Chapter 97: Eden's Garden (4)

"I heard a rumour that Branchio family has many valuable herbs that could benefit forbidden elemental user." Karl makes an excuse on the spot.

"Haha!" The woman laughs gracefully. "Who are spreading such rumours? Let me assure you, we have nothing like that. At least not here."

Karl smiles awkwardly.

"Anyhow we are here." The woman points at a broken fountain which looks a decade old. It has cracks all over the place while large amount of vegetation has taken over it's once solid floor. The actual fountain's structure is broken since a long time. Instead of a statue in the middle it only has a small well with a bucket attached to it.

"Why is this even here? In the middle of a no man's land." Karl asks as he looks around the dense forest.
