The trees looked to be planted in a circle around a black stone boulder. Houses seemed to have been built into the trees with rope bridges connecting different trees together, making it look similar to the moving staircase at Hogwarts.
There must have been at least fifty gnomes that were peeking out from their homes, while the old gnome half carried the girl to the center of their little community.
A cluster of gnomes came out of one of the trees carrying a small 20 oz jar filled with some honey like liquid.
[Life Nectar- Rank: Rare
A precious liquid produced and revered by gnomes. They are only able to create a spoonful of nectar every full moon. Eating the nectar will cure most poisons and raise the user's maximum Health Points permanently.]
At least this explained why the gnome girl had such a high HP despite only being Level 2.
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of this nectar, though I doubted they would be willing to just give me some.
The old gnome fed some of the nectar to the girl, and I watched as the leg, which was almost completely black turned back to its normal color.
After a few more moments, the girl presented her leaf backpack to the old gnome who opened it, almost worshiping. He opened it and took out a white round pebble that looked to be pulsing with energy.
[Spirit Stone- Rank: Very Special
Houses a dormant spirit. Can be used to ward a small area from others. Spirits can be bound to someone once hatched. The type of spirit depending on the sacrifices used to feed it while in its dormant state.]
It seems that the reason why the gnome girl was in the jungle was to collect another spirit stone for the village.
Honestly, I never expected for this dungeon to be filled with so many interesting things.
"Squee. Squeeee sque, sqeeeee?"
[A quest had been created.]
[Gnome Protector]
[You can see how the gnome races struggles to live in this dungeon. Will you be their protector and help them rebuild their lost civilization?
Completion Reward: 5,000 EXP
Spoonful of Life Nectar x 1
Completion Failure: None]
Do you wish to accept? [Yes][No]
Looking down I saw them look at me with hopeful eyes. The pure innocence in their eyes made the corners of my mouth rise up.
Terry POV:-
"Hey, Charles whatcha doing?" the brown-haired boy said as he noticed his fellow Ravenclaw sitting alone, eating a piece of toast with a jar of honey next to him. He was holding what looked like a normal white stone next to his eye.
Charles looked up and put the stone away, "Oh nothing much, just enjoying some toast."
"Cool, can I have some?" Terry said, reaching for a slice only for the plate to be pulled away.
"Nope. This is my special honey, I aint wasting it on you?"
"Aw come on man, don't be so stingy," he said, lunging for the plate again only for it to be moved further away, "What's so special about it anyway?"
"Well, it is the last of its kind."
"And the other?"
"It's mine, and I don't feel like sharing."
The boy gained a tick mark before lunging, "…Give me some of that toast!"
"Come at bro, better people than you have tried and died!"
-------------
Today was October 31st, a day that was to be celebrated. Not only was it Halloween, but it also marked the end of a terrible war, as well as my birthday.
Yep, I had officially turned 12 years old… again.
Back in my past life, we had celebrated it by holding a large costume party at one of our mansions, surrounded by family and friends. My parents had taken every chance to flaunt their wealth, and I had received a total of 50,000 dollars' worth of presents all together.
This year however, I wasn't expecting much on account I hadn't told anyone.
Perhaps it was for this reason why I was surprised when Daphne appeared in front of me early in the morning holding a present with bright green wrapping paper, a shiny silver ribbon placed on top.
"Well color me impressed, I didn't think you would figure it out this soon," I said with a smile as I took the offered present and gave it an experimental shake.
Daphne gave a haughty huff befitting of a pureblood, "You underestimate my family's connection Charles."
"Well, I thank you anyway. It's very thoughtful."
"Of course, we are allies after all," she said as if it was obvious.
Carefully untying the ribbon, I pulled the top off the present, part of me on guard for any unexpected traps.
However, What was inside was a black leather top hat with a blue silk ribbon at the base. I could honestly say this was not what I was expecting. Though I did recall that top hats seemed to still be in fashion on this side.
I used [Observe] on it just to make sure it didn't have any hidden 'surprises'.
I placed it experimentally on my head and gave the stoic girl a smile, "How do I look?"
"Surprisingly not completely hideous," she said stoically, though I detected a hint of warmth in her tone.
"Well I love it. Just the right amount of snazzy feel."
Crossing her arms Daphne raised an eyebrow, "Good, I expect something to reflect those same feelings when it's my birthday?"
Rolling my eyes, I took off the hat and put it away for the moment, "Don't worry Princess, I already have your present, and I'm sure you'll love it."
"Good, then I must be off," she said before turning around and leaving me alone.
She was adorable when she got shy.
However, I had no time for such sentimentalities when there was still work to be done.
