Chapter 154 - Sunny Clover
"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.
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: "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. 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 **ing 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. "All right, I'm here, now I have to get down. " Slowly Evan mouthed as he looked at the fallen tree at the bottom of the slope. Whoosh. He quickly jumped down and plunging his scythe blade into the rock slowly descended. The young man headed toward where he had left the one-eyed raven in its icy coffin. "What...? Where is it...? " Evan muttered slowly. To his shock, the ice coffin was shattered. The one-eyed raven was nowhere to be seen. Only pieces of ice stone were lying on the ground. Evan was confused, he didn't expect to see something like this. Evan came to this conclusion because not much time had passed since he had frozen the one-eyed raven. Also, the "Half-Dead Forest " wasn't a particularly popular place and much less its outskirts. Besides, the ice tomb was in such a place that you had to go around a fallen tree to see it. In other words, stumbling upon it by accident was impossible. One had to go to the place with purpose. "So, I`ve come here for nothing? Damn, what happened to that raven? How did he manage to get out? " On the one hand, Evan was upset that he couldn't heal the raven, but on the other hand, if there was nothing wrong with the raven, then Evan had nothing to worry about. The monsters were stronger than humans and their regeneration was many times greater. Nothing was surprising that a monster with mortal wounds could survive. Moreover, Evan had given the raven some human blood, which should have had an effect as well. "All right, then, I'd better get back, I've got work to do. Raven is alive and that's all that matters, and what's more, I still have the pill. I bought it to cure the raven, but I think it can heal a man, too. It should work. " Boom. Evan was about to leave when suddenly there was a deafening explosion to the west of him. He immediately realized that someone was fighting in the "Half-Dead Forest ". In such a case, it would have been logical to run far away, but Evan was interested in watching the fight between two powerful opponents. He didn't know who was fighting, humans or monsters, but that wasn't important to him. It could be a valuable experience, moreover, he was just curious. He wasn't going to deprive himself of that kind of pleasure. Whoosh. Evan quickly made his way to where he heard the explosion. He stood behind the trunk of a huge tree and watched the battle closely. To his surprise, it was two guys fighting against one monster. These two had entered the Academy together with Evan and were newbie magicians just like him. During the opening ceremony, Evan had been watching carefully at everyone who`d entered the stage. For the same reason, he remembered these two. One was the "Amplifier " and the other was the 'Summoner ". "Warp ", their results at the entrance exam were just awful. Less than three seconds each>. Evan didn't understand why two rather weak newbie magicians had gone to the "Half-Dead Forest ". They were clearly losing to the monster they were fighting.
