Chapter 10
my days after that consisted of crawling slowly learning to walk at 6 months playing with Luna that ball of suns.h.i.+ne who call me big brother we'll fix that later whose utterly attached to me I smell like nature and fresh gra.s.s all the time because of my farm system and she enjoys it I got a mandrake from Pandora and some other nice seeds getting me to level 6 in my farm allowing me to make plants into seeds oddly I couldn't make mandrakes into seeds they apparently mate in some odd way and just reproduce like that I dunno I have like 10 of them now and like anything else in my farm they have 100% loyalty and don't scream when repotted I don't know if they can kill me with a scream in my kingdom but I'd rather not find out. my shadows have finally split and now I have 2 of them I let the one who trains my gnome knights stay small and continue their training they've started to build primitive huts they are learning quickly the second one however I gave a nice persona and made him look a little das.h.i.+ng he works in a nice tea house in London I have dipsy bring him there each morning the magic ID works wonders it's a little bit of cash for spare items he makes about 8 pounds an hour which is close to a galleon an hour it's not much but it's something right? I've gained some tea making skills from it as well now I'm fancy. I bought some more basic combat skills including knife skills and throwing knife skills just because. I want a shadow a.s.sa.s.sin guard at some point just in case. I've raised most of my combat skills to medium grade or almost medium grade my occulmency is still stuck at master it's gonna take a while to get it up
I've asked mother to teach me how to read and I follow along and slowly learn so as not to frighten her I mean I went to college I didn't graduate but I went that counts for something.
I plan to continue working on my kingdom and setting up a strong basic foundation for magic and martial arts even the tallest mountains crumble if their foundation isn't st.u.r.dy I've begun learning basic transfiguration not practicing it just learning from what I can tell it's highly based off will power and imagination I'm especially looking forward to one day becoming an animagus there's 2 ways to do it one is through occulmency and meditation with use of mandrake leave lightning and chants the other is a highly expensive potion that lets me pick what I become with the hair of an animal I'm gonna go with the second one I already know the first one would turn me into a big Ole bear that's just how it's always been even in my past life I was called rybear just a big relaxed guy always lazing about kinda like Baloo from the jungle book and that's just not a kingly animal to be. a lion? no-no-no. a dragon? noperino. a wolf? nahhh. you'll learn someday. I Was practically vibrating in excitement when I saw the potion but then I saw the price it would take me about a year of scrounging and saving for it 1.5m gp I can't do it anytime soon the kingdom needs work I need a nice energy system then maybe a custom-built dungeon but those cost millions and millions the dungeon is so that people living in the kingdom have a way to earn gold which can be used at random shops to purchase basic good and weapons we can't have a kingdom that isn't self-sustaining if there's no work except farming for food how will my people grow and prosper where will the coins come from no no no sir we can't have that we need an economy for jobs we sell the basics and others make jobs for better items like potioneers and blacksmiths warriors and mages we need teachers and bakers cakesmiths my good sir I just make the basics I give out jobs to process goods your kingdom has to run like a well-oiled machine it can't sit upon the shoulders of one or two. that's the lonely path we won't walk that. later I'll join in grail wars and dungeon raids I'll fight against demons and humans alike and at my back shall be my kingdom striking fear into all those who dare cross us. until then I'm going to eat my graham crackers and nap.
