My Own Path: The Red Phoenix
Ch 13 – Heaven Sun Lotus
Claude ran along the road to the forest.
“Hey Little Claude, are you going to look for herbs?”
“Iya uncle”
“Where's your uncle? Why are you alone?”
“Starting today, I myself will be looking for herbs, while uncle Tanhill just sit quietly waiting for me to come home” Claude smiled brightly “I am free”
Along the way Claude is often reprimanded by farmers who are working their land, for these farmers Claude is a good and cheerful child, and sometimes likes to help them, he said, these farmers knew Claude well.
Entering the Green Lantern Forest Outer Claude recalled the rules that every herbal seeker must obey namely, do not be greedy, when you find an herbal plant look at their numbers, see their numbers, if there are three then take one if there are five then take two, if it is less than three then do not take it.
According to the rumors that circulated when someone greedily harvested the herbs and ignored the rule, the person received wrath from the forest, the, the man was found dead covered in poisonous spines near the herbs he had harvested.
It seems like the rumors were made to scare the little ones or the budding herbal seekers, as no one has yet proven the truth of the rumors, but all herbal seekers abide by the rules.
Even Claude would abide by the rules, not because he believed the rumors, but Claude knew that with the rules, the herbs in the forest would never run out, and will always be there for future Alchemists.
‘Hmm now I am free to hunt and train, but I also must not forget my main task’ Claude reminded himself.
“Ok, what plant will I first get” Claude keeps walking into the forest.
Claude continued to look down, and looking up at the details of every part of the forest, Claude did not want to miss a single Herbal plant.
There are also some traces of herbal seekers who first came to this area, including with a plant that leaves only 2 stalks, it is clear that this plant has been harvested by them.
“Hmm looks like this area, already explored someone, I will go east hopefully there are still many” Claude decided to change the direction of his search.
“Ho seems like my decision is exactly” Just a minute Claude changed his direction, Claude has found a group of Soulvine Grass. The plant which is a fairly rare base material, the supply in the city is not too much but the demand is quite high.
Claude took half of the amount of Soulvine Grass there was, after thanking nature Claude continued his search.
After that Clude found and harvested various materials such as Moon Leaf, Ash Grass, Red Grass, and some Light Fruit.
Does not feel the sun has risen, Claude has collected many types of ingredients – herbal ingredients so that the shells are now in full condition.
“Hmm why do I feel today I am so quick to collect herbs – herbs? why is it that when I go out with uncle Tanhill this basket feels so full for so long?” Claude's confused.
“Freely also I thought about it, good that this basket is full quickly so I can go play while waiting for the afternoon to arrive” Claude stretch his body.
- kruyukk
But arrived – arrived his stomach rang.
“Ah looks like my stomach is asking to be filled first” Claude holds his stomach, and takes a Red Apple and starts eating it.
“Hmm did I go looking for rabbits and chickens only yes, instead of eating this fruit does not block my stomach at all” despite saying that Claude still ate some Red Apple and Yellow Banana that he had while looking for the whereabouts of some animals.
“Where are my hunted Wild Beasts, why is there not a single one today that looks” Claude was upset because he did not find the hunt.
Without Claude realizing it he was walking further and further away from the city, although it had not passed the boundaries of the outer forest, but Claude was not far from the boundary of the indeterminate.
Amidst his search, arrived – Claude heard a lot of footsteps not far from where he was.
Curious Claude walked in the direction of the voice, with an alert attitude Claude immediately used the Shadow Lost ability he used to use when going to ambush his prey.
Shadow Lost was a skill that Claude had created himself through many experiences when Claude was trying to hunt down Wild Beasts, this ability could hide Claude's existence to some extent, unless his opponent was too strong, or using Claude's Detection magic could not be found.
To facilitate his movement Claude hid his basket in a pile of bushes first, after which Claude approached the direction of the sound.
After sitting near the bush – bush Claude opened the foliage and then saw a group of people sitting resting while eating their lunch.
“Ah turned out to be uncle Warren and his flock, I guess who” Claude recognized one of them, and quickly concluded that the adventurers would explore the area within the forest, and for a while they rest here.
“I guess I'll get something interesting” Claude shook his head immediately let go of his ability.
