Harvard decided to try and train himself in using golden seal while lots of other people were dealing with the incoming army.
He had an idea of how golden seal truly worked, and it didn't just involve golden seal, it also involved the skill slim down. Though it had a normal name, it was actually quite miraculous when he tried it. His body could get longer in many places, and he could even wrap around a rock like a rope.
Once he did that, then golden seal worked! However, it was really hard! Even with the golden snake eating the expensive meat he got for goldy a long time ago, he felt like an idiot! He'd completely lose his combat power if he wrapped the Kraken's like this! Also, he could barely stretch enough to fit around a rock! He needed another ability that made him grow larder!
"Golgol," Harvards name for the snake. "You-you mind telling me how you go so good at stretching?"
"Mmm! Mmm!" Golgol meant he wanted more food so Harvard fed him. "Reh! Rah Rah! Rooh! Rooh!"
