Hero or Villain, Both Chapter 257: Creating a garden

This Evergreen Orb that I picked up was a special item that was ford by the energy that filled nature.

But it wasn’t just any item as it concentrated that natural energy to the point where it took the form of this orb.

With all that energy concentrated into this orb form, it was naturally quite the potent thing.

This was how the trees around this place had grown to this point to begin with.

But it was also because of the large amount of nature energy that they had mutated into becoming living trees that attacked anything that approached. The Evergreen Orb was the source of their growth and they couldn’t allow anything to take it, which was why they attacked anything that got close.

Now that I had gotten this Evergreen Orb, it was ti to put it to work.

With this Evergreen Orb in hand, I returned to the town.

The mont that they saw co back, Vanessa ca over as if she was asking if I had gotten the thing.

I just said, "Has the garden been prepared?"

She didn’t waste a single word as she led in a certain direction.

It didn’t take us long to arrive at a large empty space.

This was the space that she had prepared for to place the Evergreen Orb in.

I didn’t say anything either as I walked to the center of this space and placed the Evergreen Orb down.

The mont that the Evergreen Orb touched the ground, there was green that appeared around it. Even though this land was supposed to be desolate, grass appeared the mont that the Evergreen Orb was placed down.

Seeing this, Vanessa didn’t waste ti at all to send the workers that had been gathered to the center with their tools and seeds.

With everyone working together, they were able to quickly plant the seeds in the area around the Evergreen Orb.

Though from ti to ti, they couldn’t help stopping to take a close look at the Evergreen Orb.

That was because not long after the seeds had been planted, there were sprouts that already appeared. It seed that the seeds that had been planted were growing at a visible rate.

That was just how much nature energy the Evergreen Orb possessed.

At this rate, it seed like this place would be filled with plants very soon.

Even though I had called this place a garden, what it really was was a place where we would grow plants and harvest the resources that they gave. This would create a place where we would be able to grow many different resources at an incredible speed.

It was all possible because of the dense nature energy that the Evergreen Orb released.

Though there was also one thing that had to be considered.

"Make sure that they watch over the plants carefully and harvest them once they reach a certain point. If they don’t, the plants will mutate and it’ll be hard to take care of them when the ti cos." I said to Vanessa while watching them plant the seeds.

She gave a nod before saying, "I know."

While I didn’t doubt her abilities, it did seem like she was underestimating the Evergreen Orb.

After thinking about it, I decided not to say anything since it was good for her to suffer a loss now and again.

And that surprise soon arrived in the form of...

"Ah! It’s running away!"

When Vanessa heard this, she imdiately turned to see that one of the carrots that we had planted had suddenly jumped out of the ground and was running away from the workers.

First, it was a surprise that this carrot had grown this fast.

Second, it was a shock that the carrot had been able to co to life and run around like this.

There was a strange look that appeared on Vanessa’s face when she saw this, as if she realized that she had made a mistake. She had clearly underestimated the power of the Evergreen Orb.

After watching them chase the carrot a bit, she slowly turned to look at with a glare.

I didn’t say anything, I just looked at her with a smile on my face that almost seed like I was saying, "I told you so."

Vanessa didn’t bother arguing with anymore as she started giving orders to the other workers. After all, if sothing wasn’t done, then it was likely that the rest of the carrots would co to life as well and cause the sa problem.

So the only solution was to harvest them and move them away from the Evergreen Orb as soon as possible.

At this point, it was a race against ti to stop the carrots from absorbing even more nature energy.

In the end, they lost this race.

There were several more carrots that ca to life and started running away from the workers. There were even so that wanted to take the Evergreen Orb for themselves since they could feel the power that ca from it.

So it was a match of keeping the carrots away from the Evergreen Orb.

I didn’t help them since it was only through trial and error that they would learn how to properly grow these plants around the Evergreen Orb. It wasn’t as if I would be around all the ti, so they had to learn how to do it themselves.

That was why we used these carrot seeds first since the carrots wouldn’t be that much of a problem. If we used the rarer seeds and those plants ca to life, then it was likely that so of them would beco plants that could even use magic.

Then that would be really hard to deal with.

Though the look on my face was calm, I was also a bit surprised.

"I really never thought that it would grow so fast. It seems like this Evergreen Orb isn’t just a normal one, it might even be a rare quality one."
