"Wow we got another one here master."
The blonde maid squatted and plucked a red colored flower before handing it to Kylo.
Generally one does not stay in their transformed form like Avery. Normally they transform back to their original form.
Because it consumes energy to maintain such a form but somehow Avery is not having any problem maintaining her elf form.
The only reasonable conclusion Kylo came to was because of her unique bloodline.
"Really why are there so many flowers in the third passageway?"
Kylo muttered to himself in confusion.
It has been more than two hours since they walked but they could not see the end path yet.
After few seconds Nigel replied
"Is it because... this is 'Zahrah Province'?"
"....Are you referring to the province's background?"
It was Avery who spoke after few seconds of contemplation. After all she might be a little naive and innocent but definitely not a fool.
Nigel nodded.
"What are you all talking about?" Kylo could only ask in confusion.
Avery was about to reply when...
"Ah another flower."
She squatted and picked up another flower like the red one. The only difference was
"It's black this time..." Kylo muttered while checking the flower.
Even he did not know anything about these different color of flowers.
But if there was one thing he was sure of then it was that
[These are definitely treasures.]
After all something that could grow in this perverted cave was anything but a waste.
He kept looking at the flower while listening to the background from Avery. (A/N1)
"Interesting..." Kylo squinted listening to the entire story.
He wanted to consume the flower to check if he can refine these as well.
After all Devils were one of the few races who could refine almost all types of the flowers. (A/N2)
He shook his head and stored the flower inside his space ring. After all he didn't wanted to take any risks before knowing the background of these colorful flowers.
Suddenly Nigel stopped moving. He was looking straight ahead with a serious gaze.
Seeing this both the master and maid stopped.
"What happened?" Avery asked in confused tone.
But even if she was confused, she already took a defensive stance.
After all Nigel showing such a look definitely meant he sensed something.
[Though I would be useless...] thought Avery while taking out her weapon.
Kylo did not ask anything but his gaze was as confused as Avery. Though he also started gathering energy.
Nigel shook his head and said with a solemn look ok his face.
"I don't know but my instincts are saying something is not right."
And this was definitely something neither Kylo mor Avery could ignore.
After all a beast's instinct is far superior than most of the races in this universe. Not to mention someone with a profound background like Nigel.
But even after few minutes passed nothing happened.
Avery frowned while asking
"Are you sure you aren't being an alarmist."
[This is the reason why he took more time than Avery to complete the third passageway.]
Kylo thought to himself in dissatisfaction. But he was still on guard.
"Let's proceed ahead cautiously." Kylo said after a moment of silence.
Nigel could only nod and continue walking warily.
On the way Avery continued doing her job plucking the flowers while Kylo was still thinking about the province's background mentioned by Avery.
[Till now we found many treasures. And all of them were natural treasures]
[Except for glaviers and the coldsteel table that is]
Kylo continued to ponder with a serious expression.
[There were few precious metals found as well.]
[But 80% of the treasures are rare herbs and flowers.]
[Previously I didn't think much. But now after hearing about Zahrah Province...]
"Master what is this?"
Nigel and Kylo both were thinking about the cave when they were interrupted by the blonde elf's voice.
They looked at the place where she was pointing and they both said in a shocked voice at the same time
""Seven Colored Phantasm Flower!!""
