[Welcome Back, Bladeheart]
The same robotic voice echoed in my ears the moment my body materialized on the world. It is still nighttime in the game, which means I still have time to gather the papyrus for the scrolls. Since Serbal is dead in Southern Oasis and there is still no one who is farming Papyrus, I can solo harvest all papyrus currently available in the area and use it myself. If players discover the papyrus to be one of the most useful things to harvest for making scrolls, harvesting one in this area would be war.
With Leona, I managed to arrive at the exact area where the plant Papyrus grows. Just looking at the abundant amount of papyrus in here made me want to jump around in joy and celebrate this find. After all, during the past timeline, players who want to harvest papyrus spawn camp on this area and will wait for new sprouts to grow which means if you also want to get a single sprout, then you need to also spawn camp here.
"I really appreciate having my memory retained and for me to discover this place in the past timeline. And I really appreciate getting here first."
Of course, there are enemies here too.
[Swamp Eater] Lv: 74
HP: 20,000/20,000
Type: Water, Plant
For a mob monster, the 20k hp is quite small. However, it is normal because they are quite annoying to handle and it justifies how small the HP of this guy is. For level 74 monsters, they usually have around 40k or more depending on their type.
"Leona, go and have a snack with the wrigglers. Don't hold back."
Leona immediately dived to the ground and grab 5 Swamp Eater in one go. She didn't just swallow them in one go but chomped it first, draining their HP to zero before they were all swallowed. She repeated the process before all of the Swamp Eaters were exterminated.
I hated dealing with them so, with Leona's help, I didn't have to deal with their annoying attacks. I pulled out my weapon before jumping off Leona. Unlike in the past timeline where this place is very barren from greenery, the place right now is full of those missing greens. Without players spawn camping here, this place is pretty peaceful.
"Alright, time to farm some weeds."
...
It took me a few minutes before I managed to gather all of the Papyrus plants. I didn't process them right away as I have other things I needed to do before they become papyrus material for the scrolls.
[Papyrus Stalk]
Type: Material
Info: Stalks of the Papyrus plant. It is the material used to get [Papyrus Paper], a vital item needed to create [Scrolls].
Note: Weed time!
I waited for a while before the new papyrus sprouts up. It only took 5 minutes before they grow and mature which is why they are easy to farm. I gather a few of the new sprouts before I am satisfied and left. While in the air, I grab a few of the stalks I cut down using my weapon and process them one by one. Not to become a papyrus paper but to become a papyrus seed.
Because I knew the situation that will happen in the future, I don't want to keep on going to the Papyrus farming area because of that same reason.
[Papyrus Seed]
Type: Seed/Farming Material
Info: Seed of the Papyrus plant. Plant it to the ground and you can start growing it in your own backyard.
Note: The first step to begin your weed farm!
Although this doesn't look like a "weed" to me, it is indeed similar to one. Anyways, with the seeds in my hands, I won't have any problem starting the farm of papyrus.
Alright, time to make a papyrus paper. Processing it using the usual item process that is usually used for disassembling weapons to materials. Every player can use it anytime and anywhere so no one would say processing things is hard or it costs money because it does not cost anything and you don't even need to rent a facility just to process it.
The processing is fast and I don't think I needed too much time and materials to accumulate lots of papyrus paper. One stalk is enough to receive 10 papyrus paper. And one papyrus paper is enough to create a scroll. I am good to go with the number of stalks I have and I will still have extra stalks to spare.
After around 30 minutes of processing them, I already got 100 pieces of papyrus paper. This amount is good enough for me to get a good amount of spell scrolls I can use in times of emergencies especially if I use Time Eater where my mana is just draining very fast.
...
With Leona's flight speed, it only took a few minutes before I arrived at the palace of Queen Tanya. The scrolls came out nicely and are ready to be used for later. Now, I just needed to meet with the other Pioneers.
"Welcome Bladeheart. You arrived too early. It seems you are excited," Queen Tanya said while relaxing on her throne.
"Of course. It isn't every day I get to fight against a big monster. The other bosses are just not that exciting while the others were killed before I can even confront them."
"True. If only I get to join you guys, I will be quite satisfied. However, I have the duty to be the guardian of Sandurk and protect the citizens first and it is needed for me since I am the queen. If it wasn't for that, I would be with you guys in the frontlines."
"I can understand that but as the queen, the people's needs are your first priority and you cannot change that even if you say it is your duty to fight the monster. The other officials will just stop you from going instead and they fear you will die and leave everything behind."
"Ha! What a joke. I am not that easily killed by these bastards. Anyways, I need to prepare myself. It seems the other pioneers are here and I need to welcome them."
I nodded and was about to move to the audience area when Queen Tanya stopped me.
"Stay there, Bladeheart. Don't join them. I will be assigning you as the leader of the operation to take down the dragon. And since you are the leader, they will need to see you face to face."
"Me? The Leader?!"
"Yes, as the pioneer who holds the highest success rate and has the 100% soldier survival rate. You also took down 2 of the leaders leading the demon and monster hordes, all by yourself. With that performance, you are fit to be the leader of this subjugation and raid against the dragon. You earned this position."
