[F1-PP] Nomad's Intention (Natures Treasure)

[Raidou 1]

A modest haul lay dormant in this small man-made construction in the particular position it now found itself in. A creaking of the hinges as a bit of the dust from the environment that had been lodged in the small seams between them breaks free at the movement. The lid raises to reveal a small bag of some coins of the size of about a golf ball tied tightly along with two small wrapped linen items bound just as tout as the rest. Also within was a couple more unassuming bolts of fabric, all of which Raidou took care to gingerly remove still cautious at any possible rigging that could still be present. But after a few moments of soft removal and bracing for possible backlash yields nothing more than that which was contained within the small structure. Pleased with what had been retrieved, and what didn't happen that could of Raidou leaves the now empty container as it had served its purpose.

Leaving the empty box alone and moving back to the multicolored crystal, where he had been prior to finish what he had started. They seem to be still in the state he had left them, still reflecting the sunlight like they had like a beacon drawing him back. A few more pop free in a cinch with no difficulty in extraction, collecting into a mass of gleaming light at Raidou's side as he deftly pulls them free one by one. The sun was still high above him signifying the time he had remaining, and exhaustion still seemed to be well off from pressing in, a subtle wind seemed to take the trees and the ends of his robe along with the strands of hair from his brow. The breeze was refreshing and calming as if nature itself was attempting to aid him and keep him to the goals he had in mind.

A final few seemingly falling free with no resistance and take respite joining its brethren to the swordsman's side, Raidou adding them with the rest and robbing the last that was protruding from the housing of the rounded node. Raidou unhooks the bag he had anchored to his leather, within the first few recording crystals he claimed. Dropping down to one knee and beginning to scoop them up one at a time, attentively adding them inside as to not allow them to clash together and deal damage to one another. After a few minutes, under the softened wind that kept him pressing through Raidou adds them all to the bag. Raidou stands and stretches a bit, as he had been slouched over for quite some time now and hopes to get the blood flowing freely through his muscles and joints. A pop of something in his back builds a slight bit of discomfort before its replaced with relief.

Raidou was sure he could keep going for quite some time as the task was becoming easier with each successful harvest. Taking a quick census of what he had already with the opening of each bag and taking mental notes of the contents inside, Raidou found he had about a dozen or so of each type. Surely the sheer volume and diversity of what Raidou had pulled up would serve of use to the guild. Raidou makes sure that each is affixed to his belt securely before moving to a fresher section of the garden, for he had done an excellent job of emptying this one out in its entirety. Thankfully the cardinal had assumed that perhaps the area would be abustle with multiple players who would aim to harvest from these small bounties, but it had not counted on one player who could be so persistent enough to continue to harvest for hours.

This garden just as well-stocked as the previous, Raidou wasn't sure how much he would remove from this one though. The nomad had a shopping list so to speak, and the resources here would not cut it for everything he needed to accomplish his goal of stocking up the vault properly. Adjusting the cloak on his back as it had begun to slouch a bit after the constant movement he had been putting it through, pulling the cable that kept it around his neck and around the plated glove on his arm to pull it tighter and stop it from dropping down. A faint glow of gold bleed from a patch of herbs, Raidou immediately recognizing them to be golden-thread and aimed to claim them for himself. Lording over the patch and shifting the leaves with his fingertips Raidou finds a few ripe enough to remove and does so collecting them at his side.

With very little objection from the small trail of golden leaves underneath him, Raidou removes them with ease adding them with grace to the small pile at his side with little issue. The glint a bit in the sunlight, appearing almost metallic although they are plants which purvey the reason they have been coined as golden-thread due to how the leaves looked of real gold. The patch seems fruitful enough to continue working it, the soil was rich enough to sustain the sheer numbers of mature plants that shared the small hearth of nutrients well enough to not strangle the rest. Raidou wipes a bit of wear from his brow, keeping his mind focused on the task at hand as he mills over subtly shuffling about on his feet and grabbing each that he can find. Three more grace the pile nudging the dozen he had a tad closer to two.

The amount here started to dwindle down with each extracted, Raidou starting to notice a recurring pattern of only twelve or so materials being available to harvest before it began to run dry from use. The others seemed immature, the gold of the plant is closer to a mustard yellow without the same sheen along its leaves painting them almost the same shade as heart-bulbs without the greyed stock and roots that this plant had. Tapping his hands together to rid them of the filth of the dirt he had been playing in, Raidou finds reluctance paired with gratitude for what he had removed from the patch. Leaning down and claiming what he had into the satchel strapped to his right hip, content with the success and leaving the rest to grow to claim later his attention shift elsewhere in hopes of finding more of value to add to his collection.

