CHAPTER 18

John kept drinking the wine and went to the forest. He looked at the goblins and were disgusted. They neither had tasty meat and neither had mana core. Their cores had a slight bit of spirituality as was dangerous to absorb. He let the flying knives without handles flying around him and kept killing the goblins. He collected the corpses as he knew that the corpses would be bought by some wizards. There should be many noble families that had the method of eliminating spirituality. The resources in this world is few even though the animals and other races were thousands of times in number than humans as it is hard to hunt them. There were even many barbaric human races in many places. The human race is only considered part of human if they are civilized. 

The goblins were followed by orcs and they were killed. The orcs were followed by orc kings and they were killed. The orc king was followed by the shaman and he killed them. He found an elf and was going to kill them but the archers raised their hands in surrender. He never thought that the international gesture would spread through the void and reach this multiverse. He looked at them and the elf leader came forwards. She bowed and said, "I am Tania, the leader of my tribe. What is your name esteemed mage?"

John said, "John Metal."

Tania said, "Would you like to visit our village?"

John asked, "Is there tasty food or some good knowledge?"

Tania said, "There are some moon dew wine and spring fruit from the elf-sapling"

John said, "Sure. Lead the way."

As they were walking Tania asked the doubt, "Why does your knife have no handle?"

John said, "It will get stuck in the body of the beings that I kill as the handles is broader than the blade. I only need a blade as I control it. Depending on the situation I may also create rotating gears or chains."

Tania said, "The world of mages are hard to imagine."

John asked, "Aren't the patriarchs of the elf tribe supposed to be mages?"

Tania said, "No one was able to succeed in the inheritance. We can only wait for someone from the tribe to become a mage or let me the strongest warrior to wait till that time."

John said, "You are only 50 times stronger than a normal elf and 80 times stronger than a normal human. You should try to break through."

Tania said, "The resources are low."

John said, "Sad for you."

John entered the village and saw the high trees and the houses on the trees. The children looked at me and I did not care much. If they were cute, he would have cared. John looked at the tall tree and thought that the elves were really pedantic to call such a tree a sapling.

John entered the room and drank the wine. He looked at the tree and was interested in it. it was interesting to find that the tree could swallow all the flesh and blood and energy cores and convert it into mana fruit eaten by the elf mages. They were becoming more the evil sect from the cultivator novels as they were really scary to the eyes of children. He released some goblin corpses while keeping the cores to the trees as a return gift.

John looked at the books and read it fast. He learnt the spell structures and kept it back. It was easy to create and he used the wood creation magic and manipulated the elf tree. They were more of a defensive spell. John returned at ate the food and Tania called him to a private space that was filled with the elders and asked, "Can we have a trade channel between us?"

John said, "What can you give?"

Tania said, "We can give some hunt and some fruits. The wine only has a few liters per month."

John looked at her and asked, "What do you want?"

Tania said, "Mana cores."

John said, "I can get it from the human cities. They have more tastier food."

Tania said, "How about some sacred wood?"

John found that this was the same as the conversation with Mark. It was going on the same path. John looked at her and said, "I can give you some mana crystals but they are the mana crystal of metal energy type."

Tania asked, "I have heard of earth type and fire type. This is the first time I am hearing about metal type."

John said, "There is nothing special about it. it is the most rudimentary mana without any special effect. It will be useful for the tree and for you. Anyway, you have a mana converter." Seeing the doubt John said, "The elf tree."

Tania said, "What is the rate of exchange?"

John said, "First order core for ten mana beast meat without mana core. You can take everything else. I just need the meat. You can also exchange it for hundred vitality beasts of first order. I have no interest in normal ones."

Tania said, "Sure."

John said, "You don't have to be worried too much the metal mana core that I gave has the quality ten times higher than the ordinary mana crystal. It is one of the special kind of mana."

Tania said, "We have no such thought, my lord."

John stood up and said, "I am leaving. You can find the village to exchange the items."

Tania asked, "What is the village name?"

John said, "Chicken farm."

Tania asked, "Chicken farm?"

John said, "That is what they named the village."

John flew and returned. He was satiated for the day.
