DING!

Affinity to Nature increased by 2.
Fame increased by 25.
The flower the gardner gave was of a kind that grew easily and with the intervention of Weed’s Art stat and Handicraft, the skill level increased in a breath of a moment. Also the flower suited Seo Yoon really well and it was one of the reasons he received a lot of skill mastery.
With the white flower pinned in her hair, Seo Yoon looked really beautiful and gave off a feeling of loveliness. Seo Yoon also pinned a flower next to Weed’s ear. A message window also popped up for her.
Mastery of Flower Arrangement rose slightly.
The white flower pinned on Weed’s hair, withered in the blink of an eye. It was as if some unseen force was sucking up the nutrients!
“I don’t think that flower was healthy.”
Weed thought as such. Even if it wasn’t the truth, his heart wanted to believe otherwise.
To find Fabiane, they went to the second house. But inside were children waiting for their parents to return.
“They went to sell some flowers in the market. My mom knows a place in Serabourg Citadel where a lot of pretty flowers bloom.”
“The evil goblins are appearing frequently so it’s difficult to pluck flowers these days. It will be nice if someone defeats them… For us it’s really important but I think it would be too easy for you to do. I don’t have anything to properly reward you with if you clear out the Goblins so I will ask someone else to handle it.”
Weed’s fame was so high it was difficult for the children to give him a quest. As long as Seo Yoon with her high fame and level. did not deliberately ask to accompany him on the quest, there was no reason to accept it.
And so the third house! A granny with deep wrinkles was sitting by the window sill, looking at the yellow flowers.
“Are you perhaps Fabian-nim?”
“For a young man to come looking for me, what did you come here for?”
“I came here to learn more about Queen Evane.”
“It’s not a story that should be told on the street. Please come inside the house.”
As the door opened Weed and Seo Yoon entered her house.
“Please have this while you ask all your questions. You mustn’t skip your meals when you are young.”
The food Fabiane brought them was poached potatoes!
Completing quests in Serabourg Citadel blessed them with meals. Truthfully, one of the most developed businesses in Serabourg Citadel was the food industry. There wasn’t any old traditional food but the restaurants, steakhouses, and seafood buffets were famous. Through the development of a Chef’s daring menu, they could even open a speciality restaurant serving monsters as food.
“Nom nom, this is shockingly good.”
“It’s nice to see you eating it deliciously. I have plenty of potatoes so eat as much as you want.”
“Is it too much to ask if you could pack some for the road?”
“I heard you are quite a famous adventurer… it won’t be a problem to pack you a basket.”
Even while sharing such conversation, Weed was peeling off the potatoes skin fast like a ghost.
