Just like the Quicksand Trap, it doesn’t need any items and can be deployed right away, though there are only

so many uses.

‘The Quicksand Trap holds enemies in place, but the Thorn Field can deal heavy damage to them.

‘With this trap, things will be a lot easier from now on.

‘Man, I really want this, but I still have to wake Bob 13 up.

‘If I want to bring Bob 13 back, I have to use half a piece of White Marble Everleaf on him.‘

Leeanne was reluctant to part with it.

She felt like she was getting the short end of the stick, but this was a survival mission, and she’d never skipped one before.

If she didn’t do this task, it might mess up the missions she’d get later on.

She paused, then turned to Apprentice 49, who was crunching away on snacks without a care. “Hey, Apprentice 49, have you heard of White Marble Everleaf?”

She needed to find out what White Marble Everleaf was worth, and whether there was any substitute for it.

Apprentice 49 was so into his snacks, popping strawberries and handfuls of the black cherries, that he barely looked up. But when Leeanne asked, he answered right away, “Yes, I have.”

Leeanne asked, “Is it any good?”

Apprentice 49 replied, “No, it’s not good.”

Leeanne said, “Huh?”

Apprentice 49 said, “It’s not tasty. White Marble Everleaf tastes awful.”

Leeanne was silent.

Apprentice 49 paused, then pulled out a stack of crib notes. “Oh, right. Apprentice 9 gave me these cheat sheets. I remember there’s something about White Marble Everleaf in here. Let me check… Ah, found it.”

Apprentice 49 pinched out a tiny slip of paper with his fingers, which were stained dark with the black cherry juice.

The note was super small, just half an inch wide and about an inch and a half long, rolled up into a tiny scroll.

Apprentice 49 handed it over to Leeanne, the paper smudged with dark the black cherry juice.

Leeanne took it and unrolled the scroll. The words were crammed together and so tiny that she had to strain her eyes to read them.

‘My eyes are gonna fall out, Leeanne thought.

She found a sunny spot, pressed the tiny note right up to her face, and could barely make out the text:

[White Marble Everleaf: A spirit herb that extends life and nourishes the mind. Eating it boosts one’s energy. It matures once every forty–nine years, and withers away three days after ripening, One has to harvest it at the right time.]

[Growth Location: ****; Collection Method: ****; Preservation Method: ****?]

All four sections were crammed with tiny writing, but the black stains made it impossible to see anything clearly.

Leeanne strained her eyes so hard that she thought they might pop out, but finally managed to make out the last line:

[Usage and Dosage: Kids under 8 and seniors over 60: take 1/8 of a piece at a time, up to three times. Adults: 1/4 piece per dose, up to twice. For extraordinary folks: half a piece, all at once.]

[Note: White Marble Everleaf only works at its peak if one picks and stores it the right way, and follows the instructions exactly.]

By the time she finished reading, Leeanne felt like she was about to go blind.

‘These words are so freaking tiny,‘ Leeanne thought.

Apprentice 9 went all out, making these cheat sheets for Apprentice 49.

“That’s some real sibling love right there,‘ Leeanne thought.

After rubbing her eyes, Leeanne finally understood. Bob 13 was considered an extraordinary person, so he’d need half a piece. Her grandma would need three–eighths.

So she could only take an eighth herself.

‘Ouch, that stings,‘ Leeanne thought.

The mission had to be done. But she was determined to get back all these losses from Bob.

Leeanne carefully rolled up the note and asked Apprentice 49, “Do you still want it?”

Apprentice 49 scrunched up his face in disgust. “It’s so dirty. No way!”

Leeanne was silent.

‘Wasn’t it you who got it all messy in the first place?‘ she thought.

But honestly, it was better that Apprentice 49 didn’t want it. She’d keep it herself, in case it came in handy

After putting away the White Marble Everleaf note, Leeanne’s eyes lit up with an idea. “Hey, Apprentice 49, are any of your other notes still useful?”

Apprentice 49 immediately clutched his pocket, looking suspicious. “What are you after? No way! If you want one, make your own copy.”

‘Fine, whatever,‘ Leeanne thought.

She grabbed him by the arm. “Come on, let’s go and check on your grandpa Bob!”

That noise earlier was so loud, she had no idea what had happened.

Leeanne rushed to the courtyard. When she stepped into Bob 13’s room, she was completely floored.

Apprentice 23 was the only one inside, quietly staring at the bed.

Bob 13’s bed had caved in, the boards were busted, and there was a massive hole right in the middle. The floor below also collapsed, revealing a pitch–black opening.

Leeanne’s expression shifted. She thought, ‘Isn’t this the hole I dug myself?

‘Didn’t I fix the bed, add another layer, and patch up the floor? How did it still end up like this?

‘Where’s Bob 13?‘

She looked over and saw that Bob 13, bed and all, had been moved onto the floor, with dirt all over him.

‘No way… Did Bob 13 fall, too? So that’s why I have to rescue Bob 13?‘ she thought.

Leeanne hurried over and knelt beside Bob 13, reaching for his hand.

[Unconscious Bob 13: Can’t communicate with the outside world. Currently kept alive with special nutrient medicine. Treatment: White Marble Everleaf from Coral Island. Half a leaf will do.]

Leeanne breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness, Bob 13’s condition hasn’t gotten any worse, she thought.

Apprentice 23 seemed to know what Leeanne was worried about and said quietly, “It wasn’t Bob 13 who fell. It was the new nanny Bob hired to look after him.”

Just then, Bob jumped up, followed by a short, chubby female dwarf.

The dwarf was so round that she looked like a little hill. She looked guilty as hell, stammering, “It wasn’t me. It wasn’t me… I was making the bed, then I fell through. I… I’m not that heavy.”

Leeanne was stunned. ‘Wait, did the bed collapse because this dwarf climbed on it?‘ she thought.

Bob looked furious, and his eyes landed on Leeanne right away.

He suddenly hefted his giant hammer and shouted, “You thief. Are you trying to steal from me again?”

Leeanne took a step back. “I didn’t.”

‘Well, not yet, anyway, she thought.

Afraid Bob might go ballistic, Leeanne blurted out, “I can save your son.”

Bob froze for a second, then barked, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Apprentice 23 suddenly piped up, “Mr. Bob, Leeanne is the doctor I brought in. She’s here specifically to treat Bob 13. You should trust her.”
