Chapter 435: Heading to the Grieving Hollow
Sarah nodded before reaching into her storage ring and taking out a small box. The container was ornately carved from what appeared to be silverwood, with protective runes etched along its edges that pulsed faintly with preservation magic.
Naturally, such a rare herb would be protected and preserved to ensure its effects remained optimum without any issues.
She handed it to him, her expression calm but resolute. "The physical enhancing herb is inside this box. I was planning to use it today, but you’ve come at the right time. Perhaps it’s fate, I’ve been delaying its consumption,"
Fate... huh?
Arthur accepted the box with careful hands, feeling the weight of both the physical object and its symbolic significance.
The irony wasn’t lost on him, considering his real surname was Fate, whilst his nickname was Fateless. The universe seemed to have a twisted sense of humour, delivering exactly what he needed through someone who spoke of destiny.
But the more things like that happened, the more he started to truly believe...he wasn’t really fateless, or perhaps he was thinking too deeply into it. Either way, none of these thoughts helped him with his current goals, so he decided to ignore them.
He opened the container briefly, just long enough to confirm the herb’s effect through the system. Inside lay a crystalline root that seemed to pulse with inner light, its surface reflecting rainbow patterns that spoke of concentrated mana and transformative potential. This was indeed an epic-rank enhancement herb, possibly even more potent than the Sky Vigour Root he’d acquired earlier.
"Thank you, Sarah," Arthur said, closing the box and securing it in his spatial storage. "It’s been a pleasure."
She studied his expression with those sharp eyes, noting the gratitude before nodding her head. "Thank you, too."
