Charlie was cautious throughout the whole week, but after a few days, he got used to the system. He knew how to evade the attacking flowers like the back of his hand, and if he can't evade, he'll just put them to sleep with his new technique.Life is hard without the help of the golden tree. He had to read the encyclopedia over and over again before he could fully understand the content written on the pages.“Alas! I'll have to wait for the golden tree to come back online before I could venture out of this place.“I don't know how Becky and the others would be fairing right now… good thing I escaped from the iron grasp of that ruthless elder Frak.”The small hut was now sparkly clean, and books of different sizes were arranged neatly on the bookshelf. All the COOKING UTENSILS and POTS had been washed clean and were placed in the corner of the room. There's one particular pot/cauldron that has been filled to the brim with sunflower oil. The sunflowers had suffered in his hands, if not

Elder Frank and the other warriors had already reached the intersection between the path that leads to the icy plains and annfirld before he suddenly stopped.“halt! You guys should wait for a little, I have something to do at the back.” He walked away from the group after saying that.“Why did you stop? We're already near annfirld for crying out loud!” Becky asked when she saw him approaching.Elder Frank didn't speak a word when he reached her side, at least not until he knocked Fanda out with a powerful punch.“Who told you we're passing annfirld? There's a change of plan, we'll be passing through the icy plains instead.” Elder Frank said."Since this traitorous bastard had revealed the fact that he'd been found out, annfirld is now a dangerous place to pass. There must have been about a hundred warriors lying in wait for us already. So we'll take the icy plains instead.” Elder Frank explained.“Oh! I always thought you were a battle maniac who would choose to battle, without carin

“How did you survive the silent garden? We all thought you were dead… " Becky said as she ran to hug Charlie. "You even missed your burial.”“When you get to the garden, you’ll understand how I stayed alive,” Charlie said.“Good thing he was passing through this route, else I don't how much suffering you'll have to endure.”Charlie looked at the unmasked assassin who was staring daggers at him.A few hours later, they got to the silent garden. Charlie Removed the gag from the middle-aged assassin’s mouth and dared him to speak. But the man stayed quiet throughout their walk in the garden.After a silent walk through the garden, they finally got to the hut. Charlie offered Becky a drink from one of his cauldrons of water. She accepted the drink and drank like a thirsty camel.Becky motioned for him while pointing to the bowl of water she was holding.“Ho! You can talk now, they can’t hear you from here”“Where did you get this water!?” Becky looked at the clear water in surprise.“I go

The trio, Charlie, Becky, and Mr. Kevin had long left the silent garden behind, and they were now on their way to the tribe shelter. But before Charlie left, he had sprinkled some red sunflower seeds at the entrance of the garden and some other important places in the garden. The only regret he had was that he didn’t have enough chance to pluck the fruit from the stingy tree.He had also requested a small leader purse from Becky. All the elixirs and oil that got to him after sharing it with Becky, were kept in the purse.“It’s been three weeks since we separated from the team, Frank and the others should have reached the icy plains by now.” Becky looked worried.“Where are the icy plains?” Charlie asked confused.“It is a region in the north that’s always cold no matter the weather or season, and it’s also the most dangerous place in this region,” Becky explained. “I’ll explain more to you when we get to the shelter.” The trio walked for a few more hours before they reached the shelt

"is your father an apothecary by chance?” one of the apothecaries present in the room looked thoughtful as he observed the slightly green oil in the 50-cl bottle. "but I haven't heard of or seen an apothecary who can make a divine elixir like this. Do you mind if I ask for your father's name?” the middle-aged apothecary asked.“Maybe I have seen or heard of him somewhere before.” He continued. The three others in the room paused whatever it is that they were doing as they stared at charlie intently. Waiting curiously for him to answer the question.Seeing that Charlie was being bullied by these Old men, Becky opened her mouth to talk but the old physician was faster than her."he does not wish to talk about his father, you can all go back to your position.” The old physician dismissed them."Can I see the oil in your hand?” The old physician asked and Charlie gave it to him.“I’m sorry, but I can only give one-quarter of this oil to the physicians' tents. That’s the only oil I have le
