Chapter 65: Next Challenge to Bee-t
When the next day began, Belissar made his way to the new flame radish node in the Apiary. As with other resource plant nodes, a few of the flowers were glowing slightly. He pulled on these and the whole plant came out, including a brand new, fully grown flame radish at the bottom. He very carefully took one of these over to the Shrine of Bees and, as he had and continued to do with all the products he gathered, placed the radish within the wax chest, watching very carefully for any sign of flames.
“Thank you again, for everything. I hope you like it.”
The statue and chest glowed with light. When the light faded and Belissar opened up the chest, the flame radish was gone. He exhaled his breath; the offering had gone well and with no unintentional fires.
With that, he continued on his day. He gathered the remaining flame radishes and stored them in the pot he left in the Apiary’s campfire pit. He then gathered and offered some healing herbs, mana flowers, and honey trays before storing the remainder. He didn’t gather every resource in his Tower every day, but more medicine was always good to have, the mana flowers were supposedly very useful and valuable, and the Apiary bees were happy whenever he accepted honey from them, so he always gathered those three at the very least.
After that, Belissar considered his next move. The minor purification cooldown finished in the morning today, so he could start one right away if he wanted. But he did not. Instead, he walked over to the Flower Meadow. He found the soldier bee army had already started their training, with one of the queens leading them. She came and saluted to him.
“Good morning! Um...”
He took a minute to figure out how to word his question.
“If two of the normal wolf-shades attacked, how would it go?”
The queen immediately began to dance, indicating that the army would bring it down. Belissar rubbed his chin.
