Chapter 81: A Life to Long For
With that, Krobus pulled out a small pouch from who-knows-where.
“For example, something like this.”
“If it’s too valuable, I can’t accept it.” Leon didn’t rush to take it. Friendship was both priceless and measurable—if it was an expensive gift, there was no way he would accept it.
“It’s nothing precious, just some unknown seeds washed down by the rain. Don’t you have a farm? You could plant them and see what grows.” Krobus explained.
“Let me take a look.”
Leon took the pouch, opened it, and immediately recognized the seeds inside. They were mixed seeds—about eight of them. Definitely not an expensive item.
So Leon accepted the gift with a smile. “Then I’ll take it. Thank you, Krobus. Next time I come by, I’ll bring you a gift too.”
“Alright.” Krobus didn’t refuse Leon’s kindness. In fact, he looked forward to Leon’s gift—it meant Leon truly considered him a friend. And having a friend who gives gifts felt… wonderful.
After chatting a bit more, Leon bid Krobus farewell and retraced his steps back to the Sewer Drain. There, he retrieved his bicycle and rode home. Along the way, he didn’t see any wild plants worth foraging.
