Chapter 10 - A New world prelude.

In a dense forest, the tree was a hundred feet tall and large as buildings, the air oscillated and a multicolored portal appeared and disappeared without a trace leaving three figures behind. The three observed the surroundings trying to observe everything in this new and unknown place.

After some moments, one started to speak. "Hey Harry, should we look for a city or should we explore first?"

"Let's explore first," Harry said after thinking for a minute. "This is a whole new world, we can find a city later. Let's meet here in three hours, if anyone finds any problem, we can use the chat to communicate."

After saying these words, the boy made a magical mark in the ground, to serve as a meeting point. Right after that, the other two flew in a different direction leaving Harry alone.

"Now, let's see what I can find in this world," Harry said to himself with a small smile on the face and started to walk in another direction.

He walked slowly and without hurry, while he walked he found several plants he didn't recognize, thanks to the observe skill, he didn't miss any plant and found information about them, the Lauf herb, used as a hemostatic, the Red amanil mushroom, used to make health potions, the Gorlal fungi, used as food and to heal bellyache and antitoxin and the Bledil plant, that caused nausea and dizziness, but it roots was a stamina medicine and a potent aphrodisiac.

While he kept walking, harry was collecting any herb or plant that appeared in his way, during the trip he stopped to collect some berries from a bush and started to hear a noise. Following the noise, he found a massive warthog eating yellow fruits from the ground when he finished eating from the ground, he hit his body in a tree and more fruits fell from it.

Raising his hand, he used the telekinesis and three fruits flew to his hand, making the warthog jump in scare, them he put them in the inventory, and observed the giant animal.

Without a trace of fear harry looked to the beast studying it, the beast was massive about the size of a van, the tusks were about twice the size of an ȧduŀt arm, and thick as an iron pole, he had short dark hair and his mane was dark-red.

Seeing the huge animal growl in rage and stuffing its ċhėst, Harry tried to use his druid ability to communicate with the animal, but the moment he opened his mouth the huge boar spat a dart of water toward Harry's head.

Seeing the projectile coming toward him, Harry shifted subtly sideways out of the way and avoided the attack. The water missile passed Harry's side and hit a tree behind him, the attack piercing the huge trunk of the tree creating a huge hole that caused the huge tree to topple and fall.

Harry let out a surprised whistle at the power of the water arrow, strong enough to destroy a tank if a normal person were hit, not even much would be left. Seeing that his attack was easily avoided, the boar let out a shout of rage and rushed toward Harry frantically.

Narrowing his eyes, Harry pointed a finger at the boar and fired a single telekinetic beam from his fingertip.

The telekinetic tentacle quickly crossed the distance and penetrated through the boar's skull that continued its advance for a dozen more steps before falling and sliding across the ground until it stopped near Harry's feet.

Aside from a very small hole between the eyes, there was no other wound in the animal.

Opening his inventory, he grabbed the body and put it inside, before continuing his walk, one year too little time to explore an entire world, so he needs to make every second count.

After some time, Harry reached a grove with leafy tall skinny white trees with leaves in several shades of red and orange. Stepping ahead he saw that the fallen leaves covered entirely the ground making a red and orange carpet of leaves that reached his calf.

Two steps later, something shot from the leaves aiming for Harry's ċhėst, with a quick move, he grabbed and pulled up revealing a scorpion held by his tail. The scorpion was as big as a cat, had orange eyes and two sharp claws, his body was covered by an irregular red-orange carapace, allowing it to perfectly hide among the leaves, the tail was two and half times longer than the body and had a sharp irregular sting.

The scorpion started to debate trying to free himself from harry.

Not paying much attention to the scorpion in his hand, he opened his inventory, take a small pouch, put the scorpion inside of it and tightly knotted the rope in the bag and guarded it inside a bag that he placed around his waist.

In five more minutes of walk, he was attacked more than twenty times by different creatures, sometimes by scorpions and ants, sometimes by completely white spiders who hide in the top of trees, very few times by a four-winged bird and once by a snake, but with that last one he could reach a deal thanks to being a parselmouth.

To prevent more of these unfortunate encounters, harry activated the skill detection ring, creating a red halo, that detected any creatures or possible foe in a certain range, with his actual skill level he could cover all London.

With the detection ring, he could avoid or capture any creature in the glove easily and continue exploring and collecting any resource he could find. About an hour of walking, harry reached to a vast plain covered in very tall red and green grass, the whole place was filled with rich mana and rich herbal smell, curious harry used observe in the grass.

Red Hiralle Grass.

A rare and more potent variation of the hiralle grass, that only appears in areas with a very rich mana, the fresh smell relieves pain and restores the energies. When consumed recovers a considerable amount of HP, it can also be used to make potions.

After reading the information, Harry became very surprised and happy, items with healing properties were always valuable, after all, there is nothing more valuable to someone than his/her own life.

Since it was delicate work, instead of normal golens he used specially made liquid metal golems for these tasks, liquid metal golems were stronger, faster and had a lot more versatile than the common goldens, plus they could shape themselves in any way to better complete a task.

Using around a Thousand golens he divided them into two groups, half would delicately remove them from the ground preserving them and their roots, the other group would only collect the grass leaving the roots behind so they could grow again in the future.

