Tafel frowned as Kim Hajun walked away from her group. He was heading towards the cube where the jar distribution was taking place. Rather than a distribution center with a neat and orderly queue, the cube was surrounded by violence. People were fighting and shouting, clawing at each other to take their jars. Should we get some jars before its too late?
We could always wait right here until everythings over, Lindyss said. When someone else finishes harvesting the ant honey, well take their jar and put it in the bin.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
I like the sound of that plan, Erin said, sticking her head out of Lindyss robes. I have a question though. Do I need a jar of honey to pass too?
Yeah, Sheryl said from the sunlike rune on Vurs shoulder. Do elementals need to turn in honey too? What about the spirit animals inside of you?
Vur rubbed his chin. Those were good questions, and seeing as Gaegukja Yeol had disappeared herself, there was no one around to answer them. In that case, there was only one thing to do. Vur rolled his shoulders backwards and took in a deep breath as he warmed up his body. He walked towards the crowd of people, the brown rune on his forearm glowing. Tafel and Lindyss glanced at each other, and Lindyss took two steps backwards, ignoring the look Tafel gave her in the process.
Well, the strong people wouldnt be fighting over jars, Erin said. I wasnt really paying attention earlier. Was there someone impressive enough to catch your eye?
No, Lindyss said. There was something strange about Kim Hajun though. Its like hes been marked by something. If I had to take a guess, then Id say something or someone strong is using him as a proxy. She glanced at the diamond that Tafel still hadnt put away. If I were you, Id hang on to that Heart of Fire.
Yeah, Tafel said and nodded. How could she rely on a random stranger to identify an item for herfor free, no less? At the very least, the random stranger had to be a licensed appraiser with a stellar reputation backing them, not someone who had a vested interest in the item she wanted appraised. But we can worry about that later. Im a bit concerned about completing the quest we were given.
Really? Lindyss asked and raised an eyebrow. Harvesting honey from ants. How hard can it be?
Thats the thing, Tafel said and furrowed her brow. Do ants even make honey?
Im sure they do, Lindyss said. If they didnt, we wouldnt have been given the task. And like I said before, we can always snatch someone elses jar of honey, so even if we cant figure it out, well still be fine.