Taking a quick once over of what was left with an aim to leave most of the area untapped for a later date when he may need it once again, Raidou harvested a little more of everything to attempt to round out the counts of each. Two gemstones from a rock surface flat, a sapphire, and a ruby respectively fall free in an uncut state ready for further processing. Carving a hunk of stone off the side of a node, Raidou claims a couple of units of rich stone glimmering with some odd bright yellow metal streaming through it, looking of gold but lighter. Then to a few webs that hung between branches of the canopy that surrounded the area, the webs feeling slightly cool to the touch and were thick enough to suspend large mammals within. Lastly, a few carrots that found hearth in similar soil of the herbs Raidou was so adept at raising, finding ease in removal given the similar process that it required.

Assembling himself in expectation to press on, for the values he had silently kept a mental tally of seemed great enough to Raidou. Leaving the rest of the garden for a later time, or perhaps to another to come and find equal wealth within Raidou was not certain. Adjusting his glasses with a bit of filth still finding his fingertips, Raidou tightens his robe and the sacks that adorned his belt. A steady walk takes him from the location, toward the town of beginnings onto the warp gate upon which he was intimate with given his constant journies. Using the gate with a soft whisper "Floor 11" it lights blue and carries him posthaste to his destination.

Moved to Floor 11

Landing with a flash of blue in the city of Taft, and finding his way to the board here accepts the same quest as floor 1's variant. Beating a path out, following the nav provided Raidou makes his way to this floors garden that took the shape of a courtyard maintained by NPC in high population here. Getting to work without pause or hesitation.

The resources on this floor found themselves encapsulated in tan stone fencing, with varied NPC hurried about tending to what was here. They seemed to pay Raidou little mind, however, as he was allowed his silence and individualism here in the peaceful court of materials. First, on the chopping block, herbs of this sectionals quality, and Raidou found his way to a pack of red that fit the type. Understanding them to be bloody herbs, despite the floor difference altering their quality Raidou begins to harvest them with little pause building a small collection of them to one side with little problems given his experience in dealing with such. There was an obvious chatter that bled in from his surroundings but Raidou found serenity in his task, the work he was performing breaking him into his own world away from all the hubbub of the city of Taft around him.

The family of plants continued to offer themselves up with each designation of maturity that danced upon the leaves that sprung up from the ground. Raidou took them happily with a calm mind, centered around the space he was in enjoying the effect the action had on him. NPC shuffled past him and proceeded to a small outcropping of stone, checking over its surface with a sliding hand and a subtle nod. Raidou took attention to this and made a note to take himself to this stone next as if the NPC was pointing this object out to the nomad. Another few quick and nimble motions of his hands retract more and more herbs from their homes in the same small pile he was building up to his right side, hoping to claim all of the worth before any interruption here could rob him of the chance to do so.

The contents of the stretch of plants begin to wane in the count available to him, following the determination he had made prior as he was becoming accustomed to the amounts available in each node. Finding solace in what he had, Raidou begins to scoop them up in the same routine that had proven so effective, adding the bulk of red into his satchel that was starting to amass quite the quantity inside it. A tap of his hands, and a dust of his knees to remove the filth Raidou stands and heads to the node the NPC had been inspecting. It seemed rich with a metal of a dark red shade, as Raidou had deduced might be the case given the NPC's interest in the stone. The NPC had since moved on from the spot, leaving Raidou the full thing to himself to work over and see what it would yield after harvest.

A clash of his steel upon the rocky node after close inspection shatters it to pieces, large hunks of stone lay in shards along the courtyard floor. Littered about the well-kept turf, Raidou begins to sift through the wreckage. It became immediately apparent that the rock was filled with material of worth, the dark red veins shown through the gray easily given the sheer color difference between them. Sheathing his blade and taking down low enough to mill through the fragments of what was there, Raidou begin to sift through them and pick out the ones rich enough for refinement. Dividing each to a separated section, the ones unfit for processing to his left and the ones that were in a small collective to his right. It took him a bit of time to do so, and the solar star above that appeared the same as the one on floor 1.

