With agreement received, Ben wasted no time getting to the nitty-gritty of what he needed to have to finish up the plant collars while he waited for the wood to be collected.

“So who in the village would you say has the highest level of plant magic?”

“Me and one other have the skill at the eighth level, why?”

“Just going to need your hand for a moment,” He told her, taking it and opening the connection, unable to keep himself from peeking to see if she had any other interesting skills before copying the sole magic she possessed to a ring.

Looking at it with his limited analysis, he couldn’t help but smile to see he was able to copy the totality of the skill, unlike in the past where his attempt had left him getting only the third level when the fifth was available. It was clear proof that his connect and enchanting had grown, even if he still wanted to go farther.

Definitely going to need to update the enchantments on my possessed tree and Fredrick’s pot now that I’ve got this but for the time being, let’s get started.

Along with his new and improved plant magic ring, he also slipped on a seventh-level minor soul magic one he’d made while he was with the demidemons and picked up one of the tree collars he needed to finish, blending the two enchantments along with the highest level of earth, water, and life magic he had access to in an effort to ensure it would have the most powerful effect it could as he quickly finished it, putting it to the side and starting the next as he waited.

Seeing he would be working on it for a while, Hentath went to rally more people to gather wood for him while Fontesh patted her daughter’s head before leaving with a few words, off to finish some chores.

It was only Delair who stayed with him and Thera, staring intently at what he was doing with her weak mana sense as he did his best to speed through everything, the toys he’d brought with him forgetting in favour of seeing what he could do.

“Curious?” He asked with a grin, happy the child seemed interested in his work and getting a surprising response in return.

“Uh huh, nobody here was able to teach me how to so I gotta learn now that you’re here!” She told him with a bright smile, eager to figure out the secret of it to try herself but still managing to catch him off guard.

“You want to learn how to enchant?”

“Yeah, even though I haven’t gotten the skill yet I’ve still been working really hard, see?”

As she said that she pulled out her card, her chest puffed out with pride as she held it out to him to take a look as his eyes skimmed over it, a second surprise coming to him as he did.

“You have the zeroth level of crafting?”

“Yep,” She told him confidently, before taking a change to the bashful. “I need it if I’m going to be your apprentice one day.”

…I did put out that offer when I left last time, didn’t I?

Thera was looking at him curiously, wondering just how he would respond as he focused on the girl, wanting to probe her interest. He wasn’t just going to dismiss her desire, if she not only remembered that casual offer but had been working hard enough to get the crafting skill then she must have felt serious about it, but it seemed far outside what he would have expected her future to hold.
