Chapter 23 - HERB HUNTING II

Kasper: Yes your majesty (smiles) I knew you were a good girl just with a cold face.

Lyrixa: What did you just say? (threw a blade coated with black flames angrily)

Kasper: I'm sorry your majesty (narrowly dodged the blade as he felt some strand of hair fell to the ground)

...

The investigating team along side some handful skilled royal soldiers headed out for herb hunting.

Kasper: (recalled what Athena said while in the lab)

~

Athena: Congratulations host has obtained a test tube full of miasma. 30 XP point is granted. Would you like to to trade miasma bottle for a weapon?

Kasper: Really? I wanna test it out already.

Lyrixa: Please be safe, everyone of you (muttered to herself)

Azrael: My queen (suddenly appeared without a sound of footsteps)

Lyrixa: (unconsciously trembled) What is this aura? He has gotten much more stronger (frowned at the thought of it)

Azrael: Are you alright my queen? (Suddenly asked upon seeing her unconsciously frown)

Lyrixa: Yes I'm fine. And updates?

Azrael: Yes my queen (headed some reports to her) There has been appearance of some unknown creatures with tremendous power, greater than demon soldiers. (Stated) We were able to find a dead one next to the stream. There were traces of sword cuts and it's was no ordinary cut.

Lyrixa: An death records related to the unknown creatures?

Azrael: Only one death record my queen

A chilling atmosphere broke in. There was already break out of unknown creatures yet only one death record. It was probably the dead demon the investigating team saw during their first encounter with the unknown creature. Something wasn't right, it felt like they were after something, like they were being controlled by someone.

Lyrixa: (nods slightly)

Azrael: We also caught two Babylonia spies trying to invade the town.

Lyrixa: Alright, bring them for trial later on. You may leave now (gestured to him)

Azrael: Yes my queen (took a slight bow and left with a meek and innocent smile on his face)

...

Kasper: Wow... So much herbs. (ran from one spot to another) Here (handed them some torn pages from a book to everyone) look for the plants resembling this in the picture. And remember not to touch any poisonous plants (ran off into the woods) I'll go and search some amazing plants

Lyraen:Sir Kasper (chased after him)

Howzer: Lady... Lyraen (tried to call after Lyraen but realized that she had chased after Kasper) I thought we could hang out together (wore a gloomy face)

Leon: Get a hold of yourself ( walked passed him and began uprooting some herbs then putting them into his basket.

Kasper: Woooooah. So much healing flower...(Eyes flashed with excitement) SYSTEM SCAN!

Lyraen: (leaned against a tree for support) He got some speed and endurance for an ordinary human.

Kasper: (filled in one basket with one type of herbs then another basket with one types)

Lyraen: (shocked) 9 full baskets already. (She had only leaned for support then looked up to see Kasper had already filled 9 baskets with completely different herbs in each)

Kasper: oh Shadow-stalk, causes numbness and can be used for pain relief in small doses. A poison and a healing herb! Cool. (Ran towards another herb) Woah an Ironbark Seed, strengthens bones and reduces joint pain. I should probably give some of the solider to put in their meals.

Lyraen: (helped Kasper in uprooting some herbs similar to the samples he placed in each basket) He looks handsome when lost in his own world. (Stole a peek at Kasper while observing a flower)
