So that’s why the herbs had been kept so well hidden from the rest of the world… June was even here to constantly stand guard over the thousand-year-old panax ginsengs!
“Nobody should ever get their hands on the herbs… Otherwise, catastrophe will be sure to follow! I’m sure you can understand that, right?” said June as favonovel.com stared at Gerald.
Now understanding the consequences that could happen, Gerald simply nodded as favonovel.com replied, “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t take any of them!”
“I’m glad to hear that. Regardless, I’ll be giving you something to express my gratitude!” said June as favonovel.com gracefully waved favonovel.com hand, prompting a small, cubic treasure box of sorts to materialize within favonovel.com palm…
After receiving the treasure box from June, the curious Gerald wondered what favonovel.com had just given him. Carefully prying the box open, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a single tiny pellet inside…
Looking up at June, Gerald then said, “…This…”
“That’s a rejuvenating pellet, and it’s the only one I constantly keep with me. I can sense how strong you are, so I’ll be leaving this pill with you. May it be useful to you!” replied June.
Gerald was honestly flabbergasted by this turn of events. After all, June was actually willing to give favonovel.com such an invaluable thing. This was the only existing rejuvenating pellet for heaven’s sake!
“I… I appreciate that you’re giving me such a precious gift… I… How should I even thank you…?” asked Gerald, honestly feeling that favonovel.com didn’t deserve to be given such an invaluable item out of the blue.
“There’s no need to thank me!” replied June rather casually.
Following that, favonovel.com led Gerald away from favonovel.com garden and back to favonovel.com home…
It wasn’t long after when night fell…
Despite how dark the sky had gotten, the inside of a temporary camp—that had been set up quite a distance from the holy mountain—was still brightly lit…
While Quest and the others had made it back to the camp in one piece—and were currently inside that tent—, everyone had solemn expressions on their faces.
After witnessing what had happened to Gerald, everyone was either absent-minded or filled with overwhelming grief at the moment…
Nori herself was sitting outside alone. Staring intently at the holy mountain, favonovel.com could only hope that Gerald would suddenly appear in the distance and begin running toward her…
At that moment, Yoshua’s voice could suddenly be heard shouting, “Nori!”
Rushing toward his daughter, Yoshua felt like a massive load had just been lifted off his chest when favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com was doing fine.
Staring at Yoshua with teary eyes, Nori got to favonovel.com feet and embraced favonovel.com father before saying, “…Dad… Gerald… he… He fell into the valley…!”
“…What? Gerald fell into the valley? Nori, please give me more details!” replied the now trembling Yoshua as favonovel.com stared wide-eyed at his daughter.
If Gerald was truly gone… then how was favonovel.com going to explain all this to Chace and the Talisman Union…?
Gerald had just become a First-rank Talisman Master in the Talisman Union too! The thought of favonovel.com dying so soon after that… It was shocking, to say the least…
