CH.304 Spreading Flowers
Over the next few days, I kept up the schedule of improving the avatar dolls and practicing my draconic skills. My brief contact with being a dragon really helped in that aspect, as with already having both skills, Laura was able to help a lot more than she was able to before I had the skills.
It is strange how the System works sotis. With so skills, like Mana Control, Laura was able to basically use it, before I had the skill, but with others she cannot. I feel like it might have sothing to do with active vs passive skills, but Mana Control isn’t exactly passive either. Or maybe it has sothing to do with how common/necessary the skill is? Mana Control does seem to be the cornerstone of almost every other skill. Naturally all magical skills use it, but even plenty of physical skills get powered up by Mana Control.
Well, back to the skills. Thanks to now having the skills at level 1, I was a lot more successful at using the skills. With Draconic Body, I could spread dragon scales across most of my torso area, but moving towards my legs was still challenging. I also couldn’t bring them to my face, but I feel like part of that was just my own ntal issue.
As for Draconic Magic, well, I did figure out how to make flas in my mouth, but I struggled to actually send them out in a way where they had any reach. I can cheat the racial skills up in level, by the way, so both were now LV.2.
As for the avatar dolls, figuring out that DNA Surgery affects them sped up the progress of making monster-type specific avatar dolls a lot. Sure, making a ‘blank’ avatar doll and installing a card into it to turn it into a type specific doll does cost a card, but I can get them easily enough. Different Dinsion Capsule for the win.

That ans that I should be able to combine the human and dragon forms of the Dragonmaids into so combined card, where the maids will be able to swap to their dragon form at will. But will a humanoid avatar doll be able to hold sothing like that? Maybe I need to make a full dragon sized avatar doll, fuse it together with a human sized one, and then have those host the Dragonmaids?
Well, I’ll look into that later, when I actually combine one of my Dragonmaids with their dragon form.
“Hello again, Paulina. I’m glad you agreed to this little … arrangent.”
“Well, Father was instantly for it, as the request ca from you.” Paulina responded. “But I do wish you’d have gone into more detail.”
“Sorry, but it is a secret, so I really didn’t want to write it in a letter. I’ll tell you about it now.”
I had gone to the Sawyer manor today. My goal was simple, planting so mana flowers.
Now why would I choose this place? … do you really need to ask that? Didn’t think so.
So I sent a letter via the letter exchanger to them yesterday, got a response that evening, and now I’m here. I asked for Paulina’s help, so we could convert a flower bed to hold the mana flowers. Or we can make a new one. And with Paulina having access to both earth and water magic, she will be a great help.
As for the other reason I picked this place. Well, I wanted a place I trust to hold the first bed patch. What better place than the Sawyer manor? You might say Alewatch and the Watchman house, but with Paulina here, she can look after the flowers. And she should do quite a good job, as she is skilled in magic.
The magic releasing device is also in its … experintal phase, so I can’t plant these flowers just wherever I want. I need a place where I know soone will check-up on them every day, and can get in contact with if anything goes wrong.
I told most of that to Paulina as we were working with the gardener to pick out a spot to plant the flowers into.
“... okay? I’ll make the hole.” Paulina said, before she focused a bit so she could use earth magic.
“Thanks.”
We need a hole first, so I can install… I shouldn’t use that word, even if it is true. I can put in all of the equipnt the flowers need under them.
Paulina just watched, as I put in 5 Pitch-Black Magic Stones, aka. magic stones with Pitch-Black Power Stone installed in them. They are what makes this entire operation work.

Now again, I was using Paulina as my guinea pig. I can do all the factory tests I want, but at so point, so mage will have to pick up the staff and use it. Sure I could have Alice do it, but she is a bit too special. I don’t want her to break the staff as soon as she gets it.
… and I don’t want to show her my hand. Now that I know I can Poly objects together, I can make even better plans for the ‘Best Swordstaff in the World’ project. I can just make multiple that are great individually and then fuse them together into one super weapon.
At least that is the current plan.
“... this staff? What is it made of?”
“A mix of a few tals and so … greater treant wood.” I lied a bit, just so Paulina wouldn’t freak out.
“... I guess considering you, that isn’t too strange.” Paulina said. “I just don’t understand the structure at all. How can soone make this?”
“I just did. Also, like the flowers, it is still experintal. So do you think you could write up a report about it? How it feels to use and all of that?”
“... okay? I will.”
“Thanks.”
With that taken care of, I was ready to leave. Well, I did have tea with Thomas and Ellinora first, but after that, I was done.
Also, for the mission to spread the flowers, I got a few cards.
Spread the Flowers
Flowers planted in Sawyer city at the Sawyer family estate
Reward: Aromage Jasmine, Aromage Cananga, Aromage Rosemary and Aromage Bergamot
A few Aromages to be specific. It is nice to have more humanoid Plant-type monsters.

After I got back to HoBase, I began working on the next experint. It was ti for HoBase to stop just floating and start actually moving.
That was because the dinsional magic spell that was going to make HoBase had been completed, as well as added into the Citadel core.
I activated the spell and then headed outside. I wanted to see the effectiveness myself. I headed to an area of HoBase where I was planning to turn into so sort of an airstrip/helipad for take-offs and landings, and summoned a monster to ride.
“Dragonmaid Sheou.”

I decided to call my Dragonmaid, as she is cool, and I haven’t summoned her dragon form since that one ti I summoned her while we were clearing HoBase.
I got on the dragon’s back, and we took off. I had her fly a bit away from HoBase, so we would be outside the dinsional magic spell.
As I turned back to look, I could still see HoBase. This was actually by design, as the hiding spell wouldn’t affect , Agunan, Alice, Lua or Ria. Basically anyone that has a HoBase access device.
“... okay. Let’s temporarily disable being able to see through the barrier…” I muttered, as I navigated Dungeon Founder to do just that.
After I did, HoBase disappeared from my sight. It just… vanished.
I had Sheou fly around where I knew HoBase was, but from any angle, including above, you really couldn’t see it.
Then to test the other part of the barrier, I activated Rain of rcy so I could get so rain. I had the Rain rain straight on to where HoBase should be.

This was to test if weather effects, like rain, would reveal the unseeable HoBase. But as it was designed, the dinsional barrier moved the rain to below HoBase, while the visual parts of it made sure you couldn’t see that happening.
I was happy with how it was working, so I can definitely approve of the work my monsters put into designing it.
I then made myself again able to see HoBase, and ordered Sheou to fly back. After landing, I unsummoned her dragon form, and summoned her maid form instead. For no other reason than I can.

After a quick visit to the Citadel control room, aka Citadel core room, I returned to my own room. I took a nice position on my bed, and jumped into Different Dinsion Factory.
I have so monsters to reward.
