxes have the spirit nt seeds and also soul and crow-type spell books”
With Rezen’sprehension, he can create his own spells but that would take time. He might as well just learn the spells directly from the book
Since Rezen ate recovery pills earlier, he was not hungry yet and he decided to check the seeds first that as usual, contains a card with a brief description
There were only a few types of seeds since spirit nts that are for a single specie of magic beasts are rare
These seeds can be said to be ‘specialized’ seeds of spirit nts for crows. The crows can live without them but using them would nourish the crows better
Aside from these seeds, the crows can also use themon spirit nts such as the vismian grass
Overall, Rezen received three types of seeds
The first one was the Spring Almonds. It can be ssified as a stable feed for crows. Many species of crows would eat these almonds
Of course, not all crows and envers can use this type of almond. Spring Almond is still a spirit nt and costs money. But if the enver can regrly feed their crows with Spring Almonds, the crows’ potential would increase over time. The chances of the crows reaching a higher rank would increase
The second seed was called Valley Leek. It has a nourishing effect on the crows’ bodies
Bird-type magic beasts typically have lower vitality and defensepared to other magic beasts but the Valley Leeks can make up for that
Lastly, the third seed was of the River Gallbery. These berries make the crows more intelligent
The seeds that Rezen received were not bad and there were thousands of them from quality 1 to quality 3
“Zero, go ask your siblings to help you make as many holes on the farm as possible. I will nt these seedster” Rezen ordered
“Yes, Master!”
Rezen wanted to nt all these seeds at once but that is not possible since his farm is not that big. The space is not enough
The Valley Leeks are fine as they take up small spaces but the Spring Almonds grew from a tree and the River Gallberry grew from shrubs. Thetter two would take up arge space
“Sigh… system, how can I expand my farm?” Rezen asks. In the past, the farm space was not yet a problem but now, it would be
[There are two ways to increase the farm’s size. The first one is to buy the surroundingnds and the second one is for the host to use his mystic gems] the system answered
The first choice should be easy. Since Rezen’s farm is outside the city, it received no protection from mages
Thend near him doesn’t have owners and even the nearest human house would take him minutes to get there
Old farmers that are attached to their homes are the ones that mostly live near Rezen
It should be easy for Rezen to buy the surroundingnd but what does the system mean on the part that Rezen can use his own mystic gems?
To clear his doubts, Rezen decided to ask the system about it
[Host hasn’t met the requirements to expand the farm using his own power yet]
“Tsk…” Rezen clicked his tongue at that. He badly wanted to receive an answer but the system wouldn’t give it to him
Doesn’t this make people even more curious?
Despite his curiosity being piqued, Rezen has no choice but to turn his attention to another thing
Fortunately, he has a short attention span on things and this matter was temporarily thrown at the back of his head
Rezen checked the spell books next. Since he already has the requiredprehension, he only has to learn the spells themselves. This wouldn’t take that long of a time

Ratois Mountain
In the middle of the night, a tall man with blonde hair can be seen inside the mountain. Around him were the corpses of magic beasts that he had killed
The scent of blood wafted in the air and his body was giving off a dangerous vibe. The man’s aura and the dead magic beasts around him cause the other beasts to be afraid and they didn’t dare approach him
This man is not a stranger to Rezen. This is the man that he looked up to
It was none other than ude Preston!
ude stood in his ce for minutes before another person arrived
This person was a woman wearing a white mage robe. He isn’t unfamiliar with this woman as he had already seen and coborated with her once
“Captain ude, why have you called me here?” The mage ask and ude’s dangerous gazended on her
That terrifying gaze causes the female mage’s body to tremble. She felt intimidated and scared
“Mage Ellery… do you know… around a thousand young soldiers died on this mountain not too long ago?” ude said, his tone devoid of any warmth
“C-Captain… i-it was my fault. I didn’t expect that the Wolf King is actually residing in the Mountain. I thought and convinced you that the w Mushroom was the reason why the grey wolves were in a state of unrest” Ellery apologizes, her head hanging low to hide the beads of sweat on her forehead
She doesn’t know why but she felt a sense of danger from ude. She was so afraid that she regretted epting the invitation
“Awooo!!!”
A wolf howl can be heard from a distance. Because of the current atmosphere between the two, that wolf howl made Ellery even more nervous than before
ude Preston… to themon people and the weak, he was like a shining Saint. Their protector and idol
But to people that were hiding dark secrets that harmed innocent people… it was apletely different story
If a person is simply kind, some people would like them but even more, would think that they were a pushover and they would look down on him
However, despite ude’s image of being upright, people are still respectful and afraid of him
Mage Ellery was still regretting her eptance of the invitation when she suddenly sensed the movement of mana. A sign that a spell was activated!
Before Ellery can react, she was already grabbed by her throat. ude was holding her neck quite tightly at that
Her feet were hanging in the air, her face paling as the oxygen supply of her lungs was cut off. She has a pained expression on her face as she held ude’s hand that was holding her
However, even if she tried to remove that merciless hand, she cannot do so now that ude had his [Shadow Suit] spell activated
“C-Captain…” Ellery forced out despite the extreme pressure on her throat. She felt like she would be choked to death soon and that made her fearful
“You’re one evil little bitch… how dare you coborate on a n that causes the death of a thousand young soldiers of our country?”
