off to sell the four gentlemen soup now
if you have time let us dine together
Upon Our return I have yet to properly
express my gratitude to you after xer
finished speaking he packed the
medicinal bundles into a basket and the
two descended the mountain side by side
Giani glanced at the time it was already
1: in the afternoon they had spent 5
hours on the island preoccupied with
assisting NPCs and had not even eaten
exiting the building Gian intended to
continue along the stone path upwards
but after a short distance she
encountered a sign no entry without
permission behind the sign a fog swirled
obscuring the path ahead compelling gon
G to retrace her steps down the mountain
as she approached the binding vine tree
she heard it call out human you've
returned have you thought about how to
compensate for my arm your wound is
healed the ample Spirit spring water
should suffice for you to regrow several
limbs alas even without Spirit Spring
Water anything delicious or refreshing
will do I know a secret about this
island do you wish to hear it The
Binding vine tree happily waved its
branches a secret what sort of secret is
it treasure Gian felt a stir of
excitement first provide me with
something tasty to eat and drink and
then I may consider divulging it to you
I have lived here for centuries and I
know everything Gian rummaged through
her system backpack retrieving a small
bowl of chicken and mushroom stew
carefully pouring it onto the ground
near The Binding vine tree slurp slurp
the flavor is decent quite ordinary is
there nothing more special still greedy
after living for centuries Gian G
retorted then poured a bowl of Tom Yum
SE food soup for it to drink this flavor
is invigorating both sour and spicy
however this shell is a bit tough I'm
not fond of it de you have anything else
Gian suppressed her urge and poured half
a bottle of soda onto the ground oh
refreshing this is good I like this
bring me more The Binding vine tree
reached out its branches attempting to
snatch the remaining soda but Gian
swiftly tucked it into her backpack
you've had your drink now tell me the
secret and I will give you the rest all
right all right what do you wish to know
the most precious treasure on this
island is me do not just do you know
what the medical Immortal favors if the
binding vine tree remains silent Gian G
pressed directly that old man loves to
heal others and study medicinal formulas
his interest lies in Wood Wood what kind
of wood Black Gold wood Giani recalled
that even his doors and windows were
made of Black Gold wood making it
somewhat challenging to chire something
like that he either studies medicinal
herbs or would every day I'll let you in
on a secret that old man is afraid of
water haaha if he fears water why build
his Palace by the waterfall because that
place is rich in spiritual energy he
needs it to sustain the growth of the
entire Island Gian nodded in
understanding do you know where I can
find black goldwood black goldwood is
rare because it requires an abundance of
spiritual energy to grow most of that
energy is absorbed by it making the
probability of mutated Darkwood low thus
in areas abundant in spiritual energy
the yield of Black Gold wood is higher
the tree spoke with such Authority that
Gian found it quite convincing according
to their agreement Gian poured the
remaining half bottle of soda onto the
binding vine tree you are quite generous
I'll share an extra secret with you
behind the Eastern Grove lies a lake and
at the bottom of that lake is what you
seek after speaking The Binding vine
tree withdrew its branches into the
darkness and no matter how Gian G called
there was no response looking towards
the Narrow Path on her right Gian G took
out her dagger and cleared away through
the vines leading Doo into the woods
