Engaged
Why am I doing this? I have not moved in three days and I'm too hungry.
Because I do this, there must be a reason. It's important and that's why I'll get it. I have to remember everything in this book. That's the only thing I thought at the beginning. I just want to throw it, burn it, close it. Stupid book I'm tired.
I just want to stop reading, memorizing these herbs is complicated. They have different names, different colors, different uses, and different places to find.
There are varieties of herbs, some are common as the Green Grass. Other more complicated to get as the Blood Flower. But the very rare only appear at special times and places, such as the Lunar Howl or the Dragon Grass.
I think it's time. I repeat myself again and again. I'm ready, I must have memorized everything without error. At least that's my opinion.
To the devil, I have learned all the images and details of this book. I should not go wrong in an exam.
When I felt my soul leave my body. And then after three days, stop looking at the book. Then I heard a familiar beep.

After listening to the system, I could finally relax. Where I was there were two people.
Around me was the old man, with a black face. Not knowing if it was out of worry or annoyance, he observed me like a weirdo. Next to him was a young girl with a plate of cold food.
Carl Wood: "How was Mr. Walker, did I pass the test? He has been sitting without moving for 3 days. Some of us thought he was dead, you buried him, but he moved the leaves
"I do not remember anything, I only have plants in my mind. I go to sleep."
Carl Wood: "First eat something, but I think he will die."
Following the recommendation of the elder. Devour the cold food. When it was about to end my eyes closed and I fell asleep on the plate.
When I came back I opened my eyes. I was on a leather bed. And the sun's rays came through the windows. How long will I have slept? I feel my body a little tired, but without discomfort.
Checking the Effects option there is the reason for this.

Wow, this is very convenient, it will help me with my trip.
Leaving the house there were few people in the street. One of them approached and my review with the look.
Villager: It seems to be fine Mr. Walker. The boss said to go see him when he gets up.
Then it went as fast as it came.
Walking to the boss's house, I saw very few people. Maybe they will be hiding from me. Well I have to improve my charm that's for sure.
When the old man arrived, he was outside talking with two people. When he saw me he said goodbye and called me inside the house.
Carl Wood: "I'm glad you woke up. You have slept for a whole day. I thought you would get up until tomorrow. "
"Well, I felt good. Old man will have things ready, I have to go in search of money "
Carl Wood: "Very well, I have your team ready. Here is a small bag. When it is linked to the system, it will stack the money that you have inside and it will not weigh so much, but it has a weight limit of 10 kilograms. And you can only put small things. As your cleaning supplies, flint for fire, kitchen utensils and a knife. I took the liberty of putting some things inside, and your only remaining silver coin. I have to charge you for the food and the lodging, do not put on that face. "
In the end this old bastard charged me 4 coins. Good I have a trade and there are some useful things inside.
"Well old man, you won. Then what else is there for me? "
Carl Wood: "Here is a backpack for you, in the village we make everything. So you will not have to worry about quality. It also has a small weight reduction, but the maximum you can carry is 60 kilograms. Here inside there is a towel, a rope, a torch, a sleeping bag, a blanket and a pot. It is necessary for you to survive on your trip. "
Oh, wow. The basic camp team had almost forgotten it. Good thing he prepared everything, if I forgot those things I would be dead before returning here. I will have to thank you from my heart this time.
"Thank you very much elder. This will be very useful for me on my trip, I will never forget it. Finally, the tools of office. "
Carl Wood: "This is from me, a belt for tools. I really did not expect you to survive the test. No one has ever finished reading that violet book. You know things with magic or important in the system, qualify a different color. From the lowest to the best is like this: Poor (Gray), Normal (White), Uncommon (Blue), Rare (Green), Epic (Red), Legendary (Violet), Mythic (Orange), Relic (Silver). "
Carl Wood: "Here is a shovel. This is your tool for herbal medicine, you just need to learn the harvesting skill. When you are ready I will take you to learn it "
Got damn. This damn old man almost killed me. Because my life is always at stake. Perhaps there were no guardians in this world. They have to do their job, hell. Before I kill him or worse, I better go.
"Well then I think I do not need anything, only the direction of the academy."
Walking with the old man, we went to a shed Count there were many rare plants. Go, if I recognize all, this old man if he told the truth about the difficulty of the book.
Carl Walker: "Listen as you read the book you will know that each plant is different. And what is used varies. It can be stem, root, leaf or fruit. Try this Green grass, take out the grass with the shovel. "
Well the old man seems to want to get rid of me. Then we will do it fast. With the shovel I carefully remove the grass and place it on the side.
Carl Walker: "Well do not forget to always put the herbs on the sheets of paper. This will help them not wither or mix. There are some in your bag, do not worry "
After finishing packing, the family beep came.
[You have learned the skill of profession: Collect herbs]
Carl Walker: "Well, now finally. Here we have a very special technique. It's called looking for herbs, it will help you not to be walking for hours in circles. "
Carl Walker: "First feel the magical energy that surrounds your body. Then expand your senses, try to feel the mana of the plants. Slowly remember what plants are and moving forward, until you feel fuzzy. That will be your limit. "
Go so feel the plants, it must be an area of effect ability. Let's practice.
"This seemed very simple, but it's not like that."
[You have learned the skill of profession: Search herbs]
After a few seconds I finally understand it.
Carl Walker: "Well boy, you're good at this. Maybe it was your destiny to get here. Here, I'll give you these scissors for plants. It will help you be more efficient, it is a legacy of my family. That's all you have to go northwest. There is the academy, in the same academy there is a church of the great mother. Remember that in the world of magicians your element is very relevant. I wish you luck."
After telling me these words the old man left, as if fleeing from a murderer. I think he lost out with me. Thank you very much elder, in the end you gave me many things.
Before leaving the town, he went to take a bath. The old man gave me a soap, that's fine. Then when I was about to leave. Robert the leader of the guards stopped me.
Robert: "Mr. Walker where he goes without a gun. He is looking to commit suicide. "
"I, well ... I do not think I have one. Sir Robert will have one out there for me, please. "
Robert: "I have one, I'll go find her. I'll give it to you for 1 silver. "
No no no. My money is over. It's the only thing I had left. God, how difficult is this? After a few seconds Sir Robert returned with a short sword and a knife.
Sir Robert: "Well have, the sword will not break very easily. But be careful that it hits. And here is a knife, it will help you cut animal skin and get meat. Do you know about the booty system, right? "
Booty, what booty? I've only killed one rat, until now.
"This ... Sir Robert, I've only fought with one rat. Could you explain me? "
Sir Robert: "Well, when you kill some creature in the system. Automatically you will collect some things in your backpack or bag. If you kill a beast, you will gather flesh, skin, teeth or horns. If you pick up any of them, what's left is not good. He will return to the great mother. If you kill beings as humans and others, you will collect money, special items, equipment and random things from your backpack. The rest is of the great mother. If your backpack is full it will appear on the floor, you decide whether to pick it up or not "
Go then the system has the fall of booty, the great mother is left with many things. There must be a better explanation in the academy. This makes it a little better for me. Maybe the thieves have it difficult here.
Sir Robert: "Be careful with thieves, they take away everything you have."
Because I always speak before time. I will open my eyes well on the road.
[Reputation in the Wood Village: Accepted (25)]
"Thanks for everything Sir Robert."
Walking towards the exit, it seems that I leave a good impression. I have two important missions. So I'll go directly to the academy. On the way I will collect everything I can, and sell it in the city.
