Chapter 154 - Sunny Clover (1/2)

”Well, I`m here,” Evan said calmly, looking out over the spacious, green clearing.

It was the most ordinary clearing where it was always quiet and nothing out of the ordinary was going on. Only peace and quiet.

Evan climbed off the horse and headed toward the plant he had come here for. ”Sunny Clover” was not rare or unique. It was a common plant used in many different fields of endeavor.

Externally, ”Sun Clover” was very much like the common clover, but its petals were yellow and pointed at the end. Also, unlike ordinary clover, the ”Sun Clover” had five petals, no more, no less.

<I need to collect only forty and the task will be done, it's pretty easy. Although, why am I surprised if it's the task of lowest difficulty and the lowest reward.>

Evan thought, collecting the ”Sun Clover”.

Unlike Sana, he had a spatial ring, so he wouldn't have to lug a basket or a bag.

Plucking another flower, Evan remembered something: <Oh, let`s use the ”Eye of Truth” on them, I wonder what that plant's ”Pillar of Soul” looks like.>

Whoosh.

Evan's ”Warp” twirled and a second later the iris of his eye glowed.

”Eye of Truth” was very useful, and also required very little mana to activate. You could use it a few hundred times until it ran out of mana, and that's considering Evan was a newbie magician.

The ”Pillar of Soul” of the ”Sun Clover” was no different from the ”Pillar of Soul” of the rat brought by Draven. By the standards of this world, they were creatures with about the same power.

”How dull it is...” Evan mouthed slowly, remembering how bright Draven`s ”Pillar of Soul” had been.

Evan continued to collect the ”Sun Clover” until he had forty pieces.

<Good, a job is done, though it was more like a simple walk. I wonder who and how would use this plant?> Evan thought as he walked slowly toward his horse.

He only stopped here for one task he had already completed. Now he had to get to the ”Half-Dead Forest”. By the horse, he would get there fairly quickly.

”Let's go” Said Evan and his horse took off into the distance.

...

After a while, Evan reached the ”Half-Dead Forest”. To his surprise, the road where the rock avalanche had struck was perfectly fine now.

To be more precise, a couple of hours after the path had been destroyed, ”The Last Moon” gave the task to create a new one. One of the students who had the right spell took the task and easily created a small ledge along the rock.

”It was fixed so quickly, how unlucky I was that day. If this had happened a couple of days before I left, I would have been walking on a brand new trail instead of on the edge of this fucking wood.”  Evan said, heading toward where he had to jump down that time.

He had originally planned to enter the ”Half-Dead Forest” by the path from which he had out of it last time. But, since the trail was back in its place, he just decided to walk to the fallen tree and jumped down to it.

If a similar collapse and destruction had occurred somewhere in the woods, no one would have fixed it. But this road was a very important route for traders and travelers. For the same reason, there had been someone, who paid ”Moon Coins” for its restoration.

Moreover, the fallen boulders were still lying next to the fallen tree. All that was needed only to restore the path, the rest was unimportant.
