63 Almanac of Medicinal Plants. (2/2)

Long Yu sighed, ”Well I could not completely trust you all, except Veronica but I never got chance to warn her as well, but since that time I think I have at least gained some form of trust enough to disclose it to you all as I feared you guys would try to acquire my skill causing a fight occurring between us.”

Ryofu sighed, ”Well I do not like being accused of something as disgracing as steeling but at the same time I am happy that you trust us now.”

Long Yu gave a grateful smile at that.

Ayesha: ”Long Yu I wanted to ask you about something how did your knowledge of plants so great?”

Long Yu raised an eyebrow as he answered, ”I just memorized the 'Almanac of Medicinal Plants.'”

Ayesha looked thunderstruck, not only her some of the people present looked surprised as well.

Kyouki asked him in a shaky voice, ”How, how did you get that book?”

Long Yu was confused, his master when gave him the book to read had mentioned him that the book was one of the most popular book regarding botany, ”I read it in my family library, may I ask why are you surprised?”

Ayesha: ”Library such a precious and legendary book is in your family library.”

Long Yu spoke looking at her incredulously, ”What are you talking about it is a very popular book, and is best for children to learn from.”

Helen: ”Who told you that, only the Alchemist association has a single copy, and many credit their rise in power to the book.”

Long Yu: ”huh, what are talking about, 'Almanac of Medicinal Plants.', is just a book which deals with botany making it helpful in identification of one easy, nothing more nothing less. But the book is very easy to understand and helpful especially for the beginners. ”

Jack just let out a whistle at that, ”I just wonder who wrote such a book.”

Long Yu: ”Oh some Elven person whose name is something 'Woodbark', or something like that.”

Everyone looked bug eyed at him, ”Elven Person???”

Meanwhile back in Ayindril,

Celestia scowled, ”I have to teach Ryuu not to draw unnecessary attention towards him, there was no need to mention about Elven race to them, but it also make me wonder what kind of Backwater place they are in if they consider, 'Almanac of Medicinal Plants.', as legendary.”

Others just nodded in agreement with her.