The bright yellow started to designate that the clock was shifting more toward the afternoon, as it started to turn a bit orange in the light it cast over the grass here on floor 11. Raidou started to feel a bit more urgency, as the list he had was still not complete and had much more to build up before the day was through. A couple more of these hunks of red ore set aside from the pieces of stone that remained, one of the NPC move to meet the nomad and begins to speak at him "Quite the haul huh, we do our best to maintain the resources here and pride in the quality" it spoke in an almost analog scripted phrase, which is all Raidou could perceive it as. "I appreciate your efforts, but I have a bit of a time crunch ahead of me." Raidou remarked hoping that the words would buy him his silence once again.

The NPC nods at Raidou with a reply "Thank you, feel free to take what you need. I and the others will try our best not to bother you then." as her blonde hair underneath a brown wrap encasing the top of her head lets slip a few her bangs as she bows forward. Retracting and shuffling away to the best of her ability in this leather apron covered dress, Raidou can't help but feel a bit reticent as if it was actually a person. He knew they were not as such, but given the design and how well they were made it was hard to convince yourself they are not human. The wasted stone seemed to start to become bare, the pebbled remains became less and less rich as time went on. Raidou decided to leave what was here alone, it seemed that he'd be claiming no more from the wreckage that lingered in the grass.

Rising to his feet and adjusting his glasses that found themselves slipping from the bridge of his nose, Raidou seizes what he has removed from the terrain. Scooping them into the same linen bag that the rest of the ores where contained, doing his best to keep their entry soft and undestructive to the rest inside it takes him some time to add them in as they are added one at a time. Raidou cannot help but inspect the weird rich red that each bled off into his eyes, the color close to the hued red fabric of his cloak on his back, matched with a speckle of sparkle amongst the lines drawn through the grey. It was not a metal he was familiar with, and he was studied in real-world metals enough to know this was not one. But it made little effect on his harvest, Raidou kept them none the less.

Raidou found himself eager to see what might come of each of them with age, wondering what this metal might be but it was not in his skill set to work it himself. They would have to be given to Griswold or another blacksmith and worked to ingots, hammered in pure metal or alloyed Raidou wasn't sure of the tinsel strength that the refined variant may have.

Taking in his environment between these small brick fence lines that comprised the network of nodes that made up his surroundings, a rapid visual browse to see what may fit a different class of material. His eyes catch small cut earth of tilled state, upon its drawn lines in straights obviously worked by gardening implements were a few orbs of green: Cabbage. Not the most desired foods to say the least, but it may serve a purpose in the coming operations and planning.

They were ripe it seemed, given Raidou's read knowledge regarding them being his fall back for a piece of information on this fact. Pulling the leaves away from the sides of the spheres and sliding his hand in a cupped fashion between the opening it pops free yielding an intact ball of green foliage. Turning the globule of lime green around to inspect for rot, it seemed devoid of such issue and Raidou removes his cloak and begins to set them on it to keep the filth from grinding into its surface and damaging the food. The method seemed correct, and Raidou kept his harvest in full momentum while grabbing a few more from the earth in a similar style. He continues to surprise himself at his capability. Raidou's insistent book reading that others deemed worthless being more and more useful to him in each instance he had to refer to it.

It seemed this knowledge had given him the ability to perform a task it came back with a fine result, making the harvest of such trivial, to say the least. Finishing up on the spheres, it was apparent that this area wasn't quite as fruitful as the last. Raidou was convinced this was more than likely due to the time of day he had started working this floor, as other players had already had the chance to remove some of the resources that were contained here. The garden of green balled food began to run dry much sooner than expected, Raidou's eyes dart to his yield and with a mental tally denotes a count of twelve or so. Possibly the nomad was mistaken, these were the numbers he was familiar with being possible from each node. He must have gotten more lost in his endeavor than he was lead to believe, subconsciously losing track of the amount of the harvest.

Picking himself up and moving upward in floors, taking care to retract the nuggets of planted food from the surface of his cloak. Adding each to the bag with the carrots and the like he had retrieved, Raidou removed his cloak from the dust and fluttered it to shake the dirt from it as best as he could before returning it to his shoulders. Heading toward Taft's center, back to the warp gate with a subtle whisper "Floor 21" Raidou ascends up to the next tier of Aincrad.

Moved to Floor 21

The familiar damp muggy scent tickles his nose, Tomoika rears back at him. Eyesight taking but a moment or two to adjust, given the sheer change in lighting from a brightly lit exterior to a dim-lit interior of this cavern Raidou pauses and lets his vision return. Blinking and confirming his sight, Raidou finds his way around the bustling city of crystals.