“Who's there?” one of the adventurers was aware of Claude's whereabouts, the adventurer was quite shocked at not being able to sense Claude's presence until this close.
“I'm Claude uncle” Claude answered the horse, Claude walked over.
“Hey Little Claude what are you doing here, where's your uncle?”
‘Why this question always comes up when I meet someone’ Claude riled “I'm here looking for uncle's herbs, and now I'm alone because I'm old I'm no longer with my uncle”
“Oh ... Where is your herbal basket?” one of the adventurers asked.
“He he I left there, previously I did not know who you are, so I hid it first so that later if there is danger I can escape quickly”
“Good thoughts nak” says Warren “But still you can't wander around here, this area is too dangerous for a little kid like you ..”
kruyuk, kruyuk
Amidst – Warren's talk, arrived – arrived Claude's stomach rang, holding his stomach Claude smiled awkwardly.
“Ha ha ha ha” all the adventurers there laughed out loud - bahak saw Warren's speech that cut off Claude's stomach.
“Ha ha ha, are you hungry son? Come – come here we still have a lot of food here, eat a little, after that you have to go home to the city immediately, what does the chairman?” one of the adventurers asked Warren for permission.
Warren sighed, “Well you ate first son, after that you went back to town, otherwise I will tell your uncle, if you roam here” Warren said.
“Every uncle” Claude did not hesitate he immediately joined the adventurers for lunch, Claude himself is a child who quickly get along therefore the adventurers have long known Claude, Claude, coupled with Tanhill always helping them it was obvious that these adventurers treated Claude as part of them.
“By the way – says uncle, this time you guys entered the deep forest to find what?” Claude asked curiously, as it was not usual for Warren to escort the main forces of the Behemoth City adventurer association to the deep forest.
“Nak you are lucky today to meet us, have you ever heard of a flower called Heaven Sun Lotus?”
“Heaven Sun Lotus ..” Claude pondered for a while, before being surprised by his own memory “You're going to look for that flower? Isn't the flower very hard to find even in the inner area though?”
“Yes that's right, son, but this time we get general information about its location, although not specific still we as adventurers have to go there and check it out, he said, after all the pay this time is very large ha ha ha”
“Ho .. I'm sure the guy is very rich and is trying once to get that interest” Claude responded “I bet that guy is from the empire, I bet, given the efficacy of the Heaven Sun Lotus only the main family of the Emperor can maximize its effects, coupled with the cost I am confident with my assumptions, right uncle?”
“Ha ha ha, it's a pity that I don't know who gave this task, only the chairman who knows it” the adventurer glanced at Warren.
“Ohhh” arrives – arrives a crazy idea terbesit in Claude's mind.
“Uncle Warren may I come with you, I would love to see the Heaven Sun Lotus, you know I will become an Alchemist I must multiply my knowledge of the Herbal plant, you know, and it's a rare occasion where I'm going to see the legendary flower” Claude spoke at length with his hearty face staring at Warren.
“No, once full you immediately go home” Warren does not flinch.
“Ha ha ha, son you want to come with us, wait another 10 years new we will consider your request ha ha” some adventurers laugh with Claude's request.
“Cih stingy once” Claude sneering.
“Hey son, you don't try to fool us, we know you hate to make pills, your own uncle who often talked to us when we drank with ha ha ha”
“Ah ... Ah ... I've finished eating, uncle – uncle thanks for the food, I say go home first yes” Claude embarrassed by his lies revealed, I said, and quickly – quickly go leave this group of old uncles.
Claude returned to pick up his basket, and continued on his way.
Today Claude was a little dissatisfied, besides he got some good herbs still did not make Claude happy, because Claude did not find a Wild Beast that he could make as an object of practice.
A few hours later Claude was still wandering around the edge of the deep forest, the sun was about to set, Claude decided to go home, with a look full of disappointment Claude stepped home.
But only for a moment, then Claude smelled an intoxicating fragrance.
“From where this smell came from” Claude curious of his adventurous soul ordered Claude to check the direction of the smell.
Not forgetting Claude used Shadow Lost, Claude slowly stepped closer to a pond, and a moment later Claude was startled by his own invention.
“Heaven Sun Lotus!!!”
