Prime Originator Chapter 516 - Vine Carts

Chapter 516 - Vine Carts

Faelyn nodded rigorously at Leon's comment before she said, "I've frequently interacted with the common folks in the tribe, but it's also the first time I've encountered such a situation."

"They revere you so much, even male elves want to give you their seeds~!" Duna teased with a soft laugh as she enjoyed seeing Leon in distress.

Leon naturally understood what she meant and could not help but feel gooseb.u.mps crawling on his skin as he s.h.i.+vered.

"Please do not joke like that, Duna. I don't need no man coming onto me," Leon said with a bitter smile. He was not amused.

"But what do you need the seeds for anyway? How will these help the tribesmen?" Faelyn asked after pa.s.sing her entire gra.s.s-woven pouch of seeds to Leon.

Leon noticed this small detail and smiled before he started explaining, "You can see that the tribesmen's pace is rather slow due to the goods they are carrying with them. This is quite an inefficient way of transport and will only tire them down quickly if they were required to increase their pace."

"But how will you use these seeds to help them?" Faelyn asked curiously, wondering what Leon was planning.

"You have been to the Human Domain and have seen the modes of transport in the Capital." Leon explained patiently with a smile before asking, "What do you think the tribe is lacking in comparison?"

"Elvengarde does not have any of those steel moving objects. They're called trucks and cars, right?" Faelyn said.

Leon nodded.

"Ah… yes, Elvengarde doesn't have steam-powered vehicles like the Crawford Empire. But let alone steam-powered models of transport, the elves do not seem to even utilize any form of carriages." He shortly stated.

"Ah? Right… We don't, do we?" Faelyn's eyes suddenly flickered in realization before she asked, "Then that means that you want to…?"

"That's right. We'll make some carriages. The power of leverages will lighten their burden and quicken their pace," Leon stated.

He knew the elves were a self-sufficient race, but it was surprising that they do not even use wheeled constructs to carry their load.

Shortly after, he took out some seeds from Faelyn's gra.s.s-woven pouch before channeling his Wood Energy into them.

It was the first time he would be utilizing his wood abilities outside of healing.

Nevertheless, he had seen others manipulate vines with their wood abilities so many times that he had vaguely grasped the trick behind it.

In a short moment, the seeds germinated and quickly grew into vines before Leon manipulated them, shaping them according to his thoughts.

First came the four wheels, then the cargo area for holding, and finally the shaft for pulling. It was a relatively simple design, but not bad for Leon's first attempt.

With a single thought, the vines could become soft, hard, brittle, or even stretch like rubber. But for the carriage, it was naturally made hard and firm like ironwood.

It was definitely not the typically common breed of vines that could be seen every day.

"This is the carriage? It's a bit small." Faelyn commented with a hint of doubt. She had seen much bigger carriages back in the Human Domain.

"No, not quite." Leon shook his head and said, "At most, this is just a cart. Hang on, I am still experimenting with the designs. I will make a bigger carriage soon."

"Why don't you help the tribesmen load their goods onto this cart first, then find some able warriors to do the pulling and give them tasks to recreate similar carts for the other tribesmen?" Leon suggested.

"Alright, I will do just that," Faelyn nodded and summoned the nearby elven warriors to do just ask Leon suggested.

At the same time, Leon gazed towards Silver and said, "You're going to have a big job to do later."

"Arf?"

The three-tailed silver wolf tilted its head sideways in confusion. However, it vaguely picked up a bad feeling due to Leon's gaze.

It was the feeling of going to be exploited.

As expected, half an hour, Leon made an impressively large carriage that could carry hundreds of tribesmen and their goods.

It was hardly considered a carriage due to its sheer size. No, it should be called a ma.s.sive s.h.i.+p with wheels attached—numerous wheels attached.

Leon made Silver stood at the forefront to pull the oversized carriage.

If not for consideration of the weight limit the carriage could bear, Leon would have made the oversized carriage even bigger.

At the same time, the elven warriors created thousands of vine carts of various sizes for all the tribesmen. They did not stop production until every tribesman was able to unload their goods onto the carts.

Although the work ended up delaying the trip, the overall time to complete the journey was shortened. The pace was increased by at least twofold with the help of the idle warriors pulling the carts

"Only the elderly and children can board this carriage. If you are not one of them, please make way for them." Faelyn shortly stated.

Everyone wanted to hop on the huge carriage driven by the big three-tailed silver wolf, but obviously, not everyone would get the opportunity.

Many tribesmen were disappointed, but they did not protest and cooperated obediently, allowing the elderly and children to pa.s.s through.

Leon watched as everyone boarded the carriages and resumed the trip before he said, "Seems like my work is done here."

"I'll be relying on you to help these tribesmen reach the Great Wall, bud." Leon shortly patted the three-tailed silver wolf.

"Arf, arf!" Silver barked with dissatisfaction and unhappiness.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure to reward you plenty once we return to the Human Domain." Leon said with a smile while ruffling its thick fur.

Silver could only agree with a nod at the mention of rewards, albeit unwillingly.

Shortly after, Leon spoke some words to Faelyn and returned the seed pouch to her before leaving with Duna.

"You know, if you wanted to kill some rats, you did not need to wait for me," Leon said to Duna with a smile while they were heading back to the Elder Tree.

"Huh?" Duna furrowed her brows before she snorted, "I was not waiting for you, alright? I was just fascinated by what the elves were doing and wanted to watch them for a bit."

"Oh, I see. Then why are you still following me? I'm heading back to the Elder Tree for a bit, you know?" Leon asked nonchalantly.

"This…" Duna was at a loss for words before she suddenly said snappishly, "Why are you asking me so much nonsense? Just shut up and do what you need to do!"

Seeing Duna behave like this, Leon could only respond with a wry smile.
