Chapter 240 - Seths Lair (1/2)

Michael already stayed in the village for five days.

During those days, he helped around the village by doing some simple quest that they had given him, like taking care of their huge vegetable garden where they planted some vegetables that could survive the cold weather, which is, in fact, the food source that provides for the village, which took up almost one-fourth of the land in the village.

One of the plants even looked like a sweet potato, but its leaves are two times or maybe even three times bigger than the regular sweet potato plant, and they grow fast.

And without this garden, they would have already starved to death.

”I should have brought Amanda and Viper with me instead of going solo in this place” Michael sighed with helplessness, as he stood on top of rampart wall and gaze towards the distance, where everything is covered in only one color, white.

”Tell me, young adventurer, why does someone like you had come all the way out here?” a hunchback old lady holding a cane acting as her walking stick stood beside Michael and asked.

Michael turned his head towards this newcomer, and answered, ”Curiosity and at the same time, the sense of adventure”

The old woman just smiled and didn't say anything for a couple of moments.

Michael was already acquainted with this old woman two days ago. If Old Buck is the village chief, then this old woman is the village Druid.

If the village is like a human body, then this old woman beside Michael would be its heart, because without her, then the vegetable garden wouldn't exist, and the villagers also wouldn't exist, and this place would be just an abandoned village.

That's why she is the most important and most respected person inside this small isolated village.

But the most amazing thing is this old lady is a...halfling!

A freaking Half-elf!

The existence of Elves is what makes a game, a true fantasy game!

But the weird and most suspicious point in Michael's eyes is that he can't see any information about the old lady.

[Sonya] [???]

Level: ???

'Just who is this old lady? Don't tell me she's actually one of the Sages?' Michael thought while glancing at the old woman beside him from the corner of his eye.

”Do you think I can hunt the monsters roaming around this land?” Michael turned his head towards Sonya.

Sonya suddenly laughed with that old lady laugh and said, ”Well, can you?”

Michael grinned, and his pair of eyes glittered with a thirst of battle and adventure, and then he replied to her with a voice full of confidence.

”I can”

”Then bring me five heads of the Ice Trolls”

”Huh?”

Michael screamed angrily in the middle of nowhere with pure whiteness everywhere.

”Now, I need a plan to take down an Ice Troll by myself” Michael started thinking hard.
