Johnson glanced at the storage ring pushed towards him, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. Herbs were precious in Eldoria due to their use in alchemy, and Skyler claimed to have found some.
He picked up the ring, looking at Charles and Skyler, who were seated before him.
"Did you two find them in the crystal? Considering you are giving me the strong ring, I believe there are a lot of them. Maybe you two lucked out and found a cluster of them growing together in an area. How many are there? Five? Ten..."
His words trailed off as he peered into the storage ring and saw what it held. Instantly, a bead of sweat formed on his forehead, and he let out a weak laugh.
"Ah... haha..."
He, Skyler, and Charles were still seated at the dining table. Jenny had retreated to her room to sleep, and Riya, who was watching them from the kitchen with Riruru, inquired what had happened when she saw her husband wiping his forehead.
Johnson glanced at her.
"No, nothing dear."
