56 Francis woke up (1/2)

Loneliness flashed through her eyes. The beast hall had long been destroyed and was now standing as an old structure surrounded by algae and large vines.

”It's gone” Madel said after a deep sigh.

”Gone?” Cheska and Henry could not help but feel stifled.

If the beast hall was gone, who was controlling the celestial formation? Who was maintaining the order within the dark forest. Even with powerful beast hall in other countries, break outs and mischief still happens when beasts roam around to hunt humans. With so many celestial beasts who have proud, territorial and arrogant attitude, how did they managed to live harmoniously like one big happy family? Actually, it looked more like they were all Madel's servant.

So many questions lingered in their mind.

Truly, their expected trip in the forest was the most surprising adventure they had since they were born. Even Helen who had visited so many planet was amazed with the unique ecosystem that they discovered within the dark forest.

”If the beast hall is gone how… how...?” Henry did not even know where to start with his inquiry. Did Madel really grew up with only beasts by her side? How was she able to mingle with the society? How did the beast hall perished and when? Who raised the celestial barrier? Why were all the beasts who could not cultivate are now in the highest level of cultivation they could ever reach?

Cheska was thinking of the same things, but they needed to accomplish their goal in the forest. That is to check the available herbs and gather them if possible. She looked at Henry and Helen. They immediately caught her message. Knowing a lot of things can cost them their life in an unknown territory so it was best to keep their curiosity on check.

Francis who looked like a sleeping prince charming in bed of flowers must lay down there, while they look for herbs.

”Okay, let's look for herbs first, I have already listed the possible herbs that would go well with each other. Here if you see any of these that will do.”

Cheska almost choked on her saliva upon seeing the list. Henry did not plan on making a humble herb garden. The herbs that he listed were top grade rare herbs which are used for 1st to 9th tier pills. Understanding the market well, Henry's list tells the public that their herb garden only provides what the market cannot. The garden was a true show off. It did not hold back on showing the academy who is the richest and most abled student.

Helen, with her previous memory recognized the herbs as well. As expected of Henry's standard. His output should always be the best, if not, there is no point in starting it. But, didn't they originally planned to make a humble set up for the garden. If it was his definition of humble, what would he mean by extravagant then.

Four Kidon (Bird with purple feather spanning 8 ft long) lined up in an organized manner to give them a ride. The purple aura that surrounded the birds also showed that they are celestial beasts.

Henry decided to look at Francis first before going, they all went to where he lay.
