Chapter 180: Half a Basket of Wild Vegetables
Despair Lake
Lakeside Forest
Crack… crack…
A girl was grasping a small sickle with her slender fingers, carefully cutting the green stems, then tossing the large oval leaves into the bamboo basket behind her, revealing a satisfied smile.
These wild vegetables were called ‘dragon hearts’, because of its large heart-like leaves. It’s savory and rich, and commonly seen in the forests, it could be considered a commonplace food for the people of Heino Kingdom.
The girl had an average appearance, a small nose, and small eyes. Her fingers and arms were covered in dust, there was even black mud on her cheeks slightly hiding her freckles. She looked like a refugee, but she didn’t mind and used the back of her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and continued to look for even more wild vegetables in the forest.
She was only focused on finding wild vegetables and didn’t notice that she wandered onto the Despair Lakeside camp.
Stationed at the camp were people not to be trifled with from various magic academies from all over Eileen, the surroundings of the camp was also guarded by soldiers, so it could be said that security was very tight. But there was no disturbance when the girl intruded, even the guards that noticed her didn’t bother chasing her away, they just glanced at her and returned to patrolling like they didn’t see anything.
They couldn’t be blamed, based on this girl’s appearance, she was just a normal girl that lived in a nearby village that came to pick wild vegetable for her family, she wasn’t a threat at all.