To speed up the process, harry used the skill earth control and telekinesis, to dig the earth and gather the grass with the roots intact. The hiralle grass occupied an entire 1 km area, around 1 third was red hiralle grass and the rest was green.

After gathering almost all the grass in the plain, he put them and the golems back in the inventory before moving forward, he still had an hour and half before the combined time explore.

A time later in the meeting spot, harry was sit in rock with three pens furious writing three floating books, he was using memory partition along with thought acceleration, to write the information about the plants, minerals, and animals that he encountered in this world.

By now he already had found, gathered and captured, 21 plants, 4 minerals, and 14 beasts, he was only writing the most basic information he gained using observe, in the future he would rewrite it with more complex and complete information.

Among the few he had seen, until now the most interesting thing was the flowing blue mushroom, a mushroom with a rich mana inside, three beasts were fighting for it, a giant blue snake, an ȧduŀt version of the warthog he killed and Bronze scaled lizard.

He captured the three beasts and picked the mushroom, before coming to the meeting place, he was very anxious to study all items and beasts deeply. Around half-hour later, Jamie arrived carrying a huge old bag.

After saying he dropped the content into the ground in front of them, there were various different coins made of gold, silver, and cooper, some plates with weird inscriptions, some old books, and a decorated sword and a red dagger.

After dropping the content of the bag Jamie continued speaking. "There's a city, around an hour or so from here, the place is filled with zombies and has a mountain of bones outside it." He said pointing in the direction of the city.

"You found something more?" Harry asked while comparing the gold coins with the galleons he had.

"It appears to have some mines near, but I didn't check them, Hey where's Mark he already later?"

He asked receiving a, no idea, from harry who was now analyzing the more detailed and beautiful silver coins.

Right after Mark appeared flying carrying a baby goat in his arms, the three exchanged some looks, but no one said anything about the baby goat. After the exchange Mark started to talk.

"Guys, I just found a ruin, did you find anything?"

Jamie nodded and answered, "Harry I don't know, but I found a city full of zombies near here. Hey, harry which one, do you prefer to go first?"

Harry thought for an instant before answering.

Mark and Jamie, agreed and the trio started to fly at full speed with Jamie leading the way, at full speed they reached in the city in less than an hour, the distance was quite long and they stopped two times, one for harry collect seeds and a tree and one for Jamie take a piss.

When they reached, they saw a medium-sized city, it had large streets of stone filled with dry blood and weed, most of the building was made of wood, stone or bricks, in different levels of destruction, very fell seemed to be intact.

Bindweed covered several constructions, and some even seemed to behold together by them, a putrid smell filled the area, even several feet's high in the sky the smell could be felt. The city was surrounded by huge walls with more than one hundred feet, the gates and parts of the walls were damaged indicating that a siege or an attack occurred.

Thousands undead roamed to a place to another, around 70-80% of them were humans, but there were some elves, dwarves, and some others races among them, most undead were zombies, but some skeletons and an occasional ghost, could be seen occasionally.

Most undeads used civilian clothes, but there are some with leather and metal armor or carrying weapons, few used full armor, and by the design most probably they were city guards.

"Damn, we gonna lose hours, cleaning this place. how many of them are there?"

Mark complained, seeing the huge number of undeads.

"To answer your question, there is around, 85.000 undeads down there," Harry said while he opened his inventory and let hundreds of small black balls fall into the ground, each ball them transformed in a 2,5 meters metal liquid golem and they started to destroy the undeads using laser beams and miniguns in their hands. "And we not going to lose more time than necessary."

"Now, who wants to play Uno?" Harry asked with a deck in the hand.

The next minutes were filled with sounds of fighting and explosions, while the golems cleared the undeads in the city. Under the mental orders of harry, the golens destroyed the undeads while they did the best to minimize any damage to the buildings.

Those liquid metal were far more powerful than the common golems he used to make, they were stronger and far more resistant, they could shape their body in any weapon to attack and in case of long-range fight, they could shoot lasers from the eye, and morph their hands in miniguns to shoot them down.

And each golem was equipped with magic bullets to maximize the damage.

The sound of fighting lasted for whole twenty minutes, before coming to an abrupt end, right after two golens came and cleared a large area, removing body, wreckage and the weed, when they finished another group came and started to put items in several piles.

piles of books, coins, clothes, arms, armors, and anything that they could collect were gathered there, from golden jewelry to the nails and bricks that could be used.

While the golens kept their works the trio started to look around seeing if they could find anything ins interesting.

It took two hours for the golens finish their work, to pass time during it, Harry was reading some books about this world, Jamie was studying a magic amulet and Mark was playing with a magic hammer. When they finished Harry stored the piles in his inventory using telekinesis to store entire piles.

After reading three books harry gained a good understanding of this world, much like to an rpg world, this world had people divided in "jobs" if someone used swords, they were called swordsman or warriors, if someone used magic, they were mages, there were others jobs like rogue and ranger too.

In this world their different races like dwarves, elves and beastfolk, beast capable of using mana were called magic beasts, they had different ranks for them and usually they had a form of crystalized mana inside their bodies, called core.

In hand of that information's, Harry became much more confident in leading this adventure.
